Locomotive

While visiting Snowqualime, Washington I came across and old steam locomotive.  I did a lot of photos of it but went in close and made some fun images.  This is one of those images that has some beautiful man made geometric abstract shapes.

American Flag Barn Of The Palouse

If you have been following this site, you know that the Palouse region is one of my favorites for taking photographs.  I do two workshops there every year in June, which is the ideal time to visit.  You can learn more about these workshops by checking out my Workshop Page.  This barn with the flag is iconic, and if you enter the Palouse going south from Spokane, you will see it on your right as you enter the region.  What makes this stand out is the amazing sky and clouds, which is another thing the Palouse is famous for.  I thought I would share this image in Color and BW.

Monument Valley

I have been doing a big project these last few months, going through all my images shot over the last decade and reimporting them into Lightroom, which is the RAW processor I am now using.  I made the switch to Lightroom a month or so back because I was unhappy with the direction Capture One was headed.  Lightroom has been a lot of fun to learn, and it offers a ton of features.  The new masking tools are quite extraordinary.  I came across these two images from one of my many trips to Monument Valley.  I’ll be posting more images from my new Lightroom journeys over the coming weeks.  I have also been playing with Black and White.  Some fun images coming from those explorations.

Reindeer Stare Down

Svalbard has its own reindeer known as Svalbard Reindeer.  They are smaller and have shorter legs.  They are strange animals with big building eyes.  Here’s one that was staring me down.

Svalbard First Night 2022

The beauty of a late season trip to Svalbard
The beauty of a late-season trip to Svalbard

 

I just returned from two weeks in Svalbard, one of my happy places.  I took 11,000 images which will be edited down to around 100.  That’s the hard part. This is the sunset from one of our first nights in Svalbard.  Lots more to come.

A Different Palouse

For twenty plus years have been visiting the Palouse.  Usually I visit in the early summer (middle of June).  I then occasionally visit in August for the harvest, which is great time to photograph the Palouse in a different color .  The landscape is dynamic in the harvest because it is always changing.  This year has been an exceptional year so far in the Palouse.  I have never seen it is a green.  There has been consistently cool temperatures and more rain than expected.  The area is all green.  Sometimes so green as it hurts your eyes to see so much green.

If you are ever interested in joining me on one of my workshops to the Palouse, please visit Rockhopper Workshops To See info and register.

The images presented present here are just a drop in the bucket. They were made with my Sony a7riv and Sony a1. I also used my iPhone as I wanted to see how it did on a journey like this.  More images from the iPhone series will be presented here soon.

A Couple Of Faroe Island Photos

This little village has it all, waterfalls, rolling hills, church and a bay

The Faore Isalnds are a small group of islands in the North Atlantic ocean. Much smaller that Iceland, these islands offer up a variety of great images to photographers.  Small villages and immense seascapes and landscapes await those that visit.  These are just two images I did in MAy 2022 in the Faroes.  More to come.

Valparaiso Doors – With Video

There is a city in Chile that is about a two-hour drive from Santiago called Valparaiso.  It’s a great name as there is a city here in Indiana named the some.  Valparaiso in Chile is a city built on a number of hills.  It’s. port city and until the Panama canal opened up years ago it was one of the busiest ports in South America.  It’s also known now as a city of graffiti.  Essentially the whole city is a street art gallery that graffiti artists have made a joy to walk through.  I have added some images here for you to enjoy.  I also have a video of my visit to Valparaiso that is fun to watch.  You can find the video The Streets Of Valparaiso HERE

For The Love Of Penguins

Chin Strap Penguins jumping onto an iceberg

 

These are two penguin photos I made on my last trip to Antarctica in February 2020.  They were photographed with the Sony a7r iv and have a ton of detail.  I processed these in Capture One 20 and used shadow recovery to bring out details in the black feathers and needed to highlight recovery in the white area of the penguin.  I shot a lot of penguin photos and I always look for something different.

The top image was made from our ship as we passed an iceberg and the penguins were jumping onto an iceberg.

The image below was made onshore and it is a young penguin who is molting and trying to groom itself.

Dramatic Icebergs

Dramatic Iceberg.  One thing I like to do is play with my iceberg images and find new ways to create a different view of an iceberg.  I will be doing an article on photoPXL.com where I show this iceberg in more than a dozen different ways.  Look for that soon.  These giant icebergs always give me new ways of seeing.  These are unique images.  Unlike many landscape photos these photos are dynamic.  Within a few days, this iceberg will take on a whole different look.  It may break apart and it may flip over.  Either way, these icebergs define what Antarctica is all about –  A dynamic Landscape.
