Ganoga Falls In Autumn, Ricketts Glen State Park, Pennsylvania, USA
Ricketts Glen State Park in northeastern Pennsylvania features more than 20 waterfalls along hiking trails. The waterfalls attract many visitors to the park, especially during the fall foliage season. I have hiked to the falls many times in all four seasons. During autumn, I try to photograph waterfalls earlier on a cloudy morning when fog […]
Majestic Peaks, Aiguilles d’Arves, Maurienne, France
I am always in awe of the mountains, but I feel small and insignificant beside these majestic giants of ice and rock. The north face of the Aiguilles d’Arves — 3,500 m (11,483 ft) — rises above the Maurienne Valley, nestled in the heart of the French Alps. This valley, shaped by time and glaciers, […]
Kaaterskill Falls Overview, Green County, New York, USA
In the spring of 2024, I spent a weekend at a cabin in the Catskill Mountain area of New York State. One of my goals was to photograph the waterfalls in the area. The largest of these falls is the 260-foot-high, double waterfall, Kaaterskill Falls. This landmark has been the epicenter of Catskills tourism since […]
The Haramiyata Peak Spring Wildflowers, Rila Mountain, Bulgaria
This image represents my favourite type of landscape. To me, the perfect landscape contains a foreground (usually some kind of wild flowers), a middle plane (like a lake providing reflections), and a background (usually some steep mountain peak). So, after significant meteorological research – concerning wild crosuces, wind speed per the day/hour regarding the reflections, […]
Full Moon Rising, St. George, Utah, USA
I was out to capture the Southern Utah desert sunset one early spring evening in late March. Unaware that there would be a full moon rising due east of me. The sunset that night was mediocre at best, so I headed back to my vehicle from the hiking trail, a bit depressed about not capturing […]
House On The Hill, Shinness, Sutherland, Scotland
Sutherland is full of old ruined crofts and buildings, but it took a while to capture one with a suitable tree. The weather was pretty bad, with frequent rain showers, but that actually improved the sky as the sun broke through. I used my full-spectrum converted EM1 with a 950nm IR filter to get the […]
First Snow on Les Drus, La Flegere, Chamonix, France
Last year, my wife and I completed the Tour du Mont Blanc, the 180 km circumnavigation of the massiv. It had been snowing on and off on the penultimate day and on our last evening at Refuge La Flégère the clouds finally lifted to reveal this Bierstadt-esque view of Les Drus across the valley.
Fall Colors, Pine Lake State Park, Iowa, USA
It was a calm and hot June evening. The sky was cloudless and colorless. I had just arrived at Pine Lake. I stood at the lookout point overlooking the spillway. I decided to walk the trails. I turned to my right, and what I saw was, again, the water like a mirror. The grand reflection […]
Giant’s Causeway Basalt Columns, Bushmills, Northern Ireland
This photograph, taken at dusk, captures the hypnotic landscape of the famous Giant’s Causeway basalt columns in Northern Ireland. A long exposure smooths the sea’s surface, while heavy clouds add a raw, almost mystical atmosphere. The cool, monochromatic tones emphasise the dramatic mood and the geological power of nature.
