Working on my photography backlog right now. Here are a few from my time in Maui earlier this year. #Hawaii #RoadToHana #Nature 🌱 #Birds 🦉 #SciArt 🐡 #Photography 📷
Photo taken on The Road To Hana. The narrow road bends from the center to the left; the pavement is slick and reflective from the recent rain. A dense canopy of trees branches follows the curve. Everything is in a natural, rich green hue. Landscape photo taken at a stream bank at Kepaniwai Park. The right side foreground is dominated by a tree in silhouette, with its roots snaking through the muddy ground beneath. The hill opposite the stream is covered in dense foliage, and it's in a natural, rich green hue. The shadowy foreground gives way to the highlights of sunlight glaring through the departing rain clouds. Landscape shot of Puohokamoa Falls, taken at Garden of Eden Arboretum on The Road To Hana. The shot was taken from a cliff overhead, with the falls in the distant center, surrounded by dense rainforest foliage. Everything is in a natural, rich green hue... Except for the orange two birds of paradise flowers in the foreground. Close-up portrait shot of a common/Indian myna (Acridotheres tristis). It's mostly front-facing and looking directly at the camera, though its head is slightly tilted in an almost quizzical manner. The brown and black feathers are contrasted with the bird's bright yellows around its eyes and beak. Taken at the Garden of Eden Arboretum.

Fall 2024 in Ashland, New Hampshire. My trip was timed perfectly; it was just after tourist season had ended, but the colors lingered for one more week. It's always fascinating to see how complex natural processes result in something so beautiful. #Nature 🌱 #Travel 🌐 #Photography 📷 #SciArt 🐡
A row of trees lining a country highway, with leaves in varying shades of red, orange, yellow, and green. The angle has the nearest trees in the left of the photo, with the treeline and highway creating a leading line to the lower center right. Taken at the intersection of North Ashland Road and Route 175. A row of trees lining a country highway, with leaves in varying shades of red, orange, yellow, and green. The trees are on the left side of the road/picture, with an electrical pole off to the right side. This was taken in the late afternoon, with shadows cast across the road and giving the image a reddish tint. Taken on Route 175. A row of trees lining a residential street, with leaves in mostly yellow and green, with the occasional orange. The tree in the immediate foreground on the right side of the picture are all a rich, bright yellow thanks to the evening sun just off screen to the right. The trees behind it are darker, creating a leading line going from right to lower left of the photo. There's even a house in the horizon at the end of the street, though it's barely noticeable. Taken on Fairway Drive in New Hampshire. A wide-angle shot of a thicket of trees. The golden hour sun is in the lower center, casting a reddish orange glow through the trees, illuminating the thick canopy of red, orange, and yellow leaves in the foreground. Two large trunks are off center to the left, which are mostly in silhouette due to the sunlight coming from behind them. Taken somewhere around 418 North Ashland Road.

One benefit of being stuck in quarantine: I have plenty of free time to work on my projects. Here are some photos from my recent trip up to New England, specifically Portland, Maine. #Photography 📷 #Travel 🌐
A wide angle shot of a building in Portland's old town. The upper half of a 5 story brick building is illuminated by the evening sunlight, while the bottom half is shrouded. The angle of the shot shows the front and side of the building taking up the right side of the photo, with the row of buildings behind it creating a leading line to the lower left. A cobblestone street and group of people at cafe can be seen on the far left and in the center background respectively. An overhead landscape shot of Portland's Fish Point. This is on the outskirts of the city, with a curved walking trail and old rail line on the left, groups of trees with red, orange, yellow, and green leaves in the center, with the early morning Atlantic tide lapping at the rocky shores on the bottom and right. Another section of Maine's coast can be seen in the upper background, stretching off into the horizon. In the far distant upper right corner, there's a marina filled with sailboats. A landscape shot of a residential area of Portland. Rows of houses line the gentle slope of a hill, painted in various colors and flanked by numerous trees in at different stages of the Fall/Autumn transition. The Portland Observatory towers over it all at the summit of the hill on the center right, with its top peeking out above the tree line. This photo was taken just before sunset (the sun is way off-screen to the left), so everything is tinged in a red-orange glow with a few highlights. A late afternoon photo at the Portland waterfront. The perspective shows the closest structure on the left, with the leading lines going to the upper right. An old wooden dock supports a long row of weathered buildings, each covered with layers of peeling paint of different shades. One building features the battered, faded sign advertising it as the Harbor Fish Market. Beneath the dock is a series of floating platforms carrying stacks of crab traps. There are a few boats behind them as well. Due to the water being mostly still (aside from a few ripples), the image is mirrored on the surface.

Well, while I'm working on new photos, here are some from my trip to The Philippines earlier in 2024. Hopefully they'll give you some travel inspiration for 2025! #Photography 📷 #Travel 🌐 #Beach 🐚
Sunset at White Beach, Boracay. This was taken just minutes before the sun dipped below the horizon. The bright yellow-orange glow gives way to the deep blue of dusk, with a few swirls of clouds accentuating the light. The sun reflects on the low tide pools, making the sand glow. There are a dozen silhouettes of sailboats on the horizon, giving a sense of scale and how popular the area is. A shot of a fruit and vegetable vendor stall in Boracay at night. Unlike the fancy groceries store in the tourist area, this place is much further up the road, in the local village. A wide variety of fruit and vegetables either sits in boxes or hangs from the walls, with a handful of plain light bulbs illuminating the front of the stall. A woman is looking away from the camera, peering into the depths of the stall at something unseen. A shot of Cujo's Keyhole (AKA Keyhole Rock) in Boracay. Countless years of ocean water and wind have cut through a massive cliff side by a beach, creating a rock arch that's at least 100 feet high. Ocean waves lap around its base, while the early afternoon sun casts a shadow on parts of the nearby rock wall. The top of the arch is also covered with dense foliage. There is a paved walkway going under the arch, but it was closed to the public when this photo was taken. A shot taken at White Beach, Boracay. The sharply bent palm trees loom over and create shadows on pristine white sands. The water is bright turquoise, befitting of a tropical paradise. The sky is also blue, with a layer of cloud cover over the coastline in the distance. There are three unoccupied sailboats parked on the sand; the dark green sail on one of them is unfurled, displaying "Jameson Irish Whiskey" on it. The shot is taken at a such an angle that the palm trees and sailboats create leading lines.

I've got a pretty huge photo editing backlog, so here's a few of my old favorite shots from Hawaii! #Photography 📷 #Nature 🌱 #SciArt 🐡
A set of muddy stairs leading up a slightly curved hill, from the bottom left of the shot to the right of the center. It runs along a grove of vibrant green bamboo trees. A hiker can be seen at the top of the stairs for the sake of scale. Taken at Manoa Falls Trail, Oahu. A roadside waterfall in Kauai. The dirt of the hillside is bright red because of the iron in the basalt rock, with its formations akin to swooping waves. The water is tinged red-orange as well. Landscape shot of the Nāpali Coast of Kauai. A combination of ancient lava flows and erosion. have created a series of sheer, massive cliffs that resemble ripples. The cliffs reach up to 4,000 feet, and are covered with various shades of red (due to the iron content of the rock) and dense green foliage. Taken from a boat, a little while before sunset. Sunset taken at Kona, Hawaii. The sun is just above the horizon, a bright orange dot that gradually gives way to the dark blue of dusk. Layers of clouds and ash particles in the air add more patterns and rich colors to the image.

-Folding knife. Great for cutting food, opening boxes, etc.

-Leggings. I do at least 1 hour of hiking for my cardio every day. Leggings are great for keeping warm and reducing chafing.

-My DSLR camera. Yeah, it's bigger and clunkier than a phone. But it's so much better quality/safer for wildlife.
Portrait of a green sea turtle swimming at Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park in Hawaii. Taken from a safe distance using a telephoto lens. A couple of bighorn sheep, with one in the foreground looking to the right of the shot. Taken with a telephoto lens at Valley of Fire, just outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. A crocodile partially submerged under the water. The only visible parts are its top jaw, eyes, and back of its head. Taken from a safe distance with a telephoto lens at Tortuguero Canal in Costa Rica. Close-up side profile shot of a blue-and-yellow macaw. The focus is on the head, with the beak, eyes, and various feather colors and striped patterns showing prominently. Taken with a telephoto lens in Cartagena, Colombia.

I post lots of nature photos! Some travel and urban photos as well, but mostly nature. Here are some of mine from Hawaii, Utah, Alaska, and Colorado:
A grove of bamboo trees on the Manoa Falls Trail in Oahu, Hawaii. Some of the trees have grown close enough together to become intertwined, forming a gate off to the left with the muddy trail running through it. A landscape shot of a seemingly endless array of hoodoo geologic formations at Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah. Each individual hoodoo looks a tower, some of which are up to 200 ft in height. They are mostly bright orange, with white stripes on their upper third sections. Landscape shot of John Hopkins Glacier on a clear day at Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska. Landscape shot of the King's Row section of Glenwood Caverns in Colorado. An extensive array of stalagmites and stalactites are seen throughout a massive cave. The surface of the ceiling is curved, making it look like an inverted wave. The entire area is lit up with bright violet light.

Could you add me to the starter pack, please? I post mostly travel and nature photography. Here's one of my photos from Rio de Janeiro:
A shot of a still pond covered with Victoria amazonica water lilies, one of the largest species of that type of plant. The plants look like a massive green dishes rimmed with red, and each of them is about the size of a car tire. This crowd of lilies stretches from the foreground all the way to the back, with occasional patches of water peeking through. A cloud is also reflected in the water. Taken at the Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro, 2019.

Periodic reminder that California has tons of spectacular natural wonders. So if you're already here in the state or are thinking about a trip next year, here are just a few awesome places: Muir Woods, Sequoia National Park, Burney Falls, and Lassen Volcanic National Park. #SciArt 🐡 #Photography 📷
A fallen tree coastal redwood tree resting on a hill. It's been there for so long that its its massive trunk has splintered and filled with dirt, allowing smaller plants and moss to grow throughout it. The shot is angled so as to create a leading line, with the base of the trunk in the lower left, and the rest of the tree extending towards the upper right. The low light is contrasted with the rich green colors of the plants, as well as the presence of moisture from a recent winter rain. Taken at Muir Woods, just north of San Francisco, CA. December 2016. A shot of General Sherman, the largest tree on Earth by volume. The trunk is well-worn with a few layers of wood exposed. The trunk is in the foreground, with two people standing off to the side in the background. The perspective was chosen to emphasize the sheer scale of the tree. At this level, General Sherman is 102.6 feet in circumference. It's overall trunk volume is 52,500 cubic feet. Taken at Sequoia National Park, California on Memorial Day Weekend, 2021. Landscape shot of Burney Falls, California. It shows a massive cliff wall covered in thick vegetation, with dozens of tiny breaks in the wall creating narrow sheets of cascading waterfalls. It's 114 feet tall, 250 feet wide. National Geographic deemed it one of California's most spectacular waterfalls, and President Teddy Roosevelt called it the Eighth Wonder of the World. Taken in September 2016. Landscape photo of the Sulpher Works at Lassen Volcanic National Park. A seemingly normal hill slope gives way to a hydrothermal vent, with hot mud bubbling in a pool as steam - and the stench of sulfer - rises. The complex geochemistry of this area has changed the color of the ground itself; the dirt is covered in stripes and blotches of yellows and oranges, in contrast to the blue sky. Taken September 2016.

I'm busy editing photos from my recent trip to Canada and New England. Here are a few shots from the Flume Gorge in New Hampshire. This is where I stopped when I was in New England in 2022; I had to turn around due to storms/lack of time. I picked up where I left off, got to see fall colors! 🌱 📷 🧪
Wide angle shot of The Flume itself. It was formed by Flume Brook gradually carving its way through layers of Conway granite. This resulted in a stream surrounded by rock walls that stand dozens of feet tall. The stream in the photo is relatively thin due to lack of recent rain. The walls are covered in moss and fall leaves, with the afternoon sunlight peeking in from the overhead tree cover. A narrow walkway with a railing lines one of the walls, just wide enough for foot traffic in either direction. A shot of a grove of trees, taken from almost directly beneath them. The trees are well into the fall season. What's interesting is that the colors slightly change based on how far they are from the roots. In this shot, the leaves in the upper left corner are green/yellow, then change to yellow orange towards the center, then orange/red as the tree line curves upward to the upper right corner. The upper center and upper right sections of the shot are empty blue sky, intentionally shown for contrast. As a result, the shot looks like a swirl of colors, comprised of thousands of leaves. One of New England's many covered bridges. This one crosses the Pemigewasset River, indicated by a wooden sign displayed over its entrance arch. The bridge is wooden, with a red and block roof. While it is wide enough to accommodate a car, the most traffic it gets are from hikers who use the wooden walkway on its side. The morning sun shines though the gaps of its arches, highlighting the woodwork. There is a hillside brimming with fall-colored trees in the background. A wide angle show of a massive boulder sits next to a forest trail. It is held up by smaller boulders and thick roots from the trees directly behind it. There is just enough room for a person to crawl underneath the SUV-sized boulder, as long as they don't mind the moss and fallen leaves that are covering it. The boulder was placed there by glacial movement thousands of years ago. The afternoon sun pierces through the tree cover, casting long, twisted shadows of tree trunks of the trail. The shot is done intentionally to have the boulder in the foreground with leading lines running up the trail behind it, showing off the light and ending with a couple of hikers resting on a bench in the far distance. The orange and yellow fall colors provide additional highlights as well.

Thanks! The last time I was in Alaska was in August 2019. I don't know when/if I'll make it back up there. Here, have a few more photos!
Landscape shot of John Hopkins Glacier on a perfectly clear day at Glacier Bay National Park. Thick mist drifting through a patch of trees on a hill just outside of Juneau. Landscape shot of a view of the Klondike Highway, a short drive away from Skagway, near the Canadian border. Red-orange leaves in the foreground give way to a cliff overlooking a dense forest, with glaciers on the horizon. Shot of a bald eagle perched on a tree branch, head to its left. This photo was taken at bald eagle nesting areas in the Taiya Inlet near Skagway.

Show me a picture, new or old, of #AlaskaSky

Early morning in Glacier Bay National Park, August 2019.
A shot taken in Glacier Bay National Park, a little while after dawn. The sun's reflection glimmers on the still water, with mist drifting around the silhouettes of trees and hills, and low clouds obscuring the distant glaciers. The contrast between orange dawn light and black landscapes give it a surreal quality; at first glance, it looks like streaks of colors blended together randomly.

Upper Circuit of the Argentinian side of Iguazu Falls, overlooking Salto Bossetti. It's essentially a massive cliff with a seemingly endless series of waterfalls cascading over the side, and into a basin brimming with thick rainforest vegetation. This is only one section of Iguazu Falls, which is the largest waterfall system on Earth. Landscape shot of Yosemite Falls at Yosemite National Park. It shows the upper section of the falls, which drops over 1,400 feet from a cliff and into rocky areas below. The cliff itself juts out at curved angle, with formations that almost resemble a swirl. The position of the waterfall is a unique result of glaciers retreating out of the area thousands of years ago; a moraine altered the flow of Yosemite Creek, forcing it to go over the cliff. This shot was taken on the afternoon of Memorial Day 2021. My perspective and sun's angle created a beautiful contrast (almost perfectly cut in half diagonally!) between the lit and shadowed areas of the landscape, with the sun highlighting the top part of the falls. I live in California, and I've spent tons of time traveling and hiking all over my home state. If you love California and/or want some visual inspiration from here, drop by my feed sometime. A wide-angle shot of an alley in Omoide Yokocho, Shinjuku, Tokyo. The narrow passageway is lined with bustling bars and restaurants. People sit on stools and enjoy a hot meal to stave off the not-quite-yet Spring cold night. Overhead, the passage is lined with lanterns, giving it a more intimate feel in contrast to the large neon signs looming overhead in the distance. Omoide Yokocho (AKA Memory Lane) is a comprised of a few alleys tucked away in a corner of Shinjuku. It's great place to visit if you've got a free evening in Tokyo (or you just want awesome photos), as long as you don't mind your meals flavored with a dash of claustrophobia. I prefer the solitude and beauty of nature, but urban photography gives me more opportunities to experiment with angles, perspective, and lighting. A landscape shot showing the December 2017 eruption of Volcan de Fuego, one of the many volcanoes in Guatemala. This was a few moments after the eruption, with a narrow, but growing plume of smoke and ash billowing into an otherwise clear afternoon sky. A trail of debris flows down one side of the volcano, smashing through rainforest growth. This is far from my most visually stunning photo, but it is one of my favorites because of its story. I was with a hiking group returning to Antigua when the eruption happened. I managed to get this photo from inside a speeding van, through a window, with trees obscuring the view. It's a one and a million shot. I also love geology and volcanology (and pretty much all Earth sciences!), so getting to see an eruption in person was a great experience.

If you see this, post your orange art!

One of the great things about photography is how it heightens your sense of spatial awareness. Combine it with a love of science, and you can understand nature in different ways. Consider what the American Southwest looks like from above. #SciArt 🐡 #SciComm 🧪
Aerial view of the Arizona/Utah Border, Near Kayenta and Monument Valley. Formations as seen on the ground may look like multiple clusters, but the view from 30,000 ft shows that they follow a curve on the continental level. Aerial photo overlooking Church Rock Valley, Arizona. Ancient rivers carved deep into what is now the desert landscape, leaving the valley behind. Aerial photo of Hasbidito Creek, Arizona. Ancient, meandering rivers and erosion have left complex patterns in the landscape. Aerial photo of Canoncito, New Mexico. The rivers have carved deep into the land, leaving behind massive, vein-like cracks in the surface and various shades of colored rocks. From 30,000 ft up, it looks like a giant fish skeleton. It'd be fascinating to study the geochemistry of this place.
