Tonight I practiced social distancing by photograp

Tonight I practiced social distancing by photographing this couple riding horses from nearly 1/3 mile away as the full moon rose over the horizon. Super telephoto full moon shots are my favorite! (Focus stacked to bring out detail in the moon - no way to get everything in focus in one shot due to the severe compression). f/5, 1/250", ISO 400 // Sony α7R IV + Canon 600mm f/4

I cannot find a barred owl nest to save my life. The real pandemic right now is RACCOONS! Of the 6 trees I identified as good barred owl nest cavities, a raccoon occupied every single one! At least this one posed for me I guess - the rest didn't even bother to wake up.

It finally happened! Only took 2+ years after moving near a wooded area to finally get a "backyard owl" shot. This lovely barred owl posed nicely at sunset this evening and allowed me to get a few shots before moving on with its' evening hunt. Now if only he'd move into the owl box I have out and kick out the squirrel that's currently living in it!! f/5.0, 1/800", ISO 2000 // Sony α7R IV + Canon 600mm f/4

2020 has been rough. Last night it was so nice just to get outside, get away from the news and get off of social media. Owl therapy was just what I needed - and the fact that I saw two great horned owls was a bonus! Had I not heard the two calling back and forth I would've never seen them, let alone located the nest. Been awhile since I found one....looks like I need more social distancing in my life! 🙂 f/5.6, 1/640", ISO 1600 // Sony α7R IV + Canon 600mm f/4

In today's episode of "office owls"... a friend texted me a picture to confirm the identify of this long-eared owl. It was 15 feet up in a tree that was maybe 30 feet from the front door of a business. People came and went as did the cars and the only care in the world it had was the red-tailed hawk patrolling the area... (Polk County, IA)

Not gonna lie, as soon as I heard where this owl was in downtown Des Moines I had to go see it in order to believe it. This barred owl was roosting in such a small courtyard area smack dab in the middle of an urban environment. Pretty cool! But after all I guess they were here first 🙂 And the falling snow sealed the deal for me!

Throwback to the time I was walking the trails looking for barred owls and one landed on a branch right above me and started vocalizing. It was such an epic experience - I even captured video of it! Polk County, 2016.

Hard to believe another year has come and gone! I didn't get out as much in 2019 as I would've liked (and for that I apologize!) but being a dad is pretty great too. Let's just hope he grows up fast and can go on photography adventures with me soon 🙂 In the meantime, here are the Top 9 most popular images of 2019 based on your "likes" and feedback. While I didn't post as many images as in year's past, I still had over 50,000 "likes" on those images which is pretty astounding to me! I really appreciate all of the support, comments and shares. I never would've thought that images I've taken would end up on the cover of magazines, being shown in art galleries and hanging up in homes/businesses.

Also, thank you to everyone who purchased the Iowa Landscapes and/or Iowa Owls 2020 calendar. With the new printing system I'm using, I'm unable to see the names of the people who ordered them so I don't know who you are but I appreciate you! They are still for sale (as well as my photography book) so there is still time to pick one up. I'll do my best to get some new content for next year to have some fresh images available for the 2021 calendar!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

In honor of our state's 173rd birthday, I've created a mosaic out of nearly 200 landscape, cityscape and wildlife images I've taken over the past few years. Iowa became the 29th state on December 28, 1846. Happy birthday to our beautiful state!

Full disclosure - often times things don't go as p

Full disclosure - often times things don't go as planned when it comes to photography (and life I guess!) There is only 1-2 times per year that the full moon lines up with the capitol and I set out to capture that tonight as it was SUPPOSED to be clear. Well wouldn't you know that when it was game time there was a thin strip of clouds that ran right smack through the moon as it rose through the capitol. So, I took another shot about 5 minutes later when the moon was fully visible and had to merge the 2 files together. Most will yell "PHOTOSHOP" when they see this image and you're partially right - I did had to do some photoshopping to make my vision come to life. But the moon was not enlarged in any way - I was roughly 5.5 miles away from the capitol so the moon looks much larger to its surroundings when there is that much distance between you. Super telephoto moon shots are fun but they are hard to pull off because it seems like the moon and stars have to line up for them to work! 😂

We also completed the much easier hike along the Superior Hiking Trail up to Oberg Mountain (albeit on the same day as the Bean/Bear Lake hike!) It's neat getting up above the color and looking down on lakes nestled into the Minnesota "mountains". For some reason this vantage point reminds me of the colors and shape of the Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone. Image taken 9/24.
