Shells & shadows! Go spiral series

So day 13 of our lockdown and I'm losing it, taking pictures of the flipping moon in daylight from my back garden! Just about to go back out and start howling at it.

Hope everyone is coping in the strange times.

A tight crop of a fishing boat named HASTE, 'catching' some low in the sky, early evening, golden sunrays.

West Coast Winter

MV HASTE looked to be well equipped and ready to GO FISH

This fishing boat appeared to be moored rather loosely, as she tugged and swayed at the 'end of her rope'

The scenic, Steveston Heritage Fishing Village is a charming & ever so romantic fishing village that is situated in Richmond BC on the Mighty Fraser River

Definitely one of British Columbia's best kept secrets.

GR III #3: "GR" for GReen ;-) Another one from the (masked) family walk around one of Berlin's most beautiful lakes, the Krumme Lanke. Some lush green, before I'll continue with new architecture from Berlin's inner city (the "cube berlin") next week. I hope this isn't too

vivid and colourful, I know that on some monitors, and especially smartphone or tablet screens, this will probably look much brighter and very vivid, but on my monitor it's just right (yes, I know there are devices / methods for monitor / colour calibration, but... and it's also for Sliders Sunday, so...). Regarding the sliders, I HRDified this in Aurora HDR, tweaked the "Orton Clean" Glow filter in ON1 to my liking, and also tweaked the colours. As I'd mentioned in my description for my previous picture, I must have used "Highlight Weighted Metering" for all the photos I took on that walk, because the bright, sunny and cloudless sky was never blown out, and all the shadows and dark tones were way too dark, but as usual it's always easier to brighten the shadows and dark tones in post, and I was pleasantly surprised at the remarkably clean details and bright tones I was able to get out of the dark areas of the GR III's RAW files.

Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe, stay healthy :-)

During our 1 1/2 hour drive home from one of my neurofeedback appointments this past May we saw this storm for probably about the last 30 minutes of the drive and drove through it—then we met it at home too. This is the road that leads to our home. At this point in the road it appears to me as though we will drive right up into the clouds.

This is one of many photos I’ve taken from the passenger seat as we drive twice each week to my neurofeedback appointments. This practice of seeing, appreciating and capturing my surroundings from the moving car can sometimes be very helpful for me.

Driving home tonight, sky was looking good. Headed for a quick access beach along with dog walkers, other photographers and practically an entire football team. Needless to say, virgin sand was at a premium!

I haven't gotten pervy in a while so it seemed overdue. Caerolle Claudel was gracious enough to assist. I really had to twist her arm though. ;p

I'm pretty disappointed in myself, however, in that I somehow managed to take the shot and get through the editing phase without realizing I had taken it in a MUCH lower resolution than usual...

I didn't have the heart to do it all again from scratch, but I'm pleased enough with the results I thought I'd share anyway.

One of Connecticut's covered bridges in Devil's Hopyard State Park. Beautiful place. Looking forward to going back in the Spring.

the dog would go out pretty far to fetch the tennis ball and then ride the waves back in.. It was so fun to watch..

A female hummingbird going vertical to get that downward-facing flower. Amazing to watch as they approach flowers from any and all angles.

Evanescence- Going Under

www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdhqVtpR2ts

Now I will tell you what I've done for you

Fifty-thousand tears I've cried

Screaming, deceiving and bleeding for you

And you still won't hear me (I'm going under)

Don't want your hand this time I'll save myself

Maybe I'll wake up for once (wake up for once)

Not tormented daily defeated by you

Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom

I'm dying again

I'm going under (going under)

Drowning in you (drowning in you)

I'm falling forever (falling forever)

I've got to break through

I'm going under

Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies

So I don't know what's real and what's not

Always confusing the thoughts in my head

So I can't trust myself anymore

I'm dying again

I'm going under (going under)

Drowning in you (drowning in you)

I'm falling forever (falling forever)

I've got to break through

So go on and scream

Scream at me I'm so far away

I won't be broken again

I've got to breathe I can't keep going under

I'm dying again

I'm going under (going under)

Drowning in you (drowning in you)

I'm falling forever (falling forever)

I've got to break through

I'm going under (going under)

Going under (drowning in you)

I'm going under
