Finally! After waiting for several weeks I finally got the chance to catch a clear twilight sunrise over Monaco. Getting up at 4.30am and then hiking uphill (steep!) for 1 hour straight wasn't easy, but totally worth it! Also check out the pics of the actual sunrise in my wallpaper section on my website. Enjoy!

Réglages de la photo : 14 mm, f/11.

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 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.

Magnolia Street in Huntington Beach, California. I got this shot as a small and early winter-type storm made it's way out of Southern California. The beach was completely empty and perfect for an evening shoot.

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!

Shot it at Gorai Beach, Mumbai. Had to sprint 500 meters across the beach with my camera bag and tripod to get the perfect waves and light at the back.

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.
