This is probably my favorite photograph of Butte that I’ve taken. And, it’s one of the first I ever took. It was November of 2005. I was home from college for the weekend and drove up Main Street. At that point, I really wasn’t that familiar with uptown Butte. Sure I had lived there since …
The Lexington has a stunning mountainous background, not to mention the bounced colors from the sunrise to the East (this is showing to the West).
Something strange happened to me this morning. I was wide awake at sunrise and had this strange urge to actually get up! If there’s one thing I like, it’s my sleep. I need 8 hours or I’m a zombie. I’d rather come to work late and stay late then come early. But to the point. …
The Bell Diamond Mine is one of my favorite mines to photograph. It’s easy to access, scenic and has the look of a remote place. Things have changed in the past few months. The dirt road is now paved and even has lines. This is great for tourism, but not quite as great for photographs. …
Montana has amazing rainbows. I’ve never seen anything like it anywhere else. It seems like 50% of the times it rains there is a rainbow, and half of those have double rainbows (note: these statistics are completely and totally made up, it’s just my opinion, not scientific). While this photo only has one rainbow in …
Once again, my favorite and most common place to shoot didn’t disappoint me! The bell diamond looked beautiful with a moon ring of ice crystals around it. Supposedly it can signify bad weather coming. I would explain but I don’t totally get it. Read this link to find out more about it. Also, there’s a …
It was a struggle for me to figure out a unique angle to photograph the Bell Diamond Mine. Why? Because I photograph it ALL the time! I stuck my camera through the fence for the wide-angle and low shot. The sun was coming from the East, which back lit this photograph beautifully. It has this …
Brrrrrr….I should have had my hobo mittens with me while taking these photos. There was a chilly wind. I used my flash off-camera to light up the footprints.
This was my attempt at recreating my Belmont Rain Reflection photo. I want to recreate the photo so I can print it larger than what my old file is capable of. This was an unsuccessful attempt. This is a piece of glass on an easel outside. I layered a coat of glycerin on the glass …
It was around 4:15 pm when I took this dramatic photo of the Original Mine. The sun was low and back lit the head frame, causing the long, dark shadows. The white snow is a good contrast to the dark shadows, versus the normally gray grass.
