Landscapes

Mulafossur, Gasadalur, Faroe Islands

Undoubtedly a Favourite I've visited the Faroe Islands on three occassions and I've always left vowing to return. I figure it'll only take a few more trips until I master the pronunciation of its many landmarks like Sorvagsvatn, Slaettaratinder and Villingardalsfjall. At least Mulafossur seems as easy to pronounce as it is to find on the drive into Gasadalur.

Dragonir, Faroe Islands

Faroe Islands Favourites I know I am repeating myself, but the Faroe Islands are my absolute favourite place to photograph. For the past three years, I've led a @f8workshops tour with @thefella and @zobolondon. And we're all looking forward to going back for our forth workshop.

Sligachan, Isle of Skye, Scotland

Isle of [Sunny] Skye! @visitscotland @scotlandisnow #ad #scotlandisnow Our weeklong photography workshops enjoyed shocking weather on Skye. It was literally sunny and warm the entire week! We loved our stay at the @sligachan_hotel, as its surrounded by stunning photography locations beginning with these falls located just five minutes walk from the front door. #f8workshops #f8scotland @f8workshops

Glencoe, Scotland

Just a wee house in Glencoe. @visitscotland @scotlandisnow #ad #scotlandisnow For the past few days, I've been exploring Scotland, from Glencoe to Skye. It's lived up to every expectation, with dramatic scenery, you-wouldn't-believe-me-if-I-told-you weather and tasty whiskys that nearly outnumbering the photography opportunities. It's all part of our first-ever @f8workshops Scotland workshop and I know it'll become an annual event!

Three Sisters, Canmore, Alberta, Canada

Backyard Light It's become something of a tradition. Each time I purchase new photography gear, I trial it at this location. It might look like pure wilderness, but it's only about 10 minutes from my house. Yesterday morning, the overcast skies didnt look promising, but sunrise light broke through the clouds just long enough to land a few shots.

Torshavn, Faroe Islands

he windy man, the long mover. Just minutes from our hotel and such a classic scene. @visitfaroeislands #visitfaroeislands #f8workshops It's hard to believe, but the best light I've had in the Faroe Islands has been found either picking people up or dropping people off at the airport. At the end of our workshop, I drove four people to the airport at 6:30AM and raced back to shoot this scene before the rain arrived.

Mt Rundle, Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada

Even if you've never visited Banff National Park, you'll still recognize its many iconic landscapes. It's an adventure photographers paradise. Vermilion Lakes and Mt Rundle is an easy shot. It's located just off the roadside, but many of the best views in the park aren't quite as easy to find.

Ha Ling, Canmore, Alberta, Canada

In 2011, I moved to the Canadian Rockies and immediately felt at home. Over the past few years, my life has evolved in ways I never expected. I've even moved south, some 300 km from Jasper to Canmore. Still, these mountains have remained as the key landmark in what I call home. This year, I scrambled more summits, skied deep backcountry snow, and explored new bike trails. No matter where I travel, I always look forward to returning home.

Colca Canyon, Peru

Erupting Volcanoes + Andes Sunsets It's great revisiting this memory and seeing this image printed in the @tinyatlasquarterly book that's just launched. The story behind this is based on fortunate timing. Our photography workshop group had just arrived at our guest house near the Colca Canyon, so @brendanvanson and I improvised a sunset shoot nearby. We knew we would have some great foreground wheat fields and a pretty epic volcano in the distance, but we didn't expect any colour in the cloudless sky. Luckily, the volcano erupted - as it does with some frequency - and caught the last rays of light before blue hour arrived. #mytinyatlas

Spirit Island, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

Alpe de Siusi, Italy

After longing to explore Europe's mountains for years, I finally had the opportunity during an 8-week trip across Slovenia, Croatia, Italy, and Austria. The highlight, undoubtedly, was exploring Italy's Dolomites. I arrived in Venice, rented a car and drove to the mountains. Early the next morning, I woke up for sunrise and set out into an unknown landscape. I couldn't have planned it better. I'd chosen this composition and simply waited for the sun. It was good luck, not good planning, that it hit the gap between these two peaks.

Pyramid Island, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

With the ever-changing Covid-19 situation, I know I won't be out shooting too much in the coming weeks. Rather than posting irregularly, I'll be looking through my archive for my favourite images shot over the past five years. I hope these images will inspire us to stay positive and look forward to future adventures! This image of Pyramid Lake, in Jasper National Park, was shot during the first big snowfall in November 2015. The lake would freeze later that day, but during the morning bluehour the snow, light and reflection combined for what instantly became a favourite. It's been in my landscape portfolio ever sense.

Val Di Funes, Italy

Tre Cime, Italy

Easily one of the Alps' most iconic landscapes, Tre Cime is a stunning granite peak in the Italian Dolomites.

Two Jack Lake, Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada

Volcanic Iceland

One Icelandic autumn, I climbed a volcanic crater and looked off into the distance. The scene has stuck with me ever since. It's surreal. Captured with @sandiskeurope #capturemore

Bow Lake, Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada

Winter Warning Signs! Forget Autumn and its stunning colours. This is the most magical time to photograph the Canadian Rockies. Early snow looks pristine, the lakes are still open with vibrant hues of blue or green, and the foreground are forever changing.

Autumn in Iceland

One Icelandic autumn, I climbed a volcanic crater and looked off into the distance at a small lake surrounded by stunning autumn colours. Captured with @sandiskeurope #capturemore After descending the crater, I set out in search of the lake. After exploring a few backroads, I eventually found it. A short walk later, I captured this scene.

Crowfoot Glacier, Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada

Lac Blanc, Chamonix, France

When I put together my 10 Adventures You Should Take post on @stellerstories, I drew from my own experiences. My list included hking the Tour de Mont Blanc, ski touring Rogers Pass and cycling the Carretera Austral, among others. But I would truly love to hear your ideas, so help us build our post-pandemic bucket lists. What adventures would you absolutely recommend to anyone?
