"In the shadow of the city, the light glows brightest."
I took this shot right before I left for Hawaii and I felt like taking a break from seascapes. I went for 6 shots with the camera in the portrait position. I overlap by about 1/5 of a frame when capturing the panoroma. I do this because when it comes time to stitch, I want as much source image as possible to sample from to take out those infamous trails in the water from the constant ferry, coastguard, and freighter traffic around the island. I do my stitching in Photoshop CS5 on the “reposition” setting. After the rendering is complete, I look for the seams and then I overlay the original source image on top of the panoramic image and mask in where the seams are visible. At least with lines in the water, after you get the knack of it, its quite forgiving. Sometimes the reflections can make it look like there's a seam where there isn't because of the way light hits the miniwaves and currents. The hard stuff is when you have a weird seam on hard structures such as building and bridges. The reason for this is in water or sky, often you can mask away the hard line in the seam at 100% opacity then feather it out by reducing the opacity of your brush. You can’t do that for hard objects, if you do you’ll wind up with transparent building and the like - not too pretty. I’m definitely better at the process than I was a year ago, so its all practice. Don’t forget to zoom in at 100%+ to look for the smallest seams. Panoramas can be ton’s of pixels and even the smallest seam gets big once you’ve printed it 20x60 inches!
The side-effects to using 7 shots to create the panorama is that it takes 3 min to make all the exposures and the light will change during that time unless a pure nighttime shot. To accentuate this I started on the right side where I knew it would be brightest (also where most of the ocean traffic comes from so you can stay ahead of them) and moved to the left. I did play with ISO slightly to adjust exposure as I panned left to keep the things close in terms of brightness. But I wanted it to be dark and glowy on the left. If you don’t, or have different lighting situations, pan the other way for more even light - you’ll start in the dark area when it’s brightest and move to the light area when it’s darkest. Changing the ISO only changes the noise level and not water smoothness (shutter speed) nor DoF (aperture) and with the 5D II, anything below 320 looks very very similar unless when viewed at 100+%.
Thanking you in advance for your views/comments/favs =)
This was the sunrise over Seattle this morning, my friends. It was one of the most phenomenal sunrises I had seen in months. You can see Mount Rainier, Washington State’s tallest mountain (and dormant volcano) that dominates the horizon on unbelievably clear days such as this one.
An impromptu decision to curtail my morning workout at the gym gave way to serendipity, which led me to capture this image today. If I had followed my regular routine this morning, I would have completely missed this.
This image was taken from the balcony of my apartment. Enjoy!

I love our northern light, with its softness of tone and colour. Near objects, like the stones above, appear sharp and detailed whilst those only slightly distant are hazily soft and recede in paleness.

*Crummock Water is two and a half miles long, three quarters of a mile wide and 140ft deep. The River Cocker is considered to start at the north of the lake, before then heading into Lorton Vale. The hill of Mellbreak runs the full length of the lake on its western side; as Alfred Wainwright described it 'no pairing of hill and lake in Lakeland have a closer partnership than these'.
It is owned by the National Trust.

Here is another shot from our trip to the backwaters in Kerala. this is what people living in these areas see on a daily basis. The beautiful Sunset across the array of coconut tress makes for an enchanting scene and for me, a first time visitor to this part of the world, it was nothing less than magical.
On the technical front, I'm not completely happy with this image. The light was too harsh and was difficult to handle the exposure. This is the best I could achieve after processing it but some good GND filters would have made my life easier and I'm planning to invest in them something soon.
Have a wonderful day ahead, my friends.

Even if the water rises to consume us, I will love you.
Even if the might of the skies envelope us with anger, I will love you.
Even if the wind blows us to directions far and unreachable, I will love you.. forever.

La Torre de Celas es el único resto que se conserva de una fortaleza medieval construida en el siglo XIV. Fue destruida por los Irmandiños y reconstruida en el siglo XV, siendo sus propietarios más ilustres los Condes de Andrade.
En la actualidad solo queda en pie la torre, con doce metros de altura; restaurada en 1992, es sede del Museo Etnográfico del Ayuntamiento de Culleredo.
La Torre de Celas is what remains of a medieval fortress built in the 14th century; it was destroyed by the "Irmandiños" and rebuilt in the 15th century.
At present there is only the tower left, twelve metres high; restaured in 1992, it is the Ethnographic Museum of Culleredo.

Instantanea tomada junto al puente "neuf" sobre el rio "Agoût" que refleja en sus
aguas los colores de las viviendas colgantes, que dan un toque magistral a esta
encantadora ciudad francesa.
Para captar todo el ancho del rio, y la gran profundidad de campo hacia el puente
viejo, utilizé una lente ultra gran angular, "Sigma 10 ÷ 20 mm EX DC"
El mejor momento para "inmortalizar" este bellisimo paraje, es durante las puestas
de sol, donde las ultimas luces hacen proyectar el cielo, las nubes y los colores de
las casas en las placidas aguas del Agoût, brindando un momento fotografico unico.
# Para esta toma:
Canon EOS 400D Digital + Sigma 10 ÷ 20 mm EX DC
# Obturación: 1/125 seg. ~ Diafragmado: f/ 4 ~ 200 ISO ~ WB: Manual.
# Filtro polarizador.

Es la primera obra escultórica de lenguaje moderno instalada en un espacio público de la ciudad. Como ocurrirá posteriormente, su transgresión formal provocará un vivo debate entre los gijoneses de esta época. Actualmente, es uno de las esculturas más características de la ciudad, con un fuerte sentido simbólico. Situada en el Paseo del Rinconín, la Madre mira al mar, hacia el que alcanza degarradoramente una de sus manos. Muriedas intentó plasmar en ella el sufrimiento de tantas asturianas y gijonesas que vieron como sus hijos debían partir en busca de una vida mejor.

A little bit of autumn color for you ... before winter gets here!! I have so many autumn photos I took before I left for my Yosemite trip. I spent a few hours at a local nature center. I was the only one there; the light & the colors fabulous!!
Happy "Fall Color" Monday!
Taken from my hotel room on the 22nd floor of the Cerulean Tower Hotel in Shibuya , Tokyo .
The Hotel actually had 40 floors on the elevator so I asked the concierge in my most polite japanese if it was possible for me to go higher up to make a photo ?
He said I could from the restaurant but it opens at 11am and unfortunately I had to leave at by 7.30 for the airport . I can only imagine how spectacular that view must have been. Shikata ga nai !
Finally I got a change to enjoy my seascape fetish for couple of days. A successful weekend trip with my friend Örvar Atli to the north of Iceland, visiting some "hidden gems" and less visited places of our part.
Ernan is a shipswreck at Borgarsandur, near Sauðárkrókur in Skagafjörður, north Iceland. The remaining ship is only visible on low tide, so for successful photography it's pretty hard to plan to visit it during sunset/sunrise unless having the tide figured out also. So it's really a hidden gem.

When founded in 1781, the city you see here was coined “El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles”, or "The Town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels”. It was a northern city of what was then known as “New Spain”, which is present-day Mexico. At the time of establishment by Los Pobladores (“the townspeople”), LA had an initial population of 48 people.
230 years later, that population is now 3.8 million. LA is the second largest city in the USA, and the 48th most populous city in the world.
New images of LA are now available in the “LATEST HITS” section of TIA’s official website.

A temple snuck in at the junction of the hillsides. An oddment in Ladakh as there is no Hindu population large enough to build temples. You have Buddhists in majority and they have their monasteries to go to. There are few Moslems and that is all.
This is a temple located enroute to Pangongtso and lies at the base of the actual climb to the Changla Pass. The deft touch of hybrid construction and assimilation with Buddhism is all there to see. The prayer flags in red, yellow, blue and white fluttering briskly in the cold breeze are the visible hallmarks of Buddhist temples.
Peace and Prayers flow everywhere, religions are localized. These makeshift temples are courtsey the Army and there you have the Hindu population for you.

My husband was concerned, the sky was very dark then maybe we would not see sunset in Naples, he had already visited the city and the beaches, but for my sister Miriam, my son, Jose Luis and I, it was our first time, I I told him that the sun would beat the clouds and as we expected this time of sunset, the boat gave us this picture worthy of retention and remember in our hearts.
I did not use textures here just added my signature with my photoshop program.
