Just as I had promised! A shot with a deer!!! I really miss them now. haha Probably the first time I got touch a real live deer! One of them also had small horns which was totally awesome but he was a bit shy so I only got the chance to take a photo with this guy over at the photo.
I had to borrow someone else's tripod to shoot this because mine broke a leg.
I'll probably post some before/after or some behind the scenes photos in my facebook! :)
A few more years shall roll,
A few more seasons come;
And we shall be with those who rest,
Asleep within the tomb.
A few more storms shall beat
On this wild rocky shore;
And we shall be where tempests cease,
And surges swell no more!
A few more struggles here,
A few more partings o'er,
A few more toils, a few more tears,
And we shall weep no more!
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that blessed day;
Oh, wash me in Your precious blood,
And take my sins away.
Up, then, with speed, and work;
Fling ease and self away —
This is no time for you to sleep —
Up, watch, and work, and pray!
Saint Michaels Mount, Cornwall at sunrise. The receding tide reveals an old causeway that stretches from Marazion Beach to the Island.
This window made by members Ken and Juleen DeLeuuw (who made almost all of the stained glass at St. John's) Was the congregations gift to Pastor and Barbara.
Famous Jenne Farm at sunset like you have never seen. This is a 40 year study of all moods. 90% of photographers spend no more than 20 minutes here. This was intended to be a "parting shot" on our way home again. What a surprise.
I thought the sunrise was over when the sun went up behind a cloud but It's not over 'til it's over...and even then it's not over. As I was heading back to my car, the sun poked its head through the clouds for one last time :)
I recently lost my camera to a fall. A glove I had stuffed into a hand muff fell onto the ice and started to blow down the beach. The wind was strong and by the time I caught up with it I was several yards away from my setup. Too far, as it proved, to be away from a tripod on ice in heavy winds. I turned around just in time to helplessly watch it crash onto the frozen beach. The camera is beyond repair with a cracked body. My reaction to the blowing glove was knee-jerk and a hard lesson to learn. I had planned on getting a new camera but am sad to see the old one go. Aside from no longer being able to look forward to having a back-up, I don't mind saying I have grown attached, and a bit sentimental about it. Point Betsie is a favorite place to photograph and fitting place for it to have given up the ghost - an honorable death. So, this image, taken less than a minute before its demise is one of the last taken. I will miss it as much as I am looking forward to getting behind the expanded capabilities its replacement will possess.
I finally got a shot of departing Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) from a relatively dark site. It let me capture the ion tail, though no blue color in this image (other than the over-exposed blue-green coma).
This is the best thunderstorms ive seen from Aberdeenshire, and the timing couldn't have been better. This video capture was taken as the storms moved away north, what an incredible sight watching the lighting forking across the sunrise sky, never seen anything like it before. Normally I would prefer to shoot lightning using long exposures in darker skies, but it was the sunrise that made this storm a surreal experience, and worthy of a shot lightning or not.
Coming soon to a hotel room near you...
This shot will be featured on the cover of an upcoming publication that will fill hotel rooms all over the metro area. If I understand correctly, I'll also have the opposite side, as well as a few shots in between.. So if you're passing thru Dallas, look for it! ;)
The initial image was framed differently with less sky and a big ugly parking lot.. this crop is not final, but rather what I will be submitting to the publisher. I think they have the rule of thirds in mind for their final image...or that's the impression I got from a mock up I was shown... I'm just trying to allow/spare them maximum canvas with this particular crop.
Update: They decided to go with another one of my images for the cover. It looks like this will be the parting shot. I'll upload their cover choice next.

Fountain Place
1445 Ross - 1986
This unique skyscraper was designed by I.M. Pei and Partners who also designed One Dallas Center, Energy Plaza, and the Dallas City Hall. The building was once part of a three building development which included a twin tower and a hotel placed in a beautiful water park featuring many fountains. The second tower and the hotel were never constructed, but the fountains were completed.
The skyscraper is clad in green glass and is sculpted into a prism. One of the unique features is that it looks completely different as you view it from various locations in Downtown. Starting with a parallelogram in plan at the ground floor, upper stories are supported by two triangular shaped masses at the north and south corners. This configuration is present for the first five floors. Levels 6 through 13 are square in plan. At the 14th level, the area of wall between the face of the building and the angled base below starts sloping upward, allowing the parallelogram shaped tower to be visible. When the sloped glass wall ends at the corner of the structure, the tower section then starts sloping upward to form a ridge at the center. Fountain Place is 720 feet tall with 62 stories, making it the 5th tallest skyscraper in Dallas
Le musée Marmottan in Paris has a select collection watched over by both visitors and portraits. The measured and exercised 'kiss curl' was a fashion for portraits in a number of different rooms, reminding the viewer of mankind's desire to conform. Ceramic styles in prehistory show this desire to repeat in 'rooms' as big as today's countries, for example the bell beaker - campaniforme... The desire to conform does not stop differences - here above, a centre parting; in prehistoric pottery, let's say the Vénus de Gavà. And there is nothing strange or ahuman about seeing difference, as humans both conform ... and tolerate differences. Outside of the museum, the differences are everywhere, as the diversity of the world sees office and official capacity: the embassies of Monaco, Madagascar, Gabon, Belarus and Afghanistan all ringing a circle like kiss curls between a centre parting.

Horopito Motors, also known as "Smash Palace". Part working car mechanics, part museum. If you are into rusty and crusty (or want used car parts) it is a great place to spend several hours photographing!
"Parting Ways:" The term parting ways often carries with it a negative connotation. But in this image, I could see the trail path parting the sea of yellow flowers, leading my eye to the grand mountain beyond, and inviting me to venture closer. I saw the clouds parting ways for the tiniest crescent moon to peek through. I saw the sun parting ways with us to make for a colorful ending to the day. In these instances, sometimes parting is not such sweet sorrow.

I was just putting my usb cord safely in my purse and decided to see if there were any shots left in the camera. This was it. My last bird shot for a while. I thought it was perfectly fitting. haha
Moving day tomorrow. Cable guy scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. Whew!
We pause now for this brief interruption.
I've been meaning to incorporate animals into my images for quite some time now and was so excited to finally do so - I went to Pleasure Valley ranch in Uxbridge earlier this week for a creative shoot with actress and friend Tara Beier... We got to spend two hours with Ciara - a horse with the most gentle of souls. I hope to shoot more animals in the future :)
Back to Snowdonia for today's image. Took this on the last day of the trip and although we didn't get the light that we hoped for, was still a great couple of hours.
I'm having some trouble with my Alpa, which probably can be fixed but up to now, nobody managed to. This was one of the few somewhat acceptable shots on a whole roll of Ektar. I think now is the time to pass her on to someone who can give her what she needs. I must say too that I never warmed to the Alpa the way I warmed to the Contarex or the Leicaflex.

A parting shot. On the night of my first day at the cottage I saw the an idea of a compostion to use the waterfall with the eye going upwards to the path and the gate above but struggled to see how to get it, as the bank of the gorge was a little steep. On my last morning before we left I was taken a shot of the tree with the waterfall behind, I then set off back to the cottage as we had to depart by 10:0am. After walking about 200 yards down the hill something was nagging me about the shot I had just taken so I went back to look at the composition again. Getting down in a low position on the bank and turning the camera to portrait aspect, eureka I saw the composition I was after on the first night. I just about had myself and the tripod balanced, polariser for the reflection and ND grad to stop the sky burning out, f13, 5 seconds and bingo. I set of down again happy and content. I hope you like it.
After meeting for lunch in Osier, Cumbres & Toltec's two daily trains have departed for Chama and Antonito, respectively. Seen from the rear of the Antonito-bound train, K-36 #484 is seen heading for Chama with eight cars in tow.
