This is called "get the shot and run for cover". I'm wading waist-deep to get the desired camera angles and when i saw this swell raising more and more, i knew i would be grabbing the camera and heading for more shallow water before i get clobbered.

Nevada wilderness in early morning.

sunny day following a heavy snow in northern Indiana

It's been raining most of the day and it's paying off by making this typically smaller waterfall much more voluminous.

There are many woodsy areas within biking distance of the studio and they make wonderful places to explore and capture images. This particular one is nearly all pine trees and has a wonderful air about it. The ground is very soft with years of accumulated pine needles and while the sun is high, light dances through the trees and makes for very interesting patterns for as far as the eye can see. I chose to capture this as a wider shot to enhance the field of view so the viewer becomes more immersed and can almost smell the pine air.

hiking through Waimea canyon on Kauai

from time to time, i see a shot that just shouts "tropical" and i capture the moment just for that reason.
