I am going to switch things up a bit and move away from fall colors and head back north to Norway. This image was made this past August in Svalbard, Norway. It was shot from the ship while we were at anchor. I selected a square format and put very little land and water in the image as it was they sky that was so beautiful. Shot with a Nikon D800E and 8-400mm lens.
This past weekend Michael Reichmann, Chris Sanderson and I had a wonderful weekend shooting in Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario Canada. This is one of the images made of Fall Colors. I’ll be publishing a new image each day for the rest of the week. Hope you enjoy them. All were shot with a Nikon D800E and various lenses.
This is another image from my growing Dolomites Collection. It has been a fantastic week of photography. Definitely planning another trip back to this region. So many places to shoot and weather makes such a difference. I’ll get a gallery up on this site soon.
This was a fun shot to do. We were on top of a mountain looking at the top of an even bigger mountain. I did a small hike and came to a location where I could see everything at once. It set the focal length of my 24-70mm zoom to 50mm and found the optimal exposure. I then did a series of shots in 4 rows. Photoshop stitched these together. I love panos and this one works to show the whole mountain. I’ll publish a few more here over the coming days.
The light and clouds keep blessing u this week. Last night we had another excellent evening with the moon to make for some marvelous images. The PODAS workshop week continues and we are having a blast shooting a lot of different locations. I am too tired to even download images tonight but will try to catch up tomorrow. Hope you enjoy this image.
Some things here in the dolomites are too hard to describe. It’s all rather post cardish and just plain pretty. Like this image. Here is a church with these great mountains as a background and beautiful skies to go with it. These images are all being made as part of the Phase One PODAS workshop presently going on. We will be shooting through Saturday so expect more images.
For the last few days we have been blessed with amazing light and clouds. This makes for some great early morning and late shooting. we are typically leaving at 5AM and coming back by 9:30. Then, we leave again around 3:30 and return around 9PM. It’s all about getting the shot. Once again for this shot I stretched it a bit but made an image with impact. I guess I am going through a phase . This was shot after the sun went down and the sky took on an amazing after glow.
I am awed by what I am seeing and photographing. I usually plan to come back from a trip with maybe 3-6 keepers and I have 15 already and it is just the second day. The Dolomites is just spectacular. Here is a shot that was part of a half hour series. The clouds and light evolved with every minute. I love this one because I cover more of the immense size of this landscape and was able to include something in the foreground. We are going to this location for sunrise in the morning. Watch for more.
Today we set the room up and prepped for the upcoming PODAS workshop here in the Dolomites. We shot at many locations today and I’ll post other images in the coming days. This image which I will call after glow was photographed at sunset. It was an amazing journey of light as it played off the mountains across the valley. Earlier the mountain generated some lenticular clouds that were incredible. Tomorrow (sunday) we pick up the attendees in Milan and get this workshop rolling. More images to come.
This Polar Bear is at the edge of the Arctic Ice pack. Where does he go next? I think ti is kind of a symbolic image of the challenges the Polar Bear faces today. I love the bird in the shot.
