Skyline Arch in Arches National Park
Another image from an absolutely amazing trip to the Moab area. This shot was made at Sand Arch in Arches National Park. I used a Phase One IQ 180 camera and a new 28mm LS to create it. Using depth of field and selective focus I was able to keep everything sharp fro the foreground to the background. Add great light and it was not hard to get a good image. I used Capture One to add drama to the image and adjust the brightness of the tree trunk.
Fiery Furnace, Arches National Park
It’s been a good week in Moab. I was tagging along on workshops by workshops by Andy Biggs. We have been centered in Moab making excursions into Canyonlands and Arches National Parks. Both are amazing with spectacular overlooks and made for photographers. This shot was made an area called Fiery Furnace. I used a Phase One IQ180 and a 150mm lens to capture this shot. I ahve a few more images that will appear in coming days. This was just one of those moments where the right light and clouds just come together.
Arches National Park, Utah
I have been working at an Andy Biggs workshop the last few days. We have had the chance to shoot some very cool vistas. This one was done in Arches National Park near Skyline Arch. We were shooting the arch and went back to the cars the back way. And, turning the bend I saw this view. The detail is amazing as it was made with a Phase One IQ 180 and DF+ camera.
Skyline Arch, Arches NP, Utah
I am in Moab area tagging along at 2 workshops being lead by Andy Biggs. Andy a good friend and Phase One user asked if I could come to these workshops and let attendees experience Phase One cameras. This is a shot made at skyline arch today. I found a number of cool angles and made a few nice images. You can count on seeing more. This was shot with a Phase One IQ180 camera and 28mm LS lens. The detail in the file at 80 MP is astounding.
3 stitch pano in Arches NP, shot with a Phase One IQ180 and 240mm lens
I will be in the Moab area through Friday this week. I have been to Moab many times and it is a very cool areas for photographers to visit. Amazing how many are right now. My goal this trip is to shoot things differently. Like yesterday I shot everything with a long lens. The picture above was shot with the NEW 240mm lens from Phase One on a Phase One DF+ camera and IQ180 back. Absolutely amazing image quality. I will be shooting all week trying different lenses and or different angles to give me images that others don’t usually shoot or see. Game on.
You Can See For Miles, near Moab, UT
This is hot from one of the many overlooks in Canyonlands National Park, UT. I love exploring this area and it is only a short trip from Moab. If you hit it right and catch storms in the background, you’ll be blessed with incredible light and clouds. I hit it on a lucky day. Shot with an IQ camera on a ALPA Camera.
Dead Trees In A Field, Moab, UT
I love traveling the back roads. So, after shooting to my hearts content in Moab, I decided it was time to travel some back roads. These involved crossing over a few small mountains. This field we found doing this trip and the sun was beginning to set giving nice light. Shot with an IQ180 this image is super sharp and has great color tonal range.
La Sal Mountains, Utah
On a trip to Moab with a number of my photographer friends we took a four wheeler ride to the top of some very rocky hill and at the end we were given a contrasting and dramatic view of the La Sal Mountains that are quite visible from Moab. I like the way the foreground contrast with the distant mountains. Shot with a Phase One IQ180.
Canyonlands area near Moab, UT
This is a shot of the Canyonlands outside of Moab. This is a pretty typical shot and a lot of people could take this shot. Fortunately for me that day this storm rolled in and I was shooting from the same height as the storm and thus I had these cool grey clouds on the top of my image yet sunshine in the canyon. This is one of a series of very dramatic pictures taken during a 15 minute window of the storm. Sometimes you get your best pictures in not so desirable condition.
Canyonland, Moab Area UT

Arches
Near Moab Utah there are two incredible National Parks, Canyon-lands and Arches. In Arches there are some incredible views. This is one of them. I messed around with it in an program called TOPAZ and turned into a painterly look. Just something different and it looks cool.
Storm Coming, Moab, UT
One thing I really love about landscape photography is the magnificent sky. When all the elements come together to give yo that moment of light, clouds, and weather. This image was made near Moab, UT as a storm was approaching.
