I had this vision in my head for a barn out in a wide open field with a dramitic sky. So here is what I came up with...
On the White Rim Trail, since campfires aren't allowed, and there's no wood to burn anyway, we created our own "campfire" by pooling all our LED flashlights and lanterns. We made a campfire ring and staged the chairs to make it appear as though we were sitting around a real fire.
This image was taken during a morning explore of woods at Stourhead.
This area used to be filled with trees, however due to imports of plants that have brought with them a disease. To attempt to halt the spread of the disease (currently unable to recall the its name) trees have been needed to be cut down.
However there is hope with new trees being planted, some can be seen in the foreground.
On the dyke at Den Helder, near the ferry to Texel. This too is what the Netherlands can be like. Explore #130.
The Excelsior slowly decomposing in the swamps of Mutton Cove. I tried something a bit different with the post processing going for a darker, grungier look.
A frozen snow covered Lake Ontario, with an empty marina and the Martello Tower still guarding the lake since it was built in 1846.
We made a quick trip to Devil's Golf Course while on the way to Badwater in Death Valley. It's amazing how sharp the salt formations are....its basically a field of razor blades! A storm was beginning to move in and moody skies developed.

I could see this White tree stand out from far away, and in my opinion it makes for a nice foreground. This was taken near the Kong lor Cave in Laos, a beautiful place to visit…

The Valley of Desolation is located about 17kms (aprox. 10 mi) from the Karoo town of Graaf-Reinert. I shot this in '92 or '93 when we were shooting scenes for a TV commercial in and around the town, and had a short break to go exploring, The picture above is scanned from a colour transparency and converted to mono using Silver FX Pro 2. I can't remember the film, but the camera was an Olympus OM4 Ti.
