Start Point, South Hams, Devon.
I think this is my favourite shot from my recent trip to Start Point.
It was blowing a gale and I had to crouch over my camera to stop it being buffeted by the wind, I had to go for a low angle on the tripod to keep any movement to an absolute minimum. This was a 20 second exposure, I took about 20 shots just hoping that one would be in focus, I just about got lucky. I like the foreground interest with the wild flowers and the way the headland leads your eye to the lighthouse and the blurred skies, cant wait to go back again. Incidentally in between shots I was kept amused by a seal who seemed quite interested in what I was doing and kept coming up real close, a stunning place to be.
Thanks for looking.

Pigeon Point Lighthouse, Pescadero, CA
Postcard from my collection.
Description on back of the postcard:
Pacific Coastlands.
A field of pumpkins grows on the fertile marine terrace near Pigeon Point. Originally called La Punta De La Ballena (Whale Point), its name was later changed to commemorate the wreck of the American clipper ship Carrier Pigeon in 1853. The magnificent lighthouse has guided travelers between Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay since1872.

One of the downsides of a road trip during the fall and winter seasons is that daylight is short. So you have less time to spare at each vista point for photography. By the time I reached Badwater from the outskirt of Death Valley, the sun has already gone down behind Telescope and Wildrose Peaks. I only had a short time to find my own spot to take a long exposure photo of the salt flats. The clean looking ones with perfect hexagon patterns are way way out from the parking lot. In addition, traversing these salt flats during the twilight is quite hazardous as most of their crusts are pushed up from the thermal expansion during the day making it easy to trip people if they are not careful. To add to the challenge, there were quite a few photographers out there and they might walk into your frame. I remember I have wandered for almost half an hour just to find a decent spot to take the shot without anybody "photobombing" my subjects. I was a bit lucky to get this shot when a car passed by in the distance leaving a light trail.
I recently got back from a wonderful trip to New Brunswick. The main aim of the trip was to photograph fishing weirs. Despite that, I just couldn't resist photographing some lighthouses, including this lovely one on Campobello Island, so I'll start my postings from that trip with a short series of lighthouse images. It will take me a while to go through and process the weir images, so stay tuned for those!
Mulholland Point Lighthouse first went into operation in 1885. It overlooks the Lubec Narrows between New Brunswick (Canada) and Maine (United States). The land you see in the background is Maine and the boats you can see are in Lubec harbour, Maine, though the lighthouse itself is in Canada.

Couldn't sleep so i took the chance to go up to Stanage to catch the sun rise.
After checking the composition i finally stumbled on the Trig point, rather than the classic mill stones.
Found it hard to find compositions in these tank traps ....

Drove around aimlessly this cloudy morning before finally deciding to return "the old standby" at which point Mother Nature decided to offer me a little help... my work doesn't do her's justice
