Went to Sicily for a wedding, and of course i couldnt help paying a vist to the nature reserve of Vendicari. A bit out of season i know, to see the real action i have to go back in December, but it wasnt all that bad... there were a few birds i hadnt seen before. like the Spoonbill and the Hoopoe.
The only thing is that they were so freaking far away, so i was on max zoom (with the extender as well) so some footage are a bit shakey because of that.
Visto che mi trovavo in Sicilia per un matrimonio, ho fatto un salto a Vendicari. Lo so che per vedere i fenicotteri e altri uccelli il periodo migliore è Dicembre, ma cmq non era male anche a Giugno, ho visto un bel po di Upupa, e la Spatola :)
(Erano un po troppo lontani, quindi i video sono un po mosse perchè ero zommato a palla.

A final few hours to kill before getting the last flight back to Aberdeen and I headed to a damp St Ninian Isle. TBH I hadnt been expecting much from Shetland , mainly due to my misconception that its landscapes were bleak, treeless,windswept moors - how wrong was I! As I made my way to the Isle a report came on the radio to ay Shetland had been voted the 6th best location to visit by lonely planet! After last night trip to The Lang Ayre and today's trip to St Ninians, I can see why - what a stunning landscape and definitely somewhere I I'll visit again (with more time!)
This little Troll lives under the fire engine at the Kiddie park, I dont know what the toll is that he charges, but the left overs from the ones that didnt pay are in front of him.. The owls had made there home in the same place a couple of years ago, the city roped it off at the time... We hadnt seen them come back till now. This is on Johnson street just east of Palm.
This had a very bleak looking sky so used something in photoshop i was aware of but hadnt used called blend if. Very simple to use.
A wheat field just outside my work. I hadnt noticed it like this before, probably because i didnt have a DSLR this time last year!

I did wait for the sun to strike the corn but it has had a slight boost in PS to bring out the green that was there.
This is actually a merge panoramic of two portrait pictures using autostitch

Twas on the train to Humlebaek to visit my cousins who i hadnt seen in 19 years...wow. Long time. Anyway, had the carriage basically to ourselves to what better opportunity than to get your SP out of the way!
*we just click!* ;)
I'm a pretty expressive person, and when I realised I hadnt posted any proper affectionate shot with my recent lurrrve, I was stunned at myself!
Anyways, here it is! :)
Have my mids from next saturday - so I wont be posting much shots.
Would be checking out your streams in a bit.
Assignment: pca13 – Light Painting w/o post processing
Deadline: January 13th, 2008
Image Tag: pca13
From: wildlens2007 (Katherine)
Given my current rather powerful and negative sentiment toward computers (just recovered from ugly 'puter crash *sigh*), I thought it would be nice to get back to basics with this next assignment and start off the new year working with our most fundamental tool in photography, LIGHT. In that spirit, I think it would be nice to try to submit photographs for this assignment with little or no post-processing. Photoshop and other programs can mimic amazing lighting effects, but the goal of this assignment is to remind ourselves of the beauty and fascination of playing with light.
Mission: Employ the technique of Light Painting to create a beautiful photograph with little or no computer processing. I would suggest limiting PP to Unsharp Mask, Noise Reduction, Straighten and Crop. Hopefully, at the end of this assignment, we will all print our images and hang them on the wall.
WIT : well a headache to start, my initial ideas didnt really work out well, and trying to find a torch that my son hadnt run the batteries out on. This was a final day effort so not as good as it should be but i didnt want to let the group or myself down by missing another assignment.
so here it is Light romance, 2 desk lamps a dark room and my homemade lens light. Several attempts as i dont function well in dark, bumping into tripod and my spacial awareness is even lower than normal.
30 sec exposure, f2.8 and a combination of room light window light and torch
While i went through yesterdays shots in Adobe Bridge the shots of this steel girder of which i have about 30 jumped out at me and while Norma was saying yesterday that my last upload was maybe my best yet i was confident that i could top that. Anyway as me and Allan England an a rotation policy :P at the HAven on Sunday morning he was at this spot first but i didnt think he had managed to get a shot as the tide was lower when he was doing the North shift. Anyhoo low and behold a beautiful shot pops up on FB today by Allan and its nearly the same lol.
It seems we've both been effected in the same way by Dave Brightwell and his awesome ability to find some kind of great FG interest. I thought Allan wouldve been happy with his giant log but no, he soon got bored of that when he seen this girder :D
I have to say it was a great morning, a stunning sunrise and all the better for the fact that so many people were out nearby shooting and captured it :)
In this shot i think i mightve used the Kood ND4, i defo used the Lee 0.9 Soft Grad and the Hitech 0.9 Reverse Grad which was really good in these conditions. It really helps hold back the sun just before or after it pops up.
With this shot ive done very little in the way of PP. I straightened the lighthouse which was well conkey :O, i added a light grad of +1 EV in Adobe Camera Raw to the upper part of the sky then using a non destructive tekker on a 50 grey layer i did something else... can you guess?
Its something subtle but adds to the image. I used the Wacom Intuos 5 to do it and doubt it would be very easy without it.
I have to say after my first try with the Wacom i put it down and hadnt touched it for over a month as i bloody hated it but after a bit of perseverence im getting there and finding hings that it can do that you just cant do with a mouse! Thing is with a mouse its either off or on 100% whereas with the Pen you have 2000 levels of sensitivity. For example if you wanted to paint a line you can set it so that if you press lightly it does a fine line but if you press harder the line goes wider.
Great for this... something i need in my latest venture (watch this space)
So today in Photoshop ive learned the following...
How to change my brush size with the bracket keys.
How to switch between Black & White using 'X'
How to create a 50% Grey Layer in which you can non destructively Dodge & Burn. (I did already know this but sortve forgot a little part lol)
How to dodge & burn using Black & White instead of the actual Dodge & Burn Tool.
How to change the layer Opacity by using the number keys along the top of the keyboard.
I will forget all of this by the time i upload my next photo lol
Thanks for looking and please check out Allan's Stream. Also if you look at my last upload you can see everyone else's shots from various NE locations from yesterdays sunrise.
1997 Wyoming. I believe this is all double tracked now.. CNW AC4400's..Until this trip I hadnt seen but mabe 1 or 2 of these. Every train had CNW AC44400'S, c40's, and even some sd50 and 60's were out there still. U P was very rarely leading anything.
I hadnt actually been out to my allotment for a few days, so was a bit astonished to find this giant marrow instead of a small courgette.
Woody the Cat included for scale and cuteness.
having been on nights i wanted to wander further but by the time i got up its too late so risking the return sandite would still be out a 4 mile drive and hope the train hadnt got back or the shadows had come down .. so here is 350 219 approaching store hill road healey mills heading to dewsbury east jn to turn back inti healey mills 06/11/99
Taken on my trip to Scotland this year, I took it with my 60D and 17-85mm lens. I am thinking about getting the 70-200mm F4 (non IS) I cant afford the IS version, any thoughts? I havent been uploading recently because my hard drive failed the day I got back and I hadnt backed up the photos so I need to sort through them again but I havent had time (or motivation).
The concourse on the Shenfield/Southend side of Liverpool Street on 6/5/74. Taken from the steps up to Bishopsgate. This hadnt changed much from 15 years earlier.
Took a trip upto the old plane musium which unfortunatly will probably be my last as they are gradually clearing everything out - This lies on the entrance and decided to grab a few different angles after getting a 25 minute trail (will be uploaded soon)
Our night was nearly ruined by a homles guy routing through bins only metres from where we were set up (on a different shot), he didn't seem phased atall when i lit him up with with my torch thinking it was one of the others trying to scare us- He just caried on doing his thing asif he hadnt seen us :S

There is a depth in my silence, there is more than false emptiness. I whisper to the wind and hope that my voice carries through the storm. I am staying true to my map and clinging tightly to my compass, and though the water is rising I am not completely out of my depth. If you give me time I will remember how to swim.
This week I worked 3 days again and then tuesday night we had a work dinner to say farewell to the store manager, which was really lovely! Before that I called in to see Kristy and we had a quick chat and scheduled a proper catch up for next week (I like sceduling haha). On Wednesday in Studio class I was the model and spent a few hours on a vintage chaise lounge, with a feather boa and sparkly dress and lipstick.. being all "old hollywood" for a shoot with the large format film camera. We then developed the film completely - which was so so cool!! Thursday after class I caught up with an old friend who I hadnt seen in 3 years, and that was so nice to see her again! We made plans to meet again soon. Friday night I went to a show at the Comedy Lounge and dinner, which was also lovely. Then I worked Saturday and called in to see my bro and nephew on the way home to Mums. Benji is starting to talk and he says "da" for "ta" and is just ridiculously gorgeous, I just want to squeeze him all the time. Hahaha.
Asha was starting to get very nervous when her date hadnt shown up..
She had been so looking forward to meeting the hunk of muscle that her friends had told her so much about.
When he finally did show up and started checking out the nearby talent she was far from impressed.
Oh well.. It broke her rule of dating men shorter than her anyways..
That beautiful season the Summer!
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light;
and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
On the heath over to Breiðuvík, in Borgarfjörður Eystri, E-Iceland.
The winter's remains are still there, the road was closed because of a big bank of snow that the sun hadnt yet melted, but the earth was full of summer's life waking up.

A long weekend away down to the Jurrasic coast in Dorset gave many new opportunities for me to capture "new" seascapes from a stretch of coastline i hadnt photographed before.
For this image i used a Lee Bigstopper combined with a Lee 0.9 Hard Grad.
I will be adding this to seascapes and best of 2015 albums
Thankyou to all my followers and viewers!

I've had this phrase written on my hand for the past 3 days. its a good reminder :)
I don't know what to think of this actually. kinda like it, just wish I hadnt been facing the camera so much. oh well, it is what it is :)
I did so much while editing this. I desaturated a little bit, added a teeny bit of film grain, added like 55 gradients to the thing, printed it, scanned it in with the text on it and I think thats it :P
Another tree sparrow from a few weeks ago. I hadnt realised until then that the sexes are alike. They are very funny to watch. As social birds there is a lot of bickering in their community.

Picture taken with a Leica IIIb made in 1938; LZOS Jupiter-12 f2,8/35mm lens; Revelab BW-XX (Kodak Double-X a.k.a. Eastman 5222) film, developed in undiluted Bellini D96.
The neo-gothic church of Sant Francesc de Sales, in the Eixample, Barcelona. It was completed by 1885. In fact, the World-famous Sagrada
Familia, still being built nearby and began in the same period (1882!) was going to be almost a carbon copy of this one. And so nobody would known about it or travel to see it.

Well today started off bad, but eventually ended up much better... and was highlighted by a Flickr Meet up here for the PM, with Christina, Sandi and the newly fledged Flickrette Matt.... (thank you sooo much for my wonderful meal last night Mat... it was brilliant..)
Got a couple of good images, although gutted cos, somehow my card will only accept 60 images... grrr.. so have to be pretty selective....
So been a good weekend, Friday out with some girls in Truro and we got soaked ., we were actually stood on the station at the time chatting and then watched our train pull out the station, we hadnt even noticed it had arrived!!!! Then nearly missed the last train home, (thinking it was later) but I overhead someone in pub saying they were off now to catch it! HECK!!!
Then Saturday night over to the Drapers for my wonderful supper and to kinda watch the X Factor to watch the deserved Alex win..... so been a good weekend.. thank you to everyone who made it so.. especially Christina and Matt.. and now my little girl home for cuddles... ahhhhh xx
A rare Volvo C10M seen near Burnley Bus Station on 19th March 1996.
It appears to have an offside driver's door - I hadnt noticed that before.
Image taken by my beautiful and brilliant wife, arcadia65.
On the road to Shiprock from Gallup there are several rock formation that make for a slow drive as you have to stop every five or ten minutes to snap some shots. Powerlines and signage pollute a lot of possible shots but you still can not drive straight thru anymore then you could thru Monument Valley.
We were on our way from Phoenix to Mesa Verde in Colorado.
After looking through the images taken this day, this rock is twenty minutes travel time north of the rock formation known as Shiprock.
I can not remember if that puts this north of the town of Shiprock or not.
If anyone has an idea as to whether this is north or south of the town or even better if you know the name for this formation let me know.
Turns out I was all wrong. Wrong wrong wrong.
This rock is not only twenty minutes of Shiprock but two hours and twenty minutes north which places this in Colorado and not New Mexico. Sorry for misrepresenting this image but after seeing this image from flickr user Nihihiro & Shihiro I looked at some maps and my exif data closer and realized I hadnt read the hour stamp after the last image of Shiprock correctly and assumed both images were taken within the same hour. Looking a topographical map of the area backs this up as there are no such features to be seen until north of Shiprock near the border of Colorado.
My apologies for anyone who might have gone in search of this rock due to my memory lapse.
Also apologies to my wife, she is the one who shot it, but I was the one who bungled the details.
Just traveled back thru that area, the rock is called Chimney Butte.
Millport on the Isle of Cumbrae is a place I visit a lot as I have a wee cottage there. I took a similar photograph of the harbour about 2 years ago and converted it to B&W and left the boat in the foreground blue. When I took this pic recently the same blue boat was still there and hadnt moved. On closer inspection I noticed that there is a hole in the bottom of the boat. I think it was maybe taken there by a photographer to add some foreground interest to the composition !

This was a 25 second exposure, and I hadnt told the man fishing that I was taking the photo... I pressed the shutter and stood there with my fingers crossed in the hope that he wouldn't move, and he didnt :)
First drawing from my foundation, hadnt uploaded any art in a while...
Screenprint from my photograph over which i have worked in micron pens
As part of an impromptu trip out to see the Terns at RSPB Cemlyn it was a real treat to see the Little Stint on the flooded field just by the car park at Cemlyn.
I have to be honest that if some of the very helpful people hadnt pointed this tiny little wader (smaller than a sparrow/wagtail) out to me I wouldnt have noticed it
This was only the second time I have seen one of these waders, the previous time being last year on The Cob Pools at Malltraeth
Realized I hadnt done a "proper" out of character photo set with Rena, I stuffed her in some clothing items that arrived last week.
All poses freestanding, and no photoshopping apart from resizing.
Showing pale cream pollen load.
This plant was buzzing with both honey bees and white tailed bumble bees on Thursday at Rowallane Gardens. Good to clock it as a good bee plant that i hadnt known about and to get to add a new entry to my Honey bees on named flowers set!

Finally snowing out, enough to stop me from island visiting. This is an old one I hadnt processed. Although similar to some others, it sure is hard for me to delete.
some quickie.. got sketch, but removed some details while drawing by sketch.. good day was, sunny and warm.. i mostly paint my pieces without background and its always looks shitty without background.. this time i hadnt emulsion for bg so its came like this..
Well I wasnt planning on posting this till tomorrow but a few commented on my last shot saying they were looking forward to the story behind the crab shot so here goes, sorry for those expecting a more exciting story this isnt that but here goes anyway
As some of you know I want to get more shots of people I see on the street but lack the confidence to talk to them, well my wife is trying to help me in that regard and urges me to talk to people we see when out, so we were cycling along and we saw a couple setting up a cover over one of the benches (see shot in comment below of it) and they looked at interesting couple so Lulu said I should go talk to them, i tried to think of a good excuse why I shouldnt but only came up with a feeble excuse so Lulu tried again and then got a bit frustrated with me and said oh well I will talk to them,
This spurred me on so I raced ahead and said Hi to them first and we got chatting to them, This is David in the shot, not as good as i would like but what I got, and Monique who didnt want her photo taken, they come to Liberty State Park often and setup the cover and put in cages to catch crabs, when we meet them they were just setting things up, and we had a nice little chat with them, when we said we liked Jersey City they laughed and called in Dirty City which made us laugh and they were suprised we hadnt heard it called Dirty City Before.
Well after chatting a bit we rode for some more around the park and an hour or so later passed them again, and stopped for another chat, thats when I got the shot in the comment below and the one of the crabs in the bucket this morning.
They said the tide was coming in and they expected to get more crabs soon, David Told us Monique (hope I remembered her name correctly) cooks them up real nice, So after a little bit more chatting me and Lulu headed off and thats the end of the story, well maybe for now I did Promise David I would print the shot of him and take it with us next time we go to the Park to give to him, apparently they are there most weekends in Summer
So sorry not an exciting story, but a step forward for me actually talking to a stranger and striking up a conversation, all be it with the help of Lulu, who I must thank for being so supportive of me
PS. Some thing my street sots of all of Homeless people this is not the case and I want to make clear David and Monique were just a nice couple we saw while out, hopefully I will get around to talking to some homeless people and get shots of them, but when the time is right for me that will come
AH IM DONE! I started this project with a golden hour and ended it with one.
Although this project didnt go exactly as planned (i uploaded late everytime and didnt really record my week and got a lot mixed up) but im still happy that i did it because it kept me going until college with my photography. I actually got a dozen few shots that im really proud of and even used a few in my portfolio to get accepted.
And now im ready for school. Im extrememly scared and nervous but i know photography is something i love and want to pursue. I will definitely keep my flickr updated with all my projects and assignments and leave room for a few self portraits here and there. (With this photo, i hadnt taken selfies in forever and my face totally forgot everything, lets just say it took a while. I trecked 20 minutes to this river by my camp only to find out you couldnt see the river in any shots cause the grass was so high but i still had a blast!)
Thanks for all the views and favourite and comments, you should know how much each one means to me :)
Another pick of the Taj. I had friends in India with me this time and one of them hadnt been to the Taj Mahal yet, and despite the 16 hour road trip from Delhi (4hr there, 6 back and 6 hours siteseeing in Agra) of uncomfortable roads, I jumped at the chance to photograph this site again. Last time I was there, the Taj was barely visible from this vantage point as it was incredibly smoggy. When we got here the sky was a soft blue and the lighting was mild. I think the results were well worth the trip.
Please click on image to view large on black.
there were two black sticks at the front, but they didnt survive the shipping and hadnt any spares so just imagine they are there okay :)

Expecting a 'Steam Santa' , it was quite a surprise to get this weird combination with a '47' and sleeping cars + Mk.2's! Found out later from an enthusiast that the Santa stock hadnt arrived for the first train and the 47 was supplied as the stock cobbled together was air braked. But - Sleeping Cars??
In any case, here is the ensemble going through Morningside Station.
Klnyc rightly pointed out recently i hadnt posted a Water tank shot for a while, so went out for a walk yesterday with the express aim of capturing a shot of one,m and here is one i got, with a bonus of a plane flying over head
Hope everyones weekend is going well
may be better on B l a c k M a g i c
