Well I figure I may as well start posting one of my images 😀
And we'll begin with what I'm best known for - my photographs of Colorado sunflowers!

Welcome to the Anthracite Range in the West Elk Mountains of Colorado! 😀

You can never go wrong with the fall colors here & during summer it's wildflower heaven. Sigh....I love my state so much ❤️ #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography #Nature #Landscape #Photography #Fall #Autumn

I was wondering if your light setup was similar & now I know 👍🏽

My painting, "Two Pigeons"! I started with watercolor and colored pencil in my sketchbook and then pulled it into Procreate to finish! I'm enjoying this hybrid approach!

Photo of a first pass with watercolor in a sketchbook of two pigeons. The left one is standing tall and looking at the viewer. The right one is crouching in a borb shape and looking at the right. The background is orange.

I'm going to be honest with you Shawn.
I only ran up on your page a minute ago. I'm a nature photographer myself & your bird shots are SO GOOD that it makes me want to switch to Nikon from Sony & I've shot Minolta/Sony since 1988 lol

Smaller than the Gila woodpecker. The body is mostly white. The wings are black and white spotted. There are black stripes on the sides of the head. There are red feathers on top of the head, denoting the male of the species.

When someone reaches for the last bread stick 😉

Photographed from my kayak. #mammals 🌿

One coyote snarls at another one which rears back with a look of 'dude! chill!' against the backdrop of limestone cliffs. A black-billed magpie ignores the scene.

Hmmm. Anyone any idea why the Landscape Photography feed has stopped updating? … 🧐

That's a good question. There are several feeds with that name but the one you speak of seems to be the only one which is having problems.

This is stunning!
Look at the details in this shot. It's off the charts. That's a wall hanger 🖼

Beautiful 😍

Excuse me but HOLY SHIT! Print this! I'm serious. This may be the very best floral shot I've ever seen from you. What's your exposure on this? Your focus is just perfect. I'm floored..damn!

kkartphoto @kkartphoto.bsky.social · 1d

@alpenglowphoto.bsky.social Jay, read Meg's comments, & scroll up too. Is that how you work lighting in your shots also?

kkartphoto @kkartphoto.bsky.social · 1d

These flowers are a PITA to shoot because they are sooooooo unorganized & chaotic. They drive me up a wall lol If it's 1 or 2 flowers, fine, but when there's a bunch together, my brain goes full scramble. You did really good here 😀

The filler in a bouquet can be just as interesting as the main flowers.

That light is beautiful

kkartphoto @kkartphoto.bsky.social · 1d

We've not had our first freeze yet here in Denver (hear me knocking on wood) so I'm taking this opportunity to shoot floral & macro images of flowers while I can. I have very limited time left to do so.📸 🏵️

The beauty of twilight, night touched by day, light fading into dark, a world barely visible, glowing, a world we never imagined.....

#photography #landscapephotography #landscape #travel #nature #naturephotography #bluesky #outdoors #sunset #sunrise #adventure

The magnificent dead trees of Deadvlei contrast against a towering red dune, clothed in warm twilight that is so special in Namibia. A surreal, uniquely beautiful scene, so typical of this amazing country!

The deeply contorted lands of Namibia give rise to some truly unusual and otherworldly landscapes. This particular evening, fierce winds were blowing, and the combination of twilight and windblown dust blessed us with exceptional light, transforming these strange lands into the surreal.

The dunes in Namibia's Sossusvlei are all sand, except this one, and the beautiful interplay of the protruding rocks and textured sand comes to its full expression when clothed in dusk's soft, warm twilight.

The quality of light in Namibia is like none I have encountered anywhere else. It transforms Namibia's unique, at times surreal, landscapes into a world of dreams. A world of layers, punctuated by beautiful acacia trees, is painted in magical light which brings out the hidden, rich colors and textures of distant mountains.⁠
