Rugged foreground that was probably formed by volcanic activity in the past, captured with a lone seagull flying over the sea. Located near the seaside village of Grindavik in Iceland.
Incoming tide captured using long exposure on the shore of Broadstairs in England.
I went to take pictures in and around the coastal fishing town of Grindavik on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland while I visited there. The weather was incredible; in the course of two hours I saw everything from bright and sunny to stormy and rainy – and at one point there was a rainbow as well that formed out of the remains of a rain cloud.
The combination of a well known landmark in London and very unique circumstances. I photographed the Houses of Parliament as a very dramatic rain cloud was rapidly receding behind the building about half an hour after heavy raining.
I hadn’t been planning to photograph Tower Bridge that afternoon, but that gloomy sort of atmosphere that only London can have made me stop and start capturing images of this landmark. The HMS Belfast is floating on the right side of the frame, the former battleship is a museum today, operated by the Imperial War Museum.
Temple Church in London located between Fleet Street and the River Thames. It was built for and by the Knights Templar as their English headquarters, that is why this place is surrounded by conspiracy theories and speculations. It’s also featured in Dan Brown’s book The Da Vinci Code and is famous for its effigy tombs and for being a round church. Because Temple Church is surrounded by buildings, a distant view is not possible. I placed the camera in the corner at a low angle with the widest available focal length to get this image.
Wembley Stadium located in Wembley, north west London – is the second largest stadium in Europe. I wanted to emphasise its symmetrical structure in this image and I blended six images to increase tonal range and to capture the details of the dramatic sky behind.
Symmetrical composition of the towers of Canary Wharf with the aid of the street lamps in Cutty Sark from the other side of the river Thames.
I took this photo of the Battersea Power Station on a very gloomy day, which I felt was perfect for this iconic landmark in London. The pouring rain and the dark sky complimented the power station with an atmosphere that was exactly what I had in mind for this location.
Wembley Stadium captured at night in London with a moving train in the foreground.
The monument of Marble Arch in London captured in twilight with wide lens from a very low angle. It’s located near Speaker’s Corner in Hyde Park at the junction of Oxford Street, Park Lane and Edgware Road.
Downstream Building is located at the south side of London Bridge captured from the north side with the top of Southwark Cathedral in the background and London Bridge on the right.
Wembley Stadium captured from Horsenden Hill in North-West London in the evening.
Autumn leaves captured against a foliage backdrop on a misty day.
I used a simple concept here to have the Autumn colored leaves on the left with the foggy trees on the right. It turned out to be a near optical illusion as when the eyes move from the leaves to the right half of the frame, the trees gradually become more and more visible.
Blue Lagoon is a geothermal spa in Iceland with wonderfully vibrant blue colour and fantastic scenery all around. The white colour around the edges in the ponds is due to the extremely high degree of salt in the water.
Captured in Brockwell Park in London on a foggy day as some light from the late afternoon sun made its way through the fog and into the image from the top right corner of the frame.
I was walking around Tate Modern on South side of the River Thames when I caught glimpse of St Paul’s Cathedral as it was lit by some late afternoon sun rays and I really liked the way the dome reflected back the beautiful colours through the trees in the foreground.
Thames Barrier in London with beautiful evening sky above.
Contrast between the traditional architecture of Tower Bridge on the left and the modern City Hall on the right in London; England. I used a 10mm wide angle lens to be able to fit this scene into one composition.
On a cold morning walk on the Reykjanes peninsula, I found one of the many rock piles scattered all over Iceland commonly referred to as ‘Cairn’. Due to strong wind, rain was pouring straight onto the camera lens and while trying to compose the image I kept my hand closely over the lens hood. As a result, lens condensation occurred on the glass surface and when I pulled my hand away rain immediately started hitting the foggy glass. This foggy and wet scene was therefore captured through a foggy and wet camera lens, which helped to visualise the atmosphere of the place.
I don’t normally include so many man-made objects in a landscape but I made an exception here. I envisioned this image during the day while taking pictures of the road leading to Grindavik, a fishing town on the Reykjanes peninsula on the south-western coast of Iceland. In the evenings, the light from the town behind the hill hit the clouds that were generally close to the ground to produce a futuristic backdrop and I used long shutter speed to have the moving cars draw a curved line into the silhouette in the foreground.
A full rainbow captured on the coast of Grindavik in Iceland in a warm scene lit by the setting sun from behind.
A late afternoon seascape captured near Grindavik in Iceland with a rugged foreground that was probably created by volcanic activity in the past.
I found this lone rock while hiking on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland. I used the rugged mountain wall as a backdrop to emphasise how small the rock (which was actually taller than I am) was in its surrounding.

A full rainbow caught above clouds beautifully lit by the setting sun.
This plant with its vibrant yellow leaves was the only thing in a massive area on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland to convey autumn colours. It stood out from a distance on an otherwise very bleak landscape.
A dissolving rainbow captured with a seagull floating by.
Rugged mountain wall with some really deep red colour captured in Iceland.
There is no shortage of interesting plants living on the soft volcanic ground surface on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland. This white plant reminded me of seaweed in spite of living quite far from the sea.
Wild mushrooms growing in small groups on the remains of a broken tree in New Forest.
I waited for just about two years for the right circumstances to capture this tree in Brockwell Park in London. I hope that this cold and misty Autumn afternoon did justice to its greatness.
I captured this image in a small forest in Suffolk, England as warm sunligh hit some tree banches and missed others. It’s a great example of the surprising and beautiful display light is capable of in woodland areas.
The beautiful spring-flowering bluebells have great visual appeal to most photographers. I also fall victim to the blue duvet if I get the chance to photograph them during the two weeks of spring when they can be found in various places of woodland. This image was captured as warm sunlight found its way through the side foliage of this small forest in Suffolk, England.
Herne Bay Pier was built in Herne Bay, Kent on the South East of England for steamers and was notable for its length of 3,787 feet (1,154 m) until its destruction in a violent storm in 1978. The landing stage still stands today, isolated at sea, relentlessly waiting for the ships that will never arrive. I captured this scene on a day of strong winds with light from the nearly setting sun coming from the west.
I captured this image from a higher viewpoint aiming at the seagull with the crashing sea waves as the backdrop on a very stormy afternoon. The late afternoon sunrays reflected from the bird floating above the violent sea as I experimented with longer shutter speed to get a more abstract image in accordance with the energy and the atmosphere that surrounded me.
Although I’m not a cloud expert, as a passionate landscape photographer I have some understanding of the sky. I believe what I captured here was a dissolving lenticular cloud that I noticed on the late afternoon sky.
Houses of Parliament and London Eye photographed with Hungerford Bridge in the foreground. The image was taken from Waterloo Bridge with a beautiful painterly late afternoon sky with a half moon rising from behind London Eye glowing through the thin cloud layer in front.
I found this place somewhere in Walberswick Nature Reserve in Suffolk; England, when I decided to wonder off the walking trail. The last light of the day came from behind the forest as I captured this little isolated natural wonder.
Wide view of the seaside village of Blackrock on the east coast of Ireland in County Louth. The image was captured at dawn with low tide and scattered clouds that formed a beautiful ceiling over the village with the shallow water surface reflecting back the blue and orange colour tones.
Dawn near the coastal village of Blackrock in Ireland. The tide was low this morning leaving patterns and curves behind to be visually described by the early morning light.
Preparing for a photography trip to the coastal village of Blackrock in Ireland, I had been checking the weather forecast for days to choose the right time to go. Relying on the forecast, I was hoping for a spectacular sunrise that didn’t happen and on top of that the tide was also low that morning. Like so many times with landscape photography, the circumstances were different from what I expected, and yet the image I captured gave me great satisfaction.
This image was taken on a clear summer night in Suffolk county in England in the middle of a field; away from the lights of the city. I used 44 seconds exposure and very light sensitive settings to capture the Milky Way that night. On this occassion, I was lucky enough to have a falling star flying across the Milky Way while the shutter was open, leaving its mark on the photograph.
Moving marsh on a windy day. I used long shutter speed to capture the motion in the frame.

One of London’s most recognisable landmarks, this is Battersea Power Station. It is a decommissioned coal-fired power station located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Battersea. The image was captured after sunset, with a picturesque sky behind the building.
Emirates Stadium located in the inner-city district of Holloway in London, home to Arsenal Football Club captured in twilight. On the left side of the image, I included the “The Spirit of Highbury” shrine with a picture depicting every player to have played for Arsenal during its 93 year residence at Highbury.
This image was taken about one hour after the sun had set behind the horizon from a distance using long lens. This is the only standpoint in London where it’s possible to take both the towers of Canary Wharf and the Millennium Dome into the same composition.
The iconic landmark, Buckingham Palace in London photographed in the evening with a colourful sunset in the background. This was quite a challange, this exposure was only possible in an interval of approximately 5 minutes. I wanted to capture the colours of the sunset in the background without overexposing the upper parts of the sky, and the light was perfect for a very short period of time.
Contrast between the traditional architecture of Tower Bridge on the left and the modern City Hall on the right in London; England. I used a 10mm wide angle lens to be able to fit this scene into one composition.
The arch of Wembley Stadium in London captured at night.
The famous landmark Westminster Abbey in London photographed in the evening. I used 10mm wide angle lens in order to be able to include the huge building in the frame from such distance. Big Ben is visible on the left and Westminster Abbey shop is on the bottom right of the image.
Royal College of Music captured in twilight.
The famous Tower Bridge in London with a beautiful full Moon rising from behind, illuminated by the warm colours of the setting Sun from the West. The Moon was at the center of the bridge at the time of taking the picture, allowing me to create a symmetrical composition.
Houses of Parliament in London with Westminster Bridge in the foreground photographed in twilight using long exposure to capture the motion in the clouds behind.
A dramatic black and white seascape captured at the famous Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland. This area was declared World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1986.
The famous Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland with a dramatic sky in the background. It’s a surreal place with thousands of hexagonal basalt stones where lava from a volcanic erruption once met the cold sea. This area was declared World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1986.

End of Autumn and beginning of Winter. A red leaf that had just fallen on the freshly fallen snow with a few blades of grass still peeking through showed the transition between the two seasons.
Wet pebbles on the seaside of Walberswick in Suffolk, England. I placed the biggest in the center of the frame as it stood out with the last sunrays of the day still touching its top.
The setting sun captured in Suffolk; England. I wanted to create an otherwordly atmosphere for this image and I did so with the aid of white balance. I shifted the colour temperature to the coldest available point against a very warm scene before my eyes and Cold Sunset is the result.
During an unusually vibrant sunset in Seaford; England, I decided to capture the crashing sea waves complimented by the beautiful light that evening.
This image was taken on a clear summer night in Suffolk county in England in the middle of a field; away from the lights of the city. I used 42 seconds exposure and very light sensitive settings to capture the Milky Way that night. Some areas on the image show a slight hint of the colour red, I believe this is due to a few very thin clouds that picked up the light coming from a village nearby and reflected it back to the camera.
Half an hour long exposure of the night sky. With the camera shutter open for such a long time, the stars leave a trail of light behind as they move along their nightly journey. With this image, the camera also picked up on light coming from a nearby town that is visible coming from the bottom left of the frame.
Playing with shadows and patterns with a little help from the setting sun on the sandy beach of Walberswick in Suffolk; England.
Fast moving clouds with an interesting “brushy” edge were approaching the rising moon and I felt compelled to turn my camera towards the sky to capture this unusual formation.
I wanted to capture the interaction between the pebble and the sea water moving back and forth. I used an exposure of 0.62 sec which was long enough to capture motion without excessively blurring the water.
After a brief shower of rain, the Sun quickly re-appeared creating beautiful combination between sunrays and the water drops that had gatered on this leaf. The image was taken in the village of Wenhaston in Suffolk; England.
I found these tiny flowers in Suffolk; England. The original photo was intentionally underexposed and later adjusted at the post-processing stage to create the glowing effect with the flowers.
I was looking for an intersting scene to photograph when I came across with this piece of dry land in Suffolk; England. The feather was also there so I decided to use it as a foreground interest for this abstract landscape.
I took this picture on a cold Winter morning from a distance using zoom lens in order get a vague and misty outline of this lone tree in Brockwell Park in London.
One of London’s most recognisable landmarks, this is Battersea Power Station. It is a decommissioned coal-fired power station located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Battersea.
Panoramic image of the Houses of Parliament photographed in London on a warm late summer evening with soft, diffused light coming from the setting sun behind.
This is Battersea Bridge in London captured soon after sunset from Albert Bridge. Lots Road Power Station can be seen behind the bridge on the left with overlooking Chelsea on the right.
Admiralty Arch is a large office building in London which incorporates an archway providing road and pedestrian access between The Mall, which extends to the southwest, and Trafalgar Square to the northeast.
I photographed it in the evening and was standing on the middle of the road for almost an hour to make sure I have the perfect timing with the light streaks and the colour tone in the sky.
Lots Road Power Station and Belvedere Tower captured in London from Battersea Bridge with some vibrant sunset colours reflected from the evening sky.
The coastline along Blackrock village in Ireland in January with some snow on the rocks. I released the shutter several times before finally succeeding to capture the late afternoon sun rays hitting the crashing waves.
