Horseshoe Bend is the name for a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River located near the town of Page, Arizona, in the United States. It is located slightly downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell, about four miles or 6 km south of Page. Accessible via a 3⁄4-mile (1.2 km) hike from U.S. Route 89, it can be viewed from the steep cliff above, forming a spectacular vista. / This image is actually made of 4 pictures taken with my Canon 20D – 17-40mm L lens and stitched together to create this panoramic

Taken on the trail to “The Basin” on Friday October 3/08. Nikon D40, Nikkor 18-55mm lens. / The Basin is a naturally occuring granite bowl in the White Mountains range and is part of the Franconia Notch State Park, located in the heart of the popular White Mountain National Forest, New Hampshire USA / On this trail are cascades and waterfalls leading to The Basin, which is believed to have been eroded 15,000 years ago while the North American ice sheet was melting. The Basin has been smoothed by small stones and sand, whirled around by the Pemigewasset River. / I didn’t make it as far as The Basin this time (have been there in the past), because I was caught by surprise in an unexpected downpour. I quickly shoved my camera into the case and wrapped my sweater around it. Then looked for my friend Wanda who was nowhere to be found. She had made it all the way to The Basin ahead of me. I was lucky to find cover under the roof of an outhouse at the beginning of the trail. It rained and hailed for about 20 minutes. When my friend Wanda made it back, she was soaking wet. This is one of two shots I managed to get. !

This was my final glance from the rim on the South side. From this moment forward I spent 8 hard days backpacking through the Grand Canyon. It was a magical and mind-clearing event. Yes, I packpacked with camera and heavy tripod. NO FILM to carry this time!!!
At the end of a rugged 11 mile hike across hard, dry, black lava, I finally reached my goal—a tiny campsite nestled against a cloud-shrouded cliff. / I set up my tent and just wanted to plop down and take my boots off. But I had seen a tiny foot trail on a map, which led up the cliffs from this campsite. I grabbed my camera and headed into the mist. There, just a 10 minute hike up a muddy trail, I became surrounded by birds, moisture, ferns, and colors. It was an awesome spot, and thankfully hard enough to reach that very few people will ever find it. Selfish of me? Perhaps.
This is my favorite image which I captured a year ago on an 8-day backpack into the incredible canyon. It was my first trip there, and I was with non-photographer/hard-core hiker types. So, I had to shoot on-the-go with very little time to think about my shots. This was the only day that we saw any clouds, and it really helped make the photo work. I didn’t realize this at the time, but the lines really draw the viewer in to the art. Lucky me. I leave tomorrow for another week-long backpack into the Grand Canyon!
Taken on the East Coast Trail. / 100% natural light.
I spent last week in the wilderness, backpacking through the inner depths of the Grand Canyon. A small side trail led to “Ribbon Falls” from Bright Angel stream on the North Rim. So I went. The place was a magical oasis in the hot and arid desert. I photographed for an hour and then left. I was not satisfied. I had to return. Several days later with sore feet and eager to begin my 4000 foot climb out to civilization, I passed this side trail again and went in for a second look at the falls. The sun was different, and so was the mood. I “felt” the place much better this time and “let the picture take me” this time. I like the result.
A groomed walking trail in the woods at Oka Park, during the winter, and an beach/park access road in the summer, Quebec CANADA. There was not a soul in sight today when we walked there. The silence was incredible, all we could hear was the crunch of the snow beneath our feet, the occasional rustle of our winter coats as we moved our arms, and our breath as we inhaled and exhaled. The trees shielded us from the wind. It was a very peaceful experience. At the very end of this path is the beach, now of course completely hidden by a layer of snow, but an inviting open space when we arrived, and we happily made our way to the lodge for a fireside sip of hot chocolate. / Taken mid-afternoon on December 31st/08, New Year’s Eve. Nikon D40, 18-55mm Nikkor lens

My friend and Estes Park neighbor, Shiloh and Me on the Wild Basin Trail in Rocky Mountain National Park yesterday. The whole area was snowpacked and beautiful. We did have to pay attention and stay in the middle of the trail….or…...as you can see, if we even stepped off a little to the side, we would sink up to our knees! It was a fun day…. :-)
Kaua’i, Hawaii. I’ve been to this under-rated island the first time for our honeymoon in 2004. When we took on the difficult 11-mile Kalalau Trail, I knew that wasn’t the last time I’ll be walking its deliciously muddy path. In 2008, I found myself tromping the same slick trail. It was as beautiful and rewarding as I remembered it to be. The best part of that hike? The chance to share it with our son (then 7 months old) who was such a trooper in his backpack carrier. I took this shot with him squirming behind me, eager to see what the fuss was all about ;)

Sedona, Az. This is one of many beautiful views from Airport Loop Trail. Sedona has over a hundred trails that range from very easy to very hard.

watercolour on Arches cold pressed paper 12” x 16” Lyda Bay is one of the attractions found when hiking the Casque Isles Trail, along the north shore of Lake Superior just oustside of Terrace Bay, Ontario. I have visited this bay a number of times and love the peaceful solitude it always offers. Grumbacher watercolors on 140lb paper. The water is a an ultramarine blue wash fading into a sepia brown.
3200 ISO is a brave new world for me. As a self confessed low ISO junkie, one who used Ektar 25 film whenever and wherever he could for many years because I wanted tight grain, the tighter the better, I would pull out all the stops I could to use that amazing ISO 25 film! For sure I’d never gone above ISO 1000 and then only to shoot indoor sporting events. Low ISO was(?) a hang-up for me! But I wanted to try astral photography and high ISO can get you there! However as we all know high ISO leads to increased noise which is something fairly new to me. You can use software and Photoshop plugins but I’ve been considering, one way to control noise would be to minimize or eliminate it by keeping the ISO as low as possible and that’s one way I‘m leaning. So in that regard it looks like a fast 50 prime is in order! It’s fun to be experimenting and learning, eh!
