Taken just after dusk from Lake Samsonvale, Brisbane, Queensland. I spotted these water lilies and thought they would make an ideal foreground. The sky above was amazing too, though even at 16mm it wasn't wide enough to fit the entire scene.

Taken from the peak of Uetliberg, a Swiss mountain plateau next to Zurich, using a Vixen Polarie, a device that helps to even out the rotation of the Earth. Exposure time was about 90 seconds at ISO 50.

I took this photo at the top of Whistler mountain after a huge electrical storm. This was taken quiet late at night, around 10:30pm. It was taken around July 2009. Amazing sight.

Morning light hits the peaks rising from Milford Sound, a fjord (yes, it really is a fjord not a sound!) in south west New Zealand. I got hugely lucky with the weather for this shot, as Milford Sound is the wettest inhabited place in New Zealand and one of the wettest in the world. New Zealand is a fairly long way south, which means in winter you can wake up at 7am and still have time to get out and catch the sunset! I drove down in the morning and caught this scene. Perfect weather, a lovely crisp -3 degrees, not a cloud in the sky, brilliantly calm water.

This is Manarola, my favorite of all the Cinque Terre (5 lands) in Italy. I'm studying in Florence for four months. Missing the summer and ocean, I took a train and spent one day walking among the most beautiful landscapes with my girlfriend. Via del amore (path of love) and a beautiful sunset made this a magical place. One of my favorites on Earth.

This photo was taken during a trip to a park in the Quebec Laurentians in Canada.

This is a shot of one of the Twelve Apostles which can be seen from the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. It was a steamy 38 degrees celsius/100 degrees fahrenheit.

As I moved out of this farm after having a light drink in it, I found out that I've just had a heavenly drink in such a heavenly nature scene. Smell of spring plants were all over the area.

This was a lucky shot! On our snowmobile ride a friend and I took the wrong turn and found ourselves on the way up the mountain. While attempting to turn the snowmobile around, it got stuck and therefore we had time to take some pictures of the magical sunrise/sunset scene. In december the sun never really rises above the horizon in this area. Ylläsjärvi, Finish Lapland.
