Misty Shiroka Polyana Lake, Rhodope Mountains, Bulgaria
Shiroka Polyana is an artificial lake situated in the Rhodope Mountains at an altitude of about 1,500 meters, approximately 30 kilometres south of the town of Batak. The dam is surrounded by coniferous forests on all sides, making it a refreshing retreat even during the hottest summer days. Due to its beautiful location and abundant […]
Storm Light at Elgol, Isle of Skye, Scotland
This was probably the best weather day I’ve ever experienced at Elgol on the Isle of Skye. A storm named ‘Storm Dennis’ had passed through for several hours, bringing fog, clouds, strong winds, squalls, and just about everything except snow. Later in the day, I witnessed the very tail end of the storm, with incredible […]
Abandoned Aqueduct, Road to Sete Cidades, Sao Miguel Island, Azores, Portugal
This ancient aqueduct on the island of Sao Miguel (Azores) used to supply the island’s capital with water from mountain springs a couple of centuries ago. Over time, new plumbing technologies emerged, and the aqueduct was abandoned. It is now unused and completely overgrown with moss. During my visit, the fog was so thick that […]
Old Man of Storr, Isle of Skye, Scotland
I took advantage of the break between Christmas and New Year’s Day to explore the Highlands, particularly the Isle of Skye. At this time of year in the Highlands, the sun rises around 9:00 AM, providing full daylight by 10:15 AM and setting at 4:00 PM. This gives about six hours of daylight to take […]
Misty Woodland Sunrise, Fletchers Wood, Elterwater, Cumbria, England
This morning, I had been photographing at Rydal because the forecast predicted decent fog conditions. I captured some good pictures there, and afterwards, I decided to venture further into the Langdales to see what else I could find before the fog dissipated. As I was passing Elterwater, I noticed a high-level section of woodland that […]
Daybreak Mist Illumination, North Bend, Washington State, USA
This image was captured for a memorial ebook dedicated to honoring the memory of another photographer. His final project focused on observing the skies from his home. We were tasked with capturing images that reflected the spirit of that project from our own locations. Behind my home, there is a peak called Mount Si. One […]
Sunset on Cypress Avenue, Bolgheri, Livorno, Tuscany, Italy
This is one of my most iconic photos. One of the first attempts involved planning the sun’s position to illuminate Bolgheri’s famous Cypress Avenue. I remember going there for three days straight and almost giving up hope, since the sun only appears briefly in that part of the sky. On the last day, I was […]
Morning Fog, St Hilarion, Charlevoix, Quebec, Canada
In October 2024, I spent a wonderful week in the Charlevoix region with friends, all of us eager to capture the beauty of autumn with our cameras. Each day began with fog, leading to the big question: how could I capture an interesting landscape in these foggy conditions? One night, I decided to plan my […]
Frost and Floating Summits, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, NC/TN, USA
I had driven four hours to the Great Smoky Mountains with my then-new Nikon Z5 mirrorless camera. A winter hike in one of my favorite places felt like the perfect way to break in my upgraded system. When I arrived at the Oconaluftee Visitor Center, I set up to capture the elk bugling, only to […]
Sunrise at Eilean Donan Castle, Dornie, Ross Shire, Scotland
Visiting Eilean Donan Castle had been a lifelong dream of mine. The magic and mystique surrounding this iconic landmark had always drawn me in, and I knew I had to see it for myself. In late October, I travelled to Scotland and was welcomed by moody weather, with driving rain at times and swirling mists […]
