Beam Me Up Scotty

Beams, Lower Antelope Canyon, Page, AZ

This shot was made in Lower Antelope and depending on the time of year and time of day you may be lucky enough to get these beautiful rays of light that come through from the top of the canyon to the floor. Throw some sand in the air let things settle and shoot. This si what you get. If you are lucky. I have a lot of great beam shots in the slot canyons and here is one f them. Warning if you visit the crowds can be huge, especially Japanese tourists so let your guides hold back traffic and be ready to shoot quick. A tripod is a must.  This was shot with a Phase One IQ180 camera and a 55mm lens.

Sunrise In Palouse

Sunrise In The Palouse

I work for a great company Phase One and we make the best cameras and software in the world. Recently we released a new version of our RAW image processor Capture On 7. This new software is so good ( and I am not kidding) that I am going back and re-working some of the tougher images I have. And, C1 7 is kicking ass with these images. Here is one taken in the Palouse last year with an Iq180. I have another from the same morning I’ll post tomorrow. I can see a long winter ahead re-working many images. That is also equal to a lot of wine drinking.

Monument Valley

Monument Valley from Hunts Mesa

It’s been very hard posting the last few weeks. I have been leading PODAS Photography workshops in Scotland and now in Monument Valley and also did some family things in between. For now I am going full speed at the PODAS Monument Valley workshop and oh what a workshop it has been. Amazing photography. I have a lot of images to post here in the weeks to come. For now you’ll have to settle for this shot from Hunts Messa.

Train In The Valley

Glenfinnan‑Viaduct – Scotland

The Scotland trip continues. Today is the last day of shooting followed by closing ceremonies tonight. This has been an excellent PODAS workshop as we have photographed so many great places, made new friends and had a few laughs. Makes photography a lot of fun. The attendees from the workshop are from all over the world and it’s great to see how a passion of photography is common everywhere. This shot made with the Phase One IQ180 is of the Glenfinnan Viaduct. This was the last run for this train until net spring.

Castle Stalker

Castle Stalker, Scotland

Last evening we took the group to Castle Stalker and stayed there until after sunset. And, oh what a sunset it was. It lasted a while and transformed itself every few minutes Hard to decide what shots to choose. Shoot with the Phase One IQ 180 and then processed in capture one. Was bale to still hold detail in the castle while keeping the intensity of the sunset. Good tools for great images. More to come.

You Can See For Miles

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.

Slot Canyons – Antelope Canyon

Antelope Canyon, Page, AZ

This is a shot inside Antelope Canyon. I’ll be leading a workshop to shoot both Upper and Lower Antelope plus 6 other private canyons in November. This was shot with a Phase One IQ camera system. Not to mention it is 80 mega pixels but also it gives an image with incredible Dynamic range that allows all the details in highlights and shadows to be captured. This just can’t be done with a DSLR type camera. I have quite a collection of slot canyon images now.

Australian Gorge

Ormiston Gorge, Australia Outback

In the outback of Australia near Glen Helen there are a number of gorges.  These are incredible oasis like places where there are streams running into pool like areas with trees and cliffs surrounding them.  This is one of the gorges which I believe is called Ormiston Gorge.  shot with a Phase One IQ16o camera.
