Death Valley – Wall

Tire and Bedspring, Death Valley JunctionBack to the blog after a few days of traveling and having some surgery.  I had a bit of basil cell cancer removed from my face and thought it would be a cake walk but by the time I was through, I now have like 30 stitches on my face.  I am told the scar won’t be bad.  At my age a few scars are good to have.

The photo today was taken in Death Valley.  There is an old abandoned Borax mine in Death Valley junction that I had a blast shooting at.  This is a shot taken with a Phase One P65 and then played with a bit on the iPad.  I like the whole feel.

Speaking of Death Valley, I am leading a workshop there in April.  Visit www.phaseone.com/podas for details.

Redwood Forest

Redwood Forest, N. California, Click On The Image To See Larger, Then Click Again

The redwood forest, is one of my favorite places to explore camera. This picture was done a few years ago in Northern California at the Redwood Forest. The best way to shoot this force is a drive down a road, find a spot you like, I walk into the forest. After a little while you will always find a spot that has more ground in the background and the right light. Such as it was with this particular picture. This was photographed with a Phase One p45+ camera. The detail the actual print is truly amazing.

Ice

Iceberg close-up, Iceland

I do like cold places and I am always fascinated by ice.  Some of my best photos are of ice.  This shot was part of a series of close-ups of ice taken on an iceberg beach in Iceland.  The story is that there is a glacier nearby and as the glacier calves, the icebergs slowly flow out o t the ocean.  At high tide they are pushed to the beach and when the tide goes out they are stranded.  The beach is littered with icebergs.  Some as big as a house or car and some the size of baseballs.  They are like finding diamonds.  I like this one and others like it as the light comes through and reveals the beautiful patterns the icebergs have.  Look for more in the near future.

Death Valley Junction

Death Valley Junction, CA

One of my favorite places to do photography is Death Valley. It is a most remarkable place with a ton of things to photograph. As you know if you are a regular reader I am a big fan of rust and decay and I was fortunate to find this old Borax mine in Death Valley Junction.  This locations is about 45 minutes from the park itself. I played with this image by shooting it with a P65+ then importing into my iPhone where I applied some effects then took it back to Capture One for some more adjustments. Just a little fun with an interesting image.

Alaska Color

Alaska Color

Sorry, it has been a few days since my last post.  In the last week I have been to San Miguel, Mexico and San Francisco working with a number of influential photographers showing them the the new IQ180 80 megapixel digital back from Phase One.  Oh what a great camera this is.  More on this later great camera later this week.

Today’s photo was shot in Alaska while out whale watching.  It hangs in my home.  It was forrest fire season and there was a lot of haze in the air.  This diffused the light and made for some interesting and colorful skies.  Thus this image. Shot with a Canon 1ds II and 100-400 mm lens.

London Eye

The London Eye

This a photo of the London Eye a giant ferris wheel in the center of London. As iconic as it is it looks a lot out of place in London. This was photographed on the day of the terrorist attack July 5th 2005. The eye stood still as well as most of London. It was very weird being there as all this was going on. None the less I did a lot of photography that day not realizing the seriousness of the day.  We had no news or smartphones then.

LOVE The IMA

LOVE at The IMA, Indianapolis, IN

WOW, What a week. The company I work for Phase One has announced a whole new line of game changing digital camera backs.  The IQ180 is an 80megapixel capture with a revloutionary interface for working with the camera and has a ton of ultra cool features. I am proud that I have the only one in North America and have had the chance to shoot with it. The results are astounding.

I am now in San Miguel, Mexico visiting Michael Reichmann who is host of one of the web’s most popular photography sites. Michael is field testing the back this week along with a host of other notable reviewers. I head to San Francisco on Wednesday for several days there showing the back to a few VIP photographers.  Watch the blog for more information. You can read more about this back on Lumninous-Landscape forum as well as getDPI forum.

Today’s picture was shot with the NEW IQ180 at the Indianapolis Museum of Art on a very cold evening at dusk.  This camera back has a huge dynamic range and with a little work I was able to make an image that has a huge range of color and exposure. The file is huge 480 megbytes in size. I look forward to making a print when my travel schedule slows down a bit.

Waterfalls Again

Waterfall - Iceland

This beautiful photo was taken in Iceland a few months ago.  Needless to say I am in love with this magnificent country and look forward to many return trips.  It is photo rich as we would say.  This is one of hundreds of waterfalls around Iceland.  I like this just because it has a different shape than others.  The valley in the background also adds to it.
