Couldn't resist taking this piece outside to capture the beautiful evening light through her beautiful curves. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing - let your light shine.
The constant battle of the photographer and the waves. Trying to catch just the right motions, without getting wet, is really just foolish. I think if I had any advice for a new seascape photographer, it would be, expect to get wet, use a ten stop filter, and just play with different shutter speeds until you're consistently getting something that you like, and don't get your $5,000 camera wet with sea water. Because salt water and electronics ... well they just don't mix. I was shooting an XT1 next to a rock once in San Diego and took the equivalent of a bucket of sea water on the camera. It still worked fine, weather sealed, but over time things began sticking. Doesn't matter the camera, sea water is eventual death. It will also probably kill your tripod. The price we pay I suppose.
I like this shot because I was alone this night. No one else there. Such a beautiful place, and wonderful soft light to be alone. I fully expected the usual hordes. No one. Not sure why, don't care, it was relaxing to not have to worry about being in anyone's way and not have to stake out my spot. I think I love freedom in general, so when expecting to be bogged down, it's nice to have wings and be able to flutter a bit.

Well hey there ladies and gentlemen. So, I've long promised it and here we go. Nothing too new in terms of style, but this is pretty recent and by far the most recent shot I've posted in a long while.
Anyhow, I'll post ya a few new snaps and then most likely go back to the archive diving. My catalogue is in a complete mess and I'm slowly starting to tidy it up and relink photos to files etc etc. So I figure, as I start to build a few new quality pics to share, I'll be finding plenty I've never posted before from years ago along with some old favourites. Hope you enjoy and cheers.

There is a moment—quiet, almost secret—when the boundary between your inner landscape and the outer world dissolves. Not dramatically. Not with revelation. More like a soft unfastening. A loosening of edges. The kind of shift you only notice because something inside you suddenly feels less alone.
In that hush, the world doesn’t feel separate from you.
It feels like an extension of your own interior weather.
And the presences that shaped you rise—not as memories, not as stories, but as sensations woven into that weather.
The gentle ones become the warmth in your chest,
the part of you that softens even when you don’t mean to.
Their imprint is the quiet reassurance that tenderness once found you,
and that it still lives somewhere inside your breath.
The steady ones become the grounding beneath your thoughts,
the inner gravity that keeps you from drifting too far from yourself.
Their presence is the calm you feel without knowing why.
The storm‑bearers become the deeper currents—
the places where your inner world has ridges, shadows, depth.
They shaped the parts of you that can hold intensity,
that can feel without collapsing,
that can stand in truth even when it shakes.
And the luminous ones—
the rare souls who revealed you to yourself—
become the thin, impossible light that moves through your inner horizon.
Not bright. Not overwhelming.
Just enough to show you the shape of your own being.
When the world and the self blur, all of these textures gather.
Not as separate influences,
but as one continuous presence inside you.
You feel the warmth and the weight,
the calm and the storm,
the scattered and the whole—
each one a trace of someone who once touched your life
and now lives as part of your inner atmosphere.
And in that merging, a quiet understanding rises:
You are not yourself alone.
You are a single grain on the endless shore.
Shaped by every presence that ever reached you,
held by tides far larger than your own.

of course another evening catboy stroll — and while yesterday the krĂa (arctic terns) were still their usual nesting-season aggressive, this evening they checked us out but then flew off hunting over the water — the season is already waning…
The Laowa 15mm Zero-D shift provides a very different view compared to the 30mm and 90mm. The stairs are looking longer now.
A reluctant but necessary upload. Our undersea world is under constant pressure from mankind activity, no more so than coral, which does not tolerate rising temperatures and bacterial infection. This was part of a coral garden. Now just a tombstone.
It always happens. I peak round the door as I get the dogs ready for their morning walk, it’s flat dull and tossing down, so I decided to leave the camera. The walk is as damp as I expected but on the home leg I come across this little scene in the field. The horses have all congregated underneath a willow tree to keep dry, it looks lovely, but no camera. As I get home I leave the wet dogs in the porch and quickly pick up a camera and a tripod, jump in the car and nip back up to the field. When I get there the scene is even better, rather than the huddle I left 10 minutes ago I now have another horse trying to negotiate room underneath the willow. “Go on, shift along mate. I’m not moving.” You’ll be glad to know within a few frames, room is found and horsey get comfortably under the tree. I do like a happy ending.
I played around with tilt shift done by the Edge 80 Optic on a Lensbaby Composer Pro that my wife & friends had given me on my last birthday. I like the results, sweet stuff & very special. Have to try it on a portrait session or wedding. Thx, guys!

For 52 weeks. I'm breaking the rules by dividing my image exactly in half.

time goes on
always forward
run to keep up
or fall behind
picking up pieces
filling in cracks
don't look behind
the past
is the past.
always forward
but don't forget
memories
and our past
let us move ahead
let us become
let us evolve
let us change
and so
there is
a slight
shift left.
KCS 2600 east LWY101 at 8 AM arriving Wylie Texas on bitter cold winter day, 01/09/2010 with 7 degree F when I took this shot. That is frozen Fargin' Ice water. Too cold for us Texans who dont know what a real winter feels like, The 101 job arriving the yard. There night shift has ended at the early morning light.
This photograph was taken along the edge of the water in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge. I quite liked how the chairs were arranged. I also like were the people were sitting. I really just stumbled across this photograph. Everyone in the scene was there and there wasn't any waiting needed.

A test shot of the 16 image pixel shift multi shooting mode on the newer Sony cameras.
Download the the full resolution 240MP image and see what you think.
Unfortunanetly the high resolution mode confirmed that my lens is slightly decentred, with a softer left side performance. Ironically, this is harder to see at normal resolutions. Some times, ignorance is bliss!
