"The crawling mist overwhelmed this valley during our visit, making it
even more “magic”. This is, I guess, the moment I personally liked the
most during our stay.

It may be some more surrealistic image in its slightly experimental
processing, but it is linked in some way to the visions that haunt my
spirit. The ochre transitions through the softness of the mist… And
the oppressive side of the mountains that were surrounding us… The
sun remained quite nebulous behind a thin cloud veil (which I normally
hate), but the mist changed everything. A thousand ideas came into my
mind when it arrived; we were all running a bit everywhere, I also got
bogged down once more in a bunch of bushes that were too big, I
couldn’t get out and yet I had to hurry.

Then there was that man, more or less out of nowhere, with only his
stick and jean shirt… A thin silhouette fitting pretty well to the
mood, I would have liked to use him more but I didn’t dare disturbing
him… Besides the mist was leaving quickly, it was… really a particular
moment, and rare… out of time.

Cheers!

Photographed early morning at Sloan’s Lake in Denver, Colorado. There was something about this scene, absolutely stillness in a before dawn glow as the moon was setting over the front range foothills. It was so quiet I could have heard a pin drop and I loved every minute of it! I wanted a composition which showed part of the pier which I felt worked well in breaking up the lines within the scene. I hope you all like it as much as I do!

Happy New Years to everyone! This shot was taken early morning a few weeks ago...the miracle of Yosemite's beauty shined through even though the sun didn't make its way out. I love this place.

I can't believe 2012 is over! i loved last year... it was filled with many special memories, a few challenges to help me grow and laughter throughout it all. i hope in 2013 i make more opportunities for photography because it was a joy to be in Yosemite with my camera even in the Rain! Thank you everyone for looking and I hope all had a wonderful holiday season! Cheers to 2013! : )

Isle of Skye, UK
Autumn 2012

With the aim of shooting some Scottish Landscapes in dynamic weather I started my trip to Great Britain in mid-November and traveled for about 5 weeks trough the country. My journey took me from the south coast of England via Northumberland to Scotland. In Scotland I traveled from the Isle of Skye to Caithness, Torridon and Assynt. As expected the weather conditions were very contrary (snow, sun, storm, rain). The exposed position at the Atlantic Ocean is responsible for the unpredictable weather in western Scotland. Often it’s possible to experience several seasons within one day. Although it often wasn’t very easy to keep my camera dry, I was rewarded with a variety of spectacular sunrises and sunsets.

In the second part of my UK-series 2013, I present the images of the Isle of Skye. The fascinating hills and the impressive coastline are typical for the Scottish landscape. The weather was as expected at the end of November – very rough. During my ten-day stay there was no day without rain and storm. But in the rare minutes when the sun showed the landscape turned into a fairy tale world and I was spectacular rewarded for the long rainy waiting times. I'll upload them here on DA during the next days. English descriptions and more shoots will follow soon!

Some weeks ago I went skiing there with some friends, and the weather was awesome. Too bad the snow was shit, because in April it's too hot and it melts too much.

We grew tired very fast and so after lunch we took a break I used to take some pictures.

This is from my recent trip to the remote sandstone world otherwise known as "white pocket". This is one of the most remarkable landscapes I've ever stepped foot on, and from the moment I stepped out of the truck, it was non stop photography. Within the length of a full day, I snapped my shutter well over 300 times. Normally, I will shoot that many in 3-5 days. It was cloudy and rainy as we arrived, "perfect", I thought in my head. These were the exact conditions I wanted for this trip. For such a unique landscape, I wanted to have dramatic skies to go along with it. After shredding my boots into oblivion from running across the hard stone, it was time to rest. A few hours of sleep (2-3), and I was awake in the dark of night ready for more shooting. Myself and one of the other photographers I was with decided to venture out into the sandstone to catch the milky way over the martian landscape. All that was missing was my spaceman suit. It was so quiet, the quietest place I've ever been for sure. After shooting the stars until they disappeared, we ventured around shooting the various formations under some fortuitous light. By then, it was nearly 6:30am. The two photographers I was with had been here before, and informed me they were going to shoot this area called the "vortex". With a name like that, I figured I would go with them. After climbing up and over some brainrock formation we came to this spot, the one you see in the image above. It was like nothing I've seen before. The twisting and turning and converging sandstone was just pure bliss for the camera. We spent a good hour or so photographing this spot. The area almost consumed three cameras and lenses along with a photographer (not me), so getting the shots we wanted were actually quite risky. You see, this is sandstone, which is solidified sand. However, there is always this thin layer of fine slippery sand over the red rocks that can cause one some damage. I slid down the steep sandstone slot to a point where I knew I would be able to make it back up without slipping into the unknown abyss below. Finally getting a composition I desired, I got out of there as quickly as possible to avoid any more camera catastrophes. I am definitely dying to get back here now that I had a taste of the landscape. For some sense of scale, that little sand patch in the center could probably hold 3-4 people standing up with a little room to spare.

In early December winter comes to northern Scotland. Ice covered the countless lakes and the frequently showers turn into snowfall. In the last part of my UK series I show the shots from Wester Ross. The photos were taken during several hikes in the spectacular mountainous regions An Teallach and Torridon. I'll upload them here on DA during the next days. English descriptions and more shoots will follow soon!

The sun set behind me as the full moon rose ahead. The color played off the clouds and surrounding snow-capped mountains to infuse the water with bronzes and pinks. I hope to have done the scene justice this time.

This shot was last minute on our way to Badwater in Death Valley. We were greeted by an epic sunset of a storm moving in over us. Earlier in the day we had been exploring some abandoned mines outside of the park when sunset time came around. This is taken of the southern Panamint Range south of Badwater in Death Valley.

What you're seeing is a sandstorm in the valley. The sand being blown upward is creating the multi-colored effect on the mountains (it's no HDR) and creates interesting luminosity around the ridge. Enjoy!

One of the best Milky Way I've ever seen I think.

Phu Tubberk is a very popular spot in Winter. It offers a very scenic view of mountain range and nearby towns. I took this photo around 5:30am. I really like the light trails on the ground, both on the road leading to the mountain top and the highway (the farther one).

My other deviations:

Fall colors can be so dramatic with a storm coming....

Every December is the prime time for sunflower trips in Thailand. There are many farms that tourists typically go. But in my opinion, sunflower farm at Jeen Lae mountain, Lopburi is the best. Not only the farm is so enormous that you are surrounded by uncountable number of sunflowers, but the mountain behind also boosts the beauty of sunflowers.

It was my intention to snap a picture of sunflowers at night. Unknown to me, the light pollution in Lopburi is not much better than in Bangkok. So I had to pick the set at dusk instead.

This photo is actually a panorama. It was the first time I tried to use a macro rail to adjust the nodal point of my camera. It seems to work rather well
