Q2W1 - Landscape Photographers

Guy Tal 
He is a full-time photographer, writer, and naturalist living and working in the Colorado Plateau.
His goal is to promote and to share the beauty of the wild, and advocate for its preservation. 
He strongly believes that photography is the most restrictive of the visual arts.

His usual location seems Utah. My favorite 10 pictures of Guy Tal's were almost from Utah.
I think he used very different view points on the pictures (like #11 from Landscape assignment).


1. Waiting for rain
Utah, US / January 2006

Parched and cracked desert near Utah's Great Salt Lake eagerly awaits the promise of showers carried by incoming storm clouds.


2. Cottonwood in Slickrock Bowl

Utah, US / November 2004

Water and sandstone make for some of the most amazing natural sculptures you will ever see. Throw in a beautiful tree in its glowing autumn prime, and just being there to withness it all becomes a spiritual experience.

3. Gentle Evening

California, US / December 2009


4. Tracking the Lion

Utah, US / October 2002

These tracks were left by a mountain lion in the fresh snow. This has been a memorable day. I originally set out to photograph a fall sunrise in the Southern region of the Wasatch mountains. Finding these tracks, following them, and finally observing the big cat in the wild, made for an experience I will not soon forget. The complete story was published in Nature Photographers Online Magazine, and can be found in the Articles section.


5. Aspen Sapling in Water

Utah, US / July 2011

After a good rainy season, this aspen sapling sprouted at the edge of an alpine lake. In time, the water will recede back to its normal levels.


6. Undulating Pastels

Utah, US/ August 2009


7. Lakeside Gneiss

Utah, US / June 2005

Gneiss boulders along the shores of the Great Salt Lake.


8. Grand Dawn

Arizona, US / February 2009

A new day dawns over the Grand Canyon.



9. Land in the sky

Utah, US / April 2004


10. Barren Winter

Oregon, US / January 2010

Lone tree in snow-covered field.
