Welcome to my first upload in 2011. I hopy the new year started well for everyone of you.
Concerning the photo: On our Lake District tour we were heading to Tarn Hows in the morning and came across some beautiful misty landscapes where I took this photograph. These scenes with heavy morning sun and aditional fog are really hard to capture (imo). The OOC picture looks like crap and it took me hours (seriously) to process it to what it's now. And I'm still not happy with it... anyway I'm going to show it...
Better to see it in large so press "L" =)
PS: my last upload is my new buddy icon... yay!
Lucknow, India. I still have a bunch of photos to upload from this trip.
Chhota Imambara was built by Muhammad Ali Shah, the third Nawab of Avadhbuilt, in 1837-1840, so it is not that old. Don't doubt for a minute that I forgot all the names here other than Chhota Imambara by the time I was out of this gate, so I should thank Wikipedia. The main building also serves as a mausoleum to both Nawab Muhammad Ali Shah and his mother.

Este primer amanecer del 2011 quiero desearos que además de Felicidad y salud, también os deseo libertad al igual que las gaviotas que están revoloteando a sus anchas, que podáis ser libres en vuestras decisiones, en vuestros pensamientos y en vuestras acciones.
Feliz 2011 amig@s que sigamos aquí disfrutando de este hobby que tanto nos gusta y por el cual hemos hecho grandes amistades.
Un muy fuerte abrazo
Como amo la libertad tengo sentimientos nobles y liberales; y si suelo ser severo, es solamente con aquellos que pretenden destruirnos.

“... Hoje, parei rodeio
na fazenda da vida!...
Apartei um bom lote de alegrias
pra o saladeiro duma despedida...
Recorri a invernada do presente,
- onde inda existe o refugo do passado -
tinha gado gordo,
gado magro,
e algum terneiro pesteado...
O campo da estância está apertado!
O pingo do meu pensamento
está delgado e fogoso,
mas não pude conseguir meu intento...
Levei quase todo o dia,
e não fiz passar a pandilha das saudades
para a invernada do esquecimento.
É teimosa essa pandilha!
Ficou bufindo, com a égua-madrinha da tristeza,
no alto da coxilha...
Não gosto destas teimosias.
Dei de rédea e voltei tranqueando,
e vi que todo meu esforço foi em vão...
e trotei...
repontando a tropilha dos meus dias
rumo à mangueira donde todos vão ... “
“Campereada”, de Vargas Neto
Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil
Been going through my favorites over the last day or two. There are so many great photographs out there. Many faves are from those of you who regularly comment on my post which is much appreciated, as I really respect and admire your work. As a final post of 2010 I thought that I would add your photos to one of mine that I took recently in East Village, New York. It's a pastiche of the Led Zeppelin cover Physical Graffiti, but I added some of my flickr heros in the windows.
What would be cool is if those of you that I have featured would add a note to your image and hence feed back to your stream. I am sorry to those of you that I have not featured, I only had room for 16 images.
Wishing all a Happy & Prosperous New Year

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!

Existen personas en nuestras vidas que nos hacen felices por la simple casualidad de haberse cruzado en nuestro camino. Tal vez cada hoja de un árbol caracteriza uno de nuestros amigos. Los primeros que nacen del brote son nuestros padres que nos muestran lo que es la vida. Después vienen los amigos hermanos, con quienes dividimos nuestro espacio para que puedan florecer como nosotros.
Más el destino nos presenta también a otros amigos, que vienen del exterior.
El tiempo pasa, el verano se va, el otoño se aproxima y perdemos algunas de nuestras hojas, unas nacen en otras primaveras y otras permanecen por muchas estaciones.
Pero nos damos cuenta que aquellas que cayeron continúan cerca, alimentando nuestra raíz con alegría.
Te deseo hoja de mi árbol: paz, amor, salud, suerte y prosperidad hoy y siempre... simplemente porque cada persona que pasa por nuestros días es única. Siempre deja un poco de sí y se lleva un poco de nosotros. Esta es la mayor responsabilidad de nuestra vida y la prueba evidente de que dos almas no se encuentran por casualidad.

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.

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.

Thank you for viewing, have a great day.
After some requests, we will stop and rest a little on that bench...but not for too long: we’re so close to our destination!
Llegan las fiestas de fin de año y siempre renovamos un mismo deseo. Paz.
Mi deseo este año es que en el futuro nuestros hijos puedan desear otra cosa.
Holidays are coming and like every year we renew the same desire. Peace.

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!

Noche de paz noche de amor
Oye humilde el fiel pastor
Coros celestes que anuncian salud
Gracias y glorias en gran plenitud
Por nuetro buen redentor(bis)

Luce en el rostro del niño Jesús
En el pesebre del mundo la luz

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 !
From the muddy boots and loaf of bread session, down at Crosby.
So I’ve previously uploaded a crop from this, really I love the colours caught and the shapes in the sand, but I just haven’t been happy with the confluence of directions you are lead through the scene, that and the lack of anything of significance to look at on the thirds, but with the sweep of beach and cloud around to the posh houses lit up down at Blundelsands I think it is worth sharing.
Anyway, see what you think. Have a great day!

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).

most of the snow has melted already.. almost as quickly as it came. i hope it's not the last of the snow this winter.
Two hearths burn firewood in a still to make alcohol from the juice of cashew apples.
Goa is known for its beaches, its food and the non interfering locals who do not bother the semi clad or ill clad or not clad touristas seeking their moments in the sun and the sand. Imagine a beach in North India, it would be a riot of sorts with rape pillage and a fight every 5 minutes.
The food is good and the booze is still cheap. Goa has its own trademark local brew called Fenni that is distilled from the juice of the cashew apples. The fruits come in season in April and May and the valleys waft with the persistent sweet and cloying bouquet of the delicate but strong cashew apple juice.
The apples are picked and then crushed and fermented and then distilled to produce "urrack" which is the first distillate and thereafter equal portions of the urrack and fresh ferment are distilled again to give you Fenni.
Visitors without fail, buy an obligatory bottle of fenni from the liquor shops that abound in Panjim and elsewhere and carry it as a souvenir back to wherever they came from. Most consume it to only crib about the harsh taste and the rather strong smell that exudes out of the alcohol.
It is not a personal favourite of mine. The general fenni that people buy from the shops is in reality of a very poor quality and adulteration is the norm.
It is said that genuine fenni is not so strong in its smell quotient and is smooth as silk.
