Every image featured on this site is captured with the Pentax K-1 Mark II—a full-frame, professional-grade camera that delivers stunning clarity, depth, and color. As the foundation of my fine art photography, this camera handles the extremes of the Colorado landscape with ease. Whether I’m shooting sunrise over the Rocky Mountains or chasing starlight in alpine meadows, its built-in image stabilization and low-light performance make it the perfect match for the diverse and dramatic scenery of Colorful Colorado Photography.

For most of my work, I rely on the Pentax 28–105mm lens, a flexible and reliable companion for everything from sweeping mountain vistas to detailed forest textures. When capturing wildlife or distant peaks in the Colorado Mountains, I use the 150–450mm telephoto lens, which allows me to reach across valleys and bring faraway subjects into sharp, stunning focus. These lenses are essential tools in my creative process—helping me tell the story of the land through every frame.

I also use a variety of lens filters to enhance and control the light in the field. Polarizing filters reduce glare and boost contrast in skies and foliage, while neutral density filters allow for long exposures that smooth water and clouds, creating that soft, painterly effect seen in many of my fine art landscape photography prints. These tools help transform real moments into timeless artwork.
