Beams of sunset light shining through the coastal hills on the west coast of New Zealand. This shot was taken between Fox and Franz Josef glaciers by the side of the road after a long day of driving. I saw the light in the rear view mirror but couldn't see a good place to frame it. In the end I stopped just before turning the final corner into the mountains and got lucky!

A shot out the window while driving over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California. It seemed to disappear into the fog.

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!

Fog quickly rolls in during a sunset photoshoot at the Raven's Roost overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. This was the last image I was able to capture before the backdrop was totally white from fog.

My first, and certainly not last, visit of Edinburgh, Scotland with its typical cloudy sky. I enjoyed every minute of my three day vacation there. Great city!

This is the Milford Highway in New Zealand on a cold morning. It was taken while travelling out of Fiordland. After many days of perfect whether, when we finished exploring the natural attractions, the biggest snow storm in 50 years hit the southern island. This was the day before, and the first weather we had that was not clear blue skies. We drove into this area with a long straight road in the middle of a flat glacial valley, and I had to stop immediately. The lighting, the mist, the frost, everything worked out for a really nice photo.

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.

A storm suitable for the active island of Hawaii. Shot just before twilight before the Sun peaked out below the clouds to duck below the horizon.
