Antarctica Sunrise or Sunset

Antartica 14-00131_Snapseed — Antarctica Sunrise & Sunset - It was all the same

Antarctica offers a an environment of great photographs. Dynamic, changing and never cliched. You can be on shore or the deck of the ship and see and shoot just beautiful images. This one was made one morning when I was on the deck all by myself. And, I was presented with this shot of clouds, distant icebergs and the rising sun peeking through cracks in the sky. Makes for some dynamic photos. It then got darker and an hour later it was blue skies. Things happen fast there and they are unpredictable.

Death Valley Sunrise Take 121

Sunrises, what a way to start the day. The light is so dynamic and ever changing. On the workshops I lead we get up for sunrises everyday. No one complains as after a beautiful sunrise your day is a bit different in a very good way. This one was shot a few weeks ago in Death Valley in the Dunes area.

Glaciers and a New Setting Sun

My inventory of beautiful landscapes is large and last night I was sorting some images from Iceland and came on this. I cleaned it up a little bit and wanted to share it here today. Iceland is one of the most majestic places on the planet. I will leading a workshop there end of MAy 2012 so stay tuned for information on that. This shot was made at Jokulsarlon bay which is a lagoon that is filled with icebergs from a very large glacier nearby. These icebergs float around the lagoon eroding and taking on the most mazing forms. Then they are washed out to sea and some of them land on the beach nearby at low tide. The whole area is just amazing.

Palouse Sunrise

In August I lead a photography workshop PODAS to the Palouse area of Washington. I have been posting a number of images from this trip as time allows. This one is one of those real special ones. It was shot on the first morning of the workshop and a weather from was coming in. We were on a small bluff overlooking this quaint little valley and all the elements just lined up for what turned out to be an hour of incredible photography. Ill post more from this one morning over the coming weeks. Enjoy this one today.

Miami Beach

I have said many times when I visit a city, I like to see it and shoot it. Miami is no exception. I got up prior to dawn and strolled the Miami Beach area. Interesting place that early in the morning. All sorts of interesting and sometimes scary people out there. I took this shot as I liked the colors and geometry f the image. Done with a P45+ and a 350mm lens on a Contax.

Iceland Iceberg Beach

iceland beach 2 — Icebergs On The Beach - Iceland

In honor of some of my friends who are now touring in Iceland I present one of my Iceland shots – icebergs on the beach. This beach is truly an amazing place. Icebergs wash out to sea from Jokulsarlon Lagoon and then when the tide switches around they wash up on the beach where the crashing waves begin to erode them to these beautiful diamond like Icebergs. The beach is littered with them for a very long distance. Quite the site to see and photograph. It’s different every day. So to Harry, Teri, Einir and others – have a great time there.

Chicago Dawn

Good morning! On PODAS workshops you can count on rising early to shoot the special light of dawn. This shot was done a little over a week ago while we waited for a sunrise to illuminate the Chicago skyline. It’s a pretty nice shot in color but I thought BW added some drama to it. This was shot from the Shed aquarium area. Good place to catch to city skyline.

Now In Hong Kong

Wow…what a trip this has been. A few weeks ago I was in Ireland. This last 10 days I have visited 4 cities in China. Now I am in Hong Kong to do my last presentation tonight. I hear we have 150 people registered. Should be fun. The photographers in China are very passionate and take their photography seriously. We have been promoting a photography workshop (PODAS) for the China market to be held in Death Valley this November. Should be a great time. Tomorrow I fly home, hopefully with an upgrade to business class. I arrived in Hong Kong after a very civilized train ride for two hours from China. I awoke this morning to the sunrise picture above. Sorry, it was shot on the iPhone and may not be the best. The weather is still 100 plus degrees. Can’t wait to get back to a more moderate 87 degrees. I get back with just a few recovery days before starting the PODAS Chicago workshop next week. This will be a workshop focused on Architectural photography. Should be fun. I’ll post again when I get home this weekend.

Magical Antarctica

bAntartica 17-00011_DL — Icebergs On The Horizon, Antarctica

I have had so many great experiences on my three trips to Antarctica. Each trip has been life changing. It’s not hard to point a camera in any direction and get a great shot. It becomes overwhelming at some points. But I’ll take overwhelming and I’ll take 24 hour days. Because in the end you end up with images like this. Today’s image was shot with a Canon 1DS Mark II with a long lens at one of those 3 hour sunset – sunrises that happens in Antarctica. I have been working on a ton of images from Antarctica and a dozen other places. With all my travels I have a large backlog but you can count on and endless number of images to be viewed on this blog.

Enjoy!

Sunrise Death Valley

Death Valley Sunrise 1 — Death Valley Sunrise #1

Somedays you just hit it right. Today started off as a beautiful day in Death Valley. Great light and clouds. Then it just became windy and I mean thundering windy. It’s like standing in a giant hair dryer. The valley was covered in dust storms as far as you could see. Death Valley is apparently famous for this wind and heat. Anyway I am not big into sunrises like this but today is an exception.
