Black and white photography

For the birds

Birds sheltering in a tree on a snowy evening at Standley Lake make for a mysterious mood

Roxborough intensity

Early morning light hits one of the major formations in Roxborough state park, I went here on a short photohike with my friend Dan Orcutt. I loved the extreme contrast between the shade in the foreground and the very intense light on the rock. Nikon Z7, Nikon 24-85 mm f/3.5-4.5 at 80 mm, 1/80s at f/16, ISO 100

Sheltered

The False Kiva archeological site is very protected from view. You will only discover this after you scale a rock bench just on the right hand side of this picture. This place has unfortunately been discovered recently and the trail to it is turning into a highway. I return to it about once a year and took a different approach to photographing it and used a panoramic projection. Nikon D600, Nikon 14-24 mm f/2.8 at 14 mm, 1/30 s, f/16, ISO 100.
