Moraine Park - RMNP

Moraine Park is a wide valley that was carved by glaciers ages ago which supports abundant wildlife including herds of elk in addition to a river running through. The valley is surrounded by the dramatic peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park.

Happy Fall Equinox! While it's been hot here in the SF Bay Area, I'm looking forward to the cool mornings of Fall and colorful foliage in the coming months.

Thoughts on photographing Mariposa Grove (Yosemite)? I'm going to a wedding in Oakhurst this fall and thought I might shoot the sequoias for my upcoming photo book.

Looks like @mattpaynephoto.bsky.social is crushing it on Kickstarter after just a few days. $350 left go before it reaches the goal.

Thanks Bob. I agree. The tour group shows up at the last minute then walks around the fenced off area in front of my face then went down the hill. As soon as Sun comes above horizon they proceed to pack up and leave.

Hot Creek - Eastern Sierra

Used my 70-200mm to zoom past the tour group who went around the fenced off area and into my frame.

The light is more contrasty than what I would typically shoot but I thought this overall scene looked interesting.

Thanks Matt! Lot of thunderstorm cloud build up, and got some clearing at sunset. Rained a little bit right before this.

I’m thrilled to announce that my book, The Colorado Way, is launching soon on Kickstarter. This project has been years in the making. It is a personal collection of essays and photographs drawn from my 500-mile hike of the Colorado Trail and a lifetime of climbing Colorado’s 100 highest mountains.

I have no idea. I just see pretty pictures and point the camera. 🤣

I recently went on a morning hike on the Devil's Slide Trail just south of Pacifica. This used to be Highway 1 until 2013 when it was permanently shut down due to persistent landslides. Now there is a tunnel route that bypasses this section.
