After the storm - Badlands
Badlands National Park in South Dakota after a storm had moved through the area.
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.
Evening Fog
During a trip to Chapman State Park in Clarendon, PA I found myself walking near the lake during sunset. As the fog started to roll in, I found myself standing there with my camera, and what I thought was the wrong lens. I had my Tamron 150-600mm lens which I typically reserve for wildlife photography on my Canon 5D Mark IV. I ended up using that lens with a very high ISO to capture this mysterious and dramatic image.
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.
1955 Ford - Morning Fog
This is not my usual photography subject, but I saw this truck while at Kinzua State Park in Pennsylvania and immediately had this image in mind. The morning was foggy and the blue of the truck was the standing out against the orange glow of the fog. The image was edited in Photoshop to remove the other colors from the scene.
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.
Fort Zachary Taylor
Cannon balls stacked against the side of Fort Zachary Taylor. The wall has started to show its age with the bricks showing through.
Cannon Corridor
A row of cannons seen at Fort Zachary Taylor in Key West.
Steps of Time
While walking near Chillicothe, Illinois, we found these old iron steps that had been overcome by the trees and years of growth. Some of the trees have bricks inside embedded within them.
Snowy Day
These two trees are usually in the middle of a marsh. However, on this day, Banner Marsh (near Canton, IL) was frozen and the falling snow made for an amazing backdrop and ground cover.
Lost Bobber
A bobber hanging in dead tree.
Moon Into Dust
A wispy cloud floated by the moon as I was taking this image. It was so perfect that I kept it as my only keeper from that nights photos.
Cadillac Ranch
A row of painted Cadillac cars buried in a farmer's field in Amarillo Texas. The reflections from the recent rain gives this image a unique look compared to others.
