Mid Wales

Mega Rarity for Wales and Uk

This was shot with a 2-stop neutral density filter. The camera was on a mini tripod about a foot off the ground.

 

Thanks for viewing!

Treecreeper - Malaga Province, Spain.

 

Thank you for taking a look at my images.

Another clear night, had to have a go at this. Only 3 minutes walk from my house as well! Bit of a pain for light pollution though, and I think it might be a record for the time it took me to edit it...

A pretty and peaceful spot at Joe's Rock in Wrentham, Massachusetts

Rock formations nearby Lagos. Algarve, Portugal

Apparently this amazing rock formation is not a human-made monument – it’s a monument of Mother Nature. Vermillion Cliffs (Arisona, U.S.A.) at Navajo Bridge.

A slice of Utah near Bend.

 

One of the two geological marvels at Oregon's Smith Rock State Park. One of the premier cliff climbing spots in America.

 

Monkey Face can be seen on the left side.

 

Thanks for taking a look!

Good afternoon dear people,

This morning I had the pleasure of doing a small photo workshop as part of my work. In addition to the consulting work with the families, I enjoy working with young people in the field of experiential education. Whether kayak paddling, sawing, hammering, screwing or photographing. That often creates a good relationship and actually it has always been that way, I just like to teach something to others. Two really nice photos were taken by the girl and by the way I even came to take a photo. How nice is that ?!

 

Yes, the weather. It changed constantly at the moment. It has become quite cool. The sun had all the trouble to get out of this morning. Good for us, because we were able to photograph the sun rays that broke through the cloud cover. However, they disappeared very quickly. But the lake is just beautiful and somehow there is always a successful composition, if you take some time to love what you see, to see what you love... Whatever!

 

But little rocks are really adorable. For me...!

 

I wish you a great weekend.

...on Grey Friar (Swiss national day yesterday)

Sometimes you;re on a beach looking for the picture that shows how big these rocks are,

And there they where ,I didn't think just shoot......and this is the shot!...And I still love this picture....

Heron's Head Park, San Francisco, CA

This species is a rare visitor to northern California's coast. This loner was initially sighted in early November of 2019, marking the first record of its species for the city of San Francisco. It appears to have decided to extend its stay at Heron's Head Park since then, and has been seen by many other birders.

I’d like to dedicate this shot to a good friend of mine William McIntosh. I have spent the last 4 months shooting as much as I can with Bill and trying to gleen info from him about his weather prediction skills and gain some insight about his frame of mind about photography. He is a master of weather prediction IMHO and I have always admired his tenacity which has netted him some absolutely fantastic captures from Yosemite National Park and the Pacific Northwest. Bill contacted me during the week to see if I was up for a Banzai run to Yosemite Valley as he was predicting a passage in the storm which would provide a high probability of misty/snowy conditions like seen in many of his postings from there. Of course Bill was right on the money as was shown from some of the webcams provided there. But unfortunately I had to decline as I was starting to get sick with the Flu and didn’t want to drag him down with me. Today he contacted me again to see if I was up for some shooting at Corona Del Mar but I was still trying to fight off the Flu and as painful as it was had to opt out again. Later, today, as I was digging through my folder of processed photos I found this shot and the pain of declination returned. Sorry Bill, I was more worried about getting you sick then worsening my own condition. LOL. Thanks for the invite my friend and hope you had a great day at CDM. If you would like to see William’s amazing photography, you can visit his stream here.

Tale of the Take…

This is a side view of the arch found at Corona Del Mar, If you wanted to get a full view through the arch you would need to scramble along the cliffsides base there at a specific tide level, I say specific because if you time it incorrectly you wouldn’t drown but you would have to spend a long, cold night on the rocks or call the Coast Guard to come “fish” you out which carries along an $800 dollar or better rescue charge. I’m still hoping that Bill will show me the specifics of entering here at a time that would be safe to enter and exit during the sunset. See what I mean about his tenacity. :)

Valley of Fire in Searchlight, Nevada. The rock on the left reminds me of some kind of prehistoric creature.

Siwash Rock is a landmark you'll come across when you do the circle around Vancouver's Stanley Park.

Monasteries amongst the cliffs in Meteora, Thessaly, Greece

Wallaga Lake, Bermagui, Australia

This was one of those will it, wont it sunsets. There was a bank of cloud that wasn't supposed to be there according to the apps, but it cleared just in time for sunset thankfully.

 

Great to be out with my good friend Oli and met up with another local tog who was out for the first time after 6 weeks recovering from a hip replacement operation. It was safe to say that at 78 yrs old with a new hip he went nowhere near the slippy rocks but still got some great shots from angles I've never seen before.

Something about this, that I like, not sure what. Maybe its the contrast of rough textures against the smooth water and sky.

I seem to be drawn to the LE minimal images of late.

Music choice just goes with the title and hopefully bring a little enjoyment :)

Serra da Freita - Portugal

The rock is composed of a mineral called Arkose. Granite like with Feldspar. The iron in Feldspar reacts with oxygen in the air to give us the orange-red colour. Newly broken bits will be grey to white in colour.

When I was packing for a weekend getaway down to Camel Rock on the NSW South Coast I looked at the 3 tents in my garage. My Ultra Like Big Agnes, my Hilleberg Bomb Shelter or my palatial Black Wolf weekender.

 

While this shot was being taken my Black Wolf was perched on an open hill back at Dalmeny Campground being hammered by 50km/h winds. Maybe I should have packed differently…

 

In the end I came away fairly un-scathed with just a broken tent pole, a small price to pay for finally getting myself down to this remarkable part of the coast. There are literally too many comps here to count and I didn’t even both looking at Horse Head or Glasshouse.

 

I’ll definitely be back and next time I’ll be prepared!
