SAARIY´S QUALITY PICTURES

Here's a shot taken on the 6th night of my SW trip. It was really late and Wayne and I where trying to squeeze in as many locations as we could before he had to head back to Salt Lake for a flight home. We hit this spot and immediately started setting up the lighting, It seemed that after shooting together for a short time we managed to work out a great procedure to prevent spoiled exposures do to a headlamps being turned on during an exposure, and after an hour or so it seemed like we had been shooting together for years, we were snapping away and not having any difficulty stepping on toes so to speak. The first night we were shooting together at the Kiva, Wayne had kindly offered to let me use his 6D since he would be using a new Nikon 810a and it was a tempting offer, and now that I think about it, I probably should have, just to say I had a photo taken with Wayne Pinkston's camera. But I was determined to see it through with my 70D so I really push the ISO on this shot and extend my exposure time as there would be less movement in the MW at this angle. The milky way was really high in the sky at about 2:00am which makes for a bluer sky and at this angle I didn't have to fight with light pollution. I was able to capture this shot at my camera's maximum ISO setting and It is a single exposure at 4000k white balance. All of the night photos from this trip I have been varying the white balance so that I could establish a white balance I like the best. :)
We used "LLL" to light the scene here.

Last night at 10:45pm, William McIntosh sent me a text, "70% chance of awesome sunrise at Leo Carrillo Beach". I immediately declined and he sent back "Boo". After checking Bill's conclusions on NWS and Skyfire it only took 30 secs to succumb. Alright I'm in, I replied. Again I would have to be up and ready to go in 5 hours. Forget it I'm not going to be able to sleep I thought to myself and I was right. I spent the next 4 hours studying and watching Youtube videos about photography locations. I have now been awake for 36 hours straight.
During our last trip to Malibu Beach, Bill and I ran into another photographer on the beach that turned out to be a real nice guy. While we where loading up the car Bill had ask him if he knew of any other interesting spots in the vicinity to shoot. The man says that just up Pacific Coast Highway about 10 miles was a cool little spot that he liked to shoot on occasion. A little spot found around lifeguard shack three just passed the parking area he says. It was already after Golden hour but Bill and I decided to go and scout it out for a future trip. What we found was such a cool location which we were "Surprised" to find included a double arch, several small sandy beaches, a flat reef shelf and a pass through cave leading to a little hidden beach while during sunrise has a beautiful glow entering it from the east. This is a shot of one side of the double arch, the view of the double arch can only be captured during the point of lowest tide but during high tide it is possible to capture one side of the arch which is seen here. The sky exploded with color and Bill has now dubbed me his lucky charm after 7 of our last 8 excursions were blessed with fantastic light. I'll take those odds anyday. Funny thing, I was just thinking the same about him. Hehe. Hope you like it!!! If you do please leave a quick comment.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great week ahead my friends!! :)

Immediately after arriving in Szczawnica we went for a walk. At the last moment we decided to take the cable car to Palenica (the last exit of the cable car is 19:30). We spent less than an hour upstairs, but what we saw there exceeded our expectations. Every day we can now see the amazing views and amazing light of the evening.

Redstarts are immediately identifiable by their bright orange-red tails, which they often quiver. Breeding males look smart, with slate grey upper parts, black faces and wings and an orange rump and chest. Females and young are duller. Redstarts 'bob' in a very robin-like manner, but spend little time at ground level. It is included on the Amber List of species with unfavourable conservation status in Europe where it is declining. From the RSPB website.

Following a devastating fire in 1869, the citizens of Dresden immediately set about rebuilding their opera house. They demanded that Gottfried Semper do the reconstruction, even though he was then in exile because of his involvement in the May 1849 uprising in Dresden. The architect had his son, Manfred Semper, build the second opera house using his plans. Completed in 1878, it was built in Neo-Renaissance style. During the construction period, performances were held at the Gewerbehaussaal, which opened in 1870.
The building is considered to be a prime example of "Dresden Baroque" architecture. It is situated on the Theatre Square in central Dresden on the bank of the Elbe River. On top of the portal there is a Panther quadriga with a statue of Dionysos. The interior was created by architects of the time, such as Johannes Schilling. Monuments on the portal depict artists, such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, William Shakespeare, Sophocles, Molière and Euripides. The building also features work by Ernst Rietschel and Ernst Julius Hähnel.
In 1945, during the last months of World War II, the building was largely destroyed again, this time by the bombing of Dresden and subsequent firestorm, leaving only the exterior shell standing. Exactly 40 years later, on 13 February 1985, the opera's reconstruction was completed. It was rebuilt to be almost identical to its appearance before the war, but with the benefit of new stage machinery and an accompanying modern rear service building.
The Semperoper reopened with the opera that was performed just before the building's destruction in 1945, Carl Maria von Weber's Der Freischütz. When the Elbe flooded in 2002, the building suffered heavy water damage. With substantial help from around the world, it reopened in December of that year.
Another joyous day winds down at Banff with Mt. Rundle reflected in one of the Vermilion Lakes.
"The Vermilion Lakes are a series of lakes located immediately west of Banff.
The three lakes are formed in the Bow River valley at the foot of Mount Norquay. They are located between the Trans-Canada Highway and the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks. A hot spring is found at the third lake."

European Praying Mantis | Mantis religiosa | 08-2022 | Ticino | Switzerland
My best photos are here: www.lacerta-bilineata.com/ticino-best-photos-of-southern-...
More Ticino/Tessin Wildlife Photos (all taken in my garden in Monteggio/Ti, Switzerland): it.lacerta-bilineata.com/ramarro-occidentale-lacerta-bili...
My latest ANIMAL VIDEO (warning, it's a bit shocking): www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T2-Xszz7FI
ABOUT THE PHOTO:
I originally titled the image above 'Pray, Love, Eat (Your Husband)' as a joking reference to a bestselling novel and to the name of the insect depicted in the photo as well as to the species' well-documented gruesome mating behavior. I changed it now, because I wanted to be sure nobody would take the title as a recommendation (let me be very clear: if you are in fact NOT a female praying mantis, please refrain from eating your husband - regardless how tempted you may be - I'm sure he will thank you later 😉).
To provide a bit of context how I got the shot, as most of you will be well aware, this past summer was rather hot in many parts of the world, and Ticino in Switzerland (where I take all my photos), was no exception. It was in fact exceptionally hot for a long period without any rain in sight, and so I found myself getting up every morning before sunrise to water the garden.
On one such occasion in late August I noticed the frantic movement of a rather large insect that was trying to get away from the splashing water drops. I immediately put the hose down and went to investigate. I could hardly believe my luck: it was a (in Switzerland very rare) European mantis, a species I hadn't seen in a long time in my garden (certainly not since my dear mother's ill-fated attempt to transform part of the garden into a "flowery meadow" - a sad anecdote you can read all about here IF you have the stomach for it: www.flickr.com/photos/191055893@N07/52177556047/in/datepo... )
The mantis had sought shelter from the water between the blooming phlox and was now resting completely motionless among the flower petals, and so I dropped everything and ran for my camera. Once I was back at the scene I realized to my horror that it was still far too dark to get a usable photo; I was sure my "rare prize" would fly away at any instant, but all I could do now was anxiously wait for the sun to come up.
Minute after agonizing minute went by (and Mrs Mantis made suspicious "I-think-I'm-going-to-leave-now" movements several times that had me hold my breath in utter terror), but finally my camera was satisfied with the available light, and once I had shot about 800 photos, I started to relax a little.
In the end, I couldn't have been happier; it had long been my hope that my little oasis of botanic chaos would attract this rare species, and that I even got to photograph it was a dream come true. And apparently I needn't have worried about it flying away; it was a female, and as I later read mantis ladies are in most cases too heavy to fly.
And they seem to be territorial (or at least this one was); to my delight, I would find Mrs Mantis either in the phlox plants or on the nearby hibiscus every day for the remainder of my holiday (here's a photo on the hibiscus: www.lacerta-bilineata.com/western-green-lizard-lacerta-bi... ), and so I got to photograph her plenty (suspiciouly there was never any sign of a Mr Mantis though...).
Anyway, many greetings and have a lovely weekend ahead everyone - and as always, let me know what you think in the comments 😊
This photograph was taken immediately before sunrise this morning at Lower Seletar Reservoir. The different illuminated cloud formations and mirror-like reflections provide interesting contrast to the Heritage Bridge.
Best wishes for a wonderful weekend.

One thing that immediately strikes you about the Lakes District in Cumbria, England is that it isn't all lakes. Here are the low fells that rise to Grasmoor at the northeastern tip of Crummock Water. This is the gateway to six Wainwright fells that make up the Grasmoor range. A lovely little hike if you've got some free time ;-)
When one says, "maldives" immediately thinks to this kind of color. The sea is so transparent and so crystalline... What a paradise.

Toucans immediately became one of my favorite birds to photograph in Costa Rica. This toucan used to be called Chestnut-mandibled but the name has been changed. Taken in Boca Tapada, Costa Rica.
I will be off Flickr for a few days.

Steichen took over 1,000 exposures of a single white teacup and saucer against a graduated scale of tones from pure white to black velvet. While this redundancy may seem obscure, in A life in Photography, Steichen stated that "the experiment was to a photographer what finger exercises were to a pianist."

Another new addition to my "harem" 😎
A (rare) pre-production version of the first version of the Helios-44-2 version by Belomo, a "Zebra".
A "bargain" that makes me very happy, because the lens is almost in mint condition too.
Helios-44-2 is not just Helios-44-2 and when I look through it, I immediately see significant differences to the supposedly cribbed model, the Biotar 58mm ƒ/2, whose pictures I also like to show in my stream.
Soon I'll pit the two against each other. I just have to find my desire to photograph again ... and a suitable motif.
Ein weiterer Neuzugang in meinen „Harem“ 😎
Eine (seltene) Vorserienausführung der ersten Ausführung der Helios-44-2 Version von Belomo, ein „Zebra“.
Ein „Schnäppchen“, das mich sehr zufrieden stimmt, denn das Objektiv ist zudem nahezu ladenneu.
Helios-44-2 ist nun wirklich nicht gleich Helios-44-2 und wenn ich so durchgucke, dann sehe ich auf Anhieb signifikante Unterschiede zum angeblich abgekupferten Vorbild, dem Biotar 58mm ƒ/2, dessen Bilder ich in meinem Stream auch gerne zeige.
Bald lasse ich beide mal gegeneinander antreten. Ich muß nur noch meine Lust aufs Photographieren wiederfinden ... und ein geeignetes Motiv.

Found this on a wall, it immediately got my attention, it is showing such a strong emotion. It reminded me of another wall art piece, I posted that photo in the first comment box.
The artist Tim Ossege, known as seiLeise, is a Cologne based artist focused on vector graphics and reverse graffiti. Born in 1984 started spray painting in 2010 and is today one of the most productive reverse graffiti artists in Germany.
I saw on the internet that this image also can be found somewhere outside on a wall in Hamburg ;-))
H(appy) W(all) W(ednesday)!!
The present-day Mudeford Quay was constructed in the late 1940s. Immediately prior to this, The Haven, as it was then known was surrounded by sloping beaches. The Run then was much wider than it is now and the area was subject to terrible erosion. So much so that Christchurch Council purchased the whole area in 1945. Five years later the area had been raised and reinforced with steel piles and concrete. Today the Quay, which consists of The Haven Inn public house, a number of ex-fishermans' cottages and a large car park, is still used by local fishing boats as well as being a base for many water sports. A RNLI inshore lifeboat station is on the Quay.
Immediately after the review Insta boyfriend was sent back to shoot another series of images hopefully better reflecting her enjoyment of her time in Colmar.
The reason for the name ‘Cathedral Grove’ becomes immediately obvious only a few minutes into visiting. Soaring towards the sky, these huge trees form their own beautiful cathedral of nature.
Featuring a magnificent temperate rainforest with enormous 800 year old trees, a carpet of ferns and draping moss, Cathedral Grove is an essential stop on any Vancouver Island road trip.
Officially known as MacMillan Provincial Park, the trees in Cathedral Grove are amongst the oldest and tallest in Canada.
It’s a humbling experience to stand next to these incredibly tall and gnarled tree trunks, some as wide as a car. The tree canopy is up to 80 metres high in places, with the sky a distant proposition. As you walk through the forest, beams of sunlight filter through the branches above, illuminating so many layers of green.

For "Odd", I immediately had the idea of combining Ohropax® earplugs and my new Sennheiser earbuds. The idea probably came to my mind so easily because my old, trusted, super comfy custom-made earbuds stopped working properly just recently when the right earpiece went "deaf" all of a sudden. I had them sent to the manufacturer, and even though they don't make those earphones anymore (only hearing aids, their original field of business), I still hope that they can fix it. The irony here is that I bought these earphones at the audiologist (you couldn't buy them anywhere else) years ago, because to make the earpieces, the audiologist had to make a silicone earmold, secured with a cotton thread so you could safely remove the silicone once it had hardened. So I sat there, waiting with my ears totally muffled by the silicone, and rummaging about the pretty likely next step following the purchase of in-ear headphones: hearing aids if I turn up the volume too loudly...
The width of the little scene is 5 cm/1,9 inches, so the width of the frame, negative space included, is about 5,5 cm/2,1 inches. The final image is an in-camera focus stacking made of 15 images. And yes, I have bought these colourful Ohropax® earplugs just for the theme, because I thought the standard yellow or orange earplugs would look a little boring for my "Sister Disco" setup ;) The earplugs come in four colours, blue, green, yellow, and orange, and all have a nice marbling pattern. I decided to use only three of the earplugs so the scene wouldn't get too big and there would also be some negative space to let the image "breathe". Processed in DXO, Color Efex Pro, and Photoshop.

The expectant looks on the faces of these two chicks as they search for signs that mum has food to give them.
Each chick has a dot of white near the tip of their beak and it was fun watching them walking quickly across the lily pads to get to the food bought to them.
It is interesting how the tip of mum's open beak has cast its shadow on the lily pad located immediately behind her and the first chic.
I spent over an hour photographing these coots and watching mum and dad foraging for food. Every now and again dad would wander off, up or down the river attending to perimeter defense.
As adults, [all] coots have a drab color scheme, with black bodies and white bills. Their chicks, however, have an aesthetic that’s part drunk friar, part disheveled lion, and part tequila sunrise. Their faces and bald pates are bright red, while their necks are encircled in scruffy yellow-orange plumes - extract from an article by Ed Yong, "The Survival Advantage of Being a Fancy Baby Coot" printed in 'The Atlantic', date unknown

From the Lionel Bart's hit Musical "Oliver" this song sung by Jack Glister in the original stage show and later by Jack Wild in the film.
I chose this song as Mushy's theme because on arrival from the cats home three years ago, he immediately jumped on this chair, obviously feeling very much at home.
With all the processing options available today, it seems we become programmed to look at photos and immediately analyze what might be done to tweak them to make them better in some way. I recall when I first began photography 8 or so years ago, I knew nothing about anything and thus deleted at least 90% of my photos upon review, often all of them. Now, even though I still don't know much, I delete none on the basis of being possibly able to do something with them. Sometimes I do with pleasing results. Most of the time I do not and they remain buried in the archives where they will probably never do more than take up space.
When this view of the far north end of the lake (where the turtles bask in the spring and summer but have now already vanished into their hibernational haunts) appeared, now habitual thinking said, "what does this need?" I thought for a while and finally determined that there was really nothing I could do to make this photo better. Different maybe, but not better. Perhaps you agree.
So here you have it...an actual unenhanced SOOC snap shot of my beloved northwoods entering prime time for color. Maybe not too artsy...but still kind of pretty...;-))

The stunning Canadian Rocky Mountains immediately give way to farming and ranching in south western Alberta. This photo reminds me of the emblem of Alberta which depicts a blue sky, snow capped mountains and a wheat field. This photo is taken just north of Waterton Lakes National Park.

The Strait of Magellan is a navigable sea route immediately south of mainland Chile, South America and north of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego. The strait is the most important natural passage between the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans, but it is considered a difficult route to navigate because of the inhospitable climate and the narrowness of the passage. It is about 4 km (2½ miles) wide at its narrowest point.
Following along the Peel Inlet, the Amalia Glacier is situated in the central section of the Ice Fields, its long silhouette appears to be hanging between the peaks of the mountains. The glacier is one of 48 glaciers that compose the Southern Ice Fields, which are considered to be the third largest reserve of fresh water in the world.
The Amalia Glacier has a width of 1 kilometer and a height of 40 meters. Its mass of ice is supplied for the major part, by the intense snowstorms that occur almost throughout the entire year. The length of time necessary for the creation of a glacier depends mainly on the temperature and the rate of snowfall. In Chile, where snowfall is heavy, and summertime temperatures are high enough to produce plenty of meltwater, glacial ice may come into being in a relatively short time, perhaps 10 years. In parts of Antarctica, where there is a little snowfall, and the ice remains well below freezing temperature throughout the year, the process may require hundreds of years.
..is neither an invention of the current situation nor limited to human beings. When I saw these trees on my hiking trip on Friday along river Else I immediately had the words of Khalil Gibran (The prophet / on marriage) in my mind :
Love one another, but make not a bond
of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between
the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup but drink not from
one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat
not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous,
but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone
though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each
other’s keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain
your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near
together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow
not in each other’s shadow.
