It's not often that I manage to capture an image that exceeds my expectations.
I noticed this alignment of pine trees a couple of months ago, and wondered how it might look with the sun setting perfectly within the gap.
There are only a few days in any year where it would be possible to capture a photo exactly like this. Would the weather play along with my plans?
I've been returning to this exact spot most evenings this past week... hoping to capture my pre-visualised shot. Every previous attempt was a failure, with the sun disappearing behind the clouds before it appeared in my frame.
But then yesterday evening I got everything that I was hoping for... and more. I'm stoked! :)

The stars burn above this puddle of the Cottonwood Lakes to the great amusement of the cheering frogs. Three images stacked manually in photoshop.
Venus, Mars and Jupiter glow brightly in the early morning sky, while the moon plays hide and seek with the clouds just to the right of the Mittens, Monument Valley.
Hope your week goes well. Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- they mean a lot to me.

This shot focuses on a quiet, fleeting intersection of two butterflies on a bloom.
In monochrome, the intricate, patterned details of their wings become graphic elements, standing out sharply against the deep, dark background.
It reminds me that even in a world obsessed with structural noise and industrial decay, there exists this fragile, rhythmic elegance that moves at a completely different speed.

Carnac stones are an exceptionally dense collection of megalithic sites around the village of Carnac, in Brittany, consisting of alignments, dolmens, tumuli and single menhirs. More than 3,000 prehistoric standing stones were hewn from local rock and erected by the pre/proto-Celtic people of Brittany, and are the largest such collection in the world. Most of the stones are within the Breton village of Carnac, but some to the east are within La Trinité-sur-Mer. The stones were erected at some stage during the Neolithic period, probably around 3300 BC, but some may date to as old as 4500 BC.

As 2011 winds down, I want to thank all of you who have supported me and my photography. I couldn't have done it without you!
This year saw fellow photographer Joshua Cripps and I teach many full workshops to groups of great and enthusiastic photographers. What a blast! Another sold out workshop this past Saturday was our last outing of the year, but hopefully soon, we will have some new dates and new locations for 2012.

Name: Dexter
Species: Fe-Matoran
Occupation: Technician/Supporter of Toa Fieldus
Titles: Proto-Warrior, Dex, Rando
Alignment: Good
Personality: He is stubborn and tries his best, but is naïve and ignorant to some of the Toa’s situations in life
Element: Iron
Side Powers: Manipulation of other metals
Kanohi: None
Weapons: Twin Dagger Blasters, Cyber Sword/Shield, Shotgun, Assault Rifle, Extendable Limbs, Super Strength, Intelligence
Backstory: When Dexter was young, he always admired the Toa, and always wanted to be just like them. They were courageous, cunning, powerful, and heroic. Dexter wanted a life like that, where he could save people and live a life of nobility. He worked on this and created the Proto-Suit MK I. With this suit, he helped the Toa on many adventures, and even became somewhat of a member of the team, unofficially of course. After many years of grueling fighting and work, his MK I suit was almost no functioning and did not have much life left to give. He took this opportunity to build his grand creation, the Proto-Suit MK II, dubbed “Rando”, after the Ex-Toa of Artillery. This new suit has been a very great ally in the Toa’s forces, and has helped win countless battles, and hopefully will soon lead to the victory for the Toa team.
This is another take on the same Cuban Lily that I posted a few weeks back. Taken at Longwood Gardens with the Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS Lens.

I love these old "Bear" signs -- they're cute and fun. The typo on the one sign ("alinement") does irk me. I worked for years as an editor so it's just natural that typos bug the heck out of me lol
UPDATE: So "alinement" is an alternative spelling. Perhaps it's regional, as I've never seen it spelled that way here in Canada.
I've had this alignment in mind for some time ... and today I finally got around to having a dig at it..
Blossom is starting to appear on some of the trees in our back yard. Spring should be here, but it definitely feels like winter still ... Taken with a vintage Soviet Helios 44-2 58mm lens coupled to my DSLR.
While searching through Google maps looking for a good object facing north for a star trails composition. It dawned on me, I have something in my very own back-garden that not only points north, with an accurate polar alignment it points true north. So out I went and this is the result. I still wanted the use of my telescope being a very clear night with good seeing. So I light painted the scope, took 3 images. Then moved the camera back and up, centred Polaris and took a further 150x 60sec images for the star trails. I then combined the 2 in Photoshop. I thought it represents perfectly the work of an equatorial mount, and what it’s designed to do. Taken with a Canon 6D and Samyang 135 f2 lens @ f2.8

The newly opened First Light Pavilion at Jodrell Bank is designed with a meridian line to track the changing altitude of the Sun through the year. This north-south alignment also means the window lines up with the celestial north pole and so star trails form in symmetry with the building.

Prof. Teresa Anderson and Prof. Tim O'Brien led the project and Tim has an article on meridian lines -
With a shady slide under my belt I felt I needed to get back to some serious sliding - this subject seems to fit quite nicely!! They seem to like the Black Eyed Susan Flowers and were aligned upside down along the stem.
