OK so I'm being a bit lazy, a few people asked about the colour version when I posted the original black and white sometime ago , I was also too lazy to go out tonight and get some nice evening shots so heres the colour version given some HDR treatment whilst watching Lost (cant get into the new series, yeah Im sad I know :-). Quite different when in colour-hope you like it, hope to get out tomorrow night for more new pics
Thanks for explore Front Page folks
A little bit of sunshine goes a long way, especially in these dark winter days.
Kenidjack Common, St Just.
Little fragments of ice riding the waves, waiting for the chance to become a part of something bigger.
The old manse at Kilchrist, Isle of Skye. This was shot late morning with a very low sun, but still able to get a bit of light on the ruin.
Focus stack (50 images) Shot with single off-camera strobe (Godox AD200Pro/XPro II trigger), bare bulb, mounted on overhead boom, bounced off 32 inch white umbrella.
Shot for Macro Mondays - spiral
62 mm (l) x 10 mm (dia)
masonry drill bits differ from normal drill bits in that they have a hardened cutting tip (usually tungsten carbide) that is used to chip/grind hard materials such as masonry, brick or stone rather than cut through the material. The deeply fluted spiral shape that of the bit helps to remove dust and debris from the hole that is formed. Masonry bits are tippically used in hammer drills that use a combination of percussion and rotation to create a hole of the desired dimension
A bit of photoshop fun for Sliders Sunday.
Don't ask about the concept here because I'm not sure there is one LOL.
The base image was taken with an ND filter to get a long exposure which removed all of the traffic. The A380 is one of my stock one which I've used before. I tried to work with the proportions here where the wingspan is 80 meters.. Alas, the width of the M6 here is more like 45 metres (verge to verge) making the shadow's wing span approx 60 metres.. So, still a little short...
Anyway, thought it was (just about) worth sharing.. HSS.
a view of the Fraser River from Deas Island Regional Park. I like watching the river when the tide is changing, there is always a bit of a struggle then finally it succumbs to the inevitable, there are some battles you will never win, you must concede gracefully.

I started off this morning with an idea for a specific theme for an image in me bean, but I needed to find the right picture.
At first, I thought this was it, but after a few minutes of playing I realized it wasn't.
So, just for shits and giggles, I threw a couple more effects at it and came up with this. Not really sure what to call it; a little bit monochrome, a little bit selective coloring, and a whole bunch of playtime abstract.
Japanese Friendship Garden in San José, California.
This is the first bits of jewelry I bought for my wife thirty three years ago. When we first discussed getting married this is what she picked out for the initial ring set and I added earrings and a pendant on a gold chain. Not a spectacular horde but it means something to her that goes beyond extravagance. HMM and thank you for any views, faves and comments.
........ a bit soft on focus but he wasn't particularly interested in sitting for a portrait. There seem to be quite a few of these beauties about this season; as well as monarchs and a scattering of viceroys.
The Yellowhammer is one of my favourite birds but they're getting harder to find in Surrey these days. So I was pleased when I heard this particular birds distinctive song along a hedgerow the other day. It was also great to be able to take a few photos of him in full song.
I have always had a bit of envy for those who can sit with a pencil or paint brush and create true art. I intentionally use the word true as a disseminator reflecting that I am only referring to art that I like. My oldest son Jeremy taught me years ago that all art presented is someone else’s art, not mine. It is an expression of what they see, feel or are trying to express. It all impacts someone in different ways. I believe much of it to be trash!
In this shot, while editing I just couldn’t stand the thought of yet another color shot of a raptor in flight. I have taken and retained hundreds and shared just a few. The raw file of this shot reflects near perfect focus of this top-lite Rough-legged hawk hovering above the tundra just north of Nome Alaska. As one who strives to take only the sharpest photos…nobody sees the hundreds-thousands I get wrong, sometimes blowing blessed encounters all together!
In this case, I may have crossed the line as when editing started on this particular file, it screamed to me to be in black and white…and to be grained up a bit. Maybe the knowledge of knowing the species name, a Rough-legged hawk, subliminally spoke to me. It wasn’t until writing this account this morning that I realized that there might just be much more of a reason.
This shot was taken on 19 August. On the morning of the 20th at daybreak I was on the same road in the same area as this shot was taken. I noticed a Rough-legged hawk laying in the road. It apparently flew into a vehicle…and it’s Nome…not too many vehicles running around, sometime the evening before. I stood over it, wondering if it was the beautiful specimen who allowed me a photo session just hours before, or its mate. With respect, I folded it wings and moved it off the road so that it would not be destroyed by traffic and could be harvested by other creatures who needed it and not waisted.
Then the voice inside of my head simply said “Honor it.” So, I gathered a few dozen feathers from the area and plucked a few more…yes plucked…try not to judge! Maybe another line was crossed here as I do not know the law on harvesting feathers from a dead hawk on an Alaskan roadside. But I authorized myself as I realized that I and others could utilize them in making fishing flies, continuing his/her participation in the cycle of life.
I plan on printing and framing this shot for my office. It will join the other 192 other framed photographs that are mostly there as just a good memory, its addition will be a final aspect of honoring its life.
Bit of an experimental image that I noticed the other day. Might have to come back to this when I find another web in a more harmonious relationship to its background
We had a bit of excitement here in the UK last week. I had a fascinating time trying to capture this, totally alien to me so not great shots all hand held and captured from my home . This is where I would normally capture the sunrise ! I'm sure I haven't done it justice but I tried and tried until I finally surrendered :)
Happy New Week to you. Do you see anything other than the bit of light?
I'm having lower back issues and am behind. I hope to do better. Enjoy the day.
Violet Sabrewing Hummingbird showing the speed of its wingbeat and caught in beautiful light in Costa Rica
Missing this sweet girl. We said goodbye to her in February. It happened to be on the anniversary of Tyler’s passing.
A bit of artistic coastal geology is right up my photographic street. My strong preference for this kind of subject is soft overcast light. Strong sunlight will often overwhelm the subtle tone and colour on which an image like this relies. As ever, however, we work with what we're given. At this time of year, the sun is at least relatively low in the sky, giving raking side light that reveals form and texture. The challenge then becomes about making the most of what's available, which is what I tried to do here. This was the location I most wanted to visit in Northumberland, so I was initially disappointed with both the conditions and my photographic efforts. All the more so when a return visit later in the week was thwarted by driving rain, strong wind and a surging tide, making photography impossible. But the rock strata are so incredible, I have to share one or two images here.
