Check out my latest tutorial on ND filters!
It actually surprise me that so few people know about Glijufrabui waterfalls. It is located just 500 meters from the very popular Seljalandfoss, but I guess most people are to lazy to walk that far!
To get this shot I was standing in the rushing river with my waders, constantly wiping my lens to avoid wet spots all over the image. Even with a 0.6 second shutter, I got many of them! It was one soaked camera and one soaked photographer walking back out of the cave. Possibly the most challenging image I’ve ever taken! Like others have done before me, I had to take a selfie on the rock, but I wanted to get a different approach then most people, something I feel I managed to do.
Also I must say, at places like this, you realise how small you are.. 🙂

7 VIDEO TUTORIALS: HERE.
At about 1 AM my clients and I were suddenly woken by high winds beating on our tents and the strong smell of ozone in the air. Being that we were camped near the edge, this was a little alarming. Not only that, but all weather reports and radar predicted no storms nor rain and so I (stupidly) parked my 4WD miles away on a road that was in a wash! I downplayed my concern as I checked outside my tent. Even though it was dark, I could tell something serious was brewing! I told my clients we were ok and they went back to sleep. I did not sleep but kept watch on the conditions. We got up about an hour before sunrise to ensure that my clients had their photographic positions ready. We were greeted with amazing, thick and dramatic clouds almost ready to rain, but with a small gap just at the horizon. Anyone who has done landscape photography for a while knows that this is one of the better lighting conditions one can get. Just as the sun broke the horizon the light suddenly exploded! The intense orange glow was just awesome. I was preoccupied with helping my clients get the shot, and as soon as I knew they were all set up and shooting, I managed just one bracketed “grab shot” (here). After a little time, I knew we needed to get out of the area quickly because the weather was intensifying. We packed up our gear as fast as we could and took off, hiking some miles in a pretty intense pace. The very moment we reached my rig, the sky opened up and began to pour. After about 30 minutes of rigorous 4 wheel driving, we got into a safe area and we looked back. The location we had been shooting was getting clobbered with rain that looked like armageddon with violent lightning and flash flooding! One client remarked “that was some amazing timing!” It was certainly an adventure! 🙂 From this shoot, one of the clients got published in a popular Arizona magazine as well as ended up hiring me to post process some 73.5 inch super gloss acrylic mount fine art prints that he sold. I can not help but feel incredible privilege and gratitude to be able to do this work for a living! I will be announcing another very special workshop in the next week. Just watch my website HERE if you are interested.
Feel free to FACEBOOK me if you so feel the urge.
As always, thank you very much for looking, and GREAT light to you! :)

Here is a picture of Pali Peak and Ko’olau Ridge taken during our recent trip to Hawaii from the Pali Notches in the island of Oahu. My husband Paul Rojas wanted to get a shot from the notches as he figured that Pali peak and Ko’olau Ridge catch most of the afternoon light and there is no other place best to take the picture of it but from a higher vantage point, that is from the sketchy Pali Notches.
When we first scouted the area, we were greeted by a steep 70 degree trail, with barely just roots and dead branches to hold on to. I told Paul that it would be best to buy an insect repellent as I’ve had terrible experiences in the past during my hikes back home in the Phils where mosquis actually pierce through your clothing just to get their daily dose of iron. We decided we should just come back when we are properly equipped for the hike.
After reading blogs on the Pali notches hike, we came back a couple of days and realised that the trail head actually had a NO ENTRY sign warning visitors to not go beyond that point – apparently there were a number of accidents where hikers either fell off or got injured during hikes.
In the middle of our hike, we were surprised to hear a couple trailing behind us which we thought were Oahu locals given their hiking attires- they were wearing flip flops and your casual mall shorts. They actually hiked past us, and it did seem by how quickly they reached the first clearing that this is just one of their regular afternoon hikes (more like a date, actually).
Paul and I quickly set up our camera and tripods as soon as we got to the first clearing. Paul hates me when he saw this picture as he said he didn’t get any decent comps but I’m pretty sure he’ll come up with something, maybe not now. It’s just that he lets it brew for a few months, years even, and comes back and works on it depending on when he finally is “feeling” it.
This photo is a two exposure blend.

Temporal en los acantilados de Pría (Llanes, Asturias, España). Se pueden ver algunos “bufones”, que se producen al entrar el agua por agujeros en la caliza.
