Going back in the archives again looking for some inspo.
Pencil Pine Rivulet in the Cradle Mountain - Lake St. Clair National Park.
Didn't like the foreground water in the original shot so it never made it through the 2nd pass - however have applied a little TS blur to it in post and it also softened the background.

A little different than my more recent posts, isn't it? After some discussion with a Facebook friend who posted images of a Eurofighter Typhoon from an airshow in Northern Ireland yesterday, it occurred to me that I hadn't posted this image from earlier this year at the airshow from Langley AFB in Virginia... there was a reason why. This Hornet was flying by so fast and so close that I clipped its nose in the original image... "Rats!" No such luck for a retake, so I combined two images in Photoshop. Sounds easy, right? The angles and lighting were different throughout the series of images, however, so it took a bit of work... of which I will not bore you with the details.
I grew up in a military environment, closely connected to aviation, particularly fast movers like this one. Back in that day, it wasn't unusual to hear the occasional explosive sonic boom... we called it the "Sound of Freedom". Times are different now, though there are some places where it still occurs... for a reason. There's a corridor where my parents once lived (and where my oldest brother now lives) where F-15 Eagles that have undergone repairs and upgrades at Robins AFB in Georgia transition to supersonic speeds and high Gs to make sure parts don't fall off. You can see a tiny arrowhead shape in the upper atmosphere, likely around 8 miles up, moving much faster than commercial aircraft... then you'll notice a puff of vapor around it. As it is with thunder and lightning, depending on how far away it actually is, you'll feel the shock wave as it moved into supersonic speeds seconds later, which is impressive on its own... but the sonic boom afterwards sounds like 10 sticks of dynamite going off, even from so far away. I brought a girlfriend on a visit to my parents many years ago. The whole family was there and we had all just sat down to breakfast when a shock wave occurred that rattled everything in the house... we knew the boom was coming, but acted like nothing had happened. My friend was already wide-eyed with concern to the shock wave, but when we didn't react to the sonic boom, she said, "Am I the only one who heard that?" Our response: "Heard what?" Wish I could have filmed that!
This aircraft is real close to punching through the speed of sound here, in a condition known as transonic... two specific shock waves are made evident in the vapor. Here's the text I used on a previous image of this same aircraft: This is a U.S. Navy F/A-18C Hornet, flown by Lt Scott Lindahl, callsign "MacGruber", with Strike Fighter Squadron 106 (VFA-106) out of Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia. A Hornet looks fast even when it's parked on the ramp... here, MacGruber is pushing it at just under the speed of sound, Mach .96 at sea level, or 730 mph. The jet is condensing the vapor in the air around it by decreasing the air pressure and density along some of its structure at this high speed.
That Mach number isn't consistent along the Hornet's curves... some of the curved parts force the air moving over them to supersonic speed, while linear parts are still subsonic, creating a condition known as transonic... transonic speeds form troughs of lower pressure than the ambient air along the airframe. The rapid pressure change also lowers the temperature around the aircraft enough to reach the dew point... instant clouds on a humid morning such as this. That's the scientific explanation, but here, I'm just as happy that it's making it appear to be doing what it actually is in a still shot... moving fast! Try tracking that in any viewfinder... blink and you've missed it.
I'm former Air Force, and had spent some quality time right here at Langley AFB, in Hampton, Virginia... it was a great show here highlighting airpower at its best, but it was also nice to show my wife some good stompin' grounds from the past. I can't close this without a big thank you to Lt Lindahl for his service in troubled times.

Jounieh, Lebanon. (Dec 24, 2013)
I was impressed by the organized architectural chaos in this particular area of Jounieh in Lebanon. I used the Canon 70-300mm zoom lens which helped to compress the perspective and to maximize the effect of the built-up density on the hill in front of me.

Our second day of shooting started with a sunrise at Emerald Bay. The sun was rising a bit too far south to really include the lower portion of Eagle Creek Falls with the best color. I have a shot I want to post from that morning, but Kendra and I want to post our best shots first and give you each of our takes from the same location, so I decided to post a shot from Friday night's amazing sunset.
We had shot some long exposures using our strong, solid neutral density filters as the storm clouds were racing across the sky. But the park closes at 5pm, and we didn't want to get locked inside the gates, so we wrapped things up at 3pm to move the car up the road and walk back into the park.
As we walked back towards Sand Harbor, a couple signs indicated trails would lead us to some nice vistas. I made the assumption these trails would take us back to Sand Harbor. Nope. Although the vistas were beautiful, they ultimately dead ended in areas up higher than we wanted to shoot.
Once thing about shooting up in the mountains, the sun really sets much earlier than you think. It will drop behind the rim of the Sierra Nevadas and the window of good light seems to last a lot longer than I am used to along the coast.
That being said, I realized our little detours were stealing valuable time from our mission to get to our planned shoot. As some clouds passed over the sun, beams of light starting forming. I got really excited, but anxious at the same time. The second trail we encountered took us down to a beach, more than 1/2 mile from Sand Harbor.
I made the executive decision to stop here and just make due with this little cove. We witnessed one of those beautiful, stormy, sunsets which are both captivating, yet full of challenging light. It actually started snowing on us during the shoot. Better than rain, though. Much better than rain.
Head over to Kendra's shot and read her write-up, well, it's actually my write-up. She is currently asleep on the couch and gave me permission earlier to write her description for her.

A few members asked me to show them the Lee Filter system this was taken using a Hoya Pro 1 Circular Polariser Filter in conjunction with a Lee Little Stopper and a Lee 0.75 Graduated Neutral Density Soft Filter.
2 hours before the sunset. 4 exposures.
2 exposures braketed, 1 light, 1 dark (1.5 f stop separation from middle correct exposure ), 2 middle exposures...one with 2 f stop graduated neautral density, and one without.
All exposures were taken with a circular polarizer, and light yellow HOYA filter.
The graduated neautral density filter, compined with the light yellow filter gave the gray clouded sky a yellowish-bluish magenta color, while the light yallow helped the foreground rocks glow even brighter.
All exposures were manually blended in Photoshop CS2. Adjusments to contrast, levels, and saturation were also made at the end.

When we went to Monaco I expected a quaint small city and instead encountered one of the most absurd cities in Europe. Ridiculous density born by the royal greed as the royal family gets approx. 25% of everything. The architecture is generally hideous and evokes the worst of the 1990's. The casino was at least interesting in its pampering to the ultra rich.
