Arch Rock Glow (9798)
This is the iconic Arch Rock in Joshua Tree National Park, CA USA. This is a real photo taken at night, illuminated by a ProtoMachines LED flashlight near a full moon while the camera shutter was open on my tripod-mounted camera. The streaks in the evening sky are the movements of the stars over the 386-second exposure. Nikon D610, Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 @ 14mm, 386 seconds f/8 ISO 200 2016-03-24 22:13

Rock City Barn
HWY 19 (Main St)
Bryson City
Swain County, NC
There is nothing richer in Southern History than Rock City barns. I have seen these all my life and even visited Rock City, a few years ago because of the signs.
We came across this one yesterday while taking an afternoon drive, just out of Bryson City, NC
In 1935, Clark Byers worked for Fred Maxwell, owner of an advertising company in Chattanooga, TN. Maxwell had been working with Garnet Carter, owner of Rock City Gardens, to come up with an advertising plan to promote the gardens. They came up with the idea of painting signs on barns. During the next three decades, Clark Byers and his helpers painted around 900 barns in 19 states. All their work was done freehand.
Last week a strong southerly change was forecast and the cloud build up signaled this change in weather was close. We drove to Cave Rock located on Sumner Beach in Christchurch and were able to just catch the sunlit rock against the darkening clouds. We were lucky as the light was only like this for a few minutes.
I followed my visit with some research on the small round building and mast built on the top of the rock. During Canterbury’s early years heavy goods could not be transported from Lyttelton over the Port Hills, so they were taken to Christchurch by small coastal vessels that crossed the Sumner sand bar into the Estuary, and unloaded freight at a wharf in Ferrymead. Crossing the sand bar was dangerous and a number of vessels were lost. In 1864 the Canterbury Provincial Government erected a signal mast on top of Cave Rock to enable a pilot to signal the state of the tides to ships using black and white canvas balls hung off the mast. The stone signal station on top of Cave Rock was constructed later in 1898, so this building is 124 years old. In addition to housing the signal equipment, it also contained a fog horn to summon the crew of the Sumner lifeboat when needed. Canterbury Library has a photo from 1900 showing the lifeboat stored in the cave with a launch ramp to the sea. In the 1930’s signal lights on the mast replaced the canvas balls.
Here's one from the archives, shot a few months ago in Cornwall (probably the best place to be if you're into seascapes and long exposures). This is Gull Rock, just a little off the coast of Portreath on the north Cornwall coast. This is one of a multitude of images that I've been sitting on for months, trying to figure out how best to treat it. Went in a new direction on this one, not quite sure yet if it's working here. Let me know what you think.
I haven't had much time for photography lately unfortunately. So many things are changing for me with my impending move back to Malaysia. We leave in just over 2 weeks now and packing is in full force. It's amazing how much "junk" you can accumulate without even realizing it! Despite all the stresses and strains, it's a very exciting time right now and I'm grateful for that.
This will probably be my last post for a long while. We are first heading off to California for an extended break, en route to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. All my computer gear is going by sea which means I probably won't "sea" them until at least mid-January (groan, did I really just say that?). Bad puns aside, I will still try to catch up on all of your work every now and then and I hope to see all of you again when I return!
So, until then, happy shooting and take care everyone!
PS: Ugh, Flickr seems to have oversharpened this. The original size looks alright though. Why does it do that?
I stumbled across this recently taken near the lighthouse at Ardnamurchan Point, Kilchoan, Acharacle, West Scotland. Five years back. I remember wandering down to the rocks as the tide had gone out and panning the camera on the crystal clear waters of the rock pools.
Rock Island CC119 at Roosevelt Road in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in March 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built by Pullman Standard in 1970, this was one of five smooth-side Control Cabs ( #'s CC115 - CC119 ) on the Rock Island, later, Metra 7881-7885. The cabs were deactivated on the Metra, turning them into coaches. The blue sign at the end door reads: SUB LINE 5:18. This train is seen leaving La Salle Street Station, presumably around 5:18 PM.

In tight on a small section of Rock Creek including a tree and roots along the opposite bank. I liked all the random colors and textures at play in this scene. Taking advantage of a slightly steeper gradient and lower light on this section of the creek I was able accentuate the flows to a greater extent by using a longer exposure.
Aboriginal rock art on Bigge Island records a first contact with another culture and race of people which was unknown to each. These people were from Europe and were possibly from Portugal or Spain. The local people painted things which they had not seen before such as smoking pipes, hats and even sailing ships. The image Rock Art (12) details a snake over the head of one of the European men, it is thought that the snake was a sign by the local people that these people should not be trusted.
This photo was taken while I was visiting Lofoten Beach Volleyball 2020, a yearly tournament on the Haukland beach in Lofoten.
The "Felsentor" (rock gate) at the Dürres Eck mountain in the Kalkalpen national park region of Upper Austria.
Recently, we visited some family in Colorado and while hiking their property outside of Loveland, we came across these stacked rocks that had been strategically place on stump of a tree trunk.
"Did you do this?"
"No. Did you?"
Now, not to start any rumors, but there was a bear seen frolicking in that area just the next morning.
