A fog bound lake Vyrnwy, North Wales and the Vyrnwy tower. The Straining tower, stands 160ft tall, in 50ft of water. So named as the tower incorporates a metal mesh wire to strain the water and remove deposits, before the water enters a viaduct and travels to Manchester. The tower built around 1890, has the appearance of a fairy tale castle, it is linked to the shore by an arched bridge, just seen in the photo.
This is a composite of 4 HDR triplets (12 frames in all) taken with the DJI Phantom III Professional, from the top of the hill that climbs up out of the end of Langdale, towards Blea Tarn. I only went up to about 50ft as it was blowing a gale!
(008/365) In 2020 as part of a Wexford County Council Initiative called ‘Kickstarting New Ross’ aimed to bring positivity to New Ross town during the pandemic, New Ross Municipal District secured funding and procured the internationally renowned ‘Walls Project’ to curate a series of 5 major murals on high profile buildings in the town. Happy Wednesday Walls! You can see the other murals here

This mural is by Dutch artist Nina Valkhoff, she created a fantastic image of a Norman warrior woman and her horse towering 50ft high. The SE of Ireland has a rich Norman heritage thenormanway.com/
Glencar Waterfall is 50ft high and is situated in Glencar Lough, it is very impressive after rain. There are more waterfalls visible from the road although none is quite as romantic as this one.
A delightful Easter Sunday, went to visit some friends on thier narrowboat, I assisted with many locks and navigated thier 50ft boat along the twists and turns of the Shropshire Union Canal, the weather was that good I even got a tan.
The village of Garrigill is located approximately 5 miles from Alston and just to the east of it there is a deep gorge and an impressive tumbling Ashgill Burn.
Ashgill Force is the main waterfall located directly below an arched road bridge. The waterfall has a 50ft drop and it is possible to walk behind it due to the erosion of the rocks.
Slightly downstream from the main waterfall are a series of other smaller falls.
Last image to be processed from Fridays outing to Cromer on the North Norfolk coast. Shows how bad the tidal surge was, apparently even worse the night before.

The arched road bridge is visible at the top of this picture along with the faint signs of a rainbow on the right hand side of it. Unfortunately the rainbow disappeared as quickly as it came and was replaced by heavy rain so I never actually got to capture the main waterfall - a good reason for a return trip.
One of the target subjects for my recent trip to Texas was the Golden-cheeked Warbler - a beautiful little bird that only breeds in the juniper-oak woodlands of the Texas Hill Country.
I had several people tell me to go to Lost Maples State Natural Area to look for them (which I did). While I did see the species at Lost Maples (and it is a really wonderful place to go birding), I found Kerr WMA to be a much better location to photograph this species (i.e. eye-level on short juniper trees rather than 50ft up in the tops of big oaks growing along the sides of a canyon).
Because what could be more soothing than a sunrise with kittens? This one's for you Ruth!

Another view of Dolbardan Castle.
The Castle is 50ft / 15.2 metres.
Today the site is dominated by the sturdy round tower, very different in style to the unmortared slate slabs which make up the Castle's curtain walls.

Inscription on the plaque below the bell on the right side of the photograph above:
Organized on July 7, 1802 by Samuel McGee and Joseph Coons with Thomas McBride as the first moderator, the church was established by members from the Roaring River Baptist Church. The original church was located approximately one mile north of this location and was sometimes referred to as Blackburn's Fork Baptist Church. The church began in the Green River Association but transferred to the Stockton Valley Association in 1805. Spring Creek is currently in the Union Association of The Baptist.
The last log structure was built in 1867 and was known as "Twelve Corners". The 30ft x 50ft structure was made with a 6ft x 8ft offset, thus creating twelve corners. The log structure was torn down in 1912 and a new, framed church was built in the exact location and stood until 1938. At this time, the structure was dismantled and the lumber donated to the Mount Union Methodist Church. The Baptist and Methodist shared the new church until 1953, the date the present church was erected.
This monument was dedicated July 14, 2002 commemorating Two Hundred years of service to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

I spent Monday and Tuesday evening at Venice Beach and on both occasions, didn't move more than 50ft in any direction. There's one sweet spot that angles away from the pier that to me is just about perfect. This is roughly 7 city blocks from Venice Pier in the direction of Santa Monica and I almost always find free street parking along Pacific Avenue. Most people seem to either stay closer to Venice pier and boardwalk or closer to Santa Monica Pier which is perfectly fine with me. I can fit the entire pier in to the left, get a wide, clean view of the ocean, get reflections in all directions and also shoot the sunset.
I was pretty overwhelmed with this location when I first came to shoot here back in January and despite trying hard to stay focused and efficient with my shooting, I always ended up going for quantity over quality in the hopes that I'd get a good amount of useful images. My failures to take my time and properly compose a shot led to under exposed images, poor attempts at panoramas and blurry silhouettes. Many though used bad settings since I've never shot like this before and was still only about a year and a half into teaching myself manual photography from scratch. I had zero experience shooting the ocean like this, I'd never attempted a panorama and never had a mirror like shoreline with perfect reflections to work with. So, yeah...overwhelmed. Throw in the very short winter days and quick sunsets and I clearly was trying to do way too much all at once.
At the time, I had been here for about a month and didn't know how long Scotch and I would stay so it seemed necessary to get as many shots as possible. When it became apparent that Scotch and I were likely staying permanently, I vowed to work on my patience. My goal was to improve or at least learn something each time I went out to shoot, even if that meant a wasted trip practicing a new technique. I ended up going months and months without seeing an impressive sunset or at least zero warning of one and would get frustrated when a gross, hazy day would suddenly turn into a few minutes of great color. There's no where west I can get to in a hurry from Hollywood, at least no places I know of. I'm talking about unobstucted west facing locations within say 10 minutes or so.
Monday came and the cloudy forecast held up and Venice was pretty much perfect, even if I got here an hour later than I wanted. For this shot, I went without neutral density filters and just used a circular polarizer. This was an unplanned panorama which happened a few times when I was looking through the LCD adjusting focus and saw people wander in at 10x magnification. I got very lucky with this because they were just leaving frame as I finished focusing and I had backed up a bit while keeping the lens at 18mm. There was great color just about those rocks (and was a bit to the left where that vivid sunset happened a little later) and I had planned to just get a few quick frame shots and pick then the best wave of the bunch but seeing this father and son all alone on the beach made me happy I was standing where I was. I fired off immediately and had just enough time to pan a bit left to barely get them in the frame. It's a tad darker than I was hoping for but that's how an unplanned panorama works I guess. the next time I go to Venice, my primary attention will be on this one spot to mainly take 2 shot panoramas with people in frame and in focus. It's hard to get the waves to match up right sometimes but if I shoot enough sets, some will work out I think :)

This summer I took my first trip to Lands End, and while the place is increasingly commercialised and busy (particularly in the summer) if you walk just a little way along the coast, the crowds thin and you are treated to some of the very best coastal landscape in the UK.
This image was taken on my second visit. The Longships Lighthouse is an Iconic feature a mile off Lands End. You could be forgiven for thinking its continually subjected to monstrous storms and battered by 50ft waves that a lot of photographs tend to feature.
On my visit it couldnt have been more different. The sea was almost a mill pond it was so calm, and after sunset the sky illuminated pink in such a striking fashion you wouldn't think it was real!

This photo was taken with a bit of risk, I had to stand on the parapet 50ft up!
Today Im releasing my latest body of work, Take Flight Volume 1 - The Badlands From Above This is my first major release of the year and my first since last fall. This is a personal project that I started last September. It has been a challenging, but yet very rewarding gallery to put together. I basically had to learn how to capture and process these images from scratch, in a sense basically learning how to shoot again. It was all new. For me, I've always felt that there was a lot of potential out there with aerial views from the drone that could be unique, and yet still be creative at the same time. I drew early inspiration from Alex Noriega and Kane Engelbert. Those two guys showed the possibilities with the drone. But National Geographic Photographer, George Steinmetz’s images from the air from remote and unique places is what really had my mind going. There was the what if, or what’s that, or the can you, is what kept going through my mind. A form of self discovery if you will.....imagery that you could call your own. I can't tell you how nice it's been just flying around seeing areas that no one has seen from the air yet alone from the ground. The perspectives from the air are just insane. Capturing these scenes wasn’t an easy task, let alone learn how to process the files. From the air, I try to apply the same compositional concepts that I’d normally use. I want the images to have some type of visual flow regardless of how bizarre the landscape looks from the air. I hear all these people questioning the integrity of the drone files. Yes, the files aren't like our DSLR's, but I've made plenty of images that I would have no problem printing a 20x30’s of. With the processing of these files, you have to have a "gentle" hand. The files go south quick if not handled accordingly. It took me months to get comfortable with the handling files to my liking. For the first several months I didn't feel my processing was all that great. I had many frustrating nights trying to figure out what the hell I was doing. It was definitely a struggle.
The perspectives of these scenes will vary quite a bit. I can't even begin to tell you guys how much time I've spent combing over Google Earth searching for locations to explore/shoot. To be quite honest, that's pretty much how I learned how to fly my drone. The images I’ve made from the drone vary from many different heights ranging from 50ft, to well over 1000ft. Let me be VERY clear, I DO NOT recommend flying at any heights above 400ft. Unlike shooting with our regular cameras, when you go flying with the drone there are so many factors that you have to take into consideration before you fly. There’s no fly zones, limited flying time due to battery life(15 - 22 minutes, 25 minutes is pushing it), flight distances, very very detailed flight planning, weather conditions....mainly the wind, which freaking sucks, navigation of your drone, and to put it simply, it is plain nerve racking flying the drone. When all these alerts get to popping up all over your screen, the stress level goes up like you wouldn't believe. Oh, and don't even get me started on the dreaded disconnected grey screen in mid flight thousands of feet away.
So there you have it, that's what I've been doing for the past 9 months! It has been so exciting, so refreshing, and something I needed to get me going creatively again. It has been a struggle, but again, it’s something that I needed to go through. To see all of these images together is like a achievement award to myself.....like you did it, you made it happen! The struggle was real. To give you guys a little more detail on how busy I’ve been, here’s my totals according to my flight records.
*134 Flights
*38 hour flight time (consider 15-25 minutes per battery depending on travel distance)
*216 miles flown
*roughly 70-80 images made
Anyway, hope you guys like the images. I know its a lot to take in, but just sit back, take your time, view the images large, and enjoy the ride. Peace and Love to all you guys out there.
A majestic 50ft waterfall in the Kykesku area of Scotland. This is a very moody place and I processed it to reflect this. I also replaced the sky as it was grey and boring. I hope you like the result.
This big old white egret was perched atop the tree like a big Christmas Star at Lakewood Ranch in Bradenton Fl.

While no doubt the most well known lighthouse in Canada and one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world, the history of the light at Peggy's Cove is little known. Various versions account for the name. Peggy is the nickname for Margaret and the community may have acquired the name from nearby Saint Margaret's Bay, especially as the point marks the eastern entrance to the bay. Other accounts suggest Peggy was an early settler. A popular romantic version says a woman named Peggy was the only survivor of a shipwreck and there are even American families that even claim descent from the shipwrecked Peggy.
In any case, it was decided to erect a light to mark the eastern entrance to St. Margaret's Bay in 1868. While best known as "the Peggy's Cove Lighthouse", it was and remains, officially know as the Peggy's Point Lighthouse as its purpose is to mark the point, not the cove. The cove has its own small light on the government wharf. The first lighthouse was a wooden tower, built atop a keeper's dwelling at the point. It was a red light and used a catoptric reflector (a round silver-plated mirror) to magnify the kerosene oil lamp. The wooden tower, built atop a keeper's dwelling was replaced by the present tower in 1915, a pleasing and stout concrete octagon 50 feet west of the original light. The keeper's dwelling remained for many years nearby as did a tall flagpole displaying coded black cones and balls to warn of bad weather approaching. The new lighthouse showed a white light from a dioptric lens, a series of glass prisms, to magnify the light. Several colour and character changes followed, the most recent being the change from white to green in 1979 and red in 2009. Another very visible change (which helps date earlier colour photos) was in 1969 when the iron lantern on top of the tower was changed from white paint to red paint.

Crucial to their winter survival. This one is about 50ft off the ground. It will withstand all but the most serious preditors.
Made of leaves and lined with soft things such as lichens, moss, and hair. It gives you a lot of respect for the little critters.
Opened in 1875 the twin caissons transfer vessels 50ft vertically between the Trent and Mersey Canal and the Weaver Navigation at the lower level.
The Cyfyng Falls and Rapids on Afon Llugwy (River Llugwy) are immediately below the A5 Trunk Road in the hamlet of Pont Cyfyng one mile East of Capel Curig - home to Plas-y-Brenin the UK's National Outdoor Centre.
They can best be seen from the lay-by (again pictured here), as well as the lane further up the road on the left which crosses Afon Llugwy over the arched stone Pont Cyfyng.
The falls and rapids span roughly 100m starting just West of Pont Cyfyng. They then plunge some 100ft through an "S" Bend Steep Gorge beneath and East of the bridge (where I'm facing) - frequented by only the most experienced of canoeists due to its major hazards.
This final collage image - again taken from the road's lay-by and East of the over-bridge, highlights in more detail following on from the previous image, the two other 'Maelstrom Plunge Pools'. Here the river rapidly descends a further 50ft before levelling out to the bottom left of the lower image.
The Afon Llugwy (River Llugwy) is one of the main tributaries of the Afon Conwy (River Conwy) having its source at Ffynon Llugwy a lake in the Carneddau Mountains to the distant right. The River's confluence is some further 3 miles downstream at Betws-y-Coed after first descending the famous and dramatic 'Swallow Falls'.

I always liked these CanFor box cars. The colors and scheme were simple but bright and they stood out in a train full of boxcar or tuscan red cars. I found this one, a 50ft plug door, on a sunny crisp February back in 1979 at the old Monon yard in Hammond, IN.
NVC101 doing a hard bank off of 26L after completing the 50ft low pass over the runway. These guys always put on a great show! And the best part is that it's free!
The original Withernsea Pier was completed in 1878. Over the years many ships colided with the pier until there was only 50ft remaining of the once grand pier.
The 15m (50ft) drop of the Clashnessie Falls stand out behind the handful of homes and pastures that make up the community of Clashnessie. This community stands at the end of the stunningly beautiful Assynt Peninsula. A very twisting and windy single track road skirts the periphery of the peninsula and is an interesting drive in a 7.5m motorhome.
When we visited the Abhainn Clais an Eas (Clashnessie River) was in full flow and the rain was just starting so that stopped me from crossing the stepping stones, so I could net get as close a look as I wanted to.
I did intend to send the drone up to get some images but the rain put a stop to that.
In 1999 this decommissioned lighthouse was moved 50ft away from the cliff edge on runners so that it would not disappear in the next rockfall.

Welsh castle and solitary guardian of Eryri's (Snowdonia’s) Llanberis Pass
Occupying a lofty, lonely spot overlooking the waters of Llyn Padarn, native-built Castell Dolbadarn was once a vital link in the defences of the ancient kingdom of Gwynedd. Most likely constructed by Llywelyn ap Iorwerth (Llywelyn the Great) in the late 12th or early 13th century, it stood watch over the strategic route inland from Caernarfon to the upper Conwy Valley.
Today the site is dominated by the sturdy round tower, very different in style to the unmortared slate slabs which make up the castle’s curtain walls. Standing 50ft/15.2m high, the tower’s design was probably inspired by that of similar fortresses built by Llywelyn’s rivals in the borderlands of the southern Marches.
I find Red Kites particular challenging to photograph. They just have this tendency to tease you, hovering 50ft in the air. Sure you can catch them with a rather blown background of the sky having over exposed a couple of stops for your subject; but to catch them in a dive or at ground level you have to be quick. For this series I just went hand held with a 200 f2 hunkered up in the Gilly suit. Suffice to say I got some strange looks!
Manchester's Chinese New Year celebrations get bigger and better every year, drawing tens of thousands of visitors into the city centre - here's one such visitor photographed in Chinatown, Manchester.
This year's Chinese New Year programme is the most diverse and innovative line-up the city has seen to date. By working collaboratively with a host of organisations and cultural venues, Manchester's four day spectacular will be one of the best places in Europe to welcome in the Year of the Monkey.
This year the celebrations will see new attractions across the city centre including a 50ft Giant Golden Dragon in Exchange Square, live street art by graffiti artists from Hong Kong, a Tsingtao Beer Ping Pong Bar and premium Asian Street Food Village on New Cathedral Street.

Got incredibly lucky while looking for some birds. We heard some rustling in the bushes near the water line and started seeing frogs jumping into the water, trying to escape from a mystery animal. After tracking it for a good 50ft it finally popped out! I’ve never seen one in person and consider a highlight of the month.
