Our newest rescue, Tucker. 6+ male, Golden Retriever seen being pushed out of a car way out in the mountains. He’s been a true gift to us.

This is Hallowe'en- a stray, Calico cat that stumbled in, more than half starved about a year ago. She LOVES to sit in boxes, bags, bowls, anythi

Our calico kitten, aptly named Hallowe'en, btw- trying to figure out exactly WHAT a jack-o-lantern is!

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo on my way to work just outside of Trout Creek, MT.

Time

It was in the Fall- probably around 7:15 am.

Lighting

We'd had our share of wildfires that year, so there was a good amount of smoke in the air. That always makes for the most spectacular sunsets and sunrises.

Equipment

I use an old Canon T3 DSLR- wide-angle lens that came with the camera- no flash, no tripod.

Inspiration

I'd been watching the sun start to peek over the mountains, and I realized this was going to be a spectacular sunrise. When I got to an opening alongside the river, I just pulled over to the side of the road, got out and snapped the photo. It was so incredibly beautiful, I couldn't let the moment pass.

Editing

I, often, use the sharpening tool in Adobe, but other than that, I did not do an post-processing.

In my camera bag

I carry very little in my camera bag. My normal wide angle lens, and a Macro lens- along with some sunscreen and chapstick! ;)

Feedback

I live in NW Montana. People ask me about my photos, and the honest answer is that this country is so incredibly beautiful and unspoiled, that gorgeous photos are a dime a dozen. Everywhere you look, there's an incredible photo waiting to be taken... just make sure you are looking.
