Taken on the way out of Yosemite in April of 2010. We stopped several times along the to marvel at the beauty of this place. The contrast of the scene called for HDR, so I bracketed 5 exposures and combined them later in Photomatix. This shot captures the mood of the place when I was there.

Took this last week from the ferry on my way to Newfoundland island. It was windy and really cold but I managed to get a steady shot from deck 10. Intense moment.

Went out to get a carton of milk and noticed that the sunset was looking interesting, so I diverted to the nearby Shoalhaven river to see if I could get any interesting shots. The tide was high and I had to wade out into the water waist-high (shorts got a bit damp) with my tripod to get a clear shot of the river. The sunset turned spectacular pretty quickly and shortly before it disappeared, a lone pelican glided into view. In the background are thousands of roosting seabirds just behind the local oyster beds.

I took this shot with an ND4 filter on my Canon EOS 550D with the standard kit lens. Hope you like it as much as I do.

Herein the description lies two full sentences about some soap bubbles against a window pane. The reasoning behind such a mundane capture was sleep deprivation.

Some camera using some lens being held stable by a tripod thingy then pushed through the software hole with some mouseclicks. (Canon EOS Rebel T2i, 100mm macro, 055xprob + frotto rail, natural sunlight, Adobe Photoshop).

A nearly full, waxing-gibbous phase of the Earth's moon. Shot on November 8th, 2011 from Hanover, New Hampshire.

Cable release and mirror lock-up mode to reduce camera shake. Live-view mode zoomed in 10x for focusing.

This feather was next to a wondow in my mothers house. It was lit by early morning sun making it glow this wonderful green and blue. I wanted to take something with me when I left that reminded me of my mom. This is what I took.

Finally! After waiting for several weeks I finally got the chance to catch a clear twilight sunrise over Monaco. Getting up at 4.30am and then hiking uphill (steep!) for 1 hour straight wasn't easy, but totally worth it! Also check out the pics of the actual sunrise in my wallpaper section on my website. Enjoy!

5-exposure HDR.

A long shot I took last weekend during a photo excursion to Cologne, Germany. I took a different viewpoint than the other photographers so that the bridge wouldn't overlap the cathedral.

Taken in Half Moon Bay, California. I used a series of cheap ND and Graduated ND filters which gave the scene a magenta hue. After correcting the colors in Photoshop, I realized I liked it better the way it was.

I took this shot from Redondo Beach while waiting for a seat at a restaurant. The camera was balanced on a rock for the long exposure.
