Looking at this I think it was probably not taken with my 24mm lens but that's what I have in my notes.

Do You Realize? By Ursine Vulpine
Do you realize
That everyone you know someday will die?
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes
Let them know you realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Just to celebrate my 50mm -

Different view of the creek in back of my grandma's house. The water has dropped a lot since "Fallen" was taken.
I should really crop this down so the lights on the end of the pier stand out as the main focus but the pre-dawn colours were just beautiful and with the amount of effort that went into getting it...why not!
It wasn't all pleasantries to begin, clambering across extremely slippery rocks in the pitch black has never been one of my more accomplished talents and taking the obvious path down from the pier was barred with the gate being locked at this time of day.
And then there was the head lamp incident, which seemed such a good idea at first until every fly within a mile of the beach decided to hold a meeting right in front of my face reducing my vision even more than had I simply walked with my eyes shut!
But I made it in time to witness one of the most glorious displays of first light I've seen in years, such that I could not begin to know how to capture the full reality. Pantone 032 comes to mind but in my usual way I prefer to reduce saturation (-27), my device having already achieved more than I can handle for one day. Hopefully the mood is right even if it is only a slice!
Thank you for buzzing by :)

Slice
Chandratal Lake - one of the most frequented places among photographers visiting Himachal, has been shot a million times in its full glamour
"Wide angle at f8" is what a photographer would obviously think of as he gets the first visuals of the lake after 15 mins of easy trek
But, "telephoto at f8" is what I think when I look at majestic landscapes. I love shooting landscapes with Nikkor 70-200. Creating images that go beyond the usual is the challenge for any photographer and 70-200 can help you see and capture such gems. And here is an example
About Chandratal : literal meaning being moon shaped lake (Chandra means moon & tal means lake ) is situated at an altitude of 14000 ft and 8 KMs away from the Kunzum Pass in Spiti & Lahaul district of Himachal Pradesh, India and lies between a low himalyan ridge and the main Kunzum range. Boasting of a circumference of about 3 KMs, the crystal clear water of Chandra Tal Lake is one of the source of the violent Chandra river

This started out as a late afternoon time lapse movie, with individual shots taken every minute, until it got dark. But instead of a movie, I created this composite by taking one slice from each image. Here the time slices begin at the lower left (around 5:30pm) and go on toward the upper right, until it gets dark, a little after 9pm, a total of 215 pictures. The occasional dark strips correspond to times when the sun went behind a cloud. The hook shaped clouds arise from the clouds moving down toward the horizon as time moves to the right.
I thought I’d take a moment today to show what a “slice” of one of my snowflakes looks like, with just a few basic adjustments done in Lightroom to bring this to you. View Large!
Snowflakes are complex little crystals, and the best way to showcase this complexity is to get light to reflect off the surface of the snowflake. If the crystal was parallel to the focal plane in the camera to get most of it in focus, such lighting would be impossible as the light would need to originate from inside the camera lens itself to bounce back in the right direction for “surface glare”. Instead, the snowflake needs to be photographed on an angle.
There is about a five degree window where the surface reflection really shines and makes the snowflake sparkle, and I rotate the camera around the snowflake in order to get this angle exactly as needed. A few test shots and I usually find it, and then I continuously shoot hundreds of images of the same snowflake at all different “slices” of focus.
If the snowflake is on an angle like this, it reveals how truly shallow the depth of field is – fractions of a millimeter most of the time. An average of 40 frames are required to get focus from tip to tip, though the most I’ve done for a snowflake is 70. Photoshop does a decent job of aligning the images, but the geometry will never be perfectly connected due to shifts in perspective from one image to the next. The process of combining the images together automatically takes minutes, but applying all of the corrections takes hours.
For a larger snowflake like this one, I would probably spend 5-6 hours working on it; I may never edit this one in its entirety, however. One of the left branches is significantly broken just outside of the frame, so this one is lower on my priority list. I have well over 700 unedited snowflakes and I know I’ll never get to them all – so here’s a glimpse at some of the magic that remains locked away. Every new snowfall I shoot far more snowflakes than I can edit, and choose the best ones to work on for this series. For other projects if I need a special type of snowflake or to showcase a unique feature, I dig through my archives and bump a matching crystal higher in the list of ones to edit.
If you’re curious about the process that I go through with my snowflakes, in the field all the way through the post-processing workflow, I’ve got just the thing: www.skycrystals.ca/book/ - roughly a third of the 304pg hardcover book is dedicated to the photographic process that results in images like this. You’ll also find equal time spent discussing the science of snow and how these gems are created – it’s a book perfect for any naturalist or photographer!
Week 7: Intentional Colour Palette
I wanted to get a bright punch of colour in my submission this week. Anybody need a lime for their mojito?
