It was probably around 10 months ago now that I took a vested interest into woodland photography. Looking back this was probably brought about through the changing of the seasons and some very inspirational shots I had seen from some prominent and some not so prominent photographers.
It was also about this time that I noticed my photography in genral was shifting, I was no longer trying to compete against shots I had seen on social media or forever chasing that elusive colorful sunrise or sunset (I still do chase these from time to time, mainly in winter when the trees have retired there foliage) instead I was paying more attention to smaller details and how things came together in shape and form. One thing woodland photography isn't is easy, far from it in fact. A lot of my early attempts at woodland photography left me with nothing but frustration. How was it these photographers made it look so easy? I would find what I thought was a great looking characterful tree take some shots of it and the images on review would be lifeless and I just didn't get it, what was I doing wrong? I think I am slowly beginning to have some thought on how to answer this question and hopefully this image is testimony to that.

It is extremely sad to witness puffins resorting to using fishing line to construct their nests. This highlights the impact of human activity on the natural world and the dangerous consequences of littering. The use of fishing line puts the birds' lives at risk and has serious consequences for the puffin and its offspring, including entanglement, injury, and death. It is crucial that we all take responsibility for preserving the environment and its inhabitants by disposing of waste properly and reducing our reliance on harmful materials.
Maestro Pierri learned from his aunt back in Paraguay. At this concert he told us about her; she just died a while ago, having been teaching up to a few weeks before her passing at the age of 101 or so!!
As a Dane, Mikkel Honoré was racing at home today, in this exceptional prologue of the Tour de France in Copenhagen. Having fallen and derailed earlier, the end of the race must have been quite painful.
I did an extended photoshooting with my little model...
so you might get to see some more portraits of her ;))
Have a wonderful and peaceful sunday!!!

Blood starts to bubble, brain starts to fry
And I'm staring at myself with dilated eyes
Something inside me, spark that just won't die
No matter how hard I pray away, no matter how I try
Well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side
But Heaven don't need more angels and you just need more time
She says, well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side
But I just want you here tonight, tonight
World starts to crumble, blade starts to cry
Lilith's wandering in her mind like a ghost in denial
Something inside me, spark that just won't die
No matter how hard I pray away, no matter how I try
Well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side
But Heaven don't need more angels and you just need some time
She says, well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side
But I just want you here tonight, tonight
But I just want you here tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)
Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)
Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)
Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)
Oh, tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)
Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)
Oh, tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)
Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)
Tonight
Well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side
But Heaven don't need more angels and
She says, well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side
But I just want you here tonight, tonight
Tonight

St. Vitus Cathedral (Katedrála Svatého Víta), Prague, Czech Republic is a Gothic masterpiece, and for some, the best cathedral in Europe..
The foundation stone was laid by King John of Bohemia in 1344 but it took almost a further six centuries to complete, with the final phase of construction taking place during the period 1873-1929.
The cathedral was so busy with tourists as you would expect, I was very lucky getting these shots as a little later I was told by security that I couldn't use a tripod!!! Phew!!!
A total of 8 Pixel Shift portrait images (the original collage is over 670mb in size) taken with the Pentax K3 II paired with the Samyang 10mm f/2.8 ED AS NCS CS (Ultra Wide Angle) lens mounted on the Manfrotto Tripod with Manfrotto Pan head 391RC2 and triggered using a Pentax remote,
Stitched together in the Photomerge feature in Photoshop on iMac then a pretty much standard run through in DxO Optics Pro on Mac......so really the image is very similar to the original stills.

I'm impressed that there was still a bee humming around yesterday and still collecting pollen so late into the season.
It was the only (live) bee I saw yesterday and even though the wind was being a little over enthusiastic, I felt determined so I fired away and ended up with this one, which I think turned out pretty good!
Didn't have time yesterday to comment or upload, so I'll catch up today. Yesterday was just too busy and I had to rush after work to hit the road.
Anyway, hope everyone has had a good day.

Sometimes, especially in this tumultuous 20's decade, I've felt like we're living the lyrics of this great old song.
When I log in here and see the world through your eyes: humorous, creative, thoughtful, interesting...I'm back on solid ground again. Thanks (to everyone) for being you.

With faith, discipline and selfless devotion to duty, there is nothing worthwhile that you cannot achieve - Quaid-i- Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Quaid-e-Azam Residency (Urdu: قائد اعظم ریزڈنسی—Qāʾid-e Aʿẓam Rẹziḋinsī), also known as Ziarat Residency, is located in Ziarat, Balochistan, Pakistan. It is where Quaid-e-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah spent the last two months and ten days of his life. It is the most famous landmark of the city, constructed in 1892 during the British Raj. The building is a wooden structure, originally designed as a sanatorium before being converted into the summer residence of the agent of the Governor General. It is declared a national monument and heritage site and is of great architectural importance.
On 15 June 2013, the Residency was targeted with rockets by terrorists and badly damaged.
However, it has been reconstructed and opened to public since 14 August 2014.
Jinnah is one of my ideals and is a symbol of dedication in the history of Indo-Pak subcontinent, today is his birthday.
Dedicated to my Flickr SISTER RK; "Thanks! loved to get in your Grandmaster Series"
SEE YOU SOON ON YOUR STREAMS:)))
I feel a need to post this because I took a spill trying to get here. Bad shoes on slippery rocks = bad news. But I remember holding my camera high to protect it from the water, while my hip and elbow took the lion's share of the fall. Had to ice down a bit later, but the camera stayed dry. Thus, this was my hardest shot to get of the Maroon Bells.
