Last Light on Fannette Island
I had this shot in mind for a while, having skied to this vantage point many times in the past, then dropping in on the other side of it. Example from 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfNS4j7OwUE The moment I set out to capture was the very last light of the day hitting Fannette Island, with fresh snow in…

Calm Before the Storm
Calm before the storm … it truly felt like spring the past few days with minimal wind and warm daytime temps. These were some of the views I enjoyed while touring around with Echo. The snow was soft and wanting to transition into corn, but did not quite get there. Still, I enjoyed some nice turns that…

Looking towards the Crystal Range just Before Sunset
Yesterday’s view of the Crystal Range (Desolation Wilderness) in the distance before riding back down at sunset.

Backyard Visitor
Summer has arrived and bears are active in the Sierra Nevada mountains. It was nice to photograph this yearling black bear for a bit using my 200-600mm lens as he explored a riparian area near the Upper Truckee River. While it appears he looked right back at me in one image, he showed no signs…

Tahoe Backcountry Storm Day Shoot w/ Skier Ty Dayberry and Savannah Amos (5D Mark III, GoPro 4)
After digging out our own parking spot in the Sno-Park we started our tour, skiing past cabins that were almost completely buried. We began in t shirts, enjoying the warm sun and becoming skeptical of what kind of snow conditions we would encounter. Once we got to the ridge line we found ourselves in winter…
