A composition of two hastily taken shots atop the Empire State Building. We were fortunate to have arrived at the viewing deck during twilight on a beautiful evening in early July 2009. By no means is this my best work but the colours were too exciting and changing too quickly to miss.

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 picture at the "Hintersee" in Bavaria, Germany. The weather was perfect and it lay a lot of snow (about 60cm).

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.

A high shutter-speed image of Lake Ontario, Toronto. It was taken while half buried in the sand with a freezing wind chill blowing past.

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.

I took this photo just before a storm on the beautiful Kourio Beach in Cyprus.

Nikon D90, Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX at f/11, three exposures taken (-2, 0, 2 EV).

Near Mt. Charleston, just outside Las Vegas, NV. The storm was following my Jeep out of the mountain. For a brief moment, the Sun broke through the dense cloud cover and cast a light on this mountain to my side. Luckily I pulled over and snapped the shot before the storm reclaimed the land.
