Zabriskie Point about an hour before sunrise. The colors are so different here at this time. I liked how the striations move across this frame against the ridge lines and the gradiating color change. Got to love the textures of Death Valley! #zabriskiepoint #deathvalleynationalpark (at Zabriskie Point)
Found some nice blooms out in the #superstionmountains last month. Having not scouted earlier in the day I found myself in usual form - running up the mountainside literally chasing the sunlight as it crept further behind the ridge line to the west. So "sunset" was a bit earlier than expected. Luckily I came across this patch just in time. The cool clouds burned off just after sunset. And next time I'll head out there not during a rare heat wave in early April. Was HOT! #arizonaphotographer #arizonasunset (at Superstition Mountains)
"Earth Angel" - Do you see her? Her golden profile, center frame with her head looking down. The walls on both sides lit like her wings? Ok, maybe use your imagination. But I saw this almost immediately when I walked through this section of the lesser known Canyon X in Page, Arizona and was excited to find something I haven't seen before from slot canyons. I guess it was all about the timing too with how the lighting fell. As my first slot canyon experience I immediately fell in love with the colors, light and textures here. Such a unique and surreal place and the best part—had the place all to ourselves. Thanks for the shares! #slotcanyon #canyonx #pagearizona (at Page, Arizona)
“Dunesday” — I’ve shot in difficult conditions before but this day—THIS DAY, was a whole different ballgame. Sitting in our car, @rosskykerphoto and I were debating on if we should even head out into this monstrous glowing cloud of sand that had completely engulfed the Mesquite dunes of Death Valley. You couldn’t see a thing. Of course, lacking any sort of suitable gear for constant 40+ mph winds, I pulled my buff over my entire face and put my sunglasses on and wrapped my camera in my plastic rain sleeve and went for it. WOW, not only was I mostly blind from my homemade facemask, the blowing sand and deafening wind was absolutely nuts. We must have looked like blind zombies roaming out into the dunes. It was slow going and we couldn’t hear each other at all. A few times we’d walk into dip in the dune that funneled all the wind right through it and we’d have to turn back. I can’t even guess how fast that wind was. Finally got to a spot and we did some meaningless hand gestures to each other and I laughed at the thought of trying to set up my tripod so I just turned into the wind and started firing away with my 70-200mm. Interestingly, the wind was so powerful it had carved up the dunes and you can see some of the deep cuts revealing the deeper wet patterns in the sand from the rains weeks before. In no time the sun crept behind the mountains thanks to our speedy arrival. Literally choking on sand at this point, we headed back. It took a week to get the sand out of our eyes and teeth and lungs. It gave me a weird sinus sound to my voice which was a nice touch. And “blood-eye” Ross will tell you of his sand-tears and thankfully non-permanent eye damage. In no way is this a great shot by any means, but just the experience alone makes it one of the more memorable photo ops I’ve ever had. You can check out my video in my IG feed where I had a chance to catch some this. Thanks for looking! (at Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes)
A serene night shot from the famous Hood River Valley pear orchard with Mt. Hood in the distance. I found this composition where the tree branches were almost reaching for each other, framing the shot nicely. Luckily there was no wind which helped get a nice sharp shot. Oregon is incredible this time of year and as I reminisce of last years trip, I can't wait to get back. Thank you for the likes and shares. (at Hood River, Oregon)
Ah, the desert Cholla cactus. Nice look in pictures—not so much stuck all over your body… I was warned about these little velcro bastards with their barbed spikes and little “cholla balls” all over the ground. It turns out, they are worse than I thought. At the base of the Superstition Mountains here on my quest for some nice desert scenes. My focus was on the Three Sisters peaks of the mountain but the light had fizzled out, and as usual facing the wrong direction, when I happened to turn around I saw this massive pink whispy cloud picking up some nice last light color. So in my usual form, I came flailing down the hillside and quickly located a patch of cholla and darted towards it. Let’s just say I will not be desert running again… About half way there, I thought I got bit by a snake and let out a scream I’m thankful no one will ever hear. When I looked down I had about five of these cholla balls stuck on my legs in various places—even stuck on my tripod feet. These things are magnetically charged or something as they seem to come out of nowhere. So now I’m debating: save my legs or get the shot. I picked up two rocks to pull off one cholla ball that really got me good. Hobbling up to the shot I set up my composition and fired away just before the color left. With my adrenaline now wearing off, my cholla parasites were starting to really feel nice. I spent the next 15 minutes on the ground like a neanderthal with rock wedges pulling out hundreds of barbed spikes and bleeding all over the desert floor—just what I had envisioned for my first cholla experience. Wish I got a better shot as a reward for my pain. Now, I have added a new item to my camera bag: Tweezers. (at Superstition Mountains)
Welcome to Mars - aka the White Pocket Wilderness in Northern Arizona. Some of the weirdest terrain I've ever set foot on and not easy to get to either taking a couple hours from the nearest town down very rough sandy back roads. They say these rocks are petrified sand dunes which i can see with some of the incredible layered patterns everywhere. Loved every minute of the night I stayed out here. A place I will definitely be back to explore. (at White Pockets Wilderness)
Never in my life have I witnessed a more spectacular sunset than this. Standing in 30mph winds in the Cotton Bail Basin of @deathvalleynps this fireball lined up perfectly with my shot. Incredible color, texture and form as the lower clouds seemed to wrap around the higher dark one. That is salt on the ground and those water tracks were actually filled with water earlier in the day but the intense wind dried them up. Death Valley is one of my favorite locations and I will always be thankful for this evening. (at Death Valley National Park)
Looking back on my trip to Iceland I'm still blown away by the beauty and diversity there. Jaw dropping scenes at every turn. I'm hoping to capture Iceland in the winter next time! This image was taken in June when the lupine are in full bloom. (at Vik, Iceland)
Slightly breezy at Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes yesterday...45mph gusting sand to the face does wonders for the skin...I'm still cleaning the sand out of my eyes and teeth. 😷 The dunes have been completely stripped down and will take some time to get back to normal I'd imagine. Have you ever been out in wind like this? (at Death Valley National Park)
Croda da Lago cuts into the sky in the Dolomites of northern Italy. I couldn't believe my eyes with these amazing mountains. Looks peaceful right? Well about 50 feet to my left was my good 'ole rental car, wedged in and stuck on the road up to Cinque Torre. Yup, nailed it! Asked for an SUV, but apparently they don't have those to rent...So, as the road got a little too rugged, I asked Natalie to direct me in turning around in a little nook on the road. We didn't quite see the higher ridge on the back left that I precisely drove up onto and spun out on with the mud and then had no room to move forward. Totally stuck, blocking the road—awesome. So as this perfect light was beginning to show on the face of the mountains, I was digging in the dirt, then hiking to the Refugio to call in a tow truck—thank God that was an option. These guys were amazing with their mini-tow truck, rigging an insane pulley system around a boulder and lifting the car out of this predicament. As we were waiting for the tow truck I took a stress relieving moment to snap off a few frames of Croda da Lago with the last slice of sunlight on the mountains and the rising moon behind. Not exactly the evening in the Dolomites I had planned, but we survived! Our few days in the Dolomites was an incredible experience, but this was the only evening we actually got any light. So one day I will have to return! (at Croda da Lago - 2046m)
Cabo sunrise. Humid mornings make for some nice glowy light! Another take on this location from our trip last year. (at Cabo San Lucas, Mexico)
The most flowers I've literally ever seen out in Oregon this past April. Endless fields of color. Took this while scouting out some locations during the afternoon with @milesmorganphotography (at The Dalles, Oregon)
A peaceful night out on the dunes. Found this leading line in the nick of time! Can't wait to get back to Death Valley. Didn't even make it to Badwater Basin this first time. Hopefully in a few weeks! Stay tuned. (at Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, Death Valley)
Looking back on my trip to Argentina a few years back, I am still amazed by the variety natural wonders and climates. From the far south, near El Calafate, lies the most incredible one of all - Perito Moreno. This glacier is 6km wide and one of the only remaining advancing glaciers in the world, moving almost 3 meters per day! Piercing sounds of cracking ice shoot through air as massive slabs break off into the water. Hands down the most magical place I've ever been. Here I was able to hike on part of the glacier and capture some of the patterns and folds up close. The ice glows an other worldly blue. If you ever get the chance to go to Argentina, do not miss this place! (at Glaciar Perito Moreno)
Venice, Italy just before sunrise looking over the gondolas to San Giorgio Maggiore Church. Loved watching the sun come up at this iconic spot. Great way to kick off our Italy trip! Like the cool colors contrasting the warm lamplight in this long exposure. (at San Giorgio Maggiore (church), Venice)
Glacier National Park is one of my favorites in the US. Here at Logan Pass I found one of the few patches of flowers left after a low snowfall year. Some great last light glow lit up behind Mt. Clements. My lens was inches from these flowers and I focus stacked 6 shots for sharpness throughout. Wasn't happy with my original process of this shot so here it is again. Thanks for the follows! (at Logan Pass, Glacier National Park)
