Deception Pass

Deception Pass is deep in Banff National Park, Alberta. Banff National Park is famous for its two popular lakes, Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. However, just opposite these tourist hotspots is a vast mountain region which is fairly unknown. Deception pass is 2485m high and offers dramatic high Rocky Mountain...

Crater Lake

Crater lake is a brilliantly unique location, with the island volcano providing an unmissable focal point for photos. It's not hard to find an amazing location to photograph along the crater rim, although I found the best angle to be from south western corner, close to the volcanic cone protruding...

Route 66 Auto Graveyard

Rather than go to a specific location for a typical landscape shoot, I set out to find photo opportunities with no set agenda. My thought was to travel west on I-40 and explore as much of Route 66 (which parallels it mostly) with my cameras as I could. One of...

Route 66 in New Mexico

These pictures were taken between 1:00 pm and 7:30 pm in July. New Mexico is given to sudden storms, high winds, and the hot sun. A heavy duty tripod is a must if you are taking landscapes. Unseasonably large volumes of rain this year have made the desert fairly green,...

If you're hiking, there are many trails for both novices and the experienced. And of course lots of opportunity to...

Mfuwe in South Luangwa National Park

While it is impossible to give the exact coordinates of where this picture was taken, the South Luangwa National park is home to these beautiful cats - as indeed it is to a huge variety of fauna and flora. This picture was taken in the month of March. The weather...

Damaraland

The Damaraland Camp in the Torro Conservancy is an absolutely outstanding camp as well as being the perfect base to photograph beautiful landscapes. For those who are interested in astrophotograpy, it offers inky black skies and rock formations that are perfect foregrounds. Sunrises and sunsets are stunning. And for those...

Wolvedans

We had to try astrophotography is this land of a zillion stars. And so we set up our tripods and remotes and walked away to have our dinner. All the while silently praying that a wandering herd of oryx would not trample over all our gear! About an hour later...

Dead Vlei

With a sprained ankle, I found it well worth the trek - carrying cameras, lenses and tripods. And Dead Vlei is a place of magic. Watching the sun rise from behind the dunes and the completely flat and deadly dull landscape suddenly erupt into brilliant rust dunes, blue sky, black...
