Rye returns. I like the sense of scale in this image, but the foreground composition suffered from a lack of attention on my part. Neither the wild rye nor the sprinkler tell the story I'd hoped. 1/6 sec, f/14, ISO 100; Canon 6D, 17-40mm (17mm).
Playa fade. One of my favorite images. It is easy to have patience sitting on the tailgate at camp. 1/500 sec, f/4, ISO 100; Canon 6D, 17-40mm (40mm).
Receding dawn. The playa pool is almost as ephemeral as the colors of sunrise. 1/15 sec, f/8, ISO 100; Canon 6D, Sigma Art 20mm.
Trying to be tall. This small greasewood casting a grand shadow caught my attention. 1/125 sec, f/11, ISO 100; Canon 80D, 18-135mm.
Stillness. 1/500 sec, f/5.6, ISO 100; Canon 80D, 18-135mm.
Gillis Range Pano. 1/400 sec, f/9, ISO 400; Canon 80D, 18-135mm.
Standing stone. weathered plutonic rocks of Grass Valley, NV. 1/200, f8, ISO 100.
North Gills Sunset. 1/320 sec, f/9, ISO 400; Canon 80D, 18-135mm.
Rooted stone. This reminded me of the power of trees, rooted in a forest. I wandered among this odd outcrop of plutonic, granitic rocks, shooting hand-held. 1/400, f8, ISO 100.
Following. Although nowhere to be seen, a young coyote led me up the beach. 1/30 sec, f/9, ISO 400; Canon 80D, 18-135mm.
Strat texture.
Maps. With the sky a disappointment, I looked for those intimate landscapes, shapes on the ground. 1/400 sec, f/9, ISO 400; Canon 80D, 18-135mm.
Simpson Park snow. 1/2500, f4, ISO 100.
Lucky weld. Something completely different, for good luck. 1/50, f8, ISO 100.
