I took a trip down south to Monterey to go whale watching, after that I decided to take a little trip up California State Road 1. This is Big Sur California.

White Sands is a photographer's dream. There are so many different shapes and shadows to use and it's fun trying to find the right layering and yucca plants to make a compelling image. The dark shadows two hours or so before sunset help define the dunes against all the white sand.

A break from the rain at the Cliffs of Kerry.

This is the peak of Mount Cook, New Zealand. I captured this beautiful view during a recent flight around the Aoraki area with its wonderful mountains, glaciers and valleys.

For me - and I guess for most of other people, too - reaching the top of one of these mountains is a lifelong but yet unreachable dream.

It was a rainy, cool day in Northern California. I wanted to capture the mood of the forest.

I took this photo in the winter, north of Phoenix, Arizona. I didn't think it would turn out but you can see at least 24 stars which is nice. Obviously the entire Milky Way isn't visible that time of the year but there is a lot less chaos in the photo, as I personally prefer.

A tripod was used, as well as Adobe Lightroom.

It was raining the morning we left London and drove out to Stonehenge. We were feeling less and less optimistic about our timing as the rain continued throughout the day. Fortunately, as we boarded the shuttle that took us to the site, the rain stopped and the clouds began to break apart a bit. The dying light of the day mixed well with the layers of clouds in this 4 shot HDR exposure.
