Waves crashing onto the beach at Golden Gate Bridge. It was a cold evening with the unforgiving howling wind but I felt that the movement of the waves added nicely to the foreground texture.
For the whole day, the sun was behind the clouds with sporadic drizzling until early evening. Wanting to push my luck, I set up at this spot overlooking Yosemite Valley and waited. As the sun slowly drifted near the horizon, the clouds suddenly parted at the right instant and the sun burst out its intense golden rays from behind, only to disappear again a few moments later.
Love the warm light from the setting sun on Sakurajima and the city. Kagoshima is one of the best locations to visit for its untouched nature and for a side of Japan that has yet to be discovered.
Another capture magical lighting I will never get tired of witnessing. I consider myself very fortunate as it was one of the rare days where Mount Fuji showed her full self.nnAfter finishing the shoot, I was virtually left stranded at the location due to the lack of available transport. It was a 7 km walk to the nearest station and I gave up halfway. In the end, I was lucky to receive help from kind local residents at a restaurant where the chef offered to drive me!
Iconic Tokyo Tower during sunset. A view that is set to change in the next 2 years as the observation deck I was on is scheduled to be demolished.

This entire day was cloudy with the sun totally obscured all the way towards early evening. Originally the plan was to capture the sunset at two different locations but it was very close to last light when I left the first location. Despite rushing to this second location along Merced River, once I had set up my equipment, the sun had already gone down and the alpenglow on the mountains had disappeared.nnTrusting my instincts, I stayed put in the growing darkness. To my delight, after the sun had set entirely over the mountains, we were greeted with a brilliant display of orange and pink hues against the evening sky, which became more intense by the minute. I managed a few quick captures before the performance was over as fast as it had started.
Last light on the ancient kingdom of Angkor. The setting sun disappeared for a good while before coming out for a final showdown before the end of the day.
Main street and shopping arcade in Kagoshima during the twilight hours.
A perfect blend of tradition and modernity. Taken during the Lunar New Year, this is one of the few occasions when the Buddha Tooth Relic temple is lit up.
