Spring at Douglas Falls, West Virginia, USA
A few years ago, I decided to return to West Virginia with a good friend to photograph some of my favorite waterfalls in the spring. I had photographed the region a few times in the past and was eager to return. The weather cooperated beautifully over the course of the week with occasional overcast skies […]
Sanctuary of Life, Abiqua Falls, Oregon, USA
Abiqua Falls is to me an otherworldly oasis, one of those places where you truly feel you have entered another world. The drive is tough, the hike is tricky, the location is remote, but the view is worth every bit of effort. Standing in this pool beneath the falls, with the cool water rushing around […]
The Secret Waterfall, Silverton, San Juan County, Colorado, USA
This amazing waterfall requires a hike and a water crossing, but it is so worth it. The color of the water is unreal.
The Beautiful Glenoe Waterfall, Northern Ireland
I had always wanted to visit this waterfall, not too far from Belfast, and one day the weather seemed promising, so I raced up there. I spent a long time wading through the water trying to find the composition that I liked. I ended up picking this one and blending 3 exposures together. One was […]
Falls Creek Falls Light, Skamania County, Carson, WA, USA
Falls Creek Falls is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Washington State. It’s located on the Washington side of the spectacular Columbia River Gorge and is reached via a beautiful two-mile trail along Falls Creek through lush forest. The falls drop in three tiers. The last tier drops 135 feet over a basalt cliff […]
White River Falls, Tygh Valley, Oregon, USA
It was January 2012. I was scouting waterfall locations to film part of an Isuzu TV commercial. We needed a waterfall that we could jump over in a kayak. White River Falls is one of my favorite locations. If I’m in the area and time permits, I’ll stop by. We ended up filming the project […]
Seljalandsfoss, Sudurland, Iceland
Being general optimists, my wife and I made reservations to go on a cruise with her sisters in October 2021. Since that is a time I prefer for us to take a dedicated photography trip, I checked around for an alternative. I found a nice-looking photo workshop in Iceland for November, and made additional bookings […]
Double Moonbow Over Yosemite Falls, California, USA
In the months of May, June, and July, the full moon is perpendicular to Yosemite Falls. On a clear night, after a short hike from the Lodge parking lot, you get to the viewpoint for the Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls. While fighting the crowds and the moisture from the spray (a lens drying cloth […]
Stillness, Catawba Falls, Old Fort, North Carolina, USA
This image was taken after climbing the Ridge Trail at Catawba Falls, a steep but well-maintained route that offers less crowded access to the base of the upper falls. The trail is more of a fire service road than a traditional trail, with numerous switchbacks and significant vertical gain, but it offers a clear view […]
Fail da Terra Waterfall, Sao Miguel, Azores, Portugal
A few years ago, I had the chance to visit the largest island of the Açores, São Miguel. It was a wonderful trip, as the island is beautiful and offers almost endless opportunities for trekking or simply enjoying nature. From ancient volcanic calderas and active volcanoes with hot springs to inviting beaches, this island has […]
