Instead of getting some photographs of trees and rocks, I happened to head toward the Wall Street Mill, and stumbled upon this abandoned, rusty car on the way there…This was in the middle of the afternoon, and the sun was bright and hot, did not see anything else that was photogenic, so this was a god send… Took 5 bracketed shots, contemplated on what would be nice to get from these shots, I tried different options during post processing, in...
Planned to go to Utah to visit Escalante National Park, however, the weather did not cooperate, so we went to Joshua Tree NP instead for one day get away. Did not expect to hear that snow was still on the mountain tops, from the park ranger, which basically astounded me! I did not think that there would be snow at this place! Here we go…just look at this picture.
If you want to go to the Upper Antelope Valley, you’d need to book ahead of time before getting there. Make sure that you book the photography tour, which costs more, I think $50 per person, however, the tour guide will make sure that they stop the bunch of other tourists who walk all over the places in there, and without the tour guide, you’d have to include tourists in your shots. I don’t think you want that. The tour usually...
Just happened to capture this light/dark contrasting shot of this rice field after a light rain, after having breakfast at Chau Long Hotel. If you go to Sapa, stay at Chau Long, you’d be able to have more photographic opportunities due to their location, which is right in the middle of Sapa downtown and also at a higher elevation than other hotels. I stayed at Victoria hotel, the best there however, the location is a about 10-15 minute walk to...
HALEAKALA CRATER is one of the most famous sightseeing place in Maui. This picture was also one of the most difficult one that I took due to the lighting, the amount of tourists, photographers who flooded the rail along the crater to take pictures. I stayed in Lahaina area at the west shore of Maui. I left the hotel at 3 am, drove about 2 hours and got there at 5 am, luckily, the small parking lot there was just almost full. As you can see...
This one is the best arches in the area of Moab. Other arches in Arches National Park are also very nice and different, but this is my favorite one. It actually resides in Canyon Land National Park. If you stay at Moab, it will take you about 1 hour to get to this place. To be able to take picture similar to this one, you’d have to leave your place at Moab at least 1.5 hours before sunrise. Once inside the park, the roads were dark...

Some of my pictures might take a little long to load because I try to display my pictures as large and as best as I can, please be patient. Under gallery, there are different categories for different places that I’ve been. For each category, such as Yellowstone, there will be pictures related to that category. On each picture, you will see two options, the one on the left is to see the full size pictures, the right one is to read the post and leave some feedback or input. Thanks and enjoy.
