I'm taking one of these shots for reference for a painting sir. The red one is absolutely gorgeous and will fit into my current series beautifully.

@chickenman you guys get some nice colors up that way! Real similar to what we get down here in NM. But you're also considered high desert where you're located, correct?

i dont remeber if i posted these, i downloaded these off my facebook so they lost a little resulution

Here are some typical fall shots from 2014. Not my work. Pilfered from a local news site of viewers pics. But just to give you a sense of what I wake up to most days.

Heres one from me MN fishin trip in July

Here is a pic I took on a road trip in 07 off the Oregon coast. If memory is correct it was around the Haystack Rock area. As you can see it was very early in the evening. The colors later must have been spectacular.!!!

WOW.... very nice

Lovingthesetsguys!

Here's a few more from the sunflower field. I learned a valuable lesson that day, after I loaded the pics on my computer I noticed when I had the camera up high on the tripod the field of flowers looked flat. The couple pics where the camera was at flower height on below the flowers looked much more 3D.
had great cloud formation and color that night but my composition was under par and next time it will be right.
I returned a week after this with hopes of more luck but the California wildfires made the sky an even blow out with no detail.ill post so of those too

Nice as always guys . @GrowGod Man thats some serious Sunflower Action.. lol

Have hiked all of that ridgeline from the tram also San gorgonio from ten thousand foot ridge down into whitewater,before the nature conservancy got whitewater canyon i would hunt from the top down,wild country,Giant oak trees and bears in hell for sure canyon,as remote as it gets in socal.

When I moved to Texas, my boss tells me "Welcome to the real big sky country." All I did was laugh. They don't have sunsets like this out there in the oil patch. Should dig up some of the shots from the different locations I have though.

Decided to dig em up now anyways.

This is a shot of the moon taken one morning on the way to location.


Sunrise on the oil patch.


Bit later the same day, closer to location. This is out northeast of Midland nearly to Abilene.


This is what is called a Swab Rig. We pulled fluid off of gas lift wells as well as cleaned up after frac jobs and conversion jobs. Was also the rig I learned how to drive a 13 speed in. See those mounds that look like they're lines with plastic? Those are the largest unspoken environmental disaster of the oil industry aside from the spills out in the ocean. These pits wind up filled with fluids used during fracturing and left to evaporate or leak out into the soil, forever damaging the area. #1 reason I quit that job. Great money if you can get over the moral hurdles.



And for those of you who have didn't know this is what legitimate crude oil looks like. The yellow portion is crude oil that has a good concentration of petroleum distillates in it. The bottom section is a mixture of brine and acid used during a frac job. This stuff caused me to develop eczema on my hands from constant exposure. Great stuff to start fires with, very very volatile.

Tonight's sunset in the Gunnison Gorge...
