This image shows the landscape of a small, rural town, up in flames, taken 7-29-2020

This abandoned farm building very nearly looks like a decaying ship sailing on seas of grass.

This portrait pulls inspiration from old Marlboro ads and cinematic work like "No Country for Old Men" and "Dallas Buyers Club"

This building was made by the pioneer settlers of Utah.

Long exposure at night of the Yuba Lake waterfalls. Shot on Fujifilm.

Parked on the side of the lonely roads of the Utah deserts

As the nine-mile reservoir slowly dried up during 2018, the aquatic birds who spend so much time there began swimming laps around the edge.

This Mayfield farm is littered with decaying rural ruins.

The father-daughter dance part of a wedding can be really special stuff.

The setting sun casts golden light on the clouds and farm equipment rusting quietly after the harvests.

This self-portrait uses stroboscopic flash to create the dual exposure effect in a single image, without any "built-in" double exposure func

Ephraim City, Utah did fireworks to celebrate the 2020 grads, and this is them :) Shot on Fujifilm

This image uses exposure blending with multiple frames taken over hours to merge day and night.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in the very small rural town of Mayfield, Utah. Much of the town is made up by farmers, ranchers and the like. Silos and wheel lines pop up at every turn. Its quaint, and cold, during winter.

Time

These were taken in the last fading light of a late-winter evening drive. Utah's winters are cold, and often overcast, but the weather was working some magic on this evening, and to think I very nearly did go out!

Lighting

Sunset's last rays is what I prefer, and it is what I got for this shot. The snow on the ground reflected plenty of light back up onto the scene, mitigating deeper shadows.

Equipment

This was a handheld shot, on the Fujifilm xt20, using the Rokinon 12mm lens.

Inspiration

Cabin fever gets to me real bad during winter. So often I never get to go out and shoot at all during Utah's cold winter months. I saw out my wind that a fleeting window of good light was coming, and I didn't want to waste it.

Editing

Some adjustments to clarity and white balance in Lightroom is the extent of my editing.

In my camera bag

I carry a full fuji kit. XH1, XT20. For glass I bring along a 12, 16, 35, and a 50-230. I often have my tripod, but rarely use it during the day except for a long exposure. I also bring along my Parrot Anafi, my faithful hiking drone. Not much I can't do with this kit.

Feedback

This kind of image comes from scowering the countryside to find the subject material. I look high and low, near and far. I look for decaying things, and then shoot them when the light is good.
