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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I’ve been wanting to explore the Hanksville and surrounding area of Utah for years, and I finally was able to take a short trip there. My first Factory Butte sunrise did not disappoint. I cannot wait to go again and explore more of this amazing area.

Before leaving home, I checked the Photographer’s Ephemeris app to confirm that the location was appropriate for capturing […]

Sunrise Over The Mountains, Wadi Sahtan, Oman

Sunrise Over The Mountains, Wadi Sahtan, Oman

I am part of a local astronomy group that regularly goes on weekend trips to dark sites, normally around the new moon period. Here in Oman, there are still a few locations that are remote enough to allow good observation, where light pollution is lower than usual. Last February, the group headed to Wadi Sahtan, […]
