INCOMING!

The past couple of weeks have been crazy. My thoughts have been scattered and it has been hard to focus. I picked up the camera and hit the west side today. It was a quick trip but a must. I drove the dirt roads and let my mind wander. I had my cam in hand and the windows cracked. NOTHING! I parked the car and zoned out ...

My patience paid off and a few birds came within a hundred yards. I had my 100-400mm opened up and I was limited. I felt like my arms had been cut off. My shutter speeds were not quick enough. I tried bumping up my ISO but when I am out birding I hate to go above 400. I did my best to capture some beautiful birds.
I watched a Harrier drop in on a rodent. His beak tore through the flesh with ease and I was disapointed that I could not get the position to nail the shot.

The afternoon trip was soothing. I came away with more clarity and learned a thing or two. Thanks for the pointers "Thresher". I definitly need to add the 1.7x to the wish list and I can't wait to try the 300/f2.8. Let's get out soon!

Highlights of the day...







It is time to go fishing!

Thanks for the spotlight!

Happy New Year From The SLC!

With all the snow this past couple weeks I have not been on the water. I have been spending a lot of time behind the lens and taking advantage of some nice winter shots around town.
While these photos are not fly fishing related I thought I would share a couple with everyone and wish you all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009! Let's hope it is as great as 2008 or better!

Catching Up Over The Holiday

The holiday season has kept me very busy with portraits and writing. Late nights and early mornings are the only way to keep up with pulling images off the cameras and having any time to do any kind of post processing.

Fishing with Jason & Scott was good times for sure. Scott needs to get out to Utah more!

I hope you enjoy some of the latest.

Bear Lake was awesome this year:

Rainbow Flash - The Art of Fly Tying Materials

The past couple of weeks I have been experimenting with "Reverse Macro". I have spent some time shooting a series featuring fly tying materials. In this set I shot Crystal Flash hung from my light box. I really enjoyed the colors and I hope you do as well. This set of three are my favorites.



These photographs will look good blown up and added to the wall in the fly tying dungeon.



It took time to mix and match the colors to come up with a "Rainbow Trout" feel. I have a lot of fun exploring new techniques with Reverse Macro.

Fly Rod & Brown Pics

I just got done fighting the Flu! I do not wish that upon anyone. It ripped through my family. As quick as it came it is now gone and I feel like I can finally sit down and focus a bit. I put together some more photos tonight of some of the Brown shots I got. I hope you enjoy them. I really like the shot of the fly rod on the rocks. The stones turned out really neat in the frame.
