BDP is back! This is a re-shoot of my past train tracks post from a few years ago (you can see that photo here). The re-shoot is for the cover of MNews, Montana Tech’s alumni publication. The reason for the re-shoot wasn’t because the original photo was bad, it was actually one of my most …
I was driving down from near the Mt. Con Mine (top of Main Street) and saw a nice view of the city. I put my parking break on, jumped out and flashed the foreground with my flash.
It’s definitely worth clicking on the image to see the bigger version of the photo. This photo was meant for two nights ago, but I didn’t have the time to stitch the photos together in Photoshop, so I used a different shot from that night (at the same location). Thanks, Marcus, for standing out in …
This is a fairly new building on Porphry and Idaho Streets, near the hospital. I didn’t see any sort of sign as to what it is for. But I do know that it was freezing outside…Negative whatever and only getting colder!
This is a photo of Shorty’s Bar with a slow shutter speed and moving the camera to create an abstract blur.
I spent my Friday night up at my studio until 2 a.m. reorganizing things for a portrait session I have on Sunday. Then I woke up at 6 a.m. for sunrise photos. Well, there wasn’t a spectacular sunrise. The sky was covered in clouds, with nowhere for the sun to shine through and create a …
This is a panoramic shot of Butte, taken from the road up to the Big M. I took 8 vertical photos and stitched them together in Photoshop, so there is a tremendous amount of detail in the original file…not on the web version though. It goes all the way from Walkerville (left) to the edge …
This photo is of the train tracks that cross Meadowlark, near A&S Metals. It was a 2 1/2 minute exposure. And it was pretty cold outside. I lost one of my gloves so I haven’t been wearing them. I need to reinvest.
I have a portable power pack for my studio lights, and decided to finally test it out tonight. It lit up the machinery next to the Bell Diamond Mine all right, but not as much as I’d hoped. I set it off at full power four times during the 30-second exposure, and probably should have …
It’s been a while since I photographed traffic. Here’s another perspective of I-90 looking west into Butte from the top of the Sheridan Overpass. The bridge was shaking and vibrating as vehicles drove directly under me. And the high-pitched buzzing and whooshing of semi’s traveling 75 mph was almost scary. The fence made me feel …
