The last of my series of Notting Hill Carnival photos, for now at least, and probably my favourite - there is a voyeuristic pleasure in taking photos of other photographers. Even more so when they are as appealing as this woman who stood next to me for a while while we photographed the crowds.
Carrying my 10kg camera rucksack, with tripod, water, spare layers, food and maps; the people who I am with (in this instance my girlfriend) always comment on how do I do it, or why do I bother. My response is always the same - You have to be in it to win it :)
This photograph proves my point. We hiked to the summit of Scafell Pike, it was hot and steep and although I was constantly greeted with stunning scenery, the light was poor so I didn't bother getting out my camera. It wasn't until the last 15 minutes of the 4hr walk that the elements came together, producing just 30 seconds of stunning light. I had just enough time to set up, frame, focus, shoot. The light went as fast as it came and the effort of labouring up the mountain with my kit was more than worth it. I would also like to add that this hasn't been Photoshopped or played with much... the light was just that good.

A photograph of my tent overlooking Glenridding & Ullswater. The mist you can see forming was the start of a fantastic cloud inversion, which I would wake up to in complete awe.

... Somewhere on Skye. I should know, but having stopped the car a dozen times to take photographs, I forget where exactly they are taken. Today has been a stunning day, a winter wonderland. I could not resist this gorgeous mountain reflection; it's days like this that I dream of.

This hidden, scrubby corner deep in a frozen valley managed to catch my eye as the first rays of dappled sunlight began to break through the trees and gently illuminate a small group of frost covered leaves.
There was something about it that was enchanting enough for me to shoot; the colour, the light, the rich tones? Who knows.

The bridge over the falls at Killin. Partially de-saturated for a classic postcard feel.
Shot with my 9mm "lenscap" fisheye lens at f8.
I have been in Norway all of 2hrs, but the sun was setting & I needed my first images in the can. I headed to Ersfjord, not really knowing what I was going to find. I could see the sky catching fire & I became desperate. I managed to find this composition, which is ok & I am fairly happy with the final result. I can't help but feel something more magical should have come from this location & that sunset.

A dawn shot of one of the most beautiful beaches I have visited. The sand was frozen solid under my feet and the temperature was about -6ºc. I have the same image, taken approximately 25 minutes later with the sky bathed in glorious pink tones, but I love the tones of this one.

I used my lens cap to give a sense of how big the fungi was. There was fungi this size all over the park - very impressive!

I've become obsessed with Sigma lenses lately. I feel like they are really redefining their brand with the "Art" series of lenses. Anyways this is the engraving on the lens cap to my 18-250mm lens.
An early start for this one. A 4am hike brought me to the summit of Catbells to catch this glorious sunrise shoot.

A 2nd image from my trip to the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii. This is a wider take on my previous image and shot much later in the evening as the ambient light had faded. This is a very clean ISO 800 image from the Canon 5D MKIV.

From our 2nd last day of the 12 day winter tour around Iceland.
We waited one full day in bad weather to be able to photograph this mountain. The aim was to shoot the close by waterfall with the mountain in the background but it turned out that the fjord with the still weather gave much more interesting view of it. The waiting in snowfall for 24 hours also added a thick fresh layer of snow over everything making the scene much more interesting than without it. It is not often that snow falls evenly over everything here in Iceland. Usually it is blown into large piles complimented with large snow free areas.
I have never had a photographic equipment failure in my 4,5 years of photography. I have lost some lenscaps and a filter but never had any electronic or glass fail me. Until this trip. It seemed to have accumulated to hit me hard this trip. My body count is as follows:
Canon 30D Destroyed - Camera and tripod fell to the ground
Canon 70-200mm f4 broken - Unknown reasons
Canon 17-85mm broken badly - Fell to the ground on a camera and tripod
Canon 60D stopped working (brand new) - Stopped working for unknown reasons.
Remote trigger broken - Caple torn.
First massive kudos to Nýherji/Sense for flying out to us a new Canon 60D the same day as we called them and reported it broken. Thats what I call good service.
I hope now I will experience another 4,5 years free of equipment failure.
20.1.2011: Thanks alot everybody for the wonderful comments. I was pleasantly surprised how well it got received. I was not expecting this.
En-Route to the Cairngorms in Scotland, driving through fresh snowfall & my trigger finger was itching. I was constantly passing these wonderful snow covered Birch trees, but could not pull over to shoot them. Eventually I found a lay-by, strapped on my gaiters and went for a walk. This image was shot handheld, iso 400 and is one of my favourite images of the year.

A lone Silver Birch tree, standing out against the rolling mist in the background. I camped in this spot overnight and woke up to thick mist, with such little visibility that I could no longer see this tree.

blerg. weird mood.
i messed up this roll of film for really the first time since i started shooting film. somehow the canister got disengaged from the post/rewinding mechanism and i was unable to wind the film back up after shooting it, but i kept popping open the back the check the status (yes i know this can wipe the film of any photos that might have been on it). i came up with another idea, which was to leave the lenscap on and shoot/wind/shoot/wind the film and see if that fixed it. all it did was pull all the film out of the canister completely so that the canister was empty and the film was wound around the other post on the other side of the camera. thankfully, i was able to catch one of the photo techs at costco and he took the camera into the black tent and wound the film into a temporary canister and they were able to process the film. a few photos did get wiped and several have light leaks on them but most of them were okay. so thankful it happened when i was home rather than here at school where my processing options are the walgreens (staffed by mountain-people) or snapfish (obviously i can't send my whole SLR to them and ask for the same treatment)
anyway

One of the nicest little beaches I have ever visited. I was lucky enough to be treated to a beautiful sunrise, looking east as the sun rose behind... and yes, the water is really that blue.

Driving under flat grey skies, searching for inspiration was proving difficult. Just as I was on the homeward stretch, the skies came to life offering thunderous, swirling clouds with hurricane strength winds. This was exactly what I had been hoping for. Steadying myself, I wrestled with my tripod and managed to fire off a shot looking back down the road on Snaefellsnes Peninsula.

Where’s the fault in the Photo?
Jupp you’re right, Big Ben and The London Eye are on opposite Parts of the Westminster Bridge. But as nice as cameras are, the talented user can merge both sights together. I am not talking of merging it together in Photoshop!
What I did here was using the 30s mode. The first 15 seconds I pointed the camera on The London Eye, the next 15 seconds I quickly turned my Tripod around and shot the Big Ben.
If you ever plan to try it bring your lenscap. If you don’t install it whilst turning your camera the whole image will get blurry. You might not want to have it. Also it is hard to get the right detail here because the mirror doesn’t let any light come into your view finder… Think of that, it is important, too!
I hope you like it and get inspired to try some far away from Mainstream things!
Bye bye Flickr!

Number 293 of my 365 photo challenge - An HDR, landscape image of Gullfoss in Iceland on a very wet day.
The real challenge here was to make sure that I kept both the water from the rain and the spray off my lens long enough to take this image. This meant making sure I had everything set up with the lens cap on and then pop it off for just long enough to take the 5 exposures for the HDR.
This image has a very subtle quality to it. It isn't a shouty image, but each day it grows on me a little more, which is a sign of longevity. I will most certainly revisit this tree in Autumn.

The sun has now set & I need to get out of the canyon before darkness sets in, but no matter how fast the light fades this tree seems to continue to glow bright.

Ehhhh. 'Dunno! :P
Happy Bokeh Wednesday!!!!!!!!
(I know. I Know... It's "over-exposed"! :P I mean, the lens cap. Ehehehe!!!)
This shot shows some of the detail at Mossbrae Falls. This was the last shot I got before I slipped from a boulder and smacked my camera face down onto a rock. I was attempting to get closer by crossing the river to a small dry area in the middle. The rushing current was far to strong to wade, so I attempted some fancy mountain goat-like hopping from boulder to boulder. Then, my water shoes slipped on a slick patch and I did a faceplant onto the flat rocks below. My camera mounted to the tripod experienced a similar hit to the ground, just about 1 foot from going completely into the rushing water, so I guess i was lucky. I heard a "plunk" and saw my lenscap being swiftly carried away. Fearing some injury, I stayed on the ground for a moment, assessing the damage, when suddenly a man appeared on the shore. Eventually I limped over to him and he introduced himself as the owner of the property. He lives onsite.
Lens is the FA31 Limited
No, the image is not tilted, the far bank was oblique to me so the more distant side appears higher.

I photographed this in Little Langdale on top of Moss Rigg Quarry. The day hadn't been great and I was about to write it off. At the last minute the sun burst out and this wonderful composition revealed itself. I made a video about bad days, this day was included in the video. You can watch it Here.
