This is the first time I visited Yosemite and thus obviously the first time I saw the famed Tunnel View vista. This is at sunrise, about 5:30 in the morning. The crowds were still thin, and many roads in the park had just been re-opened for the Spring/Summer. I have adjusted the RAW file for exposure and white balance in Photoshop and Light Room, with additional minor tweaks in Exposure X2. Lightroom, Photoshop, Exposure X2. Sony a7rii, Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 lens.

Inspired by years of InterfaceLIFT browsing, I sculpted these mountains in Blender and composited in Adobe Photoshop CS6.

My first trip to Yosemite, and there was a wildfire in the national park. The sun set through the smoke, illuminating Half Dome with this fiery orange glow. Adobe Lightroom CC.

Red and green aurora, Milky Way, and a passing meteor in a single composition. Taken Memorial Day weekend at Glacier National Park before Going To The Sun Road was even open. We drove the long way around in the middle of the night from Apgar to the east St. Mary entrance just to catch the Milky Way on St. Mary Lake. We were incredibly fortunate that evening. Lightroom 6.10, Slik Mini II, Vello ShutterBoss II.

This is a shot of famous baths Maria de Padilla in Seville, Spain. The baths are located in the magnificent Real Alcazar, one of the most beautiful places in Spain and a good example of typical mudéjar architecture found in southwest Europe. Processed in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom.

Shot at sunset in Pafos, Cyprus, looking at the EDRO III shipwreck - resting mere meters away from the shore. The Sierra Leone-flagged EDRO III ran aground off Pegeia on 8 December 2011 in heavy seas, during a voyage to Rhodes, from Limassol, Cyprus with a cargo of plasterboard. At the time of the accident, the ship had nine crew members - seven Albanians and two Egyptians. The crew were rescued and airlifted to the safety of Paphos by a local British Military helicopter. The EDRO III weighs…

Revisiting my photo collection of 2014, now on retina display, brings an other dimension to the shots taken in Antelope Canyon (lower), Arizona. I know IFL has a few of these shots, including some of mine, but who can say they are tired to look at them? It's a unique place with infinite perspective and shapes. Adobe Lightroom CC.

Mount Hutton, New Zealand. I was fortunate enough to capture this amazing light whilst leading our most recent Photo Tour in New Zealand. The majestic Mount Hutton is reflected in this secret lake within the Canterbury region of the South Island Camera: Phase One IQ3 100MP XF Lens: Schneider Kreuznach 80mm LS f/2.8 RRS Tripod, Singh Ray 4 Stop ND Grad, Singh Ray Polariser

I almost didn't shoot at all. I didn't have solar filters, and didn't want to risk missing anything, but I decided to pop off a couple shots during totality while viewing the eclipse from a friend's property in Madras, Oregon. It was one of the most amazing two minutes of my life. An experience I will hold close forever. Shot with a Sony A7rii and a Canon 70-200mm f4 IS.

One of my favorite places in the US (Yosemite). When in the valley you can almost get a 360 view of the entire park. Believe it or not this shot was taken from the heart of the valley. Spectacular views without much effort.

Lake Ohau is a glacial lake in the Mackenzie Basin of New Zealand's South Island. When I arrived at the lake, the last beams of sunlight shed across the mountain range and I had only minutes to take these photos. The strong winds in this area didn't really help. Would you like to see other New Zealand photos? Adobe Photoshop CS, Lightroom CS and waterproof shoes.

I took this shot late on a cold winters afternoon at Lake Tekapo New Zealand. The last of the sunlight was lighting up the side of the church. Adobe Lightroom 4.

Although I absolutely love my trusty Canon 17-40mm f4L lens, I finally decided to upgrade to a 16-35mm f4L. What better way to test it than a weekend at the coast with the family! This is hands down one of the best sunsets I've seen at the Oregon Coast. Shot with a Sony A7R, and of course a Canon 16-35mm f4L IS. Also using a Manfrotto Tripod and a fotodiox lens adapter. Adobe Lightroom CC, Adobe Photoshop CC.

The last rays of the day over the Glencoe Lochan, Scottish Highlands, during a warm evening of July 2014. Thanks to K.G. for knowledge and inspiration. The midges ate me. Adobe Lightroom.
