I went with a friend Beth and another photographer Jeffrey.
You can see Jeff’s work on flickr

All of my pictures from the event, keeping in mind I don’t know how to be selective are on SmugMug Gallery

I have set it up so the first 40 and then the first 80 are the ones that I prefer the most. So that way you don’t need to look at all of them.

We made 3 stops and throughout the canyon the fall colors were in various stages of brillance, but in most spots the trees were now devoid of leaves for the year… sad.

Lots of pictures of Aspens changing color

A Bunch of Pictures of the Storm Mountain area

I went crazy on taking pictures of this frost on the grass

Silver lake up at Brighton was partly frozen over.
This is where I actually placed the camera on the lake to take a few pictures.

The moon when we set off on our adventure was still full and hadn’t set yet.

I’ve never been out on a boat taking pictures but this was a blast. And I even bought a watertight bag to make sure my thousands of dollars of equipment is dry when needed.

Then i handed my bishop the camera and jumped in myself.
He has some training (I taught him a lesson a while back) and has used an SLR.
Besides I set all the settings and just said click away!

This is me… ummm… diving into the water. I totally meant to!

Me… I debated putting up the black and white because as you can tell from other pictures… look how blue the water is. It’s a very unique blue at bear lake. I’ve never been there before. Very nice.

One of my roommates went along as well. Jared

Here’s a series of more tubing pictures. Staring Marta. She’s a lot of fun and from Mongolia.
She’ll get upset that I’m putting so many pictures of her on the blog…. so that’s why I did it. To tease her, and because they turned out awesome!

What a cool shot! They were pretty far out there… that’s when the 200mm 2.8 comes in handy

This is where we camped… things were starting to get colorful up in Logan canyon.

Here’s one in the early morning

We weren’t able to camp too close to the cars… but there were little carts like this to facilitate things.

I’m very proud of my wonderful Costco Tent. It’s 2 rooms with a cool entry way canopy.
I’m not really the roughing it kind of camper. I like camping. I just like to have a lot of stuff with me.

Any camping event is not a success without a fire!

And then some crazy people decided to jump said fire.
Wait that’s me!

Others jumped it more often.

And we got a little carried away with piling wood onto the fire.
And yet sean continued to jump if we even mentioned it.

Just don’t land in the fire and you should be alright.

That’s my hand!

I found that when a fire is big enough it lets off a lot of light!

Fun subject and a good beard makes for a good portrait.

Football and a chinese hat… they go together don’t they?

Another picture of my fun Mongolian friend.
She taught me how to say “Your pants are on fire” in mongolian… but I’ve since forgotten.

I must learn that sometimes when they know you’re taking a picture the pictures can still be fun.

Tender moments.
It was mainly Young Single Adults… but sometimes you can’t go unless you bring your younger brother to babysit.

I love this picture because this was my bishop playing hearts with us. I got up and snapped a picture of the fun event. He apparently really really loves playing hearts. I should teach him the real partner game! Pinochle

Morning. Dousing the once-raging fire from the night before.

This is a picture of whatever you want it to be… I can’t really remember the moment that was going on here.
Looks good though.

Last weekend I traveled with 3 friends to Page, AZ

While there we visited Lake Powell hiked through a lesser slot canyon and did other smaller hikes around town.
Then on the way back to Provo we spent a few hours at Bryce Canyon National Park.

There are 4 galleries all require Flash to view.

Scofield State Park is mainly a fishing lake. There are a couple campsites and you can almost drive around the whole lake 25-30 miles around.
