Quinn River Sentinel Post Gallery

Slumbering Hills. I love the play of evening light and the softness due to the wavering distance. My mild attempt at expressing the light and shadow of the paintings of Maynard Dixon. One of my favorites. 1/400 sec, f/8, ISO 400; Canon 80D, 70-200mm (118mm).
Sentinel morning. First light is always fun. Seems a little unbalanced due to the dark outcrop. This is an HDR merge of two images. 1/15 sec, f/22, ISO 100; Canon 5Div, 17-40mm (38mm).
Sentinel moonset. The wide angle almost loses the moon. 1/25 sec, f/14, ISO 100; Canon 5Div, 17-40mm (17mm).
Orovada rocks. The rainbows have faded, but the post-storm show had one more curtain-call. 1/20 sec, f/14, ISO 100; Canon 5Div, 70-200mm (168mm).
Camp after rain. Our field camp in the Quinn River Valley. 0.4 sec, f/22, ISO 100; Canon 5Div, 24-70mm (55mm).
Scratched. Rock lines in the talus of Crowley Creek, the view from the Sentinel. I'm always on the lookout for animal tracks, scaled or not. 1/500 sec, f/8, ISO 400; Canon 80D, 70-200mm (168mm).
Red-winged sentinel. This noisy friend (Agelaius phoeniceus) followed me through the wetlands of Crowley Creek. 1/320 sec, f/4.5, ISO 200; Canon 80D, 70-200mm (168mm).
One. A lone sego lily (Calochortus nuttallii) in the sagebrush of Thacker Canyon. 1/1250 sec, f/5, ISO 200; Canon 80D, 24-70mm (53mm).
Camp host. A Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) at rest in the mid-day, but keeping close eye on me. 1/130 sec, f/5.6, ISO 400; Canon 80D, 70-200 mm (180mm).
