The wasps and broken glass aside this now decaying greenhouse is something straight from a fairy tale or a Disney movie, a terrific location to spend ones Saturday afternoon to be honest.
The greenhouse was built on the side of a large castle in Europe that is far from abandoned (although it sure looks like it from the outside). However out the back a German Shepard awaits you with its bare teeth.
For once I got to shoot a location with too much light as it poured in through the broken glass above, a rare treat in Urban Exploring. With the light came heat, shooting in a greenhouse certainly is a warming experience.
This unmarked lane in the Napa Valley in California's wine country makes me wonder who lives down there and what sort of wine do they produce! 30-second exposure, no HDR.

The Story
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A temporary break from the seascapes...
I am not sure where this leads, but this is the first in a series that will cover each of the 4 seasons in the Northern Hemisphere, because the leaves will turn Red in late November and then be bare for a couple of months until spring in February or early March. it will look different each time.
I was heading up the Napa valley on a warm day last weekend, when I was once again FORCED to stop and take a shot. Well, actually I waited for the sun to almost go down behind the hills to get warmer light, then I took the verrrrry long shot through the large automatic gate! The leaves moving in the breeze softened the look of the trees for a more impressionistic look and feel. During daylight hours, you have to do something extra to avoid a photo looking like a snapshot. Actually, this would look better with a wet street, but the dry season that lasts until November will make that difficult to pull off!
The map shows exactly where this is. It is right off the road, but no easy parking is available. And make sure nowone is driving towards you!

Simply the best way to scout out locations that there is. You can see sun angles and pre-visualize light under lots of different conditions. Sometimes you can actually pre-compose your shots! This has saved me many thousands of vertical feet of climbing by avoiding spots with blocked views etc.

I won't post a lot of effects pictures, but I am just learning some of this stuff and I really liked this one. It came from a photo I took the other night. That picture is posted as well, but is not as exciting.

Mock-up band shoot with Kane and Debbie for my media coursework.
Woo! fake band shoots in golden hour!
I think they'd make an awesome band, the Butterfly Effect :)

The "compression effect" is something that is around us that we don't really notice that much. The weird thing that happens when viewing a landmark from a distance. Currumbin Rock shot from about 800 meters away with a 500mm lens...the distant buildings of Surfers Paradise (about 20 kms away) appear bigger relative to the rock as you walk further away....thus giving the perception that the buildings are close to the rock....move closer to the rock and they shrink
Thank you for all the comments and faves, my friends.

I love how the sparks illuminate the rain in this shot - have a zoom in on the detail here.
A Piccadilly Line train gets the power down away from Ealing Common and heads towards Acton Town as the shoe leaves the conductor rail section and arcs, illuminating the rain nicely.

Bumblebee trapped in a sunflower time warp! This was an in-camera, not a post-processing effect, created by "zooming" the focal length from 50mm to about 80mm during a 1.5s exposure (made possible with a 6-stop ND filter). The bumblebee is real, but it didn't feel a thing. Photographed at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm.
