The Last 2025 Sunrise, Plage de l’Est, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
I took this photograph on December 31, 2025, at 07:58. Once again, the result reflects two fundamental elements of photography: careful planning and familiarity with one’s gear. As mentioned in a previous publication, I used The Photographer’s Ephemeris to identify a local sunrise location that I could reach in less than twenty minutes. The weather […]
Reeds And Curved Stream In Colour, Lake Skadar, Montenegro
This is the colored version of the already published B&W Reeds and Curved Stream, Lake Skadar, Montenegro shot. Why two versions? Well, I am interested in knowing what the different versions bring to the viewer. The challenge of this shot was to get it from a moving, swaying boat. I think I could have shot […]
Evening Fog, Mount Menzies, Campbell River, Vancouver Island, Canada
I often visit Mount Menzies’ old forest fire lookout. From this location, you can view the lake country spreading out 3,000 feet below. I have many images of this view. On this day, as I was driving down the mountain, I saw how the evening fog was drifting through the trees. I liked the composition […]
Sunrise Over Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe, California, USA
Visiting Lake Tahoe in northern California is a special event. The elevation provides a deep blue sky, the water is among the clearest in the world, and the environment is pristine. Emerald Bay, on the southwest corner of the lake and pictured here, is one of the most popular destinations because it embodies all of […]
Full Moon Star, Plage De L’est, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
I took this photograph on September 7, 2025, at 20:58. The result reflects two fundamental elements of photography: careful planning and familiarity with one’s gear. As mentioned in a previous publication, I used The Photographer’s Ephemeris (TPE) to identify local vantage points that I could reach in less than twenty minutes. Three months earlier, I […]
Lake Ripples, Lake Skadar, Montenegro
I shot a lot of photos of Lake Skadar. Why pick out this one to be displayed? The photo shows Lake Skadar as a construction of beautiful elements laid out by the depth of the shot. Here we have the greens of the lake: reeds and water lilies. Add to that the ripples in the […]
Skunk Cabbage, Comox Valley, Vancouver Island, BC, Canada
Early one spring morning, while walking beside a small creek, I spotted a large number of skunk cabbage. As I moved along, I noticed one standing alone. I saw a wonderful opportunity to create a nice black-and-white image. So I set up my camera on my tripod, adjusted all my settings, and took the shot. […]
Evening Over Sinepuxent Bay, Assateague Island, Maryland, USA
I was excited to join a group of fellow photographers for some astrophotography on Maryland’s Assateague Island. We quickly realized that the clouds weren’t going to cooperate, so we made the most of it and wandered the island for some evening images. The Sinepuxent Bay is on the western side of the island, so we […]
Mist And Morning Gold, Rinconada, Province of Avila, Spain
Late in the autumn of 2025, just moments before sunrise, this scene unfolded in near silence along the edge of a mountain lake. The temperature lingered at –2 °C, and the morning air carried the unmistakable stillness found only in the coldest hours at daybreak. A barely perceptible breeze brushed the surface of the water; […]
Endless Eucalyptus Forest, Honoka’a, Hawaii, USA
Decades ago, the sugarcane business began to wane on the Big Island of Hawaii, rendering the extensive cane plantings around the island uneconomic. Many of the cane fields in the north and east parts of the island were ripped out and subsequently converted to eucalyptus groves, in hopes that the wood would someday provide income […]
