Final results from the semester. 25 of my best.

ISO 400 200mm f/16 1/40 sec
I wanted to capture a goose this semester and capture a shot with reflection. I used these settings because it was good light and I wanted to get the most out of the photo. (lower ISO)
ISO 500 55mm f/18 1/50 sec
This photo was captured during the first storm of the year and I really enjoyed the color contrast between the red barn and white dusting of snow.

ISO 125 10mm f/3.5 1/1000 sec 
I used these settings because it was very bright out and I wanted to get a blurred background. And it was slightly windy hence the higher shutter speed.
ISO 100 24mm f/4.5 1/640 sec 
I just thought this tree was super cool. This tree had gone through a fire some years ago and I thought the view behind it along with the snow partially covering it was cool.

ISO 800 166mm f/16 1/100 sec
I really love waterfowl and thought this little group of mallards was super pretty on the water. Higher shutter speed because they were slowly swimming away and I had to bump up the ISO to capture the beautiful green of the Drakes.
ISO 1600 250mm F/14 1/80 sec
This whitetail doe was quite curious but I just thought she was super pretty in the lightly dusted trees.
ISO 3200 183mm f/16 1/500 sec
Another mallard drake with his landing gear set. Had to use a high ISO because of the super fast shutter speed.

ISO 200 250 mm f/5.6 1/500 sec 
One of my personal favorites. This big boy was quite a surprise while I was fishing the Madison river down by Ennis Montana. It was super sunny and he was constantly on the move so I used the certain settings listed above.


ISO 3200 10 mm f/8 4 sec
One of the night shots I attempted, nothing special but I seem to struggle just a little, but practice only makes you better.





ISO 1600 10 mm f/3.5 1/125 sec
I really love the detail of this shot. I wish I could've gone back and lowered my ISO some but I still managed to pull it off.



ISO 100 10 mm f/16 1/80 sec
Another beautiful view looking south towards the Pryor Mountains. It was a touch windy and I was shooting free hand so that is why I shot this at 1/80 of a second.


ISO 400 250 mm f/10 1/640 sec 
Late November in Montana always provides some awesome mule deer rut action. This mature Mule deer had his eyes set on a few does and was constantly running off younger competitors. Hence the 1/640 sec shutter speed.



ISO 160 250mm f/5.6 1/640 sec 
Another one of the moose but he finally decided to rest.


ISO 400 220mm f/16 1/320 sec
And the Mule deer buck.


ISO 1000 13mm f/22 1/40 sec
My buddies young 1.5 year old chocolate lab hunting birds this year.


ISO 2000 250mm  f/16 1/320 sec



ISO 1000 117mm f/16 1/60 sec
Beautiful sunset looking south west from Billings to the Beartooth Mountains.


ISO 1600 19mm f/16 1/500 sec 
Early fall colors from atop the rims overlooking Billings.
ISO 2000 250mm f/16 1/80 sec
Another mule deer buck checking out to see if love is in the air.

ISO 125 10mm f/7.1 1/320 sec 
Quite the tree I found on an evening hike behind my parents place.
IS0 800 10mm f/16 1/100 sec
A cold snowy morning with a an amazing sunrise.

IS0 400 250mm f/16 1/50 sec
A few more geese attempting to stay atop the ice.
ISO 320 14mm f/5.0 1/400 sec

ISO 800 180mm f/5.6 1/640 sec
And a couple more....



ISO 125 13mm f/4.0 1/400 sec

This photo was taken on a beautiful October dat while fly fishing on the Madison river south of Ennis Montana. This bull had no care in the world that I was about 80 yards from him. He actually put on a little show. Racking and thrashing the brush. I have never been this close to a moose besides being in YNP. And this is by the far the biggest bull moose I have ever seen. His beautiful black coat and near white legs made for some beautiful shots. I used this photo for my student art show submission.

August 30th Post

It was early spring of 2016 and my hunting buddies and I were headed on our annual trip into the Bob Marshall Wilderness with packs full of gear and high hopes of finding a few bears. As we trekked through the previous winters snow we crossed paths with old wolf, grizzly and some deer and elk sign. The first few days we didn't turn up any bears so we packed up camp and headed to a new location. About a mile from where we were camped we ran into this beautiful chocolate sow. She didn't really know what to think but never posed as a threat to me or my buddies. We stood around for a few minutes but I was able to snap this quick picture of her before we kept on.

And one company that really stands out in the video/photography world is DJi. They have made huge advancements on their drones over the last couple of years and continue to improve. Today August 23, they released the new Mavic 2 drones. The Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 zoom. These two new drones have increased video capability and camera options. A longer flight time and distance along with higher speeds. They also amped up there collision avoidance from only having front back and bottom to now having 10 sensors for all around collision avoidance. But enough with the specs, DJi has allowed photographers and videographers to do things that were never capable before. Now arial shots can be done almost effortlessly and it comes in a pretty small package but at a fairly costly price tag. I use the
