About the location:
Last night I was lazing around the house, not really motivated to do anything. At around 2:00am I realized that sunrise was only a couple of hours away so I checked the Yahoo weather map conveniently located in the titlebar in Flickr, and it was showing a thin cloud layer to the west moving around 5 mph in my direction. This location is only 35 minutes from my house so I decided that I would stay up through the night and get a super early start. I always face a difficult choice on my way up into the mountains. If I head west on Hwy 138 then I have only this view without any backup locations, but if I head east I have several other options but no view that includes the city, so I have to feel pretty confident about the cloud coverage to head west but I could feel the light coming on this morning. This is a view over Lone Pine Canyon road, the city in the distance, because of the angle looks like one but is actually 3 cities, San Bernardino, Redlands and Beaumont blending together and leading up to Mount San Jacinto in the background.
About the shot:
This was shot using a technique in which you trick the camera into thinking something it's not seeing. I first set the camera to spot metering and metered the sky. Then it set the camera to underexpose by 2 stops switch to manual focus and refocus on the city lights, then I light painted the foreground with a couple of lights at a WB of 5000k.
Thank you for taking the time to visit and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.

Griffon Vulture adult flight_w_ (Gyps fulvus)-6538
Like other vultures, it is a scavenger, feeding mostly from carcasses of dead animals which it finds by soaring over open areas, often moving in flocks. It establishes nesting colonies in cliffs that are undisturbed by humans while coverage of open areas and availability of dead animals within dozens of kilometres of these cliffs is high. These huge birds grunts and hisses at roosts or when feeding on carrion.
In many cultures around the world, particularly in Western societies, vultures are viewed with disdain. Commonly, people tend to look down on these birds as dirty, ugly, and unhygienic, failing to recognise their importance. People of other cultures, however, hold the vulture in high regard. This is true with the inhabitants of the Tibetan plateau, where vultures are part of traditional funerary customs. In this culture, people are not buried after death as a means of controlling preventable infectious diseases. Instead, the dead are laid to rest in the sky. Monks prepare the bodies of the deceased and set them on platforms to draw the attention of nearby vultures. The vultures discover these human bodies, ingesting them and carrying them off into the sky. Many people view this as one final good deed as the deceased is able to offer something to another living creature before going off to rest in the sky. This practice is not unique to Tibet, however. Historical evidence suggests it has been practiced by cultures around the world for over 11,000 years.
The maximum recorded lifespan of the griffon vulture is 41.4 years for an individual in captivity

OK...so I have seen postage stamps bigger than the article the Telegraph wrote on my work the other day, but all coverage is good coverage as far as I am concerned. Thanks Telegraph!
Close to maximum solar eclipse coverage in Livingston Manor, NY before clouds rolled in. At this point during the eclipse the ambient light dimmed as if it were twilight. The clouds made the environment even darker.
Our Daily Challenge - Twilight - 8/16/17
A straightforward photograph that to some degree shows the jungle terrain around Sepilok. The tree coverage is extremely intense with only a small amount of daylight able to penetrate the canopy. Perhaps this photo will give some idea of why it was so hard to spot wildlife, birds or otherwise.
One aspect that can't be ascertained here is the humidity. Wow, it was hot and sweaty.
L591 rolls north on the Mayville Sub with everyone's favorite geep, GMTX 2322. This Milwaukee Road branch once stretched all the way to Fon Du Lac, passing in close proximity to the legendary Byron Hill. In the WSOR days, it's simply a short branch to Mayville. However, the 7 mile line is packed full of interesting locations such as this one, where they traverse a roller-coaster-like profile by the trash dump south of Mayville.
I had intentions to come back in the Autumn to do this, but I never made good on those plans, leaving a pretty gaping hole in my coverage. A major regret of mine.
It seems HSBC has airport jetties covered worldwide...

We were blessed to have some great cloud layers during the month of September--often the coverage was such that it blotted out the sunset I was waiting for. Such was the case on this evening... but I'm looking forward to what the fall will bring.
This is a spot that I refer to as the "Corn Nook," although the field was planted with soybeans this year instead of corn. It is about a quarter of a mile from where we used to live out in the rural countryside a couple of miles south of Colchester. On the spur of the moment and with only seconds to spare, I decided to drive down there to see the sunset.
The tree stands by itself in a patch of grass between the blacktop pavement and the field itself. To take pictures of this spot at sunset, I often use a tripod set up on the blacktop road... I could always hear the cars and pickup trucks coming while they were still a half a mile away. I chose to make a handheld shot this time, though.

The recent partial lunar eclipse over Monticello, NY taken with a Canon 7D MKII dslr camera on a fixed tripod using a Canon 400mm f/5.6 lens.
in 1966, at independence, botswana was the second poorest country in the world. perhaps that is why it was not fought over by the colonial powers. since independence, the discovery of diamonds changed the economics of the country. the government actually used diamond revenues to invest in health and education. every citizen has health care coverage, private insurances compete with the national service.
tomorrow, june 25, a major rally will be held in washington dc, by the national physician's alliance (a group that emerged out of a student organization so that physicians for whom patient advocacy was a core value, could have a voice). the us struggles to provide health coverage to all. the american medical association has once again shown its venal nature by opposing any national health plan as an option on the table.
Animal overpopulation in the East End is a major problem, slowly but surely we are getting support from the media in addressing the importance of Spay/Neuter.
The other day I ran across this ivy covered building in South Bend and found it so remarkable in its dense, dripping coverage that I had to get a shot of it. Then, a few blocks away, I came across a new high end housing development overlooking Four Winds Field. The name of it is "The Ivy of Berlin Place."
In the window in the photo below you can see a promotional piece for it showing an old brick wall covered with ivy. Is it being implied that the calibre of the apartments is "ivy league?" I'm not sure but I found it very ironic that they got as far as creating the pristine brick walls and yet, so far, not a speck of ivy on them!

Kinda decided at the last minute to attempt some eclipse shots... We had about 60% coverage here.
Pentax K-3 with Pentax-M 200mm F/4, Kiron MC7 2X tele-converter, and a couple of Firecrest IRND filters (a 1.2 and a 2.7). Also added a Pentax 1.4X HD DA AW tele-converter for two of these shots, and then scaled them down to match the others. I'm impressed that the old Pentax 200mm seems very well-calibrated for infinity. I tried to use my HD DA 55-300mm, but focusing was really difficult... Wound up shooting around F/11, 1/640 and ISO160, as I recall. Sorry: the exposure isn't exactly the same in all four frames...

The coverage of 16mm can include your toes and maybe shows too much of some subjects. Here Toe Free is a mainly quiet just off the roadside evening scene. Without added LED illumination from a none photographic light there would be less to see, less contrast, less colour and less shadow realm within the hedgerow, the mainly quiet just off the roadside almost hedgerow.
These flowers are blooming on track off the roadside. They are a part of an ad hoc hedgerow. They have sprung up where they stand. It is fortunate that they have had a chance to rise and to fulfil nature that adapts and adopts wherever it can taking every opportunity and each chance to enhance the world that we share for the better for all of us.

Clearwater is a city located in Pinellas County, Florida, United States, northwest of Tampa and St. Petersburg. To the west of Clearwater lies the Gulf of Mexico and to the southeast lies Tampa Bay. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 107,685. Clearwater is the county seat of Pinellas County and is the smallest of the three principal cities in the Tampa–St. Petersburg–Clearwater metropolitan area, most commonly referred to as the Tampa Bay Area.
Cleveland Street is one of the city's historic avenues, and the city includes BayCare Ballpark and Coachman Park. The city is separated by the Intracoastal Waterway from Clearwater Beach.
Clearwater is the home of Clearwater Marine Aquarium, where bottlenose dolphins Winter and Hope live.
The global headquarters of the Church of Scientology is located in Clearwater; the organization had tried to take over the city in what was called Project Normandy.
By the early 1900s, Clearwater's population had grown to around 400, ballooning to nearly 1,000 in the winter. Clearwater's oldest existing newspaper, the Clearwater Sun, was first published on March 14, 1914. Clearwater was reincorporated, this time as a city, on May 27, 1915, and was designated the county seat for Pinellas County, which broke from Hillsborough County in 1912. In 1915, a bridge was built across Clearwater Harbor, joining the city with Clearwater Beach to the west. Clearwater Beach, although located on a separate barrier island, belongs to the city of Clearwater and fronts the Gulf of Mexico. A new, much higher bridge now arcs over the bay, replacing the former drawbridge; the connecting road is part of State Road 60 and is called Clearwater Memorial Causeway.
During World War II, Clearwater became a major training base for US troops destined for Europe and the Pacific. Virtually every hotel in the area, including the Belleview Biltmore and the Fort Harrison Hotel, was used as a barracks for new recruits. Vehicle traffic was regularly stopped for companies of soldiers marching through downtown, and nighttime blackouts to confuse potential enemy bombers were common practice. The remote and isolated Dan's Island, now the highrise-dominated Sand Key, was used as a target by U.S. Army Air Corps fighter-bombers for strafing and bombing practice.
