After a long day at work I was looking forward to sitting down and resting some while processing some of the weekend sunset captures ... especially on this rainy day in Maryland when I noticed some spotty sunlight around 7:30 this evening. I debated for several minutes if I wanted to head somewhere ... and was about to say no ... when Ms. Krach came home from dinner with a friend and told me to head down and see my dad ... and see what happens.
Glad I listened to her and headed down. As the sunlight was coming through the clouds I could not get through the traffic quick enough (people seem to drive always really SLOW in front of me when near sunset ;))
In any case I made it down to Middle River about 15 minutes before sunset ... and was snapping off some under the pier captures as the tide was really LOW and there was a pretty nice beach there, was when I noticed the incredible rainbow there. Snapped some from the beach, and will process them hopefully tomorrow after work ... but here is the view I took from out on the pier next to my Dad's pier that gives a nice view of the end of Wilson Point. Just happened to be Under the Rainbow perfectly there. Ms. Krach can be right 'every once in a while' ... heck, who am I kidding, she is ALWAYS RIGHT :))
This was captured with the 6 Stop ND to slow the shutter down for around 8 seconds, smoothing out the reflection just a little ... if you look close the sprinkling of rain that was happening while shooting this (and hence the rainbow) can be seen hitting the water making all the small rippled circles there in the extending exposure. Pretty cool effect.
Located in the Furnace Creek area of Death Valley and part of the Amargosa Range, Zabriskie Point is a rugged land that has been sculpted by wind and rain over many years.
Here I am, back at my favorite sunset spot in Harpswell, Maine. It was one of those evenings when I was trying to decide if I should continue to wait. I did wait and got this scene. A bonus was there were very few biting insects.
This was probably taken a year ago. It is an american gated community on Canadian soil. Go figure. You must get permission at the gate to go to the lighthouse on foot or bike. I have been wanting for years to see this. It is fabulous. You can see Buffalo from this spot, albeit not in this image.
Take care my friendly Flickeroos.
We love the Sunshine Coast as it has long stretches of beautiful beaches. That bulk carrier offshore was waiting for the pilot to guide it into the Port of Brisbane, while the lifeguards were completing their afternoon training session in the surf, and we were waiting till it was time to go to our seafood restaurant for the evening.
This elevated viewpoint at 6433' is accessible by a high-clearance vehicle and offers dramatic views of Death Valley.
A quick stroll (about halfway out and back) on a cold night.
T. Tyler Potterfield Memorial Bridge; an approximately 1/3 mile-long pedestrian bridge stretches over the James River in Richmond, VA. The bridge is built on the remains of a 116 year-old hydroelectric dam/levee. The dam helped to fuel the turbines that drove one of the earliest street car systems in the United States
Brickyard Point is the rock shelf just north of Austinmer. The headland in the background is Bells Point. A rising tide and a 1.5m swell gave these consistent waterfalls into the channel. Lots of time to work on different comps which is unusual.

POINT OF AYRE
ILE DE MAN
The main light at Point of Ayre was established in 1818, but some 70 years later it was found necessary to build an additional small light tower some 250 yards seaward from the main tower. Due to continuous gravel build-up, this tower moved a further 250ft seaward in 1951, and now stands out on the gravel bank. This light is referred to as the "Winkie".
Le phare principal de Point of Ayre a été établi en 1818, mais quelque 70 ans plus tard, il a été jugé nécessaire de construire une petite tour de phare supplémentaire à environ 250 mètres au large de la tour principale. En raison de l'accumulation continue de gravier, cette tour s'est déplacée de 250 pieds supplémentaires vers la mer en 1951 et se distingue maintenant sur le banc de gravier. Cette lumière est appelée "Winkie".
One of the shots I wanted to make sure I captured of these tribute units was at the classic elevator in Reed Point. Not a bad vantage point.
Did another processing on this picture/view. The first one's a little bit on the harsher side of hdr. Happy Friday!

Taken from the South West Coast path looking across Tregirls beach towards Hawkers Cove, just as the early morning mist was starting to clear. Through the mist you can just make out the white coast watch station and the Stepper Point daymark, which is where we eventually ended up.
