All the Lines

It can be easy to focus on what is in front of you in the hustle and bustle. Cities like Hong Kong are all about building towards the sky, and make it fun to take a minute to look up to really appreciate the architecture.

Hong Kong Across the Harbor

Hong Kong is fantastic. You have to make time to eat all the delicious food as well as take in the many beautiful views of the city!

Happy New Year!

This epic sunrise is a great way to kick off a happy new year! It was a cold morning to be out at Emerald Bay but the effort paid off big time with this colorful sunrise! Here’s to all of our efforts bringing great rewards in the year ahead!

Happy New Year!


Sundown at Donner Lake

Donner Lake, or as I like to call it Lake Tahoe’s more manageable little brother, is less crowded than Tahoe but can be just as scenic. The sun quickly pops over the mountains here before going out of sight. Fortunately for me I got some nice light through the clouds before the cold dark night really set in.

Manhattan Sunset

My original plan was to go to the top of Rockefeller Center to catch the sunset. Then it started raining, and then it started pouring. I was sure sunset was not going to happen. When the storm cleared right before sunset we were with our gracious hosts on Roosevelt Island and rushed to the roof. The sunset was super bright, and the leftover storm clouds were dramatic. Since it was just a few days past Manhattanhenge, where the direction of the sunset lines up with the corridors of the city, I was able to get the sun between two buildings right before it disappeared. Sometimes missed plans work out after all.

Star Trails

I spent a long, cold hour and 38 minutes by Donner Lake in April to get this shot. The process consisted of continuously taking photos and later combining them to show the the stars moving across the night sky. I also missed five and a half minutes when my camera stopped, creating what looks like a break in the trails. At first I didn’t like this, but the effect is growing on me. Multiple trains passing through gave the foreground an added bonus of a streak of light through the mountain. I’m happy with this first attempt and excited to try it again!

Milwaukee Winter

Getting ready for my annual trip to the Midwest reminded me I had shots from last year to share. I hope that I’m ready for the cold!

Abstraction…

There is only one good thing about hot smoggy days in California — the sunsets are even better! I’ve been wanting to photograph this spot for awhile. Can you guess what it is? The observant viewer can click on the image for a map if you need a clue.


…And Another

In only a few minutes the light really changed. This photo was taken in the same spot as the previous image at a slightly different time and angle.


Underwater Garden

This shot reminded me of a garden, although it is like nothing you would see above sea level. I captured this in Cozumel. The combination of soft corals with the light reflecting off the surface made this trip very memorable.
