On the way back home from the mountains there was this lonely shepherd in a field.

Taken on the way out of Yosemite in April of 2010. We stopped several times along the to marvel at the beauty of this place. The contrast of the scene called for HDR, so I bracketed 5 exposures and combined them later in Photomatix. This shot captures the mood of the place when I was there.

Taken in Half Moon Bay, California. I used a series of cheap ND and Graduated ND filters which gave the scene a magenta hue. After correcting the colors in Photoshop, I realized I liked it better the way it was.

I took this shot during my London trip in October. We attended on one of the daily bus tours to Stonehenge and i created an HDR tone-mapped image out of three exposures (+1 ,0, -1). While restoring some saturation, the picture got this sepia touch. Finally i tried to retouch the people who are walking around Stonehenge. As i am a Photoshop beginner, please be gentle with this retouch.

Shot it in Dalhousie, India. Easily one of the most beautiful sunsets I've seen.

Yosemite National Park. After nearly an hour of winding, boring forest roads, nearly all of my passengers felt the pangs of motion sickness. We then entered a concrete tunnel with a point of light in the distance. Once we emerged from the tunnel, this majestic view greeted us. I was swept off my feet. So worth it.

This mountain is the highest place one can reach in Iran. Damavand has always been a symbol of perfection and pride. Alborz chain mountains, Iran.

This was a shot looking up at the redwoods on the Roaring Camp Railroad, thus the smoke in the air. The steam from the engine made the sunlight piercing through the trees come to life. Felton, California

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!
