Off To Moab

Moab, UT

For the next week I’ll be shooting with friends in Moab, UT.  This a beautiful area of the southwest with hundreds of possibilities for great shots.  All of us on this trip have been there before so this trip we will try to explore areas not usually visited by others.  The goal is to make a lot of non-cliched images.  What’s unique about this adventure is we will be shooting with the IQ180 digital back from Phase One.  That’s right 80 megapixels.  That’s 480 megabytes per shot.  Amazing detail that has to be seen.  We (Phase One) start shipping these backs to our dealers worldwide today.  The designer of these new backs and inventor of them will be shooting with us so he can see how the back performs.  What other company sends their head engineer out to try out and test their product.  There will be lots of news about the new back next week.  Wired MAgazine will have a review by Tuesday as will Luminous Landscape with others to follow.  I’ll post links here on my blog as they appear.  Today’s image was shot in Moab a year ago.  I’ll post some teasers each day until I have fresh ones I can share.  Stay tuned it will be a big week.

Rusty Texture

Rusty Boat - Buenos Aires, Argentina

Since I did a pattern shot yesterday, why not texture today?  So, here is a rusty art photo.  I love rust and anyone following this blog knows that.  This is rust from a ship in Argentina.  Buenos Aires seems to be a good city for rust.  This was found on an old boat being scrapped.

The Devil’s Golf Course

Yes, that is what they call tis place. This was shot at sunset during the PODAS workshop. What a rip this has been. I have many keepers and will be busy editing and working on images for weeks ahead. I am off to MOAB in a few weeks then a short time later Ireland. Lots of images and lots of workshops. I will keep this short as I must pack and get to the airport for the flight back to Indy. Hopefully I’ll be back to my regular schedule of a picture a day this week.

It Sometimes All Goes Great

Death Valley Sunset

This week I am in Death Valley leading a Phase One PODAS photo workshop.  We have had non-stop days and incredible good luck with our photo excursions. Tonight was no exception. We were coming back from an afternoon of photography in Rhyolite and Beatty when a front started to move in.  We quickly hustled our way over the mountain pass and set up at the top of valley. Our view encompassed Death Valley and as you can see from the photo the light and clouds were exceptional. I love it when a plan all comes together. Tonight was one of those nights that defined why we love taking photos so much.

The Neon Boneyard

Old Neon Sign - The Boneyard

I leave on Friday for a ten day trip to Death Valley.   This is one of the most beautiful National Parks there is.  It’s deceiving because you drive into it and you see just desert, but it has it’s surprises. Before I head out to Death Valley I’ll be stopping in Las Vegas, and picking up a friend from Australia and we are going shooting in the Neon Boneyard.  This is a photographers paradise.  This is where they all the old signs from the hotels and casinos in Vegas.  It is rich in texture and color and just about anyplace you point the camera is a good shot.  I will be shooting with my small GH2 camera and doing 5 exposure HDRs.  I have shot medium format here before and just have some amazing shots.  This time I have ideas of what I want to do with the final images and they will not be big prints.  After this little excursion I”ll be headed to Furnace Creek Inn where I will be leading a Phase One PODAS workshop for a week.  We have folks coming from around the world to try out the Phase One camera systems in this marvelous landscape.  You can follow the event on the PODAS blog by Clicking Here.  I’ll post a new shot here tomorrow and if all goes well on Friday night I’ll post a Neon Boneyard shot.

Purple Ice

Purple Ice - Antarctica

This has been a weird few days of weather here in Indianapolis. We had 70 degree weather and 24 hours later we had snow and ice. While not significant it got me thinking cold again. So, today I present purple ice. This is an iceberg shot in Antarctica. The sun didn’t really set when I was there, it just kind of change to this magnificent purple – orange glow and lasted for a few hours. A totally incredible things to witness. Hope you enjoy this shot. You can see more of my Antarctica images by CLICKING HERE.

Blue Sky

Rolling Landscape - Palouse, WA

The Palouse is a very beautiful area of eastern Washington state. It’s a very large area of rolling hills and fields. There are hundreds of places to take amazing photos.  I have photographed there a few times and I discover new places each trip. I am planning to do a workshop there in the next few months. In the meantime I hope you enjoy this amazing photo.
