Kirkjufell and Kirkjufellfoss at Sunset, West Iceland. I camped out at the top of the falls for about 2 hours prior to sunset, a bit unsure if the clouds or angle of the sun would give me anything to work with. In Icelandic fashion, some high layered clouds started rolling in right as the sun set behind the mountains behind me, creating an incredible colorful and memorable sunset at the most beautiful place in Iceland. One of my favorite shots of all time, but then Iceland has the tendency to make it easy to take those.
Beautiful morning sunrise overlooking the Jefferson Memorial
A sunrise long exposure of the Richfield Pier as it extends out to Rincon Island just south of Santa Barbara, CA in Ventura County on Highway 101. A cloudless sky gave me little color to work with for sunrise, so I opted to use a more stark tone in editing.

The Aurora Borealis streaks vividly across the sky over Kirkjufellfoss on Iceland's stunning Snæfellsnes Peninsula on a crisp September night. The opportunity to see, and photography, the Aurora is an incredible and exhilarating feeling that leaves you in absolute awe at the forces of nature lighting up the sky above your head. Without question, this night was my top experience as a photographer and is my favorite photograph I've ever taken.

Great Falls Summer Sunset || Great Falls Park, VA
Twenty minutes after sunset at Great Falls Park on the Virginia side of the Potomac River. There were a handful of other photogs out on this evening, but they all left immediately after the sun went down (oops).
After a fantastic trip to Nova Scotia, I could barely wait to get home and process this beautiful image of sunset at Peggy's Cove, NS. Hardly a cloud was in the sky while the soft hues of sunset painted a textbook gradient from sky to ocean. The couple strolled into the shot at the last second and, arm-in-arm, set the perfect feeling for the shot.
A shot of Sunday's incredible sunrise from the bluffs above Lake Tahoe, CA and stunning Emerald Bay. Only 24 hours earlier a spring snowstorm was dusting the area with a beautiful white coat that quickly melted away.
Halfway to Heaven || Half Dome, Yosemite National Park, CA
A moonlit view of Half Dome and the Yosemite Valley from Glacier point in Yosemite National Park.

The crystal clear and dark skies offer some amazing views not often seen in California. The small dot of light on Half Dome is one of two climbrs camped out on the sheer face of the dome in a portaledge tent this May night.
