Sunrise or Moonrise?

A short movie I made at a bonfire.

A Closer Look at The Backyard

Macro photography is fun, you don't need to drive anywhere to get cool photos. If you have a large yard you could spend hours looking at everything closer than you normally would.

Spider

Some macro shots of a spider on my garbage can from a few days ago. I used my 50mm f/1.4 with a macro extension tube and am pretty happy with the results. If I remember correctly I set the aperture to f/11 or so and used the flash. That's the one thing I don't like about the extension tube, you have to set the aperture on the lens, then while holding the depth of field preview button you remove the lens and attach it to the extension tube. I can't wait to get a real macro lens but for now this will do. #spider #macro

Alta Ski Area

A few pictures around the Alta area.

The Return To Bell Canyon

The weather up in the mountains looked great but by the time I hiked up to the reservoir most of the cool looking clouds were gone. It was still a nice day so I hiked around the lake a bit then hiked up past the lake before turning back due to snow.

Another Time Lapse

A short time lapse I shot between trails Saturday afternoon. This is one photo every five seconds for a few minutes and it plays at 24 frames (photos) per second.

Hiking in Utah

I visited three trail heads today. One was short so I got to the waterfall at the end, the other two are much longer trails but weather and daylight made me turn back on the other two trails. These are HDR photos. I probably overdo it with HDR but for most images it looks great.
