Maui Twin Falls isn’t the most glamorous waterfall, or the tallest, or the most beautiful. It is easily accessible and a favorite swimming hole for those who live on the north coast of Maui; or so I was told. For that reason it was a perfect stop when I had a day to kill in Maui. The trees on the …
McWay Falls Coast
McWay Falls Coast, in the summer, under heavy fog. Sigh. I was hoping for a clear sky to see McWay Falls with some stars. I do try to plan photography trips around a colorful sunset or clear sky or any kind of good weather really. In my opinion the trick to getting good photos; especially when traveling, is to not …
Probolinggo Indonesia
Probolinggo Indonesia. It’s not exactly a destination travel location. It’s not even the most exciting stop in East Java Indonesia. But this is what I’m looking for when I go out seeking photos and travel experiences. My driver stopped to get some lunch for himself and I took off down this path into the jungle. These villages can be found …
Hiilawe Falls in Waipio Valley
Hi’ilawe Falls is at the back of Waipio Valley, accessible by either an easy or difficult hike depending on the recent weather. Some days it’s unreachable altogether if the stream is too high and dangerous. The day we went was a beautiful sunny day, but the past two days had been rainy so we didn’t know what to expect. The …
Savannah Georgia Oak Tree Covered Lane
I was in Savannah Georgia for a quick trip and drove out past the city looking for some countryside. There’s quite a lot of that in the US that’s worth photographing by the way. Not that I think anybody would disagree with that. I just get a lot more love for the international photos than I do for anything from …
Ha Long Bay at Sunset
To wrap up this trip through Ha Long Bay, our boat docked at an island with a beach for everyone to do their tourist thing on an exotic beach. I’m not one for sitting on the beach so I took a quick hike to the top of the nearest vantage point for a higher look at the bay. The sunset …
Landscape of Ha Long Bay
Ha Long Bay Vietnam is a beautiful place. I booked a cruise at my hotel in Hanoi and hopped on a bus to Hai Phong not knowing what to expect. We left the bay in mid day sun and I was immediately on deck taking photos. Usually mid day pictures are too harsh for my liking, but a nice black and white …
Solitary Sunset
I spent about 30 minutes taking photos of a herd of Bighorn Sheep in the Badlands during sunset and was about to pack up for the night when a lone sheep broke from the herd and settled on this ridge all alone. There were maybe 20 people out on the road taking photos, and the herd of sheep stayed right …
McWay Falls Trail at Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park
The McWay Falls Trail in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park along Pacific Coast Highway 1 is pretty short but still difficult to navigate in the dark, and in the fog. I went late one evening hoping to get some sunset photos. Clouds rolled in and the fog was too thick to see anything. So I came back after dark because …
