California Sunset, Pacific Coast, Carlsbad, CA, USA
End of day. Gloaming. In the car, heading home, I was struck by the tranquil California moonrise over the Pacific. Nothing all that unusual, except it was kind of perfect, and I found a place to stop on the busy road in Carlsbad.
Echoes Of A Tuscan Morning, Pienza, Tuscany, Italy
A morning glimpse of Val d’Orcia from the ancient walls of Pienza — a hilltop town that embodies the quiet charm of Tuscany. Just after sunrise, soft light spills across the rolling hills as drifting clouds glide over cypress-lined roads and scattered farmhouses—some centuries old, others added in later years—gently revealing themselves through the delicate […]
Pink And Purple Sunset At White Pocket, Marble Canyon, Arizona-Utah Border, USA
After two guided visits to White Pocket, I finally decided to rent a 4WD vehicle and attempt the drive myself so I could be there for sunset and sunrise. I was rewarded with a spectacular sunset, which turned the white, puffy rocks deep pink and purple for a good 10 minutes. If only there had […]
Foggy Sunset At The Venice Beach Pier, Florida, USA
I was excited to get some sunset pier shots at the Venice Beach Pier once I discovered it was there, and on the night I was going to get some shots, a thick fog was out over the water. That fog added a really nice mood to the lighting that I was not expecting.
The Morning Lips, Plage de l’Est, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
I took this photograph on May 9th at 5:35 am in Montreal, Plage de l’Est. Montreal is a big city. However, I found many places free of visual distractions appropriate for capturing sunrises and sunsets. Before leaving home, I checked the Photographer’s Ephemeris app to confirm whether the location was appropriate to capture the sunrise, […]
Sunset Over African Savanna, Maasai Mara, Kenya
The landscape in Kenya is incredibly beautiful. This picture was taken at the end of our safari when we were heading back for the night. There was a squall developing on the horizon with a strip of landscape lit with a deep, brilliant yellow and grassland in the foreground. All of which provided a mesmerising […]

Reached after a five- to six-hour drive from Leh via the dramatic landscapes of Ladakh and Chang La Pass (5,360 metres), the lake is renowned for its shifting colours and […]
Pastel Goblins, Goblin Valley, Emery County, Utah, USA
What started off looking like an uneventful sunset at Goblin Valley ended up being a really cool pastel sunset.
Morning Light Over Val d’Orcia, Tuscany, Italy
A morning glimpse of Val d’Orcia from the city walls of Pienza — a hilltop town that embodies the quintessential beauty of Renaissance Tuscany. Just after sunrise, soft light drapes the rolling hills as clouds slowly drift in, brushing over cypress-lined roads and scattered farmhouses, some dating back centuries. An early start rewards visitors with […]
Sunrise At Eagle Falls, Lake Tahoe, California, USA
Our trip to Lake Tahoe was planned around photographing the full solar eclipse in August 2017. Having experienced the eclipse, the next order of business was to capture the moment of sunrise at Eagle Falls, right off the Lake Rim Road. Having been there in the past, it was a matter of finding the spot […]
