If you're ever in Monmouth, go and have a look at the Slaughter House arches. I don't think I've done them justice but they're a great photographic location.
I am very sorry, but I will start to post a lot of holiday pictures. Aren't they always the most interesting you know?
Mette and I went to Britain on Saturday the 23. of March. We landed on Gatwick south of London and spent the first day to drive to Dolgellau in Wales.
We had planned to drive through Cotswold and visit Hay-on-Way in Wales on the way. A little by chance did we end up in Lower Slaughter.
It was a wonderful day, warm and sunny, a day you normally get just one of in ten years in Britain. We got seven on our first seven days!
The name of the village of Lower Slaughter stems from the Old English name for a wet land 'slough' or 'slothre' (Old English for muddy place) upon which it lies. This quaint village sits beside the little Eye stream and is known for its unspoilt limestone cottages in the traditional Cotswold style.
This is a very small village, with little park area, (if any?), and we had to drive well outside of it to find a place for the car. The benefit of this was a beautiful walk back into the town.

I thought this would be a great opportunity to test out the D800 in a low light action situation. It dusk and there was a lot of smoke in the area from surrounding wildfires so I set the ISO to 1600. I was able to get 1/80 of a second at f13 with this ISO. With the D3s I would have used ISO 3200 and not even worried about the noise. The D800 is no D3s as far as noise and speed are concerned, but the noise was managable.
OK, I admit I push processed this a lot but I was amazed at how much I could! In Adobe Camera RAW I lowerd the highlights and raised the shadows as well as increasing clarity and vibrance. There was enough dynamic range in the image that the entire scene could be captured with a single image in this challenging lighting situation.
Buffalo Slaughter: Life & Death on a Buffalo Farm
I've been working on editing and writing this project for several weeks now. I believe it's the best work I'm currently capable of producing as a photographer and writer. View the full story over on Exposure
Another Forge World addition to my World Eaters. A squad of three Blood Slaughterers of Khorne, one of them equipped with the Impaler. Fantastic models, but very time consuming thanks to the amount of very detailed legs and arms.
Lower Slaughter is a village in the Cotswolds Gloucestershire, some four miles south west of the town of Stow-on-the-Wold.. At the west end of the village there is an old water mill with an undershot waterwheel and a chimney for additional steam power.

My job is to whip you into shape, and I mean whip! There's only two ways out of my command, on your feet like a man, or in a ditty bag. An itty-bitty ditty bag! GOT IT?
Yo Joe!
Haven't taken pictures of anything but my nephew lately, so I went hiking today to take in some of the fall colors.
This morning saw me head to Lower Slaughter in the Cotswolds for dawn. I have had this shot in mind since running a 1-2-1 workshop here about 6 weeks ago. This morning the conditions were looking good, with a nice sidelight forecast and light cloud. I haven't been out for a dawn shoot in a few weeks, so it was nice to be out in the fresh morning air again, and even better to come home with a shot I'm pleased with!

I've been teaching Poppy photography, take a look at her Flickr.
Each individual seen in these photos has their own story. All coming from very scary, and brutal backgrounds.
Instead of considering them lucky - we should understand why their past was horrific and how we can change that, today.
Sheep raised for their wool face a similar fate as those raised for meat. Again, wool from younger sheep is preferred, and once their production decreases, they are sent to slaughter. Most of the world’s wool comes from Australian sheep. After years of producing wool for market, these sheep are then shipped live to the Middle East to be slaughtered for meat. Their ocean journey is a crowded, tortuous trek which can take over three weeks, only to have their throats slashed upon arrival…while fully conscious.
Most of the sheep raised in Australia are merino sheep. Merino sheep have wrinkly skin, which makes them vulnerable to fly larva infestation. Horrifically, the treatment, called mulesing, involves removing large amounts of skin from the sheep’s backside while they are fully conscious with no pain medication or anesthesia.
Lanolin, the waxy substance secreted by wool-bearing animals, is usually extracted from the sheared sheep’s wool. This substance is used in many cosmetics and lotions used for moisturizers, as well as in many industrial products. Most shearers are paid “per sheep,” so they rush through the shearing procedure, leading to cuts and nicks, which then lead to infections that are rarely treated. After years of this painful treatment during shearing, they are sent to slaughter.
Since wool-bearing sheep have been bred to continuously grow their wool, the sheep residents at the Refuge require yearly shearing. Too much wool leads to heat-related ailments and other health issues. Understanding this, we work with a gentle shearer who takes the time to shear each sheep in as peaceful a way as possible. Because of this, our flock is sheared over many days, but are much happier for it.
A wild sheep takes care of their wool just fine, growing just enough for the winter and simply shedding it naturally in the summer. In captivity, just as factory farmed animals have been bred to be larger to produce more meat, sheep have been bred to produce more wool, making them more susceptible to heatstroke and leading to the need to be sheared.
Animals are not ours to eat, wear or use in any capacity - they have their own lives to live, just like us.
These beautiful sheep live peacefully at one of the most incredible farm sanctuaries you will come across, Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge.
Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge provides lifelong care to rescued farm animals, educates people about the realities of animal agriculture, and promotes veganism by offering knowledge, support, and community.

This was done with a paintbrush. I benched in this same item about two years ago. Now that I have a better camera, I am glad I caught it again. The photo of the first time I benched this can be found: here.

Unlike many tribes around the world, the Himba don't make bread. Instead they use maize meal to make a porridge which forms a part of their staple diet. Aside from this, they eat the meat of their livestock (goats and cattle) and use the milk from both as well. To thank them for their hospitality we brought food. The Himba most appreciated the two goats we offered. The animals were immediately slaughtered and cut up. That very same evening we enjoyed a BBQ together... – Close to Van ZyL’S Pass, Kaokoland, Namibia.
