Palouse Patterns

Palouse Patterns

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ME!  I love to celebrate another year of life and living my passion and dream.

I have been accumulating a lot of images these last few months.  I have enough to get me through nearly a half year of blogging.  I am about to start researching and redesign of my web site.  Looking at a few different options.  Either way I am going to also start to play with 500px so expect to hear more on that soon.

Todays shot was made while flying over the Palouse.  This area is amazing on the ground and even takes on a whole new feel from above.  Patterns are everywhere and like many landscapes I like to shoot it is dynamic and chaining.  This pattern is not there anymore, most likely plowed under within a few days of taking this image.  Truly something photographed and remembered only with this image.  How cool is that?

One Of My Favorites

Ayers Rock - Australia

This is one of my favorite shots.  It was made in Australia which should be obvious on one of the PODAS workshops I lead.  Ken Duncan who is a miracle worker in his own right asked this beautiful girl if she would be in our picture and she agreed.  During the time I was taking this shot flies were buzzing around and she was looking uncomfortable.  Then all of a sudden she just took this amazing pose and I shot it.  Two seconds later she was looking somewhere else.  Sometimes it just works, have patience.

More Ice

Iceberg New Zealand

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

My first post of the new year and it is of ice, my new obsession, or so it seems.  Why am I fascinated by ice?  Because it is here today and gone tomorrow.  It’s not a cliche like so many images of the grand canyon.  Ice is in constant transition, usually the melting kind.  This little iceberg was shot in New Zealand.  I am sure that as the day went on it moved and melted and may have even turtled (which is roll over terms for icebergs).  I have lots of ice pictures and through out this year you will get to see even more.

Fun With The iPhone

Performing Arts Center, Carmel, IN

This image was shot yesterday.  The building is the Carmel (indiana) Perform Arts Center or Palladium as it is known.  It’s a big new building that is quite nice and very expensive.  None the less I have fun shooting it.  On the way back from the store I pulled in and did a quick pano with my iPhone.  Assembled it and like magic with PhotoStream it was on my iPad.  I then worked the image a bit in a couple of apps to come up with this.  Just a fun day and a bit of fun time messing around.

Bryce

Bryce National Park, UT

A very picture worthy National Park is Bryce where this image was taken.  It’s not an overly large park and there aren’t a lot of places to shoot compared to other parks but there places there are at the right time of the year will reward you greatly.  There are numerous overlooks where you can get terrific sunrise and sunset shots.  Shooting mid-day there is pointless.  Also, if you come at the time of year when it is cold enough and you awake to a light dusting of snow the park just turns into a fairytale land.  Be sure to take hikes and find places where the normal tourist won’t venture.  Your images will be different and much more rewarding.

Merry Christmas – Delicate LIght

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

Trees In Olympic National Park

I’ll keep this entry short as there is so much to do to get ready for the Raber Christmas Morning.  All of my boys are here with one wife and one significant other.  Going to be a fun day.  After gifts and a brunch I will start preparing the traditional (Raber) dinner of Beef Wellingtom, Potatoes, Waldorf Salad, String Bean Almonde, with a beautiful chocolate chip cake for dessert.

Todays picture was made in the Olympic National Park which is just beautiful.  Deep in the woods I found this tree and it was catching just a hint of the sunlight coming through.  Simple and works.  Shot with a Phase One P65+
