I drove to Glen Coe with high hopes this morning, I had a photo planed in my head and by God I was going to take it. Needless to say I never got it, the weather heard of my plans and messed it up for me.
I then decided to go down Glen Etive a little way. I've shot these falls a couple of times before, and looking back at previous efforts I have to say this is my best yet by some considerable distance. I hope it takes you to exactly where I was standing, soaking up the atmosphere.

As the storm clouds made their way across the mountains the warm air from the Valley floor caused a dramatic affect to the storms front...
The Rachel is next to the Arber the second highest mountain of the Bavarian forest. The thonderstorm Kyrill has destroyed a great amount of the forest, as can be seen on this picture. Meanwhile, a new generation of trees is growing.
Report from a photo trip to Lofoten -- 22
The eagle tour started at 9 a.m. in glorious weather from Svolvær (Lofoten) and went to the nearby fjords and islands (Trollfjord, specifically: Øyhellsundet), home to a larger population of white-tailed eagles. The eagles, which were still hungry in the morning, were readily persuaded by bait fishes to allow themselves to be observed at close range while catching their prey. Here is a picture of the approach to the prey.
I used the Nikon Z 9 with the 300mm f/4 and a teleconverter 1.4x. This combination is quite lightweight, which is an advantage when standing in the speedboat trying to keep the eagles in the viewfinder. It was a challenge for the autofocus because the light was still rather weak early in the morning (just before sunrise). Denoising was done with DXO-PhotoLab 6.

After catching this guy at MP 67 I was able to catch him again around MP 77 as they approached Bird Point. I had a nice sucker hole to work with that lasted long enough for me to capture this shot.
The 611 heads west on the straightaway at Vicker, just west of Christiansburg. In a few minutes, they'll approach the wye at Walton where they'll spin the train for the trip back east to Roanoke.

That speck in the sky to the upper right of the image is an eagle. I was chasing him and never did get a shot. Followed him from the hills of Quidi Vidi to the Hills of Cukold's Cove. Got the boat though. Like those nice big moving targets. : ) I don't think you chase eagles. They'll have none of it!
A pretty village on quiet lanes lined by small Cotswold cottages, barn conversions and a scattering of large Victorian 'country-piles' hidden behind high walls and mature trees, the latter probably due to the rural railway station, now long gone on the edge of the village.
Otherwise known as Pontypridd, an Arriva Trains Wales Class 143 Pacer DMU unit coupled with a Class 142 unit at the rear is seen on the approach to Pontypridd in South Wales on a Trehebert to Cardiff service.
Can't wait for Spring to get here - this one was taken last year. I also haven't done any HDR for a while and this image seemed suited for that format.

Earlier this month I had the great fortune of reaching the top of Mt. Rainier for the fifth time. This trip was extra special for a several reasons. First, our friends Mike and Kayleen flew out from Maryland. For the past ten years they dreamed of one day standing on Rainier's summit. Helping them reach the top was a definite highlight of the summer. Second, we had the route to ourselves. Crap weather, fog, drizzle, snow, detered other parties from making the trip up to Campo Schurman. It was sweet waking up at 12:15 am, unzipping the tent door, and seeing stars above and clouds below. Lastly, the sunrise was the best I'd seen from Rainier. Unfortunately, I kept my camera in my pack, missing much of the best color (I'm still experiencing a bit of PTSD after watching a camera bag full of equipment roll into a crevase on Baker eight years ago.). In this shot, Kayleen and Mike are taking a well earned break somewhere around the 12,500 foot level.
