Looking north - from the beach at Cramond, near Edinburgh, Scotland - towards Fife as the sun set over my left shoulder and lit up the cloud edges with a hint of red. Moments later the colour was all gone!
I took this image of Colmer's Hill in Dorset while out testing the @Mactremgear AT64C Carbon tripod. In my video review of the tripod, I take it to a number of locations to shoot some landscape images. So, if you are just interested in landscape photography or want to know if this tripod is any good, there is something in this video for you. Check it out at julianbaird.me

I took this in pretty dim conditions and neglected to remove the circular polarizing filter which stole even more light. There was definitely some noise on the final image but DxO cleaned it up beautifully. The final image shows an interesting fungus that I found on the nature trails at Beadalbane on PEI. I know nothing about mushrooms but these big white ones looked beautiful.

This shot shows the other end of the spectrum for new Irix 150mm F2.8 Macro lens - the telephoto end. I also used one of the new Irix EDGE filters here - a circular polarizer. I love using CPLs in the woods to help intensify colors. I've cooled this image while also retaining the warmth of the beech leaves that are still hanging on in late February. I love the contrast of the warm leaves against the polar background. I'm so thankful for the beech leaves that hang around and give me something to shoot late into the winter. See more photos from the Irix 150mm here:

Southern Star Observatory Wheel - Melbourne, Australia
It's too bad it's been missing in action for a few weeks now... because a few weeks ago when the weather was really hot... they found some 'buckling' (caving in)
They had to stop operation so they can repair this magnificent wheel!
Happy Monday Blues!!!

A very tranquil scene at Loch Awe, Scotland with the magnificent ruins of Kilchurn Castle in the background. A low cloud / mist was hanging motionless over the loch.

This is from the alley behind my building in the Brighton Neighborhood of Boston. I’ve been sitting on this one for a long time. This was from the days before I started using the LEE filter system.

Lovely sunset over North Lindstrom Lake, MN. The best of this session was the lone Loon Duck sitting just outside the right of frame who serenaded the setting of the sun.

San Francisco's "other" bridge, the workhorse of the Bay. This is the section between San Francisco and Yerba Buena, the new section (going to Oakland/Emeryville) is taking shape behind the island.
I have been unable to remove the color noise in the cables that was created in part by the circular polarizer.

When Nathan Mattinson asked Rob Morello and I if we wanted to go to the “Greenest place on Earth”, we just looked each other and shrugged. Because when Nathan says do you want to go somewhere, you just follow him. At home amongst the ferns and the waterways, he just knows his way like no one when it comes to rainforest like no one we know. So we were in for a treat.
And he wasn’t even remotely wrong. The cascades around Noojee have moss-covered rocks everywhere the eye can see, and every variation of the colour green. That day was a pure delight to fall in line and follow our rainforest Sherpa with his camouflage waders and bright pink carry bag.
Nymph Lake is the first subalpine lake on the Bear Lake Trail in Rocky Mountain National Park. Lilly pads cover a decent amount of the lake with some starting to bloom on this summer morning.

"One can kill the thing, one loves by loving it to much. Drawn by its Shangri-La cachet, growing tides of tourist descend each day in the farthest reaches of China's Yunnan Province.
But Lijiang, situated near the borders of Tibet, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam, has stood the test of time. Nothing much has changed here since Kublai Khan arrived in 1253." --Peter Moss

A beautiful day in the Japanese Gardens of Lauriston Castle, near Edinburgh, Scotland with the autumnal foliage reflected in the ornamental pond.
I took this image of a waterfall on the Grey Mare's Tail trail while heading home from a holiday in Scotland. I discovered Grey Mare's Tail and Loch Skene thanks to the book Photographing Scotland. It's yet another great roadside location just a few miles off the M74. You can see how I took this image and few others in my latest 5 Minute Photo Adventure video over at: Grey Mare's Tail and Loch Skene: A 5 Minute Photo Adventure
The Japan Autumn Workshop has come to an end, and after not getting out of bed for 24h of rest and recovery I am ready to meet my father this afternoon for two weeks of more adventures across Japan. Hoepfully without as many sunrise wakeup calls.
Weather wasn't too shabby looking, so Stephen Oachs and I made our way over to Yosemite National Park for some shooting at Mono Lake and the Eastern Sierra. Coming into Yosemite NP for the first time was quite an exiting experience for me and it shouldn't be the last one over the course of a week. After checking the conditions on Mono at sunset and deciding not to shoot at all, we enjoyed the comfort of the MoHo to set the plan for the next few days. After some research and frantically checking the weather report for clouds, we decided to push our luck to the limits and hike up to Cathedral Peak for sunset. This is where things start to get a little uncertain, not to say stupid.
We read every possible map and trail report, we could find online and after a 15 minute power nap, it was time to start hiking. Gear? Prepped. Bug spray? Packed. Plenty of water, Gatorade and some energy bars? In the backpack they go. Let's get going. It's 3pm when we started on the Tuolumne Meadows trailhead up to the Cathedral Lakes at roughly 8,600ft., which supposedly is a 3.5 mile, easy hike with a moderate elevation gain (1,100+ ft.) according to most hiking websites. After the first .2 miles, we both were sure, this wasn't going to be easy. Steep switchbacks, packed with stairs and logs made us almost regret the decision to get up there but skies kept looking promising, so we kept hiking.
It wasn't another .2 miles into the steep ascent, we realized we forgot the most important gadget you can have in Yosemite... bear mace! Shit! We keep arguing... How likely is it to be attacked by a black bear? Should we turn around and get the bear mace, just in case and miss the opportunity to make it up to Upper Cathedral Lake in time for sunset? Or should we push stupidity to a new level and keep going? ...and most importantly for me, can I outrun Stephen?
Having climbed the first set of serpentine set of stairs, there's no way of going back to get the mace and we continue to sweat our butts off, in the scorching sun at high elevation, slowly but surely wetting our pants in anticipation of a bear ripping our heads off. Two hours later, after even more steep twists and turns in the trail, we finally reach Upper Cathedral Lake.... great! We have no clue how we made it nor why the descriptions say the hike is easy but we're there. Now we just have to get around the lake, get up on the granite boulders, set up and spend another hour waiting for the right light. Score!
We are now facing Cathedral Peak, the lake is dead calm but we are still not where we want to be. We need to get higher! Done deal, up the rocks we go. No way! This is not going to work.... we can't get any higher without serious climbing gear. Down the slippery granite we go, passing a mule deer and fawn on the shore of the lake and getting up on the other set of boulders. Here is where part one of the most fun part of the day starts. The first two or three sets were easy, compared to what we would encounter later. So we keep going, seeing the light getting better and better and feeling more and more weariness growing in us. We kept telling ourselves that we made it that far, we can't quit now. We're no quitters. The boulders do not seem to end and to get to the desired spot, we have to go all the way up and all the down, just to get around deep drops and to hop over 60ft. crevasses; with our lives depending on a 5 inch pine stem growing out of one of the drops.
We made it to the desired spot, about 150ft. above the lake and at an elevation of 9,716ft. (+/- 32ft. according to Stephen's iPhone). Overlooking Upper Cathedral Lake with the reflection of Cathedral Peak was quite a sight by its own but having some nice clouds made all the hassle to get up there even more worth it.
In the next episode of "Men vs. Fear Bear", all about the descent.

Edit: Replaced the image because I noticed the white balance was a little off. Processing in the MoHo atop the Mono Lake Vista Point with a bright side light might not be the best location to edit your images. So there.
The tawny breadth of Hidden Valley is hemmed in by jumbled broken cliffs as its slope leads the eye downward toward the Mill Creek drainage and the La Sal Mountains near Moab, Utah.
From the very beginning of the trailhead, the route to Hidden Valley switchbacks and rises steeply to a cleft in the Moab Rim. Looking up from the parking lot it is hard to discern just how the trail builders accomplished this task. Once up and through the Rim, the valley reveals itself and the going is much gentler.
When I examined the map earlier, it will come as no surprise to learn that I thought I saw a circuit that would be both scenic and involve a small amount of off-trail travel. My wife and boys, game though they are, have come to be somewhat trepidatious at those words, though I am pleased to say that their fears were unfounded on this occasion. We first followed a double-track 4WD road to an extraordinary overlook where people apparently drive their jeeps out onto a slab of rock that ends in a drop-off high above the Moab valley floor. I am guessing that jeep selfies abound. Lacking a jeep and a selfie stick, and being on foot, we contented ourselves with apple slices and salt and vinegar crisps while we absorbed the sun and vista in the chill spring air.

I'm uploading a few more photos of my dogs. Both of them passed away early this year (2007), having lived full, adventurous lives exploring wild country throughout wilderness areas of the West. I miss them greatly.
This image is of them overlooking First Lake in the John Muir Wilderness. Shot with a Canon Elan 7, Fuji Velvia 50 film, Canon 17-40mm lens, and a 2-stop soft GND.
this is just a more zoomed in frame of the shot that i posted yesterday...that huge cloud over the city looked really amazing...

Mount Rainier seen from the Pinnacle Peak Trail
About 5 minutes after I took this shot, I met Marc Adamus on the trail, which was quite awesome. He has been one of the photographic masters that I have been admiring for years. He gave me a few tips but unfortunately I was on a time crunch (my ride was waiting impatiently at the base of the mountain) and couldn't stay. Anyway, that made my day.

THE BLUES
The skies over Oahu have been overcast the past few days and I needed some color. So I'm going into my archives. ;-)
This photo was taken at Bonshaw on Prince Edward Island. I was standing just inside a local woodland where a creek trickles out of the hills. In the middle of the image is a little walkig bridge over a small river, and in the background more hills and farmhouses. The plethora of wildflowers and dandelion seed complimented the setting perfectly.
