Top 20 Travel Photos – 2017

By Brad Rempel02 January, 2018Educational, Landscape

2017 was an amazing travel year for me. I was able to travel to Canada, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Norway and Arizona. My wife had encouraged me to take a photo trip with a friend of mine (Brace Hemmelgarn) for a year or two so we both decided to take the leap and go traveling together. We’re both sports photographers but we appreciate great landscapes and seem to like similar destinations. We get along, and we get a chance to shoot along side each other a lot, so it made sense. My 2017 trips were:

Lofoten Islands, Norway – February (with Brace)
Arizona – April (family trip)
Manitoba – August (family trip)
Iceland & the Faroe Islands – November (with Brace)

The photo trips are a lot of planning. Deciding where to go for the day, where to take sunrises, daytime exploring, sunsets, and northern lights. Go home edit, post, repeat. At the end of the trips we both enjoy putting the cameras down and exploring the city and culture for a couple days. We spent a couple of days in both Oslo and Reykjavik at the end of each photo trip, walking through downtown, eating, and exploring.

I doubt my 2018 travel destinations will top this so I hope you enjoy the photos (click to see full size). All images are for sale at: photoreflect.com

Antelope Canyon Pics

By Brad Rempel24 May, 2017Educational, Landscape

A gallery of images from my trip to Northern Arizona where I visited Upper Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend. These are bucket list images for a lot of photographers and when I knew we were planning a spring break trip to Phoenix and Sedona, I had to travel a couple hours north and photograph these amazing landmarks. The images look peaceful, isolated, and almost in a place where people rarely set foot in, but the reality is quite the opposite. There’s a video in another one of my blogs of what it’s really like photographing these landmarks and the crowds of people that are there. Regardless, I felt I was able to capture some pretty amazing images.

Antelope Canyon

By Brad Rempel04 April, 2017Educational

Here’s a behind the scenes video of what it was like photographing one of Arizona’s famous landmarks, Upper Antelope Canyon. I did expect the crowds of people and paying extra for the “photo tour” was worth the money. While paying the extra money was great, you have to realize there were also five other tour companies there at the same time. In my opinion, this video ruins the images I took. The images look peaceful, isolated, and almost in a place where people rarely set foot in, but the reality is quite the opposite. There are only a handful of images at the end of the video but I captured quite a bit more. They can be found on my website: PhotoReflect under Arizona.
