..wonderful light after an early morning snow shower which made to road to this hidden valley very treacherous. This is the second of three feeder lakes, and a mountain bike track begins a little further up the valley, threading its way along the edge and downhill towards Swansea.

ENG: The reflected city life at the Alexanderplatz in Berlin. Where did the photographer hide? Next to the "L" of the word Berlin, behind the tram door during the ride.

As the old adage goes, The Only Constant In Life Is Change...and this scene will soon change forever. And while most won't lament the loss of one of the last stretches of long street running in the northeast the railfan community sure will...me among them.
One of the last trains ever to run up Monroe Street on the old Erie Dundee spur reflects off the tinted window of a vehicle parked along the crowded street. It's this conflict between traffic and trains that has long driven the city to try to drive the railroad off. What they could never do had finally been done by simple economics and the changing nature of northeastern industry.
ME SW1500 (EMD blt. Oct. 1966 as RFP 91) is shoving west with five cars of scrap rail and hardware they will be taking back to Morristown. After this there will probably be one more scrap train to run up and down the street and then that will be the end...

“It is when you lose sight of yourself, that you lose your way. To keep your truth in sight you must keep yourself in sight and the world to you should be a mirror to reflect to you your image; the world should be a mirror that you reflect upon.”

A shot I took on a lovely calm morning in Wales back in late January. Have so many images from that trip that I've still to process so more to come.

A wise man once said that life, is about how you deal with crisis. Either you're in a crisis, just got out of one, or headed for one! May you find peace in the midst of your storm.
A thick haze looms over Beijing. The airborne cottonish particles can be amusing but at the long end they become irritants.
On a bright day one can see the Space Needle almost everywhere if one looks :-). This is my fave window at Seattle Center's Fun Forrest area to view the Needle checkin' out its handsome self :-).
That's the Shilo Inn reflecting in the bubble - right side up and upside down!

We can't decide on our favourites from here so all five are getting posted! Prior Park is a beautiful oasis of calm very near the centre of Bath. The Palladian bridge is one of only four in the world, three in England and one in Russia.
This image was taken with a full-spectrum converted camera, and represents a very fun adventure into new areas of photography for me. I’ve always wanted to do a star trail image that focused on reflections as well! View large!
“Full spectrum” means that the camera can detect light from wavelengths beyond that of human vision. Camera sensors are normally sensitive to ultraviolet and infrared light, but a filter in front of the camera blocks this light from being recorded in the image. In this way a camera shows us a similar world to the world we see with our own eyes, but what if you wanted to collect all the light? Remove the filters and you’re pushing new limits.
Images done in “full spectrum” look very strange and far “redder” than you would expect. This is because there is a ton of infrared light, especially on a sunny day, that messes with the camera’s ability to record colours properly. In many ways a full-spectrum camera is useless, but the night sky is an exception. Because the white balance has to be skewed to compensate for the additional light, “true” colours aren’t exactly on the menu; the light pollution that we would see as orange on the horizon is green because of this colour shift. There is variation in the colour of the stars that we see in the frame as well, and my first impression is that I’m able to see a greater variation in full-spectrum than I can with my regular camera.
You might ask why I would convert a camera to full-spectrum photography when its uses are limited. By placing various filters in front of the camera lens I can shoot in various levels of infrared and ultraviolet light. The full spectrum has some limited value, but slicing up different bands of the spectrum is where the fun begins. I’ll be publishing an ebook later this year on infrared and extra-spectrum photography, so don’t be surprised if you see more images like this through the summer!
The water was mostly calm, but a few ripples on the surface caused some star reflections to become slightly chaotic, resembling recorded sound waves. A lot of deep shadows were pulled up to help balance the image and keep a surreal feel to the overall composition, and it’s amazing to think that all of this was lit exclusively with the light of the cosmos. There was no moon, and no light painting done. It was a spectacular night.
As I lay under the stars being serenaded by a variety of frogs (take a listen: donkom.ca/extra/frogs.mp3 ) I couldn’t help but feel at peace. I was doing what I love – exploring the unseen world and experimenting with photography, and finding time to enjoy the natural world around me. I was feasted on by mosquitoes and other insects of the night, but it didn’t bother me. I was in my element. :)
