I recently took a trip around a fairly large swath of southern Oregon and northern California in the western USA. The landscape was not simply incredibly rich in natural beauty, but stunning in its wide variety. One of my favorite photography subjects are waterfalls and this geographic region is home to some of the most spectacular falls you’ll find anywhere. […]
As a nearly lifetime climber, I am in love with cliffs and all things about them. I have been lucky enough to climb and experience them all over the world. From the small to the truly colossal, they are all fascinating to me. There are so many amazing places, that it’s nearly impossible […]
You don’t have to be in love to love Bali. It’s a magical place all by itself and these three hotels are some of my favorite accommodations on the island, whether you’re traveling alone, or with someone you love. However, if you’re looking for places to stay that particularly lend themselves to romance, then you can’t go […]
This post is the second installment showing basic gear, in the field techniques and other methods for getting those “Cover of National Geographic” photos of waterfalls and other types of moving water. Actually, most of the techniques discussed here are applicable to most image making where long exposures are required. This article is about […]
Dell and I get a lot of requests from people asking how we photograph waterfalls and other types of moving water, such as creeks and coastlines so we’ve decided to write a short overview we hope will help. Actually, we’re in the process of putting together a complete video series that goes into much greater detail and hope […]
Last month, my girlfriend Dell and I took a detour and stopped in at Port Townsend, Washington on our way past during a trip that included Oregon, Washington and BC Canada. It was a little out of the way, but I’m really glad we went. There was a specific reason for this stop that had to do with a much more […]
Earlier this summer I chanced upon one of the most beautiful and inspiring waterfalls I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen a lot) in one of the most unlikely places I could imagine. On a road trip through British Columbia in Western Canada I chanced upon this incredible little oasis situated smack dab in what is reputedly the driest, hottest place […]
After my last post on this amazing place, I continued traveling around British Columbia in Western Canada for a few more weeks and ran across some incredible places and people I will write about in later posts. What I did do on the way back was revisit Squamish, […]
There’s a small town with huge personality and incredible beauty situated smack dab in between Vancouver and Whistler BC Canada. I think most casual tourists making the trip to and from Vancouver and Whistler just sort of stumble onto it unexpectedly with big googly eyes and a slack jaw. They don’t expect something like this and it probably wasn’t on their […]
Canada’s (Not So) Hidden Jewel
Over the years, I have had occasion to spend relatively extended periods in the Okanagan region of Western Canada during my travels. For anyone unfamiliar with this area, you are in for a treat if you ever get a chance to visit. Located roughly between Vancouver, BC and Calgary, Alberta, […]
