  • Reaching the Peak - Believe it or not this famous view was one of the most difficult shots thus far. Not because of the mountainous terrain, the lack of transportation or the hot weather, but the amount of tourists and photographers I had to fight past just to secure a spot. On one occasion I had one photographer setting up a tripod and taking shots between my legs. This photo was taken at The Peak in Hong Kong with a Canon EOS 500D at 18mm focal length and f/5.6 aperture. The photo consists of a combination of 5 exposures.

      • I shot this photo while on a cruise in Kenai Fjord, Alaska. I used a Nikon D90 with a 17-55mm lens. The only post-processing is cropping and converting it to monochrome. I love travel and photography. While travel allows me to come across images I've at some point pictured in my head, it also allows me to discover new impactful images. I try to capture this imagery in my photos. For updates from me, follow me on Facebook and Instagram @travelsofarchana

            • This is an infrared photo of a cypress swamp in Phinizy Swamp Nature Park in Augusta, Georgia (USA). I shot the photo with a Lumix DMC-SZ7 point and shoot camera that was converted for IR photography. The photo was processed in Photoshop by adjusting the lighting levels and swapping the red-blue channels.
