Algerian Arch Angels IV by MarselvanOosten

Last month I was Highly Commended in the Travel Photographer Of The Year Awards for a series of images that I shot in Algeria.

This is the fourth image from that series. The first image is here, as well as some background info.

The Sahara is constantly changing – the sand goes where the wind goes. As a result, the dunes are always on the move. In some areas entire rock formations have been swallowed by the sand, in others you can still witness this happening – like in this shot. The guy on top of the arch is one of our crew.

Cannon Sunrise by BrandtM

I’m not a morning person, in fact, I can easily stay up until 2:30am and sleep well into the next morning. As a landscape chaser this works very well for those late summer sunsets and night shots, but not so well for the morning. On this day, I woke up in the hotel before sunrise, looked out the window, kind of foggy, couldn’t see many clouds about, so that old 80’s tune “Should I Stay Or Should I Go” came to mind. In the end, as I usually do, I powered through the pain and got my butt out there. As the sun neared the horizon that beautiful pre sunrise glow started to appear then for about five minutes it looked this, then as quickly as it appeared it was gone, and of course I forgot about that warm bed and missed sleep. Nothing compares to the privilege of witnessing another glorious show.

Best viewed on black, thank you for looking.

Hidden Falls by CHoiberg

Check out my latest tutorial on ND filters!

It actually surprise me that so few people know about Glijufrabui waterfalls. It is located just 500 meters from the very popular Seljalandfoss, but I guess most people are to lazy to walk that far!
To get this shot I was standing in the rushing river with my waders, constantly wiping my lens to avoid wet spots all over the image. Even with a 0.6 second shutter, I got many of them! It was one soaked camera and one soaked photographer walking back out of the cave. Possibly the most challenging image I’ve ever taken! Like others have done before me, I had to take a selfie on the rock, but I wanted to get a different approach then most people, something I feel I managed to do.

Also I must say, at places like this, you realise how small you are.. 🙂

Dead Horse Point Sunset by SeanCamp

From the prominence of Dead Horse Point, 2,000 feet above a gooseneck in the Colorado River, an ever changing landscape unfurls. Immense vertical cliffs meet with canyons carved by ice, water and wind creating a visual masterpiece. Plants and animals surviving on the edge of existence face many challenges of extreme conditions within this high desert environment. Stories of ancient hunters, resting along the cliff tops while knapping chert in preparation for the next hunt, and cowboys of the late 1800’s, chasing wild mustangs onto Dead Horse Point, using the narrow neck to block off the natural corral . What story will you discover on your visit to Dead Horse Point State Park?
