Death Valley Sunset

Sometimes the light gods watch over you. This image was made on a trip back from Beatty, NV. This is a small town of about a 1000 people living in the absolute middle of no where. More on Beatty in another post sometime. As I was returning to Death Valley I looked west and saw these clouds. I pushed it and crested the top of the mountain and looked down in the valley back to Furnace Creek and this is what I was greeted with. It was made with a 28mm lens on an IQ180 Phase One camera. Sometimes you just luck out.

In Moab

Arches National Park, UT
Arches National Park, UT

Moab is a town you stay in and all around Moab are one of the country’s largest areas to shoot pictures.  Amazing images abound around every turn.  This is a photographer’s paradise as when the light decides to play you can get some great shots. This one was made in Arches National Park right outside of Moab.

A Tree

Gum Tree in Orbitson Gorge, Austrailia
Gum Tree in Orbitson Gorge, Austrailia

This is a tree I shot in a gorger in Austrailia. Austrailia has lots of surprises. Many photographers would by this tree and not shoot it as it is just a tree. However, if you know your camera and know how to post process and image you can take a shot like this and make it a good final image. I used Capture One Pro to make this image and a number of tools available in it. First started with color balance. Then I worked contrast and saturation. This was followed by some local adjustments and the use of color editor to fine tune certain colors. Then I vignetted the shot as well as used local adjustments to darken parts of the image. I tried this in Lightroom too and I am pretty good with both, but LR couldn’t come close to the color and detail that Capture One made.

Off On Another Adventure

The Phase One gear I am taking on this trip

I leave tomorrow for another adventure   This time to Kimberley, Austrailia where I will be hosting 30 plus photographers on the True North cruise ship to do a photographic expedition into this amazing part of the world.  Read about what we have planned by CLICKING HERE.   Of course preparing for a trip like this takes lots of planning not to mention high end gear.  Read about what is my bag at the LUMINOUS-LANDCAPE web site.  Once I return I’ll have a ton of images to share.  In the mean time please keep visiting.  I’ll set posting up to be done automatically for a while.

America’s Tuscany

The Palouse at Sunrise, Washington
The Palouse at Sunrise, Washington

I am in Tuscany now and before I start posting what I am sure will be a ton of great Tuscany images, I wanted to share an image from what I consider to be America’s Tuscany, the Palouse.  This was made on one of those morning at sunrise with storms rolling in.  The scene changed every few minutes and I feel this image has just so much going on in it.

New Zealand Waterfall

A Magical Waterfall In New Zea
A Magical Waterfall In New Zea

I have been re-working some of my images using the update Capture One software 7.. I basically take images I worked on previously and run them back through the processor and they now come out even better.  This is one of those images.  It was shot on an IQ180 in New Zealand last December.  I love the greens and details I was able to pull out of this shot.  This was magical location.
