Mana Kai is a resort on the West shores of the island of Maui, in Kihei, Hawaii. Every night, at sunset, the conch shell horn is blown to say goodbye to the day, and hello to the night. I shot this long exposure at this moment, in a high dynamic range way. Hope you like it. Mahalo!

Dead Vlei is a white clay pan located near the more famous salt pan of Sossusvlei, inside the Namib-Naukluft Park in Namibia. It is surrounded by the highest dunes in the world. this photo was taken at around 8:45AM and the temperature was already unbearable. Enjoy.

Sadly, the other day I was passing by this tree, with the idea of taking a photo of it with an Autumn feeling, but actually that tree was broken, so it's over for it. Sad, sad news for me.

These are the stars over Acadia National Park in Maine. This photo was taken on March 6, 2012. I took 30 second exposures at f/4 and ISO 200 for about 3 hours, then I merged them together using a program called Startrails.

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).

The only road that connects byway 12 to Page, Arizona. It's an impressive dirt road which never ends, or so it seems. And here I had no idea I was a couple minutes from a nice paved highway, but I had to stop and glance at the moon-like landscape behind me.

My favorite picture I took at a photoworkshop in Berchtesgaden, Germany about a year ago.

Canon EOS 5D, Samyang 14mm.

Taken in Saint-Basile, Québec, Canada with a Canon Digital Rebel XTi. I used a technique called HDR to get the maximum luminance into the picture. I also applied a tone mapping to get rich colors.

San Francisco's Pier 7. Taken on a foggy morning just before sunrise. This is looking back toward what should be the SF skyline. This is an HDR image with only very mild tone mapping used.

Nikon D300 and Nikon 18-200 lens.
