Silky Waters After Sunset, Boa Nova, Matosinhos, Porto, Portugal
After seeing and photographing a magnificent sunset yesterday, as night fell, the darkness and calm of the ocean waters mesmerized me. In order to try to capture the atmosphere of the moment, with my camera mounted on a tripod, I used an ND filter (in-camera), a remote shutter, and a very long exposure. This allowed […]
Alpe di Siusi, Compaccio, Trentino Alto Adige, Italy
The incredible sunset in the Alpe di Siusi Mountains. A few minutes before it, I was in a restaurant eating cake. Suddenly, a hard rain and the incredible phenomenon called “Mammatus” appeared. I ran out of the hotel and was just in time to set up the tripod and shoot it!
Sun Burst, Garfagnana, Lake Turrite di Cava, Lucca, Italy
On a gloomy morning, thick with clouds, some threatening, and dark because it wasn’t yet dawn, a gap in the clouds and the landscape appeared. The miracle of dawn light materialized out of nowhere. I had a few moments to photograph that marvelous light, and then everything was darkness again. Shortly after, a heavy rain […]
Tide’s Ember, Thunder Hole, Acadia National Park, Maine, USA
This image was taken at sunrise in Thunder Hole at Acadia National Park on New Year’s Eve. The rock, fractured and layered in a way the sky cannot be, holds still while the sun performs its awaited arrival, a single coal set on the crest of the tide. I was drawn less to the spectacle […]
Moonset After Sunset, Boa Nova, Matosinhos, Porto, Portugal
After seeing and photographing a magnificent sunset yesterday, as darkness fell, the moon, also splendid, appeared in its waxing crescent phase, declining on the horizon. I photographed it above the very calm waters of the ocean. With my camera mounted on a tripod, I used a low shutter speed in order to avoid increasing the […]
Mittens, Monument Valley, Arizona, USA
A cold morning in October. I was well-positioned before sunrise. I patiently awaited, and I wasn’t disappointed.
Striking Sunrise, Plage de l’Est, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
I took this photograph on August 14, 2026, at 6:21 AM, in Montreal, at Plage de l’Est. Montreal is a big city. However, I found many places free of visual distractions that are appropriate for capturing sunrises and sunsets. Before leaving home, I checked The Photographer’s Ephemeris app to confirm whether the location was suitable […]
The Aniene River Factories, East Side Suburbs, Rome, Italy
For some time, I have been working on a small project concerning Rome’s two rivers—the Tiber and the Aniene—which recently took concrete form in a workshop I am wrapping up with a local photography group where I both collaborate and learn. This photo was originally intended for that project, but due to certain editing choices, […]
White Sands Sunset, White Sands National Park, New Mexico, USA
This is one of my unique personal renditions of White Sands.
Sunset Behind European Hackberry, Penafiel, Porto, Portugal
After seeing and photographing yesterday’s (near-total) solar eclipse, I admired a magnificent sunset behind a European hackberry tree, laden with black drupes fluttering in the warm breeze. The images were taken as the sun, like a gigantic, brilliant ball of fire, touched the horizon. With the camera mounted on a tripod and a very small […]
