This is where I show the most recent images and talk about how they were made. The images typically relate to landscapes and wildlife, but I also blog about photos of highways and mitigation measures for wildlife or road ecology in general. Please contact me if you would like to use any of the images.

Following another car on a dirt road at night, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The yellows are from the headlights seen through the windshield and it also shows some of the lights of the other car ahead of us. The reds, magentas and blues in the two clusters in the bottom half of the image are the dashboard lights in our own car.
