I consider myself more of a portrait photographer, but I will never pass up some good landscapes. Last weekend I went on a four day ATV trip on the Paiute ATV trail system. We camped at Big John’s Flat and rode hard for four days. It is absolutely beautiful up there. I am particularly fond of the landscape once you get above the tree line, about 11,000 feet. This is mountain goat country.
The wildflowers were amazing. They were in bloom everywhere. We spent a whole morning photographing wildflowers. Okay, it was more than just a whole morning. It was a blast. I found 31 distinct types of wildflowers. The wildflower shoot was actually a competition between my dad and I. The objective was to see who get get photographs of the most wildflowers of different types. He won, with 35.
The entire trip was a lot of fun. Lots of beautiful landscape. The last day we visited a 60 foot waterfall. We weren’t sure what the shooting conditions would be like when we got there, but lucky for us, the entire waterfall was in the shade… perfect.
And last of all, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to do some portraits while we were in such a beautiful location. I had my boys with me the first day and they always make good subjects:)
