I spent 2 days at the North Rim of Grand Canyon and it rained most of the time. I chased the lightning here for 3 hours and took over 1000 boltless photos under an umbrella during my endeavor. Trying to capture lightning without a trigger trap is a huge waste of time, but when your successful just once it makes it all the more rewarding. I tried several different setups using continuous shutter mode with long exposures and then switched to shorter exposures on slow shooting continuous mode and thought that I had failed. When I later reviewed my photos back at the campground I found that I had captured one photo with a strike included. I guess it was luck or just persistence that rewarded me. I also used a second camera to capture video of the storm and the awesome thunderstorm that accompanied the storm. I'm not sure if I will post any of the video but it was nice to have a personal record of the awesomeness of the storms the frequent the Grand Canyon.
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great week ahead everybody!! :)

European Robin [Erithacus rubecula]
This wee Robin has white flashes on each wing. I think this is quite rare as I’ve never seen one like it (even having trawled the University of Google). She is usually first to appear when I’m filling up the winter feed - the peanut butter mixture - and sings as she’s sitting waiting for the all clear... A lovely little soul.
Here, she’s sitting waiting in the rain. It’s a really dull and wet day! I hope she is going to have little baby robins with this amazing white flash.

(My Olympus died. Just DIED! I’m getting a replacement, hopefully, tomorrow...For now, I’m using this monstrous super-heavy Canon/Tamron combo...)

Gordon’s alive?!
Also tried the sci-fi movie ‘Sphere’ but came back to this as I can remember little from the other movie. Honestly, I could’ve sworn that the dominant colour of the film poster, costume etc was yellow hence the background of this shot. Looks like it was red.
Backup movie Flashdance.
The town gas station/convenience store has been closed for hours on this hoppin Friday night. With only Kyle, Puda, and myself keeping each other occupied the faint headlight of 385 could finally be seen miles and miles away coming our way followed by the echoing Canadian tuned K3 blasting through the misting air. GLC 385 and 390 with about 50 cars make quick work of heading back to Owosso to get an early quit.
An early evening thunderstorm moves over Longmont Colorado. Oddly several planes were flying through the storm, resembling small meteor streaks here. This storm occurred a week before my previous lightning/ t-storm post.
The little kinglet, quick and bright,
A golden flash, then out of sight.
Hidden within the leafy green,
The smallest crown that I have seen.
It took some patience to get this photo! Watching this hyperactive golden-crowned kinglet bouncing through the bushes was a real challenge. But the reward was this shot, capturing a rare moment where its fiery orange and yellow crown was visible, perfectly framed by the warm colors of the autumn foliage. It's a reminder that good things come to those who wait—especially when photographing these tiny, fast-moving birds.
Thank you for visiting. As always, your views, faves and comments are very much appreciated!

........that's how I felt when I first stood in front of this building.
I've driven past it many times on my way to Germany, and I even saw it from the bridge, small and inconspicuous, standing by the fjord.
But I never expected the view that unfolds when you stand in front of it.
I find this building unusual and beautiful...........

........war ich, als ich das erste Mal vor diesem Gebäude stand.
Vorbei gefahren, auf der Durchreise nach Deutschland, bin ich schon sehr oft, habe es von der Brücke aus auch gesehen, klein und unscheinbar am Fjord stehend.
Was für ein Anblick sich aber eröffnet, wenn man davor steht, habe ich nicht erwartet.
Ungewöhnlich und wunderschön finde ich dieses Gebäude...........
The Havannah Flashes are fishing ponds in the Sankey Valley Park, between St Helens and Newton-le-Willows in Merseyside.
Squirrel often scurry about under my bird feeder, looking for fallen seeds. This one is making sure I'm benevolent before beginning his search.
Flash off camera fired using ebay wizzards. Flash is placed to the left, with a dish in the sink with the tap dripping.
If you see the auroras pulsate and flash across the sky and your neck is stiff and sore, then you know you've had an exceptional night under the stars.

The morning of the day it was cloudy.
However, if I waited for a while, the flash appeared from under the clouds.

Fog was lifting but it was getting dark. I had a panel light to the left and the flash turned down. From my early days with a flash, Gary Fong always said to have the ISO at 400 when using a diffuser. I had to change camera and lens as the focus assist light doesn't hit the macro subject with the 105mm lens (lens is too long and working distance is too short).

While on holiday, been playing with remote flash. Put the flash under the table ( which has some hole decoration on it), put 2 glass model and shoot. I kind of like the effect.

Here is a photo of that elusive optical phenomenon known as the green flash. It usually occurs around sunset and can be enhanced when a mirage stretches the sun to produce discs above the true sun. The light is refracted through the atmosphere and green is the last visible colour of the spectrum before the light disappears. It is usually a short-lived phenomenon, hence the term flash. I apologise to all those who view my photos that are afflicted by red/green colour-blindness as I understand the green upper stripe looks just the same as the orange-yellow lower stripes. The gene for red/green colour-blindness is recessive, and is carried on the X sex chromosome. In mammals, males have just a single X chromosome, and an empty Y chromosome, whereas females have a pair of X chromosomes. If males carry a copy of this gene it will manifest itself and the carrier will be red/green colour-blind. But if females carry a copy, its effects will be masked by a normal (dominant) gene on the other X chromosome, and their vision will be normal. Females would need a copy of the colour-blindness gene on both X chromosomes to be afflicted by colour-blindness. This is why colour-blindness is so much more frequent in males.
The iPhone 4 rear camera, now has a flash. A really, really, really bright flash.
And in keeping with flashing and fridays, there's a wee bit of fur for you too.
