What's up everyone?!?! It's that time again! I've just completed another new releases gallery. The The Voices of Winter Gallery is the newest collection of images added to my website. I had a great time putting these images together. There's a lot of new images, some old ones that got a refresher, and some older images that I hadn't processed yet. All in all I'm happy how the images turned out together as a whole. Not particularly the most epic scenes, but the drama and mood was/is just as rewarding.
Now that this collection of images is now complete, I'm going to start focusing on a few other series of images. Lots of new images coming in the future! Life is good. Be well everyone, continue to inspire each other, shoot for yourself, look outside of the box. Peace and Love.

Many thanks for the visits, faves and comments. Cheers
...from a visit to Buckley's Hole, Bribie Island. (Buckley's Hole Conservation Park is situated in the south-west corner of Bribie Island, the northern-most sand island in Moreton Bay, some 50 kilometres north of Brisbane. The park covers an area of 87.7 hectares and contains a freshwater lagoon, woodland, open forest and beach. It is this diversity of habitat that has led to such a large number of bird species being recorded in this small area, the present total standing at 270.)
Pacific Black Duck(ling)
Scientific Name: Anas superciliosa
Description: The Pacific Black Duck is mostly mid-brown in colour, with each feather edged buff. The head pattern is characteristic, with a dark brown line through the eye, bordered with cream above and below and a dark brown crown. The upper wing colour is the same as the back, with a bright glossy green patch in the secondary flight feathers. The white underwing is conspicuous in flight. Young Pacific Black Ducks are similar to the adults in plumage.
Similar species: The Pacific Black Duck is closely related to the Mallard, A. platyrhynchos, introduced into Australia from the Northern Hemisphere. The two species are very similar in habits and occupy the same niche in the two regions. The two species will interbreed in situations where Mallards have been released.
Distribution: The Pacific Black Duck is found in all but the most arid regions of Australia. Outside Australia, its range extends throughout the Pacific region.
Habitat: The Pacific Black Duck is one of the most versatile of the Australian ducks. It frequents all types of water, from isolated forest pools to tidal mudflats. Pacific Black Ducks are usually seen in pairs or small flocks and readily mix with other ducks. In the wild, birds are often very wary of humans and seldom allow close approach. Birds in urban ponds become quite tame, however.
Feeding: The Pacific Black Duck is mainly vegetarian, feeding on seeds of aquatic plants. This diet is supplemented with small crustaceans, molluscs and aquatic insects. Food is obtained by 'dabbling', where the bird plunges its head and neck underwater and upends, raising its rear end vertically out of the water. Occasionally, food is sought on land in damp grassy areas.
Breeding: Mating in Pacific Black Ducks coincides with availability of sufficient food and water, and often with the onset of heavy rains or when waterways are at their peaks. Courtship is accompanied by ritualised displays including preening, bobbing and wing-flapping. This behaviour is often initiated by the female, and, other than copulation, the male helps little in the breeding process. Often, two broods will be raised in a year. The number of offspring produced may seem quite high, but only 20% of these will survive past two years of age.
Minimum Size: 50cm
Maximum Size: 60cm
Average size: 55cm
Breeding season: Highly variable
Clutch Size: 16

Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah.
Bryce Canyon National Park, a sprawling reserve in southern Utah, is known for its crimson-colored hoodoos, or spire-shaped rock formations. The park’s main road leads past the expansive Bryce Amphitheater, a hoodoo-filled depression lying below the Rim Trail hiking path. It has overlooks at Sunrise Point, Sunset Point, Inspiration Point and Bryce Point. Prime viewing times are around sunup and sundown.

one year ago today, i decided to start a 365 project. i went outside in the wet and cold, put my camera on a car, set the timer, and posed. a remote, 2 tripods (one broke :( ), a 50mm 1.8 lens, a film camera, and a fujifilm instax, here i am. taking a picture a day was so much harder than i thought it would be, but i did it! some days i cheated and posted an old picture, and some days i didn't try at all, but i still had one picture a day for a year.
i really really want to thank anyone who has ever commented/faved/written me a testimonial. they mean so much. i can't believe i've come this far and very much appreciate the support i've gotten.
this may not be my most amazing photo but i'm proud of it.
if you read all that, thank you :)
I stopped off here on the way home after work hoping to catch a good sunset. However, the clouds were not in the right place so I took this shot instead. Long exposure of 40 seconds with 10 stop ND filter attached to 10-22mm lens.
A ver si me pongo las pilas, y voy subiendo fotos.
Gracias a todos por vuestras visitas y comentarios.

Fall at Ellery Lake on the eastern side of the Sierras just outside of Yosemite National Park. One of my most favorite lakes to shoot anytime of year, I just love this angle.
A lovely pink 'Rose' 'Rosa' bloom. after a night of rain..
HPPT.. have a splendid day.. thanks for any comments left..
I know, you're asking yourself, how many sunsets over sailboats shots does he have..;) Not very many more..:) Actually, I was working on another image when I realized there was a bench it the image...I know you're smiling..;)
Tomorrow, I have to wake up at 5 so I can take my friend to the airport. I already set my alarm clock so it's all good.
Early morning light at a magical beaver pond we visited in the Eastern Sierra mountains recently....

I hope I am not overloading anyone with Canadian Rockies .. I know.. i know.. this place has been shot a billion times.. but I do love it so I did what the heart wanted and photographed it for me ! In case you have not seen this it is the iconic Lake Louise outside Banff National Park.
The top of the rock is covered in native NZ cabbage trees, time must have swept the seeds up there. An amazing place to visit and capture. The landscape is full of of rolling hills and rocky outcrops. A photographer friend and I were treated to an incredible sunset as well on the evening we decided to visit.

Arholma is an island in the north eastern part of the Stockholm archipelago in Norrtälje Municipality. Arholma has about 60 permanent residents. But like so many other island outside Stockholm, it gets an influx of residents in the summer raising the number of residents to 500.
Arholma Båk is a sea mark built 1768 and can be seen from around 15 nautical miles.
Cold but dry weather for a little walk around the Obersee in the Bielefeld area.
The Obersee is an artificial lake outside the city of Bielefeld in East Westphalia. The local folks love the place and especially throughout weekends it is great fun to have a walk around the water.
Not the Carpenters or Earth, Wind & Fire but Great Britain's National Bird, the Robin. This gorgeous Robin wasn't half belting out a tune to rival, or even better, any chart topper at RSPB Old Moor the other day.
The Robin is one of the few birds in the UK that sing all year round. This is due to the importance of holding winter territories. Only for a short period in late summer while they are moulting and inconspicuous do they stop singing. Both sexes sing.
Autumn and spring songs are distinctly different. The autumn song starts after the moult, from late summer onwards. It is more subdued and melancholy in its tone, while the spring song is powerful, confident and upbeat.
The spring song can start as early as mid-December, reaching full force in spring. Its purpose is two-fold: to defend a territory and to attract a mate. Therefore, the spring song is far more powerful in males.

Taken outside Guymon Oklahoma on May 31'st, this was the third and last image I have of this lightning storm striking the ground. It was an incredible experience being able to watch such a fierce previously tornadic storm such as this, without being rained or hailed on whatsoever.
…and it was indeed dumping larger than golf ball sized hail when I shot this... but only off in the distance under the cell.

Shot on a snow shoe hike on the mountain called "Wildkogel" in Austria. This was a very fast and unplanned snapshot! I really liked the shadow silhouettes in the foreground so I had to quickly unpack my camera and shoot! Can you spot me?

I had been getting a little impatient from the weather--warm, hazy, no clouds--for a few weeks and when I saw there was a forecast for partly cloudy this past Tuesday, I made the drive to Venice and set up. It was hazier than I wanted, but I was able to try some new shots. This is a 40 second exposure as the sun continued to dip out of sight over the horizon and gave me the great shadows and focused reflection above.
