The road between Queenstown and Glenorchy was shut due to a rock fall, so waiting on the side of the road the clouds started to break as the sun came up. The colors were stunning.

Canon EOS 500D, 18-55IS lens, shot at 18mm. ƒ/8, 1/60s. I added contrast and saturation in Adobe Lightroom 2.

HDR, sorry about that but the sky was worth it. The orange cloud lasted only 2min, then it was a weird blue again. The sky behaves oddly up there. Iceland is such a beautiful place.

This shot is made of 5 HDR images, each made of 7 exposures. When i was hiking up to the "Breitenstein", near "Wendelstein", in the Bavarian Alps, i had to photograph this nice panorama!

I wanted to call it "can you see your hometown", but in the single screen version you cannot see any hometowns, so i called it "View from Breitenstein".

The bridge/viaduct in the picture is the Millau Viaduct in the south of France. It is the current record holder for tallest bridge by structural height (343 meters/1125 feet). When you look at the cars you get a feeling of how big this viaduct actually is. I shot this picture on the way back home from vacation. Had to make a massive detour to see it, but was totally worth it. The picture was shot on the 6th of March, 2011. As you can tell from the picture, it was a very hazy day, but with some Adobe Lightroom 4 magic it became much better.

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.

Taken close to Sleeping Bear Dunes in Michigan. You can see them off to the right. The rain started shortly after this.

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.

10-inch f/6.3 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope (Meade LX200). Shot at 1600mm, f/6.3, 1/250 second, ISO 200 with a Nikon D700 at prime focus.

This is a closeup of a building of the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. One of the nicest looking buildings in Philly, in my opinion. Clean, simple, nice combination of patterns and color.
