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. (This is my favorite HDR photos that I have taken!)

Driving on Highway 285 South from Santa Fe to Roswell, New Mexico, I had to stop as the sky was putting up a show for me. The yellow desert grass was lit up by the evening sun, and created a perfect rainbow under that rain storm on the horizon. It was a spectacular evening that day.

View of nearby mountain range behind arched stone structures.

I was walking around the island of La Giudecca, Venice when I saw this amazing cat taking in some sun at the window. What is amazing is that he has the same colors in his fur as his environment.

I snapped this photo on a recent trip to visit my girlfriend in France. Only one day into our trip, this set the tone for my wonderful experience in France!

The image was taken with my Canon EOS 50D and an EF-S 10-22mm lens I was renting. I think I won't rent it again because I'm going to BUY that lens it's so nice! Taken at 16mm, 1/160 sec @ f/8 (sweet spot for that lens), ISO 200. The camera was hand-held and I shot a single RAW exposure. The photo was then edited in Lightroom, Photomatix Pro, then Photoshop CS4 and then back to Lightroom for final touches.

Panorama of Tuscan countryside.

This is Hamlins Hill Mutukaroa, a regional park right in the middle of the city. It was tough to get a decent shot with factories and office buildings in the background, but I think this kinda looks okay. (And yes the grass really was that colour)

This image was taken on a hiking trip in February of 2010, in the Painted Hills Unit of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. I had just gotten a new camera so on my way back from Central Oregon I stopped to hike some of the trails and take some pictures. It was a nice and clear sunny day, and not too cold - perfect for hiking that area. I took this at the first parking area and trail.

The gray layers are mudstone, siltstone, and shale formed from sediments deposited on an ancient river floodplain. The black layers are manganese nodules or manganese stains. The red layers are ancient soil profiles (laterites) that formed on floodplain deposits. Surface weathering relatively quickly breaks down these rocks into a clay-rich surface coating that easily erodes during summer flashfloods and/or winter storms.
