The Great Falls From Overlook 3, McLean, Virginia, USA
While recovering from hip surgery a couple of winters ago, I dragged myself and my gear out to Great Falls on the Potomac River, Virginia side near Washington, DC, on a cold, overcast January day to try out long-ish exposures of moving water using my new circular ND filter. I took a bunch of photos […]
Sunset at Kirkjufellsfoss, Kirkjufell, Iceland
The golden light of an Icelandic sunset bathes the Kirkjufellsfoss waterfalls in a soft, warm glow. The long exposure captures the silky flow of the water, creating a serene contrast to the rough texture of the rocks and stones in the foreground. In the background, Mount Kirkjufell rises majestically—one of Iceland’s most iconic landmarks.
Villa d’Este, Tivoli, Roma, Lazio, Italy
I took this photo just as we were entering the Villa d’Este. We had a driver who suggested it would be a great way to spend a day near Rome. He was 100% right. Even though it was November, the Italian countryside delivered, as usual. The gardens were gorgeous, and the gravity-based engineering of the […]
Eastern Barn Owls, Tissamaharama Village, Sri Lanka
Tissamaharama is very well known for birding, and also for the different owl species found in this area. Near the lake Tissa Wewa, there are a lot of old trees where you can spot the Eastern barn owls. Sometimes, you can find 5 to 6 of them in these trees. It’s during nighttime when they […]
Upper Mesa Falls, Idaho, USA
While traveling to Yellowstone National Park, I took this scenic byway out of Ashton, Idaho. I stopped first at the Upper Falls and was very impressed, then went to the lower falls, which were nice, but you needed a telephoto lens to capture them. As I was taking a picture, a gentleman suggested I return […]
Below Old Man’s Cave, Hocking Hills State Park, Logan, Ohio, USA
When I retired eight years ago, I knew that one of the things I wanted to do was to spend more time on photography. At the time, I had never been on a professionally led photo workshop, so as an experiment, I thought I would give it a try. The one that I picked out […]
Middle Falls at Gooseberry Falls State Park, Minnesota, USA
The early spring season was making its appearance along the North Shore of Minnesota, and during this time, the waterfalls were raging. I decided to hunt for some waterfalls during that weekend, and Gooseberry Falls was ideal for the right lighting. The middle falls are what you see here, and it’s the most popular of […]
Svartifoss Waterfall, Vatnajokull National Park, Iceland
Svartifoss waterfall is 1.5 km or a 45-minute hike from the nearest car park. I went there in September a few years ago, and on the day I captured this image, it was very overcast with showers of rain and misty conditions. In my opinion, these are the perfect conditions for black and white photography. […]

Mulafossur Waterfall, Vagar, Faroe Islands
The amazing Mulafossur Waterfall in the Faroe Islands is a must-visit location for all landscape photographers. The islands are unique, with breathtaking views and fabulous light. This shot was taken during the day with a 10-stop ND filter on a tripod; multiple images were stacked together in Photoshop to create the final image showing the […]
