This shot is a composite, 5 images I believe...taken hand-held at sunset.

Available in dual and triple monitor resolutions.

My favorite place to take photographs in the last twelve months or so. A perfect sun-down mixed with a stunning view and a salty breeze from the sea.

This photo is one of many taken on a recent photo-walk around "The City" (the financial district of London) with my good friend Frank. Formally known as 30 St Mary Axe, this building is a defining feature of London's epic skyline.

I shot this last summer in Bremanger during my trip to Norway. The location is fairly close to the beach where I shot my other photo "Light Blue Night". This is a bit further out to sea, closer to the edge of the mountain to the right.

This wide-field view of the Orion Nebula (Messier 42), lying about 1350 light-years from Earth, was taken with the VISTA infrared survey telescope at ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile. The new telescope's huge field of view allows the whole nebula and its surroundings to be imaged in a single picture and its infrared vision also means that it can peer deep into the normally hidden dusty regions and reveal the curious antics of the very active young stars buried there. This image was created from images taken through Z, J and Ks filters in the near-infrared part of the spectrum. The exposure times were ten minutes per filter. The image covers a region of sky about one degree by 1.5 degrees.

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!

The Blue Angels (the United States Navy's flight demonstration squadron) perform in the skies over historic Fort McHenry. The star-shaped fort is best known for its role in the September 1814 defense of Baltimore Harbor from attack by the British Navy that inspired Francis Scott Key's poem, "The Star Spangled Banner".

This photo was taken from the grounds of the fort during the "Star Spangled Sailabration", marking the Bicentennial of the War of 1812. Baltimore, Maryland. June 16, 2012.
