Taken August 2011 during a stormy evening while camping near Lake Mohave on the Nevada side. It was very difficult to get this shot (focusing, timing)! Just before the Sun was completely set, I got this one in... The orange light coming from the right side is from Las Vegas. These colors were the real deal, amazing moment.

Canon EOS Rebel T1i, Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II. Exposed for 12 seconds at 18mm, f/9, ISO 800. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3, tripod, shutter release cable.

This image was shot last fall in my hometown of Bodø (in the northern part of Norway). It was an overcast day and I was eating dinner with my girlfriend, when we saw that the Sun was grasping from behind some of the clouds. I grabbed my camera and ran out to capture the moment. I have heard this phenomenon being described as "Buddha's Fingers", hence the title of the image. I hope you enjoy!

This is the narrow gorge of the Lower Antelope Canyon in Arizona, where the sunlight illuminates the Navajo Sandstone in various marvelous colors.

Another 3D-rendering from my "Paradise Rock" series. I hope you like it!

I took this image at dusk near the water tower in Round Rock, Texas last December. As you can see, the town was decorated for Christmas and that tower was visible from miles away. I know it's probably not the best time of year to upload this but I didn't want to forget about it. Thanks!

(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.
