I took this photo in Faro, Algarve, Portugal and was impressed with the way the paint used in this house mimicks so closely the intense colour of the sky. No polarizer or other filters were used.

A suggestive view of Bracciano's Lake from Trevignano Village. I shot this photo in the early hours using a long exposure and a tripod.

Morning light strikes Mount Sefton, part of the Mount Cook National Park in New Zealand. Mount Sefton is one of the lesser known peaks in the area, but still rises to over 10,000 feet.

This shot was taken on an incredibly windy, cold evening after work. I was headed home over Coleman Valley and pulled over and got stuck in the mud. So while waiting for a tow truck I hiked up a hill and found a nice viewpoint. Luckily it took the tow truck a while so I was there for the perfect moment just after sundown to get that incredible golden light in the shot!

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.

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.

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!
