Spent ten days in Ireland. Sad to be back, but excited to share some new stuff. First shot is from the famed Cliffs of Moher. This flat ledge was subjected to the most intense winds I've felt in a long time, and it was absolutely necessary to keep the tripod — and myself — as low to the ground as possible. I have a few photos from up there at the very edge, but I shot hastily and got the hell back to where I wasn't concerned about being blown off a 100-meter cliff.

This was one of I think two actual colorful sunsets I witnessed over there. And this obviously isn't really that colorful at all. Wild weather over there. Anyway, blog here.

Had plans to hang out in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, yesterday, so I figured I may as well get a sunrise shoot in somewhere beforehand. Reached out to Moe and we rocked some shots in Old Orchard Beach. A promising-looking sunrise turned out to be fairly boring, but it was a blast. Played with the Singh-Ray Gold-N-Blue a lot. Sky's really blown out here, but I think this was my favorite overall composition of the morning.

This may be my last upload for a bit; heading to Ireland for ten days beginning this coming Friday. Cheers, friends.

It was a good 60+ miles north from Cape Kiwanda to Cannon Beach, the original sunset plan. Not sure exactly what happened, but we had fallen behind our schedule, and no way would we be hitting Cannon in time. Whipped out the ol' iPhone and took notice of the coastal community of Rockaway Beach, complete with enormous sea arch just off the coast. Sounded good to me.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much to work with, other than this huge chunk of driftwood (make no mistake; this thing was like 20 feet long). Still wound up with a cool comp, I think.

Star photography experiments! I gotta get out to where there is no light pollution more often. So exciting playing with new techniques and subject matter. The Milky Way actually made a faint appearance this night — but behind me — and I wanted to get a shot of the sea stacks. Freezing cold night on Cannon Beach, and I wasn't dressed for it — or else I'd have stayed a few hours to do star trails.

A monochrome shot? From me? Wild. Spent a few days shooting around Oregon. This is Cape Kiwanda on a very bright, hazy afternoon. Look closely and you can see my buddy Brian Matiash is further up there doing his own thing.
