Zion Offers So Much

Zion National PArk

Zion National Park, a short drive (sort of) from LasVegas is such a wonderful place to visit.  I usually go in the fall, winter and spring.  At these times you can drive in the park.  During the summer you must take a bus.  There are many good walk and vistas.  One part of the park is a valley with large canyon walls and very pretty and another part is carved sandstone and almost desert like.  A must see trip.  This image was made right after you go through the tunnel from the valley part.  Park the car and take a hike.  Lots of great shots like this are available.

Lamar Channel

Lamar Channel, Antarctica

The Lamar channel is a very cool place to cruise through especially if you get to cruise it at sunset.  On my first Antarctica trip we cruised the channel at magic hour.  The sun was low and the moon was coming up.  The sky turned orange and purple and the water looked like it had a sheen of oil on it from the reflection.  Just an amazing experience.  This is a shot taken at one end of the channel.  I believe these two peeks are called Ulla’s Tits.  Must be a story behind it.

Portrait From Aboriginal Community

Aborigine Gentleman, Near Glen Helen, AUS

On one of the PODAS workshops that I lead we visited the outback of Australia. It was an amazing trip with amazing instructors. We had the chance to visit an Aboriginal community. this is one of the many portraits we did there. These were very interesting people. Friendly and welcoming. Their faces were amazing, their eyes blah and recessed. It is amazing to visit a place like this and see how these folks live and understand better what they believe in and their history.

Some Where In Australia

Opal Mine, Cooper Pedy S.A.

This shot I found while going through my digital albums and I would have by passed it most likely but I kept coming back to it. This is an opal mind in the middle of no where Australia. Driving back from Red Center we were going down one of these roads where you could tie the steering wheel down and read a novel. Long and straight. All along this long stretch were old machines and piles of dirt. I learned that this is an opal mining areas. So, eventually we stopped so I could be the tourist and this is what I saw. The sky was dramatic and colors and landscape kind of strange. It’s like a tourist trap but no one was there. Anyway it was pretty cool to learn how they mine opal and see such a landscape.

Nature Takes Over

Nature Takes Over - Train Car - Noblesville, IN

Kind of cool how mother nature in all her ways eventually reclaims things and takes over.  Nothing is more evident than this shot of the side of s rusty train car with a small plant beginning to grow out of it.  Shot with a P65+ there is a load of detail in this shot. I made a large 30×40 inch print of this and it is stunning.

A Different View

Canyonlands area near Moab, UT

This is a shot of the Canyonlands outside of Moab.  This is a pretty typical shot and a lot of people could take this shot.  Fortunately for me that day this storm rolled in and I was shooting from the same height as the storm and thus I had these cool grey clouds on the top of my image yet sunshine in the canyon.  This is one of a series of very dramatic pictures taken during a 15 minute window of the storm.  Sometimes you get your best pictures in not so desirable condition.

Bryce

Bryce National Park, UT

A very picture worthy National Park is Bryce where this image was taken.  It’s not an overly large park and there aren’t a lot of places to shoot compared to other parks but there places there are at the right time of the year will reward you greatly.  There are numerous overlooks where you can get terrific sunrise and sunset shots.  Shooting mid-day there is pointless.  Also, if you come at the time of year when it is cold enough and you awake to a light dusting of snow the park just turns into a fairytale land.  Be sure to take hikes and find places where the normal tourist won’t venture.  Your images will be different and much more rewarding.
