This little gold nugget was another light bulb moment in my photography journey. You see, I love chasing a bright colourful sunrise and sunset as much as anyone and for many years I assumed that a bright red, orange sky equalled great light. However, did you know that great light and great colour are two […]
Sunsets are an amazing example of how an end of something can be beautiful too. The following photo of Schrecksee by travel photographer Sebastian Ruef is a perfect example of a beautiful and colorful end to a day: He used his Fujifilm XT-20 camera with the 18-55 kit lens at f/2.8, ISO 200, and shutter […]

Have a look at the following image taken by photographer Jeremy Noyes in San Diego: The image is a long exposure that Noyes took […]
Forget leg room. Once you see this gorgeous aerial photograph of Mount Rainier, which was captured by -rabid- during a commercial flight, you’ll swear off aisle seats forever: At 14,410 feet, ice-capped Mount Rainier is easily Washington’s most iconic natural feature and the lower 48 United States’ most glaciated mountain, despite being an active volcano.

It’s hard to describe the exact moods evoked by Marc Adamus’s image “Light of the Storm.” The dark and menacing is rivaled by a warm and hopeful brightness—a beautiful visual example (and potentially metaphorical representation) of the ending of a storm.
