The rock returns! 2 second exposure. My tripod died producing this picture and my camera almost ended up in the water. I think this photo is a suitable tribute for my tripod, RIP.

I observed a couple of young Rock Squirrels looking for attention and I felt obliged to take a few images of them.
On the way back from the Eastern Sierra, Ben and I started to get a glimpse of some awesome high sunset clouds that looked to be spread out over the entire Tahoe basin. Rather than hit Hope Valley on the way back, we decided to see what the conditions looked like at Bonsai Rock or Sand Harbor. About an hour before sunset, we just knew we had to stay and the sunset did not disappoint! We had zero clouds for the previous 2 days and wanted to end with a solid sunset.
We ran into Michael Okimoto, who set up both his DSLR and an awesome 4x5 setup...producing some great looking B&W shots. The blazing sunset was a great way to finish off an epic trip! Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think!

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

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.

Finally I managed to shoot some seascapes again. Found this fairly interesting rock formations during a rare calm day in the North Atlantic
Bean Rock Lighthouse is the only surviving wave washed wooden cottage type lighthouse in New Zealand. Bean Rock stands on a group of rocks opposite North Head at the entrance to Waitemata harbour, Auckland.
Construction begun on the Bean Rock lighthouse in 1870 and was completed in 8 months. The design was an open framework with a cottage on top.
On 24 July, 1871, after a cost of £3000, the lighthouse with its kerosene light of 350 candlepower was lit.
The keeper lived in three rooms in the cottage structure. A living area including kitchen, a bedroom and the ‘long drop’ toilet to the sea below.
In 1912 it installed its first automatic acetylene light at Bean Rock and the lighthouse became the first watched light to lose it's resident keeper. At the same time it was changed to a flashing light to stand out from the lights of the city. The light revolved by the pressure it generated as it burned; an automatic sun valve turned the gas flow on and off.
Plans in the 1970's to replace the lighthouse with a concrete structure was meet with local opposition but by the 1980's the Auckland Harbour Board and Historic Places Trust were seriously worried about the lighthouse as it needed extensive repairs. In 1985 the cottage structure was removed by crane from the pilings and moved ashore for renovation. At the same time the rotted kauri piles were replaced with Australian hardwood jarrah and sunk in a new concrete foundation.
During the renovation, they found 20 coats of paint on one section of the lighthouse, showing how well the keepers had done their job. The lighthouse was also repainted white, it's original colour after being painted yellow since 1956. Five months later the cottage was craned back onto the new pilings and bolted down.
Solar panels now provide the power for the lighthouse and it has an automatic fog horn.
