This nice hoverfly (not wasp) went astray from the flowers right into my open photography bag (charging cable). I gently guided it outside, so that it didn't get caught in there.
The lower right triangle has a right angle and the hoverfly is almost forming a 180 degree angle with the cable.

NMWA had quite the lashup heading west on October 7th- painted B40-8 5968 led the train, which in itself is an uncommon leader. To keep with the corporate blue theme, two blue geeps 326 and 511 trailed, and fourth out was LTEX 1524, the Maine Switching Services MP15 that usually resides at Old Town, hitching a ride west for service. With a beautiful sun hole breaking through the clouds, the power is notched up on the grade at Carmel with a train of 66x9 in tow.

A sunset walk in my favorite local park. The sun was hiding behind the cloud with a trace of light on the water. People were walking on the shore to enjoy this peaceful moment. I saw these two people and aligned them with the sun. The black and white conversion really accentuated the contrast in the scene.
There's been no shortage of wonderful sunrises across the UK over the past several months, and this sunrise, captured on a freezing, frosty and foggy late-December morning, seemed like an ideal opportunity to revisit the south-eastern meadow inside Morden Hall Park, which I last photographed during the autumn over a year ago.
Despite the park's expansive 125 acres of photogenic parkland, wetlands and bridges over the River Wandle, this scene has always been one of my favourite spots to watch the sunrise. I opted for a wider set-up than my previous take, partly to capture the thick layer of fog accumulating around the meadow as the sun came up, but also because I felt this would help to put the tree into some kind of context. The fog was much thicker before dawn, and it was important to me to try to convey the magic this created, but at the same time the sunrise provided a perfect focal point in the image and seemed to complete the scene. To incorporate both of these elements, I continued shooting for a couple of hours, and then used a combination of luminosity and gradient masking, along with the Soft Light and Overlay blend modes, to merge captures of the predawn fog and frost with captures of the sun as it appeared behind the trees and cast a golden glow through the fog.
Once the exposures had been blended, I used a mixture of Curves, Colour Balance and Selective Colour adjustments to bring out the chilly early-morning tones in the shadows of the meadow, while emphasising the warmer tones on the horizon, which was largely achieved with a low-opacity Colour Lookup set to the Crisp Warp preset and using Soft Light. Contrast and structure were reduced in the shadows using Silver Efex Pro set to Luminosity, as I wanted to keep the scene as natural-looking as possible, but I gently increased the texture where the sun was projecting across the meadow using the Detail Extractor and Tonal Contrast filters in Colour Efex Pro, as this seemed to help draw the viewer's eye along the ground, beyond the tree stumps and on towards the sunrise.
It was important to me to convey the simplicity of the lone bare tree at the centre of the foggy sunrise, so I tried keep the post-processing as inconspicuous as I could. The final change I made was to gently blend in a brighter exposure along a small footpath through the frame, which seemed perfectly aligned as it crossed beneath the tree and continued into the distance where the sun was appearing on the horizon. As ethereal as the scene is on a morning when the parkland is almost deserted, the footpath seemed to add a hint of a human element, leaving a reminder that beautiful landscape and dramatic weather conditions are there to be seen and enjoyed.

Sometimes all the elements align; a hint of morning light on the peaks, a little fog hanging in the meadow, and two beautiful bull moose who just shed their velvet....have a great weekend!!
The San Rafael & Bay Bridge - San Rafael, California
This morning I woke up and headed out for sunrise, with no real direction. I figured I would just follow the clearing storm and light until I found something interesting.
I made a quick stop up in the Marin Headlands, but nothing really grabbed my attention. I was thinking of heading into the San Francisco and over to the industrial area on the south / east end, but decided I would make a trip over to this spot. I came across this composition back in late November, but I didn't have a long enough lens to compose the image how I would have liked, so I left it alone for the time being. Finally, after over a year of being stuck in the 105mm or less range, I decided to pick up a 70-200 zoom. So with the 70-200, and no real direction, I came over to this cove and waited for sunrise.

About as autumn-y as it gets, a memory from a couple of weeks ago in the Alps. I knew about this waterfall being located on the way to the mountains and during the week I spent camping in the area I didn't have much interest in shooting it, but on the very last morning, when leaving the fog covered valley, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to pay this place a short visit and snap this image.
Galaxies Aligned - Or is it planets? Whichever it is, last night was epic Milky-way hunting conditions, as I was down in Cornwall, I headed to St Michaels Mount. I chose rather than go uber wide, to use a 50mm lens for this, and I like the results. The 3am wake up call was less fun, this was shot about 3.40am.
Shot with my Sony UK a7R3 and FE 50mm 1.8 Lens, I then used the epic Alyn Wallace Photography's presets to edit this. It is a 3 single shot vertical pano, no stacking involved. ISO 1250 - 50mm - f1.8 - 10secs
Hope you like it.
