Hiking the ‘W circuit’ at Torres del Paine, Patagonia
TL;DR; We went for a walk. It was very nice. For 3 years we’ve been talking about hiking in Torres del Paine, with the sole purpose of capturing ‘that pic’. The reasons for not going sooner have been various but were led by the simple fact that we were intimidated by the idea of spending…

I am delighted to announce that the Star Circle Academy was stupid enough to let me co-host another ‘light painting with fire’ event with Eric.

Heavens Above – I’m in Photoble
Looks like I’ve made another list of lists kinda website. This picture is used in Photoble as one of 20 examples of long exposure. Colour me happy about it. It was one of the first real long exposure shots I took. The image is taken from Glacier Point, overlooking Half Dome at Yosemite National Park,…
