Landscape, Nature And Travel Photography

Photography By Jim M. Goldstein

Glacier Moonset, Glacier National Park

Glacier National Park in Montana is a location I’ve always been able to travel to with a virtual guarantee of finding a quiet place to soak in Mother Nature’s very best. The incredible snow covered peaks and cliff walls of Glacier National Park are incredibly beautiful and awe inspiring. The light and wind constantly transform [...]

JMG-Galleries Best Photos of 2009

In 2009 I was very fortunate to have had some incredible photo opportunities. Selecting my best photos from this past year was much more difficult than choosing my best photos of 2008 and 2007. After taking the time to review the best of the tens of thousands of photos I took this year I narrowed [...]

First Light at Two Medicine Lake, Glacier National Park

You know that feeling when you were a kid on Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanza/<insert holiday here> morning and you were up before everyone else waiting in anticipation to get/open your gift(s)? While visiting Glacier National Park earlier in the year I had that feeling every morning. Much like Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanza/<insert holiday here> morning I woke up too early on [...]

Sinopah Mountain Reflected in Two Medicine Lake

This photo of Sinopah Mountain Reflected in Two Medicine Lake epitomizes the “take your camera back out” moment. While this photo was taken with in the window of the “Golden Hour”, Mother Nature had one last surprise for me… after I put my camera equipment away of course. Before this photo was taken clouds had [...]

Impact in the Details

Scale and perspective are fascinating components of photography. They can be used to create optical illusions, disorient a photographer through abstraction and create visual impact.  Are the flowers in the following photo the size of a coffee cup or of a thimble?
In this instance the clusters of flowers are smaller than a thimble.  These alpine [...]

Glacier National Park – Between Acts

The magic of Glacier National Park is that its bigger than life beauty is seemingly presented like acts of a play. Through out the day or sometimes slowly over several days various acts are revealed.  Most know Glacier from its iconic sun kissed glacially carved peaks and valleys (see Swiftcurrent Lake Panoramic, Glacier National Park), [...]

American Black Bear (Ursus americanus) Eating Dandelions

I’m not much of a breakfast person, but this American Black Bear certainly was into his/her breakfast. It seemed to be having a good time foraging for food and eating large mouthfuls of Dandelions. It is always great to see a healthy and happy bear being a bear and not a nuisance. Fortunately this bear [...]

Sinopah Mountain Reflected in Two Medicine Lake at Sunrise

A bad day at Glacier National Park is better than my best day in so many other locations. The landscape of Glacier is beyond description and even a panoramic photo such as this, of sunrise at Two Medicine Lake, can’t truly do it justice.
I woke up an hour too early to watch and photograph sunrise [...]
