Window light portrait with my Mamiya C220, a beautiful medium format twin lens reflex camera which I still use today. Taken in 2017 when she was just 17 :)

Every shadow is always a signpost to the light.
Jeder Schatten ist auch immer ein Wegweiser zum Licht.
The souls of people, on their way to Earth-life, pass through a room full of lights; each takes a taper - often only a spark - to guide it in the dim country of this world. But some souls, by rare fortune, are detained longer - have time to grasp a handful of tapers, which they weave into a torch. These are the torch-bearers of humanity - its poets, seers and saints, who lead and lift the race out of darkness, toward the light. They are the law-givers and saviours, the light-bringers, way-showers and truth-tellers, and without them, humanity would lose its way in the dark.

[Titolo: Luci e ombre]
Era una giornata nuvolosa e senza luce, il tempo non era dei migliori ma sono uscito lo stesso...magari avrei trovato qualcosa di interessante da fotografare. Il mio pensiero si è esaudito poco dopo, quando sono arrivato vicino a quest'albero. Devo dire che appena arrivato, il cielo aveva uno spesso strato di nuvole, e la luce che vedete qui è uscita quasi per magia solo per pochi attimi! È stata quindi un'occasione da non perdere e ho scattato subito!
La luce calda delle ultime ore del pomeriggio ha illuminato le foglioline ancora giovani di questo piccolo noce (perché di un noce si tratta) e il prato sottostante...
Tornato a casa ero pienamente soddisfatto!
Per dire l'ultima cosa, l'albero è lo stesso della mia precedente foto intitolata "Lonely tree"!
It was a cloudy day and without light, the weather was not the best but I came out the same ... maybe I would find something interesting to photograph. My thoughts came to be heard shortly after I came near this tree. I have to say that as soon as the sky had a thick layer of clouds, and the light you see here has come out almost for magic just for a few moments! It was therefore an opportunity not to be missed and I took it straight away!
The warmest light of the last hours of the afternoon illuminated the still young leaves of this little walnut (because of a walnut it is) and the lawn below ...
Returning home I was fully satisfied!
To say the last thing, the tree is the same as my previous photo titled "Lonely Tree"!
Just having a bit of fun with my set up. It will never win any comps, and it's not meant to :-)
Merry Christmas all.
There is an old adage in photography that states, "f8 and be there". How else can I explain this epic sunset photo? As it happened, my location was ideal to catch the light that seemed to arch over the clouds. While it appeared to billow in puffy sections above, a very different looking mass appeared at the center point below.
The rest fell into place as the magic of nature unfolded above my water side perch. In an attempt to properly title this shot, the word "epic" kept coming up. Having photographed this location multiple times over many years, this is the most astonishing light I have captured here, to date.
Black and white is best at capturing the shimmering light as the waves crash upon these Low Head rocks.
Not all thresholds are made of stone.
Some are crossed in gold light and digital breath.
Step into the ritual with me.

The sun finally reaches the ruined bothay high up above Mardale Head and Haweswater, with the High Street Fells dusted with snow.
We had parked up at the foot of the "old corpse road" by the Lake and climbed up the path to this point. I had promised John Bleakley that he would enjoy the view from here and I don't think he was disappointed.
We spent an hour or so pottering around the 3 ruined buildings looking at potential shots as we waited for the sun to get over Selside and light this place up. When the sun finally came it was a harsh winter light, with it being so cold and clear. So despite looking at other compositions, here is the classic shot of the lower ruin, with the ridge of Riggindale leading all the way up to High Street.
The skyline from left to right is;- Branstree, Harter Fell, Nan Bield Pass, Mardale Ill Bell, Racecourse Hill, High Street, Long Stile, Short Stile and Twopenny Crag.
One from the archives: I have only been through Union Station in New Haven, CT, a couple of times - but the shiny tunnels are so attractive to photograph.
You're looking at a shot fired into a mirror of the following:
1- Nikon D300 Camera
2- AFS VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f2.8 G IF ED
3- Nikon R1 Creative lighting system with 2 additional SB-R200 flashguns
4- The top middle flash is the camera's built in flash in commander mode
What I love about this shot is that you can see the image captured in the sensor inside the lens' stopped down aperture!
Put light against light - you have nothing.
Put dark against dark - you have nothing.
It's the contrast of light and dark that
each give the other one meaning.

The Light by Disturbed
Like an unsung melody
The truth is waiting there for you to find it
It's not a blight, but a remedy,
A clear reminder of how it began
Deep inside your memory
Turned away as you struggled to find it
You heard the call as you walked away
A voice of calm from within the silence
And for what seemed an eternity
You wait and hoping it would call out again
You heard the shadow reckoning
Then your fears seemed to keep you blinded
You held your guard as you walked away
When you think all is forsaken,
Listen to me now
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light
An unforgivable tragedy
The answer isn't' where you think you'd find it
Prepare yourself for the reckoning
For when your world seems to crumble again
Don't be afraid to turn away
You’re the one who can redefine it
Don't let hope become a memory
Let the shadow permeate your mind and
Reveal the thoughts that were tucked away
So that the door can be opened again
Within your darkest memories
Lies the answer if you dare to find it
Don't let hope become a memory
When you think all is forsaken,
Listen to me now
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light
Sickening weakening
Don't let another somber pariah consume your soul
You need strengthening, toughening
It takes an inner dark to rekindle the fire burning in you
ignite the fire within you
When you think all is forsaken,
Listen to me now
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light
Don't ignore, listen to me now
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness
Can show you the light
Catching the light - Looking across from the Quiraing to the unique and remarkable landscape of the Trotternish Ridge, with the summer greens on Cnòc a Mhèrlich, Cleat and Bioda Buidhe catching the light on an otherwise gloomy scene.

Afternoon sun means shafts of light filtering through the West Loop buildings. Sometimes it's not always intuitive how it's going to fall.
