Easily one of my favorite places in Australia, Karijini National Park is a photographers playground. Nestled in the heart of the Outback, this massive gorge system is amazing, providing days if not weeks of places to explore and photograph. Have you ever been to the Australian Outback? Any favorite spots?

The Icelandic Puffin has to be one of the most adorable birds on the planet. Not only are they pretty small in size, but the color faces and general mannerisms make them a blast to photograph. This image was taken on Grimsey Island in the Northern part of Iceland. What is your favorite bird to photograph?

Zion National Park is on of my favorite areas to explore in Early September because of the fall colors found throughout the park. Something about the mixture of the US Southwest with yellow and orange foliage make for some pretty impressive images. What is your favorite fall color destination that is a little out of the norm?

The slot canyons of the Southwest of the US are nothing short of spectacular. While places like Antelope Canyon (found in this shot), are generally incredibly busy, they are still impressive. Just because a location has been photographed before, don't let that detour you from visiting and having your own experience! What other iconic locations would you recommend other photographers still visit no matter how popular they might be?

Tomorrow my second Patagonian Photo Workshop of the season cross the border into Chile from Argentina after 5 days of exploring Los Glacieres National Park. We head to one of the most amazing and impressive mountain ranges in the world. The views from Lago Pehoe are breathtaking to say the least. This is taken right outside the hotel that I often have to book 2 years in advance for my workshops. Is Patagonia on your bucket list? Who wants to join next year's Adventure down here? :)

When it comes to wildlife photography, what is one of the most important elements of an image? The eyes! Today marks the launch of Sony's new 3.0 firmware update for the a7R III & a7 III. With it comes the world's first Eye Auto Focus for Wildlife. No other camera manufacturer on the planet has technology that comes close to this. No wonder photography legends like @natgeo 's @paulnicklen are moving to Sony! I can't wait to use mine while I am down here in Patagonia for the next two weeks. Pumas, I am looking at YOU! If you had one of these new Sony cameras with this new Wildlife Eye AF, where would you go and what animals would you photograph?

The dead trees of Bottany Bay in South Carolina are simply amazing to photograph, especially at sunrise. While this are has been hit with multiple hurricanes and has undoubtedly changed over the years, it is still very much worth a visit! Have you ever been to South Carolina? Any favorite spots?

Easily one of my favorite mountains in South America, Cerro Torre's spires stand tall above much of the rest of this Southern Patagonian region in Argentina. At sunrise in fall, the peaks light up with a mix of reds, oranges and magentas that can be spectacular with the right conditions. I am currently here in El Chalten with my second workshop group of the season, which already has me excited about my 2020 Adventures down here that will be opening to the public soon What is your favorite mountain peaks in South America? Swipe right to see the entire image :)

All too often, landscape photographers seem to fixate and focus purely on sunrise and sunset, almost completely ignoring other times of the day. With the right conditions, many scenes can look great with the right kind of light. This is a photo of the famous church in Vic, Iceland in the middle of the afternoon. The clouds not only helped defuse some afternoon light, but added some much needed texture to the sky in the process. Do you tend to only shoot during the "golden hours" of the day?
