Misty scene at Savernake Forest, Wiltshire
Took another trip to Savernake Forest last weekend as fog/mist was forecast. I decided I'd try a different bit of the forest from where I've been snapping the veteran oak trees. There was a bit of mist around first thing but not as much as was forecast and it seemed to disappear by about 2 hours after sunrise. I had just packed away and was walking back to the car when the sun rose above the the tree canopy and suddenly there were light beams coming through catching a bit of mist that wasn't visible until then. Couldn't pass that up so out came the gear and I snapped away for a few mins. I quite liked this one and although I did take some bracketed shots just in case this is a single exposure.
Thanks for viewing and hope you all have a great day/weekend.

What I love the most about this shot is that I had just lifted the camera to adjust my settings when these birds flew into view. I clicked the shutter hoping to catch them, not having any idea what my camera was set on, but somehow this shot worked out!
And then the best part about film photography is that you don't even know what you got until you get the film developed 😅 I was pleased when I got my scans back and saw that I got this shot.
This was shot with a Pentax ME Super, on Kodak Portra 160
The city of Jaén is at the heart of the vast olive fields in Andalusia, Spain. The proud shape of Castle of Santa Catalina and the adjacent Parador Nacional de Turismo (a luxury hotel that occupies the ancient stable of the castle) dominate the city and offer a scenic view of the city against the backdrop of the massive mountains of Sierra Morena. It was a rainy day, but while my wife and I were having breakfast, the clouds opened up for a few minutes allowing the sun beams to break through with a dramatic effect. I rushed for my camera and managed to capture the scene.
...it was five days ago...
I saw it...
I thought it...

Today, five days later, I think ...........the beamer was defect.....
...or ...nearly twelve miles were a too big distance...........................!!! ;-)))))))))

Beams were visible around 20klm from captured spot by naked eye...like an extremely powerful torch pointing straight up into the sky....
Absolutely amazing.
This was a super cool wire sculpture in a glass case. I added some photoshop trickery, and to be honest, I'm may have overcooked it. It still looks cool though, however, I may post the unprocessed image as well. Anyway, the reflection from the top of the glass case is all swirly and looks very similar to the "Beam Up" effect in the newest Star Trek movies...thus, the title.
Sun beams in the Upper Antelope Canyon, Page Arizona. A fantastic location. If you want to see the beams be sure to be there about 12 am. They are only visible about two hours (depends on the time of the year). We were lucky and made this shot at about 1 pm, a few minutes later the rays were gone.

It truly was a magical evening on the Lewis Tops a couple of weeks ago. This view looks down the Maruia River, in the general direction of Springs Junction.
My load today out of Phoenix fell through, and nothing else ready today. Anyway, used some of my time catching up a little on Flickr and a little on editing a few pictures.
I like how this Upper Antelope Slot Canyon shot came out, at least when viewing on my laptop, on the phone not so much.
Took a lot of pictures this day back in October of 2016, but haven't really posted that many of them, so guess I've got enough to spread out over the next few years.
Trying a new edit program, Luminar 3. Happy with Light Room, in fact used it some with this as well as the Luminar. Love Topaz, especially AI Clear, but nice to have options.
The sun needs to be directly over head to get sun rays in the canyons, and then it only lasts for a short time, plus the sun is only directly overhead a couple of months a year, May and June I believe. Well this was taken in October, no direct overhead sunlight. That's where Luminar comes in. It's got a really neat sun rays tool, very versatile and lots of control. Once I got the sun rays the way I wanted, I worked on the bottom area to make them look like they were hitting the sand directly below. That was the hardest part. If you're a purist, sorry to disappoint, but I'm trying to make mostly realistic looking images, but don't feel guilty about how I get there. I want to make my pictures unique and hopefully beautiful or at least interesting. So for me it's about artistic license, not a SOOC documentary of scenes. I could do that with my phone.
Well, gonna post this, go get some dinner, then more catching up on Flickr, then beddie bye.
Wir folgen weiter dem Verlauf der U4 und kommen zur Tunnelstation "Hafencity Universität".

I waited for the gulls to cross the beams. Seen on my way to work on Wednesday.
Hope you are having a very good weekend.

I find these rays, slicing the dark and taking the eyes in every possible direction, mesmerizing!
Happy Wednesday dear friends. Always be enlightened and follow the light ☀️:))))
Thanks for your visit.
