Basilica

I spent 10 days recently in Tuscany. You have seen some of the images. There are more to come. After the PODAS workshop I was leading I spent a day in Rome with Art Wolfe doing a day in Rome photography. one of the places we visited and it was a very inspiring visit was to the Basilica. This is one of the most incredible building I have ever seen. I was immediately dropped into a Dan Brown novel as I toured this spot. This is one of the images I made looking up at the center of the building. Everywhere you looked there was symbolism and art. Just fantastic.

Opera House

When I was in Sydney last month I would go out every morning before breakfast and just do street shooting. On two of those mornings it was foggy. Fog and rain always lend a different look to the city. This is an image I made showing the famous Sydney Opera House. The fog changed the look. The person added something to the shot. Made with a Fuji X1-Pro and a 55-200 zoom.

Foundation

Ever wonder what holds up the great Sydney Bridge? this is an image of one of the four footings. Can you imagine the size of the wrench needed to tighten these big nuts? Actually I like the geometry and feel of this. Sometimes man made things are so much fun to shoot images of.

I’m Back, So Let’s Get Going Again

I have returned from an amazing trip in the Kimberley, Australia. This was an incredible area of magnificent beauty. The trip was aboard the True North a small and very cool cruise ship designed to explore this area of the world. We also had a helicopter on board that allowed us access to areas no one else could get to. So over the coming days you’ll be seeing some images from this trip. Today’s image was made in Broome, Austrailia before we started the trip.

And This Was Just This Morning

So what did you do this morning? On this PODAS workshop during the morning of June 4th we woke up for a sunrise shoot as the True North cruised the Prince Regent River. We had coffee the Eggs Benedict on the bow of the ship. Then we turned a corner and saw these amazing waterfalls the King Cascade. The Captain then drove the boat into the falls and anyone that wanted to and there were a number of hearty souls were able to take a falls shower. Of course we had the Phase One cameras and waterproof housing as well as a lot of people taking photos of us. It was a blast. Then we got into the tenders and some people climbed to the top of the waterfalls and others went ashore to shoot the waterfalls and some of us went crocodile hunting (photography wise). That was followed by morning tea with tasty scones. Then some went on the helicopter to shoot rock art, and some went fishing. And, all of this was before lunch. What an incredible trip so far. What amazing images all of us are getting. Lots of fun. And now it is lunch time.

Looking Up At Church

While visiting Tuscany I loved visiting churches. These are usually very old structures and they have some very unique settings. This is a church I visited in a small village that had the crucifix hanging from the ceiling. And, when you looked up you got an incredible backdrop.

Siena Pano

The Cathedral In Siena, Tuscany region of Italy

During our PODAS photography workshop in Tuscany we did take time to visit villages and cities so we could get a real feel of the Tuscany Landscape. One of these cities is Siena an absolutely beautiful old city that has a giant square or plaza. They are famous for the cathedral there as well as horse races. The above image was made by taking a number of images with the Fuji Pro X 1 and stitching them together.

A Bit Of A Different View

A few posts back I published an image of the Bean in Chicago. I was there on a walk about with my son Scott. I was looking to see and shoot something different and I asked Scott to pose. Here is the result. Kind of different and I toned the image a sepia color to add to the image overall. I like it and it makes you stop and look.

Chicago Bean Done Different

I love Chicago. So much to do and as a photographer, I love wandering the streets doing street photography as we would call it. Earlier this week I wandered the streets with my son Scott. We met for breakfast but did a walk about first. We ended up at the famous Chicago Bean. Now, this location is iconic and everyone comes here and shoots this massive reflective bean. I love coming to these places and challenging myself to see differently. THus the shot above. If you look and play you can come up with an image that not many others may have. It helped too that is was early and not too many people were there. We actually had the bean to ourselves. Made with a Fuji X-Pro and 18-55mm lens.
