Joy in Denmark
My first time in Denmark, arrived after midnight last night, spent today in the woods… such a great day, up at 3am so time for bed. Had time to edit one image from today with the amazing Joy Draiki.

Tower Bay Cascades
When mother nature is being an uncooperative lighting assistant, hiding the sunrise behind a bank of clouds, an alternate plan is needed to avoid returning home hungry and empty handed. This morning I settled for the breaking waves of the incoming tide crashing over the rocks in an endless variety of cascading flows. See the…

Storm Barbara
The thoughts of facing an ocean of fresh to storm force winds and torrential rain did not appeal, but the anticipation of a clearing storm and dramatic shoreline taking a pounding did… Since I took time off before Christmas I had enough free time to hatch a plan (the night before).

Revisiting Yosemite
I first visited Yosemite Valley in 1989 without any prior knowledge of the area or its splendor. Since then I have been lucky enough to revisit the area four times during working trips to the US. My favourite approach is from highway 120 as it descends from 6000 feet to the valley floor at 4000…

Portrane beach
It’s amazing how often I drive straight past Portrane beach on my way to Tower Bay and ignore it’s potential for seascape images. Tonight I did just the same, but realised it was probably my best bet given the sea state and weather, and the fact that tower bay was crowded due to the unexpected…
