Ice Cicles

A friend of mine wanted to go shooting yesterday. We went back up into Big Cottonwood Canyon but all of the ice was gone on the falls, it only remained in small pockets along the way. We went part way up to Lake Blanch and found a little spot that was protected from the sun. I shot it and then used On One software to make it look like this. LYLE

Moulton Barn

This view of the Moulton Barn that stands on Mormon Row in front of the Grand Tetons is becoming one of my favorite shots I took while there. I really like the way the light plays on the trees in the background and the foreground is in shadow. They combine, along with the shallow ditch and tree to form very nice leading lines to direct your view to the barn.

Big Cottonwood falls detail

I really love Big Cottonwood Canyon just outside of Salt Lake City, UT. It has a very nice water flow with lots of small falls. I really like the way the fall leaves brighten up the scene.

Bull Dogging

While visiting my daughter in Twin Falls, ID we went to a rodeo. I had the opportunity of roaming the entire length of the stands and shooting the action. I think this photo really tells a story.

Parking Lot View

We pulled into a parking spot in the first parking lot we came to at Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park, this scene greeted me as I got out of the car. I couldn't pass it up. It is amazing how HDR brings out the colors in things.

Pine Cone

This pine cone was laying in about an inch of water at Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone. I thought it looked so neat and is one of only a few that I shot with a single capture.

Mammoth with a 24-70

I met a very nice photographer by the name of Ally Bain from the UK while shooting Mammoth. I had left my other lenses in my car and wanted to capture a wider view of the steps. He pulled his very nice 24-70 off of his camera and handed it to me. WOW, what a nice lens. Thanks Ally.
