Just because it snowed for the first time this season doesn't mean it's "winter". Winter begins on December 21st. This is still in the middle of autumn.

Moraine Park - RMNP Moraine Park is a wide valley that was carved by glaciers ages ago which supports abundant wildlife including herds of elk in addition to a river running through. The valley is surrounded by the dramatic peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park.

Happy Fall Equinox! While it's been hot here in the SF Bay Area, I'm looking forward to the cool mornings of Fall and colorful foliage in the coming months.

Thoughts on photographing Mariposa Grove (Yosemite)? I'm going to a wedding in Oakhurst this fall and thought I might shoot the sequoias for my upcoming photo book.

Looks like @mattpaynephoto.bsky.social is crushing it on Kickstarter after just a few days. $350 left go before it reaches the goal.

My friend @mattpaynephoto.bsky.social has put several years of work into writing a book on his experience hiking the 500-mile Colorado Trail and climbing the highest 100 peaks in the Colorado Rockies. Check out his Kickstarter project: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mat...

Hot Creek - Eastern Sierra Used my 70-200mm to zoom past the tour group who went around the fenced off area and into my frame. www.rwongphoto.com/photo/hot-cr...

Haven't been flying much lately but completed my Part 107 recurrent exam with one day left. :-)

The light is more contrasty than what I would typically shoot but I thought this overall scene looked interesting.

I’m thrilled to announce that my book, The Colorado Way, is launching soon on Kickstarter. This project has been years in the making. It is a personal collection of essays and photographs drawn from my 500-mile hike of the Colorado Trail and a lifetime of climbing Colorado’s 100 highest mountains.

I was featured in and interviewed by The Vancouver Sun talking about why I love Vancouver. The article was published today: vancouversun.com/news/vancouv... #vancouver

I recently went on a morning hike on the Devil's Slide Trail just south of Pacifica. This used to be Highway 1 until 2013 when it was permanently shut down due to persistent landslides. Now there is a tunnel route that bypasses this section.

The description is correct. But that’s not my photo. Get it together Google.

I’m sorry but there’s only one “Real” Richard Wong Photography and he doesn’t live in New Zealand. 🇺🇸

I have to admit that Photoshop's Generative Fill is really useful for removing difficult dust spots and other undesirable aspects from the image.

People are not taking climate chnage seriously in the US but this could also be your house by 2050. www.wired.com/story/the-fi...

When a photo tour group comes barreling down the dirt road frantically and shows up a few min before sunrise, then leaves 10 min after, is that nature photography or trophy hunting?

I feel like most photographers I encounter in the field lack basic social skills. They’ll approach you and offer unsolicited advice talking at you as opposed to a two-way conversation. Lacking in social awareness. Hard to connect with people like that.

Would be nice to acquire this for public access! www.sfgate.com/northcoast/a...

Can someone explain to me what it means when the Save As TIF in Photoshop has the Alpha Channels button checked vs unchecked? #photoshop

Someone please help me understand. Most sites including the Canadian Parks site says there are four National Parks in the Canadian Rockies. Isn’t Waterton Lakes also in the Canadian Rockies? That would be the 5th by my count.

Looking at a folder of images from 2 years ago and can't remember making these images. I should probably review the images after shooting them next time.

Two more reasons why commercial social media sites suck for building your brand. Some moderator schmuck can be petty and ban you for no reason. Maybe a competitor or the moderator doesn't like asians, who the hell knows. My focus will ALWAYS be my website first and foremost. #freespeech

"Alaskan Summer" - it's sickening to think that a lot of politicians in the US may see a picture like this and think that mass real estate development and logging are better uses for our land than protecting it for future generations.

🤬 So Congress wants to sell off our public lands, strip funding from education and healthcare for the poor in order to cut taxes for billionaires & corporations and to fund ridiculous wars which benefit defense contractors. www.npr.org/2025/06/23/g...

This is a popular recreation area and free to access for all Americans - and if Utah's biggest asshole Sen. Mike Lee gets his way it will be potentially up for sale. Contact your senators/reps and demand they remove any and all public land sales from the proposed budget bill shorturl.at/6Uerk
