Rocky Mountains
I feel like pictures taken from airplanes usually turn out poorly, but I got lucky with this one. Picture taken with Canon SX130 IS, lens @ 6.74mm (38mm eq), 1/1000 sec shutter, f/3.5, ISO 80

A sunset picture with a different color palette… I took this long ago when driving around looking for houses back in 2008, which makes me think it was taken somewhere along the backroads of Vergennes Township. I didn’t have a tripod with me so it was taken at ISO1600 which… Continue reading
Sick of sunsets yet? It was kind of the goal of the trip – to actively plan some photography opportunities – but, this is the last one, I promise. We actually got cheated out of a truly good sunset by that layer of clouds on the horizon. Picture taken with… Continue reading
Sunset from the South end Comstock Riverside Park at the end of a run. This is my current favorite place to run because it’s a pretty nice park and because I know the markers for common distances out and back. Picture taken with Samsung Galaxy S4, 4.2mm lens (31mm equivalent),… Continue reading
Took an evening to experiment with moonrise photography and took this one of the moonrise over Reed’s Lake in East Grand Rapids. I think the key to moon photography is having a clear view of something interesting but far away to make a foreground. I only partially succeeded in this… Continue reading
My meta picture of a picture of a sunset. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 30mm, 1/100 sec, f/8, ISO 100
Smoky Mountain Sunset round two. Same basic picture as yesterday, but just a single shot and a more natural looking processing. Not really sure which version I prefer. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL18200 lens @ 32mm, 1/80 shutter, f/8, ISO 100
New picture from the recent weekend in the Smoky Mountains. Specifically tried to get some sunrise and sunset pictures this time, which was helped by staying closer to the park than the last time we were there. The downside of trying to practice photography more is that I have far… Continue reading
I posted a similar Badlands sunset picture back in the Badlands – norconk.com. I think this one has a slightly better foreground and a little lighter touch on the HDR compilation. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 18-135mm lens @ 45mm, 1/10 – 1/160 shutter, f/16, ISO 100
Sticking with the animal theme for one more picture, this is one of the better shots I got of a bear while in Yellowstone, even though it’s a black bear and not the more impressive Grizzly. Hung around watching this one forage for about an hour and of course took… Continue reading
