Sunset Alignment With Salesforce Tower, Dublin, California, USA
Shooting from 35 miles away in Dublin required the R6M3 to pull off massive optical compression. As the sun dropped, it squeezed the foreground neighborhoods, rolling tree lines, and coastal fog into a single, breathtaking plane. The distant Salesforce Tower perfectly bisected the blazing sun, capturing the intricately layered landscape flawlessly in “Sun alignment with […]
Solitude At Sunset, Tel Aviv, Israel
I was on the Mediterranean beach, waiting to photograph the sunset. Quite unexpectedly, a sailboat traversed the scene just at the moment I took the shot. The solitary boat sails across the horizon beneath a radiant sunset, where layers of cloud soften the day’s final light. The image captures a fleeting balance of power and […]
The Fish Lake Sunrise, Sapareva Banya, Bulgaria
The Seven Rila Lakes are a group of glacial lakes located in northwestern Rila. They are arranged in a stepped pattern between 2,095 and 2,535 meters above sea level and occupy depressions on the mountain slope, with the individual lakes connected by small streams. When water flows through these streams, small springs and waterfalls are […]
Second Beach Sunset, Olympic National Park, La Push, WA, USA
After descending down a well-trodden trail, we reached the driftwood-covered beach. What eventually unfolded was a magical sunset at a most dramatic beach with sea stacks offshore. The sunset was captured just as it was caught between the ridgeline of old-growth Sitka Spruce forest as it sloped down to the beach and an arch in […]

Morning Storms, Lake Placid, New York, USA
Waking up before sunrise, cup of coffee in hand, I looked outside the inn and only saw rain and clouds. I wasn’t going to go out for the sunrise, but something told me maybe I should. I went out there anyways and waited patiently. Right before sunrise, the rain stopped and slowly I could see […]

Locked in at the carefully calculated vantage point with the R6M3, the fleeting window of perfection finally arrived. As the blazing sun sank into the coastal fog, it aligned perfectly behind the bridge’s span, […]
Sunrise Softness, Plage de l’Est, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
I took this photograph on July 17th at 5:08 AM in Montreal, at Plage de l’Est. Montreal is a big city. However, I found many places free of visual distractions appropriate for capturing sunrises and sunsets. Before leaving home, as always, I checked the Photographer’s Ephemeris app to confirm whether the location was appropriate to […]
Fence Line at Day’s End, Brownsville, Pennsylvania, USA
A golden hour winter sunset in the Laurel Highlands. The rough wood of the fence and the framing of the clouds and setting sun made for a quaint, peaceful setting.
Belle Tout From Warren Hill, Eastbourne, South Downs, Sussex, England
We were returning home, heading west, when I saw the pastel colors beginning to form in the sky. I took the opportunity to park at Warren Hill, which has a view of the decommissioned lighthouse Belle Tout. As the sun set, the light was epic, revealing the contours and shapes of the South Downs with […]
