We carved these last night and had a lot of fun!

After an amazing meal in Crested Butte, my wife and I stopped to admire the moon and clouds a little way up Brush Creek Road. My hope was to shoot some new snow reflecting in the strong moonlight, but the light never got very string due to clouds.
I liked how this 30 second exposure of a passing car came out.

My son and I rode down to the W Mountain Ranch trail and went for a walk. Beautiful day!

Tulips on the counter

I liked the contrast and shadows here and had to get the camera out this morning.

In town at least. This has been a better than average year. Sometimes it all blows off in a day!

Winter approaches

A dusting on the peaks today tells me the change is upon us.

The day after

After that big storm there were lots of puddles making for some good reflection shooting.

Got the shot

I've been wanting to get a good lightning shot for a while. Tonight I got it from my porch with a 10 second exposure and my K-x/DA15 combo. Woo-hoo!

Blog engine upgrade

I've upgraded to a newer version of my blog software and I'm still working on some kinks.

Missing images should get fixed in the next few days as I have time. The good news is this new version is much better at identifying spam so I can make comments work again without being flooded with spammy comments.

Also, if you had bookmarked the old url with /Blogengine on the end, it's time to update that to just http://mattb.net (but you should get redirected if you use the old one).

Thanks for visiting!

It's good to be back


IMGP1512, originally uploaded by MattB (somedudeus).

After only a week in a hot, humid, yet overly air conditioned city it sure was nice to get out for a fun mountain adventure with my friend Steve yesterday.
We a 30 Mile, 5000+ Ft. ride up to Scarp's Ridge from his house. I had to stop for this reflection early in the ride - it was too nice to pass up!
This is Mt. Crested Butte reflected in Grant Lake.

From there we climbed and climbed up Elk Creek to access Scarp's Ridge from the South side. This involved some bushwacking but was worth it once we got up there. I'm pretty tired today!
