Canary Spring at Mammoth in Yellowstone, at sunrise. High on the Beartooth in Cooke City, MT now, and headed out on a trail up to the Beartooth Plateau, under gorgeous sunny skies with fresh breezes.
MJF Images Fine Art landscape, nature and travel images from the American West and around the world.
A photo & travel blog with a difference: Instead of strict focus on photo how-to, gear and the like, I'll pass on knowledge about the places and cultures photographed. I believe the more deeply you come to know a place, the better your pictures will be.
My past careers as science teacher and geologist mean that I can't help but teach about the natural history of photogenic places around the world. But photography is not forgotten. You'll also see practical tips about where and how to photograph the destinations. And once a week, Friday Foto Talk gives photography tips and how-to on a selected topic, for novices on up to expert.
What you won't find here is endless discussion about me braving dangerous weather, terrain or wild animals to get the shot. Nor will there be cheerleading gear talk or marketing pitches. I promise to leave that to other blogs, of which there are many.
Please don't be shy; your words are what makes my day!
