6 years ago today (7-11-19) I captured this image on my way home from work. I just got off a 12 hour nightshift and noticed a large sun halo on the horizon. I pulled over by this sprouting grain field and snapped a few pics. It is one of my favorite photos I've taken, and it's the only time I've seen Sundogs outside of the winter season! I titled this photo "Summer Sundogs".

Sundogs are created by the refraction of light through ice crystals in the atmosphere. This phenomenon can happen any time of year, but is most common in the winter. This is the only time I've seen a sun halo like this in the summer!

If you're interested in using this scene as decor in your home or office, prints can be purchased from my website here. https://lightsoutimages.co/products/summer-sundogs

Incredible fireworks display at Waters Resort on Independence Day!!! The owners of Dakota Waters Resort and their employees are wonderful people. Great food, great drinks, great company. If you're ever on the south shore of Lake Sakakawea in Mercer County, be sure to pay them a visit!

This is a time-lapse of the June 27 tornado near Hannover ND. Watch this video a few times focusing on different areas of it. Obviously the funnel is going to draw your attention, but watch the clouds around it and note how they move in front of and behind the funnel. There are likely some fancy words to explain this all, but I'm not a weather guru!

Approximately 460 photos were used to make this video. Photos were taken south of Center ND.

Hannover ND 6-27-25 | It can be quite the chore to safely and successfully photograph storms. Having many types of radar and maps available at your fingertips is a huge bonus. However, these digital gadgets distract you while driving. Thankfully my wife Dust & Drift Snapshots was with me on this day. She watched the radar and did the navigating while I drove. She landed us south of Center ND where we were able to watch this event unfold from beginning to almost the end. I say "almost" because the hail started to hurt and we had to get back in our vehicle. As we drove back to the highway we met at least a half dozen vehicles with dash cams and weather stations hanging off their roofs. Most of them had out of state plates. They were all storm chasers of some sort. We chuckled because they were about 30 minutes late. You can't beat a couple of small town kids when it comes to navigating the backroads of ND šŸ˜…. I don't like these things and the damage they leave behind, but its a bit of a "rush" to get out and try to photograph them.

More of the big, beautiful, Canadian Rockies! had me shooting with my long zoom lens to capture the all the peaks and valleys within the mountain range. This is something I'm not used to doing back home, and it has gotten me out of my normal style of shooting.

More from Canada! Morning sunrise over Herbert Lake in Alberta was smothered by a blanket of clouds. I used a ND filter to limit the amount of light entering the camera and allow for a long exposure photo. This is what makes the clouds looks as if they are moving across the sky. This photo does well in color as well as black & white. Which variation do you like better?

This morning we woke up at 2am to make the sunrise at the Moraine Lake in Banff National Park. With flashlights in hand, guided us to the PERFECT location along the famous lake. Here is a teaser shot my wife took of me while setting up to shoot the sunrise. More photos to come of this amazing location!

I packed my bags and headed north. I am spending the week near Banff Alberta with my wife. We are tagging along with Dani of . She is sharing her knowledge of photography with me, as well as giving a guided tour of beautiful Canadian Rockies. What more could I ask for?

Today we visited several locations along the Icefields Parkway near Banff Alberta. This photo was taken near Bow Lake this morning. It was cloudy and cold, but we made the best of it. There was a thin layer of ice on the shallow water, and it even snowed for a bit! Nothing new for this North Dakotan, but ITS JUNE!!! šŸ˜

I'll be here all week, converting KPH to MPH, Celsius to Fahrenheit, and taking more photos. Stay tuned for more!

I went out looking for Northern Lights last night. I drove for a long ways to get out of cloud cover. The hills started getting a little larger than I'm used to seeing in western North Dakota..... šŸ§
