In Between by GreggB

Here is another shot of Tetons. This place isn’t far from the place I shot my last image at. I liked the trees (in the foreground) sort of surrounding the mountains and pointing towards it. This was shot way before the sunrise, so mountains haven’t been yet illuminated by the sun. Still, I think they look beautiful and very photogenic the way they are.

Sunrising Moon by GreggB

Here is one I was a bit lucky to capture, I have to admit.
I was waiting for a sunrise and the “good light”, and noticed this huge Moon setting behind the mountain. I zoomed in and shot the scene at 500mm (hence the giant size of the Moon’s surface). At first I really didn’t pay attention to the Moon because it was too high and too small, and I was after the entire mountain range, not just a fragment of it. But, with the Moon low and giant in size, and with some orang-y color in the mountain peaks the scene became more appealing to me. Now I think it’s a great shot 🙂

Grand But Cold Morning by GreggB

Grand But Cold Morning.
Once in a while I get lucky, as we all do, and I manage to capture some amazing light. That’s what photography is all about after all, capturing the light. Right?
The light you see on the image below lasted for just a few minutes but that’s all I needed, though I waited for it at least a half an hour. With temperature outside hovering around -30F (or -34.4C) I seriously had enough 🙂 Being from Souther CA, I wasn’t really prepared/ready for that much of a temperature drop. It’s just 2 hours flight time!
But, I did capture this place just the way I imagined/wanted. I explored this location a couple of times before and found my composition first (two days prior to the day I took this shot on. This was my first trip to Grand Teton NP so I had no idea this location even existed) and I came one morning, set my tripod up, and waited for the results you now see. I don’t know about you guys but I personally am very happy from what I got 🙂
This shot will be printed, large!
Enjoy

Oneonta Gorge by GreggB

Here is my capture of the Oneonta Gorge, Oregon. This images is a blend of just couple of shots exposed for brights and darks, that’s it. To make the moss pop I used Nik Color Efex Pro, so nothing fancy or overcomplicated

Moss Covered by GreggB

I took this shot in a horrible weather conditions. It’s hard to see but there is a lot of moisture in the air coming from the waterfall. On the top of that, the rain was poring and wind blowing making impossible to shoot. I had to wipe out my polarizer just about a million times to get something usable. The image maybe OK at this resolution but I will have to retake it to get something I can print.
Anyway, I wanted to show you how beautiful this place looks, even in this bad weather condition.
