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!
A clump of reeds. A misty morning. Even simple things can hold the sense of mystery.
On the shores of the Penrith Lakes
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.

During lockdown in the Netherlands I spend hours looking at the reeds reflections. The scenery changes every minute and watching the colours and patterns change with every wave or ripple I started to make photos, hundreds of photos. The impressions fascinate me and I decided to print some of the on canvas. This is the result.
Tijdens de eerste weken van de lockdown heb ik veel gefotografeerd. Kleuren en patronen van reflecties op het wateroppervlak veranderen snel onder invloed van ribbelingen en golven. Het effect heeft me gefascineerd. Bovenstaande is het resultaat. Een selectie van de beelden heb ik 60 bij 30 op canvas laten afdrukken.
Hidden away in a narrow side canyon of Carnarvon Gorge, is this isolated community of ferns dominated by Angiopteris evecta. Protected naturally from fire and grazing and now from tourists this community is an isolated outlier. It is well watered by seepage from the Precipice sandstone that forms the walls of the canyon.
Angiopteris evecta is commonly known as the king fern, or in our region it is also known as Fraser Island Fern, for that is the other location where they are known to grow, naturally. (We have some in our fernery!) It is a very large rainforest fern in the family Marattiaceae native to most parts of Southeast Asia and Oceania. Fraser Island is a coastal sand mass and yet it supports rain forests including this giant fern. If that is not unique enough, the photographed example is at a location 500 kms away and 500 kms from the coast and in the grazing region of central Queensland!
It has a history dating back about 300 million years, and is believed to have the longest fronds of any fern in the world.
Angiopteris evecta is a self-supporting evergreen perennial fern with very large bipinnate fronds. The trunk-like rhizome is massive, measuring up to 1 m in diameter. The older portions of the rhizome lie on the ground while the newer growth may rise vertically up to 1.5 m high.
The arching, glossy green fronds, which emerge from the tip of the rhizome, may reach up to 9 m long and 2.5 m wide, with the fleshy green petiole (leaf stem) making up 2 m of that length. They are recognized as the longest fern fronds in the world. Despite their enormous size they have no woody strengthening tissues in the fronds to keep them erect—instead they are supported entirely by the hydraulic pressure of the sap.

As we move from social distancing to staying home to self-isolation we must remember that there is always hope especially as we direct our thoughts, concerns, and actions outward.
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.

Most of the winter snow had melted, but for a few isolated patches. Around one we found an oasis of Pasque flowers, Crocuses, Trumpet Gentian and Snowbells
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.

158758, forming 2H85, Northern’s 0824 Carlisle - Leeds passes the isolated signal box at Blea Moor on 15 October 2021. Although severe winters still affect this location it's not as remote as it seems as a constant stream of walkers (and railway nuts like me) pass the site throughout the day
Dont look to hard at my jenky Photoshop skills. Took me ages to figure out how to remove stuff from the horizon. Anyway this is fromMeols Beach in the Wirral, 30 second eposure to smooth that water out.
