Where did all the storms go?! Hot days and blue skies, blah. I guess I'll have more time to edit some shots.
Awesome discovery along a secret route; an old truck perfectly positioned next to an old windmill. Amazing foreground for storms!
I don't think I will ever get tired of photographing lightning.
Wall cloud and bolt from a tornado warned storm near Merino Colorado.
The Vault. The leading edge of the updraft flowing into a supercell over the High Plains of Colorado. June 22nd, 2026.
Caught some amazing lightning over the past few days, including a few really close bolts! I was exposed for the wall cloud on this tornado warned storm when my lightning trigger captured this beauty!
Took my first lightning shots of the year on Saturday! Great little local chase around Colorado and Kansas. Caught this huge spider-web bolt just south of Goodland.
I miss lightning. One of the +100 photos from this storm that I have yet to share. 2024.6.6 - Storm over North Platte Nebraska, photographed from nearly 60 miles away.
I intentionally took this photo with focus on the ancient ruins and blurring the background of the Milky Way. During this lucky shot, a meteorite streaked across the sky. Painted Hand Pueblo, Canyons of the Ancients National Monument. Focus
Ruins of an ancient Puebloan granary. Mule Canyon, Bears Ears National Monument, Utah. House on Fire
In October, I shot my first ever desert lightning bolts. Because it was at night, I really couldn't do much for the composition. It was still a really fun and unexpected capture. Near Natural Bridges National Monument, Utah.
Struggled editing this one; so this is what I'm going with for now. I was shooting in sub-optimal lighting conditions. Eventually, I'll need to return and give this another try. Zamara, Colorado
Located in Stonewall Gap Colorado, sitting a few feet from the road and flanked by a tall spine of rock, this old Chevy Deluxe sits beside a house. Its brilliant blue made it an easy find and a great photo.
Near perfect setting for an abandoned truck; almost like it was left there and waiting just for me to find. I have worked several edits of this shot, but I think this more natural tone is my current favorite.
The Model General Store I was surprised to find someone was living here. As I approached for the shot, several dogs ran up in defense of the property. Though they were all friendly, a skinny, lengthy figure shouted apologies from a doorway. "Sorry Dude", said the man. (Continued ⬇️)
Some of the old houses still remaining in the nearly abandoned town of Model, CO. Red House & Blue House
Landscape photography is definitely not my strongpoint, but I do enjoy it. Cloudy Fall afternoon in La Veta Colorado.
Happy Friday! I'll go into more detail about this shot in another week or two. Great story behind the owner!
I will always love minimalist style photography. Making the viewer and the subject seem like they are alone in the world. Tyrone Colorado
My favorite shot from last week's Aurora. Simple and to the point. Prairie Fire
Shot from Tuesday night. Even with the intense floodlights on an airport tarmac, the aurora was still visible!
Dusty's As an avid Twister fan, I can only assume this place was awesome.
Over the next few weeks I'll be posting photos from a recent trip to southern CO and UT. Lots of landscapes, abandoned buildings, old vehicles, ancient Puebloan structures, astrophotography, and a little lightning. The Doll House - Dark Canyon Wilderness - Bears Ears National Monument
