Street portrait from Glasgow, Scotland.
A previously unpublished shot captured on Armed Forces Day in June 2015.
The Kennedy Cupcakes are a 1940/50s inspired dance troupe. Happily posing for a spontaneous few portrait shots as I wandered by in George Square. Enjoy.
Sandstone is nature's art medium. Formed in layers and sculpted by the elements, it comes in every shape and color. In the Vermilion Cliffs of southern Utah and northern Arizona, ancient winds created large sand dunes of alternating layers. Gravity and water caused them to flow and bend, creating swirls and folds like cream in coffee. The dunes eventually petrified. Now the forces of erosion are revealing the amazing patterns hidden within.
This is another image taken during what I call the "Salmon Light" phase of twilight. While dim, the light is very balanced and luminous during this time. Exposures of 30 seconds or more bring the glow to life. Some of my photography is done in high dynamic range light situations that require the blending of multiple exposures. When photographing in a high place with an open sky during twilight quite the opposite is true. The light in this scene was very soft, balanced and low dynamic range, well contained within a single exposure. Developing mostly involved bringing out contrast as well as color balance and saturation work and some dodging in the foreground areas.
The coastline of Pen Hir in the Bretagne/France is part of a nature reservart. During the exposure it started raining - that's what makes this one special for me :)

Happy New Year all. Here is a new one from close to home. California’s rain-a-thon has taken a break but before it did, I nabbed a shot of this cool scene at high flow.
33012 and 33103 join forces on an additional Hoo Junction to Southall working of imported aggregate from Foster Yeoman at Grain. They are seen here at the start of their journey, which will take them via Dartford, Lewisham, Kensington Olympia and Acton.
I believe this working was in conjunction with the construction of the ‘Heathrow Express’ rail link.
By 1994 finding hotspots of class 33 operation was distinctly difficult, but one was engineering trains around Hoo Junction.
On 1st November 1994 I found a total of 6 class 33s working at Hoo Junction, including this pair. This was my last visit to Hoo in the days when class 33s were working. In reality they continued operation on trains around Hoo for another 4 years.
These two locomotives were withdrawn in February 1997. Both survived into preservation,
: in 2020 33012 is based on the Swanage Railway while 33103 is based on the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway.

Autumn sunset light fills the cloudy sky over the Monterey Bay along the scenic coastal landscape of Natural Bridges State Park in Santa Cruz, California. Known for its rock arch standing in the Pacific ocean and home to resting seagulls, cormorants and pelicans, the lone natural bridge remains against the pounding surf.
Still 1 spot left in the California Coast workshop, Nov 2-4. Message me if you're interested.

I spent the weekend with some amazing landscape photographers and we had great light throughout (which never happens!).
Yesterday, the wind was immense, blowing sand across the beach and causing spindrift as the waves crashed into the rocky outcrops of the Gower peninsula. Very occasionally the clouds would part at the right time for the light to catch.
I’ve never had the chance to capture waves like this before, and who can help but be inspired by Rachael Talibart's Tides and Tempest series? I mean, it helps that she was one of the people I was hanging out with all weekend!
Anyway, this is my interpretation of some seriously epic waves.
We interrupt our regularly scheduled Iceland landscape programming to bring you recent footage of an event in Death Valley California, where the desert dunes at Mesquite seemingly summoned forth the mighty forces of howling wind and apocalyptic rain to scour themselves clean of all traces of human intrusion. This buried branch of some once mighty Mesquite tree crooks its withered arm to conjure up forces of power beyond imagining (well actually, I stuck around to watch from the safety of my car, so I can now imagine them pretty well).
All fictional allegories aside, I managed to free up a late afternoon from a conference in Vegas and I was trying to decide where to go shoot, but we'd been surrounded by some crappy weather for several days and it looked to me like the only hope of an opening was to the west over Death Valley, so that's where I headed, dreaming of finally getting that burning sunset over some water-filled polygons on the Badwater basin. However, when I crested the road near Furnace creek and could see the basin stretched out, I saw a distinct cloud of sand dust over what I guessed would be Mesquite Dunes and so changed my plans to head in to the heart of the sandstorm. Having seen many great windswept dune pictures over the years but never having managed to get one myself, I figured I had a chance at doing both that AND sunset over at Badwater. Sometimes I get greedy as a photographer and my eyes grow wider than my mental scheduler and reasonable speed limits can deliver. In any case, I arrived at Mesquite pleased to find the wind whipping up a frenzy of sand and that the wind had erased what are normally an army's worth of footprints all over the dunes. So glory be, I had a chance. Many shots (and mouthfuls of grit) later, I did come away with some interesting pics, as well as with more lessons in shooting in windy conditions.
Unfortunately my sunset plans were blown (pun intended) by a layer of cloud that popped up right at the last minute to obscure the sun. However, these terrific storm clouds coming in from the north over the Funeral mountain range provided an interestingly gloomy backdrop to the late afternoon sun rays illuminating the dust clouds. Heck, I didn't even have to make up fictional names to go with my fire-and-damnation title, Death Valley is full of grim sounding names already!
For the Macromondays theme "Opposites" I thought in invisible forces, like gravity or magnetic fields in the physical world; and also another kind of force for us people: Emotions, hate and love.
In all those cases we need the complementary opposite. As result we have a world as we know it.
The popular trick with the coins can be done -so as I know- only with magnets; so I made it in representation of the invisible forces that glue us.
As usual, 100% SOOC. Macromondays theme: "Opposites".

An International Security Assistance Force Special Operations Forces sniper is in position overlooking the Tagab Valley while a Road Maintenance Team checkpoint is being built in Tagab, Afghanistan, Nov. 26, 2010. Afghan civilians, RMT members, International Security Assistance Force Special Operations Forces and Afghan National Police-Provincial Response Company members all helped to build the checkpoint.
Now, I have a blog post brewing about this, but wanted to ponder on some thoughts here first...
18 months ago I never would have taken this shot, let alone edited and shared it. I also wouldn't have been able to tell you any photographers that influenced me, or any of my contemporaries. I thought it was better to exist in a bubble, which is probably the product of crippling self-doubt.
How, I can reel off many photographers who directly or indirectly influence what I do, many of them I interact with daily, and being part of that community has brought me on leaps and bounds in terms of confidence.
Experimenting with the more abstract side of Landscape photography is a part of that. Finding beauty in the not-so-obvious.
Images like this excite me, they represent my growth, my journey, and I'm so lucky to be in an community where I can share this, popular or not, and gain some valuable insight from fellow artists.
So here we are, shot off the coast of Vik in Iceland, whilst the light danced over the surface of the ocean.
What do you think?

This is the first time I've walked along this stretch of beach, on the north side of a county park. I noticed this 10x10 inch post half buried in the sand. Nothing in the immediate area uses that size post (other than the pier several hundred feet down the beach), so I'm guessing this was driven there by the storm surge during Hurricane Harvey in August 2017. I don't know if the wind is currently eroding the dune away from it, or if the wind is slowly burying it in the dune, although I suspect the latter. In either case it showcases the forces of wind and water. For 120 pictures in 2020 #43 "Forces of nature".
Abkhazia. A country at war. In many places where there are people who hang posters like "Special forces require youl" The proposed salary for this dangerous service - 9000 rubles, about 300 U.S. dollars.
This poster is still the slogan "Just do what should be and that would be" courageous people.
In this case, photographed a poster hanging on the door of the shop. I liked how it formed the sun's rays.
Абхазия. Страна, находящаяся в состоянии войны. Во многих местах, где бывают люди, висят подобные плакаты "Ты нужен спецназу" Предлагаемая зарплата за эту опасную службу - 9000 рублей, около 300 долларов США.
На этом плакате есть еще лозунг "Делай что должен и будь, что будет" Мужественный народ.
В данном случае сфотографирован плакат, висящий на дверях магазина. Мне понравилось, как на него легли солнечные лучи.

In position to watch the storm develop to the west and southwest. I had got to one of my open spaces that had quick access to the north if I had to leave fast.
This storm cell developed into a monster with quarter sized hail and 60+mph wind speeds. This was a terrific photographic beast. A dangerous but a fruitful basket of storm chasing eye candy!

Al weer een tijdje geleden nam LTE drie blauwe 186'ers in dienst, die lang logoloos rond reden. Al weer enige tijd zijn de 186941 en 186943 voorzien van kleurrijke "Attractive Forces" bestickering. De 186942 werd recent ook van deze bestickering voorzien, echter net iets minder kleurrijk. Sinds kort heeft LTE een vierde blauwe 186 in dienst in de vorm van de 186944 en ook deze loc kreeg de iets minder kleurrijke variant opgeplakt. Tot medio mei was de 186944 nog niet in Nederland gesignaleerd, maar inmiddels heeft deze loc Nederland ook gevonden en kwam op tweede Pinksterdag weer het land in, dit keer met een ketelwagentrein.
Nadat op tweede Pinksterdag 1 juni 2020 de Pruskowshuttle uit Oldenzaal was vertrokken volgden nog twee RFO treinen, waarna ook LTE zich nog aandiende. Jammer genoeg was de al een tijdje aanwezige sluierbewolking steeds dikker geworden, maar aan het eind van de middag kwamen er toch weer een paar gaatjes in rond Deventer en daarom werd stelling genomen bij het buurtschap Loo. En terwijl de zon inmiddels weer een stuk feller is zien we hier de fraaie 186944 met een zeer gemêleerde ketelwagentrein onderweg vanuit Bitterfeld naar de Botlek de fotograaf passeren. Bij Deventer zou de trein "kopmaken" om vervolgens via Arnhem en de Betuweroute naar Botlek te sporen.
