Laupahoehoe Explodes Again, Laupahoehoe Point, Hawaii, USA
I’ve taken countless photos of the intense and mesmerizing wave action at Laupahoehoe Point on the Big Island in Hawaii. Prevailing winds come from the east and bring waves that build as they hit the shallow waters of the point and explode against the east-facing lava towers that surround the point just offshore. Each big […]
Lower Antelope Canyon, Arizona, USA
This photo captures Lower Antelope Canyon in Arizona, one of the most photogenic places in the world. Carved by water and wind through red sandstone, the narrow slot canyon captivates with its fluid, almost sculptural forms. Warm shades of red and orange contrast with the intense blue sky visible through the crevices overhead. Natural light […]
Inviting Sunrise, Ferryland, Newfoundland And Labrador, Canada
In June 2025, I spent three wonderful weeks with friends in Newfoundland, capturing its natural beauty, including whales, birds, icebergs, and stunning landscapes. As mentioned in previous posts, I like to plan my shots using the Photographer’s Ephemeris application and weather forecasts. This image is an exception! The first morning in Ferryland, I got up […]
Reeds And Curved Stream, Lake Skadar, Montenegro
The story of this monochrome picture of a curved path of reeds in Lake Skadar, Montenegro, is about how to get a good shot from a small motorboat while standing as the boat moves into the curve. I wanted this picture because the curved path of the reeds presented, at least to me, an opportunity […]
Pasture to Peak, Telluride, San Miguel County, Colorado, USA
I awoke before sunrise on this summer morning, motivated to find a new perspective of the San Juan Mountains. I decided to drive up a back road I had heard about before, keeping an eye on locations where the compositions would accentuate the light hitting Wilson Peak at sunrise. I was drawn to the weathered […]
Setting Moon, Riviere Des Prairies, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
I took this photograph on February 2, 2026, at 7:34. The result reflects two fundamental elements of photography: careful planning and familiarity with one’s gear. As mentioned in a previous publication, I used The Photographer’s Ephemeris to identify local vantage points that I could reach in less than twenty minutes. The weather forecast was favourable, […]
Magic Sunrise, Cobbs Arm, Newfoundland And Labrador, Canada
In June 2025, I spent three wonderful weeks with friends in Newfoundland, capturing its natural beauty, including whales, birds, icebergs, and stunning landscapes. The night before, I used The Photographer’s Ephemeris to confirm whether the vantage point was appropriate for capturing sunrise; the weather forecast was also good. On that day, sunrise was at 05:00. […]
Approaching Lake Skadar Monochrome, Montenegro
This is the companion shot to the colored Approaching Lake Skadar. I believe the monochrome shot allows for a better appreciation of the lines and the contours of the photo undisturbed by the colors. It brings with it a sort of minimal simplicty which I really like.
Some Small Island, Courtenay, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
I often drive the logging roads looking for something different. On this September day, I saw an interesting composition and stopped my car to have a better look. Here I am, standing on a mountainside on the east side of Vancouver Island, looking across the Strait of Georgia at the coast of western British Columbia. […]
Civita di Bagnoregio, Lazio, Italy
Civita di Bagnoregio, better known as the ‘dying city’, is built on a clay hill that tends to erode over time. It is only a matter of time before this marvel will one day be gone. It is usually shrouded in fog; however, on the morning I photographed it, it was almost entirely absent.
