Arches like I had never seen it

  • Less than ideal weather and some upcoming major changes in our lives led me to cut my road trip short and head back home, in the Midwest. However, the gods of photography had a very different idea in mind for me. A series of circumstances led me to Moab, Utah, where I found the best conditions (and images) of the whole trip so far.

    I’ve been to Moab several times. It is a magical place. I would’ve given a kidney to be there with you during those conditions. Those are some amazing photos. I will pre-order your next book right now if those are going to be in it.

    • @aows
      @aows  3 місяці тому

      Nooo, keep your kidney! :D But yes, the conditions were incredible. I'm not sure how often you can get fog there, but it was a first for me after multiple times in the park. So I loved it. Those images will not be in the next book, as I already have enough material... but in the next one :D

    Your latest video is simply brilliant! Your mastery in producing both videos and photographs is truly inspiring. The way you craft your videos into complete stories, with a clear beginning, middle, and end, is remarkable. Despite the effort behind the scenes, you make it all appear effortless. Just know that for those of us eagerly awaiting your next creation, your dedication is deeply appreciated. Never lose sight of your talent and passion.

    Many of your images on your channel trigger an ache with the thought, "Man, I wish I had been there to see and capture that." Your videos and your vision go deep.
    Also, the only thing more magical than Arches in the fog is Arches after a light dusting of snow to accent all the texture. In color, I love Arches after a rain has washed the dust off of everything.

    Hello. For rest while you are camping, you should get some quality earplugs and a white or pink noise generator. I used to live next door to san diego airport, with flights taking off every 20 minutes all day and all night. the earplugs and noise generator allowed me to sleep.

    Your photos are incredible and inspiring. I truly love the black & white images. Some super-soaker moments in Moab, though.
    As for the I-84 closure and holdover in Baker City, why didn't you drop south on OR-7 and then east on US 26 to rejoin I-84 in Ontario? At least you could pass through Sumpter and check out the big dredge.
    Good video and thank you for sharing.

    • @aows
      @aows  3 місяці тому

      Thank you so much, glad you liked it! Yes, that route was an option, I actually took OR-7 for a while but decided against it. It added quite a bit of time to my day. I didn't know that road very well, it looks like it goes through some mountains, and it was snowing. And finally, a lot of semi-trucks were taking that route to avoid the closure as well. I was just afraid of getting stuck somewhere remote with temperatures in the low 20s, so I called it a day and got some rest in a hotel after a few weeks sleeping in the car :)

    Why not carry a small light umbrella next time. I see many other experienced landscape photographers do it. It can also protect you, your lense and camera in a downpour. or you can still take a picture in the rain with a well made light and sturdy umbrella. I see Joe Cornish use one. The famous british landscape photographer.

    • @aows
      @aows  3 місяці тому

      Yes, of course, an umbrella could very useful. I usually just wear a raincoat, and that does the job just fine. This time, I didn't even have my raincoat on because it was not supposed to rain at all. It wasn't in the forecast, and even though it looked dark, I thought I was safe. I wasn't too far from the car either, so I went for it. Big mistake haha.
