I’d been to this spot a number of times, but I’d never experienced conditions like this. Saying that I was excited for this to unfold would be a considerable understatement. As always, temperamental changing weather brought magic. This was the front end of a storm rolling in - the combination of still water, warm light breaking through the clouds, and haze/rain in the distance didn’t last long. After just a few minutes the wind picked up destroying the reflection - if you look close you can see the rain had already started when I captured this image.
Also, one of my favourite things about editing and reviewing images is finding the little details I missed when I was shooting. If you look close on the right hand side of the image you’ll see a fellow camper in awe of the scene unfolding as well. I had no idea he/she was in this scene when I shot it - I was too excited about the conditions! I still have no idea who this is, but I like to think it's someone I spoke to while camping there. Their body language really echoed how I was feeling in the moment frankly - just drop what you’re doing and get a look at this!
At the beginning of the year we went to the Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur, California. This beach is famous for the keyhole, a hole in a rock out on the ocean. The sun light shines right through the keyhole at sunset, but only in December and January when the sun is low. This reflection shot is facing the rocks located in the ocean.
I processed a realistic, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Final approach.
At 6.20 pm the sky is blanketed by heavy smoke from the nearby out of control bush fires.
For most the afternoon the smoke blocked the suns rays and transformed was otherwise was a bright sunny day almost night.
Despite the density of the smoke this aircraft flew over the Hastings River and still managed to land at the Port Macquarie airport.

Thursday was a different day with scattered showers and thunderstorms roaming over north Iowa. Sadly, we really didn't get the rain we needed, because it went around us twice in 12 hours.
I got this shot which highlights the turning soybeans right before it clouded over to a dull view..

Heading west approaching Glen Coe beside the Kingshouse Hotel on the A82. I've said this before but if you see this scenery with clear blue skies I think that you are missing something.
The mountain in the foreground on the left is Buachaille Etive Mòr, behind it is Buachaille Etive Beag. In the centre but on the north side of the Glen is Aonach Eagach.
Yes, I have done some processing but only minor tweaks.
I made my way down to the South Yuba River the other day. While I was driving to the river, clouds were rapidly gathering. By the time I made it to this spot on the river I knew that I wouldn't be staying very long. I grabbed a couple of shots and headed back to my vehicle. Before I left the parking lot it had started to hail then quickly turned to snow. It was an interesting drive back home.
At the last moments of light before the night approaches here in San Antonio, Texas. Got home a bit late and was able to get this awesome sunset shot. Hope Y'all like it.

View in large size for awesome details of this wonderful capture.
Roseberry Topping is just a 1000 ft high,but is a prominent landmark for miles around. It lies on the long distance Cleveland Way footpath and provides a strenuous, albeit short, ascent..
Looking south along the shore of Lake Michigan toward downtown on approach into O’Hare. On this flight from Newark, we flew over Saugatuck before crossing the lake.

I'm not 100% satisfied with this one, more like 75%.. But still pretty good for never shooting this location before, and the sun angle, etc.
After a great hike up the valley Helgedalen we were approaching one of the glaciers in Hurrungane - the most alpine of the Norwegian mountain areas.
Approaching Naxos by ferry is a thrilling experience that stirs a sense of adventure and wonder. As the island gradually emerges on the horizon, there's a palpable excitement in the air. The anticipation builds with each passing wave. Passengers traveling to further islands gather on the ferry's deck to capture the views and take selfies.
I was getting my fork tails and hairy foots mixed up, but I now think this is the hairy footed flower bee. Please correct my ID if I'm wrong.
A shot I did with my drone on Stanedge Edge in the Peak District, it was brilliant sunshine an hour earlier, then I got some epic skies, not the shots I had in mind, but certainly so glad I went.
The last two weeks passed quickly since the release of MMV's TransMontana ( flic.kr/p/2oShMTV ). The weather was so stormy in those days when I visited the lake Balaton. This one hit with a heavy downpourshortly after its arrival, but before that it provided an amazing sight.

The WNYP "Slingshot" heads east towards Corry, PA and eventually Falconer, NY on the former Erie. I believe the bridge in the background is the former PRR line that split off from what is now the BPRR, and ran south to Oil City. This was one of the last regularly scheduled runs to Falconer from Meadville as traffic on the WNYP had declined.
Train: WNYP ME-1 with WNYP 430 (C430) and WNYP 427 (C430).

"Huntly Castle sits on the edge of the small market town of Huntly, beside the River Deveron in Aberdeenshire.
The magnificent ruin of this motte and bailey style castle dates from the 12th century. With its splendid architecture, Huntly Castle served as a baronial residence for five centuries. The earliest stronghold on the site sheltered Robert the Bruce in the 14th century.
The palace block, erected in between the 16th and 17th centuries, has an impressive L-plan tower house and defensive earthworks from the civil war. The property is famed for the fine heraldic sculpture and inscribed stone friezes and includes two impressive heraldic fireplaces in the Marchioness’s lodging". [Source Visit Scotland.com]
