LA Mist

Daily Photo – LA MIST

While at my friend Tom’s place in the Hollywood Hills, we hiked a nearby trail overlooking the city. Zooming in on downtown LA, I captured this shot. Whether fog, cloud, smog, or a mix, it created a lucky and beautiful effect!

Evening Light and the Summer Palace

Daily Photo – Evening Light and the Summer Palace

I didn’t make it to the Summer Palace until my final evening in Beijing during this trip. That turned out nicely though as I was graced with a lovely, delicate sunset. This place is also called the “Gardens of Nurtured Harmony”, a very welcoming name.

Exploring the Sounds

Daily Photo – Exploring the Sounds

One of my favorite things to do in NZ has been to explore the various Sounds, in this case I think it was Milford Sound. Always epic.

Yellowstone Fog

Daily Photo – Yellowstone Fog

At one point when driving through Yellowstone, I randomly got out of the car and started walking right into the forest on the edge of the road. There was a thick fog, and the morning sun was low, creating an unexpected box of light. I kept walking and walking until I found this area. It just felt right for whatever reason, so I set up to create this in HDR.

Patagonian Colors

Daily Photo –

I always loved the colors in this area of Patagonia. And the chunky HDR too. Really captures the ruggedness of the area I think.
