- Bonsai Rock, Lake Tahoe
Polarizing filters often add drama to photos of sky and water - especially at elevation. ('Bonsai Rock' is near the center of the photo.) (September 30, 2016. Nikon D7200, 1/50s @ f/7.1, 22 mm, ISO 100.) http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/bonsai-rock-lake-tahoe - Panther Beach
Yet another 'Golden Hour' photo - this time of a sunlit wave breaking on northern California's Panther Beach. (September 25, 2016. Nikon D7200, 1/1000s @ f/4.5, 24 mm, ISO 220.) - Corona Arch
The Moab, Utah area is famous for sandstone arches. After a short hike, I caught this view of Corona Arch, illuminated by the late-afternoon sun. (August 27, 2016. Nikon D7200, 1/125s @ f/7.1, 24 mm, ISO 100.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corona_Arch - 'Trail 401'
In August I had the pleasure of finally riding one of the US's most famous mountain biking trails - the '401 Trail' near the alpine resort of Crested Butte, Colorado. (August 25, 2016. Nikon D7200, 1/100s @ f/8, 19 mm, ISO 100.) https://travelcrestedbutte.com/crested-butte-mountain-biking-401/ - Kuressaare Castle, Estonia
In July I visited the three former Soviet 'Baltic States' - Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania. I caught this view of Kuressaare Castle - on Estonia's Saaremaa Island - close to sunset. (July 25, 2016. Nikon D5000, 1/250s @ f/9, 32 mm, ISO 200.) - Rothenburg ob der Tauber
The picturesque tourist town of 'Rothenburg ob der Tauber' in Germany is normally swarming with tourists. By getting up at 7am, however, I was able to catch this scene without any tourists spoiling the view. (July 16, 2016. Nikon D5000, HDR-processed from a 3-shot bracketed exposure @ f/6.3, 16 mm, ISO 200.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rothenburg_ob_der_Tauber - Curious Coyote
Technically this is not the greatest photo (I was without my telephoto lens, and so had to heavily crop the image), but I was amused by the expression of this coyote staring at me as I hiked through the 'Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge' in a remote region of southern Oregon. (May 23, 2016. Nikon D5000, 1/320s @ f/6.3, 85 mm, ISO 200.) - Camouflaged
In the backcountry of California's Henry Coe State Park, I caught this remarkably camouflaged Coast Horned Lizard. (April 30, 2016. Nikon D5000, 1/640s @ f/9, 85 mm, ISO 200.) - On Waiheke Island, Auckland
- Hoiho (Yellow-Eyed Penguin)
- Reflected Barge
Driving through the San Francisco Delta close to sunset, I caught this rusting barge, illuminated by the late afternoon sun. (February 13, 2016. Nikon D5000, 1/640s @ f/5.3, 62 mm, ISO 200.) - Pateke (Brown Teal)
- Kakariki
