Portrait of a Colonial Woman

Morning is the best time to visit Colonial Williamsburg, if you want to shoot portraits of the interpreters. The light is soft and most of the visitors haven't arrived yet. It's possible to really enjoy a chat and shoot some great shots.

Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse

Located on the Chesapeake Bay, south of Annapolis, Maryland, this is the last operational screwpile lighthouse and is still being used as a navigational aid. It is a National Historic Landmark. I shot this from our moving boat.

Multnomah Falls

Multnomah Falls shot in early autumn. Tourists gaze at the upper falls from the Simon Benson Bridge perched above the lower cascade. Located along the Historic Columbia River Highway, Multnomah Falls is the second tallest year-round waterfall in the United States. A long exposure shot, using a tripod and a neutral density filter.

Breathtaking

The Yuan Yang Rice Terraces in Yunnan Province, China, at sunset. These terraces were hand carved out of the side of the mountain over thousands of years. Because of the cooler winters, only one rice crop is grown each year. You can see the new bright green rice plants in a few of the ponds. The rest are filled with water and reflecting the sunset. Soon, the rice plants will be planted in all of the ponds. These rice terraces are located about fifteen miles north of Vietnam.

Tranquil Temple

Banteay Samre Temple, near Siem Reap, Cambodia, has far fewer tourists than Angkor Wat, due to its remote location. It's well worth the drive!
