I will be in the Moab area through Friday this week.  I have been to Moab many times and it is a very cool areas for photographers to visit.  Amazing how many are right now.  My goal this trip is to shoot things differently.  Like yesterday I shot everything with a long lens.  The picture above was shot with the NEW 240mm lens from Phase One on a Phase One DF+ camera and IQ180 back.  Absolutely amazing image quality.  I will be shooting all week trying different lenses and or different angles to give me images that others don’t usually shoot or see.  Game on.

Scottish Sunrise

Sunrise, Scotland

Sorry, it has been a few days since my last post.  I strive to a post a day but sometimes regular life and work are moving too fast .  I am back on a more even keel and  don’t travel again for about a week.  Then I am off to Utah.  That should be a great trip.  This image I made in Scotland a few months back.  On the last morning in Scotland we drove by this location that for whole week was so fog shrouded you couldn’t see 20 feet.  then bam, the day was perfect, clear and still.  This was one of those magic moments photographers love.  I remember standing there as the sun came up, the shadows changed and just kept saying wow!

Jökulsárlón – Iceberg Lagoon, Iceland

This another one of those images that you could probably never reproduce.  It was shot at 2AM approximately and I was hanging around the iceberg lagoon shooting a ton of great images. Then the light came and boy did it come.  I have a few dozen spectacular shots.  Then it was gone , just like that.  This was shot with a Phase One IQ 180 so the detail is amazing.  I have a 4×6 foot image of one of the shots in this series in my office.

2nd Beach Re-Visited

Second Beach Olympic National Park
Second Beach Olympic National Park

One of the most photographed beaches on the west coast is second beach in Olympic National PArk.  It’s a short hike to the beach and once there you’ll understand why so many people shoot it.  I wanted to try and get somethings a bit different.  I placed the rock in the foreground and as the sunset, I made some captures.  I knew I wanted to catch the waves in a particular way.  I also knew that since I was shooting a Phase One IQ camera I would have a wide enough dynamic range retain details in highlights and shadows.

Scotland

Scotland 2012How do you describe what it is like to be a photographer in Scotland.  It’s an amazing place and almost every time you turn your head you find a scene worth photographing.  Being there this past fall we had great color and great light as can be seen in this stunning shot.  This is one of the classic places to shoot in Scotland.  Water, cold and a mountain.
