San Diego

“America’s Finest Evening” is one of my babies from my portfolio. This area in La Jolla is where I taught myself how to photograph. It’s being donated to a fantastic charity that offers support to grieving children and their caregivers. We like to work with charities, so keep us in mind if you’re ever looking for donations.

Bird Eye View

It seems like just yesterday Julie and I were enjoying a typical evening walk at the beach. Since I pretty much have the coolest wife ever who puts up with a geeky husband who drags a camera and tripod everywhere. This image was taken Ocean Beach, California 2009.

Kauai

Dear Kauai it’s been so long since I’ve seen you. I miss your colors, your vibe, beaches, sand, trails, lifestyle and primo. You were good to Julie and I, take care and hopefully we see you soon. This Image was taken about 35 minutes before sunrise. If you look closely to the middle left, the reflection on the water is a jogger.

Sandhill Cranes

If you’ve experienced the Sandhill Cranes in Western Nebraska this time of year, you get it. If you haven’t, do yourself a favor and try it once. I’m not a bird photographer and have no desire to become one.However, seeing the Sandhill Cranes at dusk circling the Platte River is just plain insane. My suggestion to you is call the Rowe Sanctuary or Alda Nature Center and reserve a time in the morning or evening to sit in a duck blind. The cost is around $25.00, which gives you about 3 hours. The blinds are big and can hold 20-30 people.

Bring binoculars, warm clothes and a camera. Note to Camera geeks, you’ll want to have a lens that is at least 200mm-500mm and a monopod is helpful.

Scott Papek Limited Edition Print Release “ZENITH”

Scott Papek Limited Edition Print Zenith, White Sands, New Mexico

Scott Papek Photography is proud to announce another limited edition print to the family.  Let’s welcome, “ZENITH”. Zenith was captured in the White Sands Park in New Mexico at 5:43 AM.  On this morning I had set up an early arrival with the Game and Parks.  You pay them $50.00 an hour and they open the gates for you at any time.  The hike to my scouted location was 1.1 miles with the help of my Garmin hand-held GPS.  It’s easy to get disoriented when you are surrounded with white rolling hills and on top of that throw in complete darkness!
I adore Zenith and, hopefully, you do too.
