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.

Canon EOS 6D, Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM.

My first successful HDR. The guy beside me had hundreds of dollars in filters. I hope his shots came out this nice!

I spent several hours hiking through the dunes taking hundreds of photos one afternoon in October. Despite having a cold and it being over 45°C I enjoyed every moment. I hope to return to this beautiful place in the near future.

The Auckland's Aquarium hosts plenty of colorful creatures. But these dozens of clown fishes diving into the deep blue light offer the most beautiful show for the eyes.
