This view is taken from up at The Mermaid Pool, in the Staffordshire Peak District (UK). A really beautiful sunset with some lovely oranges and yellows emanating out from the sun, gently covering the landscape. From this vantage point you can see Tittesworth Reservoir, Hen Cloud, The Roaches, Bosley Cloud, Ramshaw Rocks and Shuttlingslow in the far right distance...I just love this view.

I found this very inflated red robin today. It appears it is ready to explode 💥 (Monrepos-2019-.jpg)

Rectangle plexiglass orb...with some explosions...

...still need to work on this technique, but kind of worked

I had another go at processing my star trails from Castle Hill the other day by using fewer shots. When stacking the 60 shots using Sequator I forgot to set it to stack for star trails. Instead Sequator tried to align all the stars. The result I got was totally unexpected and literally out of this world!

First I took the foreground 240 sec exposure, f/5.0, ISO 3200. Next I took a timelapse of 120 images, 30 sec exposure,, f/2.8, ISO 1000, but I only used 30 images for this. Denoised in DxO PhotoLab 6.5. Star trails stacked using Sequator (using aligment). Finally composited with the foreground using Affinity Photo.

Pardon Me

Song by Incubus

Pardon me while I burst

Pardon me while I burst

A decade ago, I never thought I would be

At 23, on the verge of spontaneous combustion, woe is me!

But I guess that it comes with the territory

An ominous landscape of never-ending calamity

I need you to hear, I need you to see

That I have had all I can take

And exploding seems like a definite possibility to me

So pardon me while I burst into flames

I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games

So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame

Pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same

Not two days ago, I was having a look in a book

And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knee

I said I can relate, 'cause lately, I've been thinking of combustication

As a welcome vacation from the burdens of the planet Earth

Like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3D

But thinking so much differently, and

Pardon me while I burst into flames

I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games

So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame

Pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same

Never be the same, yeah

Pardon me while I burst into flames

Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me

So pardon me while I burst into flames

I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games

So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame

Pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same

Pardon me, I'll never be the same, yeah

A sunflower of some kind at the Tucson Botanical Gardens in Tucson, Arizona.

Exploding wave, wonderful light, raging wind, all set against the backdrop of East Cliff

HSS!

The Church of Sanctuary of Our Lady of Tears, Syracuse, Sicily, built to honour of a local miracle in 1953, a weeping statue. It was completed in 1994 but took 28 years to build due to opposition to the design. As suggested by the title, I think the design was almost certainly based on an interpretation of an exploding teardrop.

Only 11 more hours at work then it's a Bank Holiday Weekend :-))

The blackbirds obviously planted this sunflower which has appeared outside our kitchen window and is preparing to explode into life. Next week we'll have some yellow!

Cherry Creek State Park, Colorado

Stormy winter waves crashing onto the Partan Craigs sandstone rocks off Dysart beach. Unlike my previous wave photos there are no seagulls in shot, because the only living creature stupid enough to be out in those conditions was this dumb photographer! Made Explore #370 on 24 May 2008

Pine Tree's,love the wet Spring we are having.

This is about the best firework I got from New Years Eve 2018, unfortunately this year the trees were taller and the fireworks were more to the right out of sight. But at least I tried.

I'll have another attempt for fireworks on the Australia Day Weekend coming up.

Meadow Grass,is full of Seeds.

On a beautiful night at Skagsanden, Lofoten.

Eigentlich wollte ich etwas ganz anderes fotografieren. Vor Ort musste ich feststellen, dass das so gar nicht funktionierte, wie angedacht. Also hab ich kurzerhand umdisponiert und mich auf die Gegend konzentriert. Gottseidank spielte das Wetter mit.

A red flower, that naturally looked like it was exploding, "helped" with post processing.

Taken in my garden.

Photo taken at Randfontein in South Africa.

Using the Tamron SP AF 60mm f/2 Di II MACRO 1:1 LD (IF) (model G005N II) lens.

I am open to critique.
