  • Coastal Guardians
  • As a winter storm approached the coast, dramatic anvil clouds seemed to be forming in the distance. The dramatic coastal bluffs helped anchor the image. The scene was rendered in to B&W to lay emphasis on the dramatic cloud formation.
    Storm Clouds and Seaside Cliffs
  • Australia is a distant and fascinating place for photography as the landscapes are quite unlike any place else. In Tasmania’s remote eastern coastline, lichen paints the granite rocks with orange hues. However, once I got to the location, the entire area was covered in grey and gloomy clouds threatening to ruin the photographic opportunity. So when a gracious host offered me an evening cup of tea by his coastal home, I decided to take him up on his offer. However, much to my luck, the clouds started to part at precisely the same time as I started to sip my tea. Frantically, I had to excuse myself from my host and rush over to the beach to make this image. The dramatic light lasted just long enough to make this composition. Here, the pink hues of the sky seemed similar hues on the foreground.

  • The meandering Colorado river has created some of the most incredible landscapes - the Horseshoe Bend being one of them. Standing at the edge of a steep cliff at the Horseshoe Bend is a surreal experience, as one can hear the flow of the river 1000ft below. <br />
<br />
While the Horseshoe Bend is easily accessible via a mile long round trip hike, doing this repeatedly in the quest for the right conditions can be a frustrating experience! After a few failed attempts, I visited this place one last time before making the long journey home. Much to my good fortune, the clouds parted for just a few minutes before sunset. This lasted just long enough for the kiss of light to reach the top of Horseshoe Bend before the clouds closed in.

  • My photo trips to the Eastern Sierra often entail a stop at Mono Lake as I look to make photographs of the remarkable tufas that dot its southern shores. On this summer morning, a spattering of clouds over the lake made for opportunities of dramatic light.<br />
<br />
As the first light of day struck the lake shores, it appeared to spotlight the tufas and turn them into a castle of gold. The mirror-like lake surface acted as a perfect reflection pool for the clouds clearing in the distance.
    Golden Castle
  • I lived in Texas for the first few years of my life in the USA. During this time, I frequented California’s  Yosemite National Park and Big Sur coast. I was so enamored by these grand landscapes that I decided to move to California - with Camera, Lenses and Tripod in tow! I wanted to have unfettered access to these landscapes to make my own imprints photographing them. <br />
The 3 day road trip from Texas to California came with a minor detour to New Mexico’s White Sands National Park. As with all things photography, this image came with abundant luck and perseverance. I was completely sleep deprived after driving all night to make it to the park. Further, grey looming clouds threatened to put a dampener on any chance of photography. However, just before the light turned blue, the clouds parted and illuminated the desert. This was to be the first of many instances persevering for the right light to make my photographs.

  • Amongst the many reasons I love living in the San Francisco Bay Area is the easy access to a number of beautiful beaches! When I arrived at the beach in Santa Cruz, I was pleasantly surprised to see some low hanging clouds. As the sun went down the horizon, the clouds were set ablaze by the last light turning the beach into a riot of pastel hues.

  • As I drove through Aspendell one early autumn morning, the valley beneath the Sierra ridges was colored with the most vibrant shades of aspen foliage. However, grey overcast skies did not provide the right combination of elements that I was looking for. I returned to the scene later that morning  once the storm clouds started to clear. The clearing accented this idyllic mountain scenery that appeared to be so full of life and color.

  • GATEWAY TO THE FJORDS<br />
<br />
Fjordland National Park receives 200 rain-days every year. The day I made this photograph was turning out to be no different as heavy rains over the past 24 hours were threatening to play spoil sport. <br />
<br />
A brief respite from the rains in the evening allowed me to venture out and assess conditions for photography...and was I glad to have waited it out !<br />
<br />
As the sun began to set at Milford Sound, the clouds parted. I was witness to one of the most glorious sunsets in my life. To top it all, I was the only one out at this hour - so I could soak in this incredible scene all by myself !<br />

    Gateway to the Fjords
  • The Pacific coastline is replete with incredible opportunities for photography. The subjects are varied ranging from dramatic bluffs to sea stacks, craggy rocks, tafoni, and piers. The overall atmosphere is often enhanced by waves, storm clouds or the marine layer. It is no wonder this area attracts photographers from far and wide. <br />
<br />
I particularly enjoy making images late in the evening when most visitors are making a beeline for the exits ! At this hour, the entire coastline is enveloped in pastel hues and it is often hard to separate the expanse of the ocean, sky and shore. <br />
<br />
That was quite specifically the mood I intended to create while making this image. I waded far enough into the ocean to amplify the feeling of being amidst the infinite. The oncoming waves, cloudless skies and the marine layer induced haze were all enveloped in the hues of the setting sun rendering the scene in sweep of pastel pink !

  • While I have a general area of interest when I’m out making photographs, I tend to be spontaneous and flexible about the specific subject matter. The morning when I made this image was no different. <br />
<br />
I was hiking towards a stone quarry with the aim of making abstract photographs. However, the area was in and out of rain showers. It was during this window that I came upon this lone tree with its bright autumn foliage being softly illuminated by low angled light. As the sun was also coming in and out of a thick cloud cover, I had to find a quick vantage point. I chose the dry stone to lead the viewer into the photograph.
