Magical Bluehour, Fitz Roy, Patagonia
I was out shooting the Milky Way and taking timed exposures when something truly magical happened. As the Milky Way faded with the coming dawn, the sky transformed into this beautiful pink color from the low sun rising on the opposite side.

This is a shot of Lake Skadar, Montenegro, which captures its beauty in the combination of the elements shown. Rippling water, reeds, water lilies, and rising land, all seen together, make this lake what it is: beautiful. The shot is the black-and-white version of the colored one shown on this site.

The sun has just reached the mountain range and bathes the dunes in golden light. Wind sweeps over the tops of the dunes and drives the sand before it, leaving a crackling sound around me. The perfect moment for the shot!

Amongst The Clouds, Giau Pass, Dolomites, Italy
It was cloudy all morning. Then, all of a sudden, a brief shaft of light struck the Dolomites for a few seconds, and the landscape changed rapidly, revealing the full beauty of those mountains.
Ice Pile At Dusk, Lake Superior, Minnesota, USA
A calm, subtle, uncontrollable force is displayed along Lake Superior—the sounds of ice being piled up along the shoreline. I spent a few days trying to capture this raw natural beauty, and this particular evening had to be the best day to capture its beauty. When I came upon this particular area, I was blown […]
