Yosemite National Park. After nearly an hour of winding, boring forest roads, nearly all of my passengers felt the pangs of motion sickness. We then entered a concrete tunnel with a point of light in the distance. Once we emerged from the tunnel, this majestic view greeted us. I was swept off my feet. So worth it.

I had photographed this view in the morning, but it wasn't until the late afternoon, on our way out, that the low sun drew swathes of warm light across the valley. This photo was the result of waiting for the light.

I took this photo in Faro, Algarve, Portugal and was impressed with the way the paint used in this house mimicks so closely the intense colour of the sky. No polarizer or other filters were used.

Sunset shot from a cliff above Menton on the French Riviera. Menton Garavan with its port in the foreground, the old town of Menton with the smaller port in the center leading to Roquebrune Cap Martin, and part of the Principality of Monaco appearing just behind. Enjoy!

This was a shot looking up at the redwoods on the Roaring Camp Railroad, thus the smoke in the air. The steam from the engine made the sunlight piercing through the trees come to life. Felton, California

Magnolia Street in Huntington Beach, California. I got this shot as a small and early winter-type storm made it's way out of Southern California. The beach was completely empty and perfect for an evening shoot.

Beams of sunset light shining through the coastal hills on the west coast of New Zealand. This shot was taken between Fox and Franz Josef glaciers by the side of the road after a long day of driving. I saw the light in the rear view mirror but couldn't see a good place to frame it. In the end I stopped just before turning the final corner into the mountains and got lucky!

Shot it at Gorai Beach, Mumbai. Had to sprint 500 meters across the beach with my camera bag and tripod to get the perfect waves and light at the back.
