Some description in addition: you never know what awaits you on another side of the world. Departing point from/to was a journey to the place which I intuitively chose and where I got a lesson of life. Probably, this choice was mutual in respect of the law of attraction. The lesson has been accepted, and I back home not the same as I was before...
At the grand old age of 40 something, I think I may well have cracked this public speaking malarkey! Usually dissolve in a puddle of nerves, but felt something weirdly close to enjoyment yesterday afternoon. How did that happen?
A quick stop off at the Point of Ayr lighthouse a couple of weeks ago. I was pretty uninspired until my models kindly posed for me 😁
I am on vacation this week and I've been itching to get out and take some pictures! I recently photographed a bridal shower so I wanted to give my 70-200 f2.8 a rest and pull out my trusted 10-20mm f3.5 from Sigma.
The weather is going to be subpar for photography the next few days and it has been a while since I've photographed the sunset. Thus, this evening at Sandy Point was where I was heading off to. I lucked out greatly with the clouds and I'm very pleased with how things came out.

Swanage, Dorset UK.
The Wellington clock tower is a structure that stands on the seafront at Swanage in Dorset, England. It was originally built by the Commissioners for Lighting the West Division of Southwark at the southern end of London Bridge in 1854. It was intended as a memorial to the recently deceased Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, though funds proved insufficient to provide a statue of the man at the top of the tower, as had been originally intended. It housed a clock with four faces that were illuminated from within and a small telegraph office. Within 10 years the structure was overshadowed by the construction of nearby railway structures and became an obstruction to traffic using the bridge. It was disassembled in 1867.
The structure was saved by the Swanage-based contractor George Burt and shipped back to his hometown, without the clock mechanism. He gifted it to fellow contractor Thomas Docwra who erected it in the grounds of his house at Peveril Point. Later owners removed the spire in 1904, though the structure remains a prominent landmark in the town and was granted grade II protection as a listed building in 1952.

A mosaic of 9 wide angle images were required to capture this scene.
It shows a fellow night sky photographer imaging the Milky Way, Zodiacal Light and Aurora, in the fantastically dark skies at Strathy Point.
Setting up for this one and a lady walked past... coffee in hand, enjoying the quiet and the moment, "Morning", was just a murmur. Fond memories of this place, years ago I did some alterations to the lighthouse.... 12 hour days... but good ones.
Met up with Adam Randell at Point Cartwright. We had hoped for a few more clouds but maybe next time. There are some amazing rock formations on the headland.
Ja, das ist er, der letzte Blick in die Berge. Mein eigentliches, das Grasköpfl, das wäre noch weiter, irgendwo da rechts oben, aber, wie gesagt, dem Hang rechts vor mir, dem habe ich nicht recht getraut. Was ich erreichen wollte, das habe ich erreicht: Sonne, frische Luft, eine Auszeit vom anstrengenden Verwandtschaftsbesuch 😉, ein wenig Sport, ein klein wenig Abenteuer und so manch schönes Foto.
Im Hintergrund, etwa in Bildmitte, das ist der Schafreuter, auch Schafreiter genannt (2.102 m).

A few of my pure graphite sticks, with a sneak peek of a pencil 😊
I love 'painting' with just carbon ... from pure carbon (charcoal) through pure graphite to pencils, which are softer as the graphite is mixed with some clay. You can get tones from the lightest bright dusting, to the pure light-absorbing charcoal ...more subtle than anything I can get with a camera!
This shot fills the whole 3" width.
For the Macro Monday challenge "carbon"
HMM! 😊

Bulb long exposure taken at sunset this past winter. Looking forward to more of these skies along the river and maybe some shots with a little snow too ;)
This lighthouse sits on the dunes of Lake Michigan on the northwestern shore of Michigan's lower peninsula.
I have finally found a technique, i.e., a series of steps, in Photoshop CC that simulates, or at least comes close to, the Orton Effect. I feel Michael Orton was right in that this effect is the best way to bring out the raw beauty in some scenes. In this instance I have even added an extra blue vignette to the upper corners.
