Exploring The Backroads of Iowa | Loess Hills | My Journey to Landscape Photography

- Last week I was back in Nebraska for work. Instead of staying local I crossed the Missouri river to explore western Iowa. I actually came away with a few photos I was quite happy with and got to play around in Photoshop the Orton effect. I hope you enjoy the video, this one was fun to make.
Welcome! On this channel I am documenting my Journey to Landscape Photography. I have for years been a food photographer solely but am looking to grow as a photographer by learning landscape photography the way I learned food photography, trial and error. The difference now is I have many more resources to learn landscape photography than I ever had to learn food photography. I live in Colorado so I have a phenomenal home base from which to learn and explore.
I am not expecting to make a career as a landscape photographer, I am only looking to learn and grow my skill as a whole in photography. It is by far my most obsessive passion, it's what makes me pull up my socks in the morning.

Hi Chris - I enjoyed the trip around that part of Iowa with some great aerial footage and the time lapse. That lone tree along the road side through the crop fields typifies my imagination of American agricultural land. Very interesting to hear how the hills were formed from dust too ! Great artistry imagery and music 🎵👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Andrew... That was my first time in Iowa, honestly didn't know what to expect but I'm looking forward to going bach there some time.
Most people who say that "the Midwest is boring and flat" have never been there... It is spectacular and beautiful.
I will admit, I was one of those people...I started that road trip wanting to photograph the covered bridges in Iowa (Bridges of Madison County inspired) and came across the Loess Hills, It was such a beautiful area, I changed my whole trip, really glad I got to experience it.
So much woody encroachment, what a marvel it must have been to see these hills without all the invasive trees that have taken over.
Thanks for watching, I had a lot of fun making this video.
great stuff and loved the Broll chris, new sub.
Thanks! Just checked out your last video, such a beautiful sunrise. Looking forward to watching more as a sub!
Nice
Thanks for watching!
Great Video, Hi Chris, I hope you are well, I've just been looking through my subscriber list to see if i had missed and Videos, you produce Great Videos, but not for a while. I hope you have a new Video soon, Can't wait! Thanks Tony
Hey Tony, yeah, it's been a while...as I came back from my trip to Oregon i started a new job in April and it has been 80 hour weeks all summer long. The few times when I had a few hours off to go shoot, smoke from wildfires out west was snuffing out any sky or light so haven't had much opportunity. The huge project I have been working on all summer finally ended yesterday, so hoping I will be able to get back out with the camera in the next couple weeks. Hope you're well!
@@ChristopherCina Thanks Christopher, I will look forward to it
Hey Christopher! Great video man, loved listening to your commentary. That drone work at sunset was so nice too
Hey Ben! I've been lugging that drone around for weeks hoping to be able to be in a place where I can use it. Colorado is pretty strict about it, Iowa, not so much. Thanks for watching!
@@ChristopherCina Yeah that's understandable haha. I think that's one of the biggest issues I have about buying a drone is where you can and can't use it, it's such a grey area. Glad you got to use it :)
Another great video Chris, enjoyed the broll, footage and images you got. 1:50 and 11:44 really stood out to my personal taste. 😁
Hey Rauri! I was happy I was able to get some images on this trip (I've been in a bit of a dry spell lately) and also the fact I was able to use the drone. Tough to find places here in Colorado to use it. Thanks for watching!
Nice stuff. FYI the correct pronunciation of the name of the soil type of those hills, based on the original German is LUS. The only other place in the world where soil based hills like that are found is in China.
Ha! Thanks, I've heard so many different pronunciations of Loess, I just picked one and went with it! Hoping to get back to that area later this year, thanks for watching!
Great video Christopher! Who knew Iowa could be so beautiful?! Glad to have found your channel! Loved the shots especially from the backroads. I especially liked the one of the road with the lone tree! Hope you are doing well and can't wait to see more content! Have a great week and stay safe!
Hey Paul, thanks for subscribing! I've been enjoying your videos for a while. I really enjoyed the the UK VS USA vid, also your storm vids. You should know though, I'm a HUGE Chelsea fan so expect a little stick when Frank tramples Ole!
@@ChristopherCina hahahahahaha I accept all kinds, even Chelsea fans 😂 Well, glad to know that we are following each other. I'm off today, gonna catch up on some of your past videos as well! Glad you liked the UK/USA challenge, that was a lot of fun to do! Have yourself a great weekend and stay safe out there!
Where do I start for trip on back roads of Iowa coming from Chicago . Thanks
I came in from the Nebraska side so I started in Omaha, crossed the border drove south and hour and turned off the first dirt road I saw, most of the backroads aren't even paved, similar to Colorado. Coming from Chicago wouldn't be hard, just need to head directly west, once you cross the Mississippi, you can just get lost. If you want something more specific, head to Clinton, IA from Chicago and jump n the Lincoln Highway heritage byway. Lots of tiny towns and backroads to explore.
