Fortunately, Gail and I spend all of our leisure time together, usually doing something like what we did today, photographing something. Today’s Coronavirus Day trip, one of my favorites, Cape May Fishing Fleet. Not as busy as usual
Isolated deep in the desert of the South Western frontier, a gang of tough outlaws have established themselves in an abandoned tower. The height of the tower allows them a commanding view of all approaches.
A relationship made in heaven....

I copy\pasted this info directly from the Northwest Waterfall Survey: Pending the documentation of Alice Falls, and perhaps the even more isolated Cress Falls, Ranger Falls could be considered the best waterfall in the Carbon River area of Mount Rainier National Park. The falls drop down a forested, mossy step, cascading 44 feet then plunging 55 feet before spitting into two segments, which converge just before the base of the falls, dropping another 73 feet.
I think I've waited long enough to post my fave shot of Ranger Falls. It's been blown up to 16x20 and is hanging just off my right shoulder right now. :-) Can't stop thinking of this place, guess I need to get those snow shoes, and poles, and warmer gortex coat, and.......Gads this hobby is expensive! Happy Sunday all!
Hiking above Luz St Sauveur, in the French Pyrenees, early in the morning, the first light stroke this sheepfold. I liked the resulting isolated feeling.
As often, I had shot backlit, and needed postprocessing (with the darktable software) to restore contrast. My efforts focused on make the sheep pen stand out. For this, I increased contrast close to it, and decreased contrast far from it.
Specifically, I used equalizer filters with clarity preset on the house, and with bloom preset in the right of the picture. I used a bloom filter on the illuminated grass in the front right and a tone curve on the tree above the house to make it stand out. I used color correction to make the highlight more green. Finally, I used a small amount of soften filter in the bottom of the image, to give less importance to the trees.
October 2020 and the very first visit to the Lakes this year due to you know what...
It was so good to get back up here again as I've really missed it, the Autumn colours are just starting to turn and even though it poured down for a large part of the day it didn't matter.
This was our first stop off point on this day and the water levels in the lake were absolutely perfect for this, the last time I came here you couldn't even see the old jetty beneath the water, the timing on this was really lucky too as pretty much as soon as I had got this shot it started to rain...
Huge thanks to Mike Tonge too for letting me borrow his cable release to get this portrait version, seeing as mine was playing up, that's now been whizzed into the bin...
Anyway, great to be back, and a couple more images to come.
The new little boathouse on the opposite side of the water is a welcome new feature.

So, yesterday it arrived as promised........Snow, and I was day off! Un(Freaking)believable!
This was actually the last shot of the day but the others are taking a little longer to perfect and I have some other bits to work on so they will have to wait!
This has to be my favourite "lone tree" so far! I hope you lot like it!
Yesterday afternoon was frustrating waiting to figure out where to go...I waited too long at one spot along I-17, then finally raced northwest of Wickenburg, only to see some isolated storms fire up south of me and I changed directions. As I am headed south towards Tonopah, I see this guy to the west and suddenly a bolt fires. I find whatever flat ground I can and do my best to capture this bolt before it quickly died out. So rare to find a crazy isolated storm like this, much less at sunset and with lightning...wish it had last longer!
So technical thought for those learning (me included!)...I let auto-focus do this for me because I was in a hurry, but it's not as sharp as I would want. Using live view right after let me hone in perfectly. With lightning especially, using live view to focus when you can will make all the difference in getting sharp shots. Or knowing your perfect infinity spot on your lens!

Isolated, surfing the waves of life, swallowing water and surfacing, until the arrival of the next wave.
The first stop on our Torridon trip was by the A' Ghairbhe near Kinlochewe. Steve (Stoates) and I headed up the forestry track to explore the wooded hillside. I left Steve photographing a waterfall and found this lone Birch Tree in amongst the pines with a misty Beinn Eighe in the distance.

On a slanted hill, stands a slanted tree, which indicates some very strong winds go through this area of Sonoma County.
It was indeed! Passed over me in about 4mins! Big raindrops too!!
This was yesterday on my Lantern Pike trig hunt!!
Beautiful up there on the hills!!
