After my winter hibernation spent watching photography tutorials, I was excited when my girlfriend had a business trip to Seattle so I could tag along to explore.
Since getting into photography nearly eight years ago, I’ve been learning, training, and teaching myself the art whenever I could, but sometime last year, I realized I had kind of stopped pushing myself.
This year was definitely a busy one with almost 12,000 road-trip miles driven and probably about 200+ miles hiked… This was definitely hard to narrow down this year, but here are my favorite shots from 2017.
Between Conde Naste, Travel & Leisure, Trip Advisor and pretty much any other travel or luxury publication out there, not only is the Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora constantly proclaimed to be one of the best resorts in the world, but Bora Bora is praised as one of the most beautiful islands in the world.
I had read that once you see Bora Bora, you are forever enamored; The inevitable love affair beginning before your plane even touches down with travelers becoming captivated by the fantasy-like tropical paradise.
In mid-October, I went back to spend three days exploring the park – Each day I hiked 8-10 miles, drove 20-30 miles of jeep trails, and made sure to shoot sunrise and sunset on each end. I got a ton of pictures, but not much to write… so here’s 16 pictures of beautiful Capitol Reef National Park.
Most waterfalls are beautiful and therefore, they are an irresistible subject for photographers. At first, they can be challenging to capture, but the good news is that great results are actually fairly easy to achieve when keeping some guidelines and tips in mind.
Capitol Reef National Park offers more geological variety than any other park on the Colorado Plateau, which itself is one of the most unique natural landscape areas in America.
