In taking pictures of flowers lately, I've been reminded of how they look like fireworks. So here are some fireworks that remind me of flowers :)

Ridgeline Originally uploaded by Shutter McGavin. A change of pace. I've been posting flowers so here are some more mountains. I'll get back to the flowers later. This photo is of the back side of the Wasatch range looking west from a little place called Cascade Springs.

Red Originally uploaded by Shutter McGavin. I spent the weekend photographing flowers. It was both fun and educational. I feel as if I got some really nice shots. You be the judge.

A Tale of Two Valleys Originally uploaded by Shutter McGavin. It was the best of times... I loved this photo of a lush mountain valley. In the background you can see the lower valley floor. The air was crisp and clear. It was a great day.

Sundance Stream Originally uploaded by Shutter McGavin. The water was running very swift that day my friends. Like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli. Wait, or was the water running angry? Either way, it was very fast.Taken near the Sundance ski resort - Spring 2006.

Originally uploaded by Shutter McGavin. Again, I do love water photos. Although this time my target is a fountain. Rather than slow the shutter on this picture, I went with a faster shutter speed to stop the water in flight. The reflections, the mountains, and trees in the background all added a combination that I liked in this photo. I hope you like it too.Fountain was photographed in

Purple Petunia Originally uploaded by Shutter McGavin. I love the color in this photo. The greens, blues, reds, and pinks really bring this alive. Also, the sun was low in the sky and highlighted the petals facing west.

Heber Valley Originally uploaded by Shutter McGavin. This is a picture of the Heber valley. It was taken a few years back on a consumer digital camera. I love this area, it holds fond memories for me.

Rocky Falls Originally uploaded by Shutter McGavin. I loved this little stream as it hurried down the hill. It was small, I know, but where ever it goes the grass grows greener still. It was as if it was singing all the way. As you already know, I am a fan of slow shutter work. In this picture I like how the water was running over hard rock as opposed to the typical riverbed. Also the

Originally uploaded by Shutter McGavin. Saturday night I noticed a wonderful full moon. So this morning I woke up in the middle of the night to take some photos. I took 40 pictures, not everyone turned out like I'd hoped. Every experience teaches me more about what to try next time.Taken at 4:00 a.m. looking west toward Eagle Mountain.

The Swing Originally uploaded by Shutter McGavin. I went to a baseball game last night. No MLB in my neck of the woods, this was PCL (Pacific Coast League). Salt Lake Bees vs. the Colorado Springs Sky Sox. It was fun and I got a chance to try some action/sport shooting. This is the result, the classic batter's swing.Taken on July 6, 2006 at Franklin Covey Field.

New York Originally uploaded by Shutter McGavin. This is the United Nations building taken on a recent trip to New York City. Nothing much to say about the picture, but I liked the angle framing.

Originally uploaded by Shutter McGavin. For this year's Independence Day, we celebrated with some fireworks at Thanksgiving Point. This was my first time photographing fireworks. I tried to pick a vantage point above the action but I'm afraid I ended up too far away and didn't have a more powerful zoom. These are the studies that teach us for the next time, right?

Spring Runoff Originally uploaded by Shutter McGavin. There isn't any spectacular photo skills present in this picture, I just like the scene. The trees, the river, the hills in the background all combine to make a very serene setting. This is one of the reasons why I love Utah. Warm summer days, cool summer nights, and natural beauty in abundance. Just as easily, I could have

Originally uploaded by Shutter McGavin. Recently I aquired a F1.8 lens and thought I'd try some depth of field study. This was my attempt. I've come to find that the AF does not like to pinpoint focus on the stems or leaves of things. It always seems just a hair off one way or the other. Therefore, I have been trying to manually focus on the subject that I choose.I took the opportunity to

Sundance Stream Originally uploaded by Shutter McGavin. I've always loved slow shutter photography. The stream was running really fast due to the heavy spring runoff from late winter storms along the Wasatch front. I was amazed how strong the current was and thinking that I didn't want to fall in.This picture was taken near the Sundance Resort (Robert Redford) in the Provo Canyon area of

Wasatch Mountains Originally uploaded by Shutter McGavin. I took this photo in the winter of 2005. It was a pretty day, party cloudy but mostly clear. I really liked how big these trees were and the natural "flocking" the snow provided. Location for this shot was near the top of Daniels Canyon, Utah.

Aspens in the sunOriginally uploaded by Shutter McGavin. I have loved photography for more than 20 years. After a very long hiatus, I am trying to return to that which I enjoy. Please travel with me on that return trip. As my skills improve, please be patient and enjoy the journey.This picture was taken on a beautiful weekend drive through the Uintah mountains of Utah.
