2011 was a record snow year in California with a 200% Sierra Snow Pack compared to the average. This meant that when I backpacked to Round Top Lake in September 2011, it was still mid-summer in the high country. Snow was easily found on the northern slopes, creeks were flowing...

Reflection Pond, Denali National Park
In June 2013, I visited Denali National Park in Alaska and camped at Wonder Lake campground for 2 nights with couple of friends. We were there around summer solstice with 21 hours of daylight. The sunset happened at 12:30 am and sunrise was around 3:30 am. The golden hours were...
Ruby Lake / Creek and Mono Pass
I first discovered the Ruby Lake/Creek area during a day hike and realized that it will be best photographed at dawn when the peaks glow in morning light with Ruby Creek serving as a foreground. So, I decided to backpack here and camp overnight the next year. The idea was...
Tuolumne Meadows
The meadows are characterized by the meandering Tuolumne river and are much bigger in size than they look at a first glance. A photographer will benefit tremendously by spending a few hours exploring after parking the car at 1) Lambert Dome parking area or 2) Cathedral Lake trailhead. The former...
Ironton
Ironton consists of a few dilapidated buildings that once were the center of a town during the 19th century mining boom. You can get interesting photos of the insides through the windows, but it would be unsafe to try to enter. The largest building was the courthouse/school, and seems the...
Temecula By Hot-Air Balloon
I have only ever done one balloon ride. I will definitely do more, as the experience is amazing and the photographic opportunities are outstanding. (more…)
Cloud Gate
Enjoy a stunning spot – a 110-ton elliptical sculpture by British artist Anish Kapoor that is free and open to all in that most American of cities, Chicago. The location has everything from world-class architecture on three sides (arguably four sides) to people of all kinds, gathered around a great...
Bryce Canyon National Park
Bryce Canyon is a spectacular geological formation in southwestern Utah. It's at a very high elevation; some parts are over 9000 feet above sea level. Because of this elevation, Bryce is usually cool throughout the year; the average high temperature during the summer is around 83 degrees. In the winter...
Magnolia Park
Magnolia Park is one of the nicest parks in the Apopka area and that is next to Lake Apopka one of the biggest lakes here in Florida. The Park is surrounded by a lot of space to do activities with friends and family. It has pavilions and grills, there you...
Old Naples Pier Pilings
There's not much left of the Old Naples Pier, just a few rows of pilings which serve as a place for the birds to rest while feeding. Still, they make for a great foreground element. Naples beaches are very popular, and the sunsets always bring out a crowd so take...
