Architectural photography can be a great way of exploring and documenting a city, whether it's your home or on holiday.

    This was sunset time at Great Sand Tunes National Park here in Colorado. Any time of time is amazing there to see this natural wonder in person, but sunrise and sunset times I feel are the best as the ever changing shadows just give the dunes such a different look and mood and changes by the minute, I choose a little slower shutter speed just to soften things somewhat and really like how this turned out.

    Title or Location: Derrinallum, Vic
    I had this shot planned for a while, and using tools like PhotoPills and Google Maps really helped me scout out potential locations. One night, unable to sleep, I decided to step outside and take a look. The sky was crystal clear, and the stars were so vibrant?there was also a new moon, which made the scene even more special. Sometimes, the best moments come when you least expect them, and this spontaneous shot turned out to be everything I hoped for."
