Morning Fog, St Hilarion, Charlevoix, Quebec, Canada
In October 2024, I spent a wonderful week in the Charlevoix region with friends, all of us eager to capture the beauty of autumn with our cameras. Each day began with fog, leading to the big question: how could I capture an interesting landscape in these foggy conditions? One night, I decided to plan my […]
Frost and Floating Summits, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, NC/TN, USA
I had driven four hours to the Great Smoky Mountains with my then-new Nikon Z5 mirrorless camera. A winter hike in one of my favorite places felt like the perfect way to break in my upgraded system. When I arrived at the Oconaluftee Visitor Center, I set up to capture the elk bugling, only to […]
Great Sand Dunes National Park, Mosca, Saguache and Alamosa, USA
It was a crowded day at Great Sand Dunes National Park, not exactly the ideal situation for a photographer. Suddenly, a massive storm rolled in and cleared the park, giving me the solitude I needed to capture the beauty of this area.
Mt Cook in Spring, Southern Alps, New Zealand
One of New Zealand’s most iconic subjects for photography is Mount Cook, our tallest mountain. Discovering new perspectives of this mountain involves a lot of driving and stopping, followed by a walk along a little-known, barely visible track. However, this effort can lead to remarkable finds. It’s refreshing to see Mount Cook surrounded by foliage, […]
The Majesty of Skogafoss, Iceland
It was a lifelong dream to visit Iceland’s waterfalls, and this year I finally made it happen. When we reached Skogafoss, I asked my wife to put on her yellow raincoat and get as close as possible to the waterfall. Her boots filled with freezing water—it was April and still quite cold in Iceland. I […]
Foggy Killarney Lake, Bowen Island, British Columbia, Canada
Blue hour walk around Killarney Lake on Bowen Island in British Columbia, Canada. The island is part of the Pacific Northwest’s temperate rainforest, one of the rarest ecosystems on Earth — cool, wet, and alive with cedar, hemlock, ferns, and mosses. You can walk the entire lake on a relatively easy circular trail, featuring occasional […]
Coastal Redwoods, Crescent City, Del Norte County, California, USA
The California coastal redwoods are awe-inspiring. Walking through the groves on a sunny day is inspirational. With trees that have been growing in many instances for over 1000 years, and that tower the length of a football field above our heads, it’s natural that we feel their grandeur. And in some ways, it is natural […]
Clearing Clouds, Les Drus, Chamonix, France
Taken almost a year ago on our very last evening of the Tour du Mont Blanc, an 11-day circumnavigation of the Mont Blanc Massif. It had snowed on our way up to the refuge at La Flégère – one of the oldest huts in the Alps. Waiting for our final meal of the tour, the […]
Foggy La Galette, Charlevoix, Quebec, Canada
In October 2024, I spent a wonderful week in the Charlevoix region with friends, all eager to capture the autumn beauty with our cameras. One morning, I was amazed to see a thick layer of fog that resembled a massive low cloud resting on the ground. From my experience, I found that being at a […]
Foggy Reflection, Elfin Lakes, Garibaldi Provincial Park, BC, Canada
On the second day of my three-day backpacking trip to Elfin Lakes in the backcountry of Garibaldi Provincial Park in British Columbia, Canada, I had just finished an excellent sunrise when I started hiking back to camp. I decided to take a detour around the backside of Lower Elfin Lake, and I was so glad […]
