This is a beach near Port Renfrew, Vancouver Island. I was really disappointed with the fog but it does add a neat effect.
Another view showing the single grass like stem and the developing fruits. Found growing wild in the Reserve.
Close in on the face of a sunflower, with individual stamens. You can actually see the bits of pollen on them.
Now that I have fixed the Adobe Infrared processing challenge I can begin to play with the files. The 590nm conversion files can be push processed to do incredible things.
Botany Marshes is on the Swanscombe Peninsula; close to this spot are a number of industrial sites on the north bank of the River Thames at Northfleet. Beyond the little 'hill' in the foreground the Channel Tunnel rail link tunnel under the Thames.

Trees in Botany Bay plantation, South Carolina. This is certainly one of the most unique places I visited in the recent times. It is indeed a photographer's paradise. With lot of trees in the beach, it offers many interesting composition ideas. I was a little sad that I could not make it here for sunrise/sunset (I tried going for sunset the previous evening, but they had closed the plantation due to Dove Hunting season. hmph!) Nevertheless, the following day was cloudy and I was able to take a few interesting shots.
Native to South and Central America and now cultivated in some southern US states, it is popularly referred to as the ‘cannonball tree’ because not only are the fruits as large, round and heavy as their namesakes, but when falling to the earth, they often do so with loud and explosive noises.
The bark, leaves and flowers have by long tradition been used for medicinal purposes by indigenous peoples. Said to have anti-bacterial, antiseptic and analgesic qualities, the bark supposedly cures colds, the juice from its leaves is good for treating malaria and for skin diseases, while chewing young leaves alleviates toothache, and the interior of the fruit can disinfect wounds.
Using Photoshop I picked up the black ink and text from Botany and then printed the image on some handmade paper from India. I'm kind of digging it.
It was such a perfect day, sky is so clear and the seawater was so clam, image taken 30 minutes before the sunset and the tide start creep in. I went down the shore via a pub call Captain Digby form Kingsgate bay.

‘DAWN’ - Port Botany
Dawn breaking over Port Botany, how quickly the conditions changed with just 14 minutes between these two frames… Sitting alongside Sydney Airports 3rd runway (16L/34R( and often seen in images from The Beach as a backdrop.
