Au petit matin avec une cliente venue pour voir et photographier la grande faune sauvage. Les sorties que je propose sont sur :
Searching for compositions in the dark, I came across this natural pathway leading toward the rising milky way.
I've opened up dates in March for photographing scenes like this for anyone interested in leveling up their night photography in one of the most beautiful desert landscapes and designated night sky parks, Death Valley.
A towel, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

A winding path leads to the famous lighthouse at Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada, as the setting sun cast golden rays across the sky.
Today, as Canadians head to the polls, may we find leadership that, like this lighthouse, stands firm and lights the way through uncertain seas.

Another old image reworked today - (15th Sep 2020) - and given the mono treatment ... Originally taken on 24th May 2013
Took this when the conditions were amazing in Sequoia on Christmas eve..fog covered grant grove with diffused sunlight in the evening..
Attempt at photographing Comet C/2024 G3 (Atlas) from Hillarys Boat Harbour in Perth, Western Australia. Not the best shot but uploading it as a record [Explored 31 January 2025].
Here is the second image from Iceland, captured in a place you may not have heard of: Grjótagjá. This cave is one of the most challenging locations I’ve ever photographed a dog in.
While traversing the entire country, we paused in the northeast to explore beautiful locations like this geothermal lava cave, historically used for bathing due to its hot waters.
Entering was no easy feat; the areas where one could stand were very limited, with just two entrances providing opportunities for photography. Our model displayed remarkable courage, adapting beautifully to this unconventional environment.
Inside the cave, gusts of wind stirred, and the steam obscured my view of the subject in the distance. I’m grateful that Bosì could stay on the rock undisturbed for a few moments, allowing the wind to settle, enabling a clearer shot.
This bird is pointing at Facebook and several Biotech firms. Google, YouTube and NASA Research center are directly behind his tail.
At his right, on the other side of the blue water is the Tesla factory. Directly behind me are Palo Alto and Stanford University, and my house. Behind my house is the Xerox PARC where the MacIntosh, Ethernet, mouse and other toys were hatched. A few blocks away is the site of one of the first two nodes on Arpanet - we call it Internet now.
Still lost? It's sundown so go home!

Met up with Ed at Leesylvania State Park in Woodbridge, Virginia for a sunrise shoot not too long ago. No clouds but plenty of color. Was off my game somewhat, I'll be ready next time!

A striking low-angle view of a tactile paving strip designed for visually impaired pedestrians. The bold yellow bumps create a mesmerizing pattern leading into the distance, enhancing both safety and urban aesthetics. The dramatic perspective and rich contrast bring out the texture and depth, making this everyday accessibility feature a captivating visual journey.
If you have been following along on this exploration of Oman, you have heard me mention my guide numerous times. This is Faisal.
He is dressed in the typical attire that Omani men wear to work and he had a wardrobe that always amazed me. The interesting thing about our meeting is that I learned that he had seen more sights in America than I had. Strangely enough, I had seen more sights in the Arab world than he had.
I guess that my love affair with the Arab world started years ago when I did a road trip through Morocco. The streets are so vibrant with souks and so mysterious with huge doors and walls surrounding individual homes.
Despite the tensions that occur between nations, they are soon forgotten when individuals meet during their travels.This is especially true in Oman, a country that works very hard to stay neutral in the Islamic world.
If ever you decide to take a trip to this hospitable and lovely country, I am certain that you would love being with Faisal. His name is Faisal Al Kindi and you can contact him @ +96898777999 or by email: jetstang96@yahoo.com.

Last week was a marathon run where I saw the dark side of sunrise and sunset 7 of 8 days. In the middle of all that, I was conducting a private photo tour with Jeffrey Wu from Toronto, Ontario. Check out his stream for a few images of our time together. Going in, I fully expected to do a lot of teaching, but ultimately, I simply got to play tour guide. Over meals, we talked photography and I even got some sage advice that I hope to carry with me on my photographic journey. And it is a journey. As we go through this photographic life, there are signs along the way, obstacles we must overcome, and milestones to be reached if we just keep at it.
The Shot:
Headed to Davenport the other morning and took advantage of the overcast skies for some long exposures of the crack. Even ran into a couple from New Jersey who had driven cross country and ended up in Davenport. They helped inflate my ego a bit when they told me they were drawn to the area because of some of my images. That was cool. :)
The Gear:
Nikon D7000
Nikkor 12-24mm @ 12mm
71 sec, f11, ISO 160
Lee Big Stopper and .9 Soft GND filters
