Pre dawn was not so good, but I had noticed this yacht and thought, if the sun came up and peaked thought the clouds it might be good. So we waited, and we were rewarded.
I'm not 100% happy here, I just cant manage to get the exposure and WH right.

Hello Flickr! I am really REALLY happy today because the Coachella lineup finally came out and SO many bands I love will be there--including my absolute fave and the band that Scott and I saw at Coachella 2004 when we finally got together (The Cure--very very sentimental, the reason we went in the first place).
I couldn't be happier and I seriously can't wait. This will be my 6th straight year.

When Andrew, our guide at Rattray’s said, “we’re going to see some Buffalos”, we couldn’t have guessed what impressive spectacle was waiting for us. We drove up to the area and he parked the car .. We saw some buffalos, but they were a bit far off. I looked at Andrew a bit confused but he just leaned back and smiled.
Soon it became clear why…. More Buffalos came up on the field… and more… and more. Pretty soon the car was surrounded by a herd of hundreds of them (see picture below). I could have easily touched them. We’ve spent a good part of an hour with them, before they moved on.. slowly.
Know that, although it looks like your average herd of cows, buffalos are considered one of the most dangerous animals of Africa. They have no fear. You can feel that when you look in their eyes. We've been chased by a (wounded) Buffalo Bull once a couple of years ago, no pre-warning; he just attacked out of the blue. Just escaped from him hitting the rental car we drove - and I have a very healthy respect for them!
One of the nicest things about a herd of Buffalos is that they are always in the company of ‘Red Billed Oxpeckers’. These busy little birds feed on the ticks on the hide of the grazing Buffalos and they fill the air with their constant chatter.
Guess on this shot it's not really hard to see how they got their name.. :-)

What:
The Dingle Tower
Where:
Sir Sanford Fleming Park on the Northwest Arm
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
When:
Last Sunday morning at sunrise.
About:
Sir Sandford Fleming established a summer retreat on the property fronting the Northwest Arm, part of Halifax Harbour, during the 1880s after finishing construction of the Intercolonial Railway. He called it the "Dingle".
In 1908, Fleming donated the property to the citizens of Halifax for use as a park and proposed the construction of a tower within the "Dingle" to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the establishment of representative government in Nova Scotia; the province having been the first colony in the British Empire outside the United Kingdom to have such a form of government. - Wikipedia
Touch ME and make my dingle bigger! :-)

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.
The sun finally decided to show up after almost 3 weeks. I went to Kirkland waterfront hoping to get some beautiful sunset. It was hazy and cloudless, all the boats were parked away for the winter-- not exactly what I had in mind. In a distance, you can see the Seattle downtown skyline. They should build some crazy tall skyscrapers, photographers will definitely benefit. :)
This shot was taken 40 minutes after sunset.

I want to do more seascape photography. There is something about moving water that sucks me in. I want to thank Mr. Patrick Smith for his photostream which inspired me. He has some of the best seascape images I have ever seen, and definitely is one of the top notch photographers here on Flickr. He generously puts up detailed descriptions of where, when, and how he took each of his photos. It's a learning experience viewing all his amazing work, as well as great motivation.

Ho riunito in questa scena :la storica rolleiflex con la quale ho scattato l' atrio di Villa Pignatelli a SanGiorgio, il cielo procidano ripreso con la Nikon, il programma Bryce che adoro e l'acqua virtuale e marina, in sintesi il mio mondo.
La foto dell' atrio , duplicata e ribaltata mi ha confermato la piena funzionalità della gloriosa Rolleiflex.
I returned from a shoot at the Sentosa Beach, and liked the yellow lights bathing the trees and the blue background served well...

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.

Persepolis (Takht-e Jamshid - Throne of Jamshid; or Chehel Minar) was the ceremonial capital of the Persian Empire during the Achaemenid dynasty. Persepolis is situated 70 km northeast of the modern city of Shiraz in the Fars Province of modern Iran. Archaeological evidence shows that the earliest remains of Persepolis date from around 515 BC.

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

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.
and maybe I love you

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!
