Nineteenth Collection

Dawn on Florida’s East Coast is a True gift. The colors, the serenity, the hopefulness of the new day ahead. It really is a spectacular way to start any day. I had to pull over and shoot it!

The bet I make with myself for at least 8 years is always the same: can a good smartphone replace the reflex? The answer I continue to give is: often but not always yes. And so even a dance show (here Barcode 39 by Lpp Project Dance Company) can give a good picture from the iPhone ...

Norway, Lofoten Islands
The snow this year has fallen copiously on the Lofoten Islands, the white mantle reached the sea along with all the beaches and the fjords. It was magic to walk along the shoreline in this magical setting.

Norvegia, isole Lofoten
La neve quest’anno è caduta copiosa sulle isole Lofoten, il manto bianco arrivava fino al mare lungo tutte le spiagge e i fiordi.
Era una magia camminare lungo la battigia in questo scenario magico.

Rain all day, very grey, thinking I might not get any photos after driving 5 1/2 hours to the beach. The sky started lightening, I got hopeful, then the color started filling in -good iPhone day @Cannon Beach

This was taken at the Texas State Capitol in Austin Texas. There were so many great photo ops on this property. This section of offices and meeting rooms are underground and had we not explored the grounds. we would likely have missed it.

Los colores del atardecer en los molinos del cerro Calderico en Consuegra- Toledo, tierra de Gigantes e ícono de Castilla la Mancha.

This is where Shotbysoundar began when I traveled with 20 professional photographers and it was headed by Abhishek Singh who inspired me to click some amazing photos in the easiest way. Since I like anything which is easy to learn

Although I live up the highway in Victoria, spending time in this coastal village, Sidney, is always a treat. I never tire of this pretty view. I am standing on “Glass Beach” while taking this shot (so named due to an abundance of beach glass). The near-still reflections and the moody sky in the background begged an elimination of colour to intensify the moodiness of the scene.

This was shot at Al Jaddaf waterfront. The Dubai skyline looked amazing while the heavy fluffy clouds and sunset made it look picture perfect. It was a moment worth capturing and my iPhone was always handy.

This photo was taken at Mount Dandenong in Melbourne. It was a crisp winter afternoon with clear skies, light falling through tall eucalyptus trees was creating a mystical mood

Photographing Lost Places is my great passion, rooms tell you stories of bygone years.
Pure head cinema.
On our journey through Italy we stopped in Genoa and visited a secret Lost Places Location and there I found this fantastic light-flooded staircase and was able to capture a moment that tells millions of stories.

The Floating Black @ Kofuku Station, Hokkaido

During my last vacation trip at Hokkaido a few months ago, I visited Obihiro, I was attracted by the small black ball on a small fountain and made me take this photograph.

Sight of pacific from Pigeon point lighthouse in California. This place is also one of those rare places in Bay area where Photographers take lots of beautiful images of Milky way.

While I have always enjoyed the beauty of the outdoors, the use of my iPhone camera opened a wonderful world of detail I'd not fully appreciated. It's landscapes that interest me...they simply are...no posing needed...they stand on their own as they wander through their seasons...each one gifting us with the very smallest of details. It's those seasons I've appreciated all the more...each one offering beauty, different from the next. It is these same seasons that remind us of our own passing time. These Quaking Aspens are in a stand directly behind a cabin we visit yearly in the Eastern Sierra, California...have watched them grow from nothing. Looking up through the bare limbs offers a view like no other..movement you'd not normally see. By processing in this manner, I felt the luxury of seeing the very smallest of thin branches, just before they burst into spring with new leaves.

Norway, Lofoten Islands
During the winter months, the hours of light are very few compared to the hours of darkness, and the sun never rises much above the horizon. The whole day is like a long, long sunset.

Norvegia, isole Lofoten
Durante i mesi invernali le ore di luce sono molto poche rispetto alle ore di oscurità, e il sole non si alza mai molto sopra l’orizzonte. Tutto il giorno è come un lungo, lunghissimo tramonto.

I sometimes leave early for work and watch the waves as they come in. This particular morning I stopped near the Ala Wai Boat Harbor, and the water was calm and glassy. I took this shot and was amazed at how it was almost a mirror reflection.

Having lost my ability to drag around a heavy DSLR camera, lenses, and tripods, I count my blessings that my iPhone 7Plus exists. Light and always in my hand, it allows me to indulge my “sight” and never miss a shot. This one begged to be taken. It is the Fisgard lighthouse at Fort Rodd Hill in Victoria, BC. The leading line of the path and the dramatic skies made this a magical shot for me.

I took this photo at a beach in Adelaide – Australia. South Australia is a special bit of our country with magical views everywhere. I drove 1058km in 14hrs. from Melbourne to Adelaide and decided to take a stroll on the beach after a long day, I was humbled by this stunning sunset
