http://www.dakotagraph.com/2015/05/throwback-thursday-bandit-run.html

Thursday, May 28, 2015. Throwback Thursday - Bandit Run. In the spirit of "you never know what you'll run across in South Dakota" I bring you this Throwback Thursday post of when I discovered the 2013 Bandit Run was at Mount Rushmore at the same time I was. The Bandit Run is an annual gathering of fans of the movie "Smokey and the Bandit". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Aberdeen Living Christmas Tree (1). Ardmore ghost town (1). Art of Place (1).

Dakotagraph: Getting the shot in high places

http://www.dakotagraph.com/2015/06/getting-shot-in-high-places.html

Saturday, June 27, 2015. Getting the shot in high places. Those who know me well know I'm not that fond of high places. Sometimes though you just have to go where the photos are. In the last few weeks I have flown in a helicopter and hiked to some steep spots to "get the shot." Here are just a couple examples. I'll live without that distinction on my resume. I would give directions to this, but I'm afraid I didn't keep track of exactly where in the canyon we parked and began the hike with a wade across S...

Dakotagraph: Drones are a hot topic

http://www.dakotagraph.com/2015/05/drones-are-hot-topic.html

Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Drones are a hot topic. I am fielding more and more questions about drone photography and where it is or isn't legal. While I haven't used one myself, I understand the excitement about the potential for photography from a height previously unobtainable to most of us. Parks and Recreation Magazine. Recently published a very good article about the use of drones in parks and other public spaces. If you have a drone or are considering purchasing one, I recommend reading this article.

Dakotagraph: National Geographic Traveller cover

http://www.dakotagraph.com/2015/01/national-geographic-traveller-cover.html

Wednesday, January 28, 2015. National Geographic Traveller cover. As long as I've been around photography and photographers the ultimate goal for most of us has been to shoot for National Geographic Magazine. Beyond that the ultimate goal is the cover of that magazine or any others for that matter. I can now say I've accomplished a version of that goal and it is a big thrill. My photo of Lakota Chief David Bald Eagle appears on the cover of the current National Geographic Traveller Australia/New Zealand.

Dakotagraph: Got a favorite autumn spot?

http://www.dakotagraph.com/2015/07/got-favorite-autumn-spot.html

Thursday, July 9, 2015. Got a favorite autumn spot? Okay Dakotagraph readers, I need your help. I know it is the height of summer, but I need some autumn ideas. I'm looking for recommendations for great places to shoot autumn colors this fall in Eastern South Dakota. The Japanese Gardens at Terrace Park in Sioux Falls has some interesting trees. If you go to the west bank across from the gardens you can get a wide view of them with the little island in between. Since the tree-pocalypse a couple y...Black...

Dakotagraph: Sioux Avenue Cruise Night underway

http://www.dakotagraph.com/2015/07/sioux-avenue-cruise-night-underway.html

Saturday, July 18, 2015. Sioux Avenue Cruise Night underway. As I type this, cars of all types are motoring up and down Pierre's main drag in the third annual Sioux Avenue Cruise Night and Hot Rod Hangout. Each year gets better as this event continues to grow in size and fun. There aren't many rules to the cruise. Any year and type of car is welcome, but it mainly brings out the hot rodders, classic collectors, tuner builders and customizers. It is a fun night of automotive artistry. Art of Place (1).

Dakotagraph: It's baby bird time in central South Dakota!

http://www.dakotagraph.com/2015/06/its-baby-bird-time-in-central-south.html

Monday, June 1, 2015. It's baby bird time in central South Dakota! It has taken a month of careful watching and waiting to capture this fun video. Mother robin first built a nest outside our kitchen window and left one egg in it before deciding our back deck would be a better spot for a nest. We've been watching four eggs for over a week now, and today we have babies! A GoPro camera run by remote control caught the first moments of one of the hatchlings' life. June 7, 2015 at 10:48 PM.

Dakotagraph: Always looking for new angles

http://www.dakotagraph.com/2015/06/always-looking-for-new-angles.html

Wednesday, June 3, 2015. Always looking for new angles. When I'm photographing a place I've been before I'm always looking for new angles. This window reflection was a fun way to combine Wild Bill Hickok and the columns on the historic Franklin Hotel in Deadwood in one shot. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
