Rododendrons and Redwoods, Redwood NP [Big]
These photographs celebrate the magnificence of nature in all seasons. I have provided images of higher resolution than usual to give a glimpse of the quality which can be achieved with Large Format photography. If you have a large screen, you might like to try the [Big] images. Because even those images don't come remotely close to the actual high-definition of the photographs, I have provided a few selected details so that you can check the resolution for yourself.

Temples of the Sun and Moon, Capitol Reef NP

Sunrise, Havasu NWR, Nevada
[Detail] [Big]
The exceptional level of image clarity and naturalness of perspective in those photographs is due to my use of a large format camera, in the tradition of the great landscape photographers such as Ansel Adams. There is so much detail that it is like having twenty-five photographs in one ! The image to the right, when enlarged, contains several interesting close-up abstract images.
