Fifth pocket on a pair of five pocket blue genes. The small fifth pocket was originally intended for a pocket watch but almost no one carries a pocket watch these days and few even wear a traditional wristwatch. This small bit of obsolescence is for the Crazy Tuesday Group, challenge, Outdated.

Happy Crazy Tuesday!

Old pocket watch from my grandfather

Theme vintage: 19th Century Silver Pocket Watch opened up. PQ 20 Nov 22. Measured approx 1.25 inches across scene diagonally from top left to bottom right

This photo was shot in White Pocket in a morning. The sun light was cast on a rock formation that was reflected in a water pocket, a typical scene of White Pocket.

Here, I put the watch on a shiny red tile using Blu Tack to hold it in place. The edge of the tile is visible but out of focus at the bottom of the image allowing the reflection of the watch to fade away. The background blackout blind is independently lit with a softbox. Post-editing: softglow and removal of visible Blu Tack

The original point and shoot… f 8 and be there.

Shooting sunsets in California means being ready for the light to explode in any direction. On the trip to Death Valley, the best color was usually to the North or South at sunset. I had picked this spot to have ready just in case the color was to the north, and was it ever!

only got my pocket camera at the moment but still manage the odd good shot with it--this is mum swan with 8 cygnets on her back today along the canal in stockton heath

If you get out your map of Arizona and look up north along the Utah border for the biggest open area, with no development, then put your finger in the middle of that space, you’ll find the remote and unspoiled 280,000-acre Vermillion Cliffs National Monument. 490 square miles of geologic treasure, with some of the most spectacular trails and views in the world. If you look very closely, you’ll find White Pocket. A unique landscape like no other on Earth. It’s 35 miles on rough dirt and sand roads from the highway, should take you about an hour and a half in your four-wheel drive. It’s an astoundingly wondrous place.

HSS... are we ready for the 4th of july??

🇬🇧 Well, we start with the first photo of the recent trip to the West Coast of the United States with Felipe, Paco and Delfin.

This photo is the first contact we had there, it was an afternoon when the sun was shining, I was exploring many sites, it was not easy to choose because they were all good. The case that little by little and without predicting it well (because I didn't look too much at the sky) clouds and good light suddenly appeared, but only in certain directions, so I had to act fast and look for compositions, I omitted the tripod raising a little the ISO to work faster and this was the photo I took.

🇪🇸 Pues empezamos con la primera foto del reciente viaje a La Costa Oeste de Estados Unidos junto a @felipesoutophoto , @pacofernandezalmeria y @delfingarcia60

Un buen sitio para elegir una foto era White Pocket, después de estar dos días casi enteros allí, os podréis imaginar que las tarjetas SD llegaron a rebosar.

Esta foto es el del primer contacto que tuvimos allí, era una tarde que pegaba bien el sol, estuve explorando numerosos sitios, no era fácil elegir porque todos eran buenos . El caso que poco a poco y sin predecirlo bien (porque no miré demasiado al cielo) aparecieron nubes y buena luz de repente, pero solo en ciertas direcciones, así que hubo que actuar rápido y buscar compos, omití el trípode subiendo un pelín la ISO para trabajar mas rápido y esta fue la foto que saqué.

That's no moon!

White Pocket

Vermilion Cliffs National Monument

Arizona

March 2025

White Pocket, tucked within Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in northern Arizona, is a hidden gem of swirling sandstone, otherworldly rock formations, and vibrant colors. Its landscape—a mesmerizing blend of white, red, and orange sandstone—has been sculpted into domes, ridges, and brain-like textures over time. Adventurers are drawn to its alien beauty, where each turn reveals a new geological marvel. Its remote isolation enhances the mystique.

VIA train #74 rips through Appin, Ontario near Glencoe with FPA4 6788 leading a pocket streamliner consist. Seen here passing the old stock pens that had seen service not too long before on September 14, 1986.

I hadn't visited this area for six years. Glad I finally made it back. Kinda tough spot to get to, but worth the effort, especially after rains create these great puddles for reflections.

Panorama at White Pocket, Arizona. 10 images, 14 mm, f 2.0, 25 sec., ISO 12,800. I think this might be my first pano of the MW Arch in August. Typically I find the MW is too high to get onto a single row Pano by that time of year. Somehow I was able to fit the whole sweep of the MW onto a vertical 14 mm Pano. You can tell it is getting late in the MW season because the core has set relatively quickly during the night. There is still plenty on MW to see though! Note the Andromada Galaxy near the top of the frame, above the Milky Way, to the right.

Thanks for all the kind support! Hope you enjoy! A big thank you to the wonderful Flickr family. It's a pleasure to post here.

The awesome White pocket, Arizona

On the remote Paria Plateau in Arizona's Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, White Pocket is a group of swirling, multicolored formations of Navajo sandstone, including domes, hoodoos, gullies and potholes. Arriving at White Pocket inside Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, you are initially struck by the contrast of white rock in smoothly rounded mounds and cliff edges, dotted with two imperial looking spherical beehives rock cones

buenos dias.

I'm broke but I'm happy, I'm poor but I'm kind

I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah

I'm high but I'm grounded, I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed

I'm lost but I'm hopeful, baby

What it all comes down to

Is that everything's gonna be fine, fine, fine

'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is giving a high five

I feel drunk but I'm sober, I'm young and I'm underpaid

I'm tired but I'm working, yeah

I care but I'm restless, I'm here but I'm really gone

I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby

What it all comes down to

Is that everything is going to be quite alright

'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is flicking a cigarette

What it all comes down to

Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet

'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is giving a peace sign

I'm free but I'm focused, I'm green but I'm wise

I'm hard but I'm friendly, baby

I'm sad but I'm laughing, I'm brave but I'm chicken shit

I'm sick but I'm pretty baby

And what it all boils down to

Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet

I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is playing the piano

And what it all comes down to, my friends, yeah

Is that everything is just fine fine fine

I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is hailing a taxi cab

Took a road trip out east after work yesterday, dodging storms on unmaintained, County Roads looking for pockets of light. I can't tell you how much of a muse this little flying camera has been. It opens up a 4th dimension to my composition, which allows me to see everything in a completely new and exciting way. I have a z axis now...

On Saturday I made the long drive from the Grand Canyon to find clear skies in Nevada for the Geminids meteor shower. I picked a remote location called Little Finland but underestimated the time it would take to get there, thankfully on the way was this location called Whitney Pockets. After a fantastic sunset and rainbows from the clearing storm I set up for my long night of shooting. I setup both the Fuji XT-1 and the X-E1, I ended up catching a lot more meteors with the X-E1 facing East in the early evening. Fortunately it was a beautiful calm night and I was able to lay outside in my sleeping bag watching the meteors for several hours before I dozed off.

In all I captured 24 meteors, I composited them all into one shot and corrected their rotation to match the radiant of the background image. Taken with a Rokinon 12mm f/2 at f/2 ISO 6400, 25s when the moon was down, and 15s when the moon rose. For the forgeground I used one light painted exposure.

As close as i can get

White Pocket is a little area hidden in the Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. Despite being a small area it offers a variety of compositions that cannot be fully explored with a single trip there. Besides, each visit to the area offers quite different light and weather conditions which makes each visit a unique experience. For further information about White Pocket I recommend reading my travelogue.

Interested in a photo tour through the American Southwest? I can help you with it and make you come back with unique shots.
