Mount Hood Curves, Oregon, USA
It was so, so cold. The snow was extremely light and fluffy for the White River area, which is usually pretty warm in winter, just below freezing typically. This morning the wind chill was brutal, which is why I knew there would not be much traffic up here to witness the sunrise. As expected, I […]
Where Dreams Fade, Falcade, Belluno, Italy
Hidden within a wild and remote valley, ancient towers rise above the forest, dominating a landscape shaped by stone, water, and mist. Their imposing presence emerges through the clouds, creating the feeling of a forgotten world, distant and untouched by time.
Magic Road, Lanaudiere Region, Quebec, Canada
Several years ago, in mid-December, I was driving along Route 125 towards St-Donat-de-Montcalm. Whenever I drive through this gorgeous region, I always carry my camera with my all-purpose 24-200mm lens. As I passed this location, the scenery suddenly amazed me, and I made an emergency stop. After parking safely on the side of the road, […]
The Ladder, Quercianella, Livorno, Tuscany, Italy
A day at the beach, waiting for the sun to set on the horizon. It’s always a great emotion when the day ends; the tender emotions take over, awaiting the birth of a new day. The ladder was there, indicating an unknown path for anyone who wanted to walk it—a ladder that ends in nothingness. […]
Silky Waters After Sunset, Boa Nova, Matosinhos, Porto, Portugal
After seeing and photographing a magnificent sunset yesterday, as night fell, the darkness and calm of the ocean waters mesmerized me. In order to try to capture the atmosphere of the moment, with my camera mounted on a tripod, I used an ND filter (in-camera), a remote shutter, and a very long exposure. This allowed […]
Alpe di Siusi, Compaccio, Trentino Alto Adige, Italy
The incredible sunset in the Alpe di Siusi Mountains. A few minutes before it, I was in a restaurant eating cake. Suddenly, a hard rain and the incredible phenomenon called “Mammatus” appeared. I ran out of the hotel and was just in time to set up the tripod and shoot it!
Sun Burst, Garfagnana, Lake Turrite di Cava, Lucca, Italy
On a gloomy morning, thick with clouds, some threatening, and dark because it wasn’t yet dawn, a gap in the clouds and the landscape appeared. The miracle of dawn light materialized out of nowhere. I had a few moments to photograph that marvelous light, and then everything was darkness again. Shortly after, a heavy rain […]
Tide’s Ember, Thunder Hole, Acadia National Park, Maine, USA
This image was taken at sunrise in Thunder Hole at Acadia National Park on New Year’s Eve. The rock, fractured and layered in a way the sky cannot be, holds still while the sun performs its awaited arrival, a single coal set on the crest of the tide. I was drawn less to the spectacle […]
Moonset After Sunset, Boa Nova, Matosinhos, Porto, Portugal
After seeing and photographing a magnificent sunset yesterday, as darkness fell, the moon, also splendid, appeared in its waxing crescent phase, declining on the horizon. I photographed it above the very calm waters of the ocean. With my camera mounted on a tripod, I used a low shutter speed in order to avoid increasing the […]
Mittens, Monument Valley, Arizona, USA
A cold morning in October. I was well-positioned before sunrise. I patiently awaited, and I wasn’t disappointed.
