Uluru is a remarkable place, and understanding even a small part of its cultural significance, local rules, and photographic regulations can make a visit both more meaningful and far more rewarding.

It’s All Connected – Shiprock : A Lava Neck on the Navajo Volcanic Field
Exploring the incredible rock formation that is “Shiprock” from above, below and on top of the southwestern states’ “Four Forners” region and the wider Navajo Volcanic Field.
Inside Antelope Canyon – Paul’s Complete Photography Guide
It’s a location that features on the bucket list of many photographers, and it’s a magnetic one at that. Having already visited both Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon 6 or 7 times since my first visit in 2011, I still have the urge to return every now and then to capture the other-worldly scenes of light-trails, stunning rock formations and shadows throughout these two natural wonders just outside of Page, Arizona.

A Tale of Two Sunsets : Pulpit Rock in Black and White

Durdle Door Sunrise – The Golden Arches

So, with a rather frustrating start to a well-needed break in Sharm-El-Sheikh (without going into detail, I wouldn’t recommend the place, ever!) we took the opportunity for something a little different by getting int he back of a 4×4 and heading […]
