Local Reflections by Gareth Goldthorpe

I signed up for a photography trip to Greenland for September 2017 with Arctic Exposure, an Icelandic Tour company. I had been to Iceland in July 2016 with Skarpi, the tour leader, and loved photographing the icebergs in the Iceberg Lagoon there. This trip would be more rugged. We flew

In Search of Waterfalls by Curtis Heikkinen

I dare say most landscape photographers enjoy taking pictures of waterfalls. They certainly can be spectacular subjects for photography, especially the large ones.
