Same location, same day, several minutes later...
I tried to find the spring between these trees. And I've found it as you see!
This is my third image from a dramatic winter sunrise in Santa Cruz, California. For this version of the scene, I composed a little outside of my comfort zone. Ignoring the standard rule of thirds composition, I decided to tilt the camera up to include more of the colorful sky. I kept the lens at a wide enough setting and waited for the tide to recede enough so I could also capture the reflected glow in the foreground.
One positive to bending the rules of composition, it can allow you to capture more versions of a scene, and for this particular scene I wanted to make sure that I preserved as many moments as possible.
I stayed at a hotel called Holiday Inn Jiuzhai Jarpo and they had balconies. I walked outside and saw this view. It was amazing!

Millstone on Curbar Edge .. Have done this Composition before, but i really like the light in this shot...Late November 2016 Curbar Edge , Peak District Derbyshire UK
I was riding my exercise bike by the window this morning, and I saw the morning light sparkling on the dewy grass, with the Japanese maple leaves fallen everywhere. I had to get off and run outside with my camera. This is SOOC.
More holiday photos to come tomorrow :)
This one of the shots we took yesterday. It was pretty cold and windy outside, but luckyly the sun came out for our shoot! It was so much fun shooting again, I really hope you like the result! :-)

Cogne, Aosta. Italy.
It's late October, and the first light of the morning already shines above the massif of Monte Grivola, and it is going to reach the village below.
The distant summit on the right is Monte Bianco, the highest mountain of the Alps.
Who has been hiking in this season knows the harsh contrast of light that there is on the mountains. I am really impressed by the Dynamic range that you can get from modern digital cameras.
This is a single RAW shot, exposed to preserve the highlights. And even the SOOC was not bad.

Thank You, so much, to everyone that has stopped in!
The Long Horse bridge between Sawley and Shardlow is virtually guaranteed to give you a great sunset sky if there is going to be one...and Sunday evenings one was pretty decent by most people's standards.
Thank you in advance to everyone that comments and/or faves my picture. They are all immensely appreciated.

It's a grand old metaphor.
The tree is old and straggly.
I'm old and straggly.
The tree has lost it's foliage.
I've lost my foliage.
The tree is standing alone in the middle of nowhere.
I'm standing alone in the middle of nowhere.
The tree has a big branch pointing skyward.
I have.........
And so the poor metaphor endeth.

Sorry I haven't been round to visit everyone. I'm slowly getting there.

Red Eyed Crocodile Skink. These lizards looks like a miniature crocodile rather than a species of skink. The body scales are rough, with three hard, spiky projections running along their back down to the tip of the tail. The eyes are unique with a red/orange ring around the eye socket and yellow in the corner of the eye.
Here I go again on my own .... as sang by Whitesnake ....
It was an uphill walk today ... nice views though . This first shot is looking across Dovestone Reservoir ...
It was my intent to post this for lonely bench Monday but I worked until midnight and turned around and started my week 6 hours later. I'm working very long hours Sat. and Sunday as well so what the heck, gotta get the Fall pics out there before the snow buries us all. :-)
The title was prompted by the fact that I have two shots that I LOVE of this bench, this one better reflects my mood though, the distance putting me away from the scene and also represents how I feel about missing out on you folks. I'm working next weekend too so pffft! I'll peek in as often as I can, meanwhile, happy Friday, hope all is well with you. :-)
Violets (Violas) are a genus of Spring flowering plants in the family Violaceae. [...] The word 'Violet' comes from the Latin name 'Viola'. [...].
True Violets have been known for centuries with the ancient Greeks cultivating them about 500 BC or earlier. Both the Greeks and the Romans used Violets for all sorts of things such as herbal remedies, wine ('Vinum Violatum'), to sweeten food and for festivals.
Über den Bahnhof meines Dörfchens schrieb ich schon (s.unten) . Hier gibts noch eine uncolorierte Version.
With the black & white image I'd taken at this point, I wanted to focus more on the tonal contrast of this setting on the banks of the Merced River. With a color image though, I wanted to bring out more of the vibrant colors I saw that late afternoon. And with the colors, it wasn't just so much in the different shades of green in the nearby trees; it was also the different colors and textures in the mountainsides. Looking to the left part of the image, one can see El Capitan with its rock face and the structure and feel in the mountainside. Off to the image right is the roaring waters of Bridalveil Fall with the nearby towering peaks of Cathedral Rocks. The whole setting is of colors and textures...and sounds of nature!

Thank you for your time and interest in my photoes, your visit is most appreciated.
Loch Clair at sunrise this morning was a wonderful place to be. The ever-stunning backdrop of Liathach was further enhanced by some great dawn light, colour and low cloud.

INDIEN, Khajuraho (Tempel)
Most Khajuraho temples were built between 950 and 1050 by the Chandela dynasty. Historical records note that the Khajuraho temple site had 85 temples by 12th century, spread over 20 square kilometers. Of these, only about 20 temples have survived, spread over 6 square kilometers. Of the various surviving temples, the Kandariya Mahadeva Temple is decorated with a profusion of sculptures with intricate details, symbolism and expressiveness of ancient Indian art
The Khajuraho temples feature a variety of art work, of which 10% is sexual or erotic art outside and inside the temples. Some of the temples that have two layers of walls have small erotic carvings on the outside of the inner wall. Some scholars suggest these to be tantric sexual practices.] Other scholars state that the erotic arts are part of Hindu tradition of treating kama as an essential and proper part of human life, and its symbolic or explicit display is common in Hindu temples. James McConnachie, in his history of the Kamasutra, describes the sexual-themed Khajuraho sculptures as "the apogee of erotic art":

Como estaré ausente un par de días , para que no me echeis de menos ;) y seguir siendo fiel a mi foto semanal os dejo la segunda de la sesión en La Arnia .
Esta un poco más complicada en cuanto a trabajo de composición debido a la profusión y solapado de elementos,pero bastante gratificante en cuanto a luces.
-TÉCNICA: Para esta toma usé en ND 64 y el inverso de HI TECH de dos pasos más unos segundos de black card para compensar un primer plano menos iluminado por la luz del sol que ya empezaba a ocultarse tras el acantilado de la parte trasera.Me alegra saber que algunos ya se han puesto a practicar con esta técnica y veo que con resultados más que buenos,así da gusto chic@s!!
Los datos exif los podreis encontrar en la WEB.
-COMPOSICIÓN: Aquí estuveron las mayores dificultades, todos los elementos que encontraba para primeros planos estaban muy pegados a los muros de roca que conforma la rasa y tuve que hacer verdaderos equilibrios para colocar el trípode y evitar solapados que enmarañaran la escena. Creo haber encontrado un equilibrio entre profundidad, triangulación de elementos y luz, espero vuestra opinión.
Los tonos cálidos y una luz tamizada por las nubes terminaron de adornar el conjunto.
-Edición: En el DPP de Canon ,corrección de horizonte y curvas.En el PS,contraste por zonas,capa saturación y ligero enfoque para la web.
A partir de hoy también podreis encontrar mis imágenes en linkingoo.
Hello everyone

Triangle Falls Glen Leigh Kitchen Creek Valley Cascade
Luzerne/Sullivan Counties, Northeastern Pennsylvania
Accessed via Pennsylvania Route 487 & the Waterfall Trail
Date taken: May 21, 2016
I visited an old friend--triangle falls--on a quick one day in-and-out trip up to Ricketts Glen, Pennsylvania this past weekend. After what has seemed an endless stream of rain for the mid-Atlantic this spring, I was rather surprised and somewhat disappointed to find the flow at Ricketts Glen to be rather low overall. There was not enough water coming over triangle falls to show the full veil and foreground triangle cascade even. It was still beautiful, however, with the spring greens showing their early season yellows and literally glowing in the photographs. This is a small cascade/waterfall on the Glen Leigh branch of the waterfall trail that takes visitors past a couple dozen named waterfalls over the course of six miles or so of trail.
