Kansas City Temple Sunset
This is a return visit photo. I was here the previous evening to capture the supermoon. I had elected to come back to see if I could get some other images. While I was waiting for the moon to come up, I took several photographs as the sun was setting. I remembered how nice this […]
Kansas City Temple Supermoon
This is a location that I have photographed before. This temple and others, in my view, offer pleasing architecture with excellent lighting and landscaping that is a big plus to the photographer. This has been a temple that I have wanted to try and photograph with the moon behind the Angel Moroni. Little did I […]
Sturgeon Supermoon Over Kansas City
Over the years this has been one of my more frequent shooting locations. I like the reflection of city lights and the moon on the Missouri River. Because Kaw Point is at the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri Rivers the river banks are extra wide allowing a greater exposure of the cityscape as it rests […]
Wave Entrance Reflection
An early morning arrival at the wave offers an excellent moment that is often unencumbered by other hikers to capture a reflection of the Southwestern mound in the draw between two mounds.
Wave Selfie
For years I wanted to visit the wave. This of course is a popular spot where individuals come to capture a selfie. So here is my selfie. The purpose of taking this selfie was to celebrate to family and friends that after my long wait to get a permit and after getting blocked from […]
The Wave Plan
After years of entering the wave lottery, I finally won a trip in November 2021. Excitedly I made the journey to Kanab in Southern Utah. The plan for the 2022 trip to Southern Utah and Northern Arizona area centered on locations nearby to my upcoming hike to the Wave. Looking at the well documented website […]
The Second Wave
A visit to the Wave should also entail a short walk up the ridge line and over to an area just to the South less than a quarter mile to the Second Wave, which is featured here. The Wave info website suggests that this location is best shot late in the day, preferably during the […]
Sunset Stepping to the White Pocket Citadel
As evening appeared, White Pocket began the nightly tonal transition from bright sunlight through golden and blue light to nighttime. This image was taken at that special transition of refracted light from the last remaining sunset bouncing off of Altocumulus mid-level clouds that caused the slight reddish tone of the sand on the right of […]
Edmaier’s Secret Turret
I had packet up my camera gear and was heading out of Edmaier’s Secret after finding fresh mountain lion tracks in the smoothed wet sand, when I came across this formation. Since my whole purpose of this visit was to recon the area for a future shooting visit, tune up my shooting skills for the upcoming […]
The Unimaginable White Pocket
This was a location I have longed to visit. When I found that I had won the online lottery to hike the wave, I decided that I should try and visit White Pocket, since the entrance onto the road is just South of the Wire Pass Trailhead on House Rock Valley Road as shown below. […]
