Here are some of my favorites so far...
Day 1, on the way up to Cloud's Rest. I really wanted an escalator here:

Not magic hour. Blue hour! 8 sec exposure about half-hour before sunrise:

You know it's going to be hail when it looks like this. Was that .7 oz/sqyd cuben fiber tarp a mistake?

Beautiful Marie Lake. The sun is barely up and the lake is still in blue shadow:

And two not yet on my website...
I may have carried a 24oz. f/1.4 lens the whole 220 miles for this one shot. Was it worth it?

Bighorn Plateau was just astounding! Not nearly done with this area:
