Here's my take on the nights festivities at Shiprock in New Mexico. Wayne Pinkston, Sandra Herber, Chris Wrey, Willa Wei, Huibo Hou, and Wenjie Qiao and I, all converged on this formation with some serious intent on one very windy chilly evening.

Hot tip of the day!!! :)

I always keep a full-size carabiner attached to the handle on My Tamrac Expedition7 camera pack and a mini titanium carabiner attached to the hook on my tripod, and this was one of those rare times that I had to attached my camera pack to my tripod. :)

I spent a few mornings here one week back in October when we had the best misty mornings and I had to get out there as much as possible. This morning the mist was very thick across the lake but I liked the way it made the other side of the lake recede.

Thank you all for your visits, faves & comments. Manual setup, manual focus, available light, handheld. Hope, you enjoy!

This cut-leaf beech was, and still is, my favourite tree in our local park. I've taken many pictures of it in the past, when its beautiful boughs almost touched the ground, making a splendid shape.

Recently, the 'Management' decided to cut off the lower branches, drastically reducing its magnificence and majesty. They will never, ever grow back. This is what is left. Still beautiful, still majestic, in all its autumnal glory. But .... it just isn't 'right' now. Many feel so sad - and remember the way it used to be, before they injured it.

One of only two cut-leaf beeches in the park.

A picture of this beauty taken in 2010 is in the first comment box.

Thank you, Kerstin Frank and Lenabem-Anna for your beautiful textures.

A cow elk seems just as intent at getting away from this bull as he is at getting close to her.

Just finished booking our trip to Yellowstone, Grand Tetons and Rock Mountain National Parks for this fall so I thought I would post something of what I hope to see when we go.

Have a blessed weekend!

Thank you so much for your views and comments - they are greatly appreciated!

Al llegar la tarde los últimos rayos de luz acarician las piedras, el efímero volumen desaparece y la noche llega. Perfecto atardecer en los campos del sur de Badajoz, colores especiales tanto en el pasto como en el cielo, luces mágicas que te envuelven, y un mundo entero para soñar. Lugar perfecto donde perderte para encontrarte a ti mismo.

Muchas gracias a tod@s, que tengáis una buena semana :D

Thanks a lot for all, have a nice week!! :D

I finish the year with this photograph in the hope of returning with the camera and good company.

The Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in South-West Iceland from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk . It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes on its 55 km (34 mi) path. The route is typically completed over 2–4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur. An ultramarathon is held on the route each July. It is possible to combine the trek with the Fimmvörðuháls route which goes over the pass from Þórsmörk to Skógar for an additional one or two days or an additional 25 km (16 mi). Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, and Skógar are all reachable by bus during the summer. A bus from Hella connects with Álftavatn once a day during the summer.

I joined Chris Dodds and some other great photographers at the Pond at Elephant Head to shoot some bats this past September. It's quite an experience. Despite technical difficulties that seemed to plague me, I still came away with some pictures I'm proud of. This bat was captured by setting your camera to take a picture every 10 seconds. A beam is set up across a small (read small "very" small") pond which triggers the flash as a bat crosses the beam. You end up with a lot of black images and some wonderful keepers. I'll post an example of the other set up which uses a flower the bats love and triggers for both camera and flash.

Although it was cloudy on the morning I visited Moraine Lake, I was still able to see why it's so popular - it's just a stunning location.

I might have enjoyed it even further if I'd take the path around the back of the rock wall at the base of the lake, instead of climbing it from the front!!

A long exposure, bracketed exposure, landscape image of the Vestrahorn at Stokksnes in eastern Iceland.

I have seen a couple of black and white images of this location recently so decided to try a different treatment of one of my images taken back in October. I wanted to retain some of the colour of the grass without doing a selective colour, which I never like, so went with some split-toning to try to achieve that effect.
