Mosteiros Natural Pools, Azores, Portugal

I headed to the natural pools of Mosteiros just before sunset, hoping to capture the raw beauty of the Atlantic as the last light disappeared behind the horizon. With a long exposure, the restless ocean turned into a soft, almost dreamlike flow between the dark volcanic rocks. Above it, the sky exploded in shades of […]

Approaching The Tetons, Grand Teton National Park, WY, USA copy

Summer in Grand Teton National Park is busy, and experiencing raw nature becomes more difficult among the crowds and traffic. As a result, dirt roads, or in this case, two-rut roads, become welcomed alternatives to those that are paved. I drove out to an area beyond this location to seek out some wildlife and solitude, […]

I had gone to this same pier the night prior and gotten some cool foggy sunrise shots, so when I woke up that morning, I saw the fog was still hovering over the water. I immediately headed over to the pier and got some more long exposure shots, and this was one of my favorites.

Photo taken after visiting Eggum Beach. Bad weather was rolling in, so I hurried to take this picture by the side of the road without a tripod because I had just broken it. It was December, and the colors are always beautiful when it’s very cold.

The state is very mountainous, and one can spot a scene like this at almost every switchback on the road, especially in a rainy season. This spot appealed to me because of the beautiful rock formation in the foreground and the misty background.
