Just back from 7 nights of camping, hiking and chasing the light with a few friends in the wilds of southeast Utah and extreme northern Arizona. In the corse of the week I visited many locations from the vast empty spaces of the Mohave Preserve to lunar landscapes in the San Rafael Swell and of course canyon country.

It was an amazing week with good friends, moonlit camps, beers, hikes and great conversations….not to mention some great light and photography!

Nikon D800e, Tokina 16-28mm, 4 seconds, F8, 7 images focused stacked for depth of field.

“Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me…” – Gus Kahn

ओ माझी रे……
अपना किनारा, नदियाँ की धारा है

Every 8 minutes, this Icelandic geyser erupts, sometimes launching a column of water 40 feet high. This made a fascinating photography subject. The water expands and retracts before eruption, creating this blue bubble. The heat from the water creates steam, often the steam itself was obstructing a clear image of the bubble. I got lucky as the steam had parted just long enough for me to get a clear shot of the bubble at the moment of eruption.
