The sun had set, casting its reflection upon the greatest of the lakes, the mosquitoes serenaded me and the crashing water lapped up along the rocky shore near Winthrop Harbor. After the sun has set, the lighting is perfect to create long exposures-the water was actually quite loud but by using a slow shutter speed I was able to eliminate…

When the sun sets with clouds in the sky, the colors it leaves in its wake are often more spectacular than the sunset itself. Often I find that after the sun has sunk below the horizon the magic in the sky really starts to happen. I was in the Badlands for an evening of shooting. These colors that emerged post…

A long exposure was used to allow time for the clouds to show their movement as they passed by the still, rugged landscape, ever observing the changes of the sky. Pure poetry!

A crisp morning during the Black Hills Stock Show, back in February, as the rough stock awaited their rodeo appearance. To create backlighting in a photograph, one needs to face the sun. I also moved my position to a higher vantage point by sitting on top of the corral panels. Using the morning light streaming over the building and the…

This is the view from my favorite hill on the ranch, Glorious Splendor. The storm rolled by the Great Plains near Okaton, South Dakota, at sunset, releasing what meteorologists call virga, a streak of precipitation that evaporates before reaching the ground. Red tones highlight the late winter grasses as the colors in the sky explode from the setting sun reflected…

In order to see the Milky Way, one needs to be far from light pollution to allow the camera a long exposure time to fully capture the colors. Here is the Milky Way reflecting off the water of a stock dam out on the South Dakota prairie. In this photograph, I used the Sunny White Balance to allow the blue tones…

I wanted something different that highlighted the regal stature of this ram. Shifting my position so most of his body was hidden behind this section of rock, I used the land to create a more mysterious frame so the viewer focuses on his head. I like the minimal appeal this image brings. …

Cone-flowers are such joyful prairie blooms-vibrant colors that stand out among the grasses, paying tribute to their Maker. The evening started with dark clouds and scattered rain but gave way to lovely blue skies, characteristic of a peaceful summer’s day.

Seven months before, this landscape was destroyed by an accidental fire. The Yucca was crisp with no sign of life on the surface. What was unseen, the depths of the roots, had not cut of the supply of life.

:I planned an early morning shoot. The barn faces the south and I was hoping for some splendid clouds behind it to the west and north. I've found that when the sun is about down in the evening or just as it peaks over the horizon in the morning, the clouds in the opposite direction give a most spectacular show.…

I was given the opportunity to soar over Badlands National Park in late summer. It was incredible to view the landscape from the air with the windows open and my camera hanging out. This is my favorite image from the evening. The white tips of thin sediment were like nothing I've ever seen in the Badlands, almost like lace draped…
