Intimate View of Donut Falls, Big Cottonwood Canyon, Salt Lake City, USA
Donut Falls is a delightful hike up Big Cottonwood Canyon just outside of Salt Lake City. It was a beautiful hike during wildflower season. It wasn’t until I got to the top of the hike at the falls that I realized I had left my wide-angle lens at home, and only had my macro lens. […]
High Winds, Haifoss, Iceland
Iceland tends to be immensely windy; on this particular day, it was a red wind warning (67 MPH), and you can see the spray on the waterfall. While taking this photo, I almost lost my camera in the ravine due to the high winds and the nature of the shooting location. Stitched panoramic, shot in […]
Setting Sun at Kirkjufellsfoss, Kirkjufell, Iceland
This photograph shows a picturesque view of Kirkjufell Mountain, one of Iceland’s most recognisable landscapes. The setting sun illuminates the peak with warm, golden tones, contrasting with the cool blue sky and distant mountains. In the foreground, a gently cascading waterfall adds dynamics to the composition, creating a harmonious blend of rugged rock, flowing water, […]
Air Terjun Tanggedu, Sumba Island, Indonesia
On my most recent visit, we also visited the island of Sumba. There are some waterfalls to be found on the island, including Air Terjun Tanggedu, where you can also find a small canyon connecting to the waterfall itself. It is not always possible to plan for the light and weather conditions on these islands […]
Ben’s Bluff Falls, Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, Belize
Belize and Central America, in general, are home to numerous spectacular waterfalls of all shapes and sizes. On my frequent trips to the region, I try to chalk another off the list. In Belize alone, I’ve photographed over a dozen. One place I keep returning to is the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary. It’s tucked off […]
Morning Light on Proxy Falls, Willamette National Forest, Lane County, Oregon, USA
For me, photographing a waterfall is one of the most enjoyable exercises in landscape photography. While consistent in their reason for existence – water cascading over a substantial elevation change – their variety in form, setting, flow, and accessibility provides endless opportunities for composition and creative interpretation. Living in the central Oregon region of the […]
The Great Falls From Overlook 3, McLean, Virginia, USA
While recovering from hip surgery a couple of winters ago, I dragged myself and my gear out to Great Falls on the Potomac River, Virginia side near Washington, DC, on a cold, overcast January day to try out long-ish exposures of moving water using my new circular ND filter. I took a bunch of photos […]
Sunset at Kirkjufellsfoss, Kirkjufell, Iceland
The golden light of an Icelandic sunset bathes the Kirkjufellsfoss waterfalls in a soft, warm glow. The long exposure captures the silky flow of the water, creating a serene contrast to the rough texture of the rocks and stones in the foreground. In the background, Mount Kirkjufell rises majestically—one of Iceland’s most iconic landmarks.
Villa d’Este, Tivoli, Roma, Lazio, Italy
I took this photo just as we were entering the Villa d’Este. We had a driver who suggested it would be a great way to spend a day near Rome. He was 100% right. Even though it was November, the Italian countryside delivered, as usual. The gardens were gorgeous, and the gravity-based engineering of the […]
Upper Mesa Falls, Idaho, USA
While traveling to Yellowstone National Park, I took this scenic byway out of Ashton, Idaho. I stopped first at the Upper Falls and was very impressed, then went to the lower falls, which were nice, but you needed a telephoto lens to capture them. As I was taking a picture, a gentleman suggested I return […]
