Here is my B&W sepia of an image I took on the side of Grand Mesa in western Colorado. Looks a bit moody and might be some trouble on the horizon!

This is the Frontier Refinery here in Cheyenne. Kathy and I were out doing some night time photography a few years back. She thought this would be an interesting subject. Anyway, I thought I'd reprocess this into a B&W. It brings to mind for me anyway, nightshift activity and moodiness of the night.

This is a sunset image from my back yard, outside of Cheyenne, WY. I took this last fall and I like the effect and the lighting! Not to mention the scene itself.

Here's another Bull Elk image I took as the sun was getting low. He was pretty intent on a bunch of cows and not to worried about us. I had a pretty long lens on to boot. I was pretty impressed with the lighting on this particular image, taken in Rocky Mountain National Park.

Last fall on a backroad in the Medicine Bow National Forest. Southeast Wyoming. I'd rather be here than on blacktop anytime!

Here is another one of my backyard lightning images. The drama of the clouds along with the lightning is always quite exhilarating! The power of mother nature. God's power! There is so much more to see when you're able to capture a moment in time and really see what was going on in that particular slice of time! As I remember while capturing these images, the thunder just enhances this instant in time!

An edit on an image I took during warmer days. This is the Vedauwoo area of the Medicine Bow National Forest, a few miles up the road from my house. Fall colors are some of my favorites. And the rock formations are pretty cool here. Thinking of warmer days to come!

I did a different post process on one of my landscape images. Trying to create a vintage style look. It's different but I like the look of it! Looking at the West Elks from the Peach Valley area.

And here I have some macro work to show. Another arena of nature photography I work with off and on. I took this with a 100mm macro lens and cropped in a bit.

This is my B&W version of the trail and creek going up to Hanging Lake In Glenwood Canyon along I-70 in western Colorado. I took this image a couple of years ago, prior to the forest fires of last year.
