Snowscape

Winter photography offers both challenges and opportunities that don't exist in the other seasons.  What would have been an otherwise uninteresting row of rocks along the riverbank becomes a study in textures and shadows when covered with snow.

The surface of the snow, after a number of sunny days and very cold nights, has many flat crystaline shapes which reflect the sun.

This shot was taken while snowshoeing along Anthracite Creek near Erickson Springs, between the Paonia dam and Kebler Pass in western Colorado.

My photography career takes another leap forward with an online gallery at the mountain travel site Rockies.com. Right now they're building their new site at coorsfield.com.

Not only do I hope they send some traffic my way, but their link to my site should improve its credibility with search engines - something I need to build traffic.

My Web Presence

Still trying to determine the role that each of my various web entities will play and how they relate to one another.

The first blog, Colorado-Wilderness, is going to adopt a travel-focus, mostly on hiking and camping in the wilderness and backcountry of Colorado. There are plenty of vacation and tourism sites on the web, and I've no illusion of competing with them. However, I think I can carve out a niche for those who seek adventure travel and the lesser-known and lesser-traveled, but equally gorgeous scenery. For those who don't go venture into the wilderness as often as I do, I'm creating posts with tips on packing, eating, and other advice helpful in making for a positive backcountry experience.

Meanwhile, I hope to put most of my energy into my website, Best-Landscape-Photography. That's where I'll showcase my best landscape and nature photographs in my photo gallery, offer tips and techniques on composition, light, and other aspects of nature photography, tell you how you can sell your photographs, let visitors post equipment reviews, and more things related to photography in general.

As for my CafePress stores, like Colorado-Flower, where you can purchase t-shirts, mugs, and other gifts with my great columbine photo, and I-Love-Horses, where I joke that I "sell horse shit," I think I can incorporate these into the blogs and web site.

Best Landscape Photography

After years of critical acclaim for my incredible landscape photography, I'm pleased to announce that I finally set up my own web site.

Best-Landscape-Photography.com is more than a showcase for my landscape images. I'll also share my secrets for great composition, and have other tips and techniques for anyone wanting to improve their own photographic skills.
