This image was made in Monument Valley in Magic Valley at an indian ruin. I saw this stick and liked how it contrasted with the wall. Simple and a bit different. Changing it to BW made all the difference.

Time For Catch Up
I am home until the day after Thanksgiving them off to Philadelphia area for a 40th reunion. The years are stacking up. I am home for a day after that then catch a flight to New Zealand. The trip to NZ is along. But I have methods to deal with 28 hours of flying. Hope my iPad can make it. I can charge it on the plane. This image is one of many from Scotland. Castle Stalker done with some artistic flare.
Green Island Cemetary
One of the places w visited in Scotland was one of the oldest known cemeteries. We spent nearly two hours here after an 1.5 hour boat ride. Only way to visit this place is by boat. To say the place was surreal would be an understatement. It deserved the BW treatment. I’ll post some more interesting image from here in the near future.
It Keeps Getting Better
So here is another Scotland image. I am done scouting locations and we are all set up and ready to go. Tomorrow the attendees for the PODAS workshop arrive and we will start our week of shooting. It will be a non-stop week of shooting. I’ll try to keep posting but it will get busy. This was made at Glencoe Lochan.
Scotland Castles
Scotland is turning out to be a photographic gold mine. So many beautiful places to take pictures of. The schedule for locations to visit over the next 7 days is amazing. I hope to be posting a new image each day from this trip. This a shot of the Eilean Donan Castle. It is a classic castle with bridge, old stone and sitting on an island. I shot this castle from many viewpoints. You may see more. But, this image I like because of the rock with a bird in the foreground and the colors. Stay tuned for more.
Scotland
I spent the day with Steve Gosling shooting the Isle of Skye today in Scotland. Oh, what a day. We experienced every kind of weather possible. Wind, cold, rain sun and incredible clouds. We drove countless miles on insane roads. I took 2200 exposures. I can post the rest of the year on images from this trip alone. Tomorrow the rest of the Phase One team begins to arrive and we will be in full force with the PODAS Workshop by Sunday. We have so many things planned I am sure we will all have a good time. It is what PODAS is all about. So stay tuned and be sure to check in at The PODAS Blog.
Scotland So Much To See
I am writing to you from a small hotel somewhere in Skye, Scotland. I will be leading a workshop here in a few days and came early to scout out locations and get an idea of what Scotland is all about. And, does Scotland have a lot to offer. This was one shot of many keepers today. I shot with the Phase One IQ180, the iPhone and the Olympus OMD 5. This image was made with the art mode on the Olympus and it was the easy to do. So far I made some new friends on this trip, taken some good shots and feel good when I am out in my element taking pictures. Stay tuned for more as I will post when time allows.
Castle Rock
I spent a few days in the Canadian Rockies a week or so ago and was scouting for locations and hotels for next years PODAS workshop there. There was a lot to shoot. Day one we had blue skies and puffy clouds and a few days after that full force snow storms that left the mountains topped off with snow cover. I’ll pots some more over the coming days.
Morant’s Curve The Other Direction
Well, I just had to go back and shoot a train on Morant’s curve coming from the other direction. Had to wait like an hour for the train to come and then it was moving very fast. But, I managed to get focus set prior to the arrival and then at a certain point I just blasted away. Here is the one I like best. Taken with an Olympus OMD 5. I feel the sky, curve and colors all work well in this shot. Hope you enjoy it.
Black and White Just Works
Sometimes you are shooting a scene or environment that is just made for Black and white. The picture today was just that. Shot on October 2, 2012 in the ice Fields of the Canadian Rockies. The weather was changing every second. Winds, cold, snow. It was so cold my iPhone shut down. Camera kept working though. I shot this image and processed it in Capture One. Capture One has such great features for holding shadow detail and highlight detail. I printed it on the darker side because it matches the true darkness of the time it was shot. Hope you like it.
