After the storm - Badlands
Badlands National Park in South Dakota after a storm had moved through the area.
Where the road may lead.
Instead of wondering what is around the corner, remember to slow down and enjoy the view from where you are for a while. Sideling Hill Welcome Center Hancock, MD
Forest Fog
This image was captured at Chapman State Park in Pennsylvania. The sun was quickly setting and I was running out of light. I only had my Tamron Sp 150-600MM f/5-6.3 Di VC USD lens attached to my Canon 5D Mk IV. This is absolutely not a landscape lens. I managed to get this shot as the sun completely dissapeared behind the mountains. This image won 1st place in the 2018 Forest Park Nature Center photo contest for the landscape category.
Stand Out
While hiking at Marilla Reservoir in Bradford, PA during a foggy morning sunrise I noticed this solo tree across the lake. The golden leaves were such a strong contrast against the dark green evergreens.
Lioness
A lioness photographed at the St. Louis zoo.
Stalagmites in Color
This image was captured while exploring the Cathedral Caverns in Northern Alabama.
Shade Tree - Badlands
Throughout the Badlands of South Dakota, you would have a hard time finding shade. When you do, it is often in the form of a single tree standing tall in the middle of a wind swept field.
Whiskers
A creative approach to photographing a tiger at the Peoria Zoo. I love the colors of the tigers, but I wanted to show more than orange, white and black strips. I felt that showing the tigers face in black & white would allow the viewers to see the emotions of the tiger.
Opposum Sunset
Whie walking at Dixon Waterfowl Refuge, my wife noticed this opposum in a tree. He was holding perfect still and almost seemed as though he was enjoying the sunset with us.
Yellow in Blue
I was walking through Banner Marsh near Canton Illinois on a late fall morning. The fog was very thick and I was hoping for some wildlife shots. Instead, I was surprised by this little burst of color in what an otherwise very dull scene.
