Five ducks appear to be watching one in the water.

Had a chance to stroll around the inner harbour of Baltimore while attending a conference. It's fascinating seeing references to things you have only experienced in media and popular culture.

That path that we take defines us.
The branches we follow confines us.
The decisions we make binds us.
The people we follow blinds us.
But, until we reach the end,
the full story hasn't been written.
There is no song of our lives,
no ballad without edits or revision;
As we push forward
down that misty road that guides us.

Warnscale Beck is a scenic stream in the Lake District, UK, famous for the picturesque Warnscale Bothy and the stunning Buttermere Infinity Pool, accessible via routes from Buttermere or Honister, offering beautiful waterfall walks and mountain views, popular with hikers and wild swimmers.
Preferred this in black and white, using Silver Efex Pro 3 as a plugin in Photoshop. The late afternoon sun produced a nice shadow on the sand and highlighted the fence on the right.
RCA 0D3 voltage-regulator tube from an old power supply I bought many years ago. Unlike a regular vacuum tube, this device did not have a heater filament; it was filled with a gas which ionized at a certain voltage to pass current.
The shape of the glass envelope was nicknamed “Coke-bottle” for its resemblance to the iconic soft drink container.
I've been driving past this pile of tyres for a while, knowing that it would be good material for a daily photo, and now's the time!
We've been getting a lot of rain the past couple of days and it looks like we're only going to be getting more.
One of the iconic cereals of America is made in my hometown. This is an image I can actually smell as the Cheerios are being made early in the morning. This is about 5 minutes worth of exposure using my camera's Live Composite feature that stacks multiple exposures but only adds changes in the light to the final image.
The Gear: Olympus OM-D e-M1.2 with the m.Zuiko 25mm f1.2 lens and mounted on my Mefoto Globetrotter tripod - 25mm | f3.5 | 20s | ISO200.
Post-Processing: Initial RAW processing handled by DxO PhotoLab 4 then pushed to On1 Photo RAW 2021 for file prep prior to a roundtrip to Nik Silver Efex Pro for Mono Conversion and film emulation. I finished this one up by adding a LUT in On1 to tone it up.

Much of interior Alaska is covered by black spruce forests. They are shallow rooted trees well adapted to growing in permafrost and they can live for years. Amongst them you feel like you have landed in a Dr. Seuss book as they tend to lean, sprout gangly looking branches and sometimes, as in this photo, grow taller than anything else around them!
One from a run over Rannoch Moor back at the start of February. There was enough snow to make the world look interesting (and there's a fair amount flying about in the air down into the Glen). Mono conversion in Silver Efex

three single shots
Working through it slowly but surely. From January. This was the most brilliant sunset I've ever seen, although we've had some good ones the past month that I wasn't able to get out and photograph.
We had an early start to our tour of the Colosseum. Even at this time, it was impossible to get a shot without people in it.
Das fehlende Bindeglied

Tools: Aperture, Silver Efex Pro 2, Pixelmator.
Every project needs to include a layered image of two, right?

The Vizcaya Museum & Gardens in Miami, built by agricultural industrialist James Deering in 1916, is located right on the coast in Miami, and has a ‘stone barge’ placed in the water which acts as a breakwater and protection for the mansion. This stone barge is a work of art in itself, with a number of mermaids, at the bow and stern of the barge, and on top of the barge. It was created by American sculptor Alexander Stirling Calder between 1917 and 1919.
This shot has been taken during one of my sunrise sessions in Rosolina Mare (see my What a meaningful world... for information about that peculiar location).
In its conception this is a humble shot, just the first of a series of exposure bracketings to be stitched and blended into a panorama. Not enough spare time even to think of such an endeavour now - but I have realized that this shot could have a life of its own, so I have processed it and... here it is.
I was fascinated by the rampant, mighty, glowing cloud on the left - something like a rampart against the shadows of the night - and this "detail" of that sunrise puts it in the limelight. Hope that you will enjoy this view, my friends!
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.7/0/+1.7 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.
This is the headstock of my Martin D28. She's a fine old instrument, built in 1975 (I got her in 1980). She still has that unique Martin tone.
