I guess you could call this a black and white self-portrait. This is a scan of a 35mm print, taken in the early '80s, when I took a photography class. I developed the film myself and printed the photo in a darkroom. Old Skool stuff! Back in those days, it was easy to spend all day in a darkroom experimenting, not to mention wasting a lot of photo paper. These days, it is easy to spend all day at a computer, tweaking photos with software.
I used an old Konica SLR, which must have weighed about 5 pounds :-)
The location was near Columbus, Mississippi, at Lake Lowndes State Park. It was a peaceful place to escape to. Their web site is www.stateparks.com/lake_lowndes.html
I was lucky enough to drive through Glencoe on my recent trip to Skye. It’s a shame that I could not spend a full day exploring, it was just a quick stop off as we had a lot of driving still to do. My plan was to photograph Buachaille Etive Mor en route to Skye. This is a prominent peak, which is instantly recognisable. I wanted to concentrate much more on the form and the shape of the mountain, rather than the landscape in which it sits.

After a night of Wild Camping on Lingmoor Fell (just out of shot) I awoke to a surreal calm. There was not a breath of wind and the reflections coming from the tarn below were irresistible. I managed to pack away my tent before sunrise and make it down to the water just in time. I will most certainly be revisiting this location during the peak of Autumn.

Driving back home from Skye, we passed through Glencoe and over Rannoch Moore. Everything had thawed in the glen, however up on the moore, the Lochan's were still icy. I couldn't resist having a wonder around looking for compositions like this one. I used the excuse of 'needing to stretch my legs'. 40 minutes later and I returned to the car with a big smile on my face. The missus was not impressed.

Shot at sunrise boulevard in Dapitan, Zamboanga Del Norte, have to go to a knee-deep of mud to take this shot. This swamp also served as the grave of my lenscap. haha! ^_^

50% Chance you have one of these in your bag. I love it when everyday objects reveal a hidden property under the macro lens. Only an inch and a half, 50mm pancake lens with a couple of extension tubes, ~15° angle to accentuate the ridges. Forward lit by a completely white computer monitor. I was going to stack it, but I kind of like the depth of field fade at the top and the bottom edges.

Driving down to North Yorkshire, my heart was sinking as the earlier light had well and truly disappeared behind flat, dark, grey clouds. On top of this, there was torrential rain. Rather than drive home I decided to make the 20 minute, wet muddy walk to check out the location as I have never been here before. I made the terrible error of leaving my camera in the car, certain the day was a write off. I couldn't believe my luck when I could see the clouds breaking in the distance and when I say 'luck', I mean bad luck.
I decided I could make it (See Facebook ). I could run to my car, get my kit, set up and beat the break in the clouds which was sure to allow the light to sweep over my foreground for just a few seconds. I was soaked, muddy, sweaty and exhausted, but I made it with minutes to spare. I framed my shot and waited. I could see the light coming and it swept over the bluebells and Roseberry Topping for just 10 seconds.

I do a lot of rock climbing in my spare time and I am constantly making mental notes of crags to return to with a camera rather than a rope. Last night I bumped Hadrian's Wall for this wonerful, empty, peaceful location. Not another soul in sight. Pitty.
Not much editing on this one, I used a circ polariser and a ND0.6 HE. Processed in Lightroom; I simply lifted the shadows, a touch of contrast and reduced highlights.

For teh love of my babeh. :D haha. Spent 10 mins coloring a rainbow sphere. I miss doing macro shot. Tho you could see the crappy coloring up close. XD Need to practice coloring again. Haha. I'm sleepy.
A red eyed tree frog, photographed on a recent trip to Costa Rica. They're nocturnal and not easy to find. I shot this image with my camera mounted on my monopod in one hand and my head torch in my other hand, illuminating from top left. These guys are great to shoot and full of character.

I think this just broke the record for the fastest shot I have ever composed. This was the mistiest waterfall I have seen since visiting Yosemite several years ago. It was absolutely roaring yesterday. I could feel the mist the second I got out of my car in the parking lot. By the time I got close enough to see it, I could barely keep my eyes open with all the blowing mist. So… I ducked behind a tree to take shelter. It was the only slightly dry spot around. I would peek out from behind the tree to try and pick out a spot that I thought would make a nice composition. Then I set all the camera settings the way I wanted them. Shut the autofocus off, so it wouldn't be focusing on some random particle of water. Opened up the tripod legs, then, ran out to my spot, plopped down the tripod, pulled off the lenscap, fired off a shot within about one millisecond. Then, ran back to take shelter behind my tree. I repeated this process several times until I ran out of dry things to wipe the lens with.
This is Grizzly Falls in Kings Canyon National Park.
The old double exposure lens cap trick...
Focus on the wall and light it up with torch. Lens cap. Move the camera, change the orientation and reset the focus. Lens cap off and spin the dome.... Straight in for a warm cuppa and some of Marthas cakes!!
(taken on one exposure, no additions after the exposure. I will adjust levels, saturation, white balance, brightness and some minor cropping if required.)
While I had the rig set up from last night I thought I'd better get some more use out of it. Camera laid on its back under a regular pendulum. Lights off and pendulum with light swung for about 50 secs to leave a gap in the physiogram. Lens cap put on and camera moved to tripod at pre determined location and flash fired while I stand there and pull a stupid face, the first of many this year I should imagine!

All week I have been waiting for this and it was over in 15 seconds. Not to mention that I had already started packing away. It really was incredible to see the aurora so strong, it lit up the entire forest.

This was the aurora from the 15th of March. This was considered low activity, but I much prefer it to the display we all got last night (17th). We had beautifully clear skies on this evening, however it came at a price of -33ºc. Brutal, but worth it.

Back from Iceland, I thought I would find my local patch a little uninspiring. I couldn't have been more wrong. This is straight out of camera with very little processing. This is not HDR, the sky was just that lovely. I have been waiting for this shot for a while, the tide & the light had to both be perfect for it to work.

This was taken on my first visit to the Yorkshire Dales. What a stunning place. The weather was atrocious and I really had to fight the elements to get this shot, braving hail and snow showers whipped across the moors by 40mph winds. Well worth the effort, I think. It just doesn't feel right if it's too easy.

The gorgeous colour in the sky was yet to bloom. I took this shot with little expectation, but the cold, blue tones in the sky & ice work so well with the black beach. Large aperture required to get the right amount of motion in the water.

My favourite place in the world, Iceland. I was clearing out my computer and organising my images when I came across this photo without any rating. If an image is not rated, it is usually deleted. A lucky escape for me as I love this peaceful image. So simple and uncomplicated. I think it shalln't be too long before I book another visit. FYI this was photographed somewhere around Thingvellir.

On my way home from work I couldn't resist making a detour to my favourite lighthouse. The light was looking so soft and inviting & for once the sea was like a millpond. I had all of 5 minutes to find and take this image before the lovely colours of dusk were gone for another day.

An afternoon of photography in the lake district was coming to an end, I was running late and needed to get home. Driving past Bassenthwaite, it caught my eye. It was still. I have never been to the lakes when it has been perfectly still. I couldn't pass up this opportunity. In seconds the light would be gone and who knows when the breeze would pick back up again as it had been all day. I pulled my car in to the nearest bit of road wide enough to park, grabbed my camera and scrambled down to the water's edge. I managed just a couple of exposures before the sun was lost behind Whinlatter to the west.

The Asahi Pentax KX 35mm film camera. It still works!
From the Pentax Forums -
Manufactured from 1975 to 1977. The Pentax KX was one of the three original K-mount cameras introduced by Pentax as a replacement for the Spotmatic family of screw mount cameras.
The KX model was one step up from the KM with a more sensitive light meter, a wider ISO range, and mirror lock-up. It had a match-needle exposure readout so that the shutter speed set was indicated in the viewfinder. The aperture set on the lens was visible in the viewfinder through a small window.
The KX is the only Pentax where the wind lever must be pulled slightly out for the meter to work. This makes the camera unsuitable for left-eyed users. Fortunately Pentax didn't repeat this poor design on their later cameras.
Taken on a long lens just before setting off up Blencathra. Perhaps the animosity of the clouds should have been taken as a warning. The weather was a little tasty up on the fells.

I was lucky enough to stumble upon this amazing beach when on holiday in Morocco. These arches of fire red granite are stunning and quite intimidating when coupled with the ferocious tide. The thought of becoming cut off was not a pleasant one. I would have loved to spend more time here. Perhaps one day I will return.

After a long hiatus recharging and upgrading optics at a maintenance station near Metropolis 1, the IDIOTs (Intergalactic Digital Imaging Optical Technicians) reactivated the Hullbull Remote Space Telescope and obtained a test image of a nearby reflection/emission nebula and associated stars. In this image, emission and reflection nebulae are powered by hot blue and red supergiant stars, while streamers of dust (absorption nebulae) partially and completely obscure more distant stars. Two nearby galaxies are present in the upper left portion of the image.
Not a real space photo. Light art.
Two image composite exposure. First image: Waterworld technique to create 'reflection/emission nebulae'. Second image for background and foreground stars, and galaxies designed and implemented based on Waterworld image geometry - ingredients: One clear plate glass, red, blue and orange-yellow LEDs, ThinkGeek LED flashlight set to pink, one spray bottle, water, one package of food savers. Some lenscap on, lenscap off. 100mm lens used for Waterworld elements; 16-35mm lens used for background galaxies and background stars, change to 100mm lens for larger stars. Nothing fancy.
