This was a shot looking up at the redwoods on the Roaring Camp Railroad, thus the smoke in the air. The steam from the engine made the sunlight piercing through the trees come to life. Felton, California

I took this photo at the top of Whistler mountain after a huge electrical storm. This was taken quiet late at night, around 10:30pm. It was taken around July 2009. Amazing sight.

I found these trees along the way to a waterfall in the Yosemite Valley.

Composite of one of my Iceland Aurora shots (available on my homepage as wallpaper) and an old photo of Bannalpsee (Lake Bannalp) in Switzerland.

Once I finished combining the Aurora sky with the once daylight scenery of Bannalpsee, I used Flaming Pear's great Photoshop plugin -Flood- to create the Aurora reflections. I little tweak merges both layers so that the original ripples are combined with the new "fake" ripples of the Aurora sky. Then I mostly corrected minor artifacts and color fringing and last but not least, used Nik Color Efex to play around with the colors.

Let me know in the comments whether you liked it or what you'd improve. Enjoy!

When I flew to the the United States I had this kind of picture in my mind. So when I actually got to drive there (Death Valley, California), this was the image that I always wanted to shoot. So I got out of the car with easily over 125 degrees Fahrenheit, kneeled down and shot it. It was hot but certainly worth it!

A glass building near downtown Seattle on a predictably cloudy day. The abstract beauty of it caught my eye.
