We were treated to a nice view after a short/steep hike up to Hoye-Crest. It definitely got the pulse rate up for our mostly geriatric group!

The highest rocky peak in Meteora, Greece makes a splendid backdrop to the Greek flag flying high up in late February.
The rock formation “Great Saint” (Aïá, 2,067 ft /630 m) is the highest of all the regional rock formations and a climbers' favorite. It is the South-East aspect of Aïa's peak or top that one sees behind the flagpole.
Meteora is the name of the group comprising many impressive and lofty rock formations: The sandstone rock masses were formed 60 million years ago, are geologically unique and listed in UNESCO world heritage sites.

I was finally able to get outside after a string of rainy days. Sadly, the sunset was a bust as a set of clouds moved in right as the sun begain going down. But I was able to capture an interesting shot of the seagulls flying about next to Ivar’s on Pier 54 of the Seattle waterfront. The folks that you can see over in the right portion of the screen kept throwing bits of cracker and the birds were flying about in a rather manic frenzy... as if those little crumbs were last on Earth. I’m glad I brought my Nikon D700 out today with the extended battery pack so I could capture the motion at 8fps. don’t think the folks trying to eat a peaceful meal of fish ‘n chips appreciated my “ratatat tat” machine gun sounds that came from my camera however :) This was my favorite of the bunch as one seagull passed right in front of the sun.
Though colorful, this is not an HDR. Other than standard post processing (levels, curves, contrast), I adjusted the white balance and then applied a warming filter in Photoshop. Hope you all have a fantastic week!

Took the dogs and my camera with me this morning. Stop, sit, stay! Homer and Marge did well! I had seen these walking them and didn't want to walk twice on a day when we're likely to hit about 100.
Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales, at an elevation of 1,085 metres (3,560 ft) above sea level, and the highest point in the British Isles outside the Scottish Highlands. It is located in Snowdonia National Park (Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri) in Gwynedd. It is the busiest mountain in the United Kingdom and the third most visited attraction in Wales, with 582,000 people visiting annually.[3] It is designated as a national nature reserve for its rare flora and fauna.
The rocks that form Snowdon were produced by volcanoes in the Ordovician period, and the massif has been extensively sculpted by glaciation, forming the pyramidal peak of Snowdon and the arêtes of Crib Goch and Y Lliwedd. The cliff faces on Snowdon, including Clogwyn Du'r Arddu, are significant for rock climbing, and the mountain was used by Edmund Hillary in training for the 1953 ascent of Mount Everest.
The summit can be reached by a number of paths, and by the Snowdon Mountain Railway, a rack railway opened in 1896 which carries passengers the 4.7 miles (7.6 km) from Llanberis to the summit station. The summit also houses a cafe called Hafod Eryri, open only when the railway is operating; it opened in 2009 to replace one built in the 1930s. The railway generally operates to the summit station from Whitsun to October. The daily running schedule depends on weather and customer demand.
The name Snowdon is from the Old English for "snow hill", while the Welsh name – Yr Wyddfa – means "the tumulus" or "the barrow", which may refer to the cairn thrown over the legendary giant Rhitta Gawr after his defeat by King Arthur. As well as other figures from Arthurian legend, the mountain is linked to a legendary afanc (water monster) and the Tylwyth Teg (fairies).

The above photo is a sunflower field on the way during my working trip. Their blooming time is October to December in Saraburi and Loburi province, Thailand. I intended to go to this area again to only take some nice photos, but never have a chance to do. Have to wait until next year.:)

I have been sitting on this one for several months now. One of my Flickr friends posted a shot like this last year and ever since then I wanted to get one for myself! The Experience Music Project is located beneath the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington. It is supposed to look like a giant spaceship, although it also sort of looks like a blob from above. Supposedly, no two metal panels on the skin are the same. They are different colors and some are painted. I have another shot from several years ago here:http://www.flickr.com/photos/fresnatic/3615022937/in/set-72157620727257333
I was standing near this entrance for almost 45 minutes contorting my camera on my tripod to compose this shot. I really liked how the metal formed these rivers or even waves of golden shapes.
This is three exposures (-2,0,+2) merged and tonemapped in Photomatix. I shot with my wide angle lens, around 10mm. I moved into Photoshop and removed some specks of noise. I did final sharpening and noise removal in Lightroom.
Thank you to everyone for your support. My previous two photos have hit Explore and have really brought a whole lot of new Flickr friends to my photostream. I apologize if I don't add you as a contact as I have quite a few friends that I currently follow. When I do have free time, I do like to explore my contacts' photostreams. I appreciate all of your views, comments and faves.

The above photo is the waterfall we visit during my business trip. Nobody there at the waterfall when we visit, since the walk way is quite difficult. We have to walk pass the ferns jungle and down the very hight slope rocks before reaching the waterfall. The place is in Phitsanulok, Thailand.:)

I'm sometimes torn between colour and black and white renderings of certain scenes. Especially when the colour is glorious, as it was as I watched the moon rise higher and higher over Everest, Lhotse and Nuptse whilst the sun slowly set. It feels like a kind of photographic sin to go with black and white. And yet, it can often bring to an image such drama that it seems equally sinful to not render it in black and white.

Another one from last friday night. You would think you couldn't take a bad photo of the northern lights, you would think wrong. I have tons of horrible pictures of northern lights, I even have two of them with shooting stars clearly visible! Anyway, some tips for shooting the northern lights if you have them in your area:
1) Warm clothes, I mean it!
2) Tripod.
3) Brightest & widest lens you have.
4) Never go beyond 30seconds to avoid: a) startrail b) blurry smudgy northern lights. The shorter exposure time the better.
5) Highest ISO you and your camera can live with.
