So refreshing to have found someone who appreciates the art of landscape photography without all the extra BS that so much of it is filled with. No over editing, no mist filters, no preset packs and luts. Just good photography.
I love your videos here. I just got back last night from 10 days in those hills. I’m still decompressing/adjusting to the “reentry”, so I really appreciate watching this.
Beautiful location Todd. Utah is so beautiful any time of year. Thanks for picking up the trash. NATURE FIRST!! I've been in that position before and without means to pick up. Now I keep a small grocery style bag in my camera pack. It can always double as a rain cover if necessary. Thanks for the video!!
Nice seeing the Henry Mountains as a backdrop of sorts. Really enjoyed listening to your thought process as you figured out what and how to photograph a scene.
Beautiful pastel colours in your images. At least the glass was not plastic as glass eventually becomes sand again overtime. Loved the reflections on your vehicle in the video beginning and surprised you did not photograph it. Thanks for sharing.
HiTodd I enjoyed the commentary and just returned late last night from a 4 day photography trip out of Kanab Utah with 3 other photographers, (one an esteemed film maker). Long days to multiple locations and waking up in a tent well before first light and hiking back to camp in the dark. We came home with a few exceptional “ keepers”. You had a few ideas I had never considered and will add to my quiver of artistic ideas . Thank you!
I might have made an environmental composition with that trash verse the beautiful landscape. And then cleaned it up. Thanks for rectifying what should have never been there.
Beautiful photographs, beautiful light. As a Utah photographer I thank you for helping the environment. BLM allows shooting, but has no rules, as far as I know about cleaning up after yourself. This is a real problem with a whole host of environmental impacts in these sensitive areas. My husband and I always bring trash bags with us, and we do what we can to clean up. I was taught to always leave a place better than I found it. I really enjoy your Utah videos.
When you recorded your Square Space add in the back ground was the Purple Mountain (name on google maps). Have you hiked in over the the mounds onto the BLM land behind (west of) the Purple Mountain? When using onXoffroad there appears to be a lot more Bentonite. I have been up Cow Dung Road to the intersection of Blue Valley Road and was attempting to get out to Blue Valley 3. But I am not sure if you are allowed out there in motorized vehicles. If you go right (north) on Blue Valley 3 off of Blue Valley I think there is a string of Bentonite out there but was unable to confirm this as I did not want to risk getting my van stuck out there as I had no other vehicles with me. The road was getting very hilly while headed out that way on Blue Valley Road. I am always looking for Bentonite hill to photograph.
Truly spectacular! Your exploration makes me think of Edward Abbey, just with a camera. Do you own the van or rent it? The roads in this area, would they be passable with a RWD van? Been enjoying your videos and style - keep up the amazing work!
Amazing video as always Todd. Wondering if you were using the GFX100SII to record yourself right next to the van in the beginning. What a beautiful shot! Thank you!

Thank you for cleaning up the broken glass. If we all just carried a small bag in our pocket we could start to make a difference.

That was wonderful. I love the soft, subtle tonality in your work

Thanks for the video!!
Great idea - I should do the same. I had to hike back to my car to get one.
@@dominey Great way to use those Publix bags. lol
You’re a good man picking up that trash! Thank you.
13:38 , beautiful comps! I love the rocks, texture and light!
So good on so many levels that fortunately I don’t have to explain because you and everyone who watches understands. Thank you very much ✌️
Great images Todd. Love the soft cool morning light. Such a great compliment to the desert backdrop.
You and Simon D'entremont are probably the best content creators when it comes to photography
Stunning images of a beautiful and serene landscape.
Nice seeing the Henry Mountains as a backdrop of sorts. Really enjoyed listening to your thought process as you figured out what and how to photograph a scene.
I imagined those foreground rocks as a diplodocus spine 😂 Interesting stuff and lovely pictures 👏
Great video from the desert 👍🙂

I really loved that too!!! Great way to open the video.
Lovely images and beautiful light. Must have been a wonderful experience capturing them 👏🏻
I spent two days on that road. What an amazing experience. My drone shots came out nicely also, especially around sunset.

Watching your videos makes me realize that I’ve walked by so many potential images just thinking they were a pile of rocks.
What a location, great tips also👍

I agree about not leaving trash. Does glass get overlooked since it's essentially made from sand and eventually dissolves back into sand?

Starting the video with straight up advertisement...
...yeah, no.
That last photo... *chef's kiss* - I really need to get to Utah sometime!
