The guide stoop at Deadshaw Sick on Big Moor. The top 12" of the post was damaged by gunfire during WW II.
This was a real test, i wanted to keep the outline as much like the on that priz gave me. but put my own funk in it as well.. . these colours were the cans i didnt use on the last piece. so i only had whats on the wall.. I was worried about the colours all day. in the end i think it came together well.. I made it grimey and had to accept what the can gave me.. it was a raw experience...i had fun doing all the detials and getting scared i was gonna fuck them up!..
Low tide and a sheller performing the Sanibel Stoop on Sanibel Island. Low tides and early morning bring out the shellers in droves. Some even go out before day light (as the case here) with a light on their head in order to get the shells. You know what they say - the early bird gets the shell :-).

Not exactly Ansel Adam's Jeffery Pine on Sentinel Dome but; its probably as close as I'll ever come.
And into the middle of the rainbow he goes, tucking the wings in a little more tighter. I have one more frame of him going super-sonic. lol

Gum over cyanotype. A nice dense cyanotype layer with one coat of (edit) burnt umber gum bichromate. FA hot press paper. Another one that's been stewing in a drawer since January.
I may not have wrote all the words I wanted to, the other day
Thousands more could have filled the page
I may never be able to express how I truly feel
Sitting on your stoop, waiting for you
Another historic site and for someone who likes their history I had to come and see it. This is a very impressive broch, and to enter it you have to stoop very low and once inside you can see how compact it is. It is thought to have been built during Roman occupation of Britain about 400AD.
While walking into the amazing Cathedral Gorge in the Bungle Bungles at Purnululu National Park, we were stooped for a few instructions and this little beauty landed on a twig near us. Got a quick shot off expecting it to fly off quickly, but it didn't, so changed lens and 'smacko' - here is the result. it was still there when we left! A right place, right time shot!
A record short and a total first for me this male sparrowhawk stooped like a peregrine I actually thought it was one until I looked at cam am still gobsmacked .Don't know the outcome of the stoop as it disappeared behind woods !!
St. Margaret's-at-Cliffe, Kent.
During level flight, with motion generated by wing-beats alone, they can reach speeds between 40-60 mph. This is one of the fastest known speeds for level flight with only a few species of duck, wader and pigeon known to reach similar speeds in comparable flight.
Birds of prey often use a controlled dive known as a stoop whilst hunting. This hunting technique is amongst the most spectacular of wildlife behaviour across the animal kingdom.
The actual speed that a peregrine reaches in a stoop will be effected by the wind speed and duration of the dive, which will vary in every situation. Because of these variables there is not a confirmed top speed however it is thought that it is possible for a peregrine in ideal conditions to reach speeds of up to 200 mph which is phenomenal.
