An old landing stage along the Manchester Ship Canal near Vauxhalls, Ellesmere Port.
Construction of the MSC started in 1887 and the land near to this section was once RAF Hooton and then became Vauxhalls Car Factory. I love this section of the Manchester Ship Canal near Booston Woods. i've been exploring this wood/waterfront for about 25yrs even though its not technically open to the public(i've never been told to get off the land... ever)i'm not sure what this landing stage was used for and the oily smell from the residue on the rocks isn't pleasant but its decay and the fact it hasn't been removed always interests me.
For the most part; I love landscapes that show everything. Which is why the fish-eye works to my advantage. However, sometimes I love a compressed shot filled with detail.
This was the last shot I took at Buckingham Fountain on the third Out of Chicago photowalk.
Please check out my latest post on "Get Buck!" at Lost in Context for more photographs and details. Thanks for viewing and stuff.

I shot this picture thinking about a technique that I heard Annie Leibovitz talk about and how she always tries to tell a story in the photographs that she takes usually focusing on a subject and sort of "explaining it" on the background.
I tried taking that idea , shooting the bride's shoes as my subject and showing her on the background while she was getting ready to use them. I hope you guys can see the story i see when i look at this photograph.
Verdin are only 3.5–4.3 in (9–11 cm) in length slightly larger than an Anna's Hummingbird). Here a juvenile is getting its balance on an Agave blossom. Earlier, I watched this little one being fed by its parent within the Ocotillo (see photo below.)
This shot was taken from our sliding glass doors using our house as a hide. The agave is about 40 feet (12 m) away, so I had to use a 2X teleconverter. As this was shot later in the day, unlike the previous post, I did not use a flash on this shot.

Time for a little massage to try and relieve the tension. She knows she's going to have to do it all again tomorrow though... Will she persevere with her Louboutin's?

Before I got down to being arty, typically I have a few test images to get the settings and framing correct. Mostly they are poorly arranged, sometime, like this time, these test images have a charm of there own and are worth posting.
I live in Hokkaido. It is only about 150 years old as a modern territory of Japan. Because of that, it is missing the deeply rooted culture, especially represented by these old beautiful temples. Whenever I visit Tokyo, I try to find these gems. It helps me to remember the exotic side of Japan that I fell in love with, and I am able to get in touch with a quieter, more reflective side of myself.
A little playtime in the lightbox tonight. I've owned poor Getter Black for most of 2008 and have never taken a photo of him. He deserved the spotlight.
In-camera double exposure - one with flash to the top right, a second with flash pointed at the ceiling. Only photoshopping is the eyes, which I don't think I did very well...
For "Get Pushed" round 17, I was paired with the young and so very talented Rachel, aka "Girl in Sneakers". Check out her response to my push...it's amazing! She challenged me to create an image which tells a story. She gave me examples of themes such as: vision; fate; destiny; love; sadness; hope; and redemption, to go by. Also, the challenge required using a road as a backdrop, and to incorporate 3 of these 6 items she listed: a clock; feet (bare or with shoes); 3 books; eyeglasses; or a person (not looking at the camera); a photo of someone you love (in a frame). What an interesting and fantastic challenge!
So I pondered the possibilities for a while and admittedly was stumped. Eventually I decided to just move forward without so much of a plan, to go out on a photoshoot, 'wing it' and see what I came up with. The shot of me running is where I started, and then I built the image from there, out of several other images I snapped. My concept is about time, and how there never seems to be enough of it. Therefore, I'm always trying to catch up. The crooked clock is for my warped sense of time; the turtles for the speed I seem to be at; my dog Moxie who is always watching and waiting for me to play with her or take her for a walk; the castle is about high hopes and dreams; the moon coming up shows the day is nearly over but also to always reach for it; and last but not least, the sunflower and the butterfly to remind me that no matter what, its all going to be okay and to just simply go along & be happy! :)
I don't use Photoshop very much, as Lightroom is my software of choice, so the collage techniques used here were a learn 'by the seat of your pants' type of thing. It's getting more familiar each time I use the program but I know there's so much yet to figure out. For a more realistic appearance, I tried creating more shadow effects but going as dark as I really needed to -made the shadows look too black and fake. Most of the hard shadows on the road are part of the original shot. After taking it through Photoshop, I played around with it in Nik Software's Color Efex Pro, applying a few different filters. Then back to Photoshop to subtly apply 3 different Kim Klassen texture layers. Fun!
Thanks for the push, Rachel! :)
I got my studio lights, and this is one of my first tryouts, the picture is not that wow its nothing much, I need a lot of practice to get used to this kind of lighting, its very hard and its not as easy as it looks. Hopefully I'll try my best to capture new stuff and improve my self in this kind of photography.

Went back to the forest in search of Lyre Birds, I found this male dancing and singing on his mound about 400 metres off the path. It took me about 15 minutes to get close enough to him to take the picture. The tags are used to track the birds age and their whereabouts.
I am going away for three weeks to France, armed with camera and tripod. I will not be accessing Flickr during that time. So, please enjoy the rest of July. See you in August!
