This image is the result of many years of trying and thinking about how to get the best results in single images of the Milky Way. For a long time I was planning to shoot a single exposure with these parameters of ISO 200, exposure time of 8 minutes. Here is an effect that will surprise many lovers of Milky Way photos. It turns out that with a suburban sky that is not too dark, you can basically deny the existing canons of photography.

camera toss plus processing = fun

my initial foray into programmatic sources for camera toss, see this photo for a better description.

A principio de los 90s hice esta foto de una amiga, con la Leica IIIF regalo de mi padre...està muy desmejorada (es una copia en papel) pero con un programita de I.A. para el mòvil cobrò vida nuevamente, con un resultado sorprendente para mì al menos...

Leave's almost covering the ground.

not much time these days...sorry

This is the reflection of the front part of a yellow canoe that was resting on the bank of the river. Using a smidgen of punsters license, I decided to name the pareidolia head that emerged, Canute or Canoot after King Canute a Danish king of England 1017-1035. He is best remembered for demonstrating to fawning courtiers his ability to hold back the rising tide.

Thank you so much

... is complete rubbish.

I mean it is OK unless you look closely.

Outcome of the attempt to scan a slide with the contraption shown before.

The picture shows Yosemite valley seen from Glacier Point. I shot this in 2002 on Kodachrome.

A dip into the archive of last trip to Dungeness.

Great conditions, right loco, good company; what more could you want?

Well, to be honest, the tide in but if that'd happened I'd have had to quit the hobby on a high.

These are the days that make all the fails rankle a bit less!

** 2 shot panorama stitched in PS **

I'm DONE! LOL! Thank you ALL for your ideas, suggestions and constructive criticism! I hope I some how hit the in between this time!

This was the beautiful result following the cobweb creation, previously posted in this photostream, of my Actaea [Cimicifuga, Bugbane] which was quickly destroyed by local gusting breezes.

I must have had a lucky spider :-)

Here you see why the Heron was guarding its domain with such ferocity. Within minutes of chasing away the anhinga, the heron lunged out of the tree it was sitting in, beat its extended wings thrice and plunged into the water - spearing the prize displayed here.

A few flips and turns and the prize slid down the throat - some other photos of this series are included in the comments below.

ꒌ НАЛИЧЈЕ ПОСТ-ИНДУСТРИЈСКОГ друштва —Тачан моменат заласка сунца (које је заклоњено зградом са леве стране овог кадра), мразно ветровито вече пред Божић Јелинима и Сиријцима.

► █░▓ CHRISTMAS EVE day-to-night border line. The very moment of astronomical sunset. The Sun was blocked by the nearby shipyard. It was the first clear sunset this winter here (after December solstice launch last Sunday afternoon). It took place at 231°, which is the southernmost place on the horizon in the whole year's season cycle. Just to the left beyond this frame.

This is a strange capture, a compound of extremely busy lower half and the negative space in the upper half. A mayhem. This might work better in total monochrome. There is too much to name everything. Lower left the shipyard offices. To the right behind the trees a narrow strip of Avelingen, the Boven Merwede right riverbank. Behind the river: De Werken shipyards. Further behind: De Biesbosch. In the background De Dordtse Biesbosch.

► The symbolism of this borderline industrial landscape may be obvious. The conclusion of Advent, the Christmas Eve is telling you: look at the world on the ground! It's one big mess, or made mess, skyline pollution, waterline pollution, wiring, heavy machinery dissecting the Earth, a conundrum of human attempts to reach happiness through pandemonium of tumultuous undertakings and enterprises. Most of which are destructive, or at best ludicrous. But not far from it — just a little higher — there is peace and calm, invariable space of original perfection, the gentle clear skies, the vestibule of Heaven. How many of us turn our eyes away from the ground and up into the free areas above?

It was unattainable to get rid of the excessive orange sky colour without deteriorating the rest.

I really enjoyed my day out in my white socks that I didn't want to take them off after getting back to the hotel.

Thinking of ordering PhenQ – wait till you have read this!

Trying to lose weight huh? Tell me about it. I have struggled with it for a really long time. After the birth of Evan, my second child – my body weight was all over the place.

Former West Midlands Railway Class 153 Super Sprinters 153371 and 153375 pass Elford loop working service 5D85 13.30 from Burton Wetmore sidings to Cardiff Canton sidings. The units were destined not to reach their destination having failed at Abbotswood Junction. The pair were rescued by 153365 and 153354 and returned to Wetmore Sidings.

Destined for a new life with Transport for Wales their failure resulted in both units, along with the remainder of the former Class 153 fleet instead being placed into long term storage at Long Marston.

Was it good? I reckon it must have been - she looked exquisite in that dress!

‘EVERYDAY COMMON.’

Travel restrictions resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic have helped me focus on and appreciate the everyday common. There are many wildflower treasures to be found close to home, like this exquisite Red Dead Nettle flower.

BEST VIEWED LARGE.

24 photos, kinda impressive for processing on a mobile.

Will definitely have to deploy this from the unusual perspectives I get to work backstage. Not nice enough results to take seriously, but definitely lots of fun!

you judge.... perhaps a small problem with the corpus callosum?

taken at the Stratford Festival Theatre gardens, Ontario, when we went to see Henry in a Shakespearean master class.

A sort of Abstract.....

Model: Hazel

Crew: Mahmut Akay, Carlos, Ed, Mo.

This is the final image created for our eBay campaign. Director Mahmut Akay recently shot a video of me showing my photographic process while creating this image of Hazel from the initial conceptualisation to the final result. You can view that video at the link below to find out how I came up with this idea and why things look the way they look here amongst other bits and bobs I talk about.

Credits are important to me as I don't make the stuff and Second Life would be very dull if it weren't for all the creators who do. The variety here is amazing. In a lot of ways, making a photograph here is like making a movie -- you need people who make stuff from trees to monsters to clothes to poses, people who create the sets, the actors (avators) and photographers. It is a wonderful collaboration between a lot of people that results in one photograph.... well, ok, a lot of photographs, lol.

I'll try to get his stuff tonight but I think he changed clothes.

Later: Oops, he already changed so I don't have his info. Sorry.

Standing in the snow, watching another train pass by, reporting anything unusual, it's all part of the job.

By this minus 10ish degres celsius night, engineer JFD is doing what he as done for nearly every shift he's been in the hole for the 306. Once the train clears, he'll be climbing abord his behemoth and he will tell the other crew the results of his observation of their train.
