Three trips to Antarctica and I have thousands of images that are standout. I think it is time to gather the images together and make a book. There are not enough hours in the day and I do have a regular job. I have a lot of trips with images still waiting for editing and printing. Today’s image was shot from a zodiac on a cruise in Paradise Bay on my first trip to Antarctica. I love this image and the reflection. Shot with a P45+ hand held.
The Palouse and area of eastern Washington State that is big and just rolls on. It is such a beautiful landscape. This photo was shot in the spring. This summer during harvest I’ll be leading a workshop to the Palouse with two very well known photographers. Stayed tuned for the full details on this.
As I talked about earlier this week, Zion National Park allows for some great photography. A lot of it is that there are cliffs and the floor of Zion is bordered by steep hills and cliff. There is no true sky horizon. This shot illustrates how well the trees contrast against the cliff. Taken with a Phase One P45+ with a 150mm lens.
I love shooting tress and this shot was done in Zion National Park. Shot with a Phase One P45+ camera and a 150mm lens it brings out all the color and contrast to make the pine trees stand out. If you ever get a chance to visit Zion do so after October 31st. This park is most beautiful in early November or after a fresh coating of light snow.
Still getting my feet back on the ground. Amazing what ten days away can set you back on getting things done. This is an image I shot in Antarctica. Sometimes you just see the shot that is part of a much bigger subject. This is just a small portion of a large iceberg. I loved the way nature makes its own art and is evident here.
Ahhh…Antarctica…..I have a love for this place. It’s a life changing environment with natural beauty and a light unlike any other place on earth. It’s a dynamic environment, especially for photographers. It can’t be clichéd. An image taken one day won’t be there the next. This iceberg was huge. I have hundreds of iceberg images. This one stands out. You can’t imagine the size of some of these. They are as big as cities they float aimlessly around the oceans and eventually melt away or break into smaller pieces. So, you take one of these beasts and then throw light on it and you get images like this.
One of the garden spots for great landscapes in the US is a little know area called the Palouse. I’ll be leading a Photography Workshop there this fall with a well know shooter. The area is rolling hill, fields, open skies and landscapes that reach to the horizon. Stay tuned for more information.
A shot done in an old abandoned house and worked on using an iPhone.
The Palouse is a very beautiful area of eastern Washington state. It’s a very large area of rolling hills and fields. There are hundreds of places to take amazing photos. I have photographed there a few times and I discover new places each trip. I am planning to do a workshop there in the next few months. In the meantime I hope you enjoy this amazing photo.
So this is a week of travel . . . off to Chicago early on Monday. I’ll be working on scouting locations for the PODAS Architecture Photography workshop in July as well as a number of other meetings and an IQ180 roll out at ProGear. Drop me a note if you are going to be in Chicago. So, what is better than an iconic Chicago photo to start the week out. I’ll post a Chicago photo each day for a few days. This one is of the bean. I have hundreds of shots of this chrome monster and all are cool. I liked this B&W version.
