A shot from a couple of months back from a vist to Blackpool and its busy beach, in view is the Blackpool tower, the 518 ft structure built 1894, inspired by the Paris Eiffel Tower, the central pier with attractions including the Ferris wheel, the coast wall with its curves and steps and the golden mile of lights that will have been lit later in the day as the key attraction, the Blackpool illuminations. It was a nice day and we had a lucky sky as shown.
Hope you are enjoying your festive season!

The Bend is finally here. I really wanted to take my time with this image. And I hope I didn't disappoint anyone, but there were a lot of feelings and emotions in this image and I wanted to make sure I got it all out. I will get to my thoughts and feelings in a minute, but like Miles M. says, if you are not a fan of my commentary quit reading at this point.
The Trip
Jave I have been talking about another bootcamp trip since the last one, and Jave's been itching to come out to the southwest for a while now. So we figured hey, why don't we go hit up Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon, and any other spots close to there. Either one of us had been to Horseshoe Bend or Antelope Canyon, so what the hell, lets go for it. Bootcamp Photography part 2 begins. Friday night Jave flies into Vegas. We sit and chat until about midnight, get a couple hours of sleep, and its off to AZ at 330 am. First stop, Zion National Park to meet up with the Zion killer John W. John has so many great images from Zion and Southern Utah that it makes me sick. Lucky bastard! We meet up with John and get skunked at Zion, but no biggie, that was a quick pit stop on the way to AZ. We head to AZ determined to catch some great light, although the skies were completely clear, and the forecast called for partly cloudy skies, our hopes for some great light were looking slim.
The Bend
We get to Page and meet up with Zia. Zia is the man you want to talk to for HUGE prints. We make our short hike to the Horseshoe Bend. Now, this is were all the emotions and everything else starts setting in. We are getting closer to the edge of the cliff, I'm guessing another 50 yards or so and Jave says "yo D, I'm scared of heights, what am I going to do?" I told him hold on, lets get to the edge first and see what's up. 10 to 15 feet from the edge is nothing, you can see the bottom of the canyon with no problems. 5 feet from the edge is like whoa.........scary. Less than 6 inches from the edge is SCARY beyond belief. I told Jave this is going to be tricky. He asks why..........I tell him to get the whole river in the frame, you MUST get inches away from the edge. I see the look in Jave's face like oh damn. It took me a good 15 minuets to convince Jave to come closer to the edge. I was scared myself, but we drove all this way to capture this amazing scene, it needed to be captured right and setting up close to the edge was the only way. The view is so amazing, its overwhelming to take it all in. The cliffs are super high and sketchy. I told him the easiest way to do this is, set all of our camera settings prior to setting up the tripod close to the edge.
set camera for auto bracketing - just in case, and for blending options
set ISO
get spirit level make sure horizon is straight as possible
set live view
keep my wireless remote in hand - this is a must at this location
set up graduated neutral density filter, I'm playing it safe with the hard edge 3 stop
take deep breaths before setting up close to the edge
now.........once I get everything set, I crawl closer to the edge, set up my tripod, set live view, and compose the image as best I can. I don't see all of the river in my live view..........damn it, I have to get even closer to the edge. I finally get all of the river in my live view screen, I'm ready to go. Wait........I have to place to grad accordingly. Ok, that's done. Now comes the wait. The clear skies slowly start to develop long streaking clouds coming from the east and heading west, we might be in luck. During this time I shot a small video clip to give everyone an idea of how we had to set up for our shot. I did some research, the drop from the rim to the canyon floor is 1000+ft. To kill time I lied down on the ground keeping my tripod within hands reach. There was no way I was going to be standing up looking over the edge waiting for the light to come. I just lay there just waiting patiently. The light is finally coming, we can tell that there is going to be some decent color this evening. Sure enough..............the light came. The sky was lighting up with all kinds of colors. It look like laser beams shooting across the sky. It was insane. Zia couldn't even believe the colors he was seeing. It was an unbelievable sight! The light came and it lasted 45 minuets after the sun passed the horizon. When we left, there was still color in the sky, and it was completely dark. I got the shots I wanted, once the light was gone and visibility was low, I was done. I wasn't sitting on the edge of that cliff any longer. It took a while for me to go to sleep that night. I was still fired up from the shoot, but I was in shock, and couldn't believe that I was that close to the edge to get that shot. My final thoughts on this image:
1. what are we doing?(us photographers) the things we do to get that shot.
2. I now understand why people do not get the whole river in the frame at this location.........they are scared to death, like I was, to set up their gear inches away from the rim of the canyon.
3. this IS by far........THE scariest place I've shot. Any images you see from here will not, prepare you for this place. It won't, you must witness the power of this place for yourself.
4. the most mentally challenging places I've shot.
5. I did it! ;-)
I wanted to give big thanks to Jean and Ellie for the support and info on this location.
I you haven't check out Jave's KILLER IMAGE from this spot, do so now!
Hope you guys enjoy this image, Happy Christmas to everyone, and thanks for the visit.
Was cleaning up the hard drive looking back at the year, this is one I wasn’t at all happy with it at the time, but it is kind of growing on me now, see what you think.
I was down here on the way back from work late evening one night in the summer, I had got a few of the three Graces from the front and wanted some light trails, unfortunately being late evening by this point there wasn’t much traffic, or good light, but looking back at this I thought it might be worth sharing, like most shots I did plan to come back later in the year to do it again, with the nights closing you would be able to get a shot earlier with much more dense light trails... it’s still on my list...
The Royal Liver Building is a Grade I listed building located in Liverpool, England. It is sited at the Pier Head and along with the neighbouring Cunard Building and Port of Liverpool Building is one of Liverpool's Three Graces, which line the city's waterfront. It is also part of Liverpool's UNESCO designated World Heritage Maritime Mercantile City.
Opened in 1911, the building is the purpose-built home of the Royal Liver Assurance group, which had been set up in the city in 1850 to provide locals with assistance related to losing a wage-earning relative. One of the first buildings in the world to be built using reinforced concrete, the Royal Liver Building stands at 90 m tall and was, until the construction of St John's Beacon in 1965, the tallest building in the city.
Today the Royal Liver Building is one of the most recognisable landmarks in the city of Liverpool and is home to two fabled Liver Birds that watch over the city and the sea.

First of all, many thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts on my first light painting Love At First Light, which has this evening appeared on the Flickr Blog!
The SOOC version of this shot is below. It's becoming more and more common with the misty weather that my night shots around Rickmansworth (on the edge of London) take on this tequila/nicotine stain from the sodium street lighting (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium-vapor_lamp if you're interested - had a few messages on this front last time I mentioned it!).
Whilst it started off as alluring, I've found it can be a little excessive and overpowering, as shown below. This shot only really came to life after I applied to the lower half of the frame a wholesale desaturation and cooling filter in the white balance.
There's a semi-ironic theme to my last few weeks pictures where the SOOC version needs processing to make it look less processed! This was definitely one of these.
It's a 520 second exposure, taken with the tripod stood on the ice itself. Whilst I crouched, worrying.
Black does boost its impact!
Since it was taken the ice has thawed, and yet, even as I type these words, the mercury is hurtling plumb down into Hades, and the winter cometh once more.
Hope everyone is having a great week - just back after a few days off and catching up now.
So I found myself in Warrington station waiting for a train to arrive, I had just purchased a little modo tripod after realising that I could do with something a little more portable than my big heavy one that I normally cart around, I love it.
Just in case you are wondering what you are looking at, it is a train in motion, it’s a picture without a beach or a sunset, just for a brief change.

I was hiking along the path edging the river when I came upon this section of fencing! The red really popped in the early morning sunlight ... with shadows from the iron fence on the opposite side of the trail ... a 2 for 1 Fence Day!
Most of the fencing along the river is of the split rail variety ... they must've ran out of split rails when they put this section up! As I was kneeling in the snow for this shot a few joggers ran by, a man walking his dog and this fabulously outfitted hiker (he was dressed much better for the weather than I ... except for the white biker helmet ... that couldn't have been very warm)! And I'm sure all of them thought I was insane, on my knees in the snow ... wearing jeans! They were frozen stiff by the time I got to the car!
Happy Fence Friday Everyone!

After the cold trek through the arctic tundra yesterday, first stop was Starbucks for a Peppermint Mocha! My favorite seasonal beverage! It warmed me up quite nicely ... as did everyone's sweet comments on the snowy bench!
So, thanks so much to EVERYONE for your awesome comments ... I just wasn't sure at the time if the journey was worth the effort!
Happy Bokeh Wednesday!!!
Guru Bimbabati Devi is one of the most acclaimed dancers of Manipur. She is the daughter of Guru Kalabati Devi who is a well known name in the world of Classical dance.
Like most Manipuri dances Ras-Lila is associated with Lord Krishna; here you can see Krishna ( Guru Bimbabati ) is playing with Radha & her consorts. I am fan of this dance form - its color, costume, rhythm and swift movement is mesmerizing.
Every year Konark Festival is held at an Open Air Theater where the famous Sun Temple makes the back drop. In front of the 13th century architectural marvel India's best Classical dancers enthrall a large gathering of Desi & International audience for three days. Incredible Experience !

Prijsvraag de Havenloods (Maart 2013)
Zo leuk, 6 maart 2013 stond op de voorpagina van de Rotterdamse "Havenloods" over 4 kolommen de bovenstaande foto van mij afgedrukt - je kon 'm winnen op canvas van 130x85 cm (twv € 189,-). Meer info. :)
Rotterdam view at 50mm / Erasmusbrug / Euromast / Wereldhavendagen
50mm on FX - Single RAW*
Probably up to 250.000 people here, on the bridge, both quays and the water!
I know, I know, it's the *usual view* but I have to keep on honing my night shot skills, and it's been a while so I had to give it another try. Plus there was a whole lot going on at the river due to the Wereldhavendagen (World Port Days). This was the Grand Finale of the weekend with a show and fireworks at 22:45 h. Hope you like it! :-)
Single RAW shot (58 seconds) taken with my beloved Nikon 50mm f/1.4 AF-D, fantastic little lens!
*I used a short exposure to replace the overblown Erasmusbrug (highlights).

Vous avez surement déjà vu ces deux photos sur mon "stream", dans d'autres formats ou teintes.
Deux photos, qui m'ont pas mal permis de me faire la main sur "Lightroom" mais aussi de récupérer quelques hits sur ma galerie, j'avoue :p
Pour clôturer cette série un dernier traitement et un petit récap. de l'ensemble.
"Llightroom" (LR) me permet aujourd'hui de gérer mon travail de post production de A à Z. Si jamais vous débutiez dans la photo et/ou que vous n'aviez pas encore fait votre choix, je vous le recommande!
Merci encore à tous ceux qui m'ont donné leur avis sur ces différents traitements, malgré la répétition!
Très bonne soirée à vous :o)

You've probably already seen these pictures on my "stream", in other sizes or colors.
Two pictures that allowed me to train on "Lightroom" but also get some hit on my gallery, I must admit: p
To close this series the last edition and a small recap. of the whole.
With "Llightroom" (LR) I can now manage my post production work from A to Z. If ever you are just starting in photography and / or that you have not yet made your choice,I recommend it!
Thank you again to everyone who gave me their views on these various treatments, despite the repetition!
Very good evening to you o:)

Genova, Italy. There was a storm at sea. The raindrops fell thick, fast flowing, like regret. The sky was gray and the wind was strong, cold, sharp. The waves of screaming raged in my heart. They wanted to sweep everything away, destroying the reef, cancel that beach. They would like to delete everything gets in before them, memories, images, desires, hopes.
Theirs is a constant path, the movement was frantic and nervous. In their rush grow up, get up and then fell down into a thousand eddies, confused, indistinct as my thoughts. There is no light except a gray twilight that envelops everything. The current is violent, sly, invincible. Drag my soul away. The door at the bottom of an abyss. The abyss of a story that no longer belongs to me.

I hope all of my American friends had a lovely Thanksgiving and ate as much delicious food as I did! I didn't get to post anything yesterday because i was in a turkey induced coma for most of the day, and now I'm getting a late start for fence friday! My wonderful aunt, cousin, and I are off on a photowalk around the city to look for interesting fences and hopefully burn off a few calories :-)
Happy Friday to all!!

Another one of the cell/mobile phone pictures from this weekend's hiking. Apologies for the loss of meaningful EXIF data - I'm importing these from my iPhone by email as it is refusing to sync, and for some reason this has stripped the file of the most interesting data.
This was from a really classy non-munro horseshoe just down from the Corran ferry. Whilst the terror-induced ice and snow of the day before (see www.flickr.com/photos/flatworldsedge/5198977853/) ruled out any proper camera kit, I'm reticent that I didn't take the proper stuff on this walk. That said, we were on the hills for 6-7 hours and the last descent was in the gloaming if not the dark. With a proper DSLR, it'd have added at least an hour and maybe tipped things into disaster.
In any event, the iPhone bore up quite well, even if the file doesn't live up to much magnification, especially in the upper reaches of the sky. It does look better pre-upload to Flickr; the first image I've ever had to say that about.
From my FaceBook caption:
