Another from our recent trip to Embo, in the North East Highlands of Scotland. With the highlands, being the highlands, we got all 4 seasons in one week... you've seen one of the calm days... here's one where the sky was a wee bit more angry.
No sunsets over the water on the east coast, so had to find a rock out in the sea to precariously balance tripod and my not insignificant frame, to shot back across the beach towards the sun. This was after the sun had dipped below the horizon. Invested in a pair of wellies after getting a royal soaking on this one :-)

“...Se alzó espantao un carancho
de la dormida cumbrera
y el viento encrespó en la tarde
un remolino de ausencias...
¡Qué rancho pa' estar de noche
bautizando las estrellas!
¡Qué campo con el rocío
pa’ desvelar las vigüelas!...”

The concept of "foreground interest" doesn't really seem to be my thing. But, trying here to see if a very uneventful sky can be balanced by at least some kind of "event" going on in the foreground :-)
Have a great weekend everyone!

Sunset outing with Jeffie www.flickr.com/photos/jeffiebrown/ and also accompany by a lots of mosquitoes (lols) yesterday (its past 12am in my place now) at Tanjung Aru Beach, Kota Kinabalu Sabah.
Spiral staircase leading to the 'Café Glockenspiel' in Munich.
I took several shots of this staircase from different angles, but this one is my favorite, because of the bit of wall which is still visible on the right side (looked strange when i cut it off a few shots earlier) and because of the intersecting railings.
Technique/Processing
I took 2 shots, 2EV apart from each other. The first one already had dialed in an exposure correction of +1EV, because i wanted to retain the bright walls. The upper part of the staircase had to be replaced (manual blending) with the one from the -2EV exposure, because it was completely white.
I did NOT use a tripod, but hand held it again, having to use ISO 7200 (!!!) to get the bright look. I was really excited, that the lavender wall color came out so nicely at this high ISO setting

The last day of Songkran festival is here.
Thailand is wet and ready for a new year.
This man here is working on the Erawan Shrine in Bangkok.
The most important shrine for the thais and you can believe me, tons of flowers, candles and incense sticks are laid down all day by the thai Buddhists, coming to this place to pray for good business and success.
So this man is doing an important job, he grabs all flowers and the other stuff and making space for new ones.
I like the hand of him, I catched in this shot.
HaPPY GoRGeouS GReeN THuRSDaY all of you !!!

Let's move from Prague to Munich :)
After Prague we went to Munich on short notice
Station Georg-Brauchle-Ring of the U1 line.
Info
Georg-Brauchle-Ring is an U-Bahn station in Munich on the U1. It is located below the Georg-Brauchle-Ring, part of Munich's Mittlerer Ring ring road system. It opened on 18 October 2003. Artist Franz Ackermann produced two coloured walls for the station entitled The Great Journey and consisting of 400 panels, each wall weighing 30 tons
Technique/Processing
Handheld - only 1/15s this time - so no problem at ISO 1000 - i really love the ISO Auto function of the D700 - you can concentrate on the subject instead of having to adjust your exposure/ISO every time.
Developed from RAW in Photoshop - one exposure for the lights (especially the clocks - they were completely white out of cam) and one for the rest and then combined them by layer masking.
A little contrast added, by applying a slight S-curve.
After that i added some 'glamour glow' to the lights on the ceiling and their reflections to make them look softer.

Thanks everyone for your visit, comments, critiques, fave,invite..etc. I really appreciate it.
On this occasion, the wally was me! Why? For forgetting to take my Lumix off the rock on the bottom right of the image when I was taking it :p I've cloned it out now of course :)
Also cloned out the big buoy between the island and mainland (see previous picture), as well as the dust bunnies I've got, and had to straighten the lighthouse as well as the 10-20mm at 10mm doesn't half have some distortion :)
Oddly enough the colour is the one thing I've not touched in post-pro, I spent far too much time (ok 10 minutes) cloning out the camera, buoy and straightening the lighthouse that I was fedup already by then).

This is one of the old buildings little m and I saw on our road trip to eastern WA this past weekend. Did some blurring of the clouds to make this amazing structure stand out. Had some help from expert editor vinny , thanks Vinny! Out of all the old structures we saw, I have to say this was in my top two for interest. I will be photographing some spring flowers soon for all you color lovers out there. Will be stopping by your streams tomorrow. And as always thanks for your visit :) Don't forget to play a trick on someone you love today!

Mexico City International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de México or AICM), also called Benito Juárez International Airport (IATA: MEX, ICAO: MMMX) is a commercial airport that serves Mexico City, the capital of Mexico. It is Mexico's and Latin America's busiest.
This hot and high airport offers direct flights to more than 100 destinations worldwide. In 2009, the airport served 24,243,056 passengers, a decrease of 7.5% compared with 2008, who received 26,210,217. This modest decline was mainly due to the global financial crisis and the outbreak of influenza. In optimal conditions, and with the current renovations and expansion projects completed, the Benito Juárez airport will be able to handle up to 32 million passengers per year.[3]. It provides non-stop services from Mexico City to North America, Central America and Caribbean, South America, Europe and Asia.

Honestly I LOVE THIS CITY.
Every detail of it is painted with this special touch. Everything is found a world city needs and you feel the fresh taste of new life everyday!
Ha I am getting poetic and this with my bad English. I am sorry :)

Having seen some great shots by some of my Contacts of this Future Systems building at 367 Oxford Street I know there's a lot of potential but every time I've walked past the building is in shade. I liked this one though as the chaotic composition seemed to reflect it's Oxford St context.

The jumping spider is typically found in tropic regions. The tropic regions that they are found in are very different, anywhere from the rain forest to the Himalayas. The jumping spider can be found anywhere in these climates, if its day the spider can be found on the ground, on rocks, in the grass, or on trees. At night or if it is raining, the jumping spider will hide under rocks or a small web.

Day 60 - March 1, 2010
Tonight I met up for the first time with long-time Flickr contact Dux and his future best man Mark. It was actually my first Flickr meet up with someone from the Philippines, my third of all time.
My first Flickr meet was with Adrian, Amanda and Stephanie back in November of 2009 when I visited Guam. The second this January with Ron when Adrian visited the Philippines.
Tonight's photo walk was very brief and more time was spent talking than shooting photos but it was alright, in fact that was all I really wanted to do tonight.
The cool thing about tonight is that even from this brief three-hour meet I could already sense that Dux & Mark are going to end up being really good friends, just like Adrian and the Guam gang have become to me. Flickr hasn't got it wrong yet!
Who wants to meet up next? And if you could meet up with any Flickr contact who would it be and why (you don't have to say me)?
PHOTO NOTES:
This is my first strobist attempt, but don't know if it counts since Dux set it up for me and even told me what the best camera settings would be. Here's the strobist info:
1. 430exII on lightstand with shoot through umbrella @1/32power; 50mm

Today I have been driving back to my hometown, the places where I have grown up. There comes a time in the year when I can really smell in the air the taste of spring coming up, and this was the day. I went there to take pictures of the sunset (which actually I did some), but on the other side of the horizon, I hesitated in front of an unexpected moonrise. It looked gorgeous, as the air was very clear. That awesome moon, floating on the top of my long-known hills, still lit by the last sunrays, started to pour a river of memories into my mind. I could not stop the superposition of fragments of those memories, just at random… the cans of cheap beer barely hidden and the first cigarettes stolen from our parents, the many dreams about our future lives and what we would have become, the first challenges of love, no worries about tomorrow and the uncertainty about the present time.
Tonight, for a handful of minutes, I felt again the same, just until the sun faded finally behind me.
Dedicated to all of those who look in depth at the details
PS: By the way, I don't smoke (anymore) but still like beer :) It helps to remember...
Oggi sono tornato nella mia città natale, i luoghi dove sono cresciuto. Arriva un momento, durante l’anno, in cui riesco veramente a sentire il profumo della primavera, nell’aria, e oggi era proprio quel giorno. Sono andato a fare fotografie del tramonto (e qualcuna in effetti l’ho scattata), ma dall’altra parte dell’orizzonte ho esitato davanti ad un inatteso sorgere di luna. Era impressionante, per l’aria molto tersa. Quella fantastica Luna, che galleggiava sopra alle mie colline note da sempre e illuminate ancora dagli ultimi barlumi di sole, mi riversava nella mente un fiume di ricordi. Non potevo arginare la caotica sovrapposizione di frammenti di memorie… Le lattine di birra a basso costo a malapena celate e le prime sigarette rubate ai genitori, i molti sogni sulle nostre vite future e su quello che saremmo diventati da grandi, le prime sfide dell’amore, la spensieratezza per il domani e l’incertezza del presente.
Stasera, per una manciata di minuti, ho provato esattamente quelle stesse cose, ancora una volta, fin quando il sole è finalmente tramontato dietro di me.
Dedicato a tutti coloro che guardano i dettagli in profondità
A proposito, non fumo (più) ma non dico di no ad una birra :) aiuta a ricordare...

Golden Gate Bridge from the Marin Headlands - Marin County, California
This morning I had planned on uploading something completely different, but when I saw the foggy conditions over the bay, I decided to head out to the same old spots along the Marin Headlands. As I have said before, I will never get sick of this view. It will never get old to me, and it will never be the same view twice. Sure... Some elements stay the same. The bridge will always be where it is. The places to stand and watch the fog roll in or out will stay the same, but the light, and fog will always change.
This morning the fog was a bit unusual. When I arrived up at the first turnout along the headlands, the fog was flowing east to west just underneath the center section of the bridge. The fog started to surround the north tower, which normally starts to clear as the air warms with the rising sun. Within minutes, the south tower started to become engulfed in the misty haze. The odd thing for me to see was the fog building inside the bay rather than rolling in from the Pacific. I know this has happened before, I have just never seen it in person.
So this is not exactly what I had planned for the day, but its a special view to me, and always will be.
Thanks for the views, comments, nice notes, bad notes, criticism, or whatever else you all can come up with....

I was strolling down the beach and chanced upon this odd looking tree. At that moment, I knew I found love. It is truly special that I spotted this on Valentine's Day although I don't celebrate it.
