Picture of the Day
I've always been a little jealous of West Coast photographers, with their coast and mountains that haven't been flattened by the extreme glaciation we experienced here in Maine. Things are just more dramatic out there. I had never seen a sea stack in Maine outside of Monument Cove in Acadia, so finding this hidden gem was pretty exciting. I photographed it before about a few months ago, but the light wasn't stellar and I didn't have a good composition. As things lined up for what promised to be a great light show yesterday afternoon, I planned to come back and shoot sunset here. My brother said he would come with me, so off we went.
We arrived with seconds to spare to get set up and catch the best light. As things started going off, Zander said he could get up on the pinnacle and model for me. I said sure, but there didn't seem to be a good way to get up. I offered to do it myself and have him press the shutter, but he said 'f' it and started to clamber up what was an insanely difficult rock problem. He made it, I tripped the shutter, and captured one of my favorite photos in a long time.
I spent a nice morning shooting the amazing rock formations at Duncansby Head near John O’Groats. It was cold and windy and threatened rain but worth it to get a nice patch of colour in the sky and a nice infusion of warmth as the sun finally rose.
A trio of eastbound trains were chilling at Fort Madison waiting on a signal while the Mississippi River bridge was open to allow a tow barge through.
As soon as the bridge closed, Santa Fe would give clear signals to their trains and eventually give one to the Southern Pacific trackage rights train.
A sea stack is a large stack of rock in the sea that looks like a tall stone tower, separated from the main shoreline. They can occur wherever there is a water body and a cliff. Sea stacks can be found on all seven continents, and each highlights a subtle difference in how they are formed. Famous examples exist everywhere from Australia to Ireland, Iceland, and Russia. Some of them are long and flat, while others are tall, thin, and pointed.
Coastal erosion or the slow wearing of rock by water and wind over very long periods of time causes a stack to form. All sea stacks start out as part of nearby rock formations. Over millennia, wind and waves break the rock down. The force of the two creates cracks in the stone, and, little by little, cracks become chips, which fall off the main rock.
When enough chips fall off, holes are created that extend from one rock outcrop side to the other. Eventually, the wind and water break through to the other side, creating a cave or arch. Over many more generations, this arch also falls away, separating one part of the rock from the original cliff, resulting in the sea stack.
Just when you need a wide-angle lens you realise that you've only brought along the tele-zoom! Then I remembered my phone - I'm not a great fan of phone cameras but I had no other option. Even though I only have a budget smartphone I was very surprised at how well this turned out.
Note the precipitous edge about a metre in front of where I was standing. South Stack is definitely not a place for young children!
Best viewed large.

Someone (not me) had created over a dozen piles of pebbles and stones on the beach and fallen tree trunks. They make for some interesting shots I think :)

To find wild, rugged landscapes where very few people explore you don’t need to leave the UK. Just head north, about as far as you can go.
Think about the numbers; there are 10 million people living inside the M25, an area about the same size as the Isle of Skye on the West Coast of Scotland. In all of Scotland there are only 5.5 million people and 3.5 million of these people live in the central belt. Around the coast of the far north of Scotland you are in for a rare treat. Endless sea cliffs with amazing rock in a wild landscape - with nobody else around for miles - offering as much adventure as you’ll ever need. And then there’s the sea stacks to make it even more fun!
Bread stacked on roast beef on emmantal cheese on bread, with butter and mustard layered in-between. And very nice it was too!
Not everyone likes them but these small stacks dot the trails in Great Smoky Mountain Nat'l Park. Someone made an extra effort to stack these in the middle of Big Creek.

In the background are whole radishes and sweet peas in their pods. Both are in baggies from the fridge.
This focus stacked macro image of a model railroad was created from 46 large raw files, blended in Photoshop. In order to be able to automate the photography to get a precise sequence of focused photographs under the control of my camera, I had to buy a new, electronically compatible macro lens (Nikon 105 mmf2.8 macro).
Sadly, my older Sigma EX 105 mm f 2.8 macro lens lacked the required electronics for this function. If anyone is looking for a terrific, used macro lens at a great price, please drop me a Flickr email. The lens is in perfect condition and produces sharp, high quality macros and doubles as a great portrait lens. You can see examples of the images I made with it in my flower and insect albums:

These termite mounds are only a few minutes from my Dundee Beach block in the Northern Territory of Australia. I captured this image using the focus stacking app on my Nikon D850, it consists of 17 images that I rendered using Helicon Focus 7 software.
Very cold but dry morning. Initially light was hazy but then cleared with the sun. A beautiful morning and wrapped to enjoy!

This sea stack is at Downpatrick Head, County Mayo and is on the Wild Atlantic Way. We drove part of this route last week and will be going back for more in the not too distant future.
