I managed to catch the murmuration at sunset from the Brighton Pier recently. I never cease to be fascinated by the wonderful aerial display of the Starlings.
Managed to pop into RSPB Bempton Cliffs on way up North for a family event. First time I've been there and first time I've seen a Gannet - I was not disappointed such beautiful birds! HWW ;0)
I finally managed to get back to the river this week - chasing the last of a fickle summer whose mornings now carry a hint of autumn. Until I get to review these images; here’s one from the same spot I returned to, taken last autumn – they have in common a play with colour and texture, the reflected leaves painted almost as brushstrokes. In this case, I’ve pushed the interpretation during processing towards the abstract, but quite like the result so I guess I’ll just have to print it to see if it makes the mark. Have a lovely weekend.

Managed to escape for a few hours last weekend to Dunure and Troon...
First one I took, OK about 12 or so, was at the harbour with the waves crashing in.... was a bit cold and windy!
I managed to get just one quick shot of this attractively sculpted, fast-moving ground beetle before it disappeared into the trail-side undergrowth.
Unfortunately, on this occasion, it didn't quite manage to get into the air - there wasn't enough wind!
In a plane of this type, and of his own design, Louis Blériot was the first to fly a heavier-than-air aircraft across the English Channel in July 1909.
An extremely successful early design, over 100 were constructed, some even seeing service in the early part of WW1.
This one is owned by The Shuttleworth Collection and seen here valiantly trying to get airborne at its home base of Old Warden.
Managed to get out for a short walk this afternoon. The temperature has gone up and the sun came out. Heavenly. 😍
Took this in the garden of one of our friends who lives only a few doors down from us.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :)
Wahey! Managed to recover my fluffed shots so I get the classic image to add to my collection after all. Took a fair bit of cloning and cleaning but got there in the end. Pity about the peeps but hey, scale.
I Google'd this and not surprisingly found hundreds of near identical images. Hey-ho. Couldn't not do it though, could I?
So.. lots of pictures taken with the X-E1, stitched in Microsoft ICE and then cleaned and tweaked in a bunch of other software. Threw in a shade of cross processing for that edgy, ain't I a cool dude look. Does it suit me?
Thanks for visiting and please come again soon.. no really..
Regards

An amazing mystery tour awaits you on this link....
Go on, dare you :D
I managed to finish work a little early . So I drove out onto Romney Marsh Looking for Little Owls they were not showing . Thus started my Red Letter two hours ! 1/ Barn owl very close 2/ a Marsh harrier in flight 3/ this Buzzard asking for a photo 4/ a Woodpecker as I sat under a tree looking for the little owls that I never got to see today . I have often spent a day getting a shot of one of these birds on the above list let alone all four in two hours
Have not been able to photograph for too long. I managed to setup in the backyard and get some shots.
I managed to escape the confines of pixel world over the weekend and indulged in the human festivities they call Pride.

Whatever you're into... I hope you're having fun doing it.

My character, Aurelian, in his costume.
I had much fun meshing this mask. :D

I managed to sneak up on these elegant swans caught in a torrential downpour on the outskirts of this farmers field. My success is solely attributed to the rain which muffled my approach through the brush and brambles. I got soaked in the process but this image was worth it.
I managed to get my first Aurora last night. It was very faint and not visible with the naked eye so had to boost colours a bit to show it up.
I shot at iso 2000 @F4 for 60 seconds at 16mm but in hindsight I should of increased the iso to reduce the star movement.
managed to capture this delight while zoom-zooming in Vancouver yesterday, would love to meet the owners :)
I spotted this little green iridescent beetle land and managed to get a couple of shots before it flew off
An eastern phoebe launches from its perch in pursuit of a fly. This was a lucky shot and not perfectly in focus, but I do admire my flickr friends who manage to catch small birds in flight in perfect focus.
This the the Chilean Viewpoint building in Benmore Gardens which I was lucky enough to catch during a colourful sunset.
Thinking over and over again about the situation that happened last night with the boy she has a secret crush on, she sat in the corridor alone using her favorite spell over and over....
Managed to snap this one as the sun was emerging over the horizon - the framing was a challenge with so much clutter
The incredibly atmospheric Old City in Nazareth really does manage to meet tourist expectations. But Nazareth is a big, modern, growing city of shopping malls and dual carriageways, with a population of 100,000 and the centre of cultural and political life for Arabs in Israel proper. A great way to appreciate it in all its aspects is to take in the view from Mount Precipice (395 m above sea level).
Mount Precipice is said to be where Jesus was chased after preaching a very unpopular sermon at the Nazareth Synagogue – when the crowd tried to throw him off Mount Precipice's steep cliffs: "They got up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they might hurl him off the cliff. But he passed through the midst of them and went on his way." (Luke 4: 29–30)
On top of the ridge above the old city is the modern minaret (2009) and onion dome of the Nebi Saeen Mosque, and to its right, the red roof and white tower of the St Gabriel Hotel. Further to the left is the 1906-23 Salesian Church, the Basilica of Jesus the Adolescent. On the lower slopes, the Annunciation Basilica is very obvious - and huge. The Synagogue Church and Christ Church Anglican are visible to its left if one knows what one is looking for. Finally on the left are the green dome and minaret of the modern Al-Sadiq Mosque.
Managed to get out for a shortish walk this morning. Started off in great light, which then got worse and worse. But at least I got out!

I managed to see the Aurora on Thursday night. I took loads of photos and had such a great time. I was completely alone on my favourite beach at Rhossili (3 miles long!). Not the best Aurora shots I have seen but still happy to get anything! All shots taken in RAW and converted to jpeg images with no added saturation.
I managed to get up Ben A' An after work the other day (nearly had to run it). I was blessed with some lovely late light as a gap opened up in the clouds to the south as a snow flurry blew through. It was a pretty bitter wind.
I didn't manage to catch any falling droplets from the icicles in my previous photo (at least not with any degree of sharpness, since I didn't have my faster 50mm lens on), so here is one from last winter. I doubt we are going to have any more snow or ice this season, so there go my chances of trying this again!
... this is a different crop (a square crop that I love these days) and re-edit of a photo I'd posted last year....
Managed to find some Wild Garlic (ramslök if you're wondering what the Swedish name is) in an aptly named location called Wild garlic valley. Though I think I was there a tad too early and need to come back at the start of June instead as there wasn't too much on show. There were plenty of mosquitos though...

I managed some time to shoot for myself today. I have been wanting to visit the Burr Oak Woods Conservation Area for quite awhile now. When my friend and photographer, Michael Rosell, posted his image I knew that it was time to go. If you find your way out there, you will see this area is right at the main gate to the right. There is a very small parking area and a wooden fence. Make your way past the fence and up a very short trail to this grove. These trees feel like something out of Northern California.
These are actually Pine trees as well which is weird given the name of the park. I shot with my 24-105L, 85mm, and 50mm. There are quite a few different styles I chose to work with and I’m excited to hear which might be your favorite. I would encourage you to click on each one to get a further detailed look.
