I managed to get to my local lake after work just as the sky lit up. The partly burned log, after the water level had dropped, looked almost primordial.
Because it sounds so much better than pond scum. Shooting the wetlands around the bay, I often find these shots of different types and colors of algae. From my Primordial Soup collection.

On my last trip to Hocking Hills I returned to one of my favorite places in Ohio. Though the journey here is not without challenge, the payoff is a place of nearly undisturbed primordial beauty. The recent rains had me hoping that there would be more water on this visit, and though there wasn't it just means that I'll have to come back. Which is fine with me.
Very pleased that my image โPrimordialโ is one of the winners in this yearโs European Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. The image was shot from a kayak on a misty morning on one of the bayous of Louisiana last year, and Iโm looking forward to our next visit there in just three days time.
We are currently setting up the worldโs first Cypress Trees By Kayak photo tour in Louisiana and Texas, so if you would like to join us in October/November 2016 to photograph these amazing trees and swampscapes on a thrilling kayak adventure, drop us an email and weโll put your name on the list. Frequent flyers on our tours (Squiverati) have priority. More details later!

There is no doubt that Mirit Ben Nun s art derives, like a refreshing meteor in our skies, from that very source into our over- saturated art of photographic images and messages. As a self-taught artist, she grew outside of the lubricated system of art academies and does not suffer from the search for meaning. Her paintings burst out from within her as a primordial need to provoke the canvas, to attack it with an unstoppable obsession that leaves no corner hiding. The need to self- express does not stop but wants to continue and flow with her spiritual storm - perhaps to silence the demons within.

The first time I saw this waterfall tucked away in Kentuckyโs Daniel Boone National Forest I was standing with my good friend Chris Morris 40 ft above it on a cliff along the slot canyon that leads to it. That very spot was also where I met McCreary County explorer and regional arch expert Mervin Wood for the first time. Bright sun on that visit just had us out exploring without our camera equipment. That was over a year ago. Recently I finally got to visit this beauty from below with the guidance of good friend Greg Davis. Requiring a fairly easy scramble down the cliff and fighting some thick rhododendrons we were able to make it to the wataershed and creekwalk our way to the waterfall. This place is amazing as one stands beneath the high cliff walls, you get the sense you've been transported back in time to a primordial place rarely seen by others. Though I didn't get to spend as much time here as I wanted due to waning late evening light, I look forward to returning in the near future after a good rain!
Abnormality is back again with a REALLY COOL theme! I'm sooo excited โฅ

Just re-processing an oldie from Jan 2013, using Nik Efex. I recently lost all my RAWs so only have processed jpgs as a starting point, but finding a few tweaks are in order using Nik Efex.
Details missing from the EXIF: Sigma 10-20 on the Pentax K5. 148 sec at f/11, ISO 80. Single exposure.
Hope you like this one!
David Hull inspired, kitchen based, deep space exploration tonight. All shot during a long exposure in complete darkness.
I fashioned a new cardboard diorama with a smaller planet which I was keen to pair with some lenslessness.
Led lenser covered in tinfoil with a tiny pin hole pointing at a glass, about 2 meters away. No lens on my camera and positioned a wine glass bottom until happy with the pattern shown in live view. 2 seconds of exposure and placed the 50mm Samyang on the camera and swapped tripods for the planet part. Lit from behind with the www.lightpaintingbrushes.com colour filters and hoods. One torch with orange and the other two with a purple and a blue for the stars.
Minor faffings in light room and there you go.

Primordial Soul
She is reborn from the ashes
She is a warrior, she is strong
Nothing could ever stop her
She is fierce, she's a deadly force.
Light and darkness are within her
Ancient wisdom, primordial soul
Through the firmament burning brightly
She is the Universe, she is all.

The series which I'm closing today has been about the essential elements and about how us, the human species have been using them since primordial times. From the rudimentary economic activities of gathering and hunting, humankind has moved to using the natural elements in increasingly more complex combinations. In this process markets have served to facilitate exchanges and improve the overall efficiency of production and consumption. In parallel ever more sophisticated infrastructures have been set up to respond to the human needs. Huge water reservoirs started to be built in the rising urban concentrations since about 2000 years ago. In modern societies it has become central the need to develop powerful energy infrastructures. Throughout human history the diversification of energy sources has allowed to substitute and augment human labour. Some of the main transformations brought by the industrial revolution were precisely connected to this process of finding new energy sources. Today the pressure of rising consumption worldwide together with global warming of at least 2C until 2050 has placed the search for new energy technologies as a central challenge. The planet resilience has limits. Will we be able to find a regeneration path?
I've been on the fence for a long time about posting this. I came upon this scene while exploring a dry side channel to the river during the low late Summer water levels. It was like the carpet of algae was just draped over the rocks.
Just before sunrise at Whittington Beach Park on the gorgeous windward coast of the big island of Hawai'i. This spot is on the eastern shore near the southern tip of the island.
I drove 2+ hours around the island, got lost in the dark, dealt with a rainstorm, etc...but found this place just before sunrise and it was beautiful.
Lens is the DA21 Limited on the K3II. This is a 2 exposure manual blend and the actual exposure of the water is 4 secs.
Thanks for looking!

Primordial (adj.) - Latin, "first of all, original". A large planter filled with water became covered with a sheet of algae. When I poured the water out, the algae draped over the bedraggled remains of the planter's shrub, trapping bubbles. The late afternoon light, filtered through these agglutinous films, presented a most peculiar aspect. I imagine it as the dawn of life, with primitive unicellular creatures emerging from the primordial ooze and creeping towards the sun...
Detail of a small hot spring in Yellowstone. With the steamy hot vapors filled with earth smells and brimstone blowing around I couldn't help but wonder how many times such a scene played out when our planet was young. Park County, Wyoming.

School starts tomorrow, ugh. I'm dreading it so much. I hate my school, and I'm ready to leave this godforsaken town now.
You can see the outline of my house in the bubble, haha.
Explored
This shot was a total accident. I was exposing in the opposite direction when I noticed the moon dropping behind the clouds. I hastily composed and clicked while Mother Nature and Sean did the rest..."spray and pray" at night. ;-)
