Fluttering wings caught my eye - that and the sound of music catching my ear - brought me to the perfect spot to capture the action. A musician serves as the focal point with a supporting cast of fluttering feathered friends. Shutter speed captures both crisp focus and allows movement to show. The birds create whimsical patterns and an implied diagonal line to draw interest to the frame. The shot is well anchored by columns that serve as a backdrop to the action. Shot from almost ground level, the perspective brings me into the action. Rich details aplenty. There is enough in the frame to keep the eye busy exploring. And maybe one can even hear the music.

Exploring what you have seen a thousand times before...
I am actually doing exactly that here in Lacanau-Océan, Aquitaine, France.

Il riflesso del cielo nell'acqua ci invita a scoprire un universo parallelo, dove realtà e immaginazione si intrecciano. Ogni increspatura modifica il disegno, trasformando il familiare in qualcosa di straordinario. Non esistono regole, né limiti: solo la libertà di sognare. In questo gioco di luci e ombre, il confine tra ciò che è reale e ciò che è possibile si dissolve, e siamo liberi di vedere il mondo con occhi nuovi. Lasciamoci trasportare dall'illusione e scopriamo la bellezza nascosta nelle pieghe dell'immaginazione.

DAY 5 - MORMON ROCKS AT SUNSET
Mormon Rocks at sunset
Then, the sun dropped behind Circle Mountain in the far distance. The lingering clouds helped the sky turn pink and orange. And the earth beneath it was slowly getting soaked in pink. The colors were subtle and yet very palpable.
The trail led the eye around this massive sandstone protruding up off the hillside towards the groupings of sandstones in the distance. It was mind boggling to think that such a vast field of unique and almost out of this world sandstone formations was pushed up unearthed by the massive force. Thanks to Andreas fault, we get to see this unique scene. And I get to enjoy this without a single soul around.
The sense of calmness slowly set in.
And it felt like everything just stopped all around me, as if frozen in time.
Mono Lake on Christmas Eve
The rain this winter brought plenty of snow in the mountains of California, and I wanted to see them in the Eastern Sierra. Besides, what else would I do on Christmas Eve and Christmas? So, I headed out to Mono Lake, which has always been one of my favorite spots to see them.
The cold temperature (32F) certainly kept visitors at bay. No one was around at South Tufa, and I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the day of solitude.
I took this as a test shot, but I like it a lot, so I decided to share it. Before completely disappearing, the soft giant softbox, aka clouds diffused light, cast a beautiful light on the Tufa towers.
And look at the reflection of the puffy clouds in the center of the frame! You can’t plan those.
THE ENTRANCE
Going to Haukland beach...what a beautiful place!
It is snowing again today in Bonn, Germany. Will it ever end? ;-)

Through the Lens
When pain becomes the loudest voice I hear,
I pick up my camera and disappear.
I search for the beauty hiding in plain sight,
A fleeting little moment, a shadow, a light.
For through my lens, my aching fades away,
My mind finds somewhere else to be for the day.
I focus on colours, on texture and hue,
On finding the magic in something brand new.
I’ve given photoshoots, just to share the joy,
To capture someone’s beauty, a memory to enjoy.
For giving someone moments they can treasure and keep,
Can sometimes bring happiness when life feels too steep.
Those hills and those beaches, the sunsets aglow,
The birds and the bugs and the streams as they flow.
I’m lost in the moment, completely set free,
Capturing Mother Nature’s treasures open to me.
And when I cannot walk, or my body won’t move,
I return to those moments and find my own groove.
That walk through the forest, that stream rushing by,
That moment with sunlight and warmth from the sky.
For our minds hold memories, so vivid and true,
They can take us right back to the places we knew.
And through every photograph, I’m able to see
A world full of wonder that still lives in me.
So photography isn’t fortune, or followers, or fame,
It’s finding a moment beyond pain’s constant claim.
A doorway to nature, where my mind can be free,
A little piece of healing that Mother Nature gives to me.

Mono Lake on Christmas Eve
The remaining light in the sky was fading fast. Even after I switched the 10-stop ND filter to 3-stop, it took 45 seconds to take the shot that I liked in terms of exposure.
Once the subtle pink of the Earth’s Shadow was completely gone, the world turned blue. And I thought that the saturation would fade soon, and it would leave the world with nothing but grey and black.
I don’t know why but the blue reminded me of 37° 2 le main (37.2°C in the morning), aka Betty Blue. Quite melancholic about the past.
The evening of solitude allowed me to look back at another year fading into a distant memory.
I have been having an on and off affair with Photography the past two years or so. One of my goals is to shoot more this year.
I have shot this spot many years back on a cloudless evening. This time around, there were a few clouds to add more drama to the scene. I am still struggling fiddling around with my gear due to lesser practice. Back then, all those adjustments were done with ease. Well, I'm still trying to bring back my muscle memory!

PROLOGUE: A 2 hours flight from Manila, Sarangani Peninsula lies in lower basin of Mindanao island.It has been a while since I did some serious landscape shoot. Finally a chance to be alone with the sea.
More than a year has past since I last visited this place, with more than 3,000 kms of coastal area facing the mighty Celebes sea. My last visit has enabled me to capture memorable landscapes that have given me awards and recognitions. Truly this revisit is special.
A 45 minutes travel from Gensan, I set out to capture hopefully, enduring and timeless landscapes.
Blessed with a golden light and mighty winds with crashing waves, it was a perfect scene.
These are my takes on my first day in this landscape utopia. Please see latest uploads.
"THREE KINGS"
Many versions of a mangrove tree silhouetting in a glorious sunset have been captured...this is my own version, with almost 2 minute exposure in fleeting light.
SEASCAPES #2 - WHEN TIME FLIES
Lacanau, Aquitaine, France
I took this photo on a day where the light was not good for some dramatic skies etc. To get this effect I used a long exposure time and moved the camera from left to the right horizontally. To get some stones on the exposure I first did not move the camera for a few seconds ... so they would be visible in the final image.

SEASCAPES #2 - DEVIL IN THE SKY
This photo is not a composite! I only dodged and burned the face a bit so it has more contrast. But it was there as you see it! I have no idea what the square in the devils mouth is...amazing clouds that day in Lacanau Ocean.
Shot with the Sony Deutschland A7R3, Rollei C5i tripod.

Mono Lake on Christmas Eve
I walked over to the next spot and started composing a shot. It was getting dark fast, which means it was getting cold fast too.
The water was calm though, and I was able to capture the scene with clear reflections. Of course, they were not complete mirror like reflections. But the contrast against the rough texture of the rocks was quite pleasing.
Once I got a couple of shots that I wanted, I got up and started walking over to the next spot.
Mono Lake, CA
The Dolomites are a landscape photographer’s dream—a natural playground where dramatic geology meets dynamic light. Towering limestone spires, deep valleys, reflective alpine lakes, and ever-shifting weather patterns offer a perfect blend of technical challenge and creative inspiration.

Just Above Ceiling Height
Looking barely down on a ceiling holding lamps in suspension is a perspective that gives a different view. Closing time leaves mostly darkness but they hadn't turned out these lights. The array forms a pattern that joins a ceiling sporting patterns of its own. Splashes of light illuminate just enough to show off details. Spots of other colors offer punctuation - a bit of added interest.
It's a diptych in appearance, even though it's been done in a single frame - either side could stand alone.

Surfma took me to all the cool spots! This was another one on my list. It was very cold, and very windy out there ... but we stayed well past sunset. She got a most excellent shot of me: "The Lone Photographer" ... and it was explored!! How cool is that?
This is a long exposure shot ... and I got quite a few ... but I liked the framing in this particular shot the best. I'm still working on the rest of that photoshoot ... some really nice ones with the sunset nested in the rocks. Most of the sliding on this image was to lighten up the image {it was way too dark}.
Happy Sliders Sunday Everyone!
Project 365
Wednesday • June 2, 2010
I celebrated my birthday today (the last year in my 4th Decade of Life)! I have to say it won't go down as the most memorable. Sometimes, events in life are unfolding, that birthdays tend to take a back seat, especially for us older folks!!
I didn't get a photo for the day so I pulled this from our bike ride trip on Sunday. That was such a wonderful day and I think I'd like to commemorate this day with something that has recently made me happy.
