Reflections
If you enlarge the water droplet on the right hand petal of this snowdrop you will see a reflection of the church which has very special memories for Mrs P and I from many many years ago, ding dong💕🎉💃😎
Right, back to serious stuff, in the early hours of this morning Nipper went out into our garages and fired up the Jensen Interceptor.
I hear you all say what is Nipper still doing at your house.
Well lend me your ear, as you all know Mrs Penberthey went to Jamaica on a last minute holiday deal and asked Horace to look after Nipper, her young Jack Russell.🚙🐶🐾🐾
Now as her homeward flight was hurtling down the runway of Montego Bay a thrust bearing broke up in one of the engines of the coffee machine.
Therefore the aeroplane had to taxi back to the stand, as ‘Village Airways’ have extremely high standards.
Mrs Penberthey face timed Nipper with this information and guess what, Nipper was straight on the phone to the bearing manufactures and told them not to supply a bearing as he was having so much fun with Hoof and Horace, so keep the plane there as long as possible.
There you have it.🐶😉
Where were we, yes the Jensen, Nipper drove it around to Hoof’s shed, hitched up a caravan, not any old grockle box, this was a state of the art command centre.
We are talking communication systems not even thought of yet that have been fitted to this CC. Forget 4G and 5G, these are more Ali G.📡
Hoof and Horace collected a large tarpaulin from the shed, a few tent poles and pegs the three of them then set off to West Cornwall on a mission.
Their aim is to suppress Storm Dennis, the plan is to erect a piece of tarpaulin from Land’s End across to The Lizard, in turn this might deflect a large percentage of the winds coming in from the Atlantic and send them skywards helping to protect large areas of the UK.⛺️⛺️💨💨💨
As Nipper was driving past Land’s End airport Hoof asked him to drive in as he felt he should inform the ground staff of their high tech plan and that he would be operating highly sophisticated communications systems in this area.📡📡
So the boys were invited in for elevenses in order to discuss the windbreak plan (steady) During these discussions Nipper noticed a policeman wearing a pilot’s uniform and said to Horace “that’s a bit odd” Horace said “it’s okay it’s a plane clothes cop.👮♂️🚓
I will leave you with this thought, Hoof was recently checking in his suitcases at an airport and asked the operative who was weighing them, “could you send one of my bags to Miami, send one to Florida, send one to Boston”.
They said “we are very sorry we can’t do that”
Hoof said “why not, you did it last time".✈️
Stay safe over the weekend.💨💨💨⛈⛈⛈⛑
Thank you very much for looking at my shots, your comments and banter are so appreciated. 👍🍺🍺🍺🍷🍷🍷🐎🐷🐶💃😎😂😂😂
Reflections on a calm morning at Jackson Lake.
What attracted me to this scene, apart from the mirror-like quality of the water, is the burst of orange in the middle of the frame.

Reflection of San Remo Towers on the Central Park Lake, New York.
The 2nd largest man-made body of water in the Park (the Reservoir is the largest), the Lake was created originally from a large swamp.
The most popular use of the lake today is for row boating and the sturdy vessels can be rented at the Loeb Boathouse at the northeast corner of the Lake. Probably the best way to experience the variety of terrains that surround the man made body of water is a boat trip, and there are few greater pleasures to be had in Central Park then a leisurely cruise around the shoreline. Around the lake you can see places as diverse as the Bethesda Terrace, the Loeb Boathouse, the Bow Bridge or Hernshead, not to mention the fauna which includes ducks, mallards and a rather extended family of turtles. For the many years preceding the construction of Wollman Rink in 1951 the Lake was also the center of ice-skating in the park. This was a wildly popular diversion, especially at the turn of the century when as many as 40,000 people were reported to have skated in one day. It offered New Yorkers valuable exercise, as well as a socially acceptable place to socialize (although for many years one end of the lake was designated strictly for use by women).
I've got a thing about trying to record perfect reflections on the little pond in back of me. You'd be surprised how frequently the reflection has a tiny ripple from somewhere and isn't so good. I'm not sure I could ever do any better than this.

Grand Teton National Park at Oxbow Bend, along the Snake River.
People ask me why or when do you shoot a scene in the 'landscape' orientation (horizontal) or in the 'portrait' orientation (vertical). I discuss this in detail in one of my free landscape articles--see below. Most landscape shots are framed horizontally, because that fits best with the scene. The choice for the serious nature photographer is more complex. The first decision you must make is, what is the end purpose of the shot? A calendar image is almost always shot horizontally. A magazine cover is shot vertically. For this shot, I did both. Follow the link below to see the horizontal image of this scene.

From looking at the two images of the same scene shot seconds apart, you can see how different they are. One encompasses the entire scene--the forest, the river, the snow-capped Teton mountains and the ducks are very small. It is a 'grand' scene. The shot above, the vertical one, 'zooms in' and focuses on Mt Moran and its reflection on the Snake River. Here the ducks are more of an important part of the scene--a secondary compositional element.
When I approach a scene like this, I try to always shoot it both ways and then process them to get the best out of the shot. If Outdoor Photographer magazine ever wants a magazine cover of Oxbow Bend, I have it. ;>) Please feel free to call!
Also note the 'placement' of the ducks in the version above. Now as a nature photographer, I did not swim out into the Snake River and 'place' the four ducks. As the patient nature photographer, I waited for the duck to place themselves for this shot. While my photography partner James Neeley was making his way along the river's shore taking many great images, I was setup on my tripod and just waiting for the ducks to swim into place. Then I snapped away, horizontally and vertically. One of the most important things I like to teach about nature photography is the 'art of waiting'. James Neeley, Jeff Sullivan, Kevin McNeal and I will be teaching a landscape and nature photography workshop here next June.

Reflections of Nature
Lago Di Brais is a beautiful lake surrounded by the Dolomite Mountains. While there are plenty of locations around the shoreline for photo opportunities, I wanted to get a better perspective to showcase both the mountains and their reflections in the lake. To get it, I had to make an early hour climb up a hillside a bit of a distance from the lake. The spot I chose required shooting the scene at 300mm rather than the more classical wide-angle versions that can be seen in other images. It proves that using telephoto lenses can be used for landscape photography just as effectively as much wider-angle lenses.
