Waterfall WorldThis impressive network of falls looks fine during the day, but in the dark with long exposures it gives it a much softer feel. I had to sneak back into the park at night, climbing through a cave on the way, to get this shot. Though it may not look it, the myriad falls produced an impressive din. I am used to near-silence when shooting nightscapes, so it was quite disconcerting as I wouldn't have been able to hear anyone, or an animal, approaching. These artful wooden walkways snake their way through several miles of trail, and past hundreds of waterfalls, at Plitvice National Park in Croatia.

Tetrad of BloodThis series of images was captured during the course of a full lunar eclipse. The coloration is caused by the same phenomenon that causes the sunset to appear red. Sunlight passes through Earth's atmosphere where the blue light is striped away, leaving only the diffuse red light to bathe the moon in an eerie glow. This one of four 'blood moon' eclipses which occured in a series known as a tetrad, was observed from Northern California.
Winter's CrownA magnificent lunar corona over a snowy hillside. This phenomenon is caused by moonlight diffracting through an otherwise invisible haze of tiny ice crystals. This image involved an all-nighter wearing snowshoes in the inland hills of Northern California.
Great American EclipseDubbed the "Great American Eclipse", on August 21 2017, a total solar eclipse passed across nearly the entire United States. This composite image was captured near Mt Jefferson in central Oregon. The main image was captured during totality, and the sequence of solar images were shot with a telephoto lens from sunrise through the duration of the eclipse. Each image appears at the location in the sky where that stage of the eclipse occured, but the center of the sequence has been enlarged for dramatic effect.
