I'll start with my top ten and then a few honorable mentions (in no particular order):


Hoodoos lit by the last remaining hints of twilight as the stars come out above a remote New Mexico wilderness.

Clouds race by well after sunset in this long exposure taken in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

Star trail from under Delicate Arch in Arches National Park. A unique processing approach made the Milky Way pop from within the image.

Probably the most gorgeous supercell I've seen while chasing. This beast churned towards me while I captured a 200+ image timelapse of it.

The South Window in Arches National Park under a beaming Milky Way.

This was an incredible morning in the San Juan mountains. Fresh snow, cold temps, and a perfectly still pond.

One of the best aurora shows of the year. This was captured in Iowa, well south of where the auroras usually make an appearance.

Pretty cool wall cloud here! Right as this supercell started ramping things up, this wall cloud decended in a near-perfect cylinder from the base. A couple minutes later, it was spinning faster than just about any storm I've ever seen yet didn't drop a tornado with me being only a quarter to half mile away.

Another beautiful morning in the San Juan mountains.

Last but certainly not least in the top 10, a rare "self portrait" taken gazing up at the stars under Delicate Arch.

Honorable Mentions:

The dark skies in the Bisti Badlands are something to behold.

The mammatus of a passing storm light up at sunset. This was taken at Toadstool Geologic Park in northwestern Nebraska - an incredible area that is very, very rarely photographed.

Unique capstone rock formations in the Bisti Badlands.
