If you noticed the Photo Of The Day posts having a slight drop, as well at the 31+ Days Of Photography Experiments, it’s been due to travel, in a good way.
Last week I visited Arches and Canyonlands National Park with fellow photographer Michael Riffle and his wife and that had me concentrating on shooting, scouting and napping (shooting star trails at night and sunrise the next morning takes a toll!).
Now this week, I’ll be heading to the Big Island of Hawaii on Friday for 6 days of a press trip concentrating on Eat, Play, Love. Emphasis on ‘Play’ as well as ‘Love’ as my girlfriend will be with me. Snorkeling, SCUBA diving with manta rays, visiting Volcanoes National Park (third National Park in two weeks!), visiting the summit of Mauna Kea, star gazing, stand-up paddle boarding, Kona Coffee Cultural Festival and a helicopter tour of the island. I’m quite stoked.
All this means writing takes a back seat and for that I’m sorry. Press trips, while fun, are usually non-stop and Utah was gorgeous activity as well. November and December will see me plopped down in front of my home computer, editing photos and writing up a storm, including finishing off 31+ Days Of Photography Experiments.
Here, as a consolation, enjoy some more pictures from Utah.
Hi Peter,
As usual very nice pics, the milky way and the sunrise (pic#4) are my favorites from the lot.
The helicopter tour sounds great, I am looking forward to seeing your photos (I am pretty sure you will be carying you camera around right?) and maybe to a coming post on tips and tricks on photographing from an helicopter, I don’t plan on having such a tour soon but if there’s a chance a post from you on the topic will certainly come handy.
once again thanks
Carlos
Carlos,
As luck would have it, I have already written such a post! http://digital-photography-school.com/7-tips-on-shooting-from-a-helicopter. I might add to it after this trip as it is more of a sightseeing helicopter as compared to the helicopter in that post.

Hi Peter,
The pictures look amazing. And I am still waiting for your articles on Photographing the stars
