Church Rock
A common route taken on my annual photography trips into the Arizona and Southern Utah area is along the US Highway 160. On this particular trip the clouds were remarkably fluffy. Though I was running late, as I approached Church Rock Valley, the scenery demanded a pause to attempt to capture an image. This image […]
Kite Hill’s Cityscape
A movie favorite with my family is 10 Things I Hate About You. The movie supposedly takes place in Seattle. A previous trip to Seattle allowed me to visit the famous Fremont Troll which was used in that movie, but that was a trip without a rental car. So I only went there. The Gas Works Park […]
A Seattle Night Revealing Mt Rainier
This image is a continuation of my time at Kerry Park. Just like my earlier captured golden hour image, this composition was from that exact camera position, which offered a prominent shot of the Seattle skyline with Mount Rainier in the background above the tops of smaller buildings. From golden hour through blue hour into […]
Seattle Skyline with Mt Rainier
With my business trip ending, I took a chance to visit Kerry Park. The composition from Kerry Park would offer a prominent shot of the Seattle skyline with Mount Rainier in the background above the tops of smaller buildings. This location is referred to as the postcard shot and it is ever bit of […]
Photography Trip Planning Tools
I am enamored with the Southwest landscape, but live in Eastern Kansas, the town of Leavenworth to be exact. This of course meant, if I wanted to photograph that spectacular Southwest scenery, it would entail a 2,000 miles plus roundtrip excursion. Realizing that a trip to those scenic sites wasn’t close by to allow […]
Website Upgrade
All good things eventually result in a change. This website had to undergo this situation. While I was content using the Photography WordPress theme by Themegoods, a WordPress upgrade caused the theme to crash. The intrigue tied to using the Elementor drag and drop web creation environment to revamp the Johnson County Camera Club’s website […]
A Post Super Bowl KC Blue Hour
The Saturday evening after the Super Bowl the Kansas City lights proudly glow in red to celebrate the Chiefs achievement. This image was taken atop the National World Ward I Museum and Memorial on the Liberty Memorial Tower’s patio on the Northeast side. This was a very crowded situation with both photographers and social media […]
A Tree Frames The Cathedral
When bad weather deviated my plans to visit the Wave, I retreated South to Sedona to photograph a few locations. Taking a picture of the Cathedral Rock was one of the prime subjects I wanted to capture. Research showed that along the Upper Red Rock Loop Road there were several scenic overlooks that were popular […]
Cathedral Rock Reflection
Sunset glows on Cathedral Rock casting a beautiful reflection in a small pool of water in a depression on the slice rock. I had seen through Google searches images of the Cathedral Rock reflecting in water. Using Google Maps I attempted to locate the slick rock area where these images were from. My recon showed […]
Forever Young
This image is part of my mirror project, where I attempted to use a mirror as a prop for a portrait to meet one of the category with my photography club year end photo contest. In this case, the category was “How I see myself”. This image is a composite of two images, one of […]
