Adelmann Mine, Idaho
I had an opportunity to join Jim from http://improvephotography.com and Darren from http://shootboise.com last night on a midnight hike to an old abandoned mine outside of Boise, Idaho. The hike in and out is VERY steep, but completely worth it to get a shot like this: The weather was perfect, with clear skies and excellent…

Horseshoe Bend, Page, AZ
The Colorado River runs nearly 1500 miles from the northern part of Colorado down to Baja California, and is one of the major rivers on the western half of the US. Near the northern border of Arizona just outside the city of Page, the river makes a 270º meander that will eventually form an oxbow…

Hiking With The Scouts To Shirts Lake
This past weekend I had the opportunity to hike with my scout troop to an amazing place: Shirts Lake. Located to the southwest of Cascade in southwest Idaho, this is a fantastic location to get away for an overnight camp. Link to Shirts Lake on Google Maps Well, it’s fantastic if you are in pretty…

Jump Creek Falls
With Christine out of town and me staring down the jaws of an entire Saturday with nothing on the calendar (can you believe it?), today we decided to hop in the car and go have an adventure! Ever since I went camping a few years ago with our scout troop to Jump Creek, I’ve wanted to…

Malad Gorge State Park
On the way back from a visit to UT this weekend, we stopped at Malad Gorge State Park in Idaho. This is one of the 5 units of the Thousand Springs State Park system, and is AMAZING. For starters, the gorge is literally right under the freeway, and they have a footbridge that spans the…

Water
Water is fascinating. Especially when photographed. At high speed. I’ve always wanted to create some shots of water droplets as they hit the surface of a pool of water. I’ve seen many similar shots over the years, and wondered how it was done. A water drop hitting the surface, creating a splash, and dissipating into the…

Frozen Fog
The last few weeks have been very cold here in Idaho. The highs have been in the low 20’s or teens, and it has dipped below zero several nights. This morning we awoke to discover that a thick fog had rolled through in the night, blanketing everything with nearly an inch of frost. I grabbed…

Fire In The Sky
I’ve been improving my timelapse photography skills, and this evening’s sky provided a wonderful opportunity to practice a little more. This sunset is somewhat deceptive, as it appeared that the sun would just hide behind some clouds as it set. However, just as it crossed the horizon, a gap opened in the clouds and almost…

Just Another Boise Sunset
I don’t believe I’ve ever lived anywhere that provided such gorgeous sunsets nearly every day. This evening I missed the best part of the sun setting, but managed to grab a timelapse of just after the sun went down and the sky began to fade. I created this using the built-in intervalometer provided by Magic…
