Mingus Mill

The Great Smoky Mountain National Park was the most visited national park in the United States in 2014.  One of the attractions amidst the 521,896 acres of the park is Mingus Mill.  The mill can be photographed any time of year, but fall is particularly nice.  Peak fall colors in...

Lorain West Breakwater Light

The Lorain Lighthouse is an iconic but unusual structure.  Rather than follow the typical cylindrical tower pattern of most lighthouses, Lorain's light was contained within a "beacon building."  Lorain West Breakwater Light is no longer a functioning lighthouse, but it is still an interesting photographic subject.  We were there in January...

The best time to get to Sugarloaf Mountain is probably summertime - around January/February. Regarding the daytime, I would personally go there only in the late afternoon, ideally approximately 1-2 hours before the sunset. This time allows you for reconnaissance of the spots from which you will take photos. (more…)

Hidden New Zealand North Island Beaches – Lonely Bay

And there are plenty of other options for an adventurous photographer. As this shot of Lonely...

Portland Head Light

This headlight is iconic of Maine and New-England. Since it is close to the sea, different seasons can bring different photographic opportunities. Under a storm you can create dramatic pictures, whereas under the sun it can be idyllic.

Erie Lake, British Columbia

This small lake is abundant with birdlife and other critters including the Western Painted Turtle, many Beaver, Otter and Muskrat. I have personally photographed over 80 bird species on this lake from my kayak. The lake is only 1 km in length and 400 m wide and usually very calm....
