I had a great day following the wonderful rivers in the neath valley, chasing waterfalls. I managed to do my usual trick of losing a filter, then tracing my steps till I found it again. Only 200 yards away thankfully. I was then like Bambi on ice as I did a mad dance on the ultra slippy wet algae covered rocks. All in all a fantastic time. Falling slowly by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova is obvious, but it should probably be falling very suddenly, luckily I never hit the deck.

Slow down; God is still in heaven. You are not responsible for doing it all yourself, right now.

I have watched the rivalry between these herons for a few weeks now. In this instance, the Black-crowned Night Heron was fishing from it's favorite rock minding it's own business. As I watched, the Great Blue Heron slowly crept out of the shadows, getting ready to pounce on the other heron. The Black-crowned must of heard the other coming and suddenly burst into fright flight.

... Sometimes in life your mind starts going into overdrive. Too many thoughts, too fast and too vivid starting to overwhelm you. In times like these grabbing a good bottle or two, finding some peace and quiet to help your mind slow down once more ...

Took the camera and co to the beach tonight. Still trying to learn the ropes of LE with neutral density filters. Have had them for a long time but could never quite get a handle on them.

See the behind the scenes shot to this www.flickr.com/photos/jyy_sue/39359419334/in/dateposted-p... or you can click to my next shot :)

This Aldabra Giant Tortoise, photographed at Melbourne Zoo, is my entry for the Definitely Dreaming week 12 theme of "Slowly".

This small snail is on a 100 year old book I'm afraid it may be another hundred years before it makes it across.

Actually, it was pretty stressful trying to keep up with it while it was going. :)

This snail was making slow progress, hampered by the dense grass. And my photography was also hampered by our cat Mini, who climbed onto my back as I crouched down, camera in hand, and refused to get off again! We must have looked a strange sight!

Thanks for visiting :)

A blast from the past, a road side sign from 2006. I liked it then, and I like it still. You never know what's waiting just around the corner ...

Tyndall Creek & Longs Peak

Rocky Mountain National Park, CO

I think I've finally captured my favorite shot of the year, so far! I've scouted this spot many times on the way to and from Dream Lake. Last week, I finally took a chance and went to capture the shot I've had in my head for a while now. As I arrived to Rocky on this morning, there wasn't a cloud in the sky. I was disappointed, but I hurried up to this spot and waited for the sun to rise. As the sun was reaching the horizon, these clouds began to slowly form over Longs. I got pretty excited as they began to light up and complete my composition. I used a 2 stop medium grad to help balance the exposure out. Even with the filter, I was barely keeping everything within the histogram. I bracketed my exposures to be safe, but when I got home, I was able to process this from one exposure. I'm excited about this image. Can't wait to get back out for more, waitin' for a good sunrise forecast.

Thanks for reading!

Slow Sunday is a day of reflection and reconnection.

Inspired by the Beatle's song "Slow Down"; this is a shot of a vintage Metronome de Maelzel by Seth Thomas Clock Co. A metronome is a mechanical or electrical instrument that makes repeated clicking sounds at an adjustable pace, used for marking rhythm, especially in practicing music.

This metronome is set at the Largo (very slow tempo) setting - HMM

looks like it'll be a few more days before we can safely leave the house....frozen sleet covering everything....almost fell twice going out to the streetside mail box......results after 3 hours of melting.

The penultimate shot before I packed away and found refuge in the car as the temperature was dropping. It was incredible seeing the sky clearing and getting beautiful purples and reds and oranges out of nowhere on an evening that looked dreich and uneventful. Definitely a location that I will be going back as there are many more shots to be taken and a lesson that I keep forgetting. Even if it doesn’t look promising and the forecast is bad go out, you don’t know what will happen. Special thanks to my friend for patiently waiting for one more click, or 10...

There is something interesting about long exposure photography and I love doing it. Whether or not it's light trails or slowing the motion of water, it really changes a scene. Kris..
