Reeds And Curved Stream In Colour, Lake Skadar, Montenegro
This is the colored version of the already published B&W Reeds and Curved Stream, Lake Skadar, Montenegro shot. Why two versions? Well, I am interested in knowing what the different versions bring to the viewer. The challenge of this shot was to get it from a moving, swaying boat. I think I could have shot […]
Evening Fog, Mount Menzies, Campbell River, Vancouver Island, Canada
I often visit Mount Menzies’ old forest fire lookout. From this location, you can view the lake country spreading out 3,000 feet below. I have many images of this view. On this day, as I was driving down the mountain, I saw how the evening fog was drifting through the trees. I liked the composition […]
Sunrise Over Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe, California, USA
Visiting Lake Tahoe in northern California is a special event. The elevation provides a deep blue sky, the water is among the clearest in the world, and the environment is pristine. Emerald Bay, on the southwest corner of the lake and pictured here, is one of the most popular destinations because it embodies all of […]
Full Moon Star, Plage De L’est, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
I took this photograph on September 7, 2025, at 20:58. The result reflects two fundamental elements of photography: careful planning and familiarity with one’s gear. As mentioned in a previous publication, I used The Photographer’s Ephemeris (TPE) to identify local vantage points that I could reach in less than twenty minutes. Three months earlier, I […]
Lake Ripples, Lake Skadar, Montenegro
I shot a lot of photos of Lake Skadar. Why pick out this one to be displayed? The photo shows Lake Skadar as a construction of beautiful elements laid out by the depth of the shot. Here we have the greens of the lake: reeds and water lilies. Add to that the ripples in the […]
Endless Eucalyptus Forest, Honoka’a, Hawaii, USA
Decades ago, the sugarcane business began to wane on the Big Island of Hawaii, rendering the extensive cane plantings around the island uneconomic. Many of the cane fields in the north and east parts of the island were ripped out and subsequently converted to eucalyptus groves, in hopes that the wood would someday provide income […]
Laupahoehoe Explodes Again, Laupahoehoe Point, Hawaii, USA
I’ve taken countless photos of the intense and mesmerizing wave action at Laupahoehoe Point on the Big Island in Hawaii. Prevailing winds come from the east and bring waves that build as they hit the shallow waters of the point and explode against the east-facing lava towers that surround the point just offshore. Each big […]
Lower Antelope Canyon, Arizona, USA
This photo captures Lower Antelope Canyon in Arizona, one of the most photogenic places in the world. Carved by water and wind through red sandstone, the narrow slot canyon captivates with its fluid, almost sculptural forms. Warm shades of red and orange contrast with the intense blue sky visible through the crevices overhead. Natural light […]
Inviting Sunrise, Ferryland, Newfoundland And Labrador, Canada
In June 2025, I spent three wonderful weeks with friends in Newfoundland, capturing its natural beauty, including whales, birds, icebergs, and stunning landscapes. As mentioned in previous posts, I like to plan my shots using the Photographer’s Ephemeris application and weather forecasts. This image is an exception! The first morning in Ferryland, I got up […]
Reeds And Curved Stream, Lake Skadar, Montenegro
The story of this monochrome picture of a curved path of reeds in Lake Skadar, Montenegro, is about how to get a good shot from a small motorboat while standing as the boat moves into the curve. I wanted this picture because the curved path of the reeds presented, at least to me, an opportunity […]
