A stunning, backlit ocean displays a rich canvas full of detail revealed by a dazzling sun dance in the western sky. Soft colors add serene energy. The human figure, walking the edge of our continent, is put in perspective. Nice shapes, defined by texture permeate the frame. Treasure in the city.

I scouted this location on December 19th, 2020, and returned the next afternoon with both film and digital cameras. I was given an early Christmas present with the fantastic scene that unfolded around me. Many different bird species use this area as a stopover going south for the winter. I have not received my film rolls back from developing. I find it hard to believe that any of those images will surpass this particular digital shot: especially considering the demanding dynamic range and color of this sunset scene. We shall see in the next few weeks when the film scans arrive.
While searching my archives today I came across this long exposure. I remember this evening very well.
I take so many photos, and so many of them are overlooked, lost & forgotten. I need to stop taking photos!
Silly me. That's not ever going to happen!
Happy Monday!

I have to warn everyone, I am in a beach mood this week!! The best place in the world to be, is right here on a beach, digging toes in the sand and watching the sunrise. That there was a fence off to the side was an amazing coincidence!! And a heart carved on the fence post? Serendipity!!
Thanks SO MUCH to everyone's wonderful comments and dedication posts for my 50th birthday yesterday. The slide into my next decade wasn't as traumatic as I thought it would be!!
Happy "Sunrise" Fence Friday!!
Poznan, Poland
What an incredible, warm evening followed by this delicious sunset. I certainly had my fill of sunshine and ice cream tonight. :)

Giant statements of an architects imagination come to life rise on city streets just waiting for admiration. Grids of patterns decorate the beautifully lit buildings. Reflections, including the source of it all, dance in glass against a field of blue. Nice drama with the slight cant to the right. Spatial relationships are a secret in the urban fragment.

The light changed every second, yet each frame captured a new kind of beauty. A fleeting moment, frozen in time, where motion and magic meet. ✨️
Rain-soaked from relentless Atlantic waves, I aimed my lens down the iconic seawall to catch a tourist celebrating the surge’s triumphant crash. Under Havana’s twilight, the Malecon becomes a stage where human exuberance meets raw ocean force, each droplet glinting like suspended jewels. In capturing this split-second interplay, I learned that art sometimes demands we step into the splash zone—shirt drenched and shutter humming.
Here on the shore, we suffer for our art, discovering that the best moments are worth every salty drop.
I love dramatic sunrises. But sometimes, a gentle sunrise gradually fills the sky like this one. I wish I had the words to express how a sunrise like this makes me feel. Since I don't have the words, I'll let the image speak for me.

A view from Zabriskie point at Death Valley National Park. I took this shot in the morning as the rising sun was lighting up the folds and faraway mountains. Morning sun over the Zabriskie point is an absolutely religious experience and it’s something everyone should witness at least once in their life. The badland formations and the texture of and hues of the landscape is beyond amazing as the golden light gets there just becomes outright stunning. Thanks for visiting hope you enjoy the pics…
Stunning light stopped me in my tracks and fixated me. An ordinary scene made extraordinary by the brilliance of the sun. Painted shadows play with abandon. Building facade is revealed in stark detail. Lacy patterns of tree branches adorn. Removal of color also removes distraction. B&W lets me see the elements in all their glory.

Just wanted to say hello. Came back from Ukraine - not much shooting there but brought a few backlights;-) I was not sure what to do the colour or mono... But i will come back to the colour as well hopefully.
Not quite up to speed yet but hope to catch up within a few days. Hope you all of you are doing well.
On a Saturday morning before the rush of the holiday season, I drove into the city for a sunrise. It is only about 40 miles away, but I would have easily driven a 1000 miles or more to see this sunrise.
Just a fun little twist on the lyrics to: The Proclaimers – I Would Walk 500 Miles

Canon EOS 1V, Kodak Portra 400, ISO 400, Cinestil C-41 Kit
Sometimes I take these side by side, film and digital. A repeat, shot handheld of the tree in the morning mist. This was shot on Kodak Portra 400 with the Canon EOS 1V, the last true professional 35mm film camera ever made. The Canon 1V utilizes the EF mount, so you get that modern, sweet, sweet L glass... Lens is the 70-200 L 2.8 IS III
