La isla de James Bond en Tailandia, ubicada en Phuket en la bahía de Phang Nga, fue bautizada con ese nombre tiempo después que se grabara la película de la serie “El hombre de la pistola de oro” en 1974 con Roger Moore como protagonista.

 

Sus recursos naturales, son suficientes razones para que los turistas se queden y disfruten de este paraíso.

 

El día no me deparo la luz que yo esperaba para fotografiar este lugar tan bello, pero es lo que había.

I had to stop one more time and visit the bond waterfalls here in the U.P. of Michigan before my 8 hour drive home, just a stunning place to see and relax.

at sunset we came across a small group of young juvenile male Zebra...they were skittish and mischievous, I peered through the trees with my camera and caught these two in a special moment...

Wikipedia: Khao Phing Kan or Ko Khao Phing Kan is an island in Thailand, in Phang Nga Bay northeast of Phuket. About 40 meters (130 ft) from the shores of Khao Phing Kan lies a 20-meter (66 ft) tall islet called Ko Ta Pu or Ko Tapu.

 

The islands are limestone karst towers and are a part of Ao Phang Nga National Park. Since 1974, when they were featured in the James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun, Khao Phing Kan and Ko Ta Pu – both separately and collectively – have been popularly called James Bond Island.

 

Before 1974, the island was a rarely visited indigenous area. However, it was chosen as one of the locations for the 1974 James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun as the hideout for Bond's antagonist, Francisco Scaramanga. After the movie release it turned into a popular tourist destination. Popularity and increased tourism left Khao Phing Kan with substantial litter.

 

In 1981, the island became the most famous part of the newly established Ao Phang Nga Marine National Park. Since 1998, it is forbidden for tourist boats to approach Ko Ta Pu. This measure aims to stop erosion of the limestone rocks on and near the islet that might eventually result in the island's collapse.

 

(As a footnote, I noticed trash receptacles placed around the island and no litter was observed.)

This image is just a humble but wholehearted tribute to the man I have admired most in my life. I took it just four days before he passed away at age 93. The metastasis in his brain had him unsettled and delirious during the last few days of his life, and holding his hand seemed to give him peace, at least for a short while. When I see this photo a hint of sorrow certainly hits me, but the overwhelming feeling is gratitude to this unaffected yet great man I had the privilege to call “dad” for more than fifty years.

Helgoland series: The Bond

 

Northern Gannets are very gentle and affectionate towards their partners. Sometimes the lifelong bond between the breeding partners seems almost tangible.

 

Basstölpelpaare gehen sehr zärtlich miteinander um - zwischen ihnen wird die lebenslange Bindung fast greifbar.

An annual visit to the sea cliffs at Bempton brings with it the sight, sound and yes, smell of the huge seabird colony. The most prominent are the hugely impressive Gannets. Pairs bond for life and reaffirm that bond every year at their breeding grounds. This bonding process includes rubbing their beaks together and entwine their necks.

I spent two days photographing in the Bond Falls area last week. Bond Falls is in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan near Watersmeet. A generous man let us camp behind his resort, plug into his electricity, and use the resort bathrooms. There are great people out there.

 

I used my tripod and polarizer to slow down the water---the color and light was a gift.

This pup's best chance is a strong bond with it's mom. This mama seems to have a very good one with her pup. She helped it in every way she could. I observed a lot of bonding activity including the pup riding on her back. You can see how difficult it is for the pup to stay on the log.

A fall shot of lower Bond Falls from 2014.

I like colorful fall reflections on water and I am always on the lookout for them. When I saw these at Bond Falls in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan I was amazed. The day before in the afternoon there was nothing like this, but at 9:00 am the next day the river was covered in color. I went to work and recorded many different images.

 

To make this I had to use a tripod, shoot at 100 ISO, have a slow shutter, and a small aperture. I spent most of my time shooting the little mini-falls that precede the dramatic bottom falls.

 

Camera settings: ISO 100, aperture f/13, shutter .3 sec, focal length 48 mm

Just back from a great trip to the Northwoods of Wisconsin and the UP of Michigan. We were fortunate to hit "peak" fall color which was as good as any we have seen in the Northwoods (smile!).

 

Shown here is picturesque Bond Falls (upper falls) in Michigan's upper peninsula.

This is upstream from the big falls, but I liked how the water came from several directions.

This is a sight I had never seen before last year, Gannets flying in tight formation the crucial thing is the date March 1st . Its not a great shot but I wanted to keep a record

 

We had gone to Bempton just to walk the cliff tops not really expecting much bird activity . However a RSPB warden told us that the Gannets were just beginning to the return to the cliffs and they arrive back in large groups . When they have mated they tend to hunt individually

 

Northern Gannets mate for life. Young birds reach maturity between the ages of four and five. They begin breeding between March and April. Northern Gannets mainly breed in colonies and breeding sites, also called “gannetries”, on cliffs and offshore islands. They tend to stay loyal to their breeding sites and return to the colony they were born in. Experienced adults usually arrive at the breeding grounds earlier than juveniles, to re-bond with their mate and to defend their territory against rival seabirds.

Their migration routes differ depending on their age. The timing and duration of their migration could also substantially change the geographical location of “gannetries” can also influence the migration patterns of this seabird.

Bond Falls is AMAZING - The first thing you see when approaching from the trail is the IMMENSE waterfalls which IS Bond Falls - but walking along the falls on the trail brings you back a bit further and it just seems to get better and better - I loved this particular spot as it depicts the beauty of the woods and the Waterfalls seeping through - and of course Autumn has arrived!!

Bonding Ritual?

 

Even though I could not see a nest or chicks, I watched this pair of Black-necked Stilts very aggressively defending a small island at Bombay Hook NWR. If shorebirds landed close by one would fly off to chase them away, if a gull or Osprey got too close both would chase it away.

 

Besides this, on two or three occasions when there was no intruder, the pair flew up almost vertically close together, calling loudly then glided back to the island. I am speculating that this interesting behavior might perhaps be a bonding ritual.

PS Yesterday others spotted their chick on the island

 

On our way to Keeweenau Peninsula, we saw a sign for Bond Falls. Having seen this on Flickr before, I knew it was worth a stop even though we were in a hurry.

Someone else was in a hurry too, just saw on a U.P. website that someone had left a camera and tripod there.

The fish bite the best at night. I have photographed these 2 a few times now. The bond they have is amazing. Maybe we need a lot more fishing in the world today.

A long exposure with a 10 stop ND filter at the Bond Bridge in North Kansas City, Missouri. I adjusted the image in nik collection to give it a darker tone. I left the rocks in the foreground with some available light to anchor the image. Thoughts?

This is New York City shot at the corner of Bond and Lafayette streets. I like this shot in black and white, which is what I started out with back in the days before digital photography, back when you went out on your shoots with 20 rolls of film that would be developed later in your darkroom.

 

I do a lot of street photography with the versatile Olympus lightweight and portable mirrorless E-M1 Mark II Micro four=thirds camera and an Olympus Pro M.12-40mm F2.8 zoom lens. While this is an amazing zoom, I wonder what lies ahead, in better weather, when I shoot the streets with my newly acquired prime 12mm and 25mm (24mm & 50mm full frame equivalents) and how that might affect my photography.

 

Parenthetically, I often look at what equipment other contributors on Flickr use to get a particular shot. I learn a lot that way and it is one major reason why I spend time on Flickr and have a pro account. I'm disappointed when there's no info provided by others, or worse, when they are using artificially constructed non-photographic images to pass for real photography.
