Seeing the first light of a wonderful day reflected in a heart-shaped pond makes for a pretty good start. The picture was taken at Milford Sound, Fjordlands, New Zealand, on a chilly autumn morning. For a place that gets roughly 360 rainy days a year, I turned out to be pretty lucky!

(Approximately) Laguna Beach, California. The sunset was rather insipid, so I pointed my camera down instead! Taken around dusk with a polarizer to allow visibility through the water into the tide pools.

I took this photo at Byron Bay, Australia. It was a wonderful Sunday afternoon, but then started to rain. I have replaced the original sky, which was too flat, with the sky of a photo I took on a sunrise at Gold Coast. The birds are edited too. I hope you like it.

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.

A shot of Fitzgerald Reserve outside of Half Moon Bay, California. I used some graduated ND filters with around a 30-second exposure and some Photoshop touch-up.
