So I'm driving through Arches National Park past some of the most unique rock forms in the world on the night of the brightest full moon of the year on a starry night. Sounds like a great opportunity for some night photography...except I've never tried it. I mean I have no idea what to do. I know I have to change the ISO and the autofocus won't work - I also know that it's nice and warm in the car and it's about 20 degrees outside. So I drive on...for about one minute and then turn around. I actually was able to get a decent shot of Balanced Rock here, the moon was so bright I had to hide it on the other side of the rock. Yes, I realize that it would have been easier to shoot with the moon behind me but there were no stars in that sky and besides that would have meant walking around in the cold for a shot that I was sure wasn't going to turn out after a day of hiking. I think this is a pretty decent first effort.

10m high dolerite rock of some 500 tons is of interest because of its shape and for its being precariously balanced.
I'm always in my element when faced with all kinds of rocky features to point a lens at. There's no shortage of great rocks in Pembrokeshire.

Bishop Rock Lighthouse, Isles of Scilly
Unfortunately this was the closest I could get as the weather was too bad to get a boat out to the lighthouse. I took this from the island of St. Agnes, through a haze of sea-spray. Beyond the lighthouse it's next stop America, this is the real Lands End.
Established in 1858 and automated in 1992, it is 49 metres in height.

Succulent rock art
So my photo life has been on hold since I've been in the new Covid19 Witness Protection Program, but I've been working on honing some of the paint skills I picked up in second grade. Learning some Watercolor skills from Let's Make Art videos, creating hemp jewelry, and making some desert themed rock art for the pots near my front door. If I can't get out and enjoy nature, I'll just make a little bit for myself.
Sure, why not!

I went to scout out some areas for later photo sessions today. My travels took me to the shores of Lake Erie, specifically to Rock Point Provincial Park, just South-East of Dunnville, Ontario. The point is aptly named, as the sedimentary rock shelves project out from the park into Lake Erie, representing a significant navigation hazard in the already very shallow lake. As luck would have it, Rock Point has a big boulder on the 'beach'. I believe it is an erratic, i.e a rock carried here by glacial action some 10,000 years (or so) ago. The composition of the rock appears to be granitic, unlike the local sedimentary rock formations. Mother nature was not particularly cooperative today, bringing periodic snow flurries in the sub-zero (Celsius) temperatures as heavy clouds obscured most of the sky, but kindly providing a small break for the small 'god-beam' phenomenon seen out over the lake. On the shore near the camera position, you can see a heavy deposit of what appears to be gravel, but which is, instead, shells of zebra-mussels. This invasive species is believed to have been introduced in ballast from European sea vessels in 1988 and now is well established in Lake Erie (among other lakes and waterways). - JW
Date Taken: 2014-12-29
Tech Details:
Taken using a tripod-mounted Nikon D7100 fitted with a Nikkor 12-24mm lense set to 12mm, ISO100, Aperture priority mode, f/11 (to get depth of field required), 1/80 sec. PP in free Open Source RAWTherapee: bring up shadows, reduce highlights slightly to preserve detail in 'god-beam' area, slightly increase black level, boost vibrance, apply noise reduction, sharpen. PP in free Open Source GIMP: load image twice as layers, bottom layer for sky and top layer for shore, adjust the shore layer tone curve to get a good looking shore area disregarding the impact on the sky, adjust the tone curve of the sky layer to get good contrast and highlights disregarding the impact on the shore area, use a soft edged eraser tool to remove the sky from the top/shore layer revealing the better sky in the layer below, create new working layer from the visible result, increase saturation to bring out the colours in the boulder, slightly boost contrast and reduce brightness to get a more natural (to me) look), sharpen, add fine black and white frame, add bar and text on left, scale to 1800 wide for posting.
