You'll always be my only guiding light

I posted this originally several months ago. My reason for re-posting is to brag a little bit.

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology used this image in a slideshow they published on endangered bird species. Here is a link to that slideshow:

They also use this shot for their Whooping Crane species page on their All About Birds website:

Met up with Ed at Leesylvania State Park in Woodbridge, Virginia for a sunrise shoot not too long ago. No clouds but plenty of color. Was off my game somewhat, I'll be ready next time!

If you have been following along on this exploration of Oman, you have heard me mention my guide numerous times. This is Faisal.

 

He is dressed in the typical attire that Omani men wear to work and he had a wardrobe that always amazed me. The interesting thing about our meeting is that I learned that he had seen more sights in America than I had. Strangely enough, I had seen more sights in the Arab world than he had.

 

I guess that my love affair with the Arab world started years ago when I did a road trip through Morocco. The streets are so vibrant with souks and so mysterious with huge doors and walls surrounding individual homes.

 

Despite the tensions that occur between nations, they are soon forgotten when individuals meet during their travels.This is especially true in Oman, a country that works very hard to stay neutral in the Islamic world.

 

If ever you decide to take a trip to this hospitable and lovely country, I am certain that you would love being with Faisal. His name is Faisal Al Kindi and you can contact him @ +96898777999 or by email: jetstang96@yahoo.com.

Managed to catch a fleeting 4 mins of sunlight at St Cwyfan's, Anglesey. Always a stunning place to visit.

A striking low-angle view of a tactile paving strip designed for visually impaired pedestrians. The bold yellow bumps create a mesmerizing pattern leading into the distance, enhancing both safety and urban aesthetics. The dramatic perspective and rich contrast bring out the texture and depth, making this everyday accessibility feature a captivating visual journey.

Sometimes we all need a guiding hand along the path of life. I often find mine from friends, books, art and music. Perhaps the most compelling of all is the calming influence of nature. It beckons and fills the vacuum of my senses.

Portfolio & Services

 

Last week was a marathon run where I saw the dark side of sunrise and sunset 7 of 8 days. In the middle of all that, I was conducting a private photo tour with Jeffrey Wu from Toronto, Ontario. Check out his stream for a few images of our time together. Going in, I fully expected to do a lot of teaching, but ultimately, I simply got to play tour guide. Over meals, we talked photography and I even got some sage advice that I hope to carry with me on my photographic journey. And it is a journey. As we go through this photographic life, there are signs along the way, obstacles we must overcome, and milestones to be reached if we just keep at it.

 

The Shot:

Headed to Davenport the other morning and took advantage of the overcast skies for some long exposures of the crack. Even ran into a couple from New Jersey who had driven cross country and ended up in Davenport. They helped inflate my ego a bit when they told me they were drawn to the area because of some of my images. That was cool. :)

 

The Gear:

Nikon D7000

Nikkor 12-24mm @ 12mm

71 sec, f11, ISO 160

Lee Big Stopper and .9 Soft GND filters

Hanging out at Guerreros because his dad either was working out there or was the owner. He volunteered to show s around the property. Very personable.

Slightly smaller but much rarer than the little egret, cattle egrets are visiting the UK in increasing numbers. They often spend time close to livestock and grab insects and worms which their hooves disturb. Cattle egrets have yellow or greyish legs and a yellow beak, compared to the black legs (with yellow feet) and black beak of the little egret.

Our tour guide in Antigua.

 

During our bus tour she was answering questions from us and one came up about their national anthem. She said "It's beautiful and I'm not the best singer but if you'd like I'll sing it for you". She sang their national anthem and by the time she was finished she had tears streaming down her cheeks because she loves her country that much. Very touching to say the least.

 

It really was a good tour and she made it even better. I noticed when we got off the bus the tourists had compensated her well and she certainly deserved it.
