Beach landscape captured on 2nd January 2023 - the first time I have picked up my camera since August 12th 2022! It is unheard of that I would avoid my camera for 4 days, never mind 4 months. There is a deeper story behind that which I may share one day.
The beach here at Troon, Scotland, had been altered by the winter storms and spring tides carrying flotsam right up to the sand dunes. I loved the low afternoon sun catching the sharply formed ridges in the sand here and captured this blindly at arms length. I love the result. Enjoy!

Wishing all of my Flickr friends and followers a Happy New Year and hoping that 2023 brings you peace, health and love.
Take care and stay safe.
Uvas Spillway
I haven't seen the spillway overflow in about 4-5 years. I've been wanting to go get this long exposure shot for a while now, and finally the lake level breached over the spillway. This is the end result.
Fluid Sculpture: colored waterdrops colliding at high speed to form unique shapes. Single exposure image capturing three simultaneous colliding water drops.
These images capture the mesmerizing beauty of water drop collisions, achieved using a Pluto Trigger and Pluto Valve for precise timing. The top layer consists of milk, while the base is water infused with red food coloring. The contrast creates a stunning visual interplay of fluid motion, forming delicate structures that last for just a fleeting moment.
Each droplet descends in milliseconds, rebounding into an intricate dance as the next drop collides. The swirling milk and red water create otherworldly forms—some resembling volcanic eruptions, others evoking the sense of a rising phoenix. The physics behind each shot is as captivating as the aesthetic result.
By fine-tuning the drop size, delay, and flash timing, each frame becomes a unique, unrepeatable composition. A perfect example of the unpredictable nature of fluid dynamics, frozen in time.

A once hidden gem, that over the years has become quite busy unfortunately. For with the masses comes their trash that they leave.
But this was once sacred ground to a great nation that mattered living in harmony with nature.
Legend is that the old Sachem Nonnewaug, distraught at the sale of his ancestral lands to the English by the young men of the tribe, jumped off the rocks at the top of the falls, was killed, and buried in an unmarked location in the river.
Vivid! Hmmmm I don't know why the version uploaded has so much noise/dots. The actual version is very clean. I may have uploaded a .png instead of .jpg? If that makes a difference?

Summer is fog season here in the San Francisco area. Odd as it seems, it's colder, damper and more overcast during the summer months than it is the rest of the year. But there are a few spots that are elevated enough to get you above the fog, where it's sunnier, warmer and not-overcast. My favorite place to get above the fog these past few years has been Mount Tamalpais (a.k.a. Mt Tam), in Marin County, just north of the Golden Gate Bridge. In fact, my friend and fellow fogaholic Larry Nienkark and I have been up on Mt Tam more often than we care to admit. But let's just say that in August we've only missed going up the mountain 1 or 2 days each. Yes, it's an obsession, but a healthy one, I think. The trips have been very rewarding socially (I've met many other fog addicts), physically (lots of hiking) and photographically (I now have an even more enormous catalog of fog photos). All in all it's been a most excellent and productive season.
I'm a very slow publisher, so you'll be seeing my fog photos for several months...well beyond the end of fog season. I hope you enjoy them. In the meantime, if you want to follow along on my foggy adventures, feel free to find me on Instagram, where I've been using the "Stories" feature to post live photos and video from the locations where I've been shooting. The photos and videos in the Stories section only last 24 hours (like Snapchat, if you're familiar with that), but it's a fun way to see the more "real life" side of the folks you follow. If you're on Instagram, you can find me here.
Happy Sunday/Monday, friends! I'm off to shoot more fog tonight....
-Lorenzo

Grab your party hats and let's celebrate the weekend! Created to celebrate a friend's birthday tomorrow!
One of my bubble experiments: This multi-coloured blade was produced at the intersection of 3 bubbles. The colour here is the result of the reflection of the different wavelengths in natural light. The fact that all three bubbles are at a different stage of their rupture cycle is manifested in the colour differences. The trisection here manges to capture all 3 sets of colours, giving it a rainbow colour set.
I was playing around tweaking my liquids while they were in the bottles, so mixing wasn't exactly accomplished... :) It's all just experimenting and seeing what we come up with.
goodness, the water tube on the right of the fork exhibits interesting fluid dynamics - that's cool, don't you think?
