Sunrise At Eagle Falls, Lake Tahoe, California, USA
Our trip to Lake Tahoe was planned around photographing the full solar eclipse in August 2017. Having experienced the eclipse, the next order of business was to capture the moment of sunrise at Eagle Falls, right off the Lake Rim Road. Having been there in the past, it was a matter of finding the spot […]
Shiroka Polyana Sunrise, Rhodope Mountains, Bulgaria
Shiroka Polyana is an artificial lake nestled in the Rhodope Mountains at an altitude of approximately 1,500 metres, around 30 kilometres south of the town of Batak. Encircled by dense coniferous forests, the lake provides a refreshing retreat even during the height of summer. Its scenic location and abundance of fish make it a popular […]
Torridon Sunrise, Beinn Alligin, Annat, Wester Ross, Scotland
One of my favourite areas in the Highlands of Scotland is Torridon, a relatively compact area and a landscape photographer’s cornucopia. Even in dreich weather (a wonderfully expressive Scottish term), the area has something to offer. The weather on the morning of this shoot was (as so often in Scotland) undecided: dark clouds in the […]
Sunrise At Factory Butte, Hanksville Utah, USA
I’ve been wanting to explore the Hanksville and surrounding area of Utah for years, and I finally was able to take a short trip there. My first Factory Butte sunrise did not disappoint. I cannot wait to go again and explore more of this amazing area.
Striking Sunrise, PLage de l’Est, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
I took this photograph last March at 7:51 a.m. in Montreal, at Plage de l’Est. Montreal is a big city. However, I found many places free of visual distractions that are appropriate for capturing sunrises and sunsets. Before leaving home, I checked the Photographer’s Ephemeris app to confirm that the location was appropriate for capturing […]
Teddy Roosevelt Sunrise, Theodore Roosevelt National Park, North Dakota, USA
A particular badlands formation that I have photographed many times over my career. I was excited to have a new perspective as the clouds to the east lit up at 5:07 AM.
Lake McDonald Sunset, Glacier National Park, Montana, USA
I had a hunch that the evening held promise for a nice sunset at one of my favorite locations, as Lake McDonald is just a short drive from my residence. The clouds went from orange to gold and then to vivid red as the sun sank further below the western horizon. Taken on December 30, […]
Sunrise Over The Mountains, Wadi Sahtan, Oman
I am part of a local astronomy group that regularly goes on weekend trips to dark sites, normally around the new moon period. Here in Oman, there are still a few locations that are remote enough to allow good observation, where light pollution is lower than usual. Last February, the group headed to Wadi Sahtan, […]
Dunlap Creek Lake, Menallen Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, USA
Walking the trails at Dunlap Creek Lake during the golden hour, I came across this scene of a few men fishing on the water. The orange sky and the silhouettes provided a great setting.
Abbazia Sunset, Croatia
The image was taken in Opatija, Croatia. Sunset in Opatija offers a beautiful scene, though different from the classic one. Because the city faces east onto the Kvarner Gulf, the sun doesn’t dip directly into the sea but instead sets behind the Učka massif. Such a view brings so much peace to the soul, and […]
