Welcome to my photo gallery!
Photography is one of my hobbies.
I use a Canon Digital Rebel 6.3 megapixel camera to take shots of just
about anything. In August this year my family and I went to the Northern
coast of California. I took a lot of shots with the Canon and we are very
happy with the quality of the pictures.
Here are some of my better shots from California as well as photos I've
taken here at home in Colorado.

Another shot of the sunset at Glass Beach.

I caught this bee pollenating a thistle at a State Park North of Ft. Bragg.
|
This squirrel was pretty tame and accepted a pretzel from us.
|
This starfish was on a rock on the beach accross the road from our hotel
in Ft. Bragg.
|
This Robin was sitting in a Locus tree in my back yard.
|
A while back we had some bees take up residence in our recycling container.
A large swarm of them gathered inside. We opened up the lid and I took this
photo. (No we didn't get stung... the bees didn't seem bothered by our presence!)

This is a view of Mt. Meeker, Longs Peak, and the Twin Sisters viewed looking
accross Macintosh Lake here in Longmont. More of the mountains of the Front Range
are on the left.

A shot of Mt. Meeker through the trees of the Twin Peaks Golf Course near my house.

Mt. Meeker, Longs Peak, and the Twin Sisters viewed from the golf course.
|
This was a sight to see. The sun was coming up at the same time as the moon was
setting. Mt Meeker was bathed in orange brilliance for a few minutes as the
sun poked up above the Eastern horizon. The effect only lasts for 10
minutes or so.
|
A closeup of the moon setting behind the Twin Sisters. This was taken a
few minutes after the photo above. Notice that the moon has dropped down
closer to the mountains, and that the rising sun is now illuminating the
tops of the Twin Sisters peaks which are lower than Mt. Meeker.

Stereo 3-D photo of trees on the St. Vrain river here in Longmont.
This image requires 3-D glasses to see the effect (left lens red, right lens blue).
I created this image by taking two pictures separated by 2.5 inches. I brought
them both into Photoshop Elements and converted them to grayscale. The left
image I made red, the right image I made blue-green, then I added them together.
|
After a big snow in March I took this shot of snow-covered trees with
the sun behind them. The sky was cloudy so the sun shows through as a
fuzzy orange blaze.
|
Another shot of snow-covered trees from the same storm.
|
This is a shot of a Poplar tree on the golf course near my house in
January when it had no leaves. I think the white of the tree against the
deep blue Colorado sky is a nice effect. Note also that the sky is a deep
blue at the top, and gets lighter as you go down.
