Glen Sligachan Waterfall, Isle of Skye, Scotland
A couple of years ago, I organized a photo trip with friends to the beautiful Scottish Highlands. We spent one week in the Glencoe region and a second on the Isle of Skye. The Highlands are truly a photographer’s paradise. To plan the trip, I relied mainly on the Landscape Photographer’s Guide for both regions, […]
Baker Creek, Haast, West Coast, New Zealand
Very rarely do I see someone else’s images and say I want that photo. This was one of only two locations I have had such an intense desire to photograph. A bucket list photo for me, and I finally got the opportunity to get it today. Still, it wasn’t without hazards, drama, more time than […]
Winter Rapids at Sunrise, Bond Falls, Michigan, USA
The winter season is hard to beat for photogenic opportunities, and it is certainly one of my favorite times to photograph. I live in the upper Midwest in the United States, and I always try to schedule at least one photo trip in Wisconsin, Michigan or Minnesota each winter. The exact timing of my trip […]
The Ice Fall, Varovitetz Waterfall, Etropolski Monastery, Etropole, Bulgaria
The Varovitetz Waterfall is located beneath a monastery near Etropole, Bulgaria, deep in the mountains. It looks especially beautiful in the spring and summer. There is a small area in front of the waterfall where visitors can stand. When I visited in the summer a few years ago, I almost got wet while taking photos […]
Tim’s Bridge, Wellfleet, Barnstable County, MA, USA
An early morning walk across Tim’s Bridge in Wellfleet is a classic Cape Cod experience. This photo was taken when the fog was still lingering, and the flora had an incredibly fine and delicate look. Even with all the trappings of modernity, the Cape retains its elemental quality as soon as you venture off the […]
Mill Pond in Winter, Oak Creek, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, USA
Located in a local park, the calm, placid Mill Pond is beautiful at any time of year, but it becomes particularly stunning in winter when the water flowing over the dam freezes into ice. The waterfall flows heavily after spring and summer rains, but slows down in the winter, becoming a gentle flow of water […]
Christine Falls, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington State, USA
One of the things I enjoy most about living in the Pacific Northwest is the easy access to several magnificent national parks, including Olympic National Park, Crater Lake National Park, North Cascades National Park, and Mount Rainier National Park. I have visited and photographed each of these parks, and I am continually amazed by the […]
Intimate View of Donut Falls, Big Cottonwood Canyon, Salt Lake City, USA
Donut Falls is a delightful hike up Big Cottonwood Canyon just outside of Salt Lake City. It was a beautiful hike during wildflower season. It wasn’t until I got to the top of the hike at the falls that I realized I had left my wide-angle lens at home, and only had my macro lens. […]
High Winds, Haifoss, Iceland
Iceland tends to be immensely windy; on this particular day, it was a red wind warning (67 MPH), and you can see the spray on the waterfall. While taking this photo, I almost lost my camera in the ravine due to the high winds and the nature of the shooting location. Stitched panoramic, shot in […]
Setting Sun at Kirkjufellsfoss, Kirkjufell, Iceland
This photograph shows a picturesque view of Kirkjufell Mountain, one of Iceland’s most recognisable landscapes. The setting sun illuminates the peak with warm, golden tones, contrasting with the cool blue sky and distant mountains. In the foreground, a gently cascading waterfall adds dynamics to the composition, creating a harmonious blend of rugged rock, flowing water, […]
