Just thought I'd let you know that the BBC has published an article on my photography on their "Get Creative" arts magazine website. They chose the image above as one to spotlight, I originally posted it a long time ago, so I thought I'd use this as an excuse to resurrect it again.
The Article: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5wWbzZZ93H73HkkHhTl8Yp3...
This was my first ever attempt at macro photography.
For those of you who think the bug was dead, here's the next photo when it wandered off during the exposure:

The farmhouse Poggio Amorelli owned by the couple Adriana and Marco Mazzarrini is located in one of the most beautiful area in Chianti, near to the village of Castellina in Chianti and one of part of the wineyards are also in Maremma, near the village of Magliana in Tuscany.
It embraces 40 hectars land; 15 hectars of wineyard specialized in the production of Chianti Classico DOCG, Gallo Nero and of Morellino di Scansano DOCG.
The Wine production started in 1987, but only in 1995, with the restoration of the wine cellar and with the change in equipments for the wine production, the products started in receiving awards for its quality.
The wines are sold both on the national market as also in foreign countries, majority in Germany and USA. The aim of the Mazzarrini family is to grow in quality and not in quantity, to maintain the characteristics and the management of the family owned company, the only peculiarity to be different in a global market that push towards uniformity of traditions and tastes.

Canterbury is a historic English cathedral city and UNESCO World Heritage Site, situated in the heart of the City of Canterbury, a local government district of Kent, England. It lies on the River Stour.
Canterbury is a popular tourist destination: consistently one of the most-visited cities in the United Kingdom, the city's economy is heavily reliant upon tourism. The city has been occupied since Paleolithic times and served as the capital of the Celtic Cantiaci and Jute Kingdom of Kent. Many historical structures fill the area, including a city wall founded in Roman times and rebuilt in the 14th century, the ruins of St Augustine's Abbey and a Norman castle, and the oldest extant school in the world, the King's School. Modern additions include the Marlowe Theatre and the St Lawrence Ground, home of the Kent County Cricket Club. There is also a substantial student population, brought about by the presence of the University of Kent, Canterbury Christ Church University, the University for the Creative Arts, and the Girne American University Canterbury campus. Canterbury remains, however, a small city in terms of geographical size and population, when compared with other British cities.

... another light painting image. I’ve wanted to try the book thing for a while but haven’t had an opportunity to set the shot up. This week’s theme was perfect and I ended up capturing some hearts in the light too. Happy Valentine’s Day to you all.

Theme: Song Title
Time, a song by Pink Floyd.
The fourth song from the album “The dark side of the moon”.
Time
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.
Hey flickr-friends, I don't usually publish the milestones, but with this photo I will reach 5 million views on flickr with my portfolio and I'd just like to use the moment to thank all of you! Especially if you've been around from the beginning 2.5 years ago! Thank you all! Have a wonderful day!

Strong ripples in the sand at Balmoral Beach.
A local beach that I have been to many times .. but this was the first time for a sunrise with photographic intent.
A nice low tide exposed some great features along the edge of the harbour, including these strong ripples at the edge of the rock pool.
Victoria and Albert Museum:
Examples of the works of Art in the Museum – South Kensington Museum – Published in 2 Volumes in 1881 – Book 1
Sometime ago I posted some of the illustrations from the above book and I hoped that would be able to find them physically in the museum and photograph them. I took the second set of 15 illustrations from this book and went on the V & A website; Search the Collections. My results were based upon the following criteria:
(1) Items I couldn’t find anywhere
(2) Items that were in storage
(3) Items I did locate and photograph.
So I will be posting them, along with their locations in the museum, against the original plate and photograph from storage (where possible). The original price and any further information I might find.
One thing I didn’t count on, was that internal renovations would alter the interior of the building so drastically. I have found it very difficult to pin some of these locations down but in the main they have been found which now completes Volume 1.

A Berkeley institution. World-renowned pizza!
HDM! HTM!
AND it's a bakery--breads. This view shows the bakery work section, which is why we don't see any big pizza ovens. My son straightened me out on this. This is also adjacent to the sales, shipping , and carry out section, which may explain some of what we see.
The incredible southern skies over Tasman Island, as seen from Cape Pillar.
As the skies cleared and there was a chance of an Aurora, I headed down to the end of Cape Pillar to shoot the stars.
With no civilisation betyween me and the south pole (other than the lighthouse on the island) the starts were abundant and incredibly clear.
After 2.5 hours and about 300 images, this is the net result.
Queenscliff Tunnel.
The wormhole (also known as the Queenscliff Tunnel) was constructed in 1908 by local fishermen as a shortcut through from Manly to Freshwater beach to the north.
I have been meaning to get to this location for a while now, and finally had an opportunity early on Friday morning.
This is actually quite a low and narrow tunneel - definitely a solo shooting oppotunity.

Great White Egret, South Carolina, USA by Daniel L Friend
Approaching high tide with a reasonable swell, combined with strong rays of sunshine. What more could you want!
Part of the small fishing village at Bulgo Beach. A fantastic, location untouched bar these small cottages, and only accessable by sea or a steep path back up the hill.
Panorama of Manly Beach.
Manly is the main beach on Sydney's north shore, and is easily accessible by ferry from the city, making it a popular tourist destination. Manly also hosts the reknown annual Manly Jazz Festival as well as other food and wine fairs.
I went walking with the family on the last day of Winter. Up and over Bangalley Headland on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.
Winter is clearly history! What a fantastic afternoon.
Before the month of March closes, I just had to upload this photo again to share my joy over this accomplishment.
Check out the March 2009 issue of "Cowboys and Indians" magazine - page 125! I entered this photo in a contest and while it didn't win, it did get published! I'm so excited. It's a special collectors issue for photographers so it's a great issue for all of the Flickr members.

Boats and a boatshed on Bulgo Beach.
Bulgo Beach is at the Southern end of The Royal National Park, and is home to a small fishing community housed in an eclectic collection of small cottages.
i just had 4 photos published in this months issue of Digital Photo magazine, "Britain's best-selling photography mag" (average issue readership is 389,000)
so, this is the first time i've ever been published, i'm happy.
A slightly different take on the previous version of this scene posted a couple of days ago. I really liked the soft water flow of the shorter shutter speed.
Which do you prefer?

---------------------------
The beautiful villa was built at the end of XVII century by the Milanese marquis Giorgio Clerici in a natural basin between lake and mountains, facing the dolomite Grignas and the peninsula of Bellagio. The architect created for the Clericis an important but sober building, with an Italian garden decorated with sculptures, stairs and fountains.
In 1801 Gian Battista Sommariva, famous politician, businessman and patron of arts, bought the villa. Thanks to this owner the property in Tremezzo attained the summit of its splendour and became one of the most important halting-place of the Grand Tour. The villa became a temple of XIX century art with works of Canova, Thorvaldsen and Hayez: Palamedes, Eros and Psyche, Terpsychore, The last kiss of Romeo and Juliet are only some of the masterpieces that enriches the extraordinary collection. Under Sommariva part of the park was transformed in a fascinating romantic garden.
Sommariva's heirs sold the villa in 1843 to Princess Marianne of Nassau, Albert's of Prussia wife, who gave it as a present to her daughter Carlotta in occasion of her wedding with Georg II of Saxen-Meiningen. Hence the name Villa Carlotta. Very fond in botanic, Georg enriched the park, today of great historical and environmental value. The gardens of Villa Carlotta chiefly owe their reputation to the rhododendrons' and azaleas' spring flowering, consisting of over 150 different sorts.

——————
The lilac-breasted roller (Coracias caudatus) is an African member of the roller family of birds. It is widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa and the southern Arabian Peninsula, preferring open woodland and savanna; it is largely absent from treeless places. Usually found alone or in pairs, it perches conspicuously at the tops of trees, poles or other high vantage points from where it can spot insects, lizards, scorpions, snails, small birds and rodents moving about at ground level.
Nesting takes place in a natural hole in a tree where a clutch of 2–4 eggs is laid, and incubated by both parents, who are extremely aggressive in defence of their nest, taking on raptors and other birds. During the breeding season the male will rise to great heights, descending in swoops and dives, while uttering harsh, discordant cries. The sexes are alike in coloration. Juveniles do not have the long tail feathers that adults do.
This species is unofficially considered the national bird of Kenya.

The topi (Damaliscus lunatus jimela) is a highly social and fast antelope subspecies of the common tsessebe, a species which belongs to the genus Damaliscus. They are found in the savannas, semi-deserts, and floodplains of sub-Saharan Africa.
Topi resemble hartebeest but have a darker coloration and lack sharply angled horns. They have elongated heads, a distinct hump at the base of the neck, and reddish brown bodies with dark purple patchings on their upper legs. They also have a mask-like dark coloration on the face. Their horns are ringed and lyrate shaped. Their coats are made of short, shiny hairs. They range in mass from 68 to 160 kg (150 to 353 lb). Head-and-body length can range from 150 to 210 cm (59 to 83 in) and the tail measures 40–60 cm (16–24 in). They are a tall species, ranging in height from 100 to 130 cm (39 to 51 in) at the shoulder.[5][6] Males tend to be larger and darker than females. Topi also have preorbital glands that secrete clear oil and the front legs have hoof glands.
The topi has a long but patchy distribution, as it prefers certain grasslands in arid and savanna biomes. Human hunting and habitat destruction have further isolated their population.
Topi live primarily in grassland habitats ranging from treeless plains to savannas. In ecotone habitats between woodlands and open grasslands, they stay along the edge using the shade in hot weather. They prefer pastures with green grass that is medium in height with leaf-like swards. Topis are more densely populated in areas where green plants last into the dry season, particularly near water. The topi is a selective feeder and uses its elongated muzzle and flexible lips to forage for the freshest plants. When foraging for food, topi tend to take small bites at a fast rate. Topi generally frequent flat lowlands and at elevations below 1500 m. When they have access to enough green vegetation, topi usually do not have to drink. They drink more when relying on dry grass. Topi use vantage points, such as termite mounds, to get a good look at their surroundings.
Topi are usually either numerous or absent in an area. Scattered populations do not last long and either increase or die off. The health of topis in a population depends on access to green vegetation. Herds of topi migrate between pastures. Predators of topi include lions and spotted hyenas, with jackals being predators of newborns. They are especially targeted by hyenas.Nevertheless, topi tend to have a low predation rate when other species are present.
The topi is currently classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN.
