From the Chase Jarvis Hangar Shoot on 08/08/08. The final shot that Trevin and I did ended up being the best of the batch of nearly 70 jumps.

I didn't know these were white-fronted geese, also dubbed specklebelly geese, at the moment when I photographed them. Only later, when I processed the image and noticed the distinctive black pattern on their hulls, which was different for each one, did their identity become clear. According to some hunters we met on this photography outing, "specks", as they called them, are far and away the best tasting water foul. Still, I was glad that my "shot" didn't result in any of them becoming meals.
the Cederberg Mountains, or Swartruggens , as this section is called here, close to the Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve you find extreme rock formations ...

These beautiful rock formations were seen at Tung Ping Chau island which is part of Hong Kong's UNESCO Global Geopark located by 90 minutes ferry ride from Ma Liu Shau ferry pier.
These are sedimentary rocks formed after the Jurassic era! Mujst visit this place if you are looking for day trip from city's hustle bustle and some beautful landscape shots with a paved hiking trail!
The dolerite rock formations on Mount Barrow are very interesting. Some look like standing stones set up for some ancient ritual, others like sculptures or monuments. In reality though, they are purely the result of natural geological forces.
“Sunrise doesn't last all morning, a cloudburst doesn't last all day, seems my love is up and has left you with no warning. It's not always going to be this grey. All things must pass, all things must pass away.”

Here’s a single-frame, long-exposure taken with my broken D300… from the veranda of my cottage in the Little Karoo!
Yes… I actually took this photo after my tripod fell over with my camera still attached. Fortunately my camera dropped onto its back (not onto the lens)… so while all the buttons and dials on the rear of the camera stopped working… thankfully I was still able to change the aperture and shutter speed… and I was still able to focus the lens and press the shutter.
I was extremely relieved that I was still able to take photos with my beloved D300… else I wouldn’t have been able to capture this amazing cloud formation!!

An abstract shot of a rock formation near Souter Point, South Shields. .....anyone know the name of this type of rock ?
Cape Woolamai | VIC | Australia
This was taken after the sun had set, and I was just left with the twilight afterglow. Over the millennia, chunks of rock fall off these distinctive formations, then end up being churned into sphere-like objects by the waves you can see rolling in relentlessly. It's a fascinating place, and I could never get tired of shooting here.
I previously published this shot from a single frame. Going through the archives I discovered um, remembered there were two more exposures. This is a 3 shot HDR, I prefer this version
A series of rock studies from part of the Portscatho Formation ( Devonian mud, sand and siltstone) in Falmouth.
The county road goes through the formations. What has been post prior to this photo are on the west side of the road.

Monument Rocks and Castle Rock are an 8 Wonder of Kansas as a duo entry because of the scientifically significant fossils these ancient chalk beds have produced and because they have been highly eroded into unusual spires and shapes, making them spectacular landmarks on the plains of western Kansas!
On the western edge of Gove County is Monument Rocks, a series of large, heavily sculpted chalk monoliths that are sometimes referred to as the Chalk Pyramids. The site has been designated as a National Natural Landmark. In eastern Gove County is Castle Rock, a chalk spire that stands by itself in the valley of Hackberry Creek, though immediately south of Castle Rock is an extensive outcrop of chalk, capped by the younger Ogallala Formation.
The chalk was deposited during the Cretaceous Period of geologic history, about 80 million years ago, when the central interior of the U.S. was covered by a seaway. The several hundred feet deep water contained single-celled animals that drifted to the sea floor for eons, creating a mucky ooze. This material was perfect for trapping and preserving the remains of animals that lived in that ocean, such as fish, turtles, sharks, swimming reptiles called mosasaurs and plesiosaurs, swimming birds, gliding reptiles called pterosaurs, as well as invertebrate animals such as giant clams. Today the chalk beds routinely give up these fossils. Probably the best-known fossil from these beds is the famous "fish-within-a-fish" on display at the Sternberg Museum in Hays.
