A Little High Speed Fun

It wouldn't be the holidays without a little high-speed fun, right?

A Bit Of Macro

I played around with the MP-E65 Macro lens today.  Always a good time.

A Wander Around The Utah Desert

While my friend Dale was in town, I took a day off of work and we headed out to the west desert to see what we could see.  It was a beautiful day with a ton of photo ops.  I need to do this again.

Painting At The Tunnels

A few weeks back, my friend Dale was in town.  One of the nights he was here, I took him out to the Sun Tunnels for some stars and some light painting.  We picked a great night to go as the skies were nice and clear.

Of all the times I've been to the tunnels, this was the first that I have ever ran into anyone out there.  When we got there, we found that Heiko was there and had made camp for the night.  Heiko is on the tail end of riding his motorbike around the world.  At this point, he had done somewhere north of 65,000 miles.  We had a great time spending a few hours with him under the stars.  You can read more about his adventure here: http://www.notchtheworld.com/index.php/de/

Here's the three of us.

 This is a stack of a whole bunch of images.  I forget how many.

Just Playing

The other morning, I joined a couple of friends to head out and spend a bit of time with some wild horses.  It took us a little bit to find them, but in the end, we found them and had a great time.  I've still got a ton of images to work through, but it's going to be a bit before I have time, so here's a few to get things started.  These two youngsters had a good time pestering each other.

A Few Stars

Another advantage of our new home: we are further from the light pollution of SLC and Ogden, so it doesn't take much to get far enough away to get in a few sots of the stars.  This is about ten minutes from my house, shot the other night when my friend, Dale was in town.

A Few Of The Locals

One thing I've discovered about our new home is that we have a good collection of bugs.  Lots and lots of bugs.  I happen to have access to the Canon MP-E65 lens right now which allows me to get in really close.  Oh man this is a lot of fun.
