First light in the mountains is always magical!

Lines. Light. Silence.

Nice find!

Not the destination—just the light along the way that stopped me in my tracks.
Big Bend has a habit of doing that.

Driving by, this stopped me.
No movement. No noise. Just a small structure holding its place in a wide landscape.

The world (especially the US) needs less drama and more of this.

Somewhere between takeoff and landing, perspective shifts. Roads become threads. Mountains soften. Noise fades. I always sit by the window—not just for the view, but for the reminder of how small and connected everything really is.

Incredible sunset last night! Crested Butte, Colorado - 13JAN26

Morning calm and golden fire in the San Juans 🍂 🍁

A large greenish wave is breaking as it meets the beach. The exposure is slowed down so the water is smooth. There are some white areas of froth above and lines as the wave breaks, as well as on the beach in front. Behind is grey sea.

I have a few favourite wave photos, taken over the years at a few beaches in #Iceland, and this is one of them, from this day in 2021. Slowing down the exposure (this is 0.3 sec) allows you to capture some beautiful movement 🌊

Texture paradise from northern Spain…

Light breaking through a storm over the San Juans.

I was in a parking lot walking back to my vehicle when a light show opened up over the mountains. I ran over and grabbed my Z8 & 100-400 and shot away

I was hiking back from shooting sunrise and fog had developed and was actually rolling past this stand of Aspens.
It was quite magical. Colorado Fall 2025

One of those drives you don’t mind taking slow.

I had a good run with clouds for the last week or so but tonight, they have all but disappeared. A few clouds on the horizon will hopefully greet me tomorrow. Until then, I think this kinda works better without clouds.

All good comps but I like the first one the best (stream leading you into the image). It flows (pun intended) a bit more.

Love the podcast Matt….thanks for all you do! 🤙🏻

Such a cool little tree! Went out there 3 times to try to capture some fog on the lake…no luck. Next time!

Golden hour meets moonrise magic 🌅🌕⁠
As the sun dipped behind the fir & red cedar on Vancouver Island, the moon quietly rose over Buttle Lake to take its place.
