Europe - Finland - Suomi - North of the Arctic Circle - Finnish Lapland - Lappland - Lapponia under fresh cover of snow during winter time - Aurora borealis - Northern light - Produced by solar wind particles guided by Earth's field lines to the top of the atmosphere
No single Northern Lights photo does true justice to what is happening on the sky during those unique moments when Northern Lights appear. After incredible experience of capturing my first ever timelapse in Iceland last year, I've headed to Frozen land of Arctic Lapland to capture Northern Lights under snowy landscape, which is often difficult to find along the coast. Average temperatures around - 25C dont make it particularly friendly experience, but the one which will always be treasured.

Europe - Scandinavia - Norway - North of the Arctic Circle - Lofoten Island - Moskenes - Hamnoy - Hamnøy - Picturesque fishing village under fresh cover of snow during pink sunset
Guilty as charged - one of the most photographed locations on Lofoten, but I simply could not help myself, because if there is A place to stay in Lofoten, it surely must be these cabins which might look like those traditional fisherman cabins from outside... but they are no longer anything like that inside. Wonderful interior, very different from when we stayed there 10 years ago.
Timelapse movies had become my new way of capturing my travels besides regular photography. Check out how beautiful Scandinavia can be :

Buachaille Etive Mòr (Scottish Gaelic: Buachaille Eite Mòr, meaning "the great herdsman of Etive"), generally known to climbers simply as The Buachaille or The Beuckle, is a mountain at the head of Glen Etive in the Highlands of Scotland. Its almost perfect pyramidal form, as seen from the A82 road when travelling towards Glen Coe, makes it one of the most recognisable mountains in Scotland, and one of the most depicted on postcards and calendars. Buachaille Etive Mòr takes the form of a ridge nearly five miles (8 km) in length, almost entirely encircled by the River Etive and its tributaries. The ridge contains four principal tops: from north-east to south-west these are Stob Dearg (1022 m), Stob na Doire (1011 m), Stob Coire Altruim (941 m) and Stob na Bròige (956 m). Stob Dearg and Stob na Bròige are both Munros; the latter was promoted to Munro status by the Scottish Mountaineering Club in 1997.
The steep, craggy north-eastern face of Stob Dearg forms the classic aspect of the mountain as seen from the Kings House Hotel, and constitutes the most direct route of ascent for climbers and scramblers. Buachaille Etive Mòr is separated from its sister mountain of Buachaille Etive Beag to the west by the valley of Lairig Gartain. To the east lies Glen Etive, which provides an alternative route of ascent, heading up steep grassy slopes to the summit of Stob na Bròige.

That is the feeling of this place when I arrived was still enough minutes for the sunrise, the whole scene was flooded with a purple light that is typical in some times just before a new day begins.
This cove is known as Cala Cocedores, because in the last century they cooked the esparto that was used in tasks of the sea.
I choose this selfportrait view, to give size to the scene, caught in the calm of that dawn haze.
The silence was absolute, and I entered the water with the wader, I tried to get through the long exposure to make the image as mysterious as possible.
For this I used a Formatt Hitech Firecrest filter system. Combining a four step Firecrest ND filter and a three step degraded Firecrest ND filter.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Friday. :)

spotted this and quickly grabbed a shot trying to look nonchalant as the owner was in the yard. I am sure this homemade structure is rather unassuming during the day, but then the magic light appears and Bam! there's the money shot :)
seen in Bayview Washington, such a sleepy little hamlet, and discovered quite serendipitously.
Once again, beautiful September light. I like the simple, elegant style that you often see in Italian cities. When I developed the photo, I initially found it very chaotic. But if you look at it a little longer, the depth becomes apparent.

Isle of Skye - The Quirang is a fascinating rock formation on the Trotternish peninsula on Skye. It is approximately two miles north west of Staffin and six miles south east of Rubha Hunish. The Quiraing is a spectacular landslip on the eastern face of Meall na Suiramach, the northernmost summit of the Trotternish Ridge on the Isle of Skye. The whole of the Trotternish Ridge escarpment was formed by a great series of landslips; the Quiraing is the only part of the slip still moving, the road at its base near Flodigarry requires repairs each year.
The Trotternish Ridge lies on Skye's northernmost peninsula known as Trotternish. The northernmost summit on this ridge is known as the Quirang which has a fantastic maze of pinnacles, cliffs and flat grass tables that were formed by an ancient landslide of biblical proportions. From below these cliffs look huge, upon closer inspection you find many intricacies - scree slopes provide entrances to reveal an intricate maze of deep chasms and huge rock walls.

The Salton Sea's Sunken City is just simply astonishing. I obviously enjoy alliteration.
I hope this makes all of you as cozy as I feel right now, as I lumber off to bed at this ridiculous hour. I will be giving a talk at barcamp today entitled 'Seeking America', addressing all the phototrekking I have been doing, and largely just sharing my work as well as stories from my travels. Also, trying to encourage others to spend more time exploring more of their country, and finding magic in the seemingly mundane, or unexpected. I'm nervous. I hope I get a decent attendance.
Today I share this photograph made last Sunday in the "Marjal dels Moros", a location to which since last December I am coming very much, since I had never seen it with water in all the years that I have been visiting it.
It was a sunset with timid colors but with a lot of wind that moved the clouds, it even rained just minutes after this shot.
I resisted hunting this area with spectacular lights, I hope to have time before it empties more, to be able to immortalize it as it deserves ...
On the technical side, say that I only used a neutral gradient three steps filter combined with a four steps ND filter.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Tuesday. :)

We've passed this old grocery store on Main Street many times but I've never managed a decent zoom-zoom shot, finally succeeded last week, I got some great early evening light. So I researched this place on the net, I had noticed the worn moving sale sign in the window, thought it might be for sale, it isn't. but I found out it is a 95 year old building and has been a business for 35ish years, and is assessed at $689,700 but I'm sure they would get more for it in today's hot market.

Middle East - GCC - Qatar - Doha - الدوحة - ad-Dawḥa - ad-Dōḥa - Doha Corniche & New and Modern Skyline with Sky High Skyscrapers along sea shore
This might be a sight that you'd expect in some tropical place during rainy season, but definitely not in Middle East. During that few hours of rain, there fell more rain than in entire year !! and you could tell, many streets completely flooded, many places turned into temporary lakes, where it was more convenient to have a boat not a car ;))
This was meant to be a lovely sunrise shot, but I am glad I captured something so rare instead ;)

Europe - UK - England - Cornwall - North Cornwall - Trebarwith Strand - Trebervedh Sian - The Strand - Vast cliffs, dark caves, fine golden sand and Gull rock, almost reminiscent of a dogs head emerging from Atlantic Ocean during moody evening
This shot is such a nice example that photos can be captured in whatever conditions. It was dark, cold, windy (luckily from opposite direction than the sea), rainy evening... If it was not for the meeting of old friend Adam Burton, that I wanted to see for some time, I would have stayed in my Camelot Castle Hotel, wondering its halls and sitting around the round table pretending to be King Arthur (or least his queen ;)) But because I had extra reason to go out, I went and had a great time with my friend while also taking some photos I'm happy with. Not your typical colorful sunset, but moody seascape shot that I like ;)

Middle East - Turkey - Türkiye - Mediterranean coast of southwestern Turkey - Antalya Province - Alanya - Alaiye - Beach resort city located on the Turkish Riviera below the Taurus Mountains - Historical town center & harbor with Lighthouse at Sunset - Dusk - Twilight - Night
Latest development in Turkey is not the most cheerful one. It is a country where I've been on many occasions, always having wonderful time while exploring this fascinating melting pot of cultures. I do hope there will be many more visits in the future, once the situation calms down and resolves in the best possible way. Lighthouse is a symbol of hope for many, as it always was a guiding light to safety of a harbour or as a warning sign on dangerous coast. May this photo of a lighthouse be symbol of the guiding light into safety from the stormy times that Turkey is experiencing now.

Middle East - GCC - United Arab Emirates - UAE - Dubai - Dubai Marina - Artificial canal city with sky high modern buildings along the sea shore
Dubai is a city with rather interesting layout. It currently has the highest building in the world - the Burj Khalifa and several high sky buildings around it, then about 25km of "nothing" in form of one or two stories small houses along the coast and then comes this brand new high sky area of marina with mainly residental buildings. It is not the easiest area to photograph as you are always too close to too high buildings, the only time when you can capture this place properly is from the top of one of the highest buildings, which is extremely difficult to get access to, especially now after several serious fires in some buildings, including the famous luxury hotel "The Address" that caught serious fire on the New Year's evening. Luckily no fire went on the day I was up at this amazing view, just lovely last rays of light falling on top of those buildings before sunset.

Europe - UK - United Kingdom - Scotland - St Monans - Village in the East Neuk of Fife named after the legendary Saint Monan - Situated approximately 3 miles west of Anstruther, this small community, whose inhabitants formerly made their living mainly from fishing, is now a tourist destination situated on the Fife Coastal Path - Breakwater can be found at end of the harbour captured at high tide
As is usual in Scotland, we had our share of really bad weather with lots of rain and gale strong wind, however this particular night was the opposite - clear blue sky, and not a single movement on the sea... I would have wished for bit more dramatic conditions here but I guess we cant always have it all ;) At least the tide was at its highest during sunset, which is a must for this shot. Unfortunately it was mid way between the New Moon and Full Moon meaning that high tide is at its lowest. If you wanna shoot at this location, you need high tide at its highest, that would add another 1m of water which would completely hide the concrete at the bottom.

It is being said that a picture is worth a thousand words and it is very true statement, however what if you put thousands of pictures together ? Here are two videos that I put together from several weeks in Iceland, those sleepless nights spent in freezing temperatures in unique Icelandic landscape were surely worth it.
Timelapse movies had become my new way of capturing my travels besides regular photography. Check out these latest one :
► POLAR NIGHT WITH NORTHERN LIGHT & MOON ECLIPSE IN ARCTIC NORWAY
or
► NORTHERN LIGHTS BEYOND ARCTIC CIRCLE, SWEDEN
► ARCTIC NIGHT & NORTHERN LIGHTS OVER FROZEN SWEDEN
I had the incredible luck to experience once in a life time Northern lights show created by huge Solar storm which brought unseen colors ranging from the usual green, yellow to red, purple or even blue, to the sky all over Nordic countries and even all the way to the south of UK. Add several other lucky nights with smaller or large Aurora Borealis appearance in unique landscape of Iceland and the result is relatively lot of footage for my first ever time-lapse video.

I was not planning to post this shot these days, but I re-visited this location yesterday for higher resolution photos with the 5DS, only to find out that those small trees are now rather large, completely blocking the view. Trees dont come easy and cheap in GCC, so I dont think they'll go away anytime soon.
Let this be reminder to all of us, that what we think we can capture anytime, might not be possible be one day, as this shot today.

Middle East - GCC - United Arab Emirates - UAE - Abu Dhabi - Brand new modern skyline with sky high skyscrapers along the corniche at Dusk - Twilight - Blue Hour - Night
Abu Dhabi might be less popular brother of its more visited Dubai, however I somehow prefer this city, probably because of kilometers long corniche and the feeling you get being by the sea. Dubai might be very long and and relatively narrow city along the sea as well, but with only few exceptions, you dont have the chance to freely hang out along the shores of the sea as you do in Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi might have less sky high buildings that Dubai so popular for these days, but it surely have few of new funky skyscrapers like these as well. Plus it has one the most beautiful mosques I've ever visited (and I have visited a lot of them around the world!) - Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.

A small departure from my usual style. Discovering freely wondering flamingos at Ras Al Khaimah bay was a real joy, those are the times, when I'm thankful for always carrying the big and heavy 100-400mm lens, unfortunately even 400mm didnt give me the detail I needed. Thanks to the new 50mgpx sensor of 5DS, I could still easily crop in and get 20mgpx crop with lot of nice detail. That kind of approach gave me probably the biggest sun at any photo I've ever posted (as all my shots are all single exposure only and I dont add fake Sun/Moon/Milky-way to my work). I only wish the flamingo was within the sun itself, but then it would had to be very different circumstances. I have returned to this place multiple times to get various shots, which I might share in due time.

Fourth picture of this series, some Fridays ago in this location, this time a horizontal view just at golden hour.
First lights of the day, which I already wanted to catch this perspective view caring for the composition, giving a lot of attention at the dynamic waves at the foreground guiding the look towards the walkway and the sunrise at the left of the scene.
On the technical side, say that I used the combination of a ND four steps filter and a soft gradient ND three steps filter.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Tuesday. :)

Middle East - GCC - United Arab Emirates - UAE - Dubai - Dubai Water Canal - Dubai Creek - Artificial canal with bridges leading to modern sky high buildings with Burj Khalifa
This relatively new location of canal in Dubai is certainly very popular with photographers that already took photos all around Dubai.
Timelapse movies had become my new way of capturing my travels besides regular photography. Dubai is a very dynamic city, perfect for timelapse. See for yourself at :

Europe - UK - England - Cornwall - Land's End - Penn an Wlas - Pedn an Wlas - Mainland Britain's most westerly point and one of the country's most famous landmarks, with 200 foot high granite cliffs that rise out of the Atlantic Ocean
I've been to Land's End during 3 separate trips, every single of them was during cloudless lovely sunny day. At this particular place I was hoping for moody, dramatic weather that would enhance the name of the place - The land's end. Place where the land ends. Not that I complain about the wonderfully sunny weather that Cornwall provided me during those trips, but clear sky is always less fun to capture that fast moving or heavy stormy clouds.
UK is blessed with such spectacular coastline, Cornwall is an amazing place to explore, but if you are curious to see how Dorset or Scotland looks in motion, check :
