This is lit by hand in less than one second!
he past few months have been mostly about producing higher quality work. This is not very relevant for social media, but I'm obsessed with the idea of scaling up my images for some future projects.
This is a single exposure, fresh from today. Check out the close-up: twitter.com/ericpare/status/1587956945994108928 😱💙🌟

This is one of my favorite places. I had the Twirly Camera out for a spin in late October. It's always interesting to see how that camera will "see" any given scene.

This is taken in late October, but the weather have been much the same since. It has been reather cold, but wonderful after about 3,5 month of mostly rain.
This is from our field down by the fjord. The stones are stabbesteinar. "stabbestein m (definite singular stabbesteinen, indefinite plural stabbesteinar, definite plural stabbesteinane)
one of several large stones formerly placed at intervals the side of the road to prevent vehicles from driving off the road. Nowadays mostly replaced by guardrails."
I add a few more photos from the same place, mostly from summer, in the first comment. And a few jokes found somewhere on the web.
Without doubt this is one of the finest stone bridges in Wales.
The three spans of Pont Fawr rise elegantly over the River Conwy and now carry the B5106 road between Llanrwst and Gwydir Castle.
Its central arch had the largest span In Wales when the bridge was built in 1636. Although not proven, the bridge design is popularly attributed to architect Inigo Jones (1573-1622).
Last week, it would have been impossible for me to take this shot due to the heavy rain and flooding. The water level rose well above the grass embankment to my immediate right. In fact the darker grey coloured 'High Water Mark' can still be seen on the facing left hand side of the bridge's central arch - having not fully dried out.

Sivill House is a 76-flat council housing block on Columbia Road in Bethnal Green, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The building has 19-storeys, at a total height of 59 metres.
Sivill House was designed in the Constructivist style by Douglas Bailey, Francis Skinner and Berthold Lubetkin, the successors to the Tecton Group, and was completed in 1962. The nearby Dorset Estate was also designed by the same team.
This is the last picture I took of Beanie with Pip just a week ago. It is a candid shot, they were just both sat by the fire. I happened to have my camera and snapped them before of course as always they come over to see what I might have for them!
I know it's technically not very good, but for her last picture, I love it.
It is located across the square opposite Ata-Darvaza. Construction of the Madrasah was initiated by one of Khiva Khan's sons but after the pedestal was completed he died, and the work was halted for four years. Bikajan Bika, Muhammad Rahimkhan II's sister, decided to finish the construction. But the work was resumed without first getting the Khan's permission, and the latter prohibited unauthorized construction. Thus the work was frozen for further seven years. Later, when the court informed the Khan, that it was his sister who was building the Madrasah, permission was granted and the Madrasah was completed. The Madrasah appeared in the area of highly respected burial of Sheikh Kalandar Bobo. The name of the crafts-man who actually built the complex was Usta Avul. Four meters from the portal, almost in the center of the main facade is a minaret.
When close is not good. As photographers we always like to get our subjects close.In this case it would have been nice if I had a zoom-lens but I don't. However it was a one second encounter which enabled me just two shots.So, if I had a zoom-lens it would probably have been a bust. At least my focus was dead"ON" !

Since I only got half of the body, I vignetted the image to make it nicer to look at.
Whitby is a seaside town in North Yorkshire, England. It has an established maritime, mineral and tourist heritage. Its East Cliff is home to the ruins of Whitby Abbey, where Cædmon, the earliest recognised English poet, lived. The fishing port developed during the Middle Ages, supporting important herring and whaling fleets and was (along with the nearby fishing village of Staithes) where Captain Cook learned seamanship. It is also, of course, where Dracula famously landed in Bram Stoker's novel. The gulls are huge and it is an offence to feed them due to the number of attacks in recent years. This one is asking for chips.
Shakespeare's Globe is a reconstruction of the Globe Theatre, an Elizabethan playhouse first built in 1599 for which William Shakespeare wrote his plays. Like the original, it is located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Southwark, London. The reconstruction was completed in 1997 and while concentrating on Shakespeare's work also hosts a variety of other theatrical productions. Part of the Globe's complex also hosts the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse for smaller, indoor productions, in a setting which also recalls the period.

To get an idea of just how bouncy tubing is, feel free to check out the video I also downloaded. I feel fortunate to have gotten a few good photos. A lot of them turned out blurry, since I was also bouncing around in the boat.
It is peaceful walking along the river walking and bike paths that follow the Sacramento and American Rivers. You walk on the levee which protects the city from flooding. There is not a lot of boat traffic and its a quiet feeling like the midwest. There is good fishing here and a great place to watch for birds too. Winter nights are mostly mild in north central California. Enjoy the colors, turn off the phone or music and enjoy the natural sounds we were born to hear.

Llanes is a delightful seaside town on the north coast of Spain. The harbour was renovated in recent years and is very attractive.
"October is here, once again,
barely transcending the threshold of autumn.
The maple is turning yellow to orange, to red,

Het is een prachtige voorjaarsdag die er toe uitnodigt om erop uit te trekken. Dat kan per bromfiets of automobiel. Maar ook de lokaalspoortrein biedt een mogelijkheid. Wismar-bus T1 is zelfs van bagagerekken voorzien. Daarop kunnen niet alleen melkbussen of kratten geplaats worden maar ook de meename van het rijwiel is een optie. De sleufvormige steunen op de horizontale profielbalk bieden de fiets extra steun tijdens de holperige rit.
Hoewel er een bagagekaartje gekocht moet worden, kan er een keuze gemaakt worden om met de fiets bij tegenwind van de trein gebruik te maken. Tijdens de terugreis kan er met de wind in de rug en eventueel een vers getapt biertje achter de kiezen voldaan en zonder al te veel inspanning heimwaarts gekeerd worden.

Stick Season is a fun season of photography, that being many trees are without leaves. Burch trees have white bark and usually don't stand out when they are covered in leaves. One thing I wanted to shot while I was in the Duluth area was to incorporate a shot with some Burch trees as a backdrop. Here we see CN 2028 a Dash 8 Standard Cab leading a loaded Ore train to Two Harbors, MN rolling through Iron Junction.
Amalienborg is the home of the Danish royal family, and is located in Copenhagen, Denmark. It consists of four identical classical palace façades with rococo interiors around an octagonal courtyard. In the centre of the square is a monumental equestrian statue of Amalienborg's founder, King Frederick V.
Amalienborg was originally built for four noble families; however, when Christiansborg Palace burned on 26 February 1794, the royal family bought the palaces and moved in. Over the years various kings and their families have resided in the four different palaces.
I think it is interesting how power gets put together on a big old railroad. Somehow, a pair of leasor units have been paired together for the Cedar River Local for the past 2 weeks out of Waterloo. It's pretty neat to see a couple of old ex-Soo Line SD60's paired back together again. Here, the girls sit at the roundhouse at Waterloo over the weekend. The Cedar River doesn't work over the weekend much, so the power will sit for a day or so unless needed on M338 for a kicker unit.
These Soo SD60's were in the 1st 21 units order (6000-6020), which were delivered between between August and October 1987. This bunch was returned leased, and some spent time on the INRD. Now, power short CN has them.
Bougainvillea is a genus of thorny ornamental vines, bushes, and trees belonging to the four o' clock family, Nyctaginaceae. They are native to Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Peru, and Argentina. There are between 4 and 22 species in the genus. Wikipedia /
Le bougainvillier est une plante grimpante emblématique du Midi ou de contrées où le soleil est roi
Sa floraison aux bractées très colorées rouge, bleue, violette, orange, jaune ou blanche est éblouissante de la fin du printemps jusqu’au début de l’automne
Gélif, il ne tolère la culture en pleine terre que dans les régions aux hivers doux toujours épargnées par le gel, ailleurs, il se cultivera dans un grand pot à remiser l’hiver
Il pousse au soleil dans n’importe quelle terre bien drainée
Facile à vivre, exubérant, il peut grimper à 8 mètres quand il se plaît bien et habillera un mur, une façade, une pergola ou se hissera dans une haie fleurie.

There is a second railroad in the Pittston area that interchanges with the RBMN. In business since 1994 the Luzerne and Susquehanna operates 60 miles of assorted bits of cast of scraps of once important class 1 routes that once served the Scranton Wilkes-Barre area. The valley was placed with a nearly incomprehensible web of rails at one time that generated carloads and revenue to boggle the mind. But now so little remains and what does is but a shadow of itself. In fact the trackage beneath this unit that sits stationary, blue flagged, and tied down was once the LV's mainline into Wilkes-Barre.
LS 1751 itself is an EMD GP9 blt. Oct. 1959 ad Pennsylvania Railroad 7242. The venerable geep is now the property of RJ Corman Railroad group which bought the L&S in August 2020. One wonders if 1751 will survive and trade her somber LS black for brilliant Corman crimson. I guess we'll just have to wait and see...

Piran is probably the most beautiful of Slovenia's coastal towns, perched on a tiny piece of land jutting into the sea. It feels more like an Italian coastal town, without all the Italian tourists, and for good reason: Piran was part of the Venetian empire from the late 13th century to the end of the 18th century.
Piran is an extremely picturesque small Italianate city on the Adriatic coast of Slovenia. It is one of Slovenia's four coastal cities, including Izola, Koper, and Portoroz. It's Italian styling is due to its proximity to the Italian border and once belonged to Italy. The boat harbor is full of small colorful fishing boats. The main square is near the sea and full of activity. The streets are typical narrow winding medieval streets that are a joy to explore and find hidden squares inside the various neighborhoods. The Church on the hill is complete with a separate bell tower and baptistry. There is a walkway connecting the churchyard to a beach along the shore. The small peninsula of the city hosts a beautiful pedestrian street of various restaurants with delicious seafood and a gorgeous view of the sunset over the adjacent peninsula (in Croatia). The lighthouse at the tip of the peninsula is unique.
Piran offers great views of the small Slovene coastline, including views of nearby Trieste, large shipping vessels, and rolling hills. Hidden treasures include an old aquarium, steep winding streets, and local people fishing from the shore.

This is the staircase at the Old Point Loma Lighthouse located at Cabrillo National Monument in San Diego. I love spiral staircases, and never miss a chance to photograph this one when I go there. This was shot from the bottom, looking up.

This little beauty is about 4.5 inches in width, and we purchased it at a local grocery store as a Haloween decoration.
Lighting stuff. I first place the pumpkin on a piece of black Perspex and then lit it using a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box positioned at camera right and just out of the frame. Fill light is from a hand mirror at camera left. The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. For each image in the set, and there are over 1900 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
Williams is a town of about 5,000 people in Colusa County, about 60 miles (97 kilometers) north and a little west of Sacramento, and about 115 miles (185 kilometers) north and east of San Francisco. The area is mainly agrarian with the farms growing rice, almonds, tomatoes, walnuts, wheat and alfalfa.
I'm sure some of you know that a lot of Okies moved to the Central Valley in the 30s during the Dust Bowl. Though most of them settled in the south end of the valley near Bakersfield (hence the Bakersfield sound), many of them settled in the north end. I went to grade school with a couple of kids whose parents were from Oklahoma and their accents were pretty thick.

De steltkluut (Himantopus himantopus) is een waadvogel
Deze vogel heeft enorm lange, roze poten (bijna de helft van de totale lengte)
Waadvogels zijn grote vogels met lange snavels waarmee ze prooien kunnen opzoeken die vrij diep onder het zand zitten. Kleinere waadvogels zoeken net onder de oppervlakte naar voedsel. Men vindt deze vogels vooral in kustgebieden.
De term waadvogels is een beetje in onbruik geraakt. In de meeste vogelboeken wordt voor deze categorie de term steltlopers gebruikt.
In het alledagelijkse woordgebruik worden andere vogels met lange poten en lange snavels ook tot de waadvogels gerekend, zoals de reigers en ooievaars.

This is probably my favorite image from a trip in early October to southwest Colorado, USA, for autumn foliage. And one of my favorite places to visit is Owl Creek Pass, where the colors of the aspen groves and the views of the Cimarron Range are outstanding.

Luosto is a picturesque ski village with a surprisingly large number of accommodations. Although there are a few hotels, you'll mostly find cozy bungalows here. Luosto is nestled in the heart of Pyhä-Luosto National Park, surrounded by ancient forests, rugged gorges, and peat bogs. It's a unique piece of nature rarely seen in our part of Europe. Finnish Lapland is far to the north, so there's usually plenty of snow here. Luosto offers a stunning landscape for adventurous activities and the opportunity to enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the Finnish wilderness. Our plan is to climb the spectacular fell (mountain). As we step out of the car, it feels like nature here is in a deep winter sleep. Our hike begins at dawn in the remote hamlet of Ukko-Luostontien. In Lapland, the colors of the sky during sunrise and sunset can be very intense due to the low position of the sun on the horizon. The long twilight periods can create unique colors in the sky, including green hues, due to various scattering effects of sunlight. The trees gently bend under the weight of the snow.
We walk along the ridge of the fells of Ukko-Luosto, passing through the surrounding primeval forest. The summer path to the top is closed due to avalanche danger, so we continue our journey and attempt to reach the summit via the northern ridge of Ukko-Luosto. The path ascends steeply through the enchanting ancient forests, where the trees covered in crown snow look magical. The last section to the top of the mountain has snow too deep for us. The path winds its way to the top of Pikku-Luosto Fell. We sink in and have to crawl to the top. Snowshoes are definitely necessary here. In the impressive Ukko-Luosto Scenic Hut, we can take a break, warm up, and admire the magnificent view. It's terribly cold up here on the 514-meter-high mountain, partly due to the biting polar wind. The sun reaches its highest point on this short January day and shines beautifully just over the mountain's peak. There's also a solar halo visible, an optical phenomenon caused by the refraction, reflection, and scattering of light by ice crystals in the atmosphere. We thaw out a bit and rest before starting our return journey. Walking in the snow is exhausting. We take the same route back because we don't want to get stuck in deep snow and aim to be back in Luosto before dark. In total, we walked more than 18,000 steps, but we enjoyed this special place in Lapland. In Luosto, we treated ourselves to delicious reindeer jerky and panna cotta, while BieJee savored a reindeer burger.
Luosto biedt een prachtig landschap voor avontuurlijke activiteiten en de mogelijkheid om te genieten van de rust en schoonheid van de Finse wildernis. Ons plan is om de spectaculaire fell (berg) te beklimmen. Wanneer we uit de auto stappen, lijkt de natuur hier in een diepe winterslaap te verkeren. Onze wandeling begint bij dageraad in het afgelegen gehucht Ukko-Luostontien. In Lapland kunnen de kleuren van de lucht tijdens zonsopkomst en zonsondergang zeer intens zijn door de lage stand van de zon aan de horizon. De lange schemerperiodes kunnen unieke kleuren in de lucht veroorzaken, inclusief groene tinten, door verschillende verstrooiingseffecten van het zonlicht. De bomen buigen zachtjes onder het gewicht van de sneeuw. We lopen op de rug van de fells van Ukko-Luosto langs het oerbos in de bijzondere omgeving. Het zomerpad naar de top is afgesloten vanwege lawinegevaar, dus we vervolgen onze weg en proberen de top te bereiken via de noordelijke bergkam van Ukko-Luosto. Het pad loopt steil door de betoverende oerbossen, waar de bomen bedekt met kroonsneeuw er magisch uitzien. Het laatste gedeelte naar de top van de berg is de sneeuwlaag te diep voor ons. Het pad slingert zich een weg naar de top van Pikku-Luosto Fell. We zakken weg en moeten kruipen naar de top. Sneeuwschoenen zijn hier dus echt nodig. In de indrukwekkende Ukko-Luosto Scenic Hut kunnen we even bijkomen, op temperatuur komen en het magnifieke uitzicht bewonderen. Het is verschrikkelijk koud hier op de 514 meter hoge berg, mede door de strakke poolwind. De zon bereikt zijn hoogste punt op deze korte januaridag en schijnt prachtig net over de top van de berg. Ook is er een zonnehalo te zien, een optisch fenomeen dat ontstaat door de breking, reflectie en verstrooiing van licht door ijskristallen in de atmosfeer. We ontdooien nog even en rusten uit voordat we beginnen aan onze terugreis. Wandelen in de sneeuw is zwaar. We nemen dezelfde route terug omdat we niet vast willen komen te zitten in de diepe sneeuw en we in ieder geval voor het donker terug willen zijn in Luosto. In totaal hebben we meer dan 18.000 stappen gezet, maar we hebben genoten van deze speciale plek in Lapland. In Luosto hebben we onszelf getrakteerd op heerlijke rendier-jerky en panna cotta, terwijl BieJee genoot van een rendierburger.
This is a great time of the year for aurora photography in Alaska. There is open water for great reflection shots and if you time it just right you can capture the aurora and sunset or sunrise in the same shot. This photo was taken near Sheep Mountain, Alaska on the morning of August 18th, 2024. Nikon Z9. Nikkor Z 14-24 mm.
This is another shot from new years morning at Bluff Cove. This will probably remain the most increible morning of my life. Maureen is an amazing addition to our group of photographers despite the fact she isn't one; always willing to model for anyone, help out with anything, basically be awesome.
I hope you all have a great night :) More to come soon :D

We spent the weekend at Balls, a big experimental rocket launch event in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada - the same place where Burning Man takes place. We were quite busy in daytime preparing and launching rockets. It's time for leisure after 6pm. I thought, how about playing with the cracked mud of the playa? Downsized me looks funny, does it?
I processed a balanced, a photographic, and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures (of the landscape), merged them selectively, then processed a balanced, and a photographic HDR photo from two other RAW exposures (of me in the chair), merged them, then blended the two images to create this composite image, and carefully adjusted color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
