Photo #1 of my 20 Day Challenge
Daytime Long Exposure in colour
I finished nightshift this morning and headed straight to Muchalls for some 10 stop photography. I previously photographed "The Old Man of Muchalls" sea stack a few months ago so this was a revisit. I knew from my tide times app that the tide would be out which allowed me to do a good bit of exploring in this bay of varying types of rocks boulders and stacks. The Old man was completely out of the water so I will return another evening to get a shot of that stack again. I settled on this smaller stack of which I am unsure of its name. To make it a bit different I mounted the camera on a tiny 6" Manfrotto tripod and the sea was literally lapping in at its feet! Its so rocky down here its hard work getting around its like proper exploring. I am on leave from work for 20 days so I have decided to attempt to do a photo a day whilst im on leave. This of course being photo #1. There is a wealth of information about Muchalls bay and there are many features that will make great photos given the correct conditions of course. A favourite togging location of mine now as it has so much potential.
Last night's clear sky forecast coinciding with a new moon meant that it was a perfect night for astrophotography.
I headed to the south Pembrokeshire coast where I bagged quite a few Milky Way images including this one over Elegug Stacks. I got home at 7am this morning and have been basically a zombie all day - worth it for an incredible experience shooting the night sky at one of the most scenic places in Wales. Great to see Dwayne Jones Photography out shooting last night too.

****Thanks for all the interest everyone ;)

BNSF 6329 leads the H-GALMEM1 21A as it leaves Old Monroe, MO. on the BNSF Hannibal Sub.
Wrong leader of course....
Train was symbolled as an H train and the rear half was actually freight. Not sure why the occasional GALMEM runs with stacks but its a nice change.
This 300x2s stacked image was lightened in Photoshop. Fire Skies are one of the best uses of this type of post-processing. In this equivalent 10 minute exposure a passing car looks like several cars as a result of these short two second interval,

A better angle on the stacks - with the sun bright due south at noon, I walked further down the coast beyond them and looked back up north instead.
The sea stacks of Reynisdrangar in Iceland. I took shelter in the cave entrance for this composition whilst the rain and wind soaked... everything.

Stack Rock Fort.
Dai the Drone was with me while I did some work down in West Wales. Took my lunch at the Sandy Haven Beach car park and Dai took a quick flight out to see the Fort just off the shore.

South Stack is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular lighthouses, South Stack Lighthouse. It has a height of 41 metres (135 feet). It has a maximum area of 7 acres.
Until 1828 when an iron suspension bridge was built, the only means of crossing the deep water channel on to the island was in a basket which was suspended on a hemp cable. The suspension bridge was replaced in 1964, but by 1983 the bridge had to be closed to the public, due to safety reasons. A new aluminium bridge was built and the lighthouse was reopened for public visits in 1997. Thousands of people flock to the lighthouse every year, thanks to the continued public transport service from Holyhead's town centre.
There are over 390 stone steps down to the footbridge, and 10 metal steps (and not, as local legend suggests, 365), and the descent and ascent provide an opportunity to see some of the 8,000 nesting birds that line the cliffs during the breeding season. The cliffs are part of the RSPB South Stack Cliffs bird reserve, with a visitor centre, and bird hide at Elin's Tower. The tower provides a place to see Choughs, Peregrine falcon, Kestrel and various marine mammals like the Harbour porpoise seen at high tide, Grey seal, Risso's dolphin and Bottlenose dolphin.
It's nearly 40 miles of descending 1.25% grade from Mountainair to Belen, NM on the Belen Cutoff. Near the middle of it, the tracks traverse the narrow confines of Abo Canyon to squeeze through the Manzano Mountains.
Here, a short stack train rolls westward at Scholle as it prepares to enter Abo Canyon behind me. Scholle was the end of double-track from the east prior to BNSF opening a second main through the canyon in 2011.

As the storm neared it developed this double and then triple stacked shelf cloud. The core was getting mean looking, it was green but had been turned yellow by the reddish setting sun behind the storm. COOL!
Collywell Bay at Seaton Sluice, Northumberland, contains a cross bedded sandstone sea stack known as Charley's Garden.
I haven't been doing much macro photography lately, but this is a focus stacked image, of some plant, that came in a flower arrangement...I have no idea what it is, but I found it interesting. lol
Lighting was done by flashpoint 360 in a 28" octobox, camera right, and a bounce card, camera left. The gray background occurred naturally due to light fall off from the flash.
Stacked (comet center only), plus a few brush adjustments...came out much better than I initially expected (seeing conditions were pretty poor). Probably would have been better if I did it at 135 mm on Tuesday night, but it's something! DeepSkyStacker: 200 mm, f/2.8, 12800 ISO, 1.6 sec x 48 frames.
Brilliant! Shelley's crooked cake, conceived as a stack of doughnuts, with a coffee cup balanced precariously on top.
Winter light on Scotland's north east coastline with one of the Duncansby stacks.
Despite the clear skies there was a rim of cloud along the horizon preventing me from capturing the best light.
I counted about 15 seals with cubs on an inaccessible stretch of beach at the bottom of the cliffs. It was great watching their interactions. I was disappointed to see a number of large polystyrene chunks and other litter surrounding them
