If there's one place that consistently takes my breath away, it'd be Cley, of course. This was a difficult shot because I was shooting into the sun. The bench looks very grand. It has a fabulous view over the marshes.

If you're looking for a peaceful and picturesque setting, you can't beat a golf course. The actual game of golf, maybe not so soothing.....

HFF
More often than not, it is a juvenile bird that flies headlong in my direction. I'm not sure if they are naive and trusting or just young and foolish. Tricolored Heron on Horsepen Bayou.
Zao Onsen Ski Resort
蔵王温泉スキー場
Kurohime Super Giant Course, the southernmost of Zao Onsen. The top of the mountain is winter, and the ice-covered trees on both sides gradually disappear, and the foot of the mountain 1.7km away is sunny in spring. It was a fun course where you can enjoy the change in snow quality.
蔵王温泉の最も南、黒姫スーバージャイアントコース。山の上の方は冬、徐々に両サイドの樹氷がなくなり、1.7km先の麓は春の陽気。雪質の変化も楽しめる楽しいコースでした。
Kaminoyama city, Yamagata pref, Japan
Foinaven in the distance on the left and Arkle looming larger towards the centre.
I am not sure about this image, the surface of Loch Stack was heavily rippled by the wind and uninviting but I persevered with a 10 stop ND filter resulting in a 30 second exposure. What do you think?
Willowbrook Golf Course located in the City of Winter Haven in Polk County Florida U.S.A.
Located in Central Florida's Polk County, Willowbrook's well-manicured layout in a natural setting combines mature trees, water hazards, bunkers and doglegs to challenge the experts, yet provides plenty of opportunities for pars and birdies. Willowbrook's natural setting affords players the opportunity to see a variety of wildlife, including alligators, herons, cranes, foxes, ibises and many more of Florida's natural inhabitants.

The Charlene A and crew heading out. The cabin light is on, steaming along at 7.5 knots. The fog is heavy, you can smell and taste the salt in the air. It's time to go fishing.
Amazing clouds spiralling out from a slowly approaching stormy front dominated the blue sky that morning. Cotswold Way. Lansdown, near Bath. Banes, England, U.K.
Thank you for your visits, favours and comments.
It is pouring with rain actually so my forecast may have been wrong....
My new year resolution that was wavering on day one...I pay for pro but don't upload that many photos' and this is so I get value for my money....One photo per day whether from my extensive archives or newly taken. I don't like frittering my money away....yet if I only uploaded one a month its highly likely that every single one would get Explored...maybe all those that do that are short of money ?
Whatever,.. do whatever makes you happy is my new motto for 2025...Sue ;)
Of course I don’t mean those too ill to upload more photos..in fact my heart goes out to all suffering from any infirmities ❤️
During the pandemic, I enlisted a number of my photography friends in a project. Every 2-3 weeks, we would present ourselves a new photography challenge. This we would complete on our own, of course, but would later share our efforts and discuss any learnings we had achieved from them.
Time passes. The pandemic years are blurry for me now. But our communal photography challenge work remains a memory bright spot.
This composition was created in response to one of these photography challenges: "Create an interesting image that emphasizes light and shadow."
I have created a Flickr Album entitled "At Home Creatives" where a selection of similarly-themed photographs will be found. I invite you to visit and I hope you enjoy.
When I begun to process this exposure bracketing, I thought that I knew what I wanted to attain. I was perfectly wrong. Indeed, these RAW files kept a few secret bits of beauty which I was not aware of when I selected them for processing – and they changed the course of the journey I had foreordained.
I was in a gloomy mood, for both personal and general concerns, and the RAWs looked rather duller than the average – taken: they appeared to accurately mirror the state of my soul. At worst, I would have wasted some hours of pointless procesing work before deciding to look for something better. Nobody would have known. However things were to contradict my expectations. I got some good news (a rarity in those tough days) about the health conditions of my brother and my “adopted brother-in-law” (i.e. my brother’s brother-in-law); on the other hand, Darktable – that wonderful software – gifted me with a few unanticipated treasures. My thoughts were growing more and more positive and the processing of this bracketing were proceeding accordingly: a hidden beauty was unfolding before me, my own persisting unawareness of it notwithstanding. At last I found myself with a picture that had apparently self-processed itself*, while I was busy exploring uncharted thoughts that kept emerging along the way
* Admittedly a bizarre phenomenon, which Maurits Cornelius Escher would have loved – think of his Drawing hands.
I would avoid to nag you about this incredibly wonderful location: you can take a look at my album Silent banks, the complete collection of the photos I have taken there; the attached narratives are rich in information about the place, if you are curious enough.
This location is especially renowned for its legendary morning mists, but only a thin layer of milky mist floated above the water that morning. On top of the hill in the distance, beyond the river, lays the sanctuary of the Madonna della Rocca ( = Madonna of the Rock), already brushed by the first light pouring from the Eastern horizon.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.7/0/+1.7 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then, as usual, I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.
I tried the inverted RGB blue channel technique described by Boris Hajdukovic as a possible final contribution to the processing. While this technique (which, its imposing name notwithstanding, is pretty simple to implement) often holds interesting results in full daylight landscapes, its effects on a low-light capture (e.g. a sunrise) are utterly unpredictable, so at the end of my workflow I often give it a try to ascertain its possibilities. In this picture I have exploited this technique in a very frugal, yet effective, way – just some touches where needed.
RAW files has been processed with Darktable. Denoising with DFine 2 and the Gimp (denoised and original images blended by lightness).
