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.

Another from the same evening after supper at Fisherman's Cove ..the sky kept getting prettier and more colorful, thanks to that distant haze I guess. This is a 3 exposure blend using Lightroom Enfuse plug in, with a few adjustments afterwards. I didn't have a tripod so I am really impressed with how Enfuse aligned the images. If you look at the large size you can see the ghost of a walking man.
Tomorrow I am packing for a trip to Vancouver for my neice's wedding so I may get a few minutes to upload a bunch of "boring local shots" before I HOPEFULLY get some nice majestic BC mountain photos next week!

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.

'Aligned'
The Milky Way stands vertically over some Tafoni Sandstone structures on the California coast. The stoney lines and honeycomb structures repeat the starry band and dust lanes in the sky. They stretch out and almost touch each other, but remain separated by the turbulent and ominously dark waters of the Pacific Ocean.
