Verbier is a ski resort in the Swiss Alps, in the canton of Valais. It is part of the "Four Valleys" ski area, which includes the ski resorts of Verbier, Nendaz, Veysonnaz, La Tzoumaz, and Thyon. Verbier is recognized as one of the premiere "off-piste" resorts worldwide. Many top skiers have settled in the resort in order to take advantage of the steep slopes, varied conditions and vibrant nightlife. Verbier is also a popular holiday destination for celebrities, including Sarah Ferguson, Diana Ross, James Blunt and The Crown Prince Couple of Denmark: Frederik and Mary.
Verbier is located in the Val de Bagnes, in the Valais region of Switzerland. The resort lies on a south orientated terrace at around 1,500 metres facing the Grand Combin massif.
Verbier only has one access road, which starts in the town of Le Châble.
The Grand Combin is a mountain in the western Pennine Alps in Switzerland. With its 4,314 metres (14,154 ft) high summit it is one of the highest peaks in the Alps and the second most prominent of its range.
The Grand Combin is also a large glaciated massif consisting of several summits, among which three are above 4000 metres.
The Alps (French: Alpes; German: Alpen; Italian: Alpi; Romansh: Alps; Slovene: Alpe) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high) or more likely a Latin rendering of a Celtic or Ligurian original.
The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,808 metres (15,774 ft), on the Italian-French border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.
The Alps are generally divided into the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps. The division is along the line between Lake Constance and Lake Como, following the Rhine. The Western Alps are higher, but their central chain is shorter and curved; they are located in Italy, France and Switzerland. The Eastern Alps (main ridge system elongated and broad) belong to Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland.
The Alps are a classic example of what happens when a temperate area at lower altitude gives way to higher elevation terrain. Elevations around the world which have cold climates similar to those found in polar areas have been called alpine. A rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere causes the temperature to decrease. The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow or rain.
This Yellow-crowned Night-heron had just caught and swallowed a small fish, and he apparently enjoyed it to the last drop. But he continued to forage the weedy edge of his bayou, despite a group of photographers only fifteen feet away.
Seen with Paul (D200-Paul) and his wife at J.N."Ding"Darling National Wildlife Refuge, Sanibel Island, Florida.
The shapes and sizes of herons and egrets may seem to change as they stand tall, necks outstretched, or when they appear more "squat" as seen in the earlier post below.
The term, graffiti, referred to the inscriptions, figure drawings, and such, found on the walls of ancient sepulchers or ruins, as in the Catacombs of Rome or at Pompeii. Use of the word has evolved to include any graphics applied to surfaces in a manner that constitutes vandalism.
The only known source of the Safaitic language, a form of proto-Arabic, is from graffiti: inscriptions scratched on to the surface of rocks and boulders in the predominantly basalt desert of southern Syria, eastern Jordan and northern Saudi Arabia. Safaitic dates from the first century BC to the fourth century AD.
.... this was possible today. After a long time filled with grey and cold days we had about 6 hours sunshine today. Although it was not so warm but the feeling of Spring was there during my walk this afternoon. I am looking forward to see such wonderful blooming scenes like in the photo above.

These photo`s were taken within a few minutes of eachother. One can see how things vary in shape, size and intensity. Here a burst from my left, at first I thought it was a lightbeam from the restaurant on top. But when I framed and pressed the shutter it suddenly came to life resulting in this view.
Please do view large on black and press play :)

Buzz lightyear, The Moon, Jupiter and ISS (International Space Station)! I posted this picture onto Col. Chris Hadfield's ( Commander of the International Space Station) Facebook page and he responded :-) It's not everyday you get someone on a space station commenting on one of your photos from earth orbit!
This shot took a bit of organizing, calculation, preperation and luck! Firstly I knew when and where the ISS would be visible so I had to set up a large Rock and place Buzz on it and then I had to get the low POV right so as the composition was just right with the Moon, Jupiter, Buzz and of course the ISS. Then the task of how much focus to use on Buss and the background, as he was the "Star", pardon the pun, of the show I weighted it more on him. I had to practice the exposure times and ISO settings to get that right and then the light painting of the forground to make sure I wasn't over exposing it.
Just as it was about to all came together, some cloud slowly appeared creeping in, ready to ruin the shot! The ISS was right on time though, I activated the shutter, took two steps to the left and using my head lamp, light painted the foreground for a count of 2 seconds approx. With nervously excitement I turned away and waited for the shutter to close. I had my shot!
30 seconds later the clouds did indeed roll in, luck was on my side!!

24 frame mosaic consisting of 3-20 minute frames and 3-10 minute frames(bin 2x2) of Hydrogen- Alpha(Ha) per frame for a total of 19 hours Ha. Images were taken over the course of 7 nights Jan 7,8,18,19,20 & Feb 10,12 2013 with a QHY9M & Orion ED102T CF
With the addition of M78 and the 6 new frames there are 27 hours 33 minutes of images
Again, the star colors are synthetic but I will defintiely not finish this correctly this year. I'm looking into a different setup to speed up this process. With my skies a mosaic of this size is impossible.
shoes? these aren't shoes. these are stone bricks. stone bricks stuck to me.
try as i might, and I do try, i can't move off.
and you, you there, always there, like some sort of over-vigilant ward. why?
leave me be.
this rain too.
it rains too much.

La segunda de la serie, no se puede disfrutar más haciendo fotos que aquella tarde,la marea perfecta,un cielo jaspeado de nubes y el sol intentando hacerse paso por entre ellas.Son de esos días que sabes que no puedes fallar,así que allí me veis a mí con mi habitual flujo de trabajo "ordenadito" y "limpio" (juas!!!) intentando subirme a la piedra más alta para tener una perspectiva que me permitiera mostraros lo que alli aconteció.Esta se la dedico a mi amiga Sonia,por su generosidad en regalarme este bonito título que tan bien casa con lo que sentí.
-TÉCNICA: Como en la anterior de la serie ,ND 64 + degradado inverso Hi Tech de dos pasos + Black Card.No me extenderé en como use la tarjeta pues el método es el mismo que usé anteriormente,en este caso como el reflejo ocupaba más espacio en el encuadre, desplacé la tarjeta e introduje varias veces una de las esquinas para tapar la zona inferior izquierda y evitar el "quemado".
Los datos exif los podreis encontrar en la WEB.
-COMPOSICIÓN: El protagonista de la imagen es la luz que acompaña a la escena,las lineas que marcan una clara dirección hacia el horizonte se ven reforzadas por una luz a 45º que revela volúmenes y enfacita texturas creando , a mi modo de ver , una bonita atmósfera.Los dorados del sol contrastan con el resto de tonos frios de la escena.
-EDICIÓN: En el DPP de Canon,corregir horizonte,balance de blancos auto,curvas para mejorar el contraste general.En PS contraste por zonas,capa saturación (esta va por ti Jose Luis....duplico capa-ajustes-saturación (aquí a gusto del consumidor,general ,un sólo tono...)-filtro ruido-mediana (3)-desenfoque gausiano (5)-acoplar capa -modo color-y aquí jugamos con la opacidad de la capa .Si no te quedó claro te lo vuelvo a contar ;)) tus deseos son ordenes para mi ji ji ji .Por último ligero enfoque para la web.
A partir de hoy también podreis encontrar mis imágenes en linkingoo.

Digging through my archives, I found this image. This was shot in Subic Bay, Olongapo City, Philippines and this location used to be the biggest overseas US Naval Base until its closure in 1991. There are more interesting spots to shoot in this location and I know I will be back. However, the question is when?
Have a nice Wednesday to all! :)

Here is a view of Seattle’s Public Library in downtown. Alongside the Space Needle and Pike Place Market, the downtown branch of the city’s public library system is also a well-known landmark and attraction -- both its exterior and interior -- especially for photographers! Fortunately, I had my ultra-wide angle lens to capture the entire building in this instance, taken during the city’s “Fog Affair” of late January. This was on a Saturday morning, when the city was still in slumber with very few people walking the streets of downtown.
Given the fog cover and emptiness, the downtown area actually seemed abandoned to some degree, except the occasional taxi or automobile that passed by, driving through a modern-day twilight zone and serving as a reminder of the existence of other people.

Facciamo un ultimo giro intorno ad Urla prima di andare ad Izmir (Smirne-Egeo).
...
Una passeggiata e quattro chiacchiere... con mio papà al mini porto di Urla, in quella nuvolosa mattina di Dicembre..Sa che amo il mare d'inverno e quel piccolo porto.
...e mentre passeggiavamo, ci siamo incontrati con qualche furbettino :)
Dunque, i furbi si trovano sempre ed ovunque...Non amo molto i gatti , ma la loro attesa mi ha fatto ridere ..Furbetti che non altro siete...
Poi abbiamo deciso di fare i furbi pure noi con mio padre e siamo allontanati ..a bere un tè caldo per scaldarci e a giocare il tavla (backgammon)...
-----------------
C'mon let's do a last tour around Urla and then next time I'ìl take you to Izmir , to my home town (Smyrna-Agean sea).
That cloudy yet beautiful morning my dady had taken me to the small harbour of Urla. He knows that I love the winter sea and that small port. As we were chatting and walking around...we've met some smarties (waiting for ready food :) ) I don't really like so much cats, yet their awaiting seemed funny to me...Then dady and I have decided to behave smartly as well: we've walked near by to take a hot tea to heat us and and to play backgammon...
The lake was partly frozen topped with a light covering of snow in patches. I was drawn to the green of the tree which gives a subtle contrast to the prevailing white. (For those old enough to remember, the title is inspired by a Jethro Tull song ).
My recommendation is to view in Light box: L

Camera Information:
Model: Sony NEX-6, Shutter Speed: 1/160 sec, Aperture: f/8, Focal Length: 10mm, ISO: 100
Lens: Sony 10-18mm f/4 Wide-Angle Zoom OSS Alpha E-mount (SEL1018).
I went back and reprocessed the source files for this image, this time using the 32-bit HDR Pro engine/feature in Photoshop CS6. One of the biggest differences I noticed when comparing the CS6 method with Photomatix (my normal process) is that the CS6 process results in much less noise. It's pretty amazing, actually. The other noticeable difference is that I think the CS6 version results in a more subtle and more easily fine-tuned image. Of course, that comes at a cost. As I've already mentioned in a previous posting, the resulting TIFF files using the CS6 method are twice the size. In my case that means almost a half gigabyte file. Ouch.
On a related note, I finally decided to pull the trigger on an high-performance external storage system. My new Drobo box and drives should be arriving on Wednesday. I'm looking forward to a much quicker and less frustrating photo processing and archiving workload.
The other thing that's going to help me with my photo storage is a set of neutral density filters that I have ordered. I love doing HDR, but I also want to start to even out the light in a scene using filters rather than tonemapping in software. Using filters will mean fewer photos to move and store because where I now take five to seven bracketed shots per image, with filters I should only one shot per image. The filters should arrive in the next few weeks and (fingers crossed) the lens should be as well.
-------------------------
Thank you for your visits and comments. Please feel free to add notes to any of my images.
I do a lot of HDR processing. All of my HDR photos can be found here.
I shoot with a Nikon D800. All my D800 photos are right here.

Aaahhhh, what an awesome evening. :)
I was at a relative's home most of yesterday into the evening hours. With a sudden stomach ache and throbbing headache, I said my goodbyes and went east towards home and couldn't help but notice this amazing dense fog scattered about the rural roads and in towns I drove through on my way back. My shutter finger was feeling itchy, so I pulled into the driveway and ran in to grab my camera gear feeling confident I was going to return home yet again with luck.
My luck was poor, as rain began to fall once I arrived. Without an umbrella or any camera protection I had to be on my way back as I didn't want to risk my camera getting wet over 2-3 good shots.
Likewise while I was out there in the misty fog I walked out into my car's high-beams with a feeling of happiness rushing through me as each several yards I stepped out into the headlight's beams this ghostly white fog halo became more apparent, with a noticeable white arc, corona/glory at its center, as well as my own body and tripod shadow known as the "broken specter."
Some quick info on fog that every atmospheric optic photographer should know:
- FOG forms any time there is moisture present, especially after it has rained, or due to radiational cooling or the air is saturated (100% humidity)
- in order for a great fog to form we need roughly 95-100% humidity or entirely saturated air combined with no more than a 5 degree difference between DEW POINT (the point at which clouds form when temperature drops to that number/temperature..this causes relative humidity to rise thus causing the air to become saturated) and AIR TEMPERATURE
- above I mentioned "radiational cooling," this is known to occur any time of the year actually when there are clear skies at night; the temperature drops of course at night as no sunlight is warming the surface of the earth and at night when clear skies are present, this war air interacts with the cool surrounding air thus causing humidity to spike and create these very low clouds among the surface known as "fog."
I hope some of this info and my story helps you see why I love atmospheric optics and getting out in the fog once it occurs here in Illinois...it truly is a wonder that Mother Nature can do such beautiful artwork on her own.
Six miles high! You can see the snowdrift being carried off the top of Annapurna South and the main peak, Annapurna I, by the hurricane force winds of the jet stream. Annapurna I looks like its a part of the "South" peak but they are separated by a deep valley. Annapurna I is about 800 meters higher and set further back, hence appears level and connected with Annapurna South.
Aprovechando la densa niebla por toda la costa, decidimos coger altura subiendo un puerto de montaña para fotografiar de noche el mar de nubes, la contaminación lumínica y el cielo estrellado.

Part of the Orion Molecular Cloud, an immense star forming region very close to earth, The Flame and Horsehead Nebulas offer a glimpse into the process from which stars and their planets are created. The colorfully lit areas are being irradiated by the young stars which have formed in the recent past and as a result, the ionized hydrogen in the clouds glows. The dark regions, on the other hand, are areas of dusty material in the interstellar medium dense enough to obscure the glow from behind. The Horsehead is such an object and from our vantage point on Earth, it bears a striking resemblance to the head of a horse.
The bright blue star just above The Flame Nebula is the easternmost star in Orion's belt, Alnitak, also known as Zeta Orionis. It is a "blue super-giant" and the brightest such star in the night sky.
Although it appears as a single object it is actually a triple-star (three stars in orbit around each other).
Zeta Orionis is responsible for the glow of the Flame Nebula; it glows so intensely in the ultra-violet range that even at a distance of a hundred light-years, the hydrogen in the cloud becomes ionized like neon in a sign. This radiation is also speeding the development of new stars as the pressure from the radiation further compresses the material. When the density of the material becomes great enough, gravity takes over and collapses the gas into a single object where temperature and pressure increase so dramatically that hydrogen atoms are fused into helium and a new star is born.

From my sons I've got a GPS tagger as Christmas present. Since 2 years I wanted to buy one but I never knew which one I should take. Therefore I'm really happy about this gift!
These days I have tested the tagger and have tried it first in my neighborhood in the late afternoon. The tagger works very well and is easy to handle.
I've taken the shot above during this test walk ... nothing spectacular but I like it somehow and on the left you can see my beloved walnut tree.

It took about twenty minutes in the middle of the night to set up in the middle of a wintery pool, wellies full of water by the end of it. Five minutes later my flash, which I'd brought out solely to test, stopped working... If anyone knows about fixing Metz flashes, please message me! It still makes noises, and the button glows, it just doesn't flash. In this case "two out of three ain't bad" ceases to apply.
Anyway, having set up I figured I'd just trying gelling my flashlight/torch instead, and ended up with a shot I'm happy with and some neat lessons around lighting a scene.
Lighting is from a Lenser MT7 flashlight - first with a turquoise gel beneath the water (in a zip lock freezer bag), then with an amber gel aimed along the wall from the right, and vertically down on the scene from the top of the wall. I've included a flat white lit shot of the scene in the comments so you can see how it transformed things - without the lighting, this was pitch black bar a tiny sliver of moonlight on grey rock and brown water.
More to follow from the location in future. Hope every one is having an amazing Christmas/holiday run.
A series of images that have little to do with anything other than the fun of creating them.

En bicicleta por el cordón de Provile, visitando este sitio después de muchos años, desde cuando nos veníamos en caballos por 4 días desde el valle del Queuco.
Región del Biobío, Chile central.
Architect: Aron Johansson
Built in: 1897-1905
Client: Sveriges Riksbank and Riksdagen
The Parliament House, Riksdagshuset, is the seat of The Parliament of Sweden and located on Helgeandsholmen in central Stockholm.
The building was designed by Architect Aron Johansson and built between 1897 and 1905. When it was opened it replaced the old Parliament House on Riddarholmen. The building was originally constructed to house both The Parliament and The Swedish National Bank.
In 1971 it was decided that the bank part of the building was to be rebuilt into a new assembly hall for The Parliament. An architectural competition was won by the architectural firm Ahlgren-Olsson-Silow Arkitekter AB. The largest outwardly visible change was the copper-clad body of the old National Bank with the new chamber. The rebuilt building was inaugurated in October 1983.
