A trip to Carmel, California meant a visit to Point Lobos, and an attempt at some Edward Weston-inspired photos of the famous state park.
Mono version of a previous post and think I like it more for some reason - I think perhaps the lighting is what does it for me
Black Point Fissures. These deep, narrow cracks occur on the crest of Black Point, a volcanic cinder cone on the north side of Mono Lake. The cone was formed about 13,000 years ago during an eruption that began beneath Lake Russell, the Pleistocene ancestor of modern-day Mono Lake. These cracks are the result of rapid cooling of the volcanic rocks in the glacially-fed lake. Inyo National Forest. Near Lee Vining, Mono Co., Calif.
One from the archives that's benefited from better noise reduction technology than I had 2 yrs ago :)
Smile on Saturday theme for Dec. 17 is "vanishing point." This is the front entrance to the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, W.Va.
A little late for a cliff walk but the sky tonight over Stepper Point in North Cornwall was really dramatic and I thought might yield a thunderstorm. Alas it didn't but a nice evening anyway.
Fish! A long range shot, they didn't come any closer.
Many thanks to all who comment, fave or just enjoy looking, it really is very much appreciated!
Battery Point Lighthouse was built by the Chance Brothers of Smethwick for the Bristol Port Company in 1931. The Lighthouse is 30ft tall and constructed of a concrete base with a black metal pyramid, topped with a 4th order Fresnel lens which goes the lighthouse a range of 16 nautical miles/18 miles.
There are many places in National Park that are a must do if and when you visit the park. Just among the parks I visited, I can easily think of the following
1. Grand teton: Sunrise at Schwabacher Landing or any place where you can get a reflection of the peaks on the river
2. Yosemite: Sunset at Valley View or Tunnel view
3. Yellowstone: Morning/mid-day at the geysers to get their best colors
And just like that, one of the cliched must-do spots in Death Valley has been a sunrise shoot at Zabriskie Point. It has been done to death a million times by thousands of photographers, yet it magically draws you in with the promise of a spectacular sunrise (which usually never occurs).
Nevertheless, my last morning in Death Valley found me on the rim of the viewpoint, staring, along with others, at the beautiful vista all around. A few minutes before sunrise, the Belt of Venus appeared promptly, lending a lovely pink glow to the horizon, forming a correctly exposed backdrop to the photogenic sandstone formations.
This is my take on it, shot at 35mm at ISO 200, F14 at 1.3s exposure.

The lighthouse at Point Arena stands tall and proud on the Mendocino Coast in Northern California.
I used a KITE to fly the camera.
Taken on my visit to Gombe Stream National Park. This viewpoint is located mid-way up the escarpment seen rising on the left. To the right and a few hundred feet down is Lake Tanganyika. This very spot is where Dr. Goodall sat every day for about 6 months before she encountered her first chimpanzees. She could hear them in the forest. I was sent to train a couple of researchers stationed at Gombe where the chimpanzees were being monitored. I was giving instruction on how to identify internal parasites in the chimps as well as offer suggestions for their tiny electricity-less laboratory. This was part of a hands-off monitoring of these animal's overall health. Ascertaining the parasite loads and types were being evaluated to see if they correlated with disease or occult disease. The animals are monitored by trained trackers who know each animal individually. If any of the chimps showed signs of disease their feces could be collected and assayed for parasites. An increase or change in the numbers or types of organisms implies a challenge to their immune systems which could affect their overall health. Urine samples were collected from leaves in the morning after the chimps urinated upon waking up in their tree nests. This image was taken in February of 2005.

There are two or three runoff points for water from the Eucalyptus forested area which adjoin the rock shelf at Coal Point, Bruny Island. They make for extra colour where the lichens grow, and where the fallen strips of Eucalypt bark and leaves gather, complimenting the golden light on the neighbouring rocks. Grassy Point is in the background.
I was not familiar with this Bay area Icon until recently. While on a trip up to McClure's beach at Point Reyes National Seashore with Jean and Matt we spotted it and stopped to take some shots. We sky was heavily overcast and the light was pretty poor. I post-processed about 10 variations and had a very tough time settling on anything I really liked. I ended up with this single shot tone mapped image.
One of my favourite spots to photograph birds. They are acclimated to humans and I can get quite close. A regular.
