Sample Images from Travel Photography:
Icebergs photographed with the sun behind the camera during twilight just north of Ilulissat in Greenland.
A very conventional shot of tourist villas over the water on Moorea Island in Tahiti. Note the very small shadows beneath the buildings due to the sun being almost directly overhead.
Fill-in flash was used to brighten up the dark stone wall on this ancient mill building in Orkney. It also boosted image colour and saturation in very flat lighting.
