"Blown Away"
First image from another fantastic night out. This was the scene near Bow Summit this morning at around 3:45. The Milky Way seemed to emerge directly from Crowfoot Mountain. I already miss the northern reaches of Banff National Park!
Note: I really don't endorse lying in the middle of the road for photos. I had not seen another vehicle for hours and it seemed like an OK thing to do...

Bush Sunset, Queensland, Australia
The sunsets were regularly lovely and pink when i was in Queensland's outback. It's an awesome place for landscape photography. I can't wait to go back later this year

⁜
Seljalandsfoss II
Seeing how good portrait images look in the stream, I don't shoot many, this worked as a portrait quite well at the time just because of the scale.
The first time i visited this waterfall the weather was terrible, hammering it down with rain, though it didn't stop this little girl from getting up close to take her shot... Shot hand held for just under quarter of a second, as much as I could do while still keeping some kind of sharpness. To all the people who have already visited here, yeah I removed the little rope barrier... :-)

New guide to shooting sunsets and sunrises
I've just finished up my latest tips guide on sunset and sunrise photography so I thought I would share one of my favourites. This shot is from the beautiful rolling farmland of the central Queensland coast in Australia.

I haven't taken a photo in months. Probably my longest stretch without doing so. Sometimes life gets in the way, but I thought I would upload something to prove I'm not actually dead. Yet..
Oh and hi! :)

Orange, Blue and Red, Guilin, Guangxi Province, China
This is a shot of Sun and Moon Pagodas which sit on a lake in Guilin. They are typically Chinese in that they are beautifully lit at night and hugely photogenic. I especially love the reflected colour they cast across the lake.

Whiskeytown Lake NRA, The wind died down here after the stormy last couple evenings...and we got the tail end of the storm. I was hoping for lightning, but kids and lightning don't mix...so I settled for quality time with the kids, and no lightning

This was a real grab shot. I'd been doing some long exposure shots of this windmill and was just packing away when this couple walked over the brow of the hill and into shot. I quickly unscrewed my ND filter and recomposed but forgot I had it on bulb mode so had to flip the power off to cancel the shot, set to AV and try again. I just got this shot before they got too close to the Mill. Phew!

Oura Tanada
Kyushu, Japan
Although I've seen a lot of gorgeous rice terraces in the Philippines, I was still impressed with the Oura Tanada in Saga. The major difference is the rice terraces in my home country are located in the middle of a huge mountain range which makes it grand and epic. While most of the terraces I've seen in Kyushu are close to the sea which can be gorgeous for sunrises or sunsets. I equally love both and hoping I can visit them again in the near future.
Edit:
For those who are curious, here is a nice collection of rice terraces in the Philippines

Milky Way In the Bush, Queensland, Australia

The Road Home is Swoopy Sometimes... Dead Horse Point, Utah
With all the twists, turns, choices and options before her... she wondered how to know which one was right. In the end though, it turned out that all the swoops didn't matter so much as remembering where she wanted to go.
When she did that, she enjoyed the scenery so much more.
And her feet traveled in just the right direction.

I absolutely love this. So here in Brisbane they made a completely white room in the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art. Every kid who visited was given a colour sticker. The result? Beautiful chaos!

First Snow in Yosemite
I took this a little while back during an amazing Yosemite trip. I couldn't believe how lucky we got with conditions. It was the end of the fall and the valley had just seen it's first snow of the season. These luscious fall colors you see here were all gone a few days after due to the cold but for that one magical weekend the seasons overlapped to bring this display of breathtaking splendor.

Big Sur Sunset.
This is where I was January 7th, 2013.
I can hear the water moving... that clean air coming in off the ocean is very cold, but I don't care. I'm there to record a moment in time.
After all, what good is a moment without someone to share it with?

It is not every day that I see my name appear besides names like Art Wolfe and Frans Lanting...
From here, my humble thanks to Outdoor Photographer magazine for having chosen me as one of the "Modern Landscape Masters" on their annual May special issue on landscape photography. I should mention, however, that the more I photograph the landscape, the more I realize how far I am from mastering it!

I haven't photographed the East Shore of Lake Tahoe in over a year, which is a real shame because it's only a twenty minute drive from my house.
The sunset Monday night was easily one of the most spectacular ones I have ever witnessed here in Tahoe. I was literally jumping up and down as I saw the images on my LCD. My wife thought I was crazy....and she's right!
This image is a result of two GND filters, a circular polarizer, and a 0.9 ND filter.
