So, yesterday I published a scene taken at sunset. Here is the same scene with a slightly different angle after the sun went down and the moon came up. This will be the last of this location. Tomorrow we move on to other dolomite locations.
The light and clouds keep blessing u this week. Last night we had another excellent evening with the moon to make for some marvelous images. The PODAS workshop week continues and we are having a blast shooting a lot of different locations. I am too tired to even download images tonight but will try to catch up tomorrow. Hope you enjoy this image.
Some things here in the dolomites are too hard to describe. It’s all rather post cardish and just plain pretty. Like this image. Here is a church with these great mountains as a background and beautiful skies to go with it. These images are all being made as part of the Phase One PODAS workshop presently going on. We will be shooting through Saturday so expect more images.
For the last few days we have been blessed with amazing light and clouds. This makes for some great early morning and late shooting. we are typically leaving at 5AM and coming back by 9:30. Then, we leave again around 3:30 and return around 9PM. It’s all about getting the shot. Once again for this shot I stretched it a bit but made an image with impact. I guess I am going through a phase . This was shot after the sun went down and the sky took on an amazing after glow.
I am awed by what I am seeing and photographing. I usually plan to come back from a trip with maybe 3-6 keepers and I have 15 already and it is just the second day. The Dolomites is just spectacular. Here is a shot that was part of a half hour series. The clouds and light evolved with every minute. I love this one because I cover more of the immense size of this landscape and was able to include something in the foreground. We are going to this location for sunrise in the morning. Watch for more.
Today we set the room up and prepped for the upcoming PODAS workshop here in the Dolomites. We shot at many locations today and I’ll post other images in the coming days. This image which I will call after glow was photographed at sunset. It was an amazing journey of light as it played off the mountains across the valley. Earlier the mountain generated some lenticular clouds that were incredible. Tomorrow (sunday) we pick up the attendees in Milan and get this workshop rolling. More images to come.
I am in the dolomites, Italy for a week leading a Phase One PODAS workshop. The weather today was beautiful and yielded this picture postcard definition of what the Dolomites is all about. expect to see plenty more as we get deeper into our week of shooting this amazing landscape.
This Polar Bear is at the edge of the Arctic Ice pack. Where does he go next? I think ti is kind of a symbolic image of the challenges the Polar Bear faces today. I love the bird in the shot.
I saw this while we were cruising in Zodiacs along a face of a glacier in Svalbard, Norway. This shows sediments that over the ages has seeped into the glacier. I loved the stark contrast.
This shot was made in Svalbard Norway on my recent Arctic Adventure. we were cruising this bay where a few glaciers were ending. Also, we were searching for Polar Bears. When we cruised by tis piece of ice in our Zodiacs, I had to ask the driver to go around a time or two. I finally saw the image in my viewfinder and fired away. I think I captured the essence of the iceberg as well as the big glacier behind it with the kind of light that we were experiencing at the moment. I really like this one.
