Stepping Sand

Please follow me on FACEBOOK for the latest!

Here is another perspective I shot on the same day when I went out shooting with Daniel. This time I came across one interesting dune which had a step on it instead of a complete smooth slope downward. The texture on it is what really attracted me to it.

The reason for me to choose such a perspective is because I wanted to highlight the step that existed on this sand dune along with the curves that complement it as well.

Although this shot was made at dusk, I intentionally choiced a very cool white balance to enhance the blue effect.

After few attempts in this exclusive alpine location, I reached my goal to admire an interesting sunrise at Stellisee in the Zermatt mountains. Im very happy for the friends of my photo workshop that spent there a very cold night below zero!!

was a bitter cold morning in fjallsarlon with almost the entire lagoon frozen over like antartica, sunrise color lights up the scene with amazing blues and red-oranges all over the frame. once of the most amazing mornings I have had during winter in iceland, it was also very windy and you had to wear crampons all the way down as soon as you stepped out of the bus.

Occasionally I plan trips solely around getting a certain shot or visiting a particular location. Without finding enough people interested to head up to the Canadian Rockies I fell back on a years old plan to Escalante. Escalante has always been a spot I wanted to visit but timing never quite came together for such a trip. Although my primary focus for Escalante was Zebra slot, this shot became increasingly the feature piece and the photo I really wanted to capture.

Located in Coyote Gulch, this cascading waterfall is arguably one of the most photogenic in the southwest. After visiting Coyote Gulch, I understand why many consider it the premiere hike of the southwest. In stark contrast to the surrounding desert, Coyote Gulch is a deep canyon filled with lush vegetation and towering sandstone walls that create breathtaking amphitheaters.

Initially I was anxious to find out the conditions in the canyon hoping the fall colors were not past peek or even worse completely gone. Luckily my fears were allayed after slogging through the desert and arriving at the rim of the canyon. Below, I saw the lush vegetation full of fall colors.

Everything seemed to all come together as Aaron and I arrived at the waterfall. The back wall was glowing, the water flow was excellent and the cottonwoods were a beautiful golden yellow (though a bit past peak). All in all, this is pretty close to a southwest paradise.

being from Eastern Washington, I have shot Palouse falls many times, but this was, by far, the best sunset I have ever witnessed at the falls
