Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Previously unpublished archive shot from December 2016. I probably held this shot back originally for the motion blur in the woman crossing the road but with hindsight it actually adds to the shot. Enjoy!
"Gordon Bennett" is an informal idiomatic phrase in English used to express surprise or incredulity.
The etymology is somewhat cloudy as there are several nations claiming to have been home to the original Gordon Bennett.
just because........ i actually impeded traffic in the parking lot cause i just had to get this shot. ~grin~ that is really and truly the license plate -- i didn't photoshop it in-- honest!!
actually Hans is not missing as the author's name of the photo is Hans = Yannis!
- Gretel par les Frères Grimm
En fait, Hans ne manque pas car le nom de l'auteur de la photo est Hans = Yannis!
We actually got a little rain today so I picked this rose from the garden and brought it indoors to exploit where it's easier to control the light.
Lighting stuff: Lit with a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box positioned at camera left, and just out of the frame. Fill light is from a hand mirror at camera right. The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N,
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. For each image in the set, and there are over 1900 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/

Pikas are actually a relative of rabbits, but these critters were busy as beavers! Up at the top of Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado yesterday early morning, my camera and I braved some very cold blasts of wind to capture some photos of these little guys that look like they belong in a storybook!
Actually I expected fog but these beautiful clouds were perfectly lit before the actual sunrise!
Eigentlich rechnete ich mit Nebel, aber diese schöne Wolken wurden vor dem effektiven Sonnenaufgang perfekt beleuchtet!
actually 2nd variation of ja lain from a trip to an alaskan rain forrest
the MUSIC: Ja Lain De Ni Maaye
music added because it has the words "ja lain" in the title! lol
Remaining in stay at home mode whilst the controversies of when and how to open swirl opening on the airwaves and in political arenas as the COVID-19 numbers trend downward, continuing to go through the archives I found this image I had taken in 1986 in York Maine of the Nubble Lighthouse or as it was called by the U.S. Coast Guard while under the organizations care Cape Neddick Lightstation. Beautiful lighthouse on the rugged Maine coastline that at the time I captured this image in 1986 on Kodacolor 100 film on my Minolta X-700 was actually manned by the U.S. Coast Guard, a lightkeeper and his family living in the quarters adjacent to the light because it was not automated until the next summer in July of 1987. In 1874 US President Rutherford B. Hayes ordered the building of a lighthouse on the ‘Knub’ of land just east of York Maine. It was completed in 1879 and the US Lighthouse Service began having lightkeeper live in the homestead built on the ‘Knub’ until the Coast Guard took over in 1939. Since then the Maine Lights program was developed in 1994 to save and preserve all the lighthouse of Maine’s coastline. The town of York decided to start the process of acquiring the Nubble Lighthouse and in 1997 the town of York became the permanent guardian of the Nubble Lighthouse thought the Coast Guard continues to maintain and care for the navigational aids the light and the horn.
Buachaillie Etive Mor, as the falls were a bit low on water, i chose a slighty higher up view point. I had to wait a bit as the mountain was almost completely covered in low cloud.

Actually, who cares about fishing? Enjoy the calmness and the beauty of a peaceful lake at day break. #8 in Explore 9th April.
Actually, I wanted to photograph on this icy cold winter morning only the small church in a winter mood with wise trees. Only when I climbed higher with the drone I noticed this great landscape scenario which opened up behind it. There are weather and winter moods that show up only a few times a year, so I was so happy to be at this time in this place...
The crumbling tholtan ruins of Glen Dhoo are engulfed in snowfall on a bitingly cold January day. With this shot I opened up my aperture to soften up the foreground dry stone wall and to speed up my exposure time so that I stood a better chance of freezing the falling snow in mid-air. The haziness you can see in this shot is therefore actually snow and it played total havoc with my gear. Manx snow doesn’t tend to be dry and powdery, rather slushy and wet which drenches camera gear rapidly on contact. Pursuit of the shot can sometimes walk that delicate line between robustly testing gears weather sealing limits and writing the equipment off completely! ❄️🙈

Actually there are signs that say do not feed or pet the horses, there are also cameras. It IS a military base after all. Friendly gaffer though. Grand Forks AFB, Emerado, ND
Seattle, Washington, USA.
(Technically, you’re viewing three different cities in this photo. From foreground to background: Bellevue, Mercer Island, and Seattle).
The title of this photograph is apropos because night time photography of urban landscapes, such as this, is often what sustains my equilibrium. I think some people call this their “happy space” or “happy place".
I think I have two happy spaces: 1) Photographing cities between sunset and nightfall while listening to tunes on my iPod; and 2) Hovering above cities in a doorless helicopter several hundred feet in the air, wind blowing around my body, while capturing the city below on camera. (Yes, I actually am completely at peace, even when there’s turbulence).
These are the two times I am at peace amidst all the pandemonium surrounding us in this world each day. This pandemonium only seems to intensify, so it’s paramount to have a personal moment to decompress and catch one’s breath.
I hope all of you have moments when you can be at peace, even if it’s for a short period of time.

Actually, it is a church at the end of a DOUBLE rainbow at the end of a rain storm at the end of the day. The rainbow missed the water tower on its other side.
This panoramic shot is stitched together from three shots and then cropped. My 20mm lens is pretty wide but this was an ultra wide scene.
Actually, this was the entrance to the main building of The Ulaman on Bali. The round opening reminds one of the round doors of the hobbit houses.
Actually... it's the road to the Sussex village of Redford (aka the Linch Road). The stormy skies were so eerily dark I just had to grab a shot even though there was nothing much to put in the shot!
Actually this was taken shortly after 6am

In the limelight - or well, actually the LED light that the humans have in the living room but the Human does not like very much. But it suits me, doesn't it? Shows off my nice fur. They also replaced the carpet this year. The cow hide missed so many hairs and the Human wanted an animal friendlier alternative. It is a carpet that I can scratch and it has very short hairs sticking up, so it is easy to clean and Big Human doesn't have to sneeze.
You can actually see this Mothership thunderstorm sucking up dirt and stones with its severe updrafts. This storm raced across Kansas at 60mph which made it very difficult to chase. The storm smashed up several towns as well as cutting off the power, it also produced Golfball size Hail and 85mph straight-line winds.
We managed to escape the worst but still took a lot of large hail. Some other chasers weren't as fortunate as they got caught up in it and had their vehicle windows smashed because of the stones and hail near Sharon Springs, Kansas.
If you fancy a photographic storm adventure like this then we are now taking bookings for the 2021 photography masterclass storm chase tour, which is Tour 5. see this link for more details.

Actually, She may be a he, but I call "her" Glory and she is quite comfortable feeding on my deck area where I feed the squirrels. I can walk right up to her and she moves a couple feet away but doesn't fly off. The rest of the mourning doves that come are very skittish and fly away as soon as I open the door.
Actually I wanted to photograph moss sporangium. I had removed a small piece of moss from the stone wall at home and started looking for a good image with the mp-e 65mm on my camera.
I did not expect this group of springtails...
So much life in about a 3 by 2 cm piece of moss. :-)
Actually it's really just a gnarled washed up log, but I like how it framed up this rocky beach after shooting the sunrise behind me.
a scatterscape that pleases me
I actually managed to post a picture for each of the 31 days of Arachtober and that pleases me too.
The Beatles - Please Please Me
I was perplexed where this photo had gone, it’s actually a series of photos that I took back earlier this year, on a day not dissimilar today, cool, sunshine and showers day. Then I realised, it must have been taken on the old memory chard, and indeed there it was! I’m sure there were more photos, but maybe the memory card just said “too full”. It was on Llansteffan beach over in west Wales, there’s a bit of a fact that one needs to know about this beach though too, one which I now know! The fact? This is a beach on an estuary- yeah you’ve worked it out, I went right, which is out towards the ( very rapidly) incoming tide. There was a bit more of a sandy beach which I thought I had plenty of time to investigate, but oh no! I’d scarcely walked 200 metres I should imagine before I realised that I was in a pickle, I needed to jog back to avoid a rather wet end. I though that I had made it, but at that last little part, when I thought I’d be ok the sea just gently flooded the sand in front of me! Nothing for it except a scramble up the rocks, except of course the only way up the rocks was back against the incoming tide. I was very thankful that I only got slightly wet, others who weren’t as confident had some v wet clothes. The coastguard were also called as there was someone in a wheelchair that got stuck. Pays to know the way and not get lost,
(Actually, a smaller section of falls that flows below Oneida.)
I spent Friday hiking at Ricketts Glen State park. RGSP is comprised of 13,000+ acres and spans Luzerne, Sullivan, and Columbia Counties in Pennsylvania. The Glens Natural area holds 22 free-flowing waterfalls that cascade through the hillside. The hiking is difficult at times but is well worth the effort. This is a section of smaller falls that flows just below one of the most popular in the park, Oneida Falls, which you can see in the upper-right background.
Actually only part of what is on tap at West End Outdoors - Athens AL
AMAZING selection of beers and cider and some premo wines like you would never expect!!
As there is a lot of fog today in the Netherlands, the colors, shapes and elements are fading away. The fog is actually swalling up all colors and objects.
Shot is taken at the Rietplas in Houten (the Netherlands).
Actually, you need to be fairly fit, or you will ache all over. And, you need to keep it up daily if you really want to impress. In addition, in this lake, there are some "hugh" fish that will jump out of the water at you. I mean "hugh".
Copenhagen Nyhavn (New Habour but actually the ancient one). It's the charming stroll & entertainment tourist place in the city centre, lined by vividly coloured homes, coffee shops and restaurants. It's also the starting point for sightseeing tours on boats along this & other canals.
One of the most photographed places in Cph and this is my version.

This hidden beauty is actually not hidden at all. This flower is almost 50 cm high and visible from afar with its bright purple flowers. Nevertheless, due to it's location, it is hardly noticed and then only out of the corner of your eye.
That's exactly how I discovered them on the way to the bakery. It is on the route in the side ditch between the road and the field. At first I thought it was a poppy plant, which also comes in this color sometimes. When I parked my car on the way back and walked over here, I saw that it was something different. It is a meadow cranesbill (Geranium pratense) which I had no idea that grows wild here. Incidentally, it got its name from the shape of its fruits, which resemble the shape of a long beak. Unfortunately, none can be seen on this plant here yet.
Diese versteckte Schönheit ist eigentlich garnicht versteckt. Diese Blume ist fast 50 cm hoch und mit ihren leuchtenden lila Blüten weithin sichtbar. Trotzdem wird sie, auf Grund Ihres Standortes kaum wahrgenommen und wenn dann nur aus dem Augenwinkel.
Genau so habe ich sie, auf dem Weg zum Bäcker entdeckt. Sie steht an der Strecke im Seitengraben zwischen Strasse und Feld. Erst dachte ich, es währe eine Mohnpflanze, die gibt es ja auch in dieser Farbe. Als ich dann auf dem Rückweg mein Auto abgestellt habe, und zu hier hingelaufen bin, habe ich gesehen, dass es was anderes ist. Und zwar handelt es sich um einen Wiesenstrorchschnabel (Geranium pratense) von dem ich keine Ahnung hatte, dass der hier wild wächst. Den Namen hat er übrigens wegen der Form seiner Früchte, die an die Form eines langen Schnabels erinnern, Leider sind an dieser Pflanze hier noch keine zu sehen.

I actually took this shot through a closed and rather dirty window also, but I was adjusting some problems on my small camera and so took a few misty scenes. I really liked the street and buildings opposite our own apartment block. Editing brought out those fantastic clouds a lot more and showed more of the mist also. I also realize too much editing can add some unwanted effects as in the trees here (called a halo), so I must be more careful.
… actually from inside the Doubletree Hotel, which has taken over the whole dock.
Explored #2 on March 1st 2022.
Watch it properly @ Gallery Minimal!

Actually this photograph of Selworthy Green in West Somerset was taken last year but I have little doubt it still looks the same this year and will do so next year. The lack of change and the continuity is what makes this location such a popular visitor attraction.
The village is part of the 12,000 acre Holnicote Estate in the care of the National Trust. These two cottages and the others on Selworthy Green were rebuilt in 1828 by Sir Thomas Acland of Killerton. Sir Thomas was a philanthropist and designed the village himself to provide housing for the aged and infirm of the Holnicote Estate.
This is actually one of the locations that Lee and Patrick from Fstoppers.com and I used as a lesson while filming Photographing The World. While some of you already know that, something you may not know is that Lee almost got us kicked out of here for flying his DJI Phantom 2! Apparently local building security thought we were using it to spy on people in their tiny apartments. Thankfully I was able to sweet talk my way out of the situation and still come away with the shot!
It’s unbelievable to me that people can live so tightly packed in like this. On the other hand, it’s also really cool to think that a place that most people rarely give a second look, or consider to be so ugly, can look so beautiful and interesting to a photographer. It reminds me of all those years ago when I was wandering the Stockholm Underground and came across what has always been one of my favorite photos in my portfolio, Belly of the Beast. It’s seeing places like this that always remind me that beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.
