After my little misinterpretation of Zermatt's traffic regulations (no cars allowed - $700 fine if you get caught), I ended up having to hike for 2.5 hours, 4 miles and about 1,000 meters in altitude with roughly 15kg on my back. Finally, I arrived at Stellisee, a small lake with a fantastic panorama of the Swiss Matterhorn. After I finished shooting, I hiked back the super dark trail, well prepared like any other mountain guide, with my new iPhone flashlight app! Photo comes straight out of the camera, so no further alterations.

A long-exposure shot of a sunset over Milos Beach on the island of Lefkada, Greece.

This beach has the most amazing blue-turquoise colored water I have ever seen. I think the contrast between the red colors in the sky and the blue color of the water is what makes this photo unique. I hope you find it as fascinating as I do.

We stumbled upon this lake by accident on a camping/off-roading trip. Taken hand-held with a circular polarizer.

These rockets released a spectacular barrage of smaller charges which writhed in every direction. Their erratic motion belies the stability of the camera throughout this shot.

Taken on a trip last year to the Oregon coast. The multi-monitor image is the superior image.

I was hiking in the woods when I saw this beautiful sight in Alingsås, Sweden.

Very interesting to see how small we are against these huge mountains around us. Isfahan, Iran.
