I was standing in the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. when I took this photograph between honking cars and speeding bicyclists. I was arrested by the local police because they considered my tripod a dangerous weapon. I was handed over to the Department of Homeland Security, interrogated and labeled as an “enemy combatant” ready to be renditioned to Guantanamo Bay.
That wasn’t even the bad part.
My poor Canon EOS 5D Mark II camera was scanned, swabbed and fingered by some unsavory guys wearing pink shoes, purple smocks and white gloves.
I finally yelled out from the top of my lungs, “Photography is not a crime!” and handed them a copy of this:
Find out your rights as a photographer by clicking this link
They put a black bag over my face and forced me into some vehicle. After an hour or so I was then thrown out of the vehicle and found myself in some place called Freedom Plaza back on Pennsylvania Avenue.
Yes, it’s tough being a travel photographer.
I also have a wild imagination.
None of this is true (but this could be the next Dan Brown novel) with the exception that I really was on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. taking this photograph from Freedom Plaza.
This is a great location to photograph the U.S. Capitol with a city view. It looks like I’m standing in the middle of the road, but actually Pennsylvania Avenue takes a slight bend where the plaza is at so you have a direct view of the Capitol with the traffic coming straight toward you.
As always, thank you for all your kind comments and favorites. If for some reason when you come back to my photostream and it hasn’t been updated for a while, then you’ll know the U.S. government has really temporarily relocated me to Guantanamo Bay!
Happy Travels!

Another three in one photograph.
From the banks of the of the Potomac River you can get a great view of the Arlington Memorial Bridge, The Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument all in one frame.
The Arlington Memorial Bridge not only links the state of Virginia with the District of Columbia, but also the Civil War era North and South.
On one end you have the Union’s Lincoln Memorial and across the Potomac on the Virginia side you have the Confederacy’s Robert E. Lee Memorial.
Some of you have commented on the recent watermarks on my photos. It’s there for a reason. People have been using my photos without my permission or compensation. If you want to use my photos please let me know and I would be more than happy to share them with you. Just drop me an email.
Don’t steal! The government hates competition!
Happy Travels!

Desde la entrada a la quebrada Arhueycocha. El derrumbe que se ve abajo es bastante reciente y corresponde a un bloque de glaciar que se desprendió de la cara noreste del Artesonraju, afortunadamente no pilló a nadie andando por ahí. Si ven la foto en el mapa o en el Googlearth se nota la diferencia y la forma en que cambió la geografía del valle, que antes tenía bastante vegetación en la parte que se ve rellenada con el aluvión, pura geografía viva.

This is a pano made up of three 24mm shots stitched with CS6.
A warm mid-day scene from the shores of Swiftcurrent Lake, taken just below the famous Many Glacier Hotel. The pyramid-shaped mountain on the center is Mount Grinnell, a name it shares with a lake and a glacier not visible from this angle.
This was a beautiful mid-morning, the waters of Swiftcurrent Lake were very still and peaceful.
I just came back from a Summer vacation to Alberta, Canada and Montana, US. We had a wonderful weather, clear and sunny days perfect to make great images.
Hope you and your families are doing fine.
Una calida manana en el Lago Swiftcurrent, en Many Glacier, Montana. La montana del centro en forma de piramide es Mt Grinnell. Ese dia las aguas estaban muy tranquilas y el reflejo era perfecto. Acabo de regresar de unas vacaciones en Alberta, Canada y Montana, USA.
Espero todos uds se encuentren bien junto a sus familias.
As always, thanks for stopping by and looking. I appreciate your comments and visits.
I was late again this time, rushing for spot for this beautiful sunset, feel frustrating a little while, because the sun is going down so quickly, and the colors kept changing...worried about missing it again. Have to mount the Filter holder, the wireless remote shutter release, the filters, the tripod and the composition. Phew...finally, as you can see the sun was totally down below the horizon.....this magical moment last less than 5 mins..and I drove 1 hour to this place and use only less than 5 minutes...dang....landscape photography this is....
Saw this Spare while setting up my tripod, so might as well include it because the foreground was a little empty..and I have very limited time.. I swear I'll get out earlier next time.....
Thanks for watching! reposting 16.12.2012 sorry : P

Get Pushed: I was paired with PKcam for R25. Her push was:
Because your shots of others are so intriguing, I'm going to use that as part of the challenge. We all go through struggles, high moments, low moments, etc. The only constant is change. For you I would like you to convey where you are in your life right now (whether it is how you are feeling on the day you are shooting, or a frame of mind you've been in for a particular period of time up until now) by recognizing it in others and capturing it for the viewer. Perhaps this could be seen as an abstract self portrait. If you would like to do it as a diptych or triptych that is okay as well.
This was both difficult and intriguing. Above is the result. I have been away from home for a long time - almost a year. I returned a week ago. I should be happy. I won't explain more than that; the shot should stand on its own. But I am interested in what people think the feeling is - so by extension how successful I was in capturing it.
How you could imagine there is much green in the Black Forest ... joy for soul and heart.

Abajo está la quebrada de Huaripampa donde acampamos la noche anterior y se ve el sendero que conecta el paso Punta Unión con Vaquería.

Oh, I'm so excited to post you this 'cause I think this is my favorite piece so far. Yesterday came into my mind that we incidentally have a loft... a really big one actually. My dad helped to get up there... it was gorgeous - but really dusty, I have to admit. I spent 1,5 hour up there and when I came down in the light, I looked so awful that even I was afraid of myself. Anyway, I'm really content with this and hope you'll like it too. Reminds me of one of my first shots... this one.

The skyline of San Francisco's famous financial district as seen from Pier 14 during evening nautical twilight. This was shot during our Night Eyes Photo Workshop last night with fellow instructor Matt Granz. We were showing our class the many interesting subjects along the waterfront, including the ferry building tower and Sinbad's sign. It is a lovely sight indeed from the end of the pier.
To the far right, one can see the Embarcadero Towers and the tip of the Transamerica building poking up from behind. To the left, more great skscrapers including some elegant condos. Just out of frame to the left is the West anchorage of the Bay Bridge.
My title is a play on the old 1930's song, "Moon Over Miami"
I used the O-GPS1 accessory to plot my exact location on the map.
Lens is the Sigma 10-20 at 10mm. This photo got to #3 on EXPLORE 8/26/12. Thanks!!

The Aiguille du Midi (3,842 m) is a mountain in the Mont Blanc massif in the French Alps.
The cable car to the summit, the Téléphérique de l'Aiguille du Midi, was built in 1955 and held the title of the world's highest cable car for about two decades. It still holds the record as the highest vertical ascent cable car in the world, from 1,035 m to 3,842 m. There are two sections: from Chamonix to Plan de l'Aiguille at 2,317 m and then directly, without any support pillar, to the upper station at 3,777 m (the building contains an elevator to the summit). The span of the second section is 2,867 m measured directly, but only 2,500 m measured horizontally. Thus it remains the second longest span width, measured directly. The tramway travels from Chamonix to the top of the Aiguille du Midi – an altitude gain of over 2,800 m – in 20 minutes. An adult ticket from Chamonix (as of 9/5/2012 to 30/11/2012) is €52.20 return.
The Aiguille summit contains a panoramic viewing platform, a cafe and a gift shop. The Vallée Blanche ski run begins here, and the nearby Cosmiques Refuge is the starting point for one of the routes to the Mont Blanc summit. From the Aiguille another cable car (summer months only), the Vallee Blanche Aerial Tramway crosses the Glacier du Geant to Pointe Helbronner (3,462 m) at the Italian side of the Mont Blanc Massif. Pointe Helbronner is served with a cable car from La Palud, a village near Courmayeur in the Aosta Valley (Italy).

The pass where I stood for taking this photo (col des Grangettes), 2684m, can be accessed from both sides. When you reach this pass, coming from the other side (see here the view from the other side), and that you suddently discover this wonderful scenery, it is a big shock! I did this hike several times, it is among my favorite ones...

These always remind me of prickly lollipops. They're dipsacus, also known as teasel plants. I love the way these look backlit -- their prickliness really comes out.

Man this place was some good medicine.
I wish I could have taken you all with me to savor it.
The weather and the light were amazing.
My soul feels like it just got the best massage.
My mind feels so much clearer.
My body is restored.
If you can ever get up to Michigan's Upper Peninsula and see Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore you will be doing your soul a favor.
There's something about the majestic beauty of the Earth itself.
It gives us a really good perspective.
I'm so glad that I could share this picture with you.
I hope it's a bright spot in your day.
Love and light.
Fall migrants and post-breeding dispersal birds start moving through Central Florida in June, although peak songbird migration isn't until late September. I found this Prairie Warbler flycatching in my yard this summer. It would fly out into a pack of small flies, nab one and return to the same branch. It did this repeatedly for about five minutes, which made for some nice photo opportunities.

Since 2009, The Economist has rated Vancouver the world’s “most livable city”!
Read more about the Most Livable Cities in 2011 here.
Estimated at 2.3 million people, Vancouver, British Columbia is Canada’s third largest metropolitan area of Canada after Toronto and Montréal.
Some trivia from Wikipedia.org states:
Major film production studios in Vancouver and Burnaby have turned Metro Vancouver into the third-largest film production centre in North America after Los Angeles and New York City, earning it the film industry nickname, "Hollywood North."

For anyone that knows me well knows that my all time favorite target is The Andromeda Galaxy, for the last couple of years it has elluded me as I didn't have a suitable camera/scope combination to give me the right field of view for this target. All this is about to change now I have a TMB92SS.
So my first light target was an obvious one and here are the results from last night (or I should say the early hours this morning) using a one shot color QHY9C. I used an Astro Tech 2" field flattener with no reduction for the native focal length of 506mm, M31 is a very tight fit and stars in the far corners are producing coma, perhaps the backfocus needs tweaking. As this is only a test I'm not too worried as ultimately I will be using a Field Flattener with reducer, I have an AT .8 FF/FR and an Optec .8 FF/FR which I hope to test when we next get some clear skies.
I was pretty happy with the results. Keep tuned here for much much more of M31! :)
Total Exposure Time 3.25 hours.

Nel Giardino dei ricordi
.
La tristezza, riempie quei tuoi occhi
di lacrime amare e cristalline,
come briciole di sogni ghiacciati
scivolano sul tuo candido vestitino.
Impietoso il buio avvolge le ultime ombre,
e i tuoi pensieri si turbano, tremante
il tuo cuore si intristisce, diventi sola,
fredda, ti confondi nel manto oscuro della notte.
Sospiri, ogni istante di noi e…. sorridi
sogni profondi coi tuoi dolci pensieri
ma sei oramai li, nel magnifico mondo,
nel giardino dei ricordi.

In the Garden of memories
.
The sadness, fills those your eyes
tears of love and crystal clear,
as bits of frozen dreams
slip on your white dress.
Harsh darkness envelops the last shadows,
and your thoughts are troubled, trembling
your heart is sad, you become one,
cold, are you confused in the dark mantle of night.
Signing, and every moment of us .... smile
sweet dreams with your deep thoughts
but are they now, in the wonderful world,
in the garden of memories.

Well it is absolutely awesome to be able to have the time to post my images on Flickr. I have been away for too long to care but I'm not completely out (yet).
A shot from my recent travels to places far and wide.. from some of the most amazing landscapes that I was fortunate to visit, experience and capture.
This scene of the double-humped camels from the cold desert in the Nubra valley in Ladakh, which is up North of India in the state of Kashmir reminds of the how the silk route traders used to traverse the very location many hundred years ago. It was fascinating.

I'll catchup with you guys very soon.

Sambaqui é um bairro e uma praia de Florianópolis, dista cerca de 17 km do centro de Florianópolis, e sua praia tem 1,10 km de extensão.
O nome provém da existência de amontoados de conchas espalhadas pelas areias da praia, as quais às vezes revelam animais fossilizados, bem como resquícios de antigas comunidades indígenas da região.
Foi o lugar escolhido pelos primeiros imigrantes açorianos, em meados do século XVIII, para fixar residência na Ilha. Mar tranquilo com um cenário deslumbrante e um pôr do sol inesquecível. Possui uma vista panorâmica da Baía Norte e do Continente. A pesca ainda é tradicional, incluindo o cultivo de ostras. Para quem busca tranqüilidade e uma paisagem encantadora, há muitos bares a beira mar e vários restaurantes.

After three weeks of having no camera I finally got out shooting again on Thursday. This is very much a test shot - I feel like I'm starting again, having to learn again. This is a 3 shot vertorama taken with a 24mm PC/E lens on my replacement D700. I've always wanted an PC/E but with a cropped sensor of my D300 it didn't really make sense, but now I've gone full frame - well it was the first thing on my kit list.
So why am I starting again, well its a new camera for me, but in operation its not hugely different to my old D300. No its the PC/E which is the difference - and particular one aspect. I'm ashamed to say but I have never manually focussed in my life - never found the need to, even with night shots I'd shine a torch at what I wanted to focus on, or wander ahead and put a lantern down and focus on that - how embarrassing, but now I have no choice, so I need to practice and practice and practice - but actually looking forward to taking more control. Oh and there's the whole tilt and shift to learn too - and knowing how much shift to apply
As for the shot - its of the new cable (Emirates Airline to give it its proper name) car across the Thames from here at Royal Docks over to the O2 south of the river. Its a great journey 5 minutes across - with spectacular views across east London including the Dome and Canary Wharf - and only £3.20 one way - a bargain when you consider the cost to head upo the Shard.

Get Pushed: For R24 I got paired with www.flickr.com/photos/edsonmatthews . Here is the push he gave me:
"I notice you have a lot of really organic, free-flowing stuff. So, here's what I want you to do. I want you to find a place for a really excellent symmetry shot. Focus on getting those lines really perfect across the frame. If you're up for an extra challenge, see if you can work in--in a delicate way--one of those organic elements as a nice piece of minimalism among all that structure. I look forward to seeing what you'll produce."
This river runs next to my apartment in Beijing. I thought it would be a good place to try. It's probably less symmetrical and more organic than he (or to be honest I) intended. But I'm pleased with the result - it's a shot I probably wouldn't have taken without the push.
