Seascapes
Traveling outside of the US, I found myself in places like Iceland, Norway and Scotland, which were surrounded by water. In addition to landscape images, I really enjoy varying my shutter speed to create the look that I am looking for of moving water. Back in North America, the Oregon coast and The Canadian Rockies also provide the same opportunities.
