Missing Ireland

I've been thinking about Ireland more than usual lately, and I'd like to attribute it to the deal I found ~$600 for a week in Ireland, a few nights in Dublin and Cork, maybe a car rental? If you haven't been there, you really should go.

Snowy Moonlight

We had a nice snow today and when the clouds cleared this evening, I thought I should probably get the ol' camera out and play around a bit. Didn't get anything too interesting, but I like the moon shot.

Irish Festival Pics

I went to the Colorado Irish Festival this past July and thought I would put a few of the pictures up from that trip. I would highly recommend going to anyone who can!

Tetons and Yellowstone

Well I finally got around to getting through the pictures I took while visiting the Tetons and Yellowstone, and these are probably my favorites. I wish I'd seen more wildlife but there was surprisingly little in the way of active fauna in the area (that I saw).

Jenny Lake Panorama

This is my first attempt at a panoramic shot. This was composed of 6 pictures I took at Jenny Lake in Grand Teton national park this past week. Let me know how you like it!

Hello from Wyoming

I'm coming back tomorrow but I couldn't resist posting this little guy I encountered while on vacation in Wyoming.

Antelope Island

It doesn't really look like it, but that really is an island.  The mud at the bottom of the picture should be water but the drought isn't doing the lake any favors.  

Playing with Lightroom

At the urging of a friend, I was convinced to try out Adobe Lightroom and I'm already really impressed by it. This picture is from my recent fall collection that I was just testing out in Lightroom. Yes, it's a preset but I think it looks rather sexy.

First Snow

We woke up this morning to our first valley snow of the 2008 season. It wasn't much but enough to coat everything in a clean, beautiful blanket of white.

Fall at Alta

Also took a couple of pictures at Alta ski resort, just outside of Salt Lake City.

Fall in Utah

Last week, I went for a drive through the Alpine and Nebo loops and caught some nice pictures showing off the fall colors. It ended up being a stormy day but being as high in the mountains as we were, it made for some unexpectedly nice views.
