My favorite picture I took at a photoworkshop in Berchtesgaden, Germany about a year ago.

Canon EOS 5D, Samyang 14mm.

Shot at the Seattle Aquarium. It's quite hard to focus on such a small fish.

While having dinner on a boat, sitting in the middle of the Caribbean waters, I took this image.

This photo was taken at the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in the Death Valley National Park - a great sandbox for all the tourists that come here. Nevertheless, at the the end of the day, all that's left of them are their footprints in the sand. So I enjoyed the wonderful colors of the sunset on my own :) By the way, all you can hear in a sand desert is your own breath and the pulse in your ear - very interesting effect...

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.

I waited the whole day for this shot in freezing San Francisco, so worth it!

A falcon in flight. I must say that luck can play a big role in photography.

These are the stars over Acadia National Park in Maine. This photo was taken on March 6, 2012. I took 30 second exposures at f/4 and ISO 200 for about 3 hours, then I merged them together using a program called Startrails.

Canon EOS 7D, Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM, Canon wired remote.

Mana Kai is a resort on the West shores of the island of Maui, in Kihei, Hawaii. Every night, at sunset, the conch shell horn is blown to say goodbye to the day, and hello to the night. I shot this long exposure at this moment, in a high dynamic range way. Hope you like it. Mahalo!
