Silent TransitionPosted by admin on July 31st, 2008

A storm was rolling through on this particular evening and I headed out to Boyer Chute National Wildlife Refuge to setup a prairie/sky shot. I found this interesting tree stump instead and used it to anchor the scene with the sky.

Someday we’ll find it…Posted by admin on July 30th, 2008

This is the last photograph that was taken during the storm near Herman, Nebraska. In this image, I offsetted the rainbow in the distance with the fence in the foreground. I also captured a bit of the reflection of the rainbow in the rain water in the fields.

Unordinary WorldPosted by admin on July 29th, 2008

This summer Nebraska has had some spectacular boomers. This was an image I actually captured in early June as one rolled through. I drove up to Herman, Nebraska in order to capture what I though was the most intense part of the storm (from a distance) only to find out that it had been pretty intense in Omaha. This image was taken after the “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” photograph previously. I will post one more photo from this evening.

Technical Details:
Canon 5d, 17-40 f/4l @ 19mm, f/13, 4 sec., 2-stop hard ND Grad

Lily in BloomPosted by admin on July 28th, 2008

It has been a while since I done any photography at the OPPD Arboretum so I went there last week on an overcast day to see what I find. The lilies in the small pond looked particularly pertty in bloom so I grabbed a couple of images.

Technical Details:

Short RestPosted by admin on July 24th, 2008

Last evening I went to DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge hoping for a good sunset. I carefully scouted a location at the edge of a pond with a ton of lily pads with some blooming. While I waited I pulled out my 300 lens and started to focus on some of the patterns around the lake. This little guy showed up while I was working on this particular bud and I worked him into the scene. The sunset never came and the evening remained overcast the entire time. Great light for something like this.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow…Posted by admin on July 23rd, 2008

One thing that Nebraska has had this year is some spectacular storms. This has led to some pretty awesome sunsets. This evening I traveled north to Herman, Nebraska as this was the path of the storm, not knowing it was going to hit Omaha equally as hard. I witnessed this rainbow, and you can make out a bit of the double rainbow, right after the hard rain.

Technical Details:
