Happy Earth Day! 🌏
Sharing some of my favorite landscape moments this Earth Day. It’s hard to share everything I love, but choosing a small set of 20 photos and timelapses I’ve captured recently & over time felt both difficult and special.

Spending time in places like these always reminds me why I started photography in the first place - just being out there, observing, and capturing what’s already so beautiful.

Trying to do a little more of that this year, alongside being busy with documenting lovely couples saying "I do"!

All of the photos & Timelapses captured using A7R V and A7R III

🌈This is the best perfect rainbow I’ve ever seen!! I noticed it first time at 4:40 PM yesterday, April 12th, and it lasted for about 6 minutes in all its glory, after I first noticed it from my apartment in San Francisco, and then slowly faded away within the next few minutes. I stood just at this one spot without moving to capture some shots quickly. No time to mess around for different angles or compositions 😅

Captured at 4:42 PM yesterday in San Francisco with my A7R V and Sony 16-35mm f2.8 GM II lens, handheld.

I posted a video along with some of my camera photos yesterday evening and here is a full set with some close ups too. 🤩🥳🌈

✨Let’s Glow SF 2025! ✨
Brought to us by "Let’s Glow SF" is the largest holiday art projection mapping event in San Francisco downtown, one of its kind in the USA!! I

It’s free to view all the 8 iconic building installations in downtown SF. At some locations, they even served yummy hot cocoa, which you really don’t wanna miss! 🤪 If you missed this year’s Let’s Glow SF, there’s definitely another year and don’t miss in 2026!!

I’m super late to post this set but better later than never or better than posting these in 2026 🤣🫣

It was very cold walking on the but the hot coco provided by team really helped. 😋

All these photos were shot handheld using A7RV and Sony 35mm F1.4 GM Prime lens - my lowlight beast!!😍🥳

Here’s my take on SantaCon + Let’s Glow SF, documenting the post-party wanderings of Santas across San Francisco as the city lit up for the Let’s Glow Laser show in downtown!

Another set with Let’s Glow SF shots coming soon!!

Shot on A7RV and Sony 35mm F1.4 GM Prime lens

I couldn’t carry heavy weight and walk for a few hours so went out light weight with the beast lens 35mm Prime!

Fall sunset in Copenhagen!😍

I have so many amazing memories and photos 📸 from our trip to Scandinavia in 2023! Just not finding time to edit and share them here. One of my favorite big cities we’ve visited during our trip is Copenhagen. It’s a 🚴bike friendly paradise! Can’t wait to go back someday!

Fall in the Redwoods just hits different. 🍂🌲
On a partly cloudy day, soft light, a little bit of golden foliage — honestly the perfect combo for a calm walk and some photos. I missed breathtaking sunset when I was still surrounded with these giant trees but worth the stroll in the dark.
Featuring Josie, the Golden Retriever who just turned 3 last week. I met her during my casual walk and she’s absolutely gorgeous with her poses.

Tetons on my mind 🍂✨ Reminiscing my solo trip to Grand Teton National Park last fall — peaceful, breathtaking adventures. I wish I could have squeezed in time between my crazy work to be there this year… but there’s always next time.

Here are some of the beautiful scenes I was fortunate to capture — golden foliage, quiet horses, and those iconic Teton peaks that never fail to take my breath away.

Shot on A7RV using Sony 24-70mm F2.8 GM II lens and Sony 70-200mm F2.8 GM II lens.

🍂 Yosemite in the fall… I’ve dreamed of this for years.
Sigh! 😞 It took me several seasons of coming back again and again to finally witness Yosemite dressed in its autumn colors. I finally got to experience Yosemite in the fall end of Oct 2025!!
Something I’ve been wanting to do for so many seasons. Every time I’ve visited, it’s been winter, spring, or summer multiple times — but never Fall season. And honestly, seeing Yosemite with these colors felt completely different. Calm, crisp, and so beautiful in a way that photos can only try to show its true beauty, you have to experience it!!

I know you’ve all probably seen a million fall posts already (and at least half a million from Yosemite 😂), but these are my take on Yosemite in the fall — Set 1.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed being there witnessing, immersing myself and photographing them.

Several other Yosemite Fall sets coming soon to my page!

🍁✨ Enjoy.

Shot these using A7RV and Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM II and Sony 70-200mm f2.8 GM II lenses
Used carbon fiber travel tripod for my selfie images on a timer.

💫Golden hour at Taft Point, Yosemite!✨
Every time I return, this place reminds me how small we are next to nature’s grandeur. Capturing Yosemite’s beauty never gets old — it’s where my love for landscapes truly feels alive.

Did you see the plane flying over the moon? 🤣 Yesterday’s Harvest moon alignment with one of the Bay Bridge’s towers. I got lucky with the plane ✈️
