To say the Grand Canyon is immense would be a huge understatement. With an area that encompasses over 1.2 million acres, a length of 277 miles and about a mile deep, it is impossible to capture its magnificence in a single photograph. When you do try to photograph it, you must pick small microcosms of the landscape and have the best light possible. That is why photographing it in the early morning and at sunset is a must to get a decent shot. Photographing the canyon during the rest of the day only results in terrible haze (at least that has been my experience). With that in mind, I camped out at Yavapai Point during the last hour of sun and tried to get the light on the point and the background as clear as possible to show the crevices and shadows.
One of the best things about Grand Teton National Park are the many turnouts and overlooks that have been built along the park's two main roads, US Route 89 and Teton Park Road. These stops on the road provide many beautiful views of the massive Teton Range, which are part of the larger Rocky Mountain Range. I have a particular affinity for the Blacktail Ponds Overlook.
Being a sunrise location, you really need to get there early enough to get the morning light as it begins to light up the peaks and work its way down the mountains. One of the challenges when shooting at this time of day here is the high dynamic range of the scene that is often difficult for cameras to capture. Trying to blend the very bright mountains and the very dark foreground takes a bit of thought and practice. There is a fine line in balancing the image by bringing out details in the shadows while reducing the highlights to bring out the of the mountains.
This photo is from quite a few years ago when we were on vacation, sailing on a cruise around the British Isles. The ship had docked near Glasgow and we decided to take a tour on the coastline of Scotland. One of our stops was at Culzean Castle, which is actually located in a country park of the same name and is open to the public. We weren't sure what we were going to see, and as we walked along the path and saw this entrance "gate", I knew we were in for a treat.
If you live in the United Kingdom or have visited there, you probably have seen a photo of the castle -- it appears on the back of five pound notes issued by the Royal Bank of Scotland. The castle was built in 1792 for the 10th Earl of Cassilis as the seat of his earldom. It lies along the coastline, with views of the sea from various locations within the castle. The castle was given to the National Trust for Scotland in 1945 to avoid inheritance tax. One unique stipulation was that an apartment be given to Dwight Eisenhower in recognition of his leadership during World War II.

There are lots of deserted farmhouses, barns and equipment that dot the broad landscape that is the Palouse. Some of them are famous stops that numerous photographers have found and given names. Others are not as widely known (as least to me) that you stumble on and you fall in love with. That is why it pays to take a photo tour or photo workshop to take advantage of the local knowledge. This abandoned barn was located somewhere in the foothills of Steptoe Butte. It was a bit of a dreary day, but the orange equipment in the tall green grass seemed to be a great subject. Working with my friend and workshop leader extraordinaire, Denise Ippolito, we worked this scene from all angles. This composition was my favorite.
I am always beating the drum about revisiting locations when the weather doesn't cooperate, even if there are years between visits. I first stood at Sprague Lake with family and friends during a very cold and very windy day. Even though the lake is far from any real oceans, I swear that there were waves on the water surface. Okay, maybe I exaggerate a bit but not by much. The next time I stood on the lake's shore, there was a steady rain that made photography impossible. So the third time is a charm? I'll let you be the judge of that. I shot this photo last September, and, although it rained during the night, I was blessed with great light and clearing skies.
I am known to take a lot of reflection photos. I have always been fascinated with them and there is no better place to take them than on one of my favorite drives on Earth, the Icefields Parkway in Alberta, Canada. The 140-mile road links two of the most beautiful national parks in Canada: Banff National Park and Jasper National Park. The road runs parallel to the Continental Divide. The natural attractions along the route include glaciers, waterfalls, icefields, canyons and too many lakes and mountains to count. Many of these attractions are a short walk or drive off of the parkway. This image is of Herbert Lake, just north of Lake Louise. It is literally 20 feet from the road. There is no better time to shoot the lake than at sunrise. The lake is usually abandoned that early in the morning and the peace and tranquility lends itself to become one with nature.

I often try to take photos that I haven't seen before and convey different looks of a location. If you visit Moab, south of town on the highway is Wilson Arch. We passed the arch early in the morning during a snowstorm and snapped a few photos of the arch. We then headed south to visit Canyon Rims. On the way back to town, we stopped at the arch to take some photos without the snow. I have visited this location quite a number of times and had shot it from all angles, so I wasn't feeling overly interested in shooting it again. At the same time, I didn't want to waste the great clouds that we had in the sky. As I looked south from below the arch, i saw this part of the rock formation that I had never shot from before. Off I went scrambling along the rocks until I got to this spot. I used the wall of sandstone as a leading line and found that the lone tree added interest to the scene. The terrific clouds made this an even better scene.

It has been quite a while since I have posted a photo from Europe. We try to get there every other year or so, but we had to miss last year because of illness. There are so many places to see and never enough time or money. The architecture there is so different from the United States and I love learning about it and documenting it through my photos. The architecture is not limited to mainland Europe and can be found on its many islands. Up near the top of great islands and architecture to visit is the Greek Island of Santorini. Famous for its blue-domed churches, it is a mecca for photographers and vacationers alike. A great place to see them is in the town of Oia. If you are simply looking for the blue domes though, you would miss out on some terrific scenes in other parts of town. After I shot the domes, I walked around town to the other side and was able to capture this scene. The uniqueness of the architecture is still apparent with the two unusual windmills in the distance. You can also get a great appreciation of how tightly together people live on the island.

This one taken in the Central Tablelands on a poplar lined avenue of trees that is as autumnal as it is going to get! Was here last year but missed the best part of the autumn foliage, so glad to get it right this time around!
A Sunday spent taking as many photos as I could in a day with Edwin. Got up at 430 and picked up Edwin and we headed up the mountains in search of some nice scenes.
Headed to The Upper mountains for a sunrise, then over to Mt Wilson to see how the Autumn was progressing. With a few nice snaps taken in Mount Wilson and realizing the colours of Autumn were still a couple of weeks away, we headed for higher ground.
After a bit of exploration around areas we have yet to explore, we headed for a country drive around Lithgow and Bathurst where we came across some nice country, and Autumn scenes.
Headed back to the Upper mountains for a sunset, then home to bed... EXHAUSTED!
A great day had by all and many photos to go through, process and share with you all!
Not every trip or day works out for the landscape photographer. For every great day that the light, subject and weather work out, there are several that do not. This can be extremely frustrating, as getting to an iconic location can be expensive in terms of both cost and time. Months and months of planning can be turned upside down by conditions that simply don't allow for a "wall hanger" to be taken. Early in my photography trips I would lament such times with complaints and no shots. Over time, I have learned to look for other things to shoot and turn lemons into lemonade.
This photo is an example of this. Our crew was up well before dawn, and we headed out on a 45 minute drive to be in position to take a sunrise photo at one of America's most iconic locations, Oxbow Bend. It was clear the second we got there that it was going to be one of those mornings. The Tetons were socked in and the majestic Mount Moran was nowhere in sight, even though we knew it was there. Rather than lament about it, I started working the scene and, looking eastward, noticed the fog rising from the Snake River. Just for a moment, the sun peeked through the dense clouds, giving the scene some light and accentuating the fog.
On our Alaskan cruise a few years ago, we spent some time exploring Denali and taking the a full-day train ride to our cruise ship in Whittier. It was an awesome experience, but all good things come to an end. On our last morning at sea, we pulled into Vancouver Harbor to dock and disembark at Canada Place. It is one of the main sailing ports, where a steady stream of cruise ships can be seen coming and going. Canada Place, with its iconic white sails, is located in the heart of Vancouver's downtown harbor front. The only thing that made the end of the cruise palatable was that we were staying for three days in Vancouver, which is a fantastic place to visit. I shot this photo as we approached the end of our cruise.
I always enjoy looking back through my thousands of photos and taking another look at some of the places I have been. More importantly, I remember the people I was with and the fun we had together. When I came across this photo of Wilson Mesa ranch outside of Telluride, the memories of shooting with Rick Louie and Chris Nitz came back to me. Rick conducts a photo tour in Colorado, and, if you are looking to catch some Colorado foliage, look him up - you won't regret it.
If memory serves me right, this shot was taken near the end of the tour and we were sort of outrunning a storm. We spotted this scene from the road and spent quite a lot of time shooting it. After taking quite a number of shots, I didn't feel like I was capturing the full scene, so I shot this panorama that better captures what my eyes were seeing. It was a great end to the day, although when we got to Telluride, we took an interesting gondola ride through the rain and lightning, but that is a story for another post.
