Digging through some old files from my trip to Antelope Canyon last August, and came across this. If you haven’t visited these Canyons before, the crowds are insane, and while a designated photo tour gets you an element of crowd control, looking up is another way to get some amazing shapes and textures without people. This particular shot was taken in between the “official” shoots and really struck me for its swirling/textured sandstone and monochrome colour. Antelope Canyon, AZ
A quick roadside stop in between sunrise and my first hike, I threw the car into the parking lot of Latourell Falls and quickly ran up to the viewpoint to capture this image. Some of the best images are the ones that aren't planned and you need to seize the opportunity and react quickly to get the shots you want. This was one of those cases where minimal effort (and a little luck) paid off! Columbia River Gorge, OR
