I leave Monday for Iceland. Postings here may be limited as I will have limited internet connections where I will be traveling. This is the base of a waterfall in Iceland. There are so many and here I tried to capture the beauty of the falls as it reaches bottom and cascades off of the rocks.
One of my favorite places to visit when I am in Las Vegas is the Neon Boneyard. This is like a museum of old Las Vegas neon signs. So many things to shoot there and such great color.
I just got back at 3AM last night from Arizona doing the prep work for the November PODAS workshop – Monuments and Canyons. I’ll share more when we launch the details soon. On Monday I leave for a nary two week trip in Iceland. I am leading a PODAS workshop there and we will have a spectacular time and with 21 hours of daylight we’ll be shooting and not sleeping. Todays photo was made on a beach where icebergs wash up. It’s really quite a sight to see. Look for more and follow the workshop as we blog it at the link HERE.
Damn, I am having fun with yesterday’s images. Shot a ton with my Phase One IQ 180 camera. That’s 80 megapixel shots of the canyon. Incredible detail. Here is another shot done in the canyon with rays. The place was very busy so getting good images meant lots of patience. Long exposures, dusty environment. But such beautiful light.
I am out in Arizona working on the details for a November PODAS workshop. It will include the Monument Valley area and Slot Canyons of Page, AZ. Today I spent some time in Upper Antelope canyon shooting and checking it out. There are two canyons upper and lower and both are great places for photos. On the workshop not only will we spend time in each of these but we also visit some canyons that you only can see if you know the right people. The same goes for Monument Valley. I’ll post information about this workshop when I have all the details. This is just one cool image with sun rays shooting to the canyon floor. I have a lot of keepers from today.
This is a B&W shot of an old Great Lakes Steamer. It has been in Saugatuck, MI for what seems forever. It’s rusting and falling apart. On June 4th they are moving this boat to a new location in Canada and will be restoring it. That will be quite a site as it is towed out the river. Wish I could be there, but I will be in Iceland.
On my recent trip to Mexico I had the opportunity to visit a church not too far from San Miguel where there was a pilgrimage of about 1000 men. They come to this church for a week of worship. They all sleep there and everyone sets up a sleeping area like you see above. Pretty amazing place and some great images were made there.
OK, yesterday was a kid in the window, today it is me in the mirror. I like trying to include myself in some images I make. What more can I say?
The weekend was a fun shoot. Saw many things and had a lot of fun shooting the out of the ordinary. Heading west this weekend so expect to see some big landscapes by this time next week. In the meantime I am still having fun posting the different. Todays shot is a continuation of the image from yesterday. These are two of around ten life boats in a big field just sitting there rusting away. Some very cool photo possibilities. Shot with an iPhone and using the hipstamatic app. I used the Kodat and Jonny S combo. Lots of fun to shoot small. Next week it’s back to 80 mega pixels.
While wandering with my iPhone we visited an antique store. A very cool place and it was photographers dream. So many cool and unusual items. Outside I found a basket full of gears and I did some shots. This one of the ones I like the best. Shot with iPhone and hipstamtic app and a bit of enhancement in Snapseed.
