It's hard to believe that this time last year The Empress was covered in ivy. Apparently it was causing structural damage. What was amazing, is the scafolding over the summer that they put up had an empess cover, so it looked like this as soon as the scafolding went up. Impressive attention to detail.

Bee in Flight

 

Today i visited the Cranbourne Botanical Gardens to capture some Macro and Bird photos (It felt like it had been awhile since I had been out taking photos). I had two main goals when I visited and that was to capture a (hopefully) half decent macro shot of a Bee or related insect and the same for some Bird photographs. I tried shooting with the Raynox DCR-250 but hand held was a bit of a pain (given there was also wind) so I just used the Nikon D610 and Sigma 150 mm macro in this case.

 

I edited the image in Lightroom and Aurora HDR. I also fed the image through Topaz Denoise AI (because I was handheld so increased the ISO to get a faster shutter speed) as well as Topaz Sharpen AI (just to remove a little motion blur from the Bee as the shutter speed was not quite fast enough)

Landscape photography is the most natural thing to do around the section of Florida I live in. And since its so easy, I should be doing a lot more of it.

 

But life gets in the way. There are dozens of perfect evenings that I let slip by. No matter what I'm doing, I still look out the window to see what I'm missing. I think sailors do the same thing.

 

I don't get a lot of opportunities to take pictures of the mountains. I think of that as landscape photography. However, in Florida, we use clouds as stand-ins for peaks. They are usually interesting enough to fill up the top half of a frame. Throw in a sunset and Bob's or uncle.

A shot taken almost under the canopy near the main entrance of the Dr P Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, big angles looking up at the lights over the roadway where no doubt VIPs are dropped from their limousine on gala nights.

Out and about in an imaginary street at an imaginary night time scene

Last year this time we still had feet of snow on the ground. Hyacinths are starting to bloom and the grass is growing!

From Wikipedia:

 

Gullfoss is a waterfall located in the canyon of the Hvítá river in southwest Iceland.

 

The Hvítá river flows southward, and about a kilometre above the falls it turns sharply to the right and flows down into a wide curved three-step "staircase" and then abruptly plunges in two stages (11 metres or 36 feet, and 21 metres or 69 feet) into a crevice 32 metres (105 ft) deep. The crevice, about 20 metres (66 ft) wide and 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) in length, extends perpendicular to the flow of the river. The average amount of water running down the waterfall is 141 cubic metres (5,000 cu ft) per second in the summer and 80 cubic metres (2,800 cu ft) per second in the winter. The highest flood measured was 2,000 cubic metres (71,000 cu ft) per second.

 

During the first half of the 20th century and some years into the late 20th century, there was much speculation about using Gullfoss to generate electricity. During this period, the waterfall was rented indirectly by its owners, Tómas Tómasson and Halldór Halldórsson, to foreign investors. However, the investors' attempts were unsuccessful, partly due to lack of money. The waterfall was later sold to the state of Iceland, and is now protected.

 

Sigríður Tómasdóttir, the daughter of Tómas Tómasson, was determined to preserve the waterfall's condition and even threatened to throw herself down. Although it is widely believed, the very popular story that Sigríður saved the waterfall from exploitation is untrue.[citation needed] A stone memorial to Sigriður, located above the falls, depicts her profile.
