I took this picture on the Atlantic west coast near Saint Jean de Luz, which is basically next to Biarritz, the famous surfer spot.

This wide-field view of the Orion Nebula (Messier 42), lying about 1350 light-years from Earth, was taken with the VISTA infrared survey telescope at ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile. The new telescope's huge field of view allows the whole nebula and its surroundings to be imaged in a single picture and its infrared vision also means that it can peer deep into the normally hidden dusty regions and reveal the curious antics of the very active young stars buried there. This image was created from images taken through Z, J and Ks filters in the near-infrared part of the spectrum. The exposure times were ten minutes per filter. The image covers a region of sky about one degree by 1.5 degrees.

The Bardenas Reales National Park in northern Spain was my last stop of a photo trip through northern Spain in May 2013. It took me some time to find that spot. I had about a two-minute window for taking that picture. Before and after that, the light was quite boring.

This shot of New York City was taken right before sunset from Weehawken, New Jersey. The sky was so awesome on this night, I decided to make it just as much a main part of the shot as the city itself. Hope you like it! -Danny.

Taken of the Kalalau Valley in Kauai, Hawaii while on vacation. This location has an unreal, majestic feel to it that takes your breath away. Can't wait to go back!
