Old Way Round motorcycle trip: Top 10 photos

Feb. 27, 2013

Here are my ten favorite photos from my 2011 Old West themed motorcycle trip with my chum Ben, in no particular order.  Ben's blog about the trip, Old Way Round, has the story.  I have the rest of the photos from the trip posted here.

It was beautiful riding in Montana.
Hole in the Wall Canyon, WY, was gorgeous.  We camped out here.  I like the shadows in this photo.
This photo from my sleeping back still chokes me up.
The focus here is far from sharp, but I don't care. It seems to add to the mood and I do love this photo of Ben.
We're riding out from Hole in the Wall. A great windy, dusty road through the bluffs.
Okay, I just get a kick out of this one (no pun intended). What happens when I bust down this door in St Elmo, CO? Ben took this pic. 

Who isn't a sucker for a ghost town in sepia tone?
Such interesting geography in Utah
The lightning, cloud edge, and campfire glow make this one of my favorites.
Ben and I at the Bullock Hotel in Deadwood, SD. I like the composition of this photo, not to mention how bad-ass we look.

Sunset and fog over Vancouver, BC

Feb. 19, 2013

I took these photos from the ridge west of Buntzen Lake, overlooking Vancouver BC and Burrard Inlet.  Several friends and I were on an intrepid dayhike and found ourselves on the ridge at sunset (which was great for photography but bad for hiking back in the dark).  The fog in the lowlands beautifully obscured the city, and created a real sense of drama and distance.  One can see the mountains of Vancouver Island in the distance, over the fog-shrouded Strait of Georgia.

Alaska road trip: Panorama photos

Feb. 16, 2013

Here are a few stiched panoramas from the 2012 Alaska trip.  I used Microsoft ICE to combine the photos.

A 180-degree panorama of the harbor in Whittier, AK.  It is a composite of 6 images.

River valley flanked by mountains in Denali National Park, AK.  It is a composite of 5 images.

The same valley with a closer look at the range on the west side.  Composite of 5 images.

Alaska road trip: Top 10 photos

Feb. 14, 2013

In May 2012, Nate and Gunnhild Bremer and I hit the road from Langley, BC, on a three-week trip to Alaska and back.  We camped out the whole way, including a backpacking trip in Denali National Park.  Here are my 10 favorite photos from that trip.  I posted the whole set here.

A willow in the Yukon.  I was enjoying my new Canon EF L-lens.

Some peaks in the St Elias range in the Yukon.

Some windsurfers at Turnagain Arm off the Kenai peninsula.

The willow ptarmigan is Alaska's state bird.  I like how the wings turned out in the photo.

One of our camps in Denali National Park

A shrike looking cute in hopes of getting some food.

This black bear was the best, swaying 30 feet in the air eating buds off the cedar trees.

Aww, a baby mountain goat in Jasper, Alberta.

Encountering this big-horned sheep in Alberta was a treat.

This isn't my favorite photograph, but seeing these two grizzlies playing in Jasper was an amazing experience.
