Low Tide at Miyajima Japan
I like shooting HDR. It allows you to pull so much more color and shadows out of a scene. I shoot HDR in a lot of my photos, but I…

My Lovely Wife In Her Kimono
Well, it’s not her Kimono. These things can run into the tens of thousands of dollars (for the good ones). The occasion was her brother’s wedding, so all the girls…
Temple in the Trees
This photo was taken at Miyajima, Japan, showcasing one of the island’s many temples. Miyajima features a mix of Buddhist and Shinto shrines and temples. I processed this photo using…
Kintai-Kyo Bridge of Iwakuni Japan
The Kintai-Kyo bridge is a magnificent sight that I captured in this photo. It is situated in the city of Iwakuni, in the Yamaguchi Prefecture of Japan.
The bridge is a wooden masterpiece that crosses the Nishiki River. It dates back to 1673, when the third lord of Iwakuni, Kikkawa Hiroyoshi, built it after reading a book about the West Lake in China. The bridge has endured many natural and man-made disasters and is regarded as one of the three great bridges in Japan. It is also a national treasure and a beautiful spot to visit.
Double Rainbow All The Way
This photo of the double rainbow was taken in Miyajima, Japan. It was one of those amazing lucky shots where the Photography Gods were with me. This shrine was built around 400 years ago in the water because the people believed the Island itself was a God. After seeing this double rainbow connect the island to the shrine, I might just believe it.
Kintai-kyo of Japan
The Kintai Bridge of Iwakuni Japan is a stunning example of ancient Japanese architecture. It was built in 1673 without using any nails, only interlocking wood pieces. I was lucky enough to photograph it some 300 years later, after paying the toll and testing its strength with my foot.
Itsukushima Shrine of Miyajima
This is the Itsukushima Shrine of Miyajima, Japan. It's off the coast of Hiroshima. They built this shrine about 400 years ago, and they built it in the water because they believed the island itself was a god.
Looking Down the Takachiho Gorge
This shot is from a higher elevation on the path that follows the edge of the Takachiho Gorge. The Takachiho Gorge is located on Kyushu Island in the Miyazaki Prefecture of Southern Japan.
This gorge is a natural wonder formed by volcanic eruptions and erosion. There are several great spots to take photos, from up here above, and from down below. There are also trailers around where you can find some different views.
Kawabata Street in Fukuoka Japan
This photo shows Kawabata Street in the downtown area of Fukuoka Japan. It’s close to Canal City in the Nakasu district.
The Kawabata Street is a row of various shops under a dome roof. If you like exploring some Japanese stores and culture this is a good spot.
Manai Falls at the Takachiho Gorge
This photo shows the Manai Falls of the Takachiho Gorge. It’s on Kyushu Island in the Miyazaki Prefecture of Southern Japan.
This place surprised me with how cool it was in real life. This area is stunning, especially in the fall. The Manai Waterfall is one of the top 100 falls in Japan. You can rent small row boats and paddle through them, which is how I got this photo.
