..it was Saturday, about 7am, i'd been on the streets since 3am ...and I found myself on Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, the day was just breaking and two young guys passed by ... on their way home from a Friday night out .. they stopped for a chat, they were friendly, knowledgable around the camera and genuinely interested in what I was doing.
Hope you like the pic guys ...

Standing there, in front of the 4-wheel drive, at a distance of approximately 20 meters, Craig was so huge but also so beautiful and relaxed. What an experience!

Ailsa Craig is an island of 99 hectares in the outer Firth of Clyde, 16 kilometres west of mainland Scotland, upon which blue hone granite has long been quarried to make curling stones. The now uninhabited island was formed from the volcanic plug of an extinct volcano.

A visit to the Elan Valley in the spring is a fine day out. The surrounding hills are remote, wild and very soggy at the best of times, so after a thaw and then a lot of Spring rain the water pours down from the hills and fills the reservoirs to the point of spectacularly overflowing. Graig Goch is the top dam of the Elan Valley series, and is perhaps the finest with its elegant curve and arches - the best example of Birmingham
Baroque! The dam is 156m wide and 36m (118 feet) high, so when the water is overflowing it is a sight to behold.
I know it is a bit of a postcard shot - but when the view is this good, why not? For anyone going to photograph the dams in full flow, the morning is best to catch the sun on the water.
Another shot from my travels on Sunday.
This was my first visit to Castle Craig that sits on the north coast of the Black Isle overlooking the Cromarty Firth.
Although some work has been carried out to prop up the inside, it still looks to be on the verge of collapse. There is a lot more information on it's very own website.

Captured on a public access coastal path that crosses Trump Turnberry and leads to Turnberry Lighthouse. The putting green of the 9th hole is in frame.
Ailsa Craig is an island in the Firth of Clyde where microgranite is quarried to make curling stones. This magmatic intrusion was once inhabited and is a part of the North Atlantic Igneous Province, a system of magmatic rocks that formed during the initial opening of the North Atlantic Ocean.
Enjoy!
Another from a fine day out in the Elan Valley. The surrounding hills are remote, wild and very soggy at the best of times, so after a thaw and then a lot of Spring rain the water pours down from the hills and fills the reservoirs to the point of spectacularly overflowing. Graig Goch is the top dam of the Elan Valley series, and is perhaps the finest with its elegant curve and arches. The dam is 156m wide and 36m (118 feet) high, so when the water is overflowing it is a sight to behold particularly when the morning sun is lighting up the falling water.
Beautiful shades of blue across the ocean today after heavy rain had fallen in the morning. Ailsa Craig looked unusual with that cloud over the top and the mist below.
The valley of the Colorado River, in the midst of the island of Mull, is of breathtaking scenic beauty

In Craig Lake State Park. There’s an 8 mile trail that takes you around the entire lake. It was very peaceful there!
Some late afternoon light breaking out above the cliffs of Craig Cau at the head Cwm Cau below Cadair Idris on what had been a murky and damp late afternoon, some light mist and drizzle persisting but most had lifted when this was taken about 50min before sunset. Taken at the outflow from Llyn Cau where the infant Nant Cadair begins it's journey down the cwm to the valley at Tal-y-llyn.
Craig yr Aderyn, also known as Bird's Rock, is a hill rising to a height of 258 metres (846 ft) above sea level on the south bank of the River Dysynni near Llanfihangel-y-Pennant in the county of Gwynedd, north-west Wales. Craig yr Aderyn has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest because of the choughs, cormorants and other birds that breed there.
Ailsa Craig, Scotland.
Ailsa Craig is an island of 240 acres in the outer Firth of Clyde, 16 km west of mainland Scotland, upon which microgranite has long been quarried to make curling stones. The now-uninhabited island comprises the remains of a magmatic pluton formed during the same period of igneous activity as magmatic rocks on the nearby Isle of Arran

This was an old image I've forgotten about. With a new edit I've brought it back to life. The image was take at Trearddur Bay Anglesey.
Craig Goch is one of six dams in the Elan Valley. Not the best weather or light for photography but still lovely to be out with the camera.
Your comments and favs are appreciated more than you know and do not go unnoticed
You have to pick your depth with these (not much) they move extremely quick almost like instantly they are facing in another direction. Anyway I must say this is the best Salticidae image I have made to date.
10 images covered the critical bits at F13 for me
Oh my that light!!
To anyone that sees some mad guy in the parks looking through the leaf litter intently if you ask me Ive already got it worked out to tell you I lost 2 bucks! Maybe then you will look with me and we find more of these blue eyed beauties!

Panorama of Craig Goch Dam in the Elan Valley. Not the best weather or light but still a beautiful part of the world.
Perched atop Mount Stirling in Victoria's alpine or high country, Craig’s Hut was first built as a set for The Man From Snowy River film. The hut has been burnt down and rebuilt a number of times and is now an iconic landmark and a symbol of Australia’s settler history.
Isnt photography just magical. I had a day out a while back to photograph the milky way and found a few issues so armed with a little more kit we set off to the Elan Valley in Wales. It has been so frustrating waiting for clear skies and no moon but here it is. The foreground is half a dozen frames taken as darkness fell the sky is made up of around 30 90s exposures at 800 iso. I made mistakes and the stars have trailed a little but its still only a short night here in the uk so no chance to redo. Im really unsure how to edit this picture. its at night so should be in total darkness but then there would be no foreground. I love these old valve towers on the dam with their copper sheet roofs. A really enjoyable night. i used a really cheep little tracker by a company called MSM. all you need is something that turns the camera at 15 degrees an hour to counter the earths rotation. It helps a lot to keep the iso down and get a lot more colour in the milky way.
In 1874 the first meeting of the North Wales Quarrymen's Union was held on the large rock reflected in the lake. The quarry owners had forbidden meetings to be held on their time or property. As they owned most land in the locality this was effectively prohibiting the Union.
Lord Newborough, who wasn't a quarry owner but possibly liked to stir it a little on occasion, allowed circumvention of the prohibition by granting permission to hold meetings here, on land which he owned.
Passing underneath is the old road to Llanberis, now a pleasant footpath and cycle track.
