Pushing An Image Just A Bit Further
 
Aurora HDR 2019 Screen Shot
Every Sunday, I add at least four new images to the top of the Luminous-Landscape homepage. This week, I selected four images from one of several trips I have made to Pyramiden, while visiting Svalbard, Norway.
I am working on an article that will encompass many of my images from the last few years of visits to this astounding location. It is essentially a largely abandoned Russian coal-mining settlement. It’s not an easy place to reach as it is only accessible by ship. Nevertheless, a visit there is most worthwhile.

Photography is my passion and has been for 45 plus years. My career in photography has allowed me to travel the world, meet some of the most interesting people on the planet and see things I could never have dreamed of. My goal is to share the passion of pictures taking through photographs and teaching with as many people as I can hoping it brings them as much joy and happiness as it has me. I do this through Rockhopper Workshops and other projects as well as teaching at my Gallery in Indianapolis.
