Setting Sun at Kirkjufellsfoss, Kirkjufell, Iceland
This photograph shows a picturesque view of Kirkjufell Mountain, one of Iceland’s most recognisable landscapes. The setting sun illuminates the peak with warm, golden tones, contrasting with the cool blue sky and distant mountains. In the foreground, a gently cascading waterfall adds dynamics to the composition, creating a harmonious blend of rugged rock, flowing water, […]
Air Terjun Tanggedu, Sumba Island, Indonesia
On my most recent visit, we also visited the island of Sumba. There are some waterfalls to be found on the island, including Air Terjun Tanggedu, where you can also find a small canyon connecting to the waterfall itself. It is not always possible to plan for the light and weather conditions on these islands […]
Ben’s Bluff Falls, Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, Belize
Belize and Central America, in general, are home to numerous spectacular waterfalls of all shapes and sizes. On my frequent trips to the region, I try to chalk another off the list. In Belize alone, I’ve photographed over a dozen. One place I keep returning to is the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary. It’s tucked off […]
Morning Light on Proxy Falls, Willamette National Forest, Lane County, Oregon, USA
For me, photographing a waterfall is one of the most enjoyable exercises in landscape photography. While consistent in their reason for existence – water cascading over a substantial elevation change – their variety in form, setting, flow, and accessibility provides endless opportunities for composition and creative interpretation. Living in the central Oregon region of the […]
The Great Falls From Overlook 3, McLean, Virginia, USA
While recovering from hip surgery a couple of winters ago, I dragged myself and my gear out to Great Falls on the Potomac River, Virginia side near Washington, DC, on a cold, overcast January day to try out long-ish exposures of moving water using my new circular ND filter. I took a bunch of photos […]
Sunset at Kirkjufellsfoss, Kirkjufell, Iceland
The golden light of an Icelandic sunset bathes the Kirkjufellsfoss waterfalls in a soft, warm glow. The long exposure captures the silky flow of the water, creating a serene contrast to the rough texture of the rocks and stones in the foreground. In the background, Mount Kirkjufell rises majestically—one of Iceland’s most iconic landmarks.
Waterfalls and Swirls, Maltatal Valley, Carinthia, Austria
Actually, I had wanted to hike to a much higher waterfall last weekend, but first, I came across this little waterfall and saw the bubbles and dead wood that seemed to rotate in some way. I made a short exposure of 1/5 sec for the waterfall and a few longer exposures using an ND filter […]
Villa d’Este, Tivoli, Roma, Lazio, Italy
I took this photo just as we were entering the Villa d’Este. We had a driver who suggested it would be a great way to spend a day near Rome. He was 100% right. Even though it was November, the Italian countryside delivered, as usual. The gardens were gorgeous, and the gravity-based engineering of the […]
Mona Vale Rockpool, NSW, Australia
I was capturing the sunrise at this rock pool when the waves slowly began to grow higher and higher, crashing more aggressively against the rocks. Suddenly, one massive wave surged over the steps, cascading down like a waterfall, completely sweeping me up in the unexpected drama of nature’s power. It was both breathtaking and surreal.
Upper Mesa Falls, Idaho, USA
While traveling to Yellowstone National Park, I took this scenic byway out of Ashton, Idaho. I stopped first at the Upper Falls and was very impressed, then went to the lower falls, which were nice, but you needed a telephoto lens to capture them. As I was taking a picture, a gentleman suggested I return […]
