Benbulben, County Sligo. Difficult to get nice light in the West of Ireland. I had to do with some harsh afternoon light. Better than cloud and rain I suppose. Super scenery in this part of the world. 10-22mm on for this. Allows a big sky to be taken in.
The difficult life when you don't have a water connection
You have to fetch water from common water points with the yellow or orange canisters.
Often on foot. With the help of donkeys. Sometimes also with collection carts pulled by donkeys.
Surprisingly difficult to stack these cases - they seem to have a mind of their own, either closing right up together, or falling all over the place. I did contemplate sticking them so that they were evenly spaced, and then decided I would let them go they wanted!
One main light on the right and some slight infill on the left.
A bit of post adjustment to tweek the colour but little else.
Russian Industar 61 L/Z f2.8 50mm
A Bran-colored Flycatcher and its offspring (foreground). These small flycatchers are not rare, but can be difficult to see, as they spend most of their time in the undergrowth foraging for insects. Photographed in Envigado, Central Andes.

Guessing what this is would be difficult so I had better tell you. It’s an in-camera multiple exposure of two ICMs taken of the inside of a corrugated tin roof of a carport in one of the local lanes. The movements were along the lines of the corrugation, but the camera was turned between exposures to create a geometrical abstract image.
I’ll post a static image of the roof and the initial multiple exposure in the first comment as evidence.
The image was suitably cooked, mangled and digested in Affinity Photo with a second firing of the pot in Nik Color Efex. The curious wood grain effect was an artefact resulting from oversharpening (and over-other things) in Affinity.
Wishing you all a happy (and sunny?) Sunday.
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday, and general pixel-messing :)

First job, to the elevator! However, the task of getting into the elevator is becoming more difficult than solving this case. A few hours later we all fitted and took an impromptu snap.
Note. The elevator is actually brilliant and you should visit the Continental to see all the fabulous and stunning views and rooms it offers.
Crack the case before May 22nd, when all will be revealed.
From: May 5th - May 22nd
Where: The Continental

The Birds are amazing to watch as they seem to overcome all apparent obstacles in their way hindering them from the food, the Red-shafted Flicker is an example, on its back perfectly balanced using its tail and enjoying the suet feast
The rage is unnerving. It is, however, understandable. As vicious seizures take over his fragile mind, making sense of it is difficult. No, making sense of it is impossible. He looks at me but cannot see through the bloodied tears running down his face. His involuntary movements and shaking which the seizure causes have caught his own face. Fingernails cutting into his skin. I could not get to cradle and protect him in time to prevent the harm he had caused himself. I reach him and hold him tight. He is shaking violently. He is crying out in pain and distress and is both deafening and frightening. He struggles with cognitive overloading as he recovers, trying to make sense of it. The unspoken question, why? is in those bloodshot eyes. I have no answer, I just hold him. He manages to say 'Help me'.
These attacks are getting worse. I have managed to arrange a neurologist appointment, still a few days away, but hopefully, if the country's industrial action does not stop the consultation, I will have an opportunity to talk through Marc’s decline. I know deep down that there are no answers. Only prayers and the loving support we give as long as we need to.
sembravano proprio volersi affacciare !

This picture is #27 in the 100 Strangers Project - Round 3
Meet Janiece.
Its been a while that I have made any progress on my 100 Strangers project - the situation around the world needless to say isn't the most conducive, plus with the essential masks difficult to approach and make a connection. However, despite being completely unplanned as I waited in my car for picking up food - was difficult to not notice the elegantly yet vibrantly dressed Janiece, despite the mask as she strolled with her friend across the street - the resplendent red and her personality just appealed to the photographer in me. The green in the eyes was just the extra I needed. The always available spare camera in the car came in handy - as I made a quick approach and request. The young lady was happy to oblige - me with mask and socially distanced with the 105 mm lens being a big help.
Janiece is a teaching assistant working with autistic folks - a lot of them her age - and it was visible from her whole tone and enthusiasm of how much she loved what she was doing. Grabbing attention is not new to her - and that's not really surprising - her sense of fashion and her personality always gets her attention from random folks she candidly admitted. She has recently modelled for friends and one thing led to another and she ended up in a music video. An extremely articulate and expressive lady its a pity that I was rusty and seemingly lost my ability to keep track of all the information that she provided (part of the reason was that I was visualizing the pictures and forgot to commit all the details to memory). Her favorite memory - riding rollercoasters - apparently she got that from her dad who loved high adrenaline pursuits and she maintains the same. Her favorite quality of herself - that she is very nice - simple but she meant that she genuinely was just always nice to people (again not at all surprising from the vibe I had speaking to her)
Thanks much Janiece for being a part of the project and for the time and trust - it was great making your acquaintance. Hope you like the pictures.

Very difficult working handheld and find stability and the right angle with the sun to get the most beauty out of these rainy dandelions. Only few pictures are OK.
This one was a difficult target from my latitude as it only rises to a maximum of 19 degrees above the southern horizon, but it is a very cool target I wanted to image in spite of all the atmosphere I imaged this through.
NGC6334 is aptly named the "Cat's Paw Nebula" and is represented here using a natural color palette. NGC 6334 lies about 5500 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius, the Scorpion and spans 50 light years across.
NGC 6334 is one of the most active nurseries of massive stars in our galaxy and is the birthplace of many brilliant blue stars, each nearly ten times the mass of our Sun and only a few million years old. The dust and gas between us and the Cat's Paw filter out much of the blue and green light leaving it primarily red, as it would appear in it's natural color. Some blue/green appear in the brighter areas due to doubly ionized oxygen found there amid the vast quantities of ionized gasses of Hydrogen and Sulpher glowing red.
2020 has been a difficult year for everyone,but I would like to share with u one of the best encounters on the field.

Thor's Hammer at sunrise in Bryce Canyon National Park. It is always difficult to know what to do with the sun when there are no clouds in the sky. In this case, Thor's Hammer came to the rescue!
Difficult to name all these Bee's, I have lots awaiting an ID in my files.
This might be Andrena nigroaenea approaching one of my Foxgloves, Common in lowland Britain. ID help always appreciated

I went to the beach today to watch the sunset but the clouds was blocking the view >__<...It's been a while since I went to the beach to just relax. I took a couple of shots here and there but I like this one for some reason. It has the tilt shift (Did I spell that right?) feeling but sadly my attempt to capture the paddlers with the sunset along didn't happened.
Anyways, I hope someday I could paddle with these guys. It's fun and it's a good work out but you need a lot of stamina.
BTW...feel free to download this photo =)...
This was actually the most difficult splash photo that I've done to date. It took a exhausting 4 takes to get it right. Needless to say, I hot a hot mess on my hands when it was all said and done.
For those interested, the brownie got soaked in 2 out of the 4 takes. It eventually became a hot mess. It was really good though. The coffee gave it an enhanced flavor.
Difficult economic conditions created a strong depopulation of the Maggia valley which in turn led to new emigration. The result was an architectual simplification of the buildings.

One of the most iconic places in the Dolomites is without doubt the Drei Zinnen/Tre Cime massive.
You can make a trip around this wonderful massive, but be prepared to do it with lots of other enthusiasts who want to do the same. Even in October it was extremely busy, so in summer it must be a tourist highway with some traffic jams.
But also it is easy to evade this when coming up to this point you can walk down a little further to discover more (and even better) wonderful scenery, that I will show later.
This shot BTW took me a lot of time to find, and also in post-processing it was a difficult one. I wanted to show the dimensions of the peaks, but very close there was a strong backlight so I couldn't find a decent angle. At the top the backlight too was very prominent, it was difficult to get some contrast on the one hand, and on the other to get some light on the peaks that were at most places in a lot of shade.
By stitching 6 shots in front of the hotel and church, I could show a little bit how impressive they are, and when you look at the middle peak there are two black dots, that you might think these are birds, but in fact they are small airplanes.
It was quite a difficult place to get in, unless you plan way ahead of coming and obtain the necessary tickets, otherwise, good luck. Even with ticket, with some specific reserved time, it was confusing where to go and what to do since once you get to the ticket office, you'd need to exchange your online tickets with the real tickets and there were lines of people lining up and which lines are which...(a long walk uphill to the ticket office where you'd get in). If you missed you reserved time, then you'd not be able to see some of the main places inside. All in all, quite a hassle, but I think if you go to Granada, then I believe that you'd want to visit this place.

From Wikipedia:
The Alhambra (/ælˈhæmbrə/; Spanish: [aˈlambɾa]; Arabic: الْحَمْرَاء [ʔælħæmˈɾˠɑːʔ], Al-Ḥamrā, lit. "The Red One"),[Note 1][Note 2] the complete Arabic form of which was Qalat Al-Hamra,[Note 3] is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It was originally constructed as a small fortress in AD 889 on the remains of Roman fortifications, and then largely ignored until its ruins were renovated and rebuilt in the mid-13th century by the Moorish emir Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar of the Emirate of Granada, who built its current palace and walls. It was converted into a royal palace in 1333 by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada.[1] After the conclusion of the Christian Reconquista in 1492, the site became the Royal Court of Ferdinand and Isabella (where Christopher Columbus received royal endorsement for his expedition), and the palaces were partially altered to Renaissance tastes. In 1526 Charles I & V commissioned a new Renaissance palace better befitting the Holy Roman Emperor in the revolutionary Mannerist style influenced by Humanist philosophy in direct juxtaposition with the Nasrid Andalusian architecture, but which was ultimately never completed due to Morisco rebellions in Granada.

Social distancing hasn't been that difficult to be honest. We live in a remote place in a sparsely populated area, and we're not really the most sociable pair in the world. Add to that I'm an accountant who does landscape photography to deal with the slings and arrows of an oddly chosen career - I was good at maths at school but lacked the imagination to do anything more interesting or rewarding - and you get the picture. Like many of us, I'm happiest when alone, or in the company of a very small number of carefully chosen companions.
Still, social distancing for the last 8 weeks has meant not going out with the camera, and I resigned myself to that fact happily, in support of those who are doing far more important and often dangerous work to keep the nation operating in some sort of way, and to save lives of course. Finally, we are allowed to head out, with caution of course, but it's in the nature of many of us as photographers to head for places at times when we can spread out and point our cameras at views like this.
It was nice to catch up with Lee, who I've not seen since we headed down to the tip of Cornwall at the beginning of March to scope out Kenidjack Valley. This time last year we were planning an adventure to Iceland with enormous excitement. Now, we're just pleased to be at large on our own stomping grounds. It might be all we get to do this year, with plans for wider adventures on hold, but I won't complain. How could I when I have places like this half an hour's drive from the door?
St Michael's Mount rewarded us for two months of patience, with the setting sun over nearby Penzance lighting the subject beautifully. A chance to revisit old haunts and see them anew.
Keep well everyone - keep safe.
A difficult day today. Very dark light meant a low iso and wide apertures resulting in long exposures.

Even today, this is the largest dome made of concrete and has been the largest dome ever for the vast majority of its 2,000 year history. The dome features sunken panels (coffers), in five rings of 28. This evenly spaced layout was difficult to achieve and, it is presumed, had symbolic meaning, either numerical, geometric, or lunar.[56][57] In antiquity, the coffers may have contained bronze stars, rosettes, or other ornaments. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheon,_Rome
It was cold outside ( a whopping 53F in FL) so I decided to learn some more with photoshop. I have to give credit to Arunz Creation's YouTube tutorial. I could have used a more in focus picture, but I was just practicing. Not bad for my first go.
Purple Emperor / apatura iris. Fermyn Woods, Northamptonshire. 05/07/14
I've failed to make any images of grounded PEs this year so have delved into the archives and retrieved this one from back in 2014!
Photographing several males that day was not difficult as they descended frequently to get minerals. This one is having a break from feeding activity, as can be seen from its magnificent coiled proboscis....reminds me of a citric-yellow watch spring!
It’s difficult to believe that more than half of Lassen Volcanic National Park has burned in the Dixie Fire this horrendous wildfire season. I’m wondering what the park will look like when I’m able to return. I’ve intended to revisit the magical landscape of the painted hills and lava beds on the east side of the park but for now, will revisit some of my images taken in 2019 and hope that the landscape is still as it was.
