Hard to believe another year has come and gone! I 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! www.rogersphotography.com/shop/ I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! . . . . . #iowa #ia365 #myiowa #all_iowa #ig_iowa #igersmidwest #midwest #midwestmoment #thisisiowa #traveliowa #rsa_sky #goneoutdoors #best9of2019 #jj_unitedstates #rsa_rural #ig_ruralamerica #rural_love #skyporn #countryside #ig_countryside #ig_masterpiece #jj_skylove #farm365 #countryliving #skylovers #renegade_rural #tv_landscapes #yearinreview #top9 #best9

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! 😂 f/5, 1/320", ISO 400 // Sony α7R IV + Canon 600mm f/4 . . . . . @midwestlivingmag #ia365 #ig_iowa #igersmidwest #iowa #iowa_views #midwest #midwestmoment #midwestlivingmag #photoarena #catchdsm #thisisiowa #traveliowa #ig_unitedstates #myiowa #theamericancollective #everything_imaginable #goneoutdoors #fullmoon #telephoto #moon #supertelephoto #seizedesmoines #nightsky #desmoines #desmoinesiowa #statecapitol #moonrise #sonya7riv #sonyalpha #teamcanon

We also completed the much easier hike along the S 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.

A few weeks ago it was a long but amazing 48 hours A few weeks ago it was a long but amazing 48 hours up on the North Shore. First day we took pictures all day and then for several hours after dark of the milky way because it was clear with no moon. Next day we went on two hikes after spending the morning at a water fall. Tons of pictures to sort through but here was one of the first stops and my first shot of Fall!

Not the greatest image due to low light and shooti Not the greatest image due to low light and shooting through a window, but now I can finally say A) I've seen a bobcat in Iowa and B) I've photographed a bobcat in Iowa! Thanks to a friend giving me a call, this was one of those situations where you drop everything and go! 3 bobcat kittens and 1 adult had cornered a groundhog in a culvert and no sooner than I arrived they had captured it and the one young kitten was able to feast. I found it odd that none of the others were participating in the eating but perhaps this was a lesson and the victor gets the spoils? If you look closely, you can see all 4 in this image.

I've been a pretty "lazy" photographer up until th I've been a pretty "lazy" photographer up until this point - most of my shots have come along the side of the road, etc. But northern MN makes you step up your game if you want to access some of the amazing vantage points, and the 6.5 mile out and back hike to Bear Lake is one of those spots!

Fortunately through photography, I've been able to do just that and visited this spot in Colorado on Wednesday. Crystal Mill is an 1892 wooden powerhouse located on the Crystal River - only accessible via high clearance 4x4 vehicles or a 9 mile round trip hike.
