From the Edge with Peter Lik

The year is barely half over but already it’s had multiple highlights for Peter. But none has been brighter than the premiere and ensuing success of his TV show “From the Edge with Peter Lik” on The Weather Channel. Though it was a dream of Peter’s for many years, even he did not envision the success the show would enjoy....

Chasing waterfall shots on the lush island of Kaua’i, Hawai’i, isn’t easy. Much of the island is still pristine (read: “almost inaccessible”). That’s the attraction and the challenge of shooting there. But that was okay by Peter, when he was there filming for “From the Edge with Peter Lik” – you could say it’s in his blood. “I’ve always been...

From M-16s to cathedral-sized caves, Puerto Rico was definitely something different for Pete and “Uma.” AZ: Puerto Rico was the first “From the Edge” shot in a U.S. territory. Was it a different experience? MT: Yeah. In a bunch of ways. But one thing I keep thinking about was when Pete and I pulled into a gas station and these...

We’ve all heard of underground movements in art and photography, but while in Puerto Rico shooting for “From the Edge with Peter Lik,” Peter experienced a different kind of “underground photography.” AZ: The most fascinating part of the Puerto Rico shoot seemed to be those massive Camuy Caves. What was it like shooting in them?...

You may never go down a hole in the ground quite as mammoth as the Camuy Caves of Puerto Rico like Peter did in tomorrow night’s episode of “From the Edge with Peter Lik.” But if you’re a photographer who does shoot in darker places, or is often out walking back from a shoot after nightfall, some quality illumination is...

The trip to Puerto Rico, featured in Thursday night’s episode of “From the Edge with Peter Lik,” was Peter’s first trip to the U.S. territory – but tropical locations are nothing new to him. Much of Peter’s early career in Australia was spent shooting the vast state of Queensland, a considerable portion of which is tropical. Those times are captured...

The feedback for “From the Edge with Peter Lik” has been fantastic. It’s obvious that viewers are really enjoying the show. And the good news is that there’s a way to further enhance the experience. The Weather Channel has a “From the Edge with Peter Lik” iPad companion app that you can get free from the App Store. Use the...

It was windy, wet and a little wild when the guys went to Olympic National Park, and even a call from Peter Lik himself couldn’t get the conditions changed. AZ: Doing the sea to sky thing: Was that arduous as it sounds? MT: It was very cool going from the beach all the way up a mountain, but because there...

Gene Kelly might have had a ball singing in the rain, but trying to get great landscape shots when the skies open up is not so much fun. When you make your living shooting the great outdoors, there’s no joy in those raindrops. AZ: How was the trip up to Olympic National Park? PL: It went well but like all...

In this week’s episode of “From the Edge with Peter Lik,” Peter goes to the rainiest place in the lower 48 states – Olympic National Park in Washington State. But things don’t have to be that extreme for a photographer to get “rain ready.” In previous “It’s in the Bag” posts, we looked at a couple of Peter’s favored weather...

When Peter headed up to Washington State and the Olympic Peninsula at the wettest time of year, he was facing some unique challenges. He was also going to see some places he’d never seen before. What also made this trip – and the related “From the Edge with Peter Lik” episode – different to most was that it took in...

And don’t forget you can enhance the viewing experience by using The Weather Channel’s free “From the Edge with Peter Lik” iPad™ app which is available at the App Store....

Peter, Mark “Riding Shotgun” Thurman, and the crew from NBC’s Peacock Productions are winding up their Yosemite Park shoot – the 13th and final shoot for Peter’s debut season of “From the Edge with Peter Lik.” It’s been quite an adventure though. “Last night we had a five-mile hike to one of the locations and we barely made it for...

Well turn off the phone, stack up the snacks, and tune in to The Weather Channel tonight for a double dose starting at 8/7c. First up: Peter heads to Death Valley in “Desert Extremes.” And right after (8:30/7:30c) you can catch last week’s postponed episode...

Tune in to The Weather Channel tomorrow night at 8/7c to see Peter take on Death Valley. The challenges pile up but nothing can stop the world’s leading landscape photographer from “getting the shot.” Follow Peter as he goes where few others will in this exciting episode of “From the Edge with Peter Lik.”...

Death Valley. Few place-names have such an ominous ring to them. But in some ways, this slice of the Mojave Desert gets a bum rap. Yes, it’s hot as fire and generally inhospitable. But it’s also a geological wonder and incredibly picturesque. “There’s a beauty to the desert that a lot of people never get to see because they think...

A second rescheduling of “Winter Extremes” – the episode of “From the Edge with Peter Lik” set in Montana – gives followers of the show a great double-header night this Thursday night, April 21. “Winter Extremes” will go to air at 8:30/7:30c, immediately following the regularly scheduled episode “Desert Extremes” (8/7c). Let Peter take you from one exciting extreme to...

In his early years as a professional photographer, Peter was given the advice “Go big or go home.” Needless to say, that’s how he’s done things ever since. In this week’s episode of “From the Edge with Peter Lik” on The Weather Channel, Peter keeps that spirit going as he heads to Montana’s Big Sky country. The episode is called...

Momentum counts, and “From the Edge with Peter Lik” has momentum. The second episode of the series, “Hidden Canyons,” clearly built on the interest triggered by last week’s blazing premiere. From the feedback we’ve received, it’s clear that many folks didn’t know about slot canyons or just what lengths Peter will go to to get the shot – including walking...

One of the things viewers have picked up on while watching “From the Edge with Peter Lik,” is that the work of a landscape photographer is not always easy. Battling the elements, waiting days for the right moment, and just plain bad luck can all make getting those special shots very difficult. In this clip from the premiere of the...

We were optimistic about “From the Edge with Peter Lik” getting good media coverage. But we didn’t guess that the media would come out in force to quite the extent it did.
