Stick and Fly Version II

I know that I put up this image before, but I want to say that this one is version II, for it's remake. This image (The first Version) has won many awards, both on many social networks, but also other awards in many magazines and galleries.I just thought to put this out, edited a little different than the first one. Hope you like.

Paradise Crossing, Havasu Falls, AZ
#landscapephotography , #photographyworkflow  

One of the places that resembles paradise is Havasu Falls. The blue-green water or the Havasu Creek provides a contrasting colors palette against the orange cliff of the canyon. It is ALMOST impossible to take a bad photograph at this place...but the access to this location is difficult as it requires you to backpack (or rent a mule or fly in via helicopter).

How was this photograph created?
Simple!!!! Point and shoot with a circular polarizer. But this photograph is less about the falls and more about the human element. I wanted to take a photo from this location when +Varina Patel was crossing the Havasu creek. I waited until her small figure in red jacket would stand out against the blue-green waters of the creek. Adding a human element puts the location and scenei... more »

#Photoshop: Do you use Layers & Masks?

.....WE DO!! AND HERE IS WHY_

Don't get me wrong we dont always use them...but they are used in 90% of the times when we process an image. With the use of Layers and Masks we can control ALL aspects of the image.

Streaking @ Punchbowl Falls, Oregon
#landscapephotography   #photographyworkflow   #photographytips  

It took me almost 7 years to take this photograph. When I went to this location the first time it was in the middle of the afternoon and there was a massive log that blocked the view of the waterfalls. On my second visit I left my water shoes in the car....I mean why take shoes when there is a log blocking the view of the falls. Right? After this I had to wait one more year before I was able to go back and take a shot. ;))

How was this photograph created?
I use the vertical composition to create depth in this image. To get this photo I had to wade to into the fast moving spring flow wearing my neoprene water shoes. I waited until the bubbles in the water were close to my camera before releasing the shutter speed to capture the white streaking. I decidedto... more »

This was a real grab shot. I'd been doing some long exposure shots of this windmill and was just packing away when this couple walked over the brow of the hill and into shot. I quickly unscrewed my ND filter and recomposed but forgot I had it on bulb mode so had to flip the power off to cancel the shot, set to AV and try again. I just got this shot before they got too close to the Mill. Phew!

#NewLook: How Do I?
Love the new look but how do I...

1) Get the Landscape Oriented Photos to go across the entire screen? UPDATE:  You cant. The system selects random photos to super size this changes based on the incoming posts, screen size and some other random variables.
2) How does Google determine what are the HIGHLIGHTS from my album? Do you like this feature?
3) Upload & Share & The Same Time? UPDATE: This seem to a bug.
4) Does it take a long time to upload photos to albums with lots of images? Does anyone find Photo Upload interface buggy and bit confusing?

Path of the Sun, Glacier National Park, MT

We have been to Glacier National Park many times, but we have never quite witnessed a light display like this. What would top this? Perhaps an shot of Aurora Borealis.

And that is exactly what we will attempt to do in next 8 days in Iceland. We will attempt to blog from Iceland, but in case we don't get to it just make sure that you guys keep the photography community busy.

And if we get a spectacular shot, I will stay up all night and process to make +Patrick Di Fruscia jealous...just a bit.

Geology and Weather, Yellowstone National Park, WY

BEST VIEWED LARGE

Take a close look and you will see intricate bacterial mats superimposed with breathtaking reflections from the sky to create this fantastic image. I love the combination of Geology and Weather...they produces some of the most unique photos in my portfolio. I have an entire gallery on my website dedicated to this: 

http://www.jaypatelphotography.com/gallery/geology-and-weather

How was this image created?
This is a manually blended image using our iHDR workflow. I could have easily captured this image with a GND filter, but I had loaned my GND filter to one of the participants on our workshop. We have composition was selected to include the reflections and use the leading lines to draw the viewers into the image.

There were two, two things on my mind

One day late last summer, I got home from work and just got that feeling ... the one where you know that there's something epic happening by the ocean, and it's probably a good place to be.

I threw my gear in the car and dashed down to the part of the ocean I could get to the fastest ... it wasn't the closest ocean, but that's what happens when you live in San Francisco and there's a lot of traffic.

This gnarled tree ended up making for a lovely subject - I took pictures of him from several angles as we watched the sun set together.

That means No HDRs, No blending, No fancy processing...just point and shoot. We did use our brand new Induro Tripod for this shot. Often times we will hang weight at the bottom to keep the tripod steady over long shutter speed. Here is an article on Induro Blog that gives the details.

Spring Greens, Cuyahoga National Park, OH

BEST VIEWED LARGE

Every so often between soccer games, marshal arts classes, running schedule, blog posts, ebooks, travel schedule we will get a chance to shoot local area. This was the case couple of years ago when I took this photograph. It was one of the best spring seasons and the light was just perfect. 

How was this image created?
This photo used principles of hyper focal distance to get as close to the flowers as possible. I composed the shot so that the lower 2/3rd of the frame was filled with flowers. We specifically selected the day after it had rained to visit this location and used our circular polarizer to get deep rich colors. Even with an overcast days the image required targeted adjustment to ensure proper exposure throughout the image.

Today was a perfect example of how the How We See It books can have an affect on someone.  I was a a Family ArtsFest today at a local school, and two of the students were selling a self-published book that they co-wrote with the mother about a mermaid and a pearl necklace and how the necklace did not make her beautiful, as she was already beautiful herself.  I bought the book not knowing the story, but wanted to help these two beautiful young ladies raising money for the school.  After I took it home I was touched by the story and how much it had in common with the messages the Ladies and I try to convey in the How We See It books (HWSI), as does our charity the NOW Love Your Body Foundation.  Because I had to go back to the school before the end of the event to pick up my son who was volunteering there, I decided to take with me a spare copy of the Second How We See It book, and give it to theseinc... more »

The Coming Storm, Rocky Mountain National Park, CO

BEST VIEWED LARGE

I love storm light and on our first trip to Rocky Mountain National Park we got our share of the storms. On this particular occasion  we hiked up to the the falls and we could see the storm forming just few miles away. By the time we got down to our car the storm was almost upon us. 

How was this image created?
You must have guessed it as this image required manual blending due to extreme nature of the light. The clouds were light up directly by the sunlight while the storm clouds and foreground was completely in shade. I used our iHDR manual Blending workflow to keep the image looking natural and used the river as the leading line.

Sol Duc Falls, Olympic National Park, WA
#PhotographyWorkflow , #howtophotograph

This is a magnificent and popular location in Olympic National Park that I have visited many times. There are trails that lead from this place to Deer Lake and the Seven lake region that are breathtaking and worth a visit.

How was this image created?
This image was challenge to compose. I did not have a wide enough lens with me to capture everything I wanted so I had to do the best I could with the lens the available lens. This was taken on an overcast day just after it had rained. I used a circular polarizer to bring out the details in every part of the image.

Cutting Through the Mist, Yosemite National Park, CA

BEST VIEWED LARGE

Yosemite National Park in US is one of the oldest and most visited places National Parks in the country. Easy access to the Yosemite Valley attracts over 90% of the visitor, but only a small percentage of the visitors gets to see sites like these. This is a view taken from top of Nevada Falls looking straight down.

How was this Photograph created?
I took this photo with my old Canon 10D. To get this shot, I had to backpack my way up to the top of the Nevada Falls and look down just before the sun went over the horizon. The last rays of the sun came streaming through the mist trees and were traced by the mist. My biggest challenge was to deal with the glare from the sun coming off the foam in the river.

Adobe Creative Clouds or NOTHING?

...And an opportunity for competition

What are you thoughts? - Here is what I think:

I love Photoshop/Acrobat/Indesign....No software comes close to it. But giving small consumer and photographer NO CHOICE but to subscribe is a really DUMB move.

Personally I think there are many benefits of creative clouds for corporation but does not make sense for a small business owners. While Terry White may have busted 5 Myth's about creative clouds, he fails to address one simple reality: A forced payment plan for Adobe Products.

Let’s face it as a photographer, I don't upgrade my camera when Canon or  Nikon comes out with the latest stuff....I only do it when it make sense. So, why should it be different for photography software? A better move would be to give consumers some choice between the two products.... more »

Aspens in Bloom, Grand Tetons National Park, WY

BEST VIEWED LARGE - Where do you think the sun was when I took this shot?

Here is an image from Grand Tetons from few years ago. I love going there in Fall, but I have visited and backpacked in this park in summer and the scenery is stunning. This is also one of the best places to view wildlife....especially the tourist kind. ;))

How was this image created?
This is simple photograph taken with a circular polarizer. I choose a low POW because I wanted the mid ground to compress so the use would focus his attention on the blue and gold (complementary colors). I waited for the sunlight to help bring out the colors before taking this shot. Even with even light this image did requires some targeted adjustment in photoshop.

Swimming Pool, Havasu Falls, AZ

BEST VIEWED LARGE

This place is truly a paradise on this planet...and it takes 10 miles of hiking (with a backpack) to get to it. It rained and snowed while we were there, but I paid no attention to the weather. I crossed the river few times went, fell in and got wet and very cold and lived without coffee for 3 straight days. And next year we did it all over again. ;))

How was this image created?
Simple...just point the camera and shoot. The lighting was very even and I used a circular polarizer to get brilliant colors in the water. In post processing I had to ensure that I could see the details in every part of the image. What was the hardest part? To keep the water off my lens. ;))

All winter long I've been waiting to take this photo, but conditions were never right. Finally, last night conditions were perfect to take this shot of Longs Peak from the Dream Lake trail. The unusual colors come from the light pollution of the Denver area. While I generally hate light pollution, this time I kind of like the feel it creates. What do you think?

A few days ago I posted an image I made at Tunnel View on a Sunday morning.  About 30 minutes after making that image, I drove down to the meadows under El Capitan to capture a different perspective of the same scene.  I love working with El Capitan from this location.  If you go farther back, the trees become a much smaller part of the frame aren't as interesting.  Its almost impossible to get much closer because then you are too close to El Capitan.  This is a ideal spot to use lenses (or cameras) with perspective correction like TS-E/PC-E lenses or rise & fall with a technical camera.  Even with the relatively wide angle of view of the 32mm HR lens and nearly 10mm of shift, I still had to tilt the camera up to get enough sky and all of El Capitan.  I then corrected more of the perspective distortion using the excellent tools in Capture One Pro for this final version.

Glacier National Park, Montana

BEST VIEWED LARGE

This smallish waterfalls required us to climb down a steep drop and then flatten my body on the slick wet rock to take this shot. Why? To get the proper composition and to prevent myself from sliding over the edge of a larger waterfall located just behind me. Needless to say that I was very wet and dirty after taking this shot....like a good landscape photographer should be. ;)

How was this photo created?
This small falls was located just below the bridge. So, to get this composition I needed to avoid the bridge and position my camera so you can see the source of the water coming through the small hole. I used a circular polarizer to get bring out the rich colors in the wet rocks surrounding the falls.

Morning @ Banff

BEST VIEWED LARGE

We will often wander around the local area long after the sun has come up to scout the area. This photo was created on one such wanderings in Banff National Park in Canada. The summer was in full swing and the sky was very blue on the clear day. 

How was this photo created?
This photo was about composition. I choose the focal length and positions my camera to place the reflection of the mountain in the just right location in the pond. Additionally, I used a GND filter to balance the the light between the sky and the foreground.

For lava photography, the time around sunrise and sunset, extending to twilight is by far the best for photography.  During that time, brightness differences between lava and land or sea are small enough that both can be properly exposed in a single exposure: there is enough ambient light that you can see details in the landscape, but it is dark enough for the lava to glow. For photographing the cascades of lava pouring into the ocean, such as this image, you will want a telephoto lens, since you won’t be able to get  close.
