St Anne du Nord Lake Fog, Charlevoix, Quebec, Canada
In October 2024, I spent a wonderful week in the Charlevoix region with friends, all of us eager to capture the autumn beauty with our cameras. Each day began with fog, leaving me wondering how I could photograph an interesting landscape under such conditions. One evening, I planned a shot for the following morning. I […]
A Smile of Clouds, First Water Trail, Arizona, USA
It’s not often in the very hot summer months of the American Southwest that clouds make their way into the Valley of the Sun in Arizona. But when they do, the colors are spectacular. When a group of afternoon clouds begins to move beyond the Superstition Mountains, westward into the valley, there’s a pretty good […]
Misty Lake Wahapo, Westland Tai Poutini National Park, New Zealand
Lake Wahapo is a small glacial lake within Westland Tai Poutini National Park, about 20 minutes north of the town of Franz Josef Glacier. Whilst its original geography dates back some 12,000 years to the last Ice Age, more recently the characteristics of the lake have been changed dramatically by the natural diversion and avulsion […]
Foggy Curved Pier And Roker Lighthouse, Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England
An image captured in the North East at Sunderland features the uniquely shaped pier leading to Roker Lighthouse. During this trip, we encountered what could only be described as ‘bleak’ conditions at best. However, such conditions actually enhance this type of image by keeping it highly minimal. This was only the second time I had […]
Lentil Bloom, Castelluccio di Norcia, Italy
The lentil bloom in Castelluccio di Norcia is a photographic event worth seeing at least once in your life. True, it’s no longer the bloom it once was, but with the right light and patience in finding the right vantage point, you can take some interesting pictures.
Three Trees, Hapuna Beach, Hawaii, USA
Hiking along the Ala Kahakai Trail during a day at the beach doesn’t require much more than some comfortable sandals. So, a leisurely walk with a camera can be a welcome diversion from the bustle of Hapuna Beach.
Chasing Light At Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Nevada, USA
It was a cold morning with snow forecasted for Red Rock Canyon. I’d been keeping an eye on the skies, waiting for the clouds to start breaking. As soon as they did, I packed up my gear—a camera backpack with my camera, favorite lenses, and a tripod secured to the side. The drive to the […]
Misty Shiroka Polyana Lake, Rhodope Mountains, Bulgaria
Shiroka Polyana is an artificial lake situated in the Rhodope Mountains at an altitude of about 1,500 meters, approximately 30 kilometres south of the town of Batak. The dam is surrounded by coniferous forests on all sides, making it a refreshing retreat even during the hottest summer days. Due to its beautiful location and abundant […]
Storm Light at Elgol, Isle of Skye, Scotland
This was probably the best weather day I’ve ever experienced at Elgol on the Isle of Skye. A storm named ‘Storm Dennis’ had passed through for several hours, bringing fog, clouds, strong winds, squalls, and just about everything except snow. Later in the day, I witnessed the very tail end of the storm, with incredible […]
Abandoned Aqueduct, Road to Sete Cidades, Sao Miguel Island, Azores, Portugal
This ancient aqueduct on the island of Sao Miguel (Azores) used to supply the island’s capital with water from mountain springs a couple of centuries ago. Over time, new plumbing technologies emerged, and the aqueduct was abandoned. It is now unused and completely overgrown with moss. During my visit, the fog was so thick that […]
