I spun the die many times before I got this shot, it wasn't easy to hold a camera and spin the die with your left hand all at the same time!
Clifton Beach is the start of an eight kilometer walk out to Cape Kidnappers headland. Not much surf along this stretch.
Still viewer, still scene.
Restless water intervenes.
Thus the image moves.
Ripples distort reflections and refractions in a shallow pond, while petals float in the shade.
Bright day gives way
To starry night.
Happy Mono Monday!

Long ago, the Land had it all.
She had four seasons, lovers,
and waves of emotion.
Now, she is pale and lacerated.
Crumpled by the hoof of time,
and tears of erosion.
Her core is charred in beige flesh.
Lost lust and love flutter in
alchemic commotion.
The land now idly breathes.
Hush… hear! She still is
stillness in motion!

PS: As an annual tradition that I refuse to let go, I have curated ten of my personal favorite 2024 images, which are borrowed from my cherished memories of the year. You could think of these images in the album as my private celebration of the year where you are warmly invited. Here’s the ode to 2024. Thank you for taking the time. Let me know if any of them remind you of any of your own 2024.
And for 2025, with all my heart, I wish you… Stillness in motion!

As we travelled west across the north coast we called very briefly at Sango Bay to snap some shots of this often photograhed rock formation surounded by a lively sea.
Rockhampton gardens, Queensland, Australia.
TIP 1: Don't have a tripod? use a rock or something stable.
TIP 2: Don't have a remote shutter? Use a 2 sec delay.
TIP 3: Always be prepared to get water on your camera. Its Ok, thats why you bought it :)
The theme for the week is candle. This is a half-second exposure. I got the effect by blowing out the candle after pushing the shutter button. I love the motion and smoke that resulted from my experiment. HMM!
I took my dad mackrel fishing as a birthday treat last weekend, it was a great trip but we couldnt find the mackrel shoals! Luckily for me i remembered to take my camera

took a nice long drive down to my cousin's grad party, thought a little video would help pass the time.
Speaking kind words starts a wave of love in motion
that brings more love upon your shores.

Thanks for views, faves and comments! ;-)
This was taken from my trip to New England last Fall. I basically placed my camera on the hand rail of the bridge for this long exposure. I think this is somewhere in New Hampshire as I remember it was a rainy day.
We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.

Back and forth, splish splash, perpetual motion, from long before me, and continuing long after I am gone along with my human worries.
Dusk at a lake I pass on a weekly basis, finally after years I found a little time to stop.
Crazy Tuesday - Liquid in Motion
A single drop of blue food colouring dripped from an ear dropper from a height of about 50cm into the centre of a little clear plastic cup filled to the brim with clear water. Then it is just a matter of timing……..

Dear all, I will find a moment during the day to visit your photo stream, have a good day!
For Macro Mondays.
This was a difficult challenge for me. I often use intentional motion blur but have never used it with a macro shot where the photo limitations must be no more than 3 ins. It took a lot of practice as I wanted there to be a recognisable subject too. I ended up with slowing the shutter speed right down and holding the camera still for some of the time before giving it a swirly movement.
What I love about using ICM is that I can never predict the result so have to take lots of images, knowing that the majority will be deleted, and look forward to the surprise ones that work for me. I realise that a lot of people do not enjoy looking at them in the same way as I do! In the end I had about 5 candidates to choose from and as usual find making decisions so very hard.
This is a floret of dried hydrangea petals so the subject is about an inch/2.5cm wide.
