While driving around Medicine Lake in Jasper National Park, I spotted this bald eagle in a tree near the road. As I attempted to take a photograph, it flew away. Luckily for me, the eagle circled back and landed in another tree nearby. I was able to sneak behind a tree and snap a few photos.

This photo was taken with a Canon Powershot SX50 HS and processed in Adobe Lightroom 5.

Photo Settings: 215mm, f/6, 1/100 second, ISO 800.

A friend and I went up the Columbia River Gorge to do some experimenting with star photography. This shot of the sunset over Portland ended up being my best one. The natural orange glow was just amazing.

Early summer sunrise at Jekyll Island, Georgia, USA.

I noticed this beautiful area on the island called "Driftwood Beach". It was result of a massive hurricane in the 1800's which changed the land mass of the island. Driftwood Beach was an oak forest prior to the hurricane. The hurricane removed part of the forest leaving Driftwood Beach as gentle reminder of the power and fury which nature bestows upon planet earth.

Took this pic on a rock on the shores of waterton upper lake in Alberta Canada. Cool perspective pic because that rock in the water is only 2ft high.

I intended to go out and shoot the Perseids but it is actually very hard to take pictures of a meteor shower. But it was still very impressive to just lie there and look up to the sky. I'm pretty happy with how this picture came out.

I took this macro photo while on a trip to Thailand last Winter. I saw the fly land on the leaf and got my tripod out and set up. I took some shots from a distance away and approached gradually, but the fly remained on the leaf. This photo is the closest I got before he flew away. The most photogenic fly I ever met.
