The next day we drove down to Grand Staircase Escalante National Park and did the Lower Calf Creek Falls hike. It was about 7 miles round trip and a beautiful waterfall. #waterfall #landscape #nps #calfcreekfalls #naturephotography
The first clear night I headed back to Goblin Valley State Park and Moonscape Overlook for some night photography. Lots of driving and amazing! Saw one other photographer at Goblin Valley. #capitolreefnationalpark #nps #astrophotography #milkyway #nightsky
The next morning we visited Hickman Land Bridge and got some pie made from the fruit trees in the park. #nps #landscape #capitolreefnationalpark
On our way to Capitol Reef National Park, we stopped at Moonscape Overlook (my favorite) and Temple of the Sun and Moon. Will was not a fan of the very rough 17 mile road to the temple of the sun and moon. #nps #landscape #naturephotography #utah #capitolreefnationalpark
The second day in Utah I saw sunrise from the north window then we visited Corona Arch and Goblin Valley State Park. #nps #arch #lanscapephotography #sunrise
Wow, amazing photo!
Here’s my favorite shot from the first sunset in Arches during our spring break trip. #sunset #sunrays #arch #landscapephotography
Severe weather in northern Iowa and the new moon led to great conditions to go Sprite chasing close to home. My first attempt after learning from @paulmsmithphotography I was so excited to capture three different instances of sprites. #sprite #severeweather #iawx
We then walked over to the Windows (north/south) area and Will’s silhouette in the north window. #archesnationalpark #arch #nps #landscape
Finally got my spring break photos edited. Evy, Will, and I headed out to Utah to visit some parks. We spent the first night in Moab. Here is Double Arch. Easy walk for our first arch. #archesnationalpark #nps #landscapesphotography #arch
Checking out the baby Great Horned Owls and cute like usual. One of the parents was checking us out. #greathornedowl #wildlife #birds
Here’s a wall cloud that formed on the storm I was following. Followed it from just outside Ottumwa Iowa almost to Kalona Iowa. The wall cloud produced a confirmed tornado near Kalona and Riverside. #severeweather #storms #storm #iawx
Severe storms this afternoon. I hope everyone was safe. Here is the large shelf cloud that passed just north of Washington Iowa with torrential rain. #storms #iowa #severeweather
Here is a Milky Way Arch panorama over Moonscape Overlook in Capitol Reef. #capitolreefnationalpark #moonscapeoverlook #nps #milkyway #nightsky
Milky Way rising at Delicate Arch in Arches National Park. #delicatearch #arches #milkyway #stars #nightsky
I tried some different Milky Way editing techniques on this one. Angela likes it with a lot more color. #milkyway #stars #nightsky #moonscapeoverlook #capitolreefnationalpark
Star trails from the Timelapse I took at Delicate Arch. The settings are different for the Timelapse and star trails, but not enough room on the sandstone one for two setups in the location I was in. #startrails #nightsky #stars #delicatearch #archesnationalpark
A little lightning from last nights storm. #storms #lightning #severeweather
Evy, Will, and I went out to Utah for spring break. We visited Grand Staircase, Capitol Reef, and Arches National Parks. I'm slowly working through the photos but this was my absolute favorite night spot. Moonscape Overlook near Capitol Reef. #nightsky #astrophotography #stars #milkyway
Some storm photos from yesterday. The first one is of a tornado warned supercell I was following around 7pm and then some sunset photos of clouds building into towers. #storm #storms #clouds
Great Blue Heron from last fall near the reservoir. If you look closely to the left of the heron’s feet, you can see the remnants of another animal.
Eagles having an altercation last fall.
Another timelapse from November. Similar to the last one and if you look closely half way through the video, you can see white light pillars from the towns in the distance. #aurora #northernlights #lightpillars #iowa
A night back in November when the aurora was out. Not a great single shot look, but the Timelapse gives perspective of the Aurora just SW of Iowa City. #timelapse #aurora #northernlights
Reflection captures from last weekend. Calm winds and beautiful sunrise made for a good morning. #baldeagle #eagle #birds #wildlife
Last night the crescent moon with the last light of the day and storm clouds in between. #storm #sunset #moon
A vertical rainbow capture from yesterday. You can almost make out the double to the left. #rainbow #storm
Rainbow over the Mississippi River after some storms. #rainbow #storm #mississippiriver
