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!

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 from Redondo Beach while waiting for a seat at a restaurant. The camera was balanced on a rock for the long exposure.

Sunset shot from a cliff above Menton on the French Riviera. Menton Garavan with its port in the foreground, the old town of Menton with the smaller port in the center leading to Roquebrune Cap Martin, and part of the Principality of Monaco appearing just behind. Enjoy!

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.

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.

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.

HDR, sorry about that but the sky was worth it. The orange cloud lasted only 2min, then it was a weird blue again. The sky behaves oddly up there. Iceland is such a beautiful place.
