Clearing Storm Over Hadrian’s Wall, Northumberland, England
I was in Carlisle when I noticed the thunderstorm brewing out to the West but moving in fast. I got into the car and drove East to get in front of the storm. I arrived at Hadrian’s Wall and hiked up to this, my favorite location, and waited for the storm to arrive. Only a […]
Tempest On The Beach, Eggum, Norway
Photo taken in Norway in March. A storm was forecast for that day, so I took the opportunity to snap some photos of this deserted beach before it hit. It was very windy and very cold. I managed to take this photo before the downpour began.
Ranch Below San Juan Mountains, Placerville, San Miguel County, Colorado, USA
Silver Pick Rd in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado during the fall provides unlimited and awesome views. The road to this ranch leads the eye to the ranch and the mountains beyond.
Yellowstone Stream In Winter, Wyoming, USA
Riding the snowcoach through Yellowstone NP in January in minus 10-degree weather, the experience is surreal.
Converging Lines, Pangong Lake, Ladakh, India
The mountain’s edge profile, backwaters, and sandbar seem to guide towards the small strip of Pangong Lake on the left. This camera was pointed at the seldom-covered opposite side of the famous high-altitude lake.
Northern Lights, Skagsanden Beach, Lofoten Islands, Norway
We spent several nights in Lofoten, Norway, hoping for the northern lights. We were not disappointed to find them over the beach and stunning mountains. The water and beach draw your eye to the scene.
Sun Star And Wizard’s Hat, Face Rock Beach, Bandon, Oregon, USA
I almost missed this shot. It looked like a shutdown during an overcast sunset. There was no color in the sky with only minutes until official sunset, and I had given up and gone to sit on a log and just take in the scenery. I left my camera on the tripod ready to go, […]
Amazing Field Lines, St Gery Midi Pyremees, France
In September 2017, we embarked on the first leg (425 km) of the Chemin de St-Jacques-de-Compostelle in France. For such an endeavor, minimizing luggage weight is paramount, so I limited my photography equipment to one camera, two lenses, and several memory cards. In 35mm terms, I carried a 24-200mm F4 lens and a 50mm F1.4. […]
Hawes End Jetty, Derwent Water, Lake District NP, England
I wanted to capture one of Derwent Water’s many jetties, used for the lake’s boat transports. Hawes End is one that faces east, so it is great for early morning shots. This was shot pre-dawn in what would have been blue hour—but the cloud cover prevented much color of any sort. I used a 6-stop […]
Dark Hedges, Northern Ireland
The Dark Hedges in Northern Ireland are quite famous and have been photographed many times. When I visited, I arrived early on a Sunday morning to avoid the many visitors who flock to this site. Overcast skies diffused the light, and occasional light rain wet the pavement. I wandered up and down the lane, capturing […]
