Milky Way Galaxy ascending/emerging out of Blue Hour over putalina (Oyster Cove), the D'Entrecasteaux Channel and Bruny Island.
Made the most of lifting restrictions and clear, dark skies earlier this week. Drove down to putalina (Oyster Cove) for a sequence of frames of the MW as it was rising.
putalina has a dark place in the hearts of Tasmanian's indigenous peoples. It was at this place the few remaining survivors of the pre-anglo population spent their last days in a dilapidated convict station. Their children were also removed from them.
The land at putalina has been recently handed back to the descendants of the island's inhabitants and retains significant cultural value.
For indigenous peoples, the alignment of the MW in the south at this time of the year represents an emu, Australia's large and flightless bird. The Coalsack Nebula at the top of the frame represents the head of the emu and the dust lanes and dark patches leading to the horizon form the body.
In memory of our earliest inhabitants.

Not at full dark yet. Lights at bottom right are the ferry terminal on Bruny Is. and it's even possible to see the line of car headlights heading inland from the ferry.
Another shot from Polhawn Beach on Whitsand Bay, taken at one of our recent club photowalks. I've been playing with processing again and this shot has taken far longer to get right than I would expect, it's been a case of knowing what I want in my head but I couldn't quite get the colours I was after.
7DWF, Sundays: Fauna (yes, there's a horse!)
Sliders Sunday
For the time being my last one from my Good Friday visit to the Charlottenburg Palace. A heavy slide for Sunday, and an alibi horse for 7DWF's Fauna ;-). I did so much here that I don't even recall each step. At first I only wanted to bring out the details, enhance the clarity, increase the saturation a little, remove the noise from the sky. Then started to play around with those new LR presets, and all of a sudden the sky went from "normal" blue to turquoise. Still tweaked it a little here or there, and all of a sudden there was this vignette in the upper corners. Well. This was some sort of "processing by accident" ;-).
The equestrian statue was created between 1696 and 1703. The rider is Frederick William I. (1620-1688), Great Elector of Brandenburg (not to be mistaken for Frederick William I. of Prussia, the "Soldier King"). The name of the horse has, unfortunately, not been delivered to posterity. The Charlottenburg Palace itself was mainly built between 1695 and 1712. I don't want to bore you with more details, as it's Sunday. Please check Wikipedia, if interested, where you can find everything about the Palace in many languages: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlottenburg_Palace
Wishing you Happy Fauna, HSS and a beautiful Sunday, dear Flickr friends!
Erst einmal das letzte Foto des Karfreitagsspaziergangs am Schloss Charlottenburg. Ich bin sicher noch mal dort in diesem Jahr, wenn der Garten grüner und blumiger ist. Hier zu besichtigen: das viel fotografierte Schloss mit dem Reiterstandbild des Großen Kurfürsten Friedrich Wilhelm I. (von Brandenburg, 1620-1688; nicht zu verwechseln mit dem Preußenkönig Friedrich Wilhelm I., dem "Soldatenkönig"). Die Bearbeitung ist einer Reihe von Zufällen sowie wildem Herumprobieren geschuldet. Erst wollte ich gar nicht so viel machen, nur die üblichen Raw-Entwicklungsschritte, aber irgendwie kam eins zum anderen, plötzlich war der Himmel türkis, dann war auf einmal die Vignette oben da. Wie von Zauberhand. Na ja, nicht ganz, aber ich kann die einzelnen Schritte nicht mehr vollkommen nachvollziehen. Beim Himmel habe ich jdf. ganz bewusst viel Rauschen entfernt, da die kleine Lumix bei der Standard-ISO-Einstellung (200) doch ganz schön viel davon produziert. Hervorragende sachlich-natürliche Fotos von genau diesem Motiv gibt es auch genug, warum also nicht mal eine kleine psychedelische Spielerei ;-)
Habt einen schönen (Rest-)Sonntag, liebe Leute, und genießt die Sonne!

Another shot of the wave breaking tetorapoddo from Amakusa Japan.
I'm incredibly drawn to repeating shapes, especially when they create strong graphical lines. The coastlines around Japan are perfect for me, I only wish I had more time while I was there.
This shot was a 90 second exposure at f/11. Processed with Silver Efex Pro 2 from the Nik Collection and Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5.

Thank you for visiting my photostream.
2 exposure panorama taken from the chair lift at Mammoth Mountain.
The mountains looking East include San Joaquin, White Wing, Deer and Lookout Mountains. I believe that is the order in this picture from left to right but I can't find definitive proof on the Internet.
Thank you very much for the comments and faves.
Even with the clocks going forward and having an hour less sleep I still managed to prise myself out of bed in time to get to Hannafore Point for sunrise this morning; unfortunately there was not much in the way of cloud cover but it was still great to get out for the first time in ages.
Another taken whilst out and about with my grandson. I have wanted to take this for a while. I asked the security guy first, so that it was ok.
I wanted to try the new reflection removal tool in Photoshop. What a disappointment, that it can't be used on Leica DNG files. I tried a few ways of reducing the glare off the glass. Masking and using Dehaze in ACR. Also, the Polarisation filter in Colour Efex Pro 5 from the Nik collection. This is the result, using a combination of both.
Hopefully, Adobe will fix the in an update.
MV 'Laguna Bay' about depart from the Gulch at Bicheno, Tasmania. Smoke from a controlled burn somewhere to the west colouring the upper sky.
More from the Takumar 135/3.5 preset salvaged from the junkyard. Had some bad fungus front and rear along with a nasty scratch on the rear element but since CLA'd I'm not able to pick up any issues with it at all. Super sharp in the centre.

The tree of beauty that stood tall and had a beautiful back-lit glow from the blown out sun, i loved this moment of contrast and clarity, shot along the leeds to Liverpool canal on the Canon750D
Late afternoon and the usual suspects are hanging out at the Fish Landing berth in Mevagissey, Cornwall.
I just liked the light basically :-)

After the dissolution of the Eastern Bloc and the reunification of Germany, the building at Checkpoint Charlie became a tourist attraction.

A picturesque, wooded valley that flows into the River Wharfe. It was named after a severe storm in 1826 that uprooted trees and caused significant damage.Posforth Gill Waterfall: A waterfall located within the valley, which can be shallow and a bit tricky to find.

Looking north east from Lækjarvík on Route One into a raging storm over Álftafjördur and the long sandspit of Starmyrarfjörur. North of Höfn, South East Iceland.
Another from the 2015 archives. The archive digging over the last few weeks has really illustrated the importance to me of a number of things. 1) Getting exposure basically correct really helps. 2) Camera sophistication doesn't really matter that much so long as the shot is good (see 1). 3) Be patient with yourself when learning - if the shot speaks, don't give up.

Built to make a big impression, Little Moreton Hall was constructed during the Tudor period, with the earliest part of the house begun in around 1504 to 1508 and the latest addition being completed in 1610.
The Moreton family were wealthy landowners in the area and built the house as a symbol of their prosperity.

A wider view of Hafursfell (697m) from the eastern side, Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Iceland.
The true nature of the glaciated formation is evident here with the glacial arête of Þrihnúkar at the left rear with the jagged summit of Hafursfell itself to the right looming over the Þverdalur cirque in front of it.
Route 54 or Snæfellsnesvegur can be seen snaking westward past Samkomuh and Dalsmynni farms at the foot of the mountain. The Núpá River runs through a fold of land behind these two farms. I'm not able to find a name for the peak in sunlight.
I posted a tighter shot of the peak a while ago but I think this wider view is the new fave :-)
