This is the beginning of a new project/collection of images I'm calling Byways. The images will be titled the GPS coordinates where they were captured. My idea is to create a collection of roads that are a
- [Abandoned Service Station](https://elvisrowephotography.com/abandoned-service-station/) - After exploring the Needles District of Canyonlands, the daughter and I continued driving around and exploring the Moab area. Spotted this abandoned service station at the intersection of US-191 and UT-46. Here's a link to a map of the area: Map Link

- [Canyonlands Bonsai Rock](https://elvisrowephotography.com/canyonlands-bonsai-rock/) - While pulled off to the side of the road for the picture I posted yesterday, I spotted this tree growing up and out of this huge boulder.

This is the last shot from this little back road between Monticello, Utah and Canyonlands National Park. Will have some of Utah State Route 211 soon (Google Map).

- [37°52'11" N 109°24'10" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/375211-n-1092410-w/) - After a good night's sleep and a proper breakfast, it was time to head out to the Needles section of Canyonlands National Park. Instead of driving north on US-191 out of Monticello I opted to drive west along a series of back roads that would make the trip out to Canyonlands much quicker. Of course
- [38°38'54" N 109°43'60" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/383854-n-1094360-w/) - Third and final shot from along the gateway to the Island in the Sky section of Canyonlands National Park just outside of Moab (Google Map).

- [38°38'54" N 109°44'16" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/383854-n-1094416-w/) - After seeing much of what Island in the Sky had to offer it was time to turn around and head back to our temporary "home" in Monticello. Along the way back we had to double back through the south fork of seven mile canyon. Here is one of three shots from along that stretch of
- [Green River Overlook](https://elvisrowephotography.com/green-river-overlook/) - To ensure that we saw all there was to see in Canyonlands I made sure to always make right turns. This worked to really good effect as we got to see all the major highlights of Island in the Sky. Heading south from near Upheaval Domes the next right turn took us to the Green

Along the way I pulled over to grab this quick shot of the asphalt carving through the desert landscape (Google Map).
- [Mesa Arch](https://elvisrowephotography.com/mesa-arch/) - No trip to the Island in the Sky section of Canyonlands National park would be complete without a quick trip out to Mesa Arch.

- [38°39'55" N 109°41'57" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/383955-n-1094157-w/) - After a lovely hike out to Delicate Arch, my daughter and I hit the road for Dead Horse Point State Park followed by the Island in the Sky section of Canyon Lands National Park. To get there you take a wonderful drive along Grand County Road 313. If you're in Moab taking in Arches, and
- [Delicate Arch](https://elvisrowephotography.com/delicate-arch/) - My daughter and I arrived at Arches much too late to make the trek out to Delicate Arch. We were forced to settle with the view from the Lower and Upper Delicate Arch Viewpoints. These areas are pretty simple hikes but the view isn't at all impressive. You can make out Delicate Arch easily enough
- [US-191 Homestead](https://elvisrowephotography.com/us-191-homestead/) - During the drive south along US-191, we passed by this long abandoned homestead just off the highway. I pulled over, turned around, and parked. I went out to explore while the kiddo hung out in the car patiently waiting.
- [Needles Overlook Road](https://elvisrowephotography.com/needles-overlook-road/) - After enjoying the view at the Needles Overlook it was time for us to return to our hotel in Monticello.

Left takes you to Needles Overlook while right takes you to Anticline Overlook. Never
- [Bonsai at Needles Overlook](https://elvisrowephotography.com/bonsai-at-needles-overlook/) - After enjoying the afternoon in Arches we turned south to head back to our hotel in Monticello. Along the way I chose to make a quick detour out some isolated road that appeared to go out to the middle of no where. After a 20 or so mile drive from the main highway we came
- [Double Arch](https://elvisrowephotography.com/double-arch/) - Just around the corner from Balanced Rock is another one of Arches more famous landmarks, Double Arch. I was super excited to get a picture of this huge beauty. The larger of the two openings is 148 ft (45m) wide and 104 ft (32m) tall. Double Arch is unique in that it was formed by
- [Balanced Rock](https://elvisrowephotography.com/balanced-rock/) - Balanced Rock is one of the most easily identifiable features of Arches National Park other than Delicate Arch. The total height of Balanced Rock is approximately 128 ft (39 m), with the actual balanced rock rising 55 ft (16.75 m) above the base. In order to really appreciate what Balanced Rock is you have to
- [The Organ](https://elvisrowephotography.com/the-organ/) - The Organ (fore, right) and the Tower of Babel (rear, left) are two of the largest and most easily recognizable free standing monoliths in Arches National Park. The Tower of Babel combined with Baby Arch, Three Gossips, and Ring Arch and are collectively known as The Courthouse Towers. I couldn't find the height of the
- [Park Avenue](https://elvisrowephotography.com/park-avenue/) - Park Avenue is one of the first stops after entering Arches National Park. If you have time there is an amazing two mile out-and-back hike that will take you down and through the canyon. The Park Avenue Overview is the trail start and the trail finishes at the Courthouse Towers. Unfortunately my daughter and I
- [Arches Scenic Drive](https://elvisrowephotography.com/arches-scenic-drive/) - Of course my daughter and I drove the entire length of Arches Scenic Drive. Here are what I feel are the highlights. Honestly, once you leave the Park Avenue area you really need to get out of your car and go for a walk to see some of the more spectacular sites. I have some
- [La Sal Viewpoint](https://elvisrowephotography.com/la-sal-viewpoint/) - After hanging out at the Park Avenue Overview we got back on the road and proceeded deeper into the park. It didn't take long before I was pulling over again to take more pictures. I couldn't find a name for this rock formation but it is located near the La Sal Mountains Viewpoint (Google Map).
- [38°37’10” N 109°36’53” W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/383710-n-1093653-w/) - The gateway to Arches National Park. It's amazing how this road switches back and forth as is climbs before letting you into the rest of the park. Absolutely beautiful scenery from tip to tail (Google Map).

- [Natural Bridges National Monument](https://elvisrowephotography.com/natural-bridges-national-monument/) - After a long drive across southern Utah we finally pulled in to Natural Bridges National Monument. We made a quick stop at the visitor center and took a cruise around the one-way Bridge View Drive. Our first stop was at the Sipapu Bridge overlook. Sipapu Bridge is the second largest natural bridge in the world
- [Utah State Route 95](https://elvisrowephotography.com/utah-state-route-95/) - Continuing east along Utah State Route 24 we made our way to Hanksville, UT. Once there we decided to take a quick break for a nice sit down lunch at Duke’s Slick Rock Grill. While my daughter and I were enjoying our lunches, I obsessed over the decision to go north or south. I eventually
- [38°16’50” N 111°3’4” W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/381650-n-11134-w/) - Not but a few quick steps away from where I shot the previous shot. This is looking east along Utah State Route 24 just south of Caineville, UT (Google Map).
- [38°16’41” N 111°3’10” W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/381641-n-111310-w/) - Having finished our time in Capitol Reef my daughter and I turned our eyes eastward for the Abbey Country of Moab, Arches and Canyonlands. We had the drive ahead of us. Before we set out from Torrey, UT I had to decide if we would go north or south from Hanksville. North would take me
- [Video ~ "Zion 8K"](https://elvisrowephotography.com/video-zion-8k/) - Absolutely outstanding video of one of my favorite places. The videographer did a amazing job of covering all the different areas of Zion National Park​. From the description of the video: ZION is the culmination of nearly a month spent exploring Zion National Park during peak fall color. Exquisitely carved by the Virgin River over
- [Capitol Reef Tour](https://elvisrowephotography.com/capitol-reef-tour/) - My daughter and I rolled into Capitol Reef late in the afternoon. Unfortunately, too late to get out and do any exploring on foot, but early enough to take some time enjoying the scenic drive. The skies couldn't have been better. After enjoying our quick trip through the park we returned to our hotel for

We drove straight through the park before even checking into our hotel in Torrey, UT. I'm especially glad that we did because I got some amazing shots (Google Map).
- [37°59’39” N 111°25’6” W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/375939-n-111256-w/) - A quick turn around and short walk in the opposite direction of my last gives you this lovely view. This is the last of the shots from along UT-12 between Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef. Looking forward to sharing some Capitol Reef shots over the next few days (Google Map).
- [37°59'39" N 111°25'5” W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/375939-n-111255-w/) - I'd guess about halfway between Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef you start to gain elevation, leave the red rocks behind, and enter into wonderfully green forest (Google Map).
- [37°47'59" N 111°24'24" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/374759-n-1112424-w/) - It seems that the entire month of October was a write off for me. My 9-5 kept me busy for most of the month and things are just now getting back around to normal. Picking back up with shots from along Utah State Route 12 (UT-12) between Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef. Have a small

- [37°44'59" N 111°26'35" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/374459-n-1112635-w/) - It's amazingly simple to get a large collection of shots in a beautiful area like this. You can get overwhelmed with the desire to stop and at each and every pullout to see what kind of composition you can come up with (Google Map).
- [37°44'50" N 111°27'17" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/374450-n-1112717-w/) - Another one of those instances where turning around and looking where you've been is worth while. This is looking west from the Heads of the Rocks Overlook instead of east. What a difference turning around can make (Google Map).
- [37°44'48" N 111°27'14" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/374448-n-1112714-w/) - Continuing our way east along Utah State Route 12 we stopped at Escalante Petrified Forest State Park for a hike through an amazing small state park. The amount of petrified wood along the trail was remarkable. When we finished we went a a little further east and spotted a pull-out and scenic overlook named Head of

- [Angel's Palace Trail III](https://elvisrowephotography.com/angels-palace-trail-iii/) - Continuing to hike the ridge along Angel's Palace Trail in Kodachrome Basin State Park. Such amazing views from this little park. Need to go back and spend more time there (Google Map).

- [Angel's Palace Trail II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/angels-palace-trail-ii/) - Another shot from along Angel's Palace Trail in Kodachrome Basin State Park.

We arrived early in the morning and set out along Angel's Palace Trail before the heat of the day. Another beautiful park that I think

- [Fairyland Loop Trail III](https://elvisrowephotography.com/fairyland-loop-trail-iii/) - As promised here is the full color version of yesterday's infrared photo from along the Fairyland Loop Trail. You really get the feeling of being on Mars with this shot due to how red the ground is. Interestingly you would continue on the trail here, pass through a gap in the rocks to the right,
- [Fairyland Loop Trail II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/fairyland-loop-trail-ii/) - After visiting Tower Bridge and relaxing for a bit it was time to head back. The trip back was pretty brutal being up hill the entire way with little to no real flat breaks. This section of the trail was truly other worldly. Trees were sparse and the ground appeared to be a solid crust
- [Tower Bridge](https://elvisrowephotography.com/tower-bridge/) - The trip down the Fairyland Trail to Tower Bridge was a breezy one, but during the entire trek down my daughter and I kept telling ourselves, "We're going to have to come back up this." The hike to Tower Bridge is three miles total with an elevation of 950 ft. Considering how out of shape
- [Video ~ "Vorticity"](https://elvisrowephotography.com/video-vorticity/) - Enjoying my lazy and relaxing Sunday evening and remembered I had a few more videos I've been meaning to share.

- [Bryce Canyon Pano](https://elvisrowephotography.com/bryce-canyon-pano/) - Continuing with Bryce's amazing reds this evening. As we explored between Inspiration and Sunset points we came along this beautiful scene. Sadly I couldn't capture it in a single shot so I had to stitch together seven shots to get what you see here. I'm particularly fond of the tree hanging out over the edge
- [Rim Trail IV](https://elvisrowephotography.com/rim-trail-iv/) - Finally get to show off some of the beautiful reds that Bryce Canyon is known for. Taken near Inspiration Point along the Rim Trail. So cool how parts of the canyon walls look like they were copy and pasted into place (Google Map).
- [Rim Trail III](https://elvisrowephotography.com/rim-trail-iii/) - Absolutely one of my favorite shots from my time in Bryce Canyon. I love how this tree is clinging to the absolute edge of the rim. Life displaying how resilient it can be. What an amazing view (Google Map).
- [Rim Trail II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/rim-trail-ii/) - It's amazing the number of trees that were right up against the edge of Bryce Canyon. Here is another one that had a view to die for (Google Map).
- [Video ~ "Miami Derezzed"](https://elvisrowephotography.com/video-miami-derezzed/) - Wanted to share a cool video I cam across a few weeks ago. Miami Derezzed by Oliver KMIA makes good use of not only goo photography techniques to create a stunning hyper-lapse video, but is amazingly effective with combining musical and technical transitions. I'm particularly fond of the day-to-night transitions as well as how he
- [37°36'10" N 112°9'34" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/373610-n-112934-w/) - It's been a long time since I've shared a shot from my Byways series. Interestingly I got this shot during my daughter and I's hike along Rim Trail. This was just southwest of Bryce Point where we would take a turn northward away from the highway and back to the rim's edge. I'm never one
- [Rim Trail I](https://elvisrowephotography.com/rim-trail-i/) - After our adventure along the Queens Garden Trail and Navajo Loop Trail my daughter and I called it a day. The next day we set out for even more hiking and adventure in Bryce Canyon National Park. We drove to the park, hoped on the shuttle, and set out for the furthest south point it

- [Queen's Garden Trail IX](https://elvisrowephotography.com/queens-garden-trail-ix/) - Continuing today with yet another shot from hiking along Queen's Garden Trail in Bryce Canyon National Park. While walking through the canyon floor this interesting rock structure rose up into the sky and peeked through this opening in the canopy. Usually distinct formations like this have special names, like Thor's Hammer, but for the life
- [Queen's Garden Trail VIII](https://elvisrowephotography.com/queens-garden-trail-viii/) - So amazing how quickly the landscape changes in Bryce. One moment you're walking through huge hoodoos convinced you're on another planet. Then you come around a corner and are immersed in a pine wood forest. Amazing (Google Map).
- [Queen's Garden Trail VII](https://elvisrowephotography.com/queens-garden-trail-vii/) - Another beautiful hoodoo from along the Queen's Garden Trail. An example of a standalone hoodoo that has been separated from the great walls that make up much of Bryce Canyon. Some stark contrasts going on here as well. The vivid blue sky contrasting with the earthy reds. The long dead and fallen tree behind the
- [Queen's Garden Trail VI](https://elvisrowephotography.com/queens-garden-trail-vi/) - Hiking along the Queen's Garden Trail was truly an experience. Each time you rounded a corner if felt as if you were transported to an entirely different place. The hoodoos would clump together to form large structures that seemed like a copy and paste on itself in one area and create standalone structures in the
- [Queen's Garden Trail V](https://elvisrowephotography.com/queens-garden-trail-v/) - I can't believe it has almost been a month since I last put up a pic. It isn't for lack of images to share. I completely redesigned my WordPress based web-site with an entirely new theme. As part of the redesign I've scrapped the shopping cart and the ability to see the shot before processing.
- [Video ~ "City Lights"](https://elvisrowephotography.com/time-lapse-video-city-lights/) - Colin Rich is no stranger to these pages. Earlier this year I shared his time lapse video "Nightfall". I still feel that "Nightfall" is one of the best combinations of audio and time lapse video that I've ever seen. While "City Lights" has wonderful imagery and music, as a couple, they aren't as powerful as
- [Queen's Garden Trail IV](https://elvisrowephotography.com/queens-garden-trail-iv/) - Continuing further and deeper into Bryce Canyon along Queen's Garden Trail (map).
- [Queen's Garden Trail III](https://elvisrowephotography.com/queens-garden-trail-iii/) - The nice thing about the hike along Queen's Garden Trail is that at parts it runs along the spine of ridges. This affords you a unique view either deeper into the canyon, out along the horizon, or back up to the rim of Bryce Canyon itself. Here you're given a little bit of all three
- [Queen's Garden Trail II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/queens-garden-trail-ii/) - As we continued our trip ever deeper into the bowels of Bryce Canyon the world turned more and more alien. In spots if it weren't for the occasional tree I would have sworn we were walking on the surface of Mars. Absolutely love this place and can't wait to go back (map).
- [Queen's Garden Trail I](https://elvisrowephotography.com/queens-garden-trail-i/) - After enjoying our brief ride into Bryce, my daughter and I of course stopped at the main Bryce Canyon Visitor's Center. We went through the entire center looking at all the different displays, gathering our maps, and souvenirs. While there we learned about the parks "Hiking the Hoodoos!" challenge. The challenge is to get kids

- [Bald Hills Road](https://elvisrowephotography.com/bald-hills-road/) - After driving to Kalamath Glenn, CA and the end of CA-169, my daughter and I turned around to return to US-101.

- [Carpenterville Road](https://elvisrowephotography.com/carpenterville-road/) - After enjoying our time in California it was time to turn our sights northward toward Oregon. I grabbed a flyer of some kind of different sights to see in the area and saw Carpenterville Road as a kind of scenic route. It was on a couple maps that showed it as a road that just
- [Mojave Route 66](https://elvisrowephotography.com/mojave-route-66/) - After I finished walking the grounds of Goffs and Goff’s General Store I hit the road and continued west on the pre-1931 alignment of Route 66 headings towards Fenner and eventually Essex. Both Goffs and Fenner were bypassed in 1931. Passing through Fenner and under Interstate 40, I eventually came to Essex and the intersection
- [Zion's Observation Point Trail](https://elvisrowephotography.com/zions-observation-point-trail/) - Late last summer my daughter and I embarked on a road trip to conquer Utah's "Mighty 5". Our goal would be to visit and hike in the 5 best National Parks in Utah and perhaps the United States. This trip would serve not only as a father-daughter adventure, but also an opportunity for me to

- [Abandoned Ludlow Homestead](https://elvisrowephotography.com/abandoned-ludlow-homestead/) - My Route 66 road trip concluded at the small town of Ludlow. There really isn’t much left of the town. Ludlow was one of the luckier Route 66 towns in that it was able to literally move closer to Route 66 ,after it was re-aligned, and Interstate 40 once it was complete. This ability to
- [Roy's Motel and Cafe](https://elvisrowephotography.com/roys-motel-and-cafe/) - The famous Roy's Motel & Cafe sign, a staple of the Mojave section of Route 66. Roy's was founded in 1938 as a simple gas and service station by Roy Crowl. The now famous sign wasn't added until February 1, 1959. Of course the opening of Interstate 40 in 1972 decimated not only Roy's but

- [Guardian of Route 66](https://elvisrowephotography.com/guardian-of-route-66/) - After passing through Chambless, Route 66 returned to normal and I would no longer have the entire highway to myself.

- [Teach Peace](https://elvisrowephotography.com/teach-peace/) - After walking and surveying Goff's General Store, I started to make my way back to the car. As I scanned out buildings I spotted this cool piece of graffiti. With all the craziness going on in the world today these are definitely words we all could learn to live by (map).
- [Goffs General Store II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/goffs-general-store-ii/) - Another take on Goff's General Store along Route 66 in Goffs, CA (map).

As you can see this group of palms really do stand out
- [Big Hairy Monster](https://elvisrowephotography.com/big-hairy-monster/) - Finishing up my shooting in Needles, I headed west along Interstate 40 to find Route 66.

Well before the turn onto Goffs Road at Arrowhead Junction I spotted this cluster of
- [Claypool & Co.](https://elvisrowephotography.com/claypool-co/) - Earlier this year I took a road trip south along US-95, over to Laughlin, south through Needles, then followed along old Route 66 west through Goffs, Fenner, Amboy, and Ludlow.

This is an old M42 screw mount lens

- [Angeles Crest Fog](https://elvisrowephotography.com/angeles-crest-fog/) - While cruising along CA-2 came across this bank of fog perfectly timed near a good sized pull out. I stopped and backtracked some on foot in order to get the shot seen here. Was also surprised to still see patches of snow lining the road especially considering it was the second week of May (map).

Always finding myself wondering, "I wonder where that goes?" I decided to take the quick detour to see what I could see. The short drive was really fun but the weather made for few photo opportunities. Clouds grew thicker and blotted out

- [Along Angeles Crest Highway](https://elvisrowephotography.com/along-angeles-crest-highway/) - Back in May I was down in the LA area and decided to take a quick road trip.

- [Watch Your Step](https://elvisrowephotography.com/watch-your-step/) - During our hike along Boy Scout Tree Trail I spotted what you see here. As best I can tell this is the end of a root of a tree. The root originally ran across the entire trail but was cut open and the end exposed. Since then nature has started working to consume what remains.
- [From Along Boy Scout Trail](https://elvisrowephotography.com/from-along-boy-scout-trail/) - My daughter and I finally made it to the Boy Scout Trail trailhead and started our hike to Boy Scout Tree.

- [Being Recycled](https://elvisrowephotography.com/being-recycled/) - My daughter and I decided to make a trip out to see Boy Scout Tree in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park.

- [From High Bluff Overlook II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/from-high-bluff-overlook-ii/) - Another shot from High Bluff Overlook. Take at the same spot as the last photo I shared just swapped lenses for this one. Went with the 50mm for this one to tighten up the framing and get some detail. Had some fun editing this one.

Even though some sections of the old road have been closed down much of the loop remains. After taking you through redwood forests you emerge along the rocky California coastline with beautiful ocean

This shot is looking south only a few feet away from the last photo I posted. Amazing to see the difference by only turning around. Wide open meadow one way and lush thick forest the other (map).

An absolutely beautiful area of the park. It's common to spot groups of deer and other animals along this stretch.
- [Deep in the Woods](https://elvisrowephotography.com/deep-in-the-woods/) - Something a little different from me tonight. After grabbing the previous Byways IR shots I grabbed my color camera, put on my 50 mm f/1.8 and gave it a go. I set the lens wide open and used the nearest reflector as my focusing point. With all the different textures and layers to this I

I'd say this same philosophy also holds true to photography. If you're out and about enjoying nature make sure to take the time to really immerse yourself
- [41°37'3" N 124°6'33" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/41373-n-124633-w/) - Hard to beat US-101 in northern California. It is very aptly named Redwood Highway.

From Schurz I could either continue on US-95 or take US-95 Alternate. I decided to stick with US-95 because it looked less busy as well as that was the route I had already mapped and was familiar with. About
- [Old Schurz School III](https://elvisrowephotography.com/old-schurz-school-iii/) - My third, and final, shot of the abandoned school in Schruz, Nevada. If I'm in the area again I definitely want to take another crack at this location. I would love to get permission from the locals to go inside and document the interior. Many urban explorers would say to just sneak/break instead of getting
- [Old Schurz School II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/old-schurz-school-ii/) - The second of three shots I have of the old school in Schurz, Nevada. Was really lucky to have had the sky cooperate with me so fully. Also like how well the camera was able to capture the metal grating on the inside of the window (map).
- [Old Schurz School I](https://elvisrowephotography.com/old-schurz-school-i/) - It's time to start sharing photos from my Spring Break road trip. Every year my daughter and I go on a camping adventure for her Spring Break. This year our destination was Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park near Crescent City, California. To get there would require 14 hours of driving, but would give me plenty

- [Room With a View](https://elvisrowephotography.com/room-with-a-view/) - I couldn't walk away from the old abandoned route 66 homestead without taking you inside. This is looking south from just inside the front door. I thought about venturing further inside, but my more sensible side kicked in and wouldn't allow it.

- [Abandoned Route 66 Homestead II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/abandoned-route-66-homestead-ii/) - A closer look at the old abandoned building just off Route 66 near Valentine, Arizona. Really wanted to get close with this shot to exaggerate its size. In processing I decided to also go with the false color sky just to add a little something. Really happy with how this turned out (map).
- [Abandoned Route 66 Homestead I](https://elvisrowephotography.com/abandoned-route-66-homestead-i/) - Having finished photographing the Crozier area, I started to head for home.

This was my favorite shot from this trip out to Valley of Fire. Something about how the road moves through the landscape combined with the amazing clouds just really sticks with me. Guess that explains why it currently serves as the
- [Texas Mountain Laurel](https://elvisrowephotography.com/texas-mountain-laurel/) - A few days ago I was driving to pick up a friend for breakfast and saw this little beauty blooming in the median landscaping.

- [Eastern Redbud I](https://elvisrowephotography.com/eastern-redbud-i/) - One of the advantages of working where I do is I get the advantage of seeing beautiful things like this every spring. I was walking between buildings a few days ago and spotted this Eastern Redbud just exploding in pink. At the time I didn't have my camera. The next day; however, I made sure

- [Sharp Sunset](https://elvisrowephotography.com/sharp-sunset/) - A few nights ago I spotted a developing sunset so I grabbed my camera and an old Vivitar 35mm M42 manual lens that a neighbor gave me and headed out.

This week we once again return to the Halstead Blackjack Inn west of Ely, Nevada. At the time I published this I was unsure of the make and model of the car shown.

- [Partridge Creek Bridge IV](https://elvisrowephotography.com/partridge-creek-bridge-iv/) - Fourth and final image of old Partridge Creek Bridge near Ash Fork, Arizona. It's shots like these that really make me wish I had more clouds in the sky this day. So much dark, stark sky and nothing to really break it up. Still love the subject and the shot (map).
- [Partridge Creek Bridge III](https://elvisrowephotography.com/partridge-creek-bridge-iii/) - Continuing to work my way around the old Partridge Creek Bridge along old Route 66 near Ash Fork, Arizona.

As I started down into Panamint Valley along CA-190 I pulled over, hiked to the top of this rock pile, and pointed my camera west. I must say I'm pleasantly surprised with the end result.

I got out my IR and snapped this shot as we were waiting for the sun to disappear behind the mountains.
- [34°58'26" N 114°25'8" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/345826-n-114258-w/) - Fourth and final shot from the particular spot along Historic Route 66 in Arizona between Kingman, AZ and Needles, CA (map).
- [34°58'59" N 114°25'28" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/345859-n-1142528-w/) - Here we have another shot from my trek along Historic Route 66. This is the third of four images that I took together near the same spot. I was really attracted to the curves in the road combined with the rocks (map). This shot is also the 300th photo that I've shared on this blog. I started
- [34°58'59" N 114°25'26" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/345859-n-1142526-w/) - Continuing with another shot from along the stretch of Route 66 between Kingman, AZ and Needles, CA. This spot is on the west side of Oatman, AZ as you start to drop into Needles, CA. Not far from where I took Friday's photo, but looking north instead of south (map).
- [34°58'59" N 114°25'27" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/345859-n-1142527-w/) - Continuing with another shot from along the stretch of Route 66 between Kingman, AZ and Needles, CA. This spot is on the west side of Oatman, AZ as you start to drop into Needles, CA (map).
- [35°2'32" N 114°23'21" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/35232-n-1142321-w/) - A major bend in the highway just just outside of Oatman, Arizona. Interestingly this spot is "East" of Oatman on the highway, but geographically "North" of Oatman. The road had several curves and switchbacks starting near Cool Springs, Arizona (map).
- [35°2'10" N 114°20'6" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/35210-n-114206-w/) - Continuing on my adventure west along The Mother Road in western Arizona (map).
- [35°2'12" N 114°19'57" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/35212-n-1141957-w/) - Continuing ever west along Route 66 (map).
- [35°1'53" N 114°19'17" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/35153-n-1141917-w/) - Continuing west towards Oatman from Cool Springs, I came to the curves in the road you see here. I knew that I wanted to get a shot of them, but shooting them from road level wasn't going to work. I grabbed my hiking boots and started hiking up the nearby hill to see if I
- [35°1'39" N 114°18'36" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/35139-n-1141836-w/) - My Byways project would not be complete without shots from along The Mother Road included. To fix this fact, in late September I decided to make a road trip to a stretch of historic Route 66 that stretches from Kingman, Arizona to Needles, California by way of Oatman, Arizona. I made several stops along the drive and will
- [Fire Over the Strip](https://elvisrowephotography.com/fire-over-the-strip/) - I've had this shot of a firey sunset over the Las Vegas Strip in my mind for quite a while. I'd been keeping my eyes on the evening clouds for a few months waiting for the right conditions. This first attempt turned out pretty well, but I know I can do better. For this attempt
- [Electrifying](https://elvisrowephotography.com/electrifying/) - Having finished up my trip to Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge, I set out south along US-93 to head home. Along the way I kept seeing lightning firing off along both sides of the highway. I desperately wanted to stop and setup to capture some lightning, but this stretch of highway does have wide shoulders so
- [Pahranagat Sunset](https://elvisrowephotography.com/pahranagat-sunset/) - Back in August I went to Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge to shoot a meteor shower. Sadly once I arrived I realized exactly how bad the skies were going to be for astrophotography. Undeterred, I spent an hour or so walking around my favorite park of the refuge near Upper Pahranagat Lake. I've shot this tree before
- [Supermoon '14](https://elvisrowephotography.com/supermoon-14/) - Went out to shoot the super moon and got a pleasant surprise. With clouds in the East, the moon made a late appearance and was hit and miss in and out of the clouds. Perseverance paid off by getting the super moon AND a lightning strike. Taken from the top floor of Red Rock Casino's
- [Ashland on Fire II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/ashland-on-fire-ii/) - A different take on the same lamp post shown in Monday's shot.
- [Ashland on Fire I](https://elvisrowephotography.com/ashland-on-fire-i/) - After walking through Lithia Park and spending the afternoon in Jacksonville's Historic Cemetery the wife and I retired to our B&B in Ashland. We were lounging around relaxing when I noticed an orange hue coming over everything outside. I walked outside to see what was going on. What I found was the sky glowing orange
- [Dora](https://elvisrowephotography.com/dora/) - My third and final image from the historic Jacksonville Cemetery. This is another one of those markers for a very young child. The marker reads: "Dora, Daughter of Wm.M. & Addie B Colvig, Born Dec. 24, 1886, Died July 11, 1887. Plucked in innocence To bloom in heaven." I really liked how the trees lined
- [Ross](https://elvisrowephotography.com/ross/) - Another grave marker from Jacksonville Cemetery in Jacksonville, Oregon. This marker isn't for just an individual but a family. The legible portions facing the camera here read: "John E. Ross Born Feb. 15, 1816 Died Feb. 17, 1890 Margaret Ross Born October 1867 Died Dec. 1, 1868" Sadly this wasn't the only marker I found
- [McMahon](https://elvisrowephotography.com/mcmahon/) - After having walked through Lithia Park in the morning we made our way from Ashland over to Jacksonville. The wife had been told by a friend from work to go to the cemetery located there because I would love it for the photographic opportunities. It was a very beautiful place and I want to desperately
- [Lithia Park V](https://elvisrowephotography.com/lithia-park-v/) - My final image taken in Lithia Park in Ashland, OR. I took several images of this bench slowly working my way back until I reached this composition. I was dealing with all the different lines from bushes, tree trunks, and the bench itself. I really liked the way this turned out with the bright white
- [Lithia Park IV](https://elvisrowephotography.com/lithia-park-iv/) - Having gone as far south as we wanted, we turned around and traveled north looking for Lithia Park's Japanese Garden. Wasn't disappointed in the decision to hunt it down. After walking through the garden I found this bench and spent a few minutes with it working a few different compositions. I really liked this one
- [Lithia Park III](https://elvisrowephotography.com/lithia-park-iii/) - Just because the path is lit, doesn't mean the path will take you into the light. Another shot from my walk through Lithia Park in Ashland, OR.
- [Lithia Park II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/lithia-park-ii/) - Continuing today with another shot from a walk in Lithia Park in Ashland, Oregon. The path had these wonderful lamps at various points along the trail. I never got a chance to go back and see what they looked like at night. They reminded me of the scene from the movie "The Chronicles of Narnia"
- [Lithia Park I](https://elvisrowephotography.com/lithia-park-i/) - After camping a few days it was time to return to civilization. We traveled to Ashland, Oregon to stay a few days in a bed and breakfast. Ashland served as a good jump off point for a couple adventures in the area. On our first day we went out and walked through Lithia Park which
- [Among Giants V](https://elvisrowephotography.com/among-giants-v/) - My fifth and final installment of my "Among Giants" mini-series. I would have to say that this is my close second favorite photo from the series. This lone bench amid all the beautiful redwoods. I was extremely lucky with the timing of the sunlight coming down from above and perfectly illuminating the bench. It wasn't
- [Among Giants IV](https://elvisrowephotography.com/among-giants-iv/) - Continuing today with another shot from my walk through the Stout Memorial Grove in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. Was lucky to find another nice stand of redwoods with a nice clearing in the middle. Once again I tried to have at least one redwood in each corner. Wasn't quite successful, but I like the
- [Among Giants III](https://elvisrowephotography.com/among-giants-iii/) - Continuing today with another image from my stroll through Stout Memorial Grove. After reviewing all the shots I plan on sharing from this walk, there are two more coming, I think this one is my favorite. There is so much I'm happy about with this shot. The way the path winds through the trees bringing
- [Among Giants II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/among-giants-ii/) - A slightly different composition for this shot versus Among Giants I. In Among Giants I, I put my camera right up against the trunk of a mighty redwood, pointed straight up, and fired. For this shot we found this nice grove along the trail and set my camera just inches above the ground and pointed
- [Ward Charcoal Ovens I - Blue Version](https://elvisrowephotography.com/ward-charcoal-ovens-i-blue-version/) - A return to Ward's Charcoal Ovens for today's Sunday Funday. You can view the original post here (map).
- [Among Giants I](https://elvisrowephotography.com/among-giants-i/) - Having spent half the previous day on the road the wife and I decided on an adventure a little closer to camp. We went over to Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park and walked the trails in and around the Stout Memorial Grove. Walking among these giant redwoods is quite the treat. While we were walking the
- [Phantom Ship II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/phantom-ship-ii/) - Here's another shot of Phantom Rock but from a different location. Sadly this particular spot doesn't have a specific name like the last one. I decided to keep with the red/blue channel version for this image like the prior one. The amount of blue here almost does the real thing justice.
- [Phantom Ship I](https://elvisrowephotography.com/phantom-ship-i/) - During our couple nights stay at Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park, the wife and I took the couple hour drive over to Crater Lake National Park. After a stop at the main visitor's center and post office, to mail a postcard to the kiddo, we set off to explore Rim Drive. Along the way we
- [40°26'18" N 123°59'7" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/402618-n-123597-w/) - If you were to be at the same location as Wednesday's picture and turn around, this is what you would see. One thing I always try to remember to do when out shooting is to look around and specifically behind me. You'd be surprised how differently things look when you turn around (map).
- [40°26'19" N 123°59'7" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/402619-n-123597-w/) - Another shot from along Avenue of the Giants in northern California. I love how close this one tree is to the road. I love how the shoulder goes around the tree. Hopefully it's there for many years to come (map).
- [40°20'37" N 123°55'59" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/402037-n-1235559-w/) - Time for a change of scenery. Time to leave the dry desert southwest and explore lush northern California. This trip was a part of a week long vacation with the wife that would take us several places in northern California and southern Oregon. The photos over the next couple weeks will have come from that
- [36°29'33" N 114°31'59" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/362933-n-1143159-w/) - As promised earlier this week, albeit a day late, here is a look around the corner from Wednesday's picture. This is a view looking south towards White Domes from just off Mouse's Tank Road (map).
- [36°29'35" N 114°31'56" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/362935-n-1143156-w/) - Continuing with shots for my Byways series taken during my latest trip out to Valley of Fire State Park just north of Las Vegas. This shot required a little work in the field as well as work in the digital darkroom. In the field I tried several different compositions. Different tripod heights, lens zoom length,
- [Video ~ "Moscow Night Timelapse"](https://elvisrowephotography.com/time-lapse-video-moscow-night-timelapse/) - Another video from Kirill Neiezhmakov. A few weeks ago I posted a video of his from Portugal. In the description he had said that was was attending an awards show. He was attending because this video, Moscow Night Timelapse, won top prize in the "Finisterra 2014" festival. Here is what Kirill has to say about this
- [36°27'47" N 114°31'18" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/362747-n-1143118-w/) - I left Valley of Fire Highway, turning north onto Mouse's Tank Road, to head out to White Domes. Along the way I made this stop to grab a shot of the road as is snakes through the desert (map).
- [36°25'27" N 114°33'10" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/362527-n-1143310-w/) - This is the road that grants you access to Atlatl Campground in Valley of Fire State Park. I've been on this road many times, but this is the first time I've stopped to take any pictures. I pulled off the road and climbed up on a large rock that was next to the road for
- [36°24'27" N 114°35'11" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/362427-n-1143511-w/) - Here is another image of Valley of Fire Highway just outside the official entrance into the park. This vantage point is up a small hill and to the east of my last photo. You can see where the road flows through the valley and out at the far end. This is where the official entrance
- [36°24'27" N 114°35'15" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/362427-n-1143515-w/) - My apologies for the week long hiatus. It was not only the first week of school for my daughter, but the first week of the semester for the university where I work. Things have been a little hectic to say the least, but I'm back now and ready to share some more images with you.
- [Derelict Tractor - Blue Version](https://elvisrowephotography.com/derelict-tractor-blue-version/) - Immediately after editing the original version of this I knew that a Red/Blue channel swap would look great with this image. I really like how the blue seems to brighten the leaves in the trees, especially in the center. I must admit part of this is due to the vignette I added in processing, but adding the
- [36°25'56" N 114°37'57" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/362556-n-1143757-w/) - This is a second take at this location and this shot. I discovered this spot during my last trip to Valley of Fire, but the clouds that day were hit and miss and I didn't get good IR response. Coupled with poor compositions I just didn't really get the shot I wanted. This trip I really
- [Rise of the Phoenix](https://elvisrowephotography.com/rise-of-the-phoenix/) - After a long day of driving and shooting infrared photos I was finally on the road home. As I was driving south along NV-318 I could see the sky starting to show promise off to the west. As it developed I started getting desperate to find a place to pull over and get a shot.
- [Wrecked](https://elvisrowephotography.com/wrecked/) - After walking around to the back of Halstead's Blackjack Inn I spotted this old wreck. I'm not 100% on the make and model, but if anyone knows I would love to hear from you. I took several shots from a variety of different angles and I like this one the best (map).
- [37°31'60" N 114°35'5" W - Blue Version](https://elvisrowephotography.com/sunday-funday-373160-n-114355-w-blue-version/) - One of the most common processing techniques on infrared photos is swapping the Red and Blue channels in Photoshop. It isn't something that I usually do, because a camera with an 830nm filter doesn't have a lot of red response. Little red means little blue after the Red/Blue channel swap. However, once in a while I
- [Video ~ "Portugal Time-Lapse in Motion"](https://elvisrowephotography.com/time-lapse-video-portugal-time-lapse-in-motion/) - It's been quite a while since I've shared a time lapse video and it's about time I change that. One thing that sets this time lapse from the others is the way the producer, Kirill Neiezhmakov, used morphing and transforming effects to switch between scenes. Kirill had this to say about the video, This timelapse was
- [Halstead's Garage](https://elvisrowephotography.com/halsteads-garage/) - Continuing my inspection of the Halstead property I spotted this old shed and thought it with the tree along the side looked interesting (map).
- [Halstead's Blackjack Inn II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/halsteads-blackjack-inn-ii/) - Another shot of Halstead's Blackjack Inn. This is from the north side of the building looking south. When I see it like this I think less of a gaming establishment and more of an old abandoned homestead (map).
- [Halstead's Blackjack Inn I](https://elvisrowephotography.com/halsteads-blackjack-inn-i/) - Continuing on my return drive to Las Vegas I came across this abandoned structure at the intersection between US-6 and NV-318. I pulled into the parking lot and spent 15-20 minutes walking the property taking several shots. I've done searches for "Halstead's Blackjack Inn" and have come up unsuccessful in determining what it was and
- [39°4'24" N 115°5'0" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/39424-n-11550-w/) - After wrapping up at the Ward Charcoal Ovens I continued on to Ely, Nevada where I make a quick stop for gas and dinner. I then proceeded west out of town along US-6 towards NV-318 which would take be back towards Las Vegas. About 18 miles out of town this view caught my eye so
- [Ward Charcoal Ovens II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/ward-charcoal-ovens-ii/) - Another shot of the Ward Charcoal Ovens. I think this image, along with Ward Charcoal Ovens I, really show how much a difference a few minutes can make. The two images were taken seven minutes apart. In those seven minutes the sun moved behind the clouds and the infrared response completely changed. The ovens went
- [Ward Charcoal Ovens I](https://elvisrowephotography.com/ward-charcoal-ovens-i/) - If I'm going to make a road trip all the way to Ely, Nevada just for the fun of it, it would be a waste to pass by this iconic Nevada landmark. If you'd like to learn more about the Ward Charcoal Ovens then check out the park's web-site located here. As for this shot I
- [39°1'50" N 114°33'56" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/39150-n-1143356-w/) - Another shot from a remote highway in northern Nevada. This shot is looking north/east along US-50/US-6 just a half mile north/east of Majors Junction (map).
- [38°46'44" N 114°34'0" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/384644-n-114340-w/) - Continuing with images from along US-93 for my Byways Project. This is looking north along US-93 and located 62 miles north of Pioche, Nevada or 20 miles south of Majors Junction, Nevada (map).
- [38°13'21" N 114°35'28" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/381321-n-1143528-w/) - This is a shot from along US-93, 22 miles north of the small town of Pioche, Nevada looking south. Another image in my Byways Project coming from a weekend road trip to Ely, Nevada (map).
- [Caliente Railroad Depot](https://elvisrowephotography.com/caliente-railroad-depot/) - Having finished up my nice drive up and down NV-317, it was time to continue my road trip north along US-93. Aside from random stops along the highway, for Byways shots, my next stops were Cathedral Gorge State Park followed by Ward Charcoal Ovens State Historic Park (map).
- [Nobody Home II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/nobody-home-ii/) - While I was waiting for the sun to come out to light up "Nobody Home" a little better I walked up and down the fence of the property looking for other compositions. North of where I shot "Nobody Home" I saw a spot where I could zoom in close and shoot through the trees and
- [Nobody Home](https://elvisrowephotography.com/nobody-home/) - Another shot of the same farm house I photographed in "Hidden", but from a different perspective. This was actually taken over 2 hours after "Hidden" because of poor sky conditions. On the first pass the sky was almost completely white with cloud cover making a horrible shot. I'm glad I recognized the problem with the
- [Derelict Tractor](https://elvisrowephotography.com/derelict-tractor/) - Driving north along NV-317 I spotted this old tractor on the west side of the highway. Thankfully the road is sparsely traveled and I was able to turn around immediately and stop and shoot it. It's hard to say how long the old machine had been in this spot. Looking at Google's satellite imagery the
- [37°31'60" N 114°35'5" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/373160-n-114355-w/) - Continuing with another addition to my Byways Project from along NV-317 just south of Caliente, Nevada (map).
- [37°28'31" N 114°34'33" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/372831-n-1143433-w/) - Another shot from along NV-317 just south of Caliente, Nevada. I actually took this picture twice an hour apart. The first time I setup the clouds and sky were nothing but a white mess. Thankfully this was an in-and-out highway so I had to pass by this spot again. Luckily, the sky was much improved
- [Hidden](https://elvisrowephotography.com/hidden/) - I went into last weekend with little to no new material to publish. This was unacceptable to me. I decided to take Friday off work and just go for a drive. I had a couple state parks in mind and the drive alone, according to Google Maps, was going to take me 11+ hours to
- [Blast Off](https://elvisrowephotography.com/blast-off/) - Last month during one of my trips to southern California, the family and I made plans to go see Space Shuttle Endeavour at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. Instead of just walking into the hangar and feasting your eyes on this amazing vehicle, you first walk through a large display detailing different aspects
- [35°44'38" N 116°18'50" W - Blue Version](https://elvisrowephotography.com/354438-n-1161850-w-blue-version/) - Another image from my Byways Project that I decided to toy with. I performed the same edits as Monday's blue version. A Red/Blue channel swap applied to only the sky. You can see the original by clicking here (map).
- [35°52'24" N 116°8'52" W - Blue Version](https://elvisrowephotography.com/355224-n-116852-w-blue-version/) - This is the same photo as 35°52'24" N 116°8'52" W but I processed the sky differently. I created a Channel Mixer adjustment layer and swapped the Red and Blue channels, setting the Red channel to Red - 0% and Blue - 100%; and the Blue channel to Red - 100% and Blue - 100%. Doing this
- [Flowering Yucca](https://elvisrowephotography.com/flowering-yucca/) - Final shot from my recent visit to Valley of Fire State Park. In my last post I mentioned while driving a yucca had caught my eye and this is it. It can be hard to see but the flower is opened up and looking directly at the camera. This also made it look directly at
- [36°28'15" N 114°31'33" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/362815-n-1143133-w/) - Another shot from along Mouse's Tank Road in Valley of Fire State Park for my Byways Project. While I was driving north along the road another yucca, similar to the one you see here, caught my eye. I pulled over at the next pull out and started walking south. Along the way I came upon
- [36°26'49" N 114°30'57" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/362649-n-1143057-w/) - Another Byways Project shot from Valley of Fire State Park taken along Mouse's Tank Road which leads from the visitor's center to White Domes (map).

- [35°37'43" N 116°17'23" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/353743-n-1161723-w/) - After my brief detour into the Death Valley desert I continued my drive south along CA-127 towards Baker. Just before a curve in the road I pulled over to take northern facing picture back across the valley. Point to point, according to Google Maps, this is 8 miles away from where I took a southern facing
- [Life & Death](https://elvisrowephotography.com/life-death/) - In the desert of Death Valley water is the bringer of life, but not everything is destined to survive (map).
- [Parched](https://elvisrowephotography.com/parched/) - While driving south on CA-127, I was admiring the landscape when I spotted a large, for Death Valley, pool of water just off the side of the road so I pulled over to investigate. I believe there had been rain in the higher elevations to the east and the water was draining to the low
- [35°44'38" N 116°18'50" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/354438-n-1161850-w/) - I continued driving west, passed through Tecopa and came to a junction with CA-127. Right would take me into Death Valley and left to Baker. I turned left for Baker and lunch and eventually home. As I drove I came around a series of corners and the valley opened up in front of me. The road laid

- [35°52'57" N 116°3'29" W](https://elvisrowephotography.com/355257-n-116329-w/) - My third of four photos from near Emigrant Pass. This photo was taken from just below Emigrant Pass and looks west toward Tecopa, California, 11 miles away (map).
- [Reclaimed](https://elvisrowephotography.com/reclaimed/) - We move from the Van Laanen barn to the Van Laanen home. The home was sold to the State of California in combination with the barn and several other structures. There were plans to use both the barn and home for park use. To stabilize and restore both to a condition that would allow interpretative
- [Overgrown](https://elvisrowephotography.com/overgrown/) - The old Van Laanen barn located on 8 acres that was sold to the State of California in 1983 to add to the 159 acre Sunset State Beach near Watsonville, California.

- [Twin Arrows Cafe](https://elvisrowephotography.com/twin-arrows-cafe/) - A second shot from the abandoned Twin Arrows Trading Post located east of Flagstaff, Arizona along Interstate-40.
- [Twin Arrows](https://elvisrowephotography.com/twin-arrows/) - Earlier this year I drove to Albuquerque, New Mexico to visit family for the President's Day weekend. Along the way I stopped at the old and now abandoned Twin Arrows Trading Post which is east of Flagstaff, Arizona. Anyone who has passed along this stretch of Interstate 40 is probably familiar with these huge arrows.

- [Lonely Tracks](https://elvisrowephotography.com/lonely-tracks/) - Continuing with more infrared shots from a trip to Cima, California. This infrared is a little different than what I normally do. In my normal infrared workflow, I usually do a complete desaturation for a complete black and white look. I don't know what it is with this scene that seemed to warrant keeping the
- [Joshua Forest](https://elvisrowephotography.com/joshua-forest/) - As I continued eastward to my final destination, I passed through a Joshua Tree forest. Some of these trees are well over 30 feet tall. Also I was really loving the cloud cover that was starting to settle in. It started to bring my hopes up for my sunset shots.
- [Pull Up a Chair](https://elvisrowephotography.com/pull-up-a-chair/) - Earlier this year I ventured out to Mojave National Preserve near Cima, California. My goal was to hike east from Cima along the railroad tracks to photograph a sunset in near alignment with the same tracks I'd be following. Mojave Tracks at Sunset I and Mojave Tracks at Sunset II were the fruits of that labor.
- [Boyd Law School South](https://elvisrowephotography.com/boyd-law-school-south/) - Taken during my lunch break a few months ago. This is the south facing side of the 3rd floor of the Boyd Law School. The texture of the building's exterior and the reflection of the trees in the windows is what drew me to this shot.
- [Wetlands Falls](https://elvisrowephotography.com/wetlands-falls/) - My final shot from a trip out to Wetlands with some fellow local photographers. This is looking in the opposite direction of Through the Reeds.
- [Through the Reeds](https://elvisrowephotography.com/through-the-reeds/) - Our small group of photographers continued to explore all the areas of the park. During our exploration we found this area near a pedestrian bridge. The bridge is the same one I've photographed several times before.
- [Wetlands Backcountry](https://elvisrowephotography.com/wetlands-backcountry/) - After completing my study of the Wetlands Park Visitor's Center, I met up with a small group of local photographers to wonder the park in search of photos. As we walked this trail I had to fall back while the group continued on in front of me.
- [Wetlands Visitor Center Study VI](https://elvisrowephotography.com/wetlands-visitor-center-study-vi/) - The last of my photos from my infrared study of the Clark County Wetlands Park Visitor's Center. This one is my favorite of the bunch. I've seen a lot of black and white architecture photography lately taken with large ND filters with long exposures and I like the resulting look. I tried to imitate the
- [Wetlands Visitor Center Study V](https://elvisrowephotography.com/wetlands-visitor-center-study-v/) - Continuing with photos from my infrared study of the Clark County Wetlands Park Visitor's Center.
- [Wetlands Visitor Center Study IV](https://elvisrowephotography.com/wetlands-visitor-center-study-iv/) - Continuing with photos from my infrared study of the Clark County Wetlands Park Visitor's Center. Of my three favorites this is a VERY close second. My favorite will be up in a few days.
- [Wetlands Visitor Center Study III](https://elvisrowephotography.com/wetlands-visitor-center-study-iii/) - Continuing with photos from my infrared study of the Clark County Wetlands Park Visitor's Center. I have three favorites from this series and this is one of them; third of the three.

- [Wetlands Visitor Center Study I](https://elvisrowephotography.com/wetlands-visitor-center-study-i/) - Last year I met up with some friends at the Clark County Wetlands Park. I arrived early so I could wander around the Visitor Center with my infrared. I ended up with several keepers which I'll be sharing over the following posts.
- [Lake Tami Pier](https://elvisrowephotography.com/lake-tami-pier/) - Another abandoned home along the north side of Interstate 15 north of Yermo, California. This home was once lake front property and the lumber you see are what remains of a pier. Lake Tami, at least that is the name Google Maps has given it, is long gone like the residents of this old home.
- [Eat Exit Now](https://elvisrowephotography.com/eat-exit-now/) - More abandoned and left behind structures. This old restaurant is located on Minneola Rd/Sunrise Canyon Rd just north of Yermo, California. You can't miss it if you're traveling south on Interstate-15.
- [Long Gone Sign](https://elvisrowephotography.com/long-gone-sign/) - Taken at the same gas station as "Diesel Sold Here". I'm glad that I got a picture of this with one of the lamps still in place. Who knows how long it's been there, or how long it will remain. Also like how the outside of the sign turned out with good detail and an
- [Diesel Sold Here](https://elvisrowephotography.com/diesel-sold-here/) - The first time I shot along Interstate-15 on the way to Las Vegas I stayed on the south side of the interstate. On this second trip I took to the north. This photo comes from an abandoned gas station just south of Yermo.
- [Wetlands Lower Pond](https://elvisrowephotography.com/wetlands-lower-pond/) - From one of my first trips to Wetlands Park. This is looking south across lower pond.
- [Pull Up a Seat](https://elvisrowephotography.com/pull-up-a-seat/) - This is my final image from the old abandoned house along Yermo Road north of Yermo, California. Strangely this is perhaps my favorite.
- [Abandoned II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/abandoned-ii/) - Same abandoned home from near Yermo, California from a different perspective.
- [Mojave Tracks at Sunset II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/mojave-tracks-at-sunset-ii/) - While out playing on the tracks I toyed around with several different compositions while I still had good light to play with. This particular shot was taken about 5 minutes after Mojave Tracks at Sunset I. Looking through all my shots from that trip and I think this and Mojave Tracks at Sunset I are
- [Kicked In](https://elvisrowephotography.com/kicked-in/) - While surveying the long abandoned house, I found this old doorway that was once boarded up but no longer.
- [Video ~ "The Waters of Greenstone"](https://elvisrowephotography.com/video-the-waters-of-greenstone/) - Have a slightly different video for you today. Normally I like to showcase time lapse videos because they are a combination of videography and photography. You have to take a series of photos, the photography part, and put them together in sequence to make a video, videography part. However, while you’re taking your photos you
- [Mojave Tracks at Sunset I](https://elvisrowephotography.com/mojave-tracks-at-sunset-i/) - I've been playing with The Photographer's Ephemeris (TPE) trying to find cool sunset alignments in and around Las Vegas. I remembered some railroad tracks which run through Mojave National Preserve and started dropping the pointer to see if I would come up with something. I found this spot that I felt would serve nicely for
- [Video ~ "Ancients"](https://elvisrowephotography.com/time-lapse-video-ancients/) - If you’re a fan of astrophotography then this is the time lapse video for you. Nicholas Buer has captured some amazing images of the night sky and put them together into an amazing time lapse video named “Ancients”. Nicholas has this to say about the video: I shot this file over 12 days around the
- [Abandoned](https://elvisrowephotography.com/abandoned/) - Another shot from my trip north on Yermo Road near Yermo, California. This small long abandoned home is easily seen from along Interstate 15 before you come to Yermo. I've passed it a number of times, but never made the effort to stop before this trip. I spent a good deal of time walking around
- [Sunset Over the Reeds](https://elvisrowephotography.com/sunset-over-the-reeds/) - After much insistence from my wife, I finally got up out of my office chair and went outside. I decided to grab my gear and head back out to Wetlands Park. Instead of staying on the trails I headed south to see what I could find. Also I had seen fellow Las Vegas photographer Randall
- [Derelict Check Station II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/derelict-check-station-ii/) - Here is a second image of the derelict check station on Yermo Road just north of Yermo California. I'm really happy with how this image came out. Has good detail under the roof and texture in the asphalt.
- [Heavenly Rays](https://elvisrowephotography.com/heavenly-rays/) - Fall came in with a blow in late October here in Vegas. The winds were kicking up a good amount of dust and brought in some clouds as well. On the drive home I saw this scene developing and I had to pull over to get a shot before it was gone.
- [Video ~ "Dreamscapes"](https://elvisrowephotography.com/time-lapse-video-dreamscapes/) - Came across this cool video by Jonathan Besler today while surfing the net. The music is pretty epic and when combined with the video footage it elicits a wanderlust, for me at least. Jonathan had these details on the video's page; The footage was taken within the last year and I took about 35,000 pictures, however
- [Wetlands Flag](https://elvisrowephotography.com/wetlands-flag/) - Just when I thought I had put up all my images from my third trip to Wetlands Park I find this one waiting for me. These rounds shelters were in a couple other places around the parking lot and I find them really interesting. After our photo walk through the park our group was walking
- [Derelict Check Station I](https://elvisrowephotography.com/derelict-check-station-i/) - Returning from a trip to Rancho Cucamonga, I decided to take a detour just north of Barstow, CA. Instead of continuing on Interstate 15, I exited at the town of Yermo and drove north on Yermo Road. I'm pretty familiar with this stretch of road because I pass it on every trip to Rancho Cucamonga.
- [Video ~ "Wyoming Wildscapes II"](https://elvisrowephotography.com/time-lapse-video-wyoming-wildscapes-ii/) - Last week I posted a time lapse video by Nicolaus Wegner and mentioned it was the second video of his I'd seen. This one is the first. It is actually the sequel to the video I posted last week, and you can't post the sequel before the original. Nicolaus definitely stepped it up a notch
- [Wetlands Park Bridge III](https://elvisrowephotography.com/wetlands-park-bridge-iii/) - Taken ten minutes after my Fire and Ice series of pics. I changed lenses again putting on my 10-22 in order to go wide. I was lucky that there was still enough orange from the sunset to light the reeds on the left and some of the underside of the bridge. Gives you an idea
- [Fire and Ice III](https://elvisrowephotography.com/fire-and-ice-iii/) - Here's another one of three images from my third trip out to Wetlands Park. Very similar to the one I posted on Monday. Used the same processing technique as before.
- [Scotty's Sundial](https://elvisrowephotography.com/scottys-sundial/) - Last shot from my trip out to Scotty's Castle earlier this year. While waiting for the tour to start I spotted this sundial up on the wall of the inner courtyard. I thought it was particularly interesting. Combined with the texture of the adobe walls it really stands out.
- [Video ~ "Wyoming Wildscapes"](https://elvisrowephotography.com/time-lapse-video-wyoming-wildscapes/) - Earlier this week fellow Las Vegas photographer Bjorn Burton shared a time lapse video by Nicolaus Wegner that was absolutely amazing. I did some digging on Nicolaus and found another video of his that I wanted to share. For being Nicolaus' first attempt at a time lapse video I think he did an amazing job
- [Fire and Ice II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/fire-and-ice-ii/) - As promised here is the second of three images from my third trip out to Wetlands Park. I swapped out for my 18-200 for my 50 1.8 for this shot. For being a $100 lens it sure does shoot nice. Had some fun editing this one. I used two different white balance settings and then
- [Fire and Ice I](https://elvisrowephotography.com/fire-and-ice-i/) - This is the first of three images from a third trip out to Clark County Wetlands Park. This trip was different because I went with a small group of local photographers. If you've seen my previous photos from the Wetlands you're familiar with the small falls under the pedestrian bridge. This is the same falls
- [Scotty's Castle II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/scottys-castle-ii/) - Here we have another one of the "spires" of Scotty's Castle. I gotta say that seeing this place in the middle of no where was a cool experience. The way the house was built to utilize the desert environment to make a home habitable was really cool. If you ever have the chance to go,
- [Local Flora](https://elvisrowephotography.com/local-flora/) - Made a third trip out to Wetlands Park with some local photographers. During our walk exploring the area I liked the way this plant looked in the setting sun. Many more coming from this trip.
- [Solitary Rocks](https://elvisrowephotography.com/solitary-rocks/) - Here's another shot from my second trip out to Clark County's Wetlands Park. After the sun disappeared I turned my camera to the falls and captured this. Just enough light to have the rocks still have some color.
- [Scotty's Castle I](https://elvisrowephotography.com/scottys-castle-i/) - On a whim the wife, a friend, and I decided to hop in the car and take a "car hike" to Death Valley National Park in June. Normally I wouldn't imagine going at that time of year, but we had just had a "cold" front blow through and the temperatures would only be in the
- [Wetlands Park Bridge II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/wetlands-park-bridge-ii/) - Another shot from my second trip out to Wetlands Park. This is the east half of the pedestrian bridge that spans the Las Vegas wash. The shot I published last week was of the west side. Was really lucky to have such a great sky for this shot.
- [Sunset at the Wetlands](https://elvisrowephotography.com/sunset-at-the-wetlands/) - On the morning of October 23rd, I heard the meteorologist from the morning news report there were high clouds moving into the valley and they should be around all day. I decided to pack my gear in my car and head off to work. The idea being if the skies looked good in the evening
- [End of the Line](https://elvisrowephotography.com/end-of-the-line/) - About two weeks ago I published a photo of a Joshua Tree and mentioned I had one infrared keeper from that trip, well here it is. This guardrail is at the end of an old spur of US-91 that roughly parallels I-15 between Las Vegas and Mesquite. Each time I made a trip to Zion
- [Wetland Falls](https://elvisrowephotography.com/wetland-falls/) - I'm continuing this week with more shots from my first trip to Clark County Wetlands Park. With fellow photographer Chris Benavides, we continued shooting the area under this pedestrian bridge. I witnessed Chris struggling to get the smooth silky water effect in his shots, so I decided to let him use my ND filters to
- [Wetlands Park Bridge I](https://elvisrowephotography.com/wetlands-park-bridge-i/) - I'm continuing tonight with another shot from my first trip out to Clark County Wetlands Park. We left our previous spot and continued along the paved trail hoping for another shooting spot. Imagine our delight when we came across this pedestrian bridge! This bridge connects the East and West sides of Las Vegas wash. There
- [Fence Along Kolob Terrace Road II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/fence-along-kolob-terrace-road-ii/) - A second photo of the same fence featured here, but looking in the opposite direction.
- [Rush at the Wetlands](https://elvisrowephotography.com/rush-at-the-wetlands/) - I received a Facebook message from a fellow photographer Chris Benavides asking if I was interested in getting together to shoot. We made plans to meet in the late afternoon at the Clark County Wetlands Park and stay until dark. We arrived and took a brief walk around the area to scope out some shooting spots.
- [Wynn Takes a Hit](https://elvisrowephotography.com/wynn-takes-a-hit/) - July in Vegas, monsoon season. Humidity streams into the valley from the south/southeast producing huge thunderstorms that can drop a years worth of rain in a matter of minutes. We had some record flooding this year in northern parts of the valley that made suburban roads look like old desert trails. Similarly to Lightning Over
- [Fence Along Kolob Terrace Road](https://elvisrowephotography.com/fence-along-kolob-terrace-road/) - During a recent trip to Zion National Park with a friend, I decided to take her all the way up to Kolob Reservoir as she'd never been there before. It was a beautiful day for a hike and a beautiful day for photography. On the way up I had spotted this fence and decided that on
- [Desert Joshua](https://elvisrowephotography.com/desert-joshua/) - I've logged several miles along Interstate 15, making trips to Zion National Park. During one of this trips I spotted a guardrail blocking what seemed to be the end of an old road. From the interstate you could barely make out the road let alone what condition it was in. Intrigued I used Google Maps'
- [Sky on Fire 10](https://elvisrowephotography.com/sky-on-fire-10/) - My final Sky on Fire photo from an amazing sunset in June of this year. This was another part of the same sunset seen in images 8 and 9 of this series.
- [Stands Alone](https://elvisrowephotography.com/stands-alone/) - Of all the photos I took while out at Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge this one if my favorite. Our Meetup group, Las Vegas Photo Safaris, had finally found a place we could settle in to in order to shoot some sunset shots. Before setting up my tripod alongside the others I decided to take a
- [Sky on Fire 9](https://elvisrowephotography.com/sky-on-fire-9/) - From the same June sunset as Sky on Fire 8. Was really happy to get two good Sky on Fire series photos from one sunset. Even better they are so different.
- [Sky on Fire 8](https://elvisrowephotography.com/sky-on-fire-8/) - An awesome June sunset from here in Vegas. The sky was really lit up that night. One of my favorites in my Sky on Fire series.
- [Upper Pahranagat Lakeshore](https://elvisrowephotography.com/upper-pahranagat-lakeshore/) - Here we have another shot from my trip to Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge with the Las Vegas Photo Safaris Meetup group. While scouting for a place to shoot the approaching golden hour, we stopped near at the shelter along Upper Pahranagat Lake and took a stroll out onto the dam that spans the lake. After a
- [Pahranagat Creek Road](https://elvisrowephotography.com/pahranagat-creek-road/) - After taking last Friday's image, Sunset at Pahranagat Creek, I climbed out of the creek bed and started to walk back to meetup with the Las Vegas Photo Safaris group. During my walk back, I came across this dirt road and couldn't pass up the opportunity.
- [Sunset at Pahranagat Creek](https://elvisrowephotography.com/sunset-at-pahranagat-creek/) - After cruising through Alamo we, the Las Vegas Photo Safaris group, turned south for Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge. We drove around both the upper and lower lakes searching for a spot to capture the sunset and setup for some star shots. Right as golden-hour was setting in we found a perfect spot on the south
- [Long Forgotten](https://elvisrowephotography.com/long-forgotten/) - With the help of Garrett Winslow our Las Vegas Photo Safaris group found this old rusted out beat-up pickup on the side of the road near Alamo, NV.
- [Red Eye](https://elvisrowephotography.com/red-eye/) - I'm continuing this week with photos from my Meetup trip to Alamo, NV with the Las Vegas Photo Safaris gang. This is another close up shot of one of the two wagons that the Windmill Ridge has on site. Unfortunately I don't have a macro lens so I had to make due with my 18-200.
- [Tailgate](https://elvisrowephotography.com/tailgate/) - As I mentioned with last week's infrared photo I went a Meetup trip with local photography Meetup group Las Vegas Photo Safaris and this is the first of a handful of color shots from that outing. One of the first things we did was get some lunch at Windmill Ridge. Imagine this small establishment's surprise when
- [4-H Member Lives Here](https://elvisrowephotography.com/4-h-member-lives-here/) - Taken shortly after last week's image, near Whipple Ranch in Alamo, NV. Once more, while everyone was busy shooting a rusted out old tractor I took the opportunity to explore the surrounding area. I got lucky and found this little gem of a sign lying in the dirt. It was still attached to the cable
- [Bring it On](https://elvisrowephotography.com/bring-it-on/) - At some point during her frolicking in the surf, Lexi started yelling and screaming into thin air. She would yell at the surf and the waves. Taunting them to come get her wet if they dared. She would scoop up huge handfuls of sand and throw them around. Then just as quickly as she started
- [On Cloud Nine](https://elvisrowephotography.com/on-cloud-nine/) - During Spring Break my daughter and I passed by many beaches. Without fail at each and every one she would ask, "Daddy can we go to the beach?" My answer in return would always be, "Not right now sweetie we've got somewhere else to be." And every time she would reply with a simple "Ok".
- [Video ~ "Welcome to London"](https://elvisrowephotography.com/time-lapse-video-welcome-to-london/) - Came across a new time lapse video I wanted to share. The video, "Welcome to London", is from photographer Mattia Bicchi and is a visually dynamic tour of London's famous spots. On Mattia's Vimeo page he writes, London is growing fast and is going vertical… i've been in London for 3 years now and from the
- [A Ranch Christmas](https://elvisrowephotography.com/a-ranch-christmas/) - During the first week of April I went on a Meetup trip with local photography Meetup group Las Vegas Photo Safaris. On that trip we went up US-93 to the small town of Alamo and the Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge. While driving along US-93 we came across an old tractor sitting in a field right next
- [Into the Land of Giants](https://elvisrowephotography.com/into-the-land-of-giants/) - This is my best shot from along the Drury-Chaney Loop Trail. It is really amazing to be in the presence of these giants. Makes you feel small, but at one with nature at the same time. If you're ever in the area take an hour out of your trip to visit this wonderful place.
- [The Rabbit Hole](https://elvisrowephotography.com/the-rabbit-hole/) - Another reason for taking the Avenue of the Giants detour was to go on a quick hike before getting to camp. I had looked before we left Las Vegas and found the Drury-Chaney Loop Trail. This trail literally transports you to another world. It could be bright mid-day at the trail head, and in a
- [A Captive Audience](https://elvisrowephotography.com/a-captive-audience/) - The last morning of breathing fresh crisp forest air. We had our last night of camping under a canopy of redwoods in the Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park in northern California and what a night it was. Earlier in the day, when we first arrived, we were scoping out camping spots when Lexi made a
- [Fit in the Forest](https://elvisrowephotography.com/fit-in-the-forest/) - My trusty steed. This poor car sure has put up with a lot from me. If I'm not throwing it down dirt roads in Death Valley I'm running it through ocean spray along the California coast. Wouldn't trade it for the world.
- [Avenue of the Giants](https://elvisrowephotography.com/avenue-of-the-giants/) - Driving along the Avenue of the Giants is a surreal experience. Bright day turns dark as the forest canopy surrounds you. You pass trees noticing their wounds, reminders of more careless drivers.
- [Abandoned Eel River Trellis](https://elvisrowephotography.com/abandoned-eel-river-trellis/) - After leaving Big Sur my daughter and I wouldn't catch good infrared weather for two days. Fog, drizzle, and rain make for terrible washed out infrared shots. Finally, after staying in Fort Bragg we were back under sunny skies and continued our trek northward on CA-1. All good things must come to an end and
- [Forgotten](https://elvisrowephotography.com/forgotten/) - During my Spring Break vacation with my daughter we hoped on a boat and cruised over to Alcatraz. When we started the day the weather was perfect. By the time we were heading to the island drizzle was setting threatening to ruin photographic aspects of the entire afternoon. I got some great family photos as
- [Flowers at Bixby Bridge](https://elvisrowephotography.com/flowers-at-bixby-bridge/) - After shooting Big Creek Bridge in Monday's photo I continued south along CA-1 heading back to the campground at Big Sur. As I pulled up to Bixby Bridge the viewing area was already growing crowded with photographers. I decided to continue south and just on the opposite of the bridge there was another pullout. I
- [Big Creek Bridge in Infrared II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/big-creek-bridge-in-infrared-ii/) - I'm continuing with my infrared shots from my spring break vacation along the California coast. Here's another photo of Big Creek Bridge, but a little closer this time.
- [Rocky Creek Bridge](https://elvisrowephotography.com/rocky-creek-bridge/) - After our hike through Muir Woods we drove straight back to camp. Just south of Monterey I pulled over to stop and get this shot of the early evening light on Rocky Creek Bridge. This area is absolutely amazing!
- [Out and Back](https://elvisrowephotography.com/out-and-back/) - On my President's Day weekend trip I had tried to get into Muir Woods but it was too crowded the day we went. Thankfully I knew this Spring Break trip was on the horizon so all wasn't lost. This photo comes from along Hillside Trail. If you go to Muir Woods you have several options
- [Big Creek Bridge in Infrared I](https://elvisrowephotography.com/big-creek-bridge-in-infrared-i/) - I mentioned in an earlier post that I set out to conquer the California coast during spring break this year and I have a small handful of infrared photos from that trip as well. This is the first of those images. There are several concrete arch bridges along the Big Sur portion of California State
- [Sunset Over Bixby](https://elvisrowephotography.com/sunset-over-bixby/) - For spring break this year I started the week with some very lofty goals. I would pack up my car with camping gear, load up my daughter, and we would set out on a camping adventure which would take us along the California coast. The goal was to travel as much of California State Route
- [Video ~ "This is Shanghai"](https://elvisrowephotography.com/cool-time-lapse-video-this-is-shanghai/) - I have another cool time lapse video to share tonight. Rob Whitworth has produced a visually unique time lapse which transports you from shooting point to shooting point seamlessly. From the video's Vimeo page Rob writes, Wherever you travel in Shanghai the cities skyline is always present. The looming silhouette of the almost constructed Shanghai
- [McWay Creek II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/mcway-creek-ii/) - This is my last shot from my long President's Day weekend camping in northern California and I really think I've saved the best for last. My daughter and I continued our short hike up Canyon Falls Trail and this scene opened up in front of us. It was awe inspiring to be in such a
- [Golden Gate in Infrared](https://elvisrowephotography.com/golden-gate-in-infrared/) - On the northern leg of our February trip we stopped at Fort Point in the Golden Gate National Recreation area. We parked at a gravel lot just below the main visitor's center but still far above Fort Point and Torpedo Point. Before starting the hike down to Fort Point I took a moment to grab
- [McWay Creek I](https://elvisrowephotography.com/mcway-creek-i/) - Having viewed McWay Falls my daughter and I decided to venture up Canyon Falls Trail which follows along McWay Creek. It wasn't long before we came to several small falls like the one you see here. At the time I only had one ND filter and it only fit on my 18-55 IS II. So
- [McWay Falls](https://elvisrowephotography.com/mcway-falls/) - After having spent the previous day north of base camp in Watsonville I decided to head south. Our first stop was the Monterey Bay Aquarium which was quite the treat. After a quick lunch in Monterey we continued south for Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park and McWay Falls. McWay falls is one of the few waterfalls
- [Pigeon Point Lighthouse in Infrared](https://elvisrowephotography.com/pigeon-point-lighthouse-in-infrared/) - Here is the first of two infrared shots taken earlier this year on the four day weekend for President's day. As mentioned a couple weeks ago I decided to take a camping trip to the California coast for the long weekend. After the first night we left camp and drove up the legendary CA-1 to
- [Under the Bridge](https://elvisrowephotography.com/under-the-bridge/) - This is my last photo from Fort Point from this particular trip. This is another one of those images that I had tried to capture last time I was at Fort Point. Of course at that time I didn't have a clue when it came to bracketing photos and I didn't have the great 10-22mm.
- [Window at Fort Point](https://elvisrowephotography.com/window-at-fort-point/) - Here is another photo taken from inside Fort Point which is located in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area underneath the Golden Gate itself. While exploring the for with my daughter we took a couple side trips down toward the end of some less frequented halls. At the end of one hall there were a pair of
- [Capitol Building in Infrared II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/capitol-building-in-infrared-ii/) - Sorry for the delay of this week's infrared photo. I decided to go to a showing of the 1985 hit "Back to the Future" on the big screen and didn't get home until late, but fear not for here is this week's infrared. This is what I would call a more traditional shot of the
- [Return to Fort Point](https://elvisrowephotography.com/return-to-fort-point/) - Continuing with my trip to the west coast over the long President's Day weekend I took the opportunity to revisit Fort Point. I was last at Fort Point almost 5 years earlier and I captured a very similar shot which you can see here. This trip I had a much better camera, better lens, and
- [Pigeon Point Lighthouse](https://elvisrowephotography.com/pigeon-point-lighthouse/) - Earlier this year I took advantage of a four day weekend for President's day and decided to take a camping trip to the California coast. After the first night we left camp and drove up the legendary CA-1 to visit Fort Point and Muir Woods. Along the way we came upon this rather famous lighthouse.
- [Capitol Building in Infrared I](https://elvisrowephotography.com/capitol-building-in-infrared-i/) - Have a couple quick infrared pics from my Washington D.C. trip. Actually I have exactly a couple. As the title suggests the other is of the capitol building. When I took this I was purposely trying to frame the dome with the trees on each side and I think they do it well. There is
- [Library of Congress Ceiling](https://elvisrowephotography.com/library-of-congress-ceiling/) - Last photo, color photo that is, from my trip to Washington D.C. Standing in the great hall of the Library of Congress is pretty amazing. There is beauty everywhere. I looked up and saw this scene before me and almost melted. I took several different shots at different focal lengths. Some closer, some further away.
- [Library of Congress](https://elvisrowephotography.com/library-of-congress/) - Here's another shot from the interior of the great room at the Library of Congress. I could spend an entire day in this building and end up with a ton of amazing shots.
- [Video ~ "Horizon"](https://elvisrowephotography.com/stunning-landscape-time-lapse-horizon/) - A really stunning time lapse created by Randy Halverson on the wide open plains of South Dakota, with some Devil's Tower, Wyoming mixed in. He writes: If you have ever been in a wide open landscape the most interesting thing isn't necessarily the landscape itself, but what you see coming over the horizon. Growing up
- [Kelso Depot in Infrared](https://elvisrowephotography.com/kelso-depot-in-infrared/) - This is the last infrared from my trip to the Mojave National Preserve. Next week I'll start in with my infrared shots from Washington D.C. The old Kelso Depot is now considered the primary visitor's center when visiting the Mojave National Preserve. It is located in the heart of the preserve and once the home
- [Library of Congress Staff Hall](https://elvisrowephotography.com/library-of-congress-staff-hall/) - The day after the inauguration was another tourist day for us. I had delayed our return flight by a day in order to give us more time to enjoy the capitol. Little did we know at the time we booked the flights that D.C. would be hit with a significant cold snap as well as
- [Lincoln Memorial](https://elvisrowephotography.com/lincoln-memorial/) - Hope you're enjoying my photos from Washington D.C. Have about 3 more in queue before we get back to wide open spaces. After enjoying the Washington Monument we made our way west to the Lincoln Memorial. I'm almost certain that during the day tripods aren't allowed inside the memorial, but since this was taken closer
- [Little House in the Desert in Infrared](https://elvisrowephotography.com/little-house-in-the-desert-in-infrared/) - This week in the world of infrared we continue exploring the Mojave National Preserve. This is a sister photo to a photo I published two weeks ago. Taken near the ghost town of Cima, California just north of the intersection of Cima Road and Morning Star Mine Road. One interesting fact is that they were taken
- [Washington Monument](https://elvisrowephotography.com/washington-monument/) - I'm continuing today with another photo from my trip to Washington D.C. After doing some sight seeing earlier in the day we returned to the hotel and laid around relaxing and recovering from our minor jet lag. Once somewhat recovered we went out to dinner. As diner was winding down I looked at the wife
- [Statue of Freedom](https://elvisrowephotography.com/statue-of-freedom/) - As I mentioned earlier in the week I had the chance to go to the US capitol for Barack Obama's 2nd inauguration. Our first full day in Washington was spent doing some sightseeing with a purpose. First, and only, order of business was to go to Harry Reid's office to pick up our inauguration tickets.
- [Along Ivanpah Road in Infrared](https://elvisrowephotography.com/along-ivanpah-road-in-infrared/) - Now that I've finished up with the infrared shots from Zion it's time to move on to another adventure.

- [DC Metro](https://elvisrowephotography.com/dc-metro/) - Earlier this year my family had the opportunity to visit Washington D.C. during the inauguration, so be prepared for several photos from that trip. This is the roof of the metro station near the hotel we stayed at during our trip. I really liked the pattern and symmetry that was present in the ceiling. Of
- [Morning Star Joshua](https://elvisrowephotography.com/morning-star-joshua/) - At long last here is my final photo from my trip to Mojave National Preserve. The more I look at this shot the more I like it. After finishing up on Cima Road I knew I wanted to return to this Joshua Tree Forest I had passed on the way in. I couldn't have timed
- [Service Road Only in Infrared II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/service-road-only-in-infrared-ii/) - I'm continuing this week with another photo taken during my hike along the Pa'rus Trail in Zion National Park. This is another perspective on the same road I shared last week. You can view the other version here. Of the two versions I think I like the previous version better. I like how the line
- [Cima Road](https://elvisrowephotography.com/cima-road/) - This is the second of three photos taken during a trip to the Mojave National Preserve. For this particular photo I traveled north from Cima along Cima Road. I'd been watching the scene develop in my rear view while driving and only had to find a good spot to pull over. Once I'd found it
- [Little House in the Desert](https://elvisrowephotography.com/little-house-in-the-desert/) - Nothing better than a play on a classic title. This shot was taken in, the now considered ghost town of, Cima, California just north of the intersection of Cima Road and Morning Star Mine Road. My daughter and I had originally planned a hike along the Rings Loop Trail, but cool windy weather stopped us.
- [Service Road Only in Infrared](https://elvisrowephotography.com/service-road-only-in-infrared/) - This is another photo taken during my hike along the Pa'rus Trail in Zion National Park. The Pa'rus Trail is more a sidewalk than a trail. The entire length is either paved or concrete, but don't let take away from its beauty. Along the way you cross this service road. I love photographing roads. They
- [Video ~ "The Yukon's Northern Lights"](https://elvisrowephotography.com/time-lapse-the-yukons-northern-lights/) - Very cool time lapse video of the Northern Lights taken up in the Yukon. The video was shot by Phil Hart who shared, With four cameras and dozens of lenses, tripods and a truck full of extreme cold weather gear, I journeyed across the Yukon and chased every gap in the clouds I could find.
- [Sky on Fire 7](https://elvisrowephotography.com/sky-on-fire-7/) - Another "Sky on Fire" sunset to add to my collection. Taken at the same time as Saturday's Sky on Fire 6 photo. I believe this was shot looking Northwest while the other was looking Southwest.
- [Sky on Fire 6](https://elvisrowephotography.com/sky-on-fire-6/) - Another amazing "Sky on Fire" sunset to add to my collection. Looking back I'm surprised at how many have been shot with the 50mm f/1.8.
- [Canyon Junction Bridge in Infrared](https://elvisrowephotography.com/canyon-junction-bridge-in-infrared/) - During my hike down the Pa’rus Trail I turned around and spotted Zion’s Canyon Junction Bridge peeking out from between the trees. I waited patiently for the cars to clear the bridge before grabbing the shot. In post I wasn’t really happy with the original composition so I tightened it up some by cropping in
- [Zion Shoe Tree](https://elvisrowephotography.com/zion-shoe-tree/) - This one makes me sad. After a long day of hiking through Zion National Park I turned to drive home. I have driven past this shoe tree each time I was going to or coming from Zion. I always wanted to stop and try to get a shot like this. I stayed for almost an hour
- [From Along Pa'rus Trail](https://elvisrowephotography.com/from-along-parus-trail/) - Here we have an HDR composed of three shots of the Virgin River taken along the Pa'rus Trail in Zion National Park. This shot was taken just south of Canyon Juntion on one of three bridges along the trail. It took a lot of work to end up with this final shot. I had to
- [Old Guard in Infrared II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/old-guard-in-infrared-ii/) - Here is the promised companion soldier to the one I posted last week. I like this one a little more because you can see more of Wildcat Canyon in the background and you get a better idea of how close this tree is to the edge. Still standing tall after all these years though.
- [Along Canyon Overlook II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/along-canyon-overlook-ii/) - Last one from this particular trip to Zion National Park. This is another from along the Canyon Overlook Trail. I really liked the different colors in the tree with the canyon walls as a backdrop.
- [Along Canyon Overlook](https://elvisrowephotography.com/along-canyon-overlook/) - After my hike along the Northgate Peaks Trail I ventured back into the main canyon of Zion National Park to take a stab at the Canyon Overlook Trail. The timing couldn't have been better. Arriving just as the sun was setting over the west rim of the canyon, I started looking around for something to shoot.
- [Video ~ "NightFall"](https://elvisrowephotography.com/time-lapse-nightfall/) - I came across this time lapse video quite a while ago and totally forgot to share it here. I was sharing it with a friend a few weeks ago which reminded me to share it here as well. The video was shot by Colin Rich and he writes: I shot "Nightfall" in an attempt to
- [Old Guard in Infrared](https://elvisrowephotography.com/old-guard-in-infrared/) - While enjoying the Northgate Peaks Trail you come to this clearing that overlooks Wildcat Canyon. At this point along the trail there are only a few pines that overlook the canyon. This is one of two that I captured along the way. I'll show the other next week. These pair of trees seemed to be
- [Zion's Northgate Peaks](https://elvisrowephotography.com/zions-northgate-peaks-2/) - Here we have another panorama from the end of the Northgate Peaks trail in Zion National Park. If this scene looks familiar, it should. I posted an infrared panorama from the same spot a few weeks ago which you can see here. This picture was created from 9 individual portrait orientated shots. I combined them
- [Sunset in Zion Canyon](https://elvisrowephotography.com/zion-canyon/) - Another photo from Zion National Park. This was taken along the northern section of the Emerald Pools Trail near The Grotto. I've done this hike twice now and I really enjoy it. You start at The Grotto, cross the river, and start up the canyon wall. You quickly gain elevation, approximately a hundred feet, then
- [Through the Trees in Infrared](https://elvisrowephotography.com/through-the-trees-in-infrared/) - Taken along the hike back to the car along the Northgate Peaks Trail in Zion National Park. The forest area along this trail was really cool. One minute you're in deep forest and the next clear meadows. You'll see a couple examples of this over the next couple weeks.
- [Dragonfly](https://elvisrowephotography.com/dragonfly/) - While walking along the Riverside Walk trail in Zion National Park you pass through an area that is very swampy. On this particular trip there were a small handful of dragonflies flying about. I set my backpack down, got out my tripod, and started setting up. Lucky for me I had my 200mm already on
- [Path to the Unknown](https://elvisrowephotography.com/path-to-the-unknown/) - Ahh yes another wonderful hike in Zion National Park. This was taken during another hike on the Riverside Walk at the north end of the main canyon.

- [Zion's Northgate Peaks in Infrared](https://elvisrowephotography.com/zions-northgate-peaks/) - Made another trip to Zion and again went to the upper part of the park along Kolob Resevoir road. The purpose of this trip was to hike the Northgate Peaks Trail. Northgate Peaks Trail is a mostly flat, 4-mile, roundtrip hike that makes it way through meadows and forest to the view you see below.
- [Palazzo II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/palazzo-ii/) - This is the final photo from my photo walk along the Las Vegas strip. With the sun rapidly falling behind the Spring Mountains my light was fading fast. I sat down in front of The Palazzo and setup my tripod and camera and started framing. If you mouse over the shot you'll see that I
- [Sunset on the Wynn](https://elvisrowephotography.com/sunset-on-the-wynn/) - This is another shot from my photo walk on the Las Vegas Strip. From my previous vantage point looking at the Palazzo I turned around and saw the setting sun start to warm up the Wynn and Encore hotels. These two hotels, some of newer on the strip, are already warm enough without the setting
- [Palazzo in Infrared](https://elvisrowephotography.com/palazzo-in-infrared/) - Talk about timing! Here is a photo of the south side of The Palazzo Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. If you put your mouse over the image you'll see the image straight out of the camera and see I did a lot of editing on this one. I was not at all
- [Palazzo](https://elvisrowephotography.com/palazzo/) - This photo is from my first photo walk along the Las Vegas Strip. I've finally caught up to my infrared work! When I first took to the strip it was still late afternoon and the light was horrible for color photography so I shot infrared for a few hours as I walked up and down
- [Lightning Over Vegas](https://elvisrowephotography.com/lightning-over-vegas/) - I really love monsoon season in Vegas. A day can go from bright and sunny to dark and pouring rain and back again in a matter of minutes. It's not uncommon for inches of rain to fall in only hours. I was in my office working on something when I started seeing flashes out of
- [Paris in Infrared III](https://elvisrowephotography.com/paris-in-infrared-iii/) - This is my third, and final, shot of the Paris Hotel and Casino taken during my first Las Vegas Strip photo walk. This photo was taken right under the Eiffel Tower. By this time in the afternoon the sun had set behind the Bellagio causing the shadow on the lower part of the tower. This shadow really
- [Storm Over Hoover Dam](https://elvisrowephotography.com/storm-over-hoover-dam/) - With rain in the area all day I'd hoped to catch the a shot with the face of the dam soaking wet and the reflection of some sunlight coming off it. When I arrived the dam was bone dry despite obvious signs of rain having been in the area earlier. Undaunted I setup to shoot
- [Red Rock Joshua](https://elvisrowephotography.com/red-rock-joshua/) - This is a single frame HDR taken just outside the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. I was waiting to pull into Red Rock when I looked south and saw this partial rainbow in the clouds. I jumped out and tried to line up a shot with it and the Joshua Tree. You can barely

- [Video ~ "New York Day"](https://elvisrowephotography.com/time-lapse-new-york-day/) - I came across this cool time lapse video by Samuel Orr while browsing my blog roll. From the Vimeo page if found the following from Samuel: I shot this film over 4 trips to NYC 2011-2012.

- [Life Finds a Way](https://elvisrowephotography.com/life-finds-a-way/) - Another photo from the beautiful Zion National Park, but this time from the main canyon. At the north end of the canyon there is a friendly trail named Riverside Walk. This is a paved trail that winds along the North Fork Virgin river. As you move further north along the trail the canyon walls come
- [Purple Palmer's Penstemon](https://elvisrowephotography.com/purple-palmers-penstemon/) - Near the end of our hike in Wildcat Canyon I saw these flowers and took this quick photo. I've tried researching what they are exactly and Palmer's Penstemon is the my best guess as to what they are. Some would say these flowers are blue and others purple. I commonly have difficulty differentiating between some
- [Paris in Infrared I](https://elvisrowephotography.com/paris-in-infrared-i/) - Continuing with photos from my first photo walk on the Las Vegas Strip I captured this shot of the Paris Hotel and Casino. This shot was actually taken from across the street in front of the Bellagio. The decorative railing you see here is in place to prevent pedestrians from walking out into traffic on

- [Lava Point Panorama](https://elvisrowephotography.com/lava-point-panorama/) - This is a multi-shot HDR Panorama taken from Lava Point in Zion National Park. To make this image I took 3 shots of 3 brackets each for a total of 9 images. I started by taking each 3 shot bracket and making a single HDR from it. I then took the 3 HDRs and stitched
- [Caesars in Infrared](https://elvisrowephotography.com/caesars-in-infrared/) - We're continuing my with my first photography trip down to the Las Vegas strip. On the opposite side of this structure is an entrance to the shops located at Caesar's Palace. I was drawn to this because of the pattern of the tall bushes and the repeating patterns in the structure.
- [Kolob Reservoir Quackers](https://elvisrowephotography.com/kolob-reservoir-quackers/) - After the hike along the Taylor Creek Trail we headed for the upper northern section of Zion National Park.

After the previous photo our surprise visitor continued to walk across the side of this hill opposite the wash from us. He kept cruising along until he ended up on this ridge. He stood here, just
- [Desert Bighorn](https://elvisrowephotography.com/desert-bighorn/) - During a hike along the Pinto Valley Trail in the Lake Mead NRA we came across this great looking Desert Bighorn.

- [Venetian Tower in Infrared](https://elvisrowephotography.com/venetian-tower-in-infrared/) - We finish my last first, my first infrared only photography trip, to another first. This was taken during my first photography dedicated trip to the Las Vegas Strip.

- [Little Zion](https://elvisrowephotography.com/little-zion/) - Here we have a photo looking east from "Little Zion" which is located in the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. This shot is not your typical Red Rock Canyon photo. To get to this location you have to drive west on NV 160 towards Pahrump. Well before Pahrump there is the small community of
- [Deep in Thought](https://elvisrowephotography.com/deep-in-thought/) - Last one from my trip to the Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden. This photo is a special one for me. After having walked through the entire arboretum my father-in-law decided to sit down and take a break on a bench which looks out to Baldwin Lake, the lake you see in the distance. While the two

According to his post on Reddit (link), I spent all of 2012 taking over 17,000 photos to make this time lapse video...

- [Video ~  "Meet Me in Big Sur"](https://elvisrowephotography.com/amazing-video-meet-me-in-big-sur/) - During my photography news roundup I came across this beautiful video of one of our countries natural treasures shot by Andrew Julian.

- [Meyberg Waterfall](https://elvisrowephotography.com/meyberg-waterfall/) - Only a couple photos left from the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanical Garden. This is the Meyberg Waterfall. I tried to research and find more information about it but came up empty. When we arrived at the waterfall there was a stretch limo on site. Off to the side there is a path that
- [Arboretum Orchid](https://elvisrowephotography.com/arboretum-orchid/) - An Orchid photo from the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden's Tropical Greenhouse. This one was fun to edit. I decided to really pull out as much detail as possible in the water and the petals while keeping the background as muted as possible. I'm happy with the results.
- [Smith Center Palm](https://elvisrowephotography.com/smith-center-palm/) - After shooting the Clark County Government Center I took a quick drive to the nearby Smith Center for the Performing Arts.

It is
- [Red Cluster](https://elvisrowephotography.com/red-cluster/) - My apologies for going another week without updates.

- [Triplets](https://elvisrowephotography.com/triplets/) - Here was have another photo from my trip to the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden.

- [Clark County Government Center in Infrared II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/clark-county-government-center-in-infrared-ii/) - Here's another photo from my outing to the Clark County Government Center. I moved from my previous spot to capture more of this particular piece of the structure. In my mind I keep calling it "The Turret". To me the large beams coming out from the top, combined with the circular shape, remind me of
- [Peacock Feathers](https://elvisrowephotography.com/peacock-feathers/) - Two weeks after my outstanding visit to The Huntington Library, I got the opportunity to visit the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden with my daughter and father-in-law. It was another great photo adventure, but with family in tow making it extra special. I have at least four photos planned from my trip to
- [Ring of Pink](https://elvisrowephotography.com/ring-of-pink/) - Here we have another photo from the Desert Garden at The Huntington Library. There were several cacti similar to this one and they were all looking just as beautiful. While I was there I didn't think to stop and clean up my subject before taking the shot.

- [Clark County Government Center in Infrared](https://elvisrowephotography.com/clark-county-government-center-in-infrared/) - When I got an infrared converted camera I was really excited to put it to use in the harsh sunlight that dominates Las Vegas.

- [Pretty in Pink](https://elvisrowephotography.com/pretty-in-pink/) - Another shot taken in the Desert Garden at The Huntington Library.

- [Three of a Kind](https://elvisrowephotography.com/three-of-a-kind/) - These three flowers caught my eye as I was wandering the Desert Garden at The Huntington Library. It was really amazing to see this much color from a desert plant. Coming from Vegas most local plants are varying shades of bland green and brown. I was very lucky to have had the chance to go
- [Wide Open Spaces in Infrared](https://elvisrowephotography.com/wide-open-spaces-in-infrared/) - Here we have another multi-shot panorama shot from along Kolob Resevoir Rd near Zion National Park.

- [Huntington Japanese Garden](https://elvisrowephotography.com/huntington-japanese-garden/) - And I'm back from a brief intermission. My apologies for not putting up something stating that I would be away a week. I was out of town and away from my computer on Christmas Eve and just couldn't get back into the posting rhythm. Don't fret I'm back and ready to move into 2013. Another
- [Post and Flowers](https://elvisrowephotography.com/post-and-flowers/) - While walking along the path that takes you through the Chinese Garden at The Huntington Library. I saw these beautiful pink flowers surrounding this post. The flowers were also a favorite of the local bee population.

- [Lake of Reflected Fragrance](https://elvisrowephotography.com/lake-of-reflected-fragrance/) - As promised another shot from The Huntington Library located in San Marino, CA. This is just a small portion of the Lake of Reflected Fragrance located in the Chinese Garden of the library. I mentioned previously that the sky wasn't that great photographically. One thing that was nice is the minor marine layer that was present
- [Pavilion of the Three Friends](https://elvisrowephotography.com/pavilion-of-the-three-friends/) - Time for something fresh. I was in the LA area on a weekend trip and took the opportunity to visit The Huntington Library so the next couple shots will be from there. The sky that day was typical southern California, absolutely beautiful for a visit to an outdoor place like The Huntington, but horrible for photography
- [Looking North in Infrared](https://elvisrowephotography.com/looking-north-in-infrared/) - Another infrared shot taken from Lava Point in Zion National Park. This one is different from most you see taken from this vantage point.

- [Drill Bit](https://elvisrowephotography.com/drill-bit/) - I've hiked the Historic Railroad Tunnel Trail in Lake Mead NRA twice and rode a bike once.

- [Death Valley Sunset Panorama](https://elvisrowephotography.com/death-valley-sunset-panorama/) - As I was finishing up the Artist's Drive Scenic Route, the sunset was developing fast in the west. Thankfully Artist's Drive ends right at Badwater Road (CA-190) with a perfect place to park. I wasn't alone. Artist's Drive opens from a canyon on both sides to an alluvial fan which opens into the valley below. From here
- [Zion Bend Infrared](https://elvisrowephotography.com/zion-bend-infrared/) - Taken along Utah State Route 9 in Zion National Park leading up to the famous Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel. The drive up the canyon wall to the tunnel is absolutely amazing and one I strongly recommend to anyone who is making the trip to Zion. The route is dotted with many pull-outs for your picture taking pleasure. This
- [Artist's Drive II](https://elvisrowephotography.com/artists-drive-ii/) - Another shot taken near the end of the scenic Artist's Drive in Death Valley National Park. The drive is described on the park service's web-site as a "[s]cenic loop drive through multi-hued volcanic and sedimentary hills. Artist’s Palette is especially photogenic in late afternoon light." This was taken in the same spot as Artist's Drive I, but I
- [Artist's Drive I](https://elvisrowephotography.com/artists-drive-i/) - This was taken near the end of the scenic Artist's Drive in Death Valley National Park. The drive is described on the park service's web-site as a "[s]cenic loop drive through multi-hued volcanic and sedimentary hills. Artist’s Palette is especially photogenic in late afternoon light."

After rounding White Rock the view opens up to reveal much of the NCA below you. What you see here is the Rainbow Escarpment which is thrusting up forming the cliffs that give
- [Sunset Over Death Valley](https://elvisrowephotography.com/sunset-over-death-valley/) - This is a panorama of three HDR shots I took during a trip to Death Valley National Park.

- [Lava Point Panorama in Infrared](https://elvisrowephotography.com/lava-point-panorama-in-infrared/) - Earlier this year I stumbled onto an Ebay deal for a Canon PowerShot G2 converted to near infrared.

I snapped a few shoots of the moon coming up over the desert terrain, but I
- [Railroad Tunnel](https://elvisrowephotography.com/railroad-tunnel/) - This is my first attempt at exposure blending. If you mouse over the image you'll see the "properly" exposed image straight from the camera.

- [Cliff Face](https://elvisrowephotography.com/cliff-face/) - Another shot from my hike with my daughter in Sloan Canyon NCA. It's funny the longer I look at this picture the more I see a face in the face.

- [Full Moon](https://elvisrowephotography.com/full-moon/) - Saying that this was captured using an 18-55mm at a focal length of 49mm isn't entirely true. This Christmas our daughter received a telescope from Santa. On this January night we had it out observing the full moon and I wanted a picture. This is a projection that was captured by shooting the camera through

- [Fort Point](https://elvisrowephotography.com/fort-point/) - Probably one of my first attempts, at the time, for HDR. At the time I didn't even know how to automatically have my camera bracket exposures for me.

- [Blind Hill](https://elvisrowephotography.com/blind-hill/) - This is the same stretch of road from my previous post.

- [v2](https://elvisrowephotography.com/v2/) - Title pretty much sums it up. I'm happy to be posting this on the newly updated and refreshed elvisrowephotography.com. I've made some drastic changes. I decided to update the site because it was too complex and I wanted something more minimal. The 2-column layout is tried and true, but I felt it was too much.
