A self-taught photographer has scooped a coveted award after taking stunning images of some of the most beautiful places on earth with the world's most expensive digital camera. John Chapple has been awarded the Hasselblad Owners Club Photographer of The Month for July for his mesmerising image of the Colorado River meandering around Horseshoe Bend, near Page, Arizona. It was taken on a Hasselblad H3D-50 - considered to be one of the best and one of the expensive cameras in the world. The basic camera price starts at £20,000 but can quickly soar higher once lens are added. The H3D-50 is a 50 megapixel camera - much, much higher than the standard eight megapixels found in the iPhone 5 camera and other digital recorders.

Award-winning: This image of the Colorado River meandering around Horseshoe Bend, near Page, Arizona, has won John Chapple the coveted Hasselblad Owners Club Photographer of The Month for July

The father-of-two, from Devon but now living in Southern California, took the Hasselblad on a road-trip through the west coast of the States to Canada and back down through Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and Nevada

It was his beautiful images from the trip, which also includes one of a man dancing in a beam of light in Antelope Canyon, that won him the prestigious prize.

On his blog, he wrote: 'Hasselblad were kind enough to allow me to test drive their H3D-50 in the summer of 2010. I took a road trip up 'I was really excited to get to Page, Arizona, to photograph Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon, and really use the Hasselblad as it was intended. 'The canyons are on Navajo land, and after a flash flood that killed 11 tourists in August of 1997, visitors are only permitted to enter the canyon with a Navajo guide. 'I joined a guided tour group, and we were shown the best spots to photograph. When we got to the place I'd wanted to photograph in Antelope Canyon, I got caught up in what I was doing, and didn't notice that the group had moved on.

Trick of the light: John captured this image of a man dancing in a shaft of light within Antelope Canyon in Arizona with the Hasselblad 50 megapixel camera while on his road-trip across America
