During my Honeymoon I woke up before the sunrise and went out for a walk. This picture describes what every sunrise was like in French Polynesia. The water by the first hut is only 3 feet deep, and by the furthest hut is about 4 feet deep.

If you ever have the opportunity to go, make sure you have your camera by your side at all times. I ended up with over 1450 pictures during my two week stay. This is one of my favorites.

This image was taken at Awenda Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada. I wanted to capture the moment of peace, relaxation, tranquility of a seagull's daily life. I used a Lee Big Stopper to slow down the motion of water while the Sun was still bright and just about to set.

Bracketed exposures were used to bring out the highlights and colours of the rocks via HDR and to mask-in the lonely flying seagull in the center of image.

Geirangerfjorden, Norway.

The series of waterfalls to the right is called "The Seven Sisters" and the hike to this view takes several hours and is pretty tough. I was hoping for better weather when we got there but I think the result came out fine nonetheless.

This picture was taken during an extended trekking tour through the Nepalese Himalayas. Reaching an appropriate altitude, you'll get magically colored glacial lakes. Easiest one of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen!
