Picture For A Cold Morning

The Gullet

Another cold morning here in Indiana.  Never thought I’d say this but thinking for of being a snowbird more everyday.  The last few days have been catch up days after returning from Australia.  So much to do.  I leave again on Monday for a road trip to FL for the holidays.  Will be nice to see family and kick back a bit.  This image was shot in Antarctica on one of my three trips there.  Lovely place and this was one of those magic shots.  There are tons of Antarctica images so you’ll see more.  This was taken in a place called the Gullet that not too many people get to visit.  It was one of those life changing days.  And, a lot warmer than it is here today.

More Like This Coming

As mentioned earlier the trip to Australia was real good. I have come back with many good images. The image above is a teaser of things to come. This a photo of an Aboriginal girl who posed for us in front of the Ayers Rock. This was shot with a P65. You can see the flies in here face and very sharp detail on her face. I’ll be making a large print of this one. Kind of a classic pose too. Hope you like it.

Australia Gum Tree

Gum Tree - Ormiston Gorge

Seeing how today I am now in Glen Helen in the middle of the Australia outback I thought an Australian photo would be in order. This image I loved when I saw it. A simple gum tree with its bright white bark set against the red cliffs in Ormiston Gorge.

I have set my blog to automatically post for the next few days as I will be out of touch bu phone and internet. It’s good to get away. You can also follow the workshop I am leading at THE PODAS BLOG.

Waterfalls Again – Kind Of

Waterfall Near Hoh Rain Forrest

Every year in the spring I set out on a photo trip with around 8 of my very closest photographer friends.  It’s quite an ecliptic group and we have a lot of laughs drink a lot of wine eat well and more than anything else photograph a lot.  Every year one of the guys is responsible for where we go.  It’s not an easy job as this can be a very tough group to please.  It was my responsibility this past year and we visited Olympic National Park in the state of Washington.  We stayed at three different locations and we had one heck of a good time.  Today’s photo was taken off the side of a dirt road someplace near the Hoh Rain Forrest.  If you are interested in learning to photograph waterfalls better please read this article by Mark Dubovoy.

Everybody Does Flowers

Tulip Close Up, Holland Michigan

As photographers we are all attracted to flowers.  And, why not?  They are colorful, beautiful and smell good.  Part of the attraction for many shooters I believe is the challenge of doing a close up and then seeing the detail in the images.  As time goes on you’ll see some more flower photos here.  Today though I present a tulip photographed in Holland, Michigan.  Every spring Holland opens up the town for the annual tulip festival.  There are fields of tulips blooming and hundreds of varieties.  This shot was made with a Canon 5dII and a macro lens.  I then took it into my iPhone and messed with it using an app called Picture Show.  I exported it did a bit more work in PhotoShop and here you have it.  Simple and nice.

For some really great images of flowers and nature embodying the human form please visit my friends website Barbara Ventura.  Her work is gorgeous.

Iceland Glacier Lagoon

Jökulsárlón - Glacier Lagoon, Iceland

Iceland is amazing.  It’s a small country and island with stunning beauty.  It is an island that where the land itself lives and breaths.  There are geo-thermal areas, volcanos, glaciers, waterfalls and overwhelming vistas.  This past summer I was leader for a Phase One PODAS workshop there and returned from the trip a ton of great images.  I’ll be sharing them here as time goes on.  Today’s image was shot at Jökulsárlón a Glacier Lagoon formed when the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier began to recede.  Icebergs calf off of the glacier and float in this lagoon eventually being washed out to sea.  Many of those end up on a black sand beach.  More on that in another post.  This shot just happened in one of those amazing moments.  I love the beam of sunlight and the blue of the icebergs.  Hope you enjoy it too. Photographed with a Phase One P65+ and 150mm lens.
