Gracie and Zach and the Death of my Nikon D3.....

If there was any way for my Nikon D3 camera Shutter to finally take its last breath, then there was no better way to have it go while Photographing my Niece and Nephew. The kiddos like always are so much fun and we managed to get them ....(bribe them)...to stand still for 5 min. Big smiles on there faces, I snapped away with the Old Nikon D3, 70-200mm 2.8 and the Sigma 50mm 1.4 ART Lens. On the very last frame the shutter stopped and the good old Err. came up on the screen. I had been wondering about this moment for years. Thinking, will this shoot be the shoot? Oh well. She was a good camera while she lasted and her last images...I think, turned out pretty good!

Re-Edit Series

Re-Edit Series

Over the long winter months here in Montana, I decided it was time to go back into my hard drives, pull out some images and re-edit them. I wanted to see if I could look at these images differently and edit the series differently.

These images are from a 2012 backpacking trip to Peru. I had a Nikon D700 and 70-200mm 2.8 Lens with me. Hiking through the Mountains and towns.

Here are the re-edits:

Machu Picchu Panorama. Still one of the most amazing places that I have ever visted!

Meeker and her crown

Meeker and her crown

I snapped these images back in Aug of little baby Meeker Richie. She didn't seem to mind the bucket or wearing her wonderful Crown! Here is a selection of Images from that day!

Megan and June

Megan and June

Had a great Photo session with Megan and June, back in January 2016.  Shooting in a great location, we managed to capture some great moments! We stuck with mostly Black and White conversion for these images and then printed them onto Mat Canvas Paper. Overall, Megan and June are always fun to photograph and I look forward to our next shoot!

Final Fall Colours

Final Fall Colours

Here are a couple more shots from my fun trip to the Montana Bitterroot Valley and the last images of the beautiful Fall colours. Next time I head back there to visit, most of the tree's will of lost their leafs and the Yellows, Reds and Greens will have disappeared until next fall.

These images were taken on a variety of Cameras. Pentax 645z, Nikon D4s and the Nikon D800.
