This staged photo was created with a variety of leaves collected in Virginia during late August. The leaves were arranged in a blue bird bath. As the sun was coming up in the morning it illuminated the leaves to near perfection. This photo is completely unedited.

On a week's holiday to north Cornwall, my wife and I spent plenty of time photographing the scenery, including a number of bays. Holywell Bay, just south of Newquay was perhaps my favourite, and we were lucky enough to see some great sunsets.

I was staying in Bodega Bay when I took this photo; and you just never know when the fog will lift, but sometimes when it does it's beautiful! It was pretty windy and cold but nonetheless beautiful! It's a little dark to the right in my opinion but the dark contrasts well with the vibrant sunset colors.

An evening twilight shot from the Mont Agel, near the Nice Air Base Station located at the top of the mountain (1,148m). Weather conditions were superb, clear, clean air, almost no humidity or wind. View is up to 80km to the terrains of Saint Tropez. 3-exposure HDR with a 14mm wide angle lens.

This is a succulent plant we have at my house and I love the patterns in it, especially with the rain drops. I used the macro lens to capture the droplets! Hope you enjoy.

This shot was taken on an incredibly windy evening in Bodega Bay! It's taken from a pull out off of Highway 1, and overlooks Salmon Creek running into the Pacific Ocean at North Salmon Creek Beach. It's two shots, 1 exposed for the sky and 1 exposed for the foreground. I used masked layers in Photoshop to blend the two together. I'm pretty happy with it, wish it was a tad more in focus but I feel the wind contributed to that a lot as well!

This shot was taken in Bensingersiel at the North Sea a few minutes before sunrise. Except for graduation curves, I didn't have to add any saturation. The colors were amazingly strong. The sky and foreground were taken from two separate shots, because I didn't have an ND-Grad filter with me and the difference in brightness was even too strong for RAW-editing.
