We went up to the Point hoping to photograph some seabirds but I hadn't realised there is a very photogenic old wreck on the beach. Best viewed in Lightbox.
Souter piont. After a really wet day yesterday the next morning looked quite promising for a sunrise photo. I decided to go to Souter Point, south end of Jackies beach, Whitburn, to see what I could conjure up. I'm lacking inspiration at the moment, so I struggled with a composition. Using the beach peebles as a lead in I've focus stacked to get the cliff in the background sharper.
The field at the rear of Berresfords Motors Cheddleton garage was a source of wonder. It was also an expensive place to visit with a film camera ... the only sort generally available in the era. Often visiting enthusiasts would have to additionally sign up to an agreement to forward copies of their photos, prior to being allowed in. One way to circumnavigate those requirements was to work for the firm ... though that was arguably more expensive in other ways.
Sadly Jim Berresford died in the April of 1987 and from that point on, tidying up and clearing out of redundant stock began in ernest.
Only fairly recently deposed at the time was this ex Maidstone & District Duple Commander IV bodied Leyland Leopard, VKN 627J. It had found a temporary home on the Cheddleton side of the field in which to await its fate, which wouldn't be long coming.
My recollections of 'VKN' weren't awfully glowing. It was a lacklustre permormer, even if it was reasonably reliable (some would say a typical Leopard!) It had tired rear springs which sometimes caused it to bottom out if the boot was loaded, and it had a killer power door which went to with such a force it's a wonder the body surrounding frame didn't fracture. The end came for the business, under PMT ownership, in September of 1987.

Norton Point in Edgartown is a great place to be at the end of a day of fishing. You get great views of the sun setting over Katama Bay and Edgartown, even when rendered as black & white.
Taken from the vault. One of my very early shots when our small group was still complete.
I hope I can take new photos this week.

This is such a small amusement park !
But, it is still ok to walk around and see kids playing.
In my case, I jog around here at night and I see a whole bunch of small lights, so I get some kinds of amusement feelings everyday.
夜にジョギングするようになって、海に向かって走るんだけど、
ミルソンズポイントの遊園地は夜はいつもきれいなんだよね。
小さいけど１０時まで開いてるから少し気分を味わえる。

This image was shot from the left hand side of the Zabriskie Point Overlook in Death Valley National Park. I wanted a different take on the location having mostly seen pictures that include Manly Beacon in their composition. So upon arriving before sunset, I plopped down my tripod and gave the area a once over for unique framing options. The textures in this particular area popped as the last bit of the sun’s rays danced over the tops of the formations.
I’ve been mulling over the concept of visual density recently. Surely, I’m not the originator of the concept but haven’t come across a definition so I’ll elaborate as I have come to understand it. Visual density is quality of perception. Each of us have our own tolerance level for how much visual information in a given scene we can process. Training or constant exposure to a larger volume of information allows someone to increase their visual density tolerance, consider how someone going into the FBI or law enforcement is trained to cut through all the varied visual stimuli to remember details. As a personal example, we are moving and were looking at new schools for my son Fane last week. While comparing the top two options, one of the things that came to mind was the structure of the classrooms in terms of visual information. One was full of color and literally drew the eye to the ceilings before you could hit a visual break. The other was more muted. The composition of shelving and toys was mostly wooden with nothing taped/tacked onto the walls. You visually stop at the waist as an adult. My wife and I made a decision based upon what we thought would be less distracting thus more conducive to concentration and learning. Another child might be able to process the plethora of information in the first school. So, individuals have unique tolerance levels.
As it applies to photography, black and white has less visual density than a like color image. Perhaps this is why so many architectural images are converted to black and white so the eye can move across and around without the added distraction. In this shot of Zabriskie Point, my first inclination was a black and white version that focused on the linear zig-zags of the formations. It didn’t come close to succeeding without the pull of color. Color in this case was necessary to the image’s visual density or the structure would fall apart. The eye didn’t know where to go. Maybe as a modern art expression this might work but certainly it would fail to convey the natural beauty of the scene.
La pointe du Millier est un cap situé sur la commune de Beuzec Cap Sizun, entre le pays de Douarnenez et le Cap-Sizun, situé à l'extrême ouest de la Bretagne, dont les falaises atteignent jusqu'à 70 mètres de hauteur. Cette pointe forme l'entrée de la baie de Douarnenez avec le cap de la Chèvre.
While in Barbados, Kristen and I rented a jeep for a day and drove around the island. We saw some incredible sites including the North Point, where we met two Bajan fisherman who were fishing off these cliffs. The north portion of Barbados is predominantly rural and the roads deemed as "highways" on the map were mere side streets. It was a day of adventure, and a lot of wrong turns.... Stay tuned for more shots from our Barbados road trip day!
This shot is ten frames stiched together. The fast moving clouds and ocean made it difficult to stitch everything together but I am quite happy with the final result. If you look closely you can spot Kristen above the cliffs just left of the center.
Enjoy your day!

I'm still not sure if the Point Reyes Checkerbloom is a distinct subspecies, or just a regular old checkerbloom. Either way, it's a heck of a pretty flower.

A row of assorted chairs lines the sidewalk outside the former SuperValu grocery store on West Lake Street in South Minneapolis. This commercial building, like many others along the corridor, was significantly impacted during the civil unrest in May 2020. The presence of these chairs suggests a temporary community gathering point or a memorial space in the aftermath of the events. Lake Street, a vital artery for commerce and community life in South Minneapolis, has been a focal point for rebuilding and remembrance efforts.
This image is part of a continuing series following the unrest and events in Minneapolis following the May 25th, 2020 murder of George Floyd.
