The Eiffel Tower from Trocadero

There is just so much awesomeness in Paris - starting with that iconic symbol of the city, the Eiffel Tower.  On my last trip there, I shot it a LOT, starting with today's photos which are from The Trocadero.  It's across the River Seine from the Eiffel Tower and as you can clearly see, offers up a pretty incredible view!  Have a look and enjoy!

A primal morning in Copenhagen

On a recent morning in lovely Copenhagen, I headed out with just one lens (my 15mm f1.7 prime) and just one purpose - to capture some beautiful photos of this city that I just love to visit.  Did I accomplish my goals that morning?  Was my self-imposed limitation of just one lens "good enough"?  Well, here are 23 photos that show you what I came back with.  Click on in and you be the judge!

Morning at Nyhavn

On my recent trip to Copenhagen, I got up early one morning to head over to Nyhavn, their historic harbor front entertainment area.  It's quite beautiful, and I fired a lot of photos.  I made a concerted effort to shoot it differently than I have in previous trips, and I think I succeeded.  Take a look at these 12 photos and let me know what you think!

An awesome sunset in Copenhagen

On my recent trip to Copenhagen, I had hopes for good shooting, but the weather forecast did not look promising.  Couple that with a missed connection in London, and I was sure that my first day there was going to be a bust.  But sometimes Mother Nature (and travel complications) work out for the best!  I ended up shooting a fabulous sunset - and here are 22 photos (count 'em!) to illustrate just how great it was.  Have a look!

Lots from London

I seriously enjoy going to London and taking photos - it's one of my favorite cities, and I find it rather beautiful.  In fact, when I am there, I find it hard to sleep because I want to be out shooting so much!  So in an effort to get more of my London shots "out there" for public consumption, here's 17 more that I hope you enjoy viewing as much as I enjoyed taking!

A bit of this and that from Dublin

Whiskey, bridges, a church and a jail - not your normal collection of shots!  Today's post doesn't really follow a "theme" like many of mine do.  This is rather just a group of shots from some of my trips to Dublin that I happened to have ready, but which don't necessarily all go together.  But I think it does give you a nice tour of some cool spots around this lovely Irish town...so click on in and have a look!

Dining in the Musee d'Orsay (and musing about lovely Paris)

Paris is a beautiful city - that's basically an undisputed fact.  But on my recent visit there, I found beauty in lots of unexpected places - including inside a cafe, inside the Musee d'Orsay museum.  Here's a visual tour of the place, which is the home to many of the great works of the Impressionists.  Enjoy!

Sunrise in Montpellier

It's always hard to get up early for anything - even if it's something you love, like shooting sunrise.  But then again, you can't shoot sunrise any other time of day except morning, so an early rise is sort of a requirement.  So I did just that when I was in Montpellier, France a while back - and it was well worth it!  And it was an amazing sunrise!
