Some little guys and aura farmers from the past few weeks (A7R6, 100-400mm)

Spent a ton of time climbing, hiking, and photographing the san juans this past weekend from the ridges around sneffels and above island/ice lake, to boulders in bolam pass, and so on.

Had hoped for a good sunrise but they were cloudless and harsh, but pre sunrise is where the landscapes showed off! Some complimentary pika pics as well.

A few from this weekend—soon my X2D2 will be all white from the inevitable dinks and scratches it gets while I haul it climbing, hiking, snowboarding, etc…

A bighorn sheep duo after my climbing session last night ended early due to some nice alpine downpour and lightning. I paid them to model for me, btw.

A mountain goat surveys the land after sunrise this morning, near Mount Blue Sky’s summit in Colorado.

(Used the A7R6 and the new 100-400mm)

Some wildflowers and water from around Colorado!

Why does no one love me?

Took a quick day and a half trip to Wyoming from CO—I’ll be back soon!

Mohawk aura?

Happened to have my camera on me at the gym, wish I’d gone out to the mountains instead!

Sorry losers there’s no bokeh left, I used it all

If I go out intentionally looking for birds, it’s a law of nature that I will only see ravens/crows—I still can’t tell them apart, of course. At least they tend to aura farm.

The half blind one is pretty hardcore—part of a herd of 100 or so from yesterday in the alpine.

Fun repeat of the Kind (my favorite v5 in CO) today to cope with a boring sunrise

Hopefully I’ll be back for Fall!

I had just gotten my first camera (last year) and didn’t know what the exposure triangle was, or really even how to autofocus. I had a 50-140 on my Fuji and heavily cropped in. Thousands of miles of hiking and climbing since and I think this stole all my luck!

If I ever get another chance I’ll nail focus with better gear…

Shots from 3 consecutive days in Switzerland and Italy: I appreciate Fuji bodies and SOOC recipes more when I’m away from home and can’t edit shots from another camera.

Colorado’s great sand dunes are a few hours from me, and can be experienced in so many ways—at night for astro, from the peak of a nearby 14er, during winter for mediocre snowboarding, during spring for a more traditional feet-sinking trek.

The first two shots are two of my favorites in the almost year I’ve been doing photography.
