The Witches of Glenorchy - Image Breakdown

Scroll through to explore what makes this image interesting.

This was actually quite a plain scene that we happened across when we visited Glenorchy Wharf in New Zealand one rainy afternoon. I took some creative liberty and used a long shutter duration to smooth out the choppy water and blur out the rustling leaves when creating this image. The scene itself lends itself to a painterly feeling and I was hoping to capture that in-camera.

Barley Fields in Spiti Valley - Image Breakdown

I have waited a long time to capture a scene like this. A scene that juxtaposes the stoicism of an immovable mountain against the fickle nature of wind. Mountains and wind. Like a metaphor for life itself. We go through life tolerating being tossed by the winds of change as long as we can hold on to some mountain of certainty that anchors us to what we hold dear. During a recent road trip to Spiti Valley in Himachal Pradesh, there were a couple of days that had us driving by scattered fields of barley swaying in the wind with the Himalayas towering up from the distant horizon line. The opportunity presented itself one evening close to sunset and I just had to pull over by the side of the dirt road.

Fall at Johnston Canyon - Image Breakdown

Fall is my favourite season. Hands down. The leaves do this magical colour turning dance right before they drop off the branches. Like at this gorgeous spot along Johnston Canyon in Banff National Park. The water flowed a lovely emerald green as I chanced on this scene that stopped me dead in my tracks.
