In September we drove to Colorado for USDAA Nation Dog Agility Championship. We spent five days in Denver and then a second week traveling western CO taking Fall photos. We missed the peak of the fall colors by a week or two but we still got some wonderful photos and had a great time!
This photos photo is from Oxbow bend in the Grand Tetons. The misty look is from smoke from all the forest fires that were burning in the area.
This is the classic shot of the Molton barn on Mormon row. Didn't have the best weather but I did what I could.
After the weather didn't cooperate for the Molton Barn, I turned around and took some colorful photos of the sun rising.
At the USDAA Nationals, they also had a Splash Dogs competition where dogs try to jump as far as possible while jumping into water. Very fun to watch!

We went to Arches National Park on the way home.
Turret Arch through the North Window
Balanced Rock
I wanted a star trails photo in one of the arches but the clouds ruined that so I tried to get a cool night shot with the clouds.
I love this book. It is the best photography book I have read on photo lighting, ever. Joe McNally has a no nonsense way of communicating what is important for specific lighting scenarios. He has some more recent books as well but this is the one I like the best.
