UPDATE - 5/14/2013

I've been out taking more photos of the owlets at Cherry Creek State Park. I finally found the other one over the weekend! I've got some good shots that I need to process and put up in the Recent Stuff gallery over the next few days.

Bio: I'm bionic and can make pizza, donuts and hummus.

Recent Stuff : I will typically put stuff up here after a shoot so people can see it before I place the images in their appropriate category or gallery.

Mile High Wildlife Photo Club 2013 : This gallery is for photographs that I have submitted into competitions at the Mile High Wildlife Photography Club's monthly contests. The competitions usually include three of the categories the club uses for their contests. These categories are: Wildlife * Wildlife is the main subject and dominates the frame. * Wildlife whose normal, everyday movements are not controlled by man and are free to roam. * No domesticated, captive, or controlled animals. Evidence of the hand of man, if any, must be secondary. Wildlife CC (Captive or Controlled) * Wildlife under controlled conditions, including, but not limited to, zoos, game farms, captives, rehab centers, and domesticated wild animals in a natural setting. * The animal(s) must be the primary focal point, and evidence of the hand of man or the controlled environment, if any, must be secondary. Wildlife IIE (In Its Environment) * Wildlife in a scenic environment where the presence of the wildlife should be minimal and small in the frame. * Wildlife whose normal, everyday movements are not controlled by man and are free to roam. * No domesticated, captive, or controlled animal. * Evidence of the hand of man, if any, must be secondary. Scenic * Scenic, geological, botanical, and meteorological subjects. * Plant life should be naturally occurring. No domesticated species. * The scenic must be the primary focal point. * Evidence of the hand of man must be minimal. * Man-made objects or wildlife are acceptable as long as they are a very minor compositional element and not a main focal point of the image. They should not distract from, or enhance, the scenic elements of the picture. * Images may be color, black-and-white, or toned (e.g., sepia). Stitched panoramas and/or HDR processing is acceptable. Open * Any nature image that does not fit into the other categories can be entered in this category. * There are no post processing restrictions for the Open category. Creativity and artistic manipulation are encouraged. * A description of what was done to the image must accompany the entry. * All components of composite images must be the original artwork of the photographer. * Images must meet the subject matter of the above categories.

Remote Controlled Airplanes : Another cool thing at Cherry Creek State Park is the model airplane airfield that is there. Located to the SSW of the park, this airfield is maintained by the Denver RC Eagles, a club for model airplane enthusiasts that was founded in 1960. On any given day you may find scale war birds, aerobatics, helicopters, ducted fan jets, electrics and turbine powered aircraft. If you are a member of the Denver RC Eagles and see a picture of your airplane here, please leave a comment telling me what you think! Also, please let me know what kind of plane it is!

Cherry Creek State Park Colorado 2012 : Cherry Creek State Park is a wonderful place that is located right smack in the middle of Denver, Colorado's southeastern suburbs. Residents of the cities of Aurora, Greenwood Village, Englewood and Centennial can find recreation and entertainment at this state park that contains a large reservoir and surrounding grasslands that include groves of deciduous trees. A myriad of birds ranging from robins, starlings and magpies to a variety of raptors can be found here as can a multitude of mammals including deer, coyotes, ground squirrels and those always interesting human beings. This is a place that I now use to practice my photography techniques, try new things and get away, even for an hour or two, from the daily grind. The character of the park changes with the seasons and one never knows what they'll encounter on a particular day.

Aurora Reservoir - Fall 2012 : Aurora Reservoir is another nice place for recreation near my house. It is owned by the city of Aurora and the reservoir is used as storage for Aurora water. Interestingly, this reservoir has no inlet stream to it; it is filled by water that is piped in from other sources. That being said, it is home to a nice swim beach, picnic shelters, and bicycle paths. No motorized boats are allowed on the reservoir, but fishing boats with electric trolling motors are allowed as are sailboats, canoes and the like. The reservoir is stocked with fish and the surrounding area is home to a variety of birds, mammals and reptiles including the Western Diamondback rattlesnake.

Alaska 2012 : This gallery contains pictures from the vacation to Alaska that I took with my parents and sister in July 2012. Our journey took us from Fairbanks, through Denali National Park, and on to Whittier where we boarded the cruise ship Princess Sapphire. From there we sailed the inner passage going to the Hubbard Glacier, Glacier Bay, Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan and finished in Vancouver. Two weeks of great sights and adventures!

Raptor Shoot - November 2012 : Pictures from my second raptor workshop. The birds featured in this workshop included a Great Horned Owl, a Red-Tailed Hawk, a Goshawk, an American Kestrel and a Peregrine Falcon. The day featured poor lighting that would swing from dark to really dark. However, the light snowfall we had provided some cool photo opportunities.

Elk Rut 2012 - Rocky Mountain National Park : These pictures were taken at Rocky Mountain National Park during the 2012 Elk Rut. All shots were taken with a Nikon D3100 and a Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 lens. These were the first shots I took with that lens, and therefore I was still in the learning process with it. Unfortunately, I didn't have the Vibration Reduction turned on during this whole shoot, so I'm missing the tack sharp focus that I wanted. There are still some good shots though!
