The Gateshead Millenium Bridge spanning the River Tyne from the Baltic Quays in Gateshead and over to the Quayside at Newcastle upon Tyne.
A break in the 2018 Easter Sunday weather gave us about an hour of nice early evening sunshine.
While walking the Lady Bird Johnson Grove Trail with a view looking up and to the north at nearby coast redwoods in Redwood National Park. While I couldn't capture the entire height of these two nearby redwoods, from base to tree crown, I attempted to capture as much as I could. The idea being that the tree crowns with the skies above would be the focus. The tree itself though would be a leading line looking up into the image. I did though get close enough to the trees so that one could the details in the bark as part of the image captured.
Kumana National Park, in Sri Lanka, has a bird-spotting tower conveniently sited near water. This spot-billed pelican (pelecanus philippensis) was kind enough to fly past just after I reached a suitable viewing point. The side-on view enabled a good illustration of the bird's bill - and the reason for its most often used name. More at "Colin Pacitti Wildlife Photography" - www.colin-pacitti.com.
Lovely blue skies... what to say a major weakness of mine :) Snap shots from my one month visit to God's Own country..

This old Locust tree stands beside a neighbors driveway, next to a utility pole. This is about the only angle I can get a clear photo that I don't have to clone out a whole bunch of junk.
This day, April 7, 2024, is having perfect weather for tomorrow's solar eclipse. Tomorrow is predicted to be partly sunny, meaning there's no chance I'm getting a clear shot of the 90% totality that my area is supposed to see.
An image I like to capture from time to time based on several I've seen on Flickr and a few other photography sites. The idea is to have your hand out front with whatever type of compass you might have and then use that as a way to draw the viewer into the image of something, whether near or far, that is important to the setting. In this case, it happened to be both with the sand dune ridges and then Sangre de Cristo Mountains. I also liked how the blue skies and greens in the mountains added that nice color and terrain contrast to the more earth tones of the nearby sand dunes.
THE MORNING IT IS STILL A BIT ON THE COOL SIDE FOR US. AROUND 14C. EXPECTED TO REACH 17C IN THE AFTERNOON.

While walking the Condor Gulch Trail with a view looking east and then down and across a canyon between ridges in Pinnacles National Park. My thought on composing this image was more of a look back along the path I had just hiked but also a little bit of capturing the view with the nearby ridges the way they opened up with the canyon or draw below and then the more distant ridge. The other thing I had to keep in mind was that the sun was in the direction that I was facing and definitely affecting any exposures that I attempted to capture.
I chose to work with Aurora HDR Pro to better bring that complete setting in the image. I later exported a TIFF image to DxO PhotoLab 6 where I did some final adjustments with contrast, saturation and brightness for the final image.
Thank you all so much for sharing your quality photos which is a great way to see and keep in touch with the world from home. Also for your kind comments and favours which are much valued.

While at the Bear Gulch Day Use Area with a view looking to the northeast at an acorn woodpecker. This is in Pinnacles National Park. What I liked about this image was catching the yellows in the eyes of the woodpecker from a little bit of sunlight that happened to come out around the main face area of the bird.
While walking along the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes area of Death Valley National Park. The setting is looking to the northeast and across the many dunes ridges to my front with the scattered bushes and plant-life. I decided to angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward to create more of a sweeping view across this sandy landscape and bring the mountains off in the distance, higher into the image. I felt that would help to create more of a sense of grandeur across this national park landscape.

One of the few places that we visited on our trip that wasn't a National Park or National Forest... but it is a Natural National Landmark.
Garden of the Gods is located near Colorado Springs, CO, just south of Denver, at the base of Pikes Peak. It has an amazing variety of rock formations and varieties of rocks easily viewable from its many hiking trails within this public park.
