Thank You
It is a great idea to tell the story behind the image
so this is my story
I was driving back home, passing by a small town (Wolsztyn, Poland)where once a year in first weekend of May, the steam train parade takes place. I noticed, that they have some steam locomotives standing as an open air museum and stopped to make some pictures. Then I noticed a steam locomotive warming and slowly going away. After app. 1 km it stopped at a little station. I followed the locomotive and found out, that this steam trains are still serving a small distance line. I liked the mood of a solitude, small train station and old steam train... tried to put it in this photo.....
“...Las tropillas entabladas,
los fletes bien ensillados
es legado que ha heredado
esta Patria que es sagrada.
¡Qué lujo verla rodeada,
uno por uno agarrar,
la madrina cabrestear,
pegadita a la asidera!
¡Qué orgullo pa'mi bandera
que estamos viendo flamear!”

These ripples at Lake Louise provide a kind of dynamic serenity. Was able to get to the lake from Banff for sunrise last week on a trip. The quiet was palpable. The ripples were provided with a little snowball and added a sense of dynamic movement to the moment.

In preparation of a free buffet lunch I thought I'd get a little exercise cycling on my wife's battery powered mamachari (bike with large baskets) and came across this unexpected wonderful sunset.
This was taken using my wide angle lense and cropped at the bottom to remove the beach from the shot.
Slightly processed to give a nice cinematic film feel.
Just a perfect day,
Drink Sangria in the park,
And then later, when it gets dark,
We go home.
Just a perfect day,
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later, a movie, too,
And then home.
Oh it's such a perfect day,
I'm glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.
Just a perfect day,
Problems all left alone,
Weekenders on our own.
It's such fun.
Just a perfect day,
You made me forget myself.
I thought I was someone else,
Someone good.
Oh it's such a perfect day,
I'm glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,

There is nothing better than trying to compose a photo while walking on slippery rock layers set at a 45 degree angle while unpredictable seas lash out at you! But the light was so good for about 3 minutes.... No HDR.

The rock layers which record the geologic history of Montana De Oro State Park just south of Big Sur (3 hour drive south of San Francisco and 3 hours north from LA), can be read like books in an ancient library. This is one of my two favorite spots for photography that I've seen along the entire California coast.
The problem is that each accessable spot needs to be researched before you can tell if it is good for a photo. And the tide level determines whether it is good. So you have to commit to a spot that may take you 20 minutes to extricate yourself from, should you decide that it is no good. And then you miss the good light that may fall somewhere else. So even with planning, getting a good shot here is definitely hit or miss even with perfect light in the sky. Also, this place is on the way to nowhere, so you have to make it your intention to spend the day here and stay overnight nearby.
But it is SO worth it. It would take months of living nearby during the stormiest part of winter before I would feel I had captured the spirit of this place.
The map shows EXACTLY where this is.

I was looking forward to October the 2nd (the Birth of a great leader Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi) to dedicate this picture but unfortunately work and personal life did take most of my time . So I woke up earlier than normal time and finished it just this morning. I figured, there's no time limit to dedicate something to a great man like him, right?
I'll see you all very soon in a image near you ;-)

I was trying to make the colours look as good as I know how at this point in my editing software.
I sure could spend sometime with an expert to get more than just a basic knowledge of photoshop and all the many things you can use it for.

Excursión a Soria, noche en el Parador. Abrir la ventana por la mañana y encontar una preciosa niebla sobre el río Duero. ¿Quién puede resistirse a hacer fotos? Os dejo una serie con la hora en que tomé la foto. Increiblemente rápido, la niebla creció para disiparse con la misma rapidez.

The color version of the Metal Castle from the different spot.
The Metal Castle , Bangkok, Thailand
This is the only one of its kind left in the world.
Loha Prasat (Lohaprasada) Loha = metal, Prasat = castle
This Metal Castle was built in 1846. Standing 36 metres high with 37 surrounding spires.
Most people'd never known that the castle was there until they tore down the old movie theater that blocked it from view in 1989.

Het Steen is a historic medieval castle in the old city center of Antwerp, Belgium, one of Europe's biggest ports. Built in 1200 - 1225, Het Steen is Antwerp's oldest building.
Previously known as Antwerp Castle, Het Steen gained its current name in around 1520, after significant rebuilding under Charles V. The rebuilding led to it being known first as "'s Heeren Steen" (the King's Stone), and later simply as "Het Steen" (The Stone). The Dutch word "Steen" means "stone", and is used for "castle" or "fortress", as in the "Gravensteen" in Ghent, Belgium.
The castle made it possible to control the access to the Schelde, the river that flows through Antwerp. It was also used as a prison between 1303 and 1827. This was not the noblest time of existence of the Steen Castle. Captivity itself was not punishment - the prison was where you awaited your sentence. Very popular punishment available was; chopping of hands, heads and/or burning and quartering. The prison’s regime was not a very honest one. The rich were logged in the right wing and the poor in the left wing of the castle.
Part of the castle was later demolished to make the roads to connect the south and the north part of the port. The remaining building contains a shipping museum, with outside on displayed on the quay, some real old canal barges.
In 1890 ‘Het Steen’ became the museum of archeology and in 1952 an annex was added to house the museum of the Antwerp maritime history. Here you’ll also find a war memorial to the Canadian soldiers in WWII.
At the entrance to Het Steen is a bas-relief of Semini, above the archway, circa 2nd century. Semini is the Scandinavian God for youth and fertility (with symbolic phallus). A historical plaque near Het Steen explains that women of the town appealed to Semini when they desired children; the god was reviled by later religious clergy. Inhabitants of Antwerp previously referred to themselves as "children of Semini". An organization affiliated with historic preservation of Het Steen and Semini, Antwerp Komitee Semini in Ere (AKSIE), formed in 1986, holds annual celebrations at Het Steen as cultural events.

It was a rather calm day there ... I saw no other people visiting the castle. Maybe it is not so famous in Antwerp.

Die Burg Steen am rechten Scheldeufer ist aus dem Mittelalter und die Stadtburg von Antwerpen, Belgien.
Die erste Erwähnung der Burg Het Steen („Der Stein“) datiert auf das 12. Jahrhundert. Damit gilt sie als ältestes erhaltenes Gebäude der Stadt Antwerpen. Die Burg war Teil der Stadtbefestigung und sollte den Zugang zur Stadt aus der Richtung der Westerschelde schützen. Im Jahr 1520 bestimmte Kaiser Karl V., dass die Burg renoviert und umgebaut werden sollte, um Artillerie aufnehmen zu können.
Später wurde die Burg als Gefängnis genutzt. Davon zeugt heute noch das Kruzifix über dem Eingang. Es symbolisiert die Stelle, an der zum Tode verurteilte Verbrecher ihr letztes Gebet vor der Hinrichtung zu sprechen hatten.
Im 19. Jahrhundert wurde die Burg schwer beschädigt, aber im alten Gewand wieder errichtet. Seit 1952 beherbergt sie ein Museum.
Wie bereits erwähnt ist Het Steen, wie die Antwerpener sie nennen, seit 1952 das Nationale Maritime Museum Belgiens. Hier können Schiffsmodelle berühmter, historischer Schiffe, ebenso Malereien, nautische Instrumente, Fotos und Dokumente besichtigt werden. Ebenso betrachtet werden kann das Original des Leichters West Hinder III.
Über den Urzustand der Burg ist wenig bekannt. Die neuere Anlage aus dem 16. Jahrhundert wurde aber nach den Maßgaben des Adels nach mehr Wohnlichkeit erbaut. Der eigentliche Bergfried existiert nicht mehr. Dagegen wurden massive, palastartige Gebäude gebaut. Über dem Haupteingang ist ein Wehrgang angebracht, der mit Pechnasen bestückt ist. Ein massiver Rundturm mit Zinnen sichert den Eingang an der rechten Seite, ein weiterer Rundturm mit Kegeldach und Pechnasen befindet sich links. Seeseitig wurden Bastionen zur Unterbringung der Artillerie eingebaut. Auffällig ist der Baustil der Anlage. Deutlich hanseatisch geprägt sind die stufenförmigen Dachgiebel. (Quelle: Burg Steen)
Es war ein ruhiger Tag ... ich keine anderen Menschen, welche die Burg besichtigten. Vielleicht ist sehr nicht sehr berühmt für Antwerpen.

This photo was taken while waiting for our plane that'll bring me to Iloilo. The flight was supposed to be at 4:30am but was delayed due to some technical problems with our original plane. We were asked to transfer to another plane after the pilot and technicians confirmed that it will take time to fix the first plane's faulty mechanism.
If my memory serves me right, this shot was taken before 6 in the morning while it was raining outside and some dark clouds are coming into view forecasting the catastrophe that will fall on this city about 2 weeks later.
Shot through a glass wall of a cafe. Clone stamped away the reflections and did some DRI.

I got up at 3am to drive from Seattle to Prosser in eastern WA. Still debating whether or not it was worth it. It was pretty cool to see the 31 balloons launch at sunrise over the Yakima river. I will be offline for a few weeks on a road trip to Banff and Jasper. Thanks for checking out the photo and saying hi.
Another long exposure from the Waddenzee. This time, a lonely bird on a pole.
Oh and thanks everybody for the feedback on remotes for my D300, my friend Wim told me he had a spare remote which I could get if I want it, well of course :)
Thanks Wim!

Itaguaçu é um bairro da cidade brasileira de Florianópolis, capital do estado de Santa Catarina. Está situado na porção continental do município, ao sul, entre os bairros de Coqueiros e Bom Abrigo e a baía sul. O nome Itaguaçu é de origem tupi e quer dizer literalmente "Viveiro de Pedras Grandes" ou "Lugar onde há Pedras Grandes". Estas pedras constituem interessantes formações de granito à beira da praia de Itaguaçu e em meio ao mar da baía sul, havendo mesmo uma lenda que conta de bruxas que teriam sido petrificadas, dando origem às pedras, uma das quais parece ter um chapéu, e também há um conjunto de 6 pedras que formam um tipo de um círculo com uma sétima pedra no meio (alusão a ritual satânico)..
This picture was shot hand-held with three exposures (-2..0..+2EV). I used Photomatix to create the HDR with tonemapping and detail enhanced. I increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. Curve adjustment to increase the overall contrast. Unsharp Mask.
This is the view of Fisherman's Wharf from our place of stay. Love the houseboats. A really fun place to walk around and take pictures from. Victoria B.C. is so beautiful.

Took a bud and his daughter out camping with me and the boys this weekend in the RV. Hooked up with Bro and his family at a campground at the base of Mt. Fuji. Was absolute *perfect* weather, with a fantastic Sunset to top the day off as you can see here.
Life is good outdoors on the weekends; highly recommended with or without kids...
