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.
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 lower unit of Double Stack Ruin with it's spiffy new heavy-duty fence. Must have been no picnic hauling that all the way in here.

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,

Today's challenge was a stacked still life. I felt pretty victorious when I got the penny and dime to stand up on the other flat coins without tape or glue. (Insert holding breath forever here).
Peekaboo!
Finally got my rear in gear and made an effort to find some insects.
Thing went well, I still feel I have stacks to learn though - For example a lot of the time getting my tripod into position was scaring the bugs away....Need better technique!
Today was also pretty windy. Most of my shots where of insects whizzing past the camera lens looking like a blur. But on occasion I was able to nail focus.
Also, because of the movement from wind I was MFing everything though the viewfinder. Hardly precision focusing. But again, take enough shots and eventually one will be okay ;)
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!
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
