I uploaded this a few years back and wanted to upload a larger version. One of the best mornings of photography I've ever had. During a winter camping trip in the Mt Hood national forest.
This image was created using my most current post processing workflow. I just finished producing an instructional video which I illustrate how I use the powerful tools and techniques available in Lightroom and Photoshop along with the TKActions V4 Panel to achieve an incredible level of control throughout my workflow.

El avión Douglas DC-3 de la marina de los Estados Unidos se vió obligado a realizar un aterrizaje de emergencia sobre la playa de arena negra Sólheimasandur el 24 de Noviembre de 1973 en plena guerra fría. Afortunadamente no hubo víctimas mortales. Hoy en día representa uno de los puntos fotográficos más famosos de Islandia.

It’s one of Iceland’s most iconic and haunting photography locations. On Saturday Nov 24, 1973 a United States Navy Douglas Super DC-3 airplane was forced to land on Sólheimasandur’s black sand beach. Luckily all crew members survived the crash.

... is a special day to celebrate the world’s third-largest mammal. It’s also a day to learn more about the hippopotamus.
The blue whale and the African elephant are the only two mammals in the world that are larger than the hippopotamus. The word hippo translates to river horse in ancient Greek. The giant animal weighs a whopping 3,600 kg (8,000 lbs). There is only one continent in the world you can find a hippo. That continent is Africa. Hippos are native to over 30 countries in Africa. These herbivores live up to 50 years in the wild. There are only two species of hippos on the planet. These include the common hippopotamus and the pygmy hippo.
Here are some more interesting facts about the hippopotamus:
- They secrete an oily red substance on their skin, which acts as sunblock and a moisturizer.
- Hippos spend up to 16 hours a day submerged in water but have to come up every 5 minutes for air.
- Mother hippos give birth to their babies in the water.
- Baby hippos weigh about 45 kg (100 lbs).
- Female hippos give birth to one calf every two years.
- Even though hippos don’t look fast, they can run up to 30 km/h (19 mph).
- Hippos consume nearly 70 kg (150 lbs) of grass in a 4 to 5 hour grazing period.
- Hippos are the most aggressive animals in the world and kill 500 humans a year.
- Predators of the hippo include hyenas, lions, and crocodiles. Unfortunately, humans have also become a primary predator. While some hunt hippos for their meat, others hunt them for ivory canine teeth. The demand for hippo teeth escalated after the ban on the international trade of elephant ivory in 1989. Despite recent efforts to ban the trade of hippo teeth, the animal is classified as vulnerable. Through the years, the most significant decline in the hippo population has occurred in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

"We learn little from victory, much from defeat." Japanese Proverb.
Shortly after visiting and photographing the Bamboo Forest at dawn, the sky began to be covered with clouds. I had left the visit to Kinkaku-ji for the last day, hoping to get a picture of this magnificent building with the rays of the sun illuminating its golden facade. Bearing in mind that the temple opens at 9am and closes at 5pm, there was no possibility to photograph it at sunrise or sunset. I do not usually publish photographs taken in broad daylight, but the Golden Pavilion is one of my favorite buildings in the world and I always wanted to have it in my portfolio.
When I arrived at the temple the sky was still covered with clouds, the weather predicted the possibility of sun during the afternoon, I only had to place the tripod and wait, but ... tripods are prohibited, so a couple of guards were in charge of control that nobody used them and that the dozens and dozens of people looking for their selfie did not occupied totally the best place to see the temple. When I saw such a situation, I opted for a slightly different composition from one side, I could place the tripod in front of me and cover it with my body, the crowd around me helped to make me go unnoticed. After much waiting the sun leaked for a very short time and I was able to get the photograph that you see. Shortly afterwards one of the guards noticed it and invited me to remove the tripod. Despite the adversities I got my picture and the sun did not come out again with the same intensity. The golden glow of the pavilion was fleeting, and perhaps that made me appreciate it even more.
-----------------------------
"Aprendemos poco con la victoria, en cambio, mucho con la derrota." Proverbio Japonés.
Poco después de visitar y fotografiar el Bosque de Bambú al amanecer, el cielo empezó a cubrirse de nubes. Había dejado la visita a Kinkaku-ji para el último día, con la esperanza de conseguir una foto de este magnífico edificio con los rayos del sol iluminando su dorada fachada. Teniendo en cuenta que el templo abre a las 9 y cierra a las 17.00, no había posibilidad de fotografiarlo al amanecer o al atardecer. No suelo publicar fotografías realizadas en pleno día, pero el Pabellón Dorado es uno de mis edificios favoritos del mundo y siempre había querido tenerlo en mi portafolio.
Cuando llegué al templo el cielo seguía cubierto de nubes. La predicción del tiempo anunciaba posibilidad de sol durante la tarde, solo quedaba colocar el trípode y esperar, pero... los trípodes están prohibidos, por lo que un par de guardias se encargaban de controlar que nadie los usara y que las decenas y decenas de personas buscando su selfie no se agolparan en el mejor sitio. Al ver semejante panorama opté por una composición un poco diferente desde un lateral, pude colocar el trípode delante mía y cubrirlo con mi cuerpo, la muchedumbre que me rodeaba ayudaba a hacerme pasar desapercibido. Después de mucho esperar, el sol se filtró durante poquísimo tiempo y pude conseguir la fotografía que veis. Poco después uno de los guardias se percató y me invitó a guardar el trípode. A pesar de las adversidades conseguí mi foto y además el sol no volvió a salir con la misma intensidad. El brillo dorado del pabellón fue fugaz, y quizás eso me hizo apreciarlo todavía más.

Laced amongst the 1.3 billion people of China, 56 ethnic minority groups make their home in various provinces across the country. One of the largest of these minorities, with a population of over 7 million people, is the Miao people located in the mountainous region of South West China. As the Miao spread out across this region throughout history, numerous tribes evolved out of the main clan and adopted variations on customs and culture. These now distinct tribes became known by the unique characteristics of their clothing and decorations and were named accordingly.
One particular tribe, centred on the village of Longga, is the Changjiao Miao. Changjiao or “Long Horns”, when directly translated, reflects the custom of animal horns being worn as head ornaments by tribe women for special occasions. It was only recently, in 1994, with the building of the highway to Longga, that these beautiful people and their culture have been revealed to the world.
Cloth and costumes are important instruments in shaping the identity of the individual clans or tribes and expressing their unique characteristics. These minority communities weave their histories through these intricate fabrics, reflecting their relationship with the environment and uniqueness of the cultural make-up of the clan.
The application of the carefully combined colours and intricate embroidery to the fabric provides the group with an outlet to express feelings and emotions. Women learn to make batik and embroider from an early age and achieve their social status in this fashion. The girl who can weave and embroider special patterns is seen to be hard working and extraordinarily intelligent and she will become the most sought after bride in the community.
On special occasions and during festivals, the women construct an elaborate headpiece utilizing the clan’s namesake long horn. These horns are first fixed to the women’s real hair, then a highly structured decorative bun of linen, wool and ancestral hair are wrapped in a figure eight around the horn. The hair is then secured to the horn by a geometric white ribbon. This headdress, together with the native costumes, composes the standard attire for festival season.
The Miao celebrate multiple festivals throughout the year. One of the most popular with the youth is the Flower Dancing Festival between the 4th and 14th day of the first lunar month. This time of year is dedicated to the single youngsters in the community in order to gather and look for their life long partners. The girls ascend on the village in groups where they dance and sing in antiphonal style entertaining the boys from other villages. Once a boy and a girl become attracted to each other, a presentation of gifts signals the engagement.
Getting to the actual marriage is a much more elaborate affair, with the groom’s family having to convince the bride’s that he is worthy and will provide for her in the years to come. Endless proposals follow endless refusals and months of bargaining ensue. Finally, when the girl’s family is happy with the betrothal gifts, they are free to get married or if an agreement is not met, the groom’s family may signal the couple to run off and elope.
Unlike western society, divorce does not involve drawn out court battles and asset wars. If a couple falls out of love, they need only give notice to the tribal seniors and are then seen as “on the market” again.
Couldn't find very much about this thing except for a few shots where it can be seen far in the background of The Force Awakens, but here it is! I've never built (or at least finished) anything like this before, so I got to learn a lot about making models similar. Hopefully I'll be able to use it a few times in bigger displays before better pictures get released and I have to redo it. Thanks

Juvi made an perfect landing, fun to watch them struggling as they learn to ly and then land. Plenty of time for them to hone these skills.
And as you grow up you learn that happiness is not that of great things.
It is not what you pursue at twenty, when, as gladiators, you fight the world to come out victorious ...
Happiness is not what one eagerly pursues believing that love is all or nothing, it is not that of strong emotions that make the "bang" and explode out with spectacular thunder ...
happiness is not that of skyscrapers to climb, of challenges to be overcome by continually putting oneself to the test.
Growing up you learn that happiness is made up of small but precious things ...
... and you learn that the scent of coffee in the morning is a small ritual of happiness, that the notes of a song are enough, the sensations of a book with colors that warm the heart, that the aromas of a kitchen are enough, the poetry of the painters of happiness, that the muzzle of your cat or dog is enough to feel a slight happiness.
And you learn that happiness is made up of emotions on tiptoe, of small explosions that quietly widen the heart, that the stars can move you and the sun make your eyes shine,
and you learn that a field of sunflowers can illuminate your face, that the scent of spring wakes you up from winter, and that sitting down to read in the shade of a tree relaxes and frees your thoughts.
And you learn that love is made up of delicate sensations, of small sparks in the stomach, of close even if distant presences, and you learn that time expands and that those 5 minutes are precious and long more than many hours, and you learn that just close your eyes, turn on your senses, bake in the kitchen, read a poem, write in a book or look at a photo to cancel time and distances and be with those you love.
And you learn that hearing a voice on the phone, receiving an unexpected message, are happy little moments.
And you learn to have small but precious dreams in your drawer and in your heart.
And you learn that holding a baby is a delightful happiness.
And you learn that the greatest gifts are the ones that speak of the people you love ...
And you learn that there is happiness even in that urge to write your thoughts on a piece of paper, that there is something bitterly happy even in melancholy.
And you learn that despite your defenses, despite your will or your destiny, in every seagull that flies there is a little-big in the heart.
Jonathan Livingston.
And you learn how beautiful and grand simplicity is.
