Stenness Stones – Orkney

Standing Stones of Stenness, Orkney. The Stenness stones, along with the Ring of Brodgar form part of the UNESCO world heritage site known as ‘the Heart of Neolithic Orkney.’  From Stenness, Brodgar is within eyesight and about a 5 minute walk to the north.  The Neolithic chambered cairn, Maeshowe, is also within visible and also […]

Ring of Brodgar – Orkney

Winter dawn at Ring of Brodgar, Orkney, Scotland. In December, the sun has little strength to rise very far above the horizon this far in the north.  The winter days are short and the nights long, only to be reversed in a few months during the endless days of summer.  Such a contrast of light […]

Elgol – Isle of Skye

The rugged and rocky coastline at at Elgol with it’s view back towards the mighty Black Cuillins as they rise from Lock Scavaig is one of the more iconic photo locations on the Isle of Skye.  As long as one is willing to gamble on good weather, it is well worth the long drive down […]

Mojave Fringe-Toed Lizard

Mojave Fringe-Toed lizard on Kelso sand dunes in Mojave national preserve, California. Shooting sunrises from 6:30-7:30am and sunsets from 6:30-7:30pm leaves a lot of hours of boredom in between.  I don’t consider myself to be any sort of nature/wildlife photographer unless an easy opportunity presents itself; or in this case, I have nothing better to […]

Badwater Dawn – Death Valley

Winter sunrise over Badwater basin and Panamint mountains, Death Valley national park, California. This light lasted 3 minutes before the color faded into a washed out and overcast day.  At 6am I counted 19 other photographers within sight.  Quite the popular place to be on that morning.  The next morning however, I only saw 3 […]

Alabama Hills – California

Mobius arch, Alabama Hills, Owen’s Valley, California I think one of the coolest things about the Alabama Hills is that no matter how many times one has been there, there is always something new to photograph.  Be it exploring some new area, different weather, or different time of year. The hills and mountains are always […]
