  • The Yutoku Inari Shrine

    The Yutoku Inari Shrine

    This is a pretty epic location in Southern Japan. And it's not that old surprisingly. For this photo I used an HDR processing technique mixed with texture blending to give it a gritty aged look.

  • The Walt Disney Concert Hall This is probably the coolest building in Los Angeles. It was designed by the famous architect Frank Gehry in 1991 and construction began in 1999. I went out to shoot this location in HDR. I was really hoping it would rain to get nice slick reflections on the ground but the opposite happened. The weather cleared up giving me nice skies which I'm also happy with. Read more about this photo of the Walt Disney Concert Hall and my HDR method at AlikGriffin.com

  • Into the Rain at Shanghai A rainy night in Shanghai looking up a building. There seemed to be a wind vortex in this spot that was blowing the rain away. I was able to point up into the sky without any rain landing on my lens.

  • Santa Monica Pier A popular photo spot, I wanted to take a photo of this location that I've never seen before. This is a long exposure HDR. As the tide pulls back the wet sand casts a very nice reflection of the lights from the amusement park. Read more about this HDR Photo of the Santa Monica Pier.

  • Rice Huts of Bali. This is an HDR photo of some huts out in the middle of some rice fields in Bali. It's pretty interesting how it's all set up. There are the flags hanging some with cans attached so the farmers can pull on some rope connecting them all together causing the cans to clank, which scares all the birds away. It's this giant network of rope and cans. Kind of cool. Learn more about my photography at AlikGriffin.com

    Sun Flares at Yosemite Falls

    Sun Flares at Yosemite Falls You don't realize it until you're there but the falls this time of year give off so much mist, while standing there watching them you slowly find yourself getting wet. Shooting the falls is like the grown up version of being a kid and running through the sprinklers. Learn more about my photography at AlikGriffin.com

  • Rocky Bali Reef Break The beaches in Bali are so awesome. Everywhere you go it seems there is a picture perfect beach landscape. Bali has some of the best surf in the world and it's because of these rocky reefs. Learn more about my photography at AlikGriffin.com

  • Cheonggyecheon River of Seoul Korea Say that ten times fast! This was my very very first HDR photograph. Still one of my favorite. There was a lot of growing pains while delving into the world of HDR. I went from super hit and miss/terrible, to finally having my own style. I got lucky with this one. You can read about the the Cheonggyecheon River on my blog, AlikGriffin.com

  • Golden Mudstones of Zabriskie Point

    Golden Mudstones of Zabriskie Point

    At Zabriskie Point in the Badlands of Death Valley are these eroded mudstones. It's very strange even walking on them, it feels almost like it's hollow or that it's very light. I imagine if it got more rain here these mudstone hills would just disintegrate.

    A night the Niagara Falls is lit up by several massive lights that alternate colors. It's definitely worth waiting around in the cold for.
