Denali, Denali National Park, Alaska
You are looking at one of the first pictures ever taken of "Denali", the highest mountain peak in North America. While that statement is fun to say (and true in a sense), a tremendous number of photographs have been taken of this mountain long prior to my arrival. However, the mountain's name was "Mt McKinley" from June 1896 until about just before I arrived. On August 28, 2015, Sally Jewell, US Secretary of the Interior, announced that the mountain would be renamed "Denali" (Wikipedia). Two weeks later, my opportunity to photograph this mountain came.
With an elevation of 20,310' (6,190.5 m), the peak of Denali can be seen be seen from at least 125 miles away тАУ on a clear day. The last part of that sentence is a key one. Getting close to this mountain (for most) requires a shuttle/tour bus ride deep into Denali National Park's 92 mile mostly-stone road. Even those making the effort to get deep into the park stand only a 30% chance of seeing this mountain's peaks due to the clouds that frequently engulf it.
I spent a large amount of time planning and traveling to get to the location for this image and was blessed with a beautiful day for my long-in-advance-scheduled tour (after a morning snowstorm, the sky even cleared enough on my backup day to make the peaks visible once again). With the weather cooperating, taking the actual photograph was easy part.
I selected a manual exposure that would make the sunlit snow at the top of the mountains nearly pure white (barely blinking in the camera LCD) while using an f/8 aperture (for ideal sharpness and depth of field) and ISO 100 (for noise-free images). The resulting shutter speed of 1/160 was adequate for resting the awesome combination of the Canon EOS 5Ds R (www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EOS-5Ds-R.aspx) and the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM Lens (www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-100-400mm-f-...) on my backpack. With the ideal exposure locked in, I was free to quickly capture a variety of compositions of this incredible view during the 15 minute shuttle bus stop, with all being ideally exposed.
In the end, I merged two images to add a couple of hundred pixels to the right and left sides of the base images, giving the side-to-side balance that looked right to me.
I usually have a circular polarizer filter mounted when I'm photographing landscapes and usually note this use in the notes below relevant image posts. But, I want to make special mention of CPL use here because of the significant difference it made in the deep saturation and contrast of the foreground in this image. Like no other, this filter can add WOW! to your images.

Fantastic light and epic light done always occur together but then there is always exceptions to every rule. We have fantastic light on two our to three mornings at this location. On this particular day there were blue skies, alpine glow on Vatnajokull, there were blue iceberg in turquoise waters. What more can you ask for?
How was this image created?
Sometimes the conditions are such that you can photography the scene with just a simple 2 stop soft GND filter and everything would be perfect. This image required just minor local contrast adjustment and highlight adjustment. No fancy HDRs or processing.
Anyone interested in a workshop in Iceland in 2014? ;))

I love waking up at 3.00 AM to see sights like this? Dont you? NO? Come on where is your landscape photography spirit? ;))
Glacier is breathtaking at anytime of the day and on this occasion we caught a the faint glow of pre-dawn light on the clouds as we were waiting for the sun to come up. To get to this location we had to climb down a steep bank in dark and we were lucky not to run across any bears.
How was this image taken?
This image used a 4 stop ND filter to create long shutter speed effect. Because focusing was difficult in low light a ND Filter, I pre-focused the camera before mounting the filter. The exposure was set to capture the glow in the clouds and the mountains. Due to heavy overcast conditions only a single exposure was needed to capture this image.

I encountered numerous lion's mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata, AKA the giant jellyfish or the hair jelly) while walking the docks at Seward Harbor in Alaska.
With a Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM Lens mounted to the Canon EOS 5Ds R, I was focused on harborscapes and was not expecting small subjects such as jellyfish. While I could have gone back to the SUV for the 100-400mm Lens, I was able to find a couple of these subjects just below the dock, allowing me to occasionally get close enough to fill much of the 70mm frame.
By photographing a lion's mane that was near the surface with a circular polarizer filter cutting the reflections and by adding some contrast in post processing, I was able to get an underwater look from a surface-captured image. In post, I removed some debris in the water and increased saturation a bit to brighten the colors. Hard to see at this resolution is the small jellyfish, one of the lion's mane jellyfish's prey, just out of tentacle reach toward the left side of the frame.
Someone said ICM (or Intentional Camera Movement) was a boring and senseless technique. Nothing is boring nor senseless if you enjoy doing it.
Here's an abstract (using ICM) of Omaha Beach, Normandy, France.
Shutter speed: 1/30s
Camera: Fujifilm X-E5
Lens: Fujinon 90mm f2
Use a small aperture, here f/14, to be able to use a slow shutter speed in broad daylight. When the light is too bright, you might need to use a neutral grey filter to be able to use a slow shutter speed. Here it wasn't necessary. Move your camera while pressing the shutter button. Move fast or slow, up or down, in circles or whatever way you like. The motion creates abstract, painterly effects with blurring shapes and colours. It's often used to convey movement, emotion, or atmosphere rather than catpuring sharp details. Every single attempt is different. It's great fun and very relaxing to spend your time with.

тАЬAnd now my comrades all are gone;
Naught remains to toast
They have left me here in my misery,
Like some poor wandering ghost.тАЭ тАУUnknown
Another reprocessed photo from my archives.
There are touristy ghost towns like Tombstone, Arizona and uncommercial, authentic ghost towns such as Bodie, California. Although five percent of the original town remains, the town is eye candy for amateur and professional photographers alike.
Located in the Eastern Sierras of California, Bodie once boasted a population of 10,000 people thus making one of the largest towns in California during its time. With a combination of gamblers, miners, prospectors and corrupt politicians it was rumored a murder took place once a day in the town. To keep Bodie unique and authentic, the state park service has maintained a policy called arrested decay; the original buildings will remain as they are with little or no maintenance from the park rangers.
A walk through the town is literally a walk into the past...only this time as visitors you have a good chance of coming out alive.
I got this shot by lowering my tripod until my camera was literally inches off the ground. Lying on my belly I set the proper hyperfocal distance setting to gain the greatest depth of field (basically everything from front to back is in focus and sharp).
After I got done taking this shot a couple of photographers "were in line" to get a similar composition. I laughed and moved on to my next shot.
Notes: Canon EOS 20D, Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM

It seems that most of us photographers are intrigued by the circles created by motion blur. I don't know exactly what it is about spinning subjects, but ... when blurred, they frequently make good compositions. Amusement parks, fairs and other events featuring rides are great locations to find circular motion.
Creating the blur simply requires a tripod and the exposure duration long enough to get the desired amount of blur effect. Since long exposures generally require low light levels, dawn and dusk (as seen in this example) are good times for this type of photography. Alternatively, use a neutral density filter under brighter lighting conditions.

This photograph has been in my hard drive since 2007. For the longest time I hesitated to post this since I didnтАЩt want to give away the secret location.
I had to leave my motel two hours before sunrise to reach the trailhead and then hike for about fifteen minutes to reach this point. Once there I had this magnificent arch all to myself. So how did I find this undiscovered natural landmark? Patience, hours of hiking and cash incentives for the locals (otherwise known as bribes).
So to all my Flickr friends I offer you this secret arch which will probably soon be a classic of the American Southwest. National Geographic I await your phone call!
Okay before you call me delusional, yes, this is Mesa Arch located in Canyonlands National Park in Utah. ThereтАЩs only a million and one photos here on Flickr and all with similar composition. Either way, this is a тАЬmust photographтАЭ American Southwest icon.
And no you will not be alone, there will be plenty of company with you! Get there early and choose your spot wisely because once your fellow photographers arrive youтАЩll be boxed in.
Nothing will prepare for the amazing spectacle that will soon be unveiled. When the sun appears the underside of the arch will glow a vivid red. Hearts will pound and your camera shutter button will get a great workout.
So Mesa Arch isnтАЩt a secret to landscape photographers. That should only embolden you to find the next American Southwest classic natural landmark. Just have patience, stamina for hiking and lots of cash!
Happy Travels!

People seem to enjoy being creeped out around this time of the year (Halloween) and spiders are a perennial favorite source of creepiness. They happen to be my wife's biggest fear at any time of the year, so when I brought a mother wolf spider carrying a big "cluster" of babies into the house for a photo op (it was dark outside), she was not too happy. And when the spider jumped off of my white paper background and lost her cluster, I went back outside (after corralling what seemed like hundreds of babies that fell off of mom's back).
I wasn't looking to create an award-winning photo of this spider, but wanted decent quality without much time investment. I mounted a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro Lens (www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-100mm-f-2.8-...) to a Canon EOS 5Ds R (www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EOS-5Ds-R.aspx) and attached a Canon Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX II Flash (www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-Macro-Ring-Lite...). The scene was dark (even inside) and the lens shaded the subject at this distance, so I utilized the MR-14EX's focus assist lights to manually focus on the mother's eyes (all 8 of them) with the plane of sharp focus angled to include many of the babies.
As mentioned, I went high-tech with the background: a sheet of white printer paper goes with everything. With the main subject being medium-dark colored, I was able to boost the highlights slightly in post, creating a pure white background, without negatively impacting the mid and dark tones.
Spiders are a popular fall theme and that is probably the only time of the year when you can post a spider picture that gets socially shared. Dig out one of your spider pics or better yet, go create a new one. Share it and peg the creep-out meter.

I really enjoy capturing light trails...but i might be getting a bit close to them...;-}

LIGHT TRAIL - A line recorded on film resulting from movement of a point of light (or camera movement) during the exposure. Star trails are one example.

Docklands is the semi-official name for an area in East and South East London, comprising parts of several boroughs (Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Newham and Greenwich). The docks were formerly part of the Port of London, at one time the world's largest port. They have now been redeveloped principally for commercial and residential use. The name London Docklands was used for the first time in a government report on redevelopment plans in 1971 but has since become virtually universally adopted. It also created conflict between the new and old communities of the London Docklands.
Over the past 20 years, the population of the Docklands has more than doubled and the area has become both a major business centre and an increasingly acceptable area to live. Transport links have improved significantly, with the Isle of Dogs gaining a tube connection via the Jubilee Line Extension (opened 1999) and the DLR being extended to Beckton, Lewisham, London City Airport, North Woolwich and Stratford. Canary Wharf has become one of Europe's biggest clusters of skyscrapers and a direct challenge to the financial dominance of the City.
Although most of the old Dockland wharves and warehouses have been demolished, some have been restored and converted into flats. Most of the docks themselves have survived and are now used as marinas or watersports centres (the major exception being the Surrey Commercial Docks, now largely filled in). Although large ships can - and occasionally still do - visit the old docks, all of the commercial traffic has moved down-river.
The revival of the Docklands has had major effects in run-down surrounding areas. Greenwich and Deptford are undergoing large-scale redevelopment, chiefly as a result of the improved transport links making them more attractive to commuters.
The Docklands' redevelopment has, however, had some less beneficial aspects. The massive property boom and consequent rise in house prices has led to friction between the new arrivals and the old Docklands communities, who have complained of being squeezed out. It has also made for some of the most striking disparities to be seen anywhere in Britain: luxury executive flats constructed alongside run-down public housing estates.
The Docklands' status as a symbol of Thatcher's Britain has also made it a target for terrorists. After a failed attempt to bomb Canary Wharf, on February 9, 1996, a large IRA bomb exploded at South Quay. Two people died in the explosion, forty people were injured and an estimated ┬г150m of damage was caused(1). This bombing ended an IRA ceasefire.[1] In a 1998 trial James McArdle was imprisoned for 25 years after a trial at Woolwich Crown Court that ended on June 24. Under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement, McArdle was released on June 28, 2000.
(1) The parlous state of the Docklands property market at the time of the blast, combined with a lengthy delay in implementing redevelopment, means a true estimate of the financial cost is difficult to reach.
London Docklands also now boasts its own free newspaper, The Docklands, launched in 2006 by Archant London. This is a mixture of news, sport and lifestyle, and comes out every Tuesday. It is delivered to properties in the area and available to pick up from various locations in Canary Wharf, Greenwich and the Royal Docks. It is the newspaper with the highest circulation in the area. A sister title, The Peninsula, was launched in 2007, covering the Greenwich Peninsula.
In a further sign of regeneration in the area, the Docklands now has its own symphony orchestra - Docklands Sinfonia - which is based at St Anne's Limehouse. Conductor and founder Spencer Down has said he wants the orchestra, which was formed in January 2009, to be a 'major cultural force' in the Docklands. Ahead of Docklands Sinfonia's first rehearsal, the East London Advertiser remarked that the area would soon have its "own posh symphony orchestra to rival anything in the West End.

To this this photos I stood in the cold rain and wind at Artist Point for almost 3 hours. Finally the clouds parted and spotlights kept moving towards all over the landscape. One of the photographers visiting the location let me try his Canon 100-400mm Lens which I used to see the details in the falls.
How was this image created?
I took a single exposure with intent of reprocessing it in the#Photoshop . The exposure had some over exposed highlight, but I knew that I would be able to restore their details using our iHDR workflow. The time of the photograph was important because I wanted to showcase mist...and for this to happen the spotlight had to fall on the falls.
Enjoy & Share.

тАЬTimeless yet timeworn, grand but intimate, oblivious to the passing centuries even as the jungle devours its huge stone walls, Angkor Wat and the scores of temples that surround it hint at eternity, only to remind us that nothing is eternal.тАЭ тАУ Seth Mydans, The New York Times
The crowds and humidity are stifling when doing the obligatory postcard sunrise shot of Angkor Wat. HereтАЩs a simple photo tip if you ever decide to make it out the beautiful temples of Angkor. The sun rises behind Angkor Wat, so to avoid the crowds and to photograph the temple bathed in warm, soft light head off to the side where you will be in complete solitude. The only people you may encounter are the park employees and their children.
I used the tree branches off in the corners to frame the shot and waited for one of the employees to ride by in a bicycle to add more of a dynamic element.
Happy Travels!

Gembleng Waterfall, located in the eastern part of Bali near Sidemen, is a stunning multi-tiered cascade that has gained widespread popularity in recent years. Its layered rock formations and natural infinity pools create a mesmerizing visual effect, making it a prime subject for landscape photography. The contrast between the silky, flowing waterтАФachieved through long exposureтАФand the rugged volcanic rock enhances the waterfallтАЩs dynamic appeal.
Due to its exposure on social media, Gembleng Waterfall is often crowded, especially during peak hours. To capture the scene without distractions, it is best to arrive early in the morning when the light is soft, and the atmosphere remains serene. A sturdy tripod and an ND filter are essential for achieving smooth water motion while retaining detail in the lush surrounding foliage. The locationтАЩs vibrant greenery, combined with the dark, wet rock textures, provides a rich color palette that is particularly striking after recent rainfall.
Although accessibility is relatively easy, reaching the upper pools requires a short climb, which is worthwhile for a breathtaking panoramic view of the Sidemen valley. For photographers seeking dramatic compositions, the waterfall's vertical layers and reflective water surfaces offer endless creative possibilities. Whether capturing the scene in golden morning light or during BaliтАЩs lush green season, Gembleng Waterfall remains a spectacular subject for nature and landscape photography.

Arches is a great little National Park to photograph. Unlike Yellowstone, which requires hundred of miles of driving, Arches is a manageable park with most of the classic sites within reach of parking your car.
Photographing Arches is also made very pleasant since nearby is the handy gateway town of Moab, Utah. This also makes it a great base to photograph nearby Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park.
Some photo and travel tips regarding my trip to Arches National Park and vicinity:
Think small: Fly into a smaller regional airport. Rather than flying into a big airport hub like Salt Lake City and driving five hours to get to Moab, I flew into Grand Junction, Colorado and drove an hour and half along a scenic highway to get to my destination. In addition, the much smaller regional airports are a breeze for travelers as opposed to the behemoth airports that require miles of walking and tons of headaches.
Get an alarm clock: Many people have e-mailed me asking how I get such brilliant colors in my photographs. Get up early and stay out late to photograph at sunrise and sunset when nature's light returns the favor of your early rising with deep saturated colors.
Read before you see: Before I even click my shutter button I do extensive research of the places I photograph. I read guidebooks, magazines and photo website forums for advice on the best shot locations. Also, I'll read books that feature my trip destination to give me a better appreciation of the places I'll discover. For example, for my trip to Savannah, GA I read John Berendt's "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil." For this trip I read the classic, "Desert Solitaire: A Season In the Wilderness," by Edward Abbey.
Rock Steady: To get those super sharp photos you'll need a tripod. I travel with a very lightweight carbon fiber tripod that is small enough to fit into my carry on luggage. Good landscape photography requires shooting in weak light (sunrise and sunset) and small apertures. Canon "L" lenses will deliver some great shots for you but if your camera isn't steady you will get blurry photos. Invest in a good tripod before you invest in quality lenses.
Seek Inspiration to be Inspired: In downtown Moab, UT you can visit Tom Till's photography gallery. Yes, you can duplicate his classic shots but this will inspire you to search deeper to find your own "classics" while improving your photography skills.
What a Bargain: Invest in a National Park Pass. If you want to meet Europeans there is no need to go to Europe just visit your local National Park. I have met many more Europeans than Americans in the many National Parks I have visited. There's a reason why so many foreign travelers visit our parks because the wondrous beauty of our national treasures are unparalleled. Visit our National Parks before some of our national treasures are gone.
This is a sunrise shot of Turret Arch looking through the North Window. Get here early to catch a spectacular light show. In the Windows section of the park take the trail toward the North Window and hike right under it until you see a trail that you can scramble up on to get to a ledge. From here you can shoot the classic photo that you see above. That little white speck you see on the upper left hand side is the moon.
