Hiked in Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in southern Utah yesterday, at an area called Coyote Buttes. A real wonderland, a maze of slickrock gulches and hoodoos made of sandstones that record a vast region of enormous sand dunes in the age of dinosaurs. This is one of my more unusual shots at the famous locality called “the wave”.
My past careers as science teacher and geologist mean that I can't help but teach about the natural history of photogenic places around the world. But photography is not forgotten. You'll also see practical tips about where and how to photograph the destinations. And once a week, Friday Foto Talk gives photography tips and how-to on a selected topic, for novices on up to expert.
What you won't find here is endless discussion about me braving dangerous weather, terrain or wild animals to get the shot. Nor will there be cheerleading gear talk or marketing pitches. I promise to leave that to other blogs, of which there are many.
Please don't be shy; your words are what makes my day!
