Lovely to bump into Raven again at BNO last month. The pic on the right is from a night out with her at Leeds First Friday in 2015!
Here is the second of the images from the Marginal Way.
This is actually one of a series of long exposure bracketed shots that I used in a pretty over the top HDR a couple of years ago. In my mind I had decided that I wanted to get back to this spot and take a long exposure black and white but the tides have to be very specific to fill this channel here and I could never get the timing right. As I was going through images the other night I don't know what I was thinking, I already had the shot on my hard drive it just needed different processing...
This is just about the polar opposite of how I had it before and it kind of shows how my tastes have changed over the last couple years.
While processing this image I also feel justified now in having spent thousands of dollars on a 24-70 and 70-200 that covers the same ground as my old kit lens. I like this image a lot BUT at full size there is a tremendous difference in the sharpness and detail in the rocks between the 18-200 and the lenses that I use today.
Hope to be out to grab some new images soon. Maybe even some color!
Hope had nearly fled me when I saw some punk in a clown motif bringing groceries inside an apartment complex. An odd sight, even for Gotham. I made my way to the roof across the street and did some reconnaissance. It seems there was a whole nest of these turds living together. Being the new neighbor, I thought it was best to introduce myself.
One of the thugs went up on the roof for a smoke. I made my move, throwing him over the edge. I admit, I hesitated before firing off the grapnel.
"I don't know anythiiiinnnngg!!" It's funny, but you never get tired of hearing tough guys cry like babies. I gave a tug and his pants started coming down. Probably shouldn't drag this out.
"WHERE IS THE JOKER?!"
"I don't knooooowwww!!" I yanked the line again, letting him swing against the building, smashing his head into the brick.
"WHERE IS HE!!"
"I swear to God man I don't know!"
"SWEAR TO ME!" I let the line slack, dropping him another 15 feet before reeling him back up.
"I work for Harley, she.. she left here the other day.. haven't heard back since. Please that's all I know, let me down!" That was about all I was going to get from him.
I started pulling the sobbing baby up when the door behind me burst open. With my hands full I was unable to prevent his buddy from smashing me with a molotov cocktail. Flames consumed me, I cut the line and leapt over the edge myself, hoping the wind would fan out the flames. It didn't. With the cape out wide I tried to slow my descent but the cape had been torn first by the man eating plants, and again from the jagged glass of the school window. In a panic I fired a grapnel, which caught the ledge, but slammed me into the building. I landed with a hard roll and shed the remains of the cape. Staggering, I nearly tripped over the dead clown's body as I made my way to the Batmobile. I nearly died tonight because I wasn't prepared. I won't let that happen again.
I backed out with the Batmobile and glanced up, the molotov cocktail hadn't just hit me, but the apartment complex as well. The police can handle the remnants, I have work to do before facing Joker.

I nearly got chased by the owner of the business...asking me why I was taking photos. People are becoming rather paranoid these days.
Taken in Yellowstone National park in the Hayden Valley area the last week of June as this guy exited the river he had just swam across.
well i got bored in the end and started messing around with the make up then I changed into this outfit to go and walk the dog in the snow.
unlike me the dog is not stupid and refused to go out for a walk so it was just me didnt get far it was too blooming cold lol
The boys love going out at night to look for insects. Shot of Austin in the middle of our street shining a beam into some trees.
1xp *handheld* shot taken with my ever-impressive Sony NEX-7.

Tamsin informed me that she needs to get out more.
Giving the ADAD project a bit of a rest, but I'm missing the challenges already.

I wanted to try out a more simplistic look and opted for a horse eye portrait because its a classic of mine.
Recently, I've noticed that whenever I come across someone's photo on Flickr where they did not mention what species of flower/animal/creature something is I make it my mission to explore the internet to be able to identify the organism. I am such a dork.
It was the day i went out to Tigard to fill out paperwork to get my free sick leave because of COVID-19. Might have been my last day on the job site. The world seemed dirty and haggard.

It's been a rough week with Africa, the Middle East, Canada, New York City, Kathmandu and other places in the breaking news.
A tour bus crammed with 60 or more passengers overturned in Nepal. As I write, the casualty count is 12 deaths, many injured and some missing. Several young Israeli trekkers were on the bus as well. The probable cause of the accident was overloading.
As we head into the weekend, it seems like a good idea to pause, reflect and center ourselves. The view in the image is from one of the small communities in the Judean Hills near Jerusalem. And, there was a moderate boost in contrast and saturation here.
Happy Fence Friday!
