Here's another shot from our March Milky Way Workshop. We had a few hazy clouds that I thought added interest to the sky. Our April and June workshops are now full but we still have a spot left on the May workshop. Sign up soon if you're interested!

This spot on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon was difficult to get out to, but the views were sure worth it as you could shoot in just about every direction! At sunset, several storms were moving through and it was tough to decide which one to concentrate on. This is a single shot image using my lightning trigger at 1/4sec shutter speed. The sound of the booming thunder all around me was an experience I won't soon forget. Within a few minutes of taking this shot, the rain began to fall in earnest. Even though I was completely soaked, I was grinning from ear to ear. What a magical evening. I'll have lots more to share from this night.

We sure had some great memories from our workshops this year! On this particular evening, the rain and wind created such mesmerizing textures and shapes in the clouds. It was simply icing on the cake when the sun poked through and illuminated this rainbow. I caught one of our workshop participants hurrying to setup a shot. I don't know about you, but I love having a human element in landscapes like this that look larger than life. We're already gearing up for lots more fun in 2020! Join us for an amazing photography adventure. Hurry since many are either sold out or close to full. Learn more here: https://actionphototours.com/utah-arizona-photo-workshops/

We just finished our second Palouse Workshop of 2020 and everyone had a great time chasing crazy weather, exploring the countryside, and photographing the beautiful landscapes! This old truck was a workshop highlight, set among the verdant green hills with dappled light and beautiful skies. We had big smiles on our faces and it didn't matter that our pants were soaking wet from walking through the tall grass! Sometimes it feels good to be a "kid" again. We have dates set for our 2021 Palouse Workshops - one for spring greenery and the other for the harvest. Our loyalty group will get notification this week and the general mailing list for next week.

Spring in the Palouse

Waitlist - June 10-13 & 14-17, 2021

One thing I love about slot canyons is that the light is always changing, depending on the time of year and time of day you visit. And in photography, it really is all about the light! On this hike, we were mesmerized for hours by the undulating swirls and textures of the sandstone slot. When we rounded a bend a saw this one small beam of light entering the canyon, I hurried and setup my gear and captured Evelyn before the light disappeared. This is a single exposure image taken from a tripod. I used ISO 800 to get a short enough shutter speed to render Evelyn sharp.

We have been having a blast on our Storm Chasing Workshops, especially with all the active monsoon activity over the past few days! Here is a shot from our chase last night. As sunset approached, a large rainbow appeared. But right as we started to photograph it, the rain began to fall in earnest. We quickly drove further away to escape the rain and got there just in time to catch the last of the giant rainbow. The wind was blowing and raindrops were quickly collecting on my lens. I hooked up my lightning trigger and this shot was captured right in-between when I was blowing off my lens! About 2 mins later, we were all running for cover as the rain started to pour down. Dramatic lightning shows continued all around us for several more hours. What a fun night we had!! 2021 Storm Chasing Dates will be announced soon to our email subscribers. We expect this to fill quickly, so make sure you join our newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/actionphototours/6xxbe3zqgj

The North Slope of Alaska is one of the few places you can photograph musk oxen in the wild. This is the real deal - not like photographing them at the famous musk-oxen farm! I liked this shot since the oxen broke from their grazing pattern and turned in my direction at the same time. That doesn't happen very often!   We're offering a photo tour to the northern reaches of Alaska in Fall of 2016.
