Thanks Explore (#66). Best position (#170).
Too many clouds for a fire sky but this sunset has nice multiple structure and some color.

I never tire of this landscape. Taken on the way down from the mountain, showing a fairly rural area with a few quiet houses. Not too far from a city, however!
Taken while in a moving car, so excuse any slight blurs ☺
i had planned to get a photo of Comet Neowise in the night sky from the edge of my garden as has become somewhat customary in the recent weeks, unfortunately nature has conspired against me by providing blankets of cloud at the wrong time. though tonight the sky was clear, unfortunately, the comet has lost its brightness and is now barely descernable, I've added an arrow to point it out.
I am not sure what the light trail is from in the upper region, i never noticed anything pass, though it is very bright, i expect it is a reflection of a passing satellite though please note that the ISS passed around 1/2 hr earlier and further to the south.

Field of orange tulips near Biddinghuizen in the area of Flevoland (The Netherlands). it's like a celebration of Spring. Amazing colors of nature. I took this picture deliberately in this way to get this depth of field.
Please enlarge this picture to see all details. Thank you alll for viewing the picture.
35mm | f4.0 | zeiss
*Probably one of my best shots in 2016. The colors, DOF and contrast between the sky and flowers are outstanding in my opinion. This picture is also the celebration of the Spring season with these beautiful orange colors of nature.
My sandwich consists of turkey, cheddar cheese and coleslaw.
Hot chocolate hits the spot today...
It's so cold outside. Winter storm is coming...

Explore #1 - Highest Position, October 3rd. Thanks everyone!
Earlier this week, the central California coast was blessed with its first real sunset since the summer marine layer began way back in May. That light caused a furor around the Bay Area, with lots of photogs hoping that the winter sunset season had begun.
So it came as no surprise when this past week I received a flurry of text messages asking how the evening clouds looked here at the coast in Santa Cruz. But sadly, the entire week was crystal-clear and cloudless. Until Friday night that is. A few clouds started to build, but nothing to get too exited about. Nevertheless, I knew there were some keen shooters out there, so I got in touch with Jave and David, and talked about the clouds a bit.
Both guys decided to roll on out to the coast to shoot Natural Bridges even if it meant shooting in less than spectacular conditions. As we got to the beach however, it became apparent that the sky was going to BLOW UP (to use the appropriately Jave vernacular). When the color did arrive, it was so full and beautiful that it caused us to lose all rationality and run around like chickens, scratching in the sand and shooting shooting shooting.
Afterward we kept talking about how it was the best light we've ever seen at NB (either in person or in photos). Simply amazing.

Lee 3-stop soft GND Filter, handheld at a slight angle to darken the hot horizon on the right
Post-Processing

In Raw Converter:
- Dropped my exposure by about 0.4 stops to make the colors richer
- Global contrast for added pop
- Local contrast adjustments to water streaks to add definition
In Photoshop:
- Noise reduction via Neat Image
- Selective Sharpening of arch
- Slight brightness and contrast boost to foreground
- Slight brightness and contrast boost to bridge to enhance the light there
- Luminosity mask on bright brights with darkening curves layers to improve color near the horizon on the right hand side

Made this heart with ribbon I used round the christmas cake last year. It had wire at the edges to bend into shape. Surrounded it with heart confetti.
Really appreciate all your comments and favourites as always. HMM to one and all! It's half term this week so won't have as much time to comment as normal, but will try my best!! Have a great week everyone.

I took this shot from my TV screen :-) ... I figured, to complete that set, I needed a shot of the President. So when from him to that scene switching to the US flag, I had to just click it. I didn't like the color version which became bit saturated, so here is tone down version :)
If our love was a fairytale
I would charge in and rescue you
On a yacht baby we would sail
To an island where we’d say I do
And if we had babies they would look like you
It’d be so beautiful if that came true
You don’t even know how very special you are
You leave me breathless
You’re everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can’t believe that you’re mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you’re leaving me

Art Quote of the Day
Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.
Oscar Wilde mentioned and I nodded:)

Last year we celebrated birthday of my mom with a dinner in the historical Sargans Castle, located at the foothills of the Swiss Alps. We had the 500 year old castle all to ourselves for the evening. We explored the 500 year old castle before dinner - this is the entrance hall.
I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from two RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
