At 36 metres above Henderson Road, Henderson Waves is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore. It was built to connect the two hills of Mount Faber and Telok Blangah Hill.
The bridge has a unique wave-form made up of seven undulating curved steel “ribs” that alternately rise over and under its deck. The curved “ribs” form alcoves that function as shelters with seats within.
Slats of yellow balau wood, an all-weather timber found in South-East Asia, are used in the decking. Look out for carvings on the slats marking the height you are at on various points along the bridge.
The wave-forms will be lit with attractive LED light from 7pm to 2am daily, giving the bridge an illuminative glow.
DRI (smart objects): 7 exposures. + Manual blending of 2 additional exposures with the composite . NO Filters. Shot in the bluhour

I'm writing my first HDR book and trying to recall different styles that I've used during the course of my HDR evolution. So, bear with me if you see different pictures from my stream with different techniques. And that should also explain why I was not able to visit you these days.
This HDR is actually made up of just 1 exposure. One jpg.
My HDR book will be very direct. Just how I do my stuff, You'll be surprised to know how easy I make my HDRs if you buy my book. I will be including pictures for your exercise.
Hoping and wishing you will be interested and will support my project.

Un señor de los pies a la cabeza: COJONUDO, como él me llama.
Gracias por todo. Y así me responde él: es que es COJONUDO, poeta, filósofo...
"Mi gratitud está por encima del compromiso porque me siento orgulloso de haber llegado al interlocutor, de haber intuido correctamente algo que no sabía, aunque sea un triste acontecimiento, porque tu obra me ha hablado de tí y la he entendido.
Cuando he visto un sol, cual estrella brillante al alba, que ilumina la noche aún de paseo por el valle, por el valle en silencio, con praderas de niebla donde pastan los pegasos, mientras los caballos se han quedado con los pies en la ladera porque han perdido sus alas. Miro al horizonte de cálidos colores que se une, sin ungüento alguno, con la bóveda celeste, de azules y vida a otro nivel, a otra altura donde la paz reina y los moradores en ella descansan. Un abrazo amigo, tan fuerte como lo resistas"

I always enjoy trying to catch the light trails from the London buses at night...this one is in St Pauls, London.
St Paul's Cathedral is the Anglican cathedral on Ludgate Hill, in the City of London, and the seat of the Bishop of London. The present building dates from the 17th century and is generally reckoned to be London's fifth St Paul's Cathedral, although the number is higher if every major medieval reconstruction is counted as a new cathedral. The cathedral sits on the edge of London's oldest region, the City, which originated as a Roman trading post along the edge of the River Thames. The cathedral is one of London's most visited sites.
The nearest London Underground station is St. Paul's.

One of the best sunsets I've seen around here for a while!
It's hard to tell in this small size that the dark "cloud" over the horizon is actually a fog bank or more accurately a marine layer hovering over the water. I wish I could have gotten closer to water here but all access points are on private property and these locals (mostly fishermen) have shotguns! :-)

What:
The day after our last snow storm.
It was so friggin' windy that the snow blew off the tops of the trees except where they were down in this hollow!

Sunset @ around 5pm
About:
This is the first HDR I've done in a little while. I wanted to try to capture all the great colors in the sky as well as the depth of that fog hovering over the water on the horizon.

Here's a wider view of my previous photograph here.
The water was so calm through the canals that morning, it was breathtaking. Much different from when the city wakes up, as this is one of the busiest sections of town, the Rozenhoedkaai. It was quite difficult to expose this photo, but I think it turned out alright.
I hope you enjoy and as always thanks for the view, faves and comments are always appreciated! :D

Sometimes photography is just about being at the right place at the right time. I didn't plan to take this picture at all. I was just driving home after I already took some pictures, when the sky suddenly turned pink. I stopped the car immediately, got out and took a couple of shots. I was just in time, because 2 minutes later the pink sky was completely gone. I already posted a similar shot a few days ago but I thought this sunset was so beautiful it deserved another exposure. Besides that, the colors are very Flickr-ish.
What I like most on this photo isn't the colors but the people on the foreground. If you look closely they are communicating with each other, they are not skating.
Note: these are the real colors as spotted that day, no PS enhancements needed. Well, only a few basic corrections.

The Netherlands is a small country of 16 million people, but it boasts a quarter of a million competitive speedskaters, and millions more who skate for fun. What's the story? Natural ice in the Netherlands is a rare occurrence. In fact, some winters there's no natural ice at all. Maybe that explains why the Dutch love to skate outdoors. They hardly ever get the chance! But when a cold wave hits, and the interconnected maze of canals, rivers and lakes freeze over, it's a spontaneous celebration, a national holiday. Businesses close their doors and everyone goes skating. According to Richard van Ammerzoden, a skater from Rotterdam, skating in Holland originated as a poor man's sport. Isolated by mud and water in the damp winters, rural farmers prayed for ice. When it came, just like Hans Brinker, they strapped on their wooden skates with leather thongs, and traveled great distances to visit friends and relatives they hadn't seen in months. Then they skated home.
Perhaps that explains the origin of the Elfstedentocht or "Eleven Cities Tour", a 200-kilometer mega-tour in the province of Friesland known as "the mother of all skating tours." In the 1890s, some Frisian farmer with well-developed leg muscles tried to skate through all eleven cities of Friesland in a single day. He succeeded, and the rest is history.
Photo taken at the Ransdorper Die nearby Amsterdam. Dutch skaters enjoying the kilometers of natural ice. During the month January and February most geese can be found here in Waterland. The geese are migratory, moving south or west in winter. The greylag geese fly in V- formation to save themselves energy. The next days extreme low temperature of -15 degrees Celcius expected. Ofcourse I do skate too and planed to have some skating holidays ;-)
Zo'n 1000 jaar geleden of eerder begon men te schaatsen . Toen hadden ze nog geen ijzer uit gevonden dus deden ze dat met botten van geslachte of dode dieren. Die maakten ze een beetje scherp, bonden ze met touwen onder hun voeten vast en zo kwamen ze al een beetje vooruit. Toen er ijzer uit werd gevonden waren er al vrij snel ijzeren schaatsen in plaats van schaatsen van botten. Nederland is het enige land waar zoveel mensen schaatsen. De schaats is ook in Nederland uitgevonden. Ook in Noorwegen schaatsen veel mensen maar lang niet zoveel als in Nederland. Er ligt daar meestal te veel sneeuw op het ijs. Als er twee nachten matige vorst is geweest slaat de gekte weer toe. Erwtensoep in de pot, schaatsen uit het vet en tochten maken. Helaas heeft het al jaren niet meer gevroren, weet een hele generatie niet wat natuurijs maar nu lijkt eindelijk de weer een vorst periode aan te breken waar op natuurijs geschaatst kan worden. De Grauwe gans, grijsbruine gans met forse oranje snavel en roze poten is te zien langs de Grote Rivieren, Zeeuwse delta, Friesland en hier in Waterland. De ganzen vliegen altijd in V-formatie waardoor de krachtsinspanningen over de groep worden verdeeld. Vanaf eind oktober strijken de ganzen neer. Ze blijven tot eind maart. Het hoogtepunt van de ganzentijd ligt in de maanden januari en februari.
Today you may take a look at Portovenere seascape, with its harbour and the coast. In the background there is La Spezia, lightened by the last rays of sun.

This is the setup I use most often. The 70-200mm F2.8G SSM practically lives on the camera. For Christmas, I received a Manfrotto tripod but returned it in favour of the HVL-F58AM flash bringing my total to 4 external wireless flashes. I want to get more involved with strobe photography so this year, one of my New Year's resolutions is to improve my strobist knowledge.
Strobist Info: Sony A100 with HVL-F58AM as key light and HVL-F42AM as backdrop separation.
He has his eye on me most of the time. Border Collies like to stare, and Barney is no exception, I think this is why is good at having his photo taken, many dogs are worried by the lens (apparently they think its a hard stare from the alpha!) but Barney is happy to look straight back at you, its not a challenge, he's just not afraid of eye contact, in fact he likes it!
I took this shot this morning, we were playing on the field, its cropped a lot but for some reason I seem to like it, anyway I kept coming back to look at it, so thought I'd put it up!
