Remembering Tuscany

I miss traveling and by now I  must sound like a broken record.  A few years ago I  visited Tuscany while leading a workshop there with Art Wolfe.  Here are a select few images showing just how colorful Tuscany is.

Ormiston Gorge

PODAS Australia

A few years ago I did the Red Center in Australia.  Before we got too deep in the outback we visited Ormiston Gorge a littles ways from Alice Springs.  There are a number of gorges in cental Australia. during some of the year there is hardly any water running in them.  when I visited there was great water and I was able to do some nice images.  This is a pano image done from a small uprise in the middle of the river.  my feet got wet and cold but I got the shot.

Church On A Hill

I have been Iceland dozens of times.  It’s an amazing country and has a lot of great places to photograph.  After a while everyone that visits takes the same pictures of the same things,  This church is no exception.  I have photogrphed this chuch a lot but on this day I had low hanging clouds and lots of birds flying over it.  Thus, I was lucky to get an image that is somehwat a differnt view.  Shot with a long lens from a low angle.  It’s a peaceful image.

Olympic National Park – Hoh Rain Forrest

Olympic NP Feb 2012 0594 v2Olympic National Park is a relatively short drive from Seattle and offers some amazing landscapes.  It is special because it has a diverse micro climate.  This creates an different weather pattern in various parts of the park.  One part of the park is a rain forrest and they get a ton of rain.  This is where your camera will fool you because you’ll never see greens like there are in ONP.  This is a true I found along a hiking trail with some very nice light hitting it.  IT was shot with a Phase One 60 mega pixel camera.

Sunset Olympic National Park

I enjoy photographing in Olympic National Park a lot.  There is so much to shoot there.  This image was made at the 2nd Beach location.  It’s a short walk through the woods that dumps you onto this wonderful beach.  Hang around for sunset and you’ll be treated to something special.  This is an image made with a Phase One IQ160 with an ALPA camera.  I did one exposure then processed it out at 2 stops over and under plus normal.  It was the taken into PhotoMatix and tone mapped.  What this does is recover the detail in highlights and shadows and then blends them together.  A bit surreal and real at the same time.

Isle Of Skye

It has been a little while since I have made a post on my blog and I apologize.  I have been extremely busy on many projects.  Right now I am in Scotland at Isle Of Skye.  This is an amazing place. I am leading a photo workshop here with Steve Gosling and Joe Cornish.  We have great group of attendees and even though we have had to deal with the famous Isle Of Skye weather we have been capturing some amazing images like the one above.  Once I get back from this trip I’ll post more.  I’ll try to post another tomorrow.  This image I think almost looks Biblical.  Hope you enjoy it.  Made with a Phase One IQ160 digital back on an Alpa camera with 72mm lens.

Rickets Glen Falls

I have posted other images here of waterfalls. Seems I shoot a lots of them. I have also posted images from Rickets Glen here. This place is in Pennsylvania. Great place. There are around 27 falls along two different trails. So, it is a 2 or three day trip to get the images and do it right. This is one of the falls there. I may be tempted to drive back there again this year.

Once again I present another image from  Jökulsárlón, otherwise known as Iceberg Lagoon.  This particular day was very still and the light was right, lots of ice, and I decided to try to capture the size and overall feel.  This took over 14 images shot on a Phase One IQ160 back in vertical and then stitched together in Photoshop.
