Dunes have always fascinated me because of their textures and geometries, colours and contrasts. They are mobile, forming and reforming and it's just never the same when you get there. They are like waves in water, just much much slower. An then there is life, little grasses and little flowers or bones. Well, step back from the image and discover the track of a tinny creepy crawler. I find it amazing how it stands out.

This American Tree Sparrow was a first-of-season sighting for me. In our area, typically they arrive in the autumn soon after their similar-looking cousins, the Chipping Sparrows, disappear on their southerly migration.

These are bar end shifters. Located on the end of 'tri-bars' they are used to change the gears on a triathlon or time trial bike. The left hand lever adjusts the front derailleur accross the chain ring and the right hand one moves the rear derailleur across the cassette.
As I watched and photographed the sunset, I looked away and noticed the sand. I love the dimension and texture it adds.
Decided to have a go at a tilt shift this week for the theme. Not sure if I pulled it off, but it was fun trying something new.
First proper opportunity to get out and test drive my new tilt shift lens today, and am already a big fan. The shift funtion is unbelivably useful, and slowly getting used to the extra dimension the tilt can add. I probably went a bit overboard on tilt today, but I really like the way you can focus the eye on a virtual path through the image with it.
Busy times at morning shift change in the colliery yard at Dongchang on the Chengzihe system of the Jixi Coal Railway.
I promise I will not use M645 80/1.9 Sekor for another tilt/shift experiment. this was the best coverage I could get at F/4 and still was insufficient. Thus, I've lost control over light leaking...
Mamiya 645 1000s, Sekor 80/1.9 C, Kodak Ektar 100.
by the way, if anyone can identify this ancient Voigtländer fold-out camera, please let me know which one is it.
Stitched panorama of one of the most photographed spots in the dales. Overnight Storm Gertrude had battered the area and the weather was savage overnight and first thing. The storm blew over a few hours after sunnrise leaving flooded roads and a blue sky. Panorama using my Canon 35mm FD Tilt Shift.
Yet another tilt shift.
