Japanese Friendship Garden Balboa Park, San Diego. I'm participating in the "no flower challenge" which means for at least 5 days I can't post a flower shot. It's actually easier than I thought.
Watched the first dragon boat race of the day at the Arundel festival. As can be seen the paddlers were inexperienced and had difficult keeping time.
“Photography is a response that has to do with the momentary recognition of things. Suddenly you’re alive. A minute later there was nothing there. I just watched it evaporate. You look one moment and there’s everything, next moment it’s gone. Photography is very philosophical.” – Joel Meyerowitz
I finally got a shot that I have wanted to get for a long time. One on the list you can say. The difficulty has always been that if you are a very early morning commuter you know that a 5-10 minute delay could really mean 30 plus minutes of congestion later along with finding safe parking around train tracks. This morning I lucked out. The sunrise was coming up, the light was on the rails and I had a camera with me, well an iPad. I still envision getting this shot differently but for now I'm happy that I still can chase that light.
A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 is caught leaving Las Vegas (McCarran) Airport.
I just caught it as it was about to disappear from view. A fraction of a second earlier or later would have produced an entirely different picture.

Rhodes(Greek: Ρόδος, Ródos, IPA: [ˈro̞ðo̞s]; Italian: Rodi; Ottoman Turkish: ردوس Rodos; Ladino: Rodi or Rodes) is a Greek island approximately 18 kilometers (11 mi) southwest of Turkey in eastern Aegean Sea. It is the largest of the Dodecanese islands in terms of both land area and population, with a population of 117,007[2] of which 53,709 resided in the homonymous capital city of the island.
Historically, Rhodes was famous worldwide for the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The medieval Old Town of the City of Rhodes has been declared a World Heritage Site. Today Rhodes is a tourist destination.
The island of Rhodes is shaped like a spearhead, 79.7 km (49.5 mi) long and 38 km (24 mi) wide, with a total area of approximately 1,400 square kilometers (541 sq mi) and a coastline of approximately 220 km (137 mi). The city of Rhodes is located at the northern tip of the island, as well as the site of the ancient and modern commercial harbors.
In the 1st century AD, the Emperor Tiberius spent a brief term of exile on Rhodes, and Saint Paul brought Christianity to the island. Rhodes reached her zenith in the third century, and was then by common consent the most civilized and beautiful city in Hellas. In 395, the long Byzantine Empire period began for Rhodes, when the Roman Empire was split and the eastern half gradually became a Greek empire. Although part of Byzantium for the next thousand years, Rhodes was nevertheless repeatedly attacked by various forces. It was first occupied by Muslim forces of Muawiyah I in 672. Much later, Rhodes was retrieved for the Byzantine Emperor Alexius I Comnenus during the First Crusade.
In 1309 the Byzantine era came to an end when the island was occupied by forces of the Knights Hospitaller. Under the rule of the newly named "Knights of Rhodes", the city was rebuilt into a model of the European medieval ideal. Many of the city's famous monuments, including the Palace of the Grand Master, were built during this period.
The strong walls which the Knights had built withstood the attacks of the Sultan of Egypt in 1444, and of Mehmed II in 1480. Ultimately, however, Rhodes fell to the large army of Suleiman the Magnificent in December 1522, long after the rest of the Byzantine empire had been lost. The few surviving Knights were permitted to retire to the Kingdom of Sicily. The Knights would later move their base of operations to Malta. The island was thereafter a possession of the Ottoman Empire for nearly four centuries.
I know most of you are only interested in photos of me dressed up but I thought I'd share something a little different today ;)
This is from late May 2017 (pretty much the one hot and dry spell that year, which was great timing) when my mother, sisters and I spent a few days walking up by Hadrian's Wall. This is from the first evening when we arrived at Hayden Bridge (our starting point) after travelling by train all day.
My wife and I had been chasing this eastbound empty coal train on the Ex-NP MRL from Plains, MT. There were numerous showers in the area. We got to Marent Trastle (highest on the NP) and waited...and waited. A minute before the train arrived, clouds had obscured the sun. I could see sunlight starting to creep up the trestle bents, but would it get to rail level before the train? The answer is obvious. Better lucky than good.
I had been in a pasture exploring the old yellow barn and fighting off "LOTS" of these little buggers, get back in my car and see that this one hitched a ride!

When you choose to surf off the rocks at Burleigh Heads, you have to choose your moment...carefully...
Finally caught him backlit after many missed shots. Flashpoint 200 behind him on a tripod and a 600 on the fence behind me, both set at 1/4 power.
...IMHO ie timing
Good music needs space and timing not just noise.
My favourite portrait from the session

When hunting pics in a fog requires timing for the light you are looking for, even if you have to wait for it.
View large to see the bird in the shot... heres a clue, I am in the process of testing the trial version of Photoshop CS5...
Please stop by and view my new website and blog....

When you want to see the Changing of the Guards at Amalienborg Palace.
Or you wander around Copenhagen and decide to have a look at the Place when suddenly there are loads of people and police and there's music....
"The Ceremony
At Amalienborg Palace, the royal residence in Copenhagen, the Royal Guard, mounted by the Kongelige Livgarde (Kings Life Guard)is on duty for 24 hours.
The size of the Guard and musical support is dependant on who is in residence at Amalienborg Palace:
Kongevagt (King's Watch) when the Monarch is in residence the Guards are accompanied by the Royal Guards music band.
Løjtnantsvagt (Lieutenant Watch) when Prince Henrik, Crown Prince Frederik or Prince Joachim are residing at Amalienborg in the capacity of regents the Guards are accompanied by flutes and drums.
Palævagt (Manor Watch) when the Crown Prince or Prince Joachim are in residence but not in the capacity of regents or the Palace is uninhabited the Guards march through Copenhagen without musical accompaniment."
So regarding to this (slightly outdated) article I was able to observe the Løjtnantsvagt. It was quite a show
On this site: www.kongehuset.dk/en/palaces-and-the-royal-yacht/changing...
you can read everything you need to know about the ceremony and a bit more....
When I had just gotten to the concours this morning lightning struck and we all had to wait out the rain indoors for a while. It began to sprinkle again after a couple of hours and I decided to head back home…. This is what the weather map looks like two hours later.
Dave was mending the engine... the afternoon sun catching the metal giving it a lovely glow..

I already posted a pic of this bird, but thought I'd try out some new grass brushes I downloaded. I also used a flood filter on this.
Thanks for taking a look!
Daily Shoot: Sunday challenge! Timing can make or break a photograph. Make a photograph today that has to be timed just right to work.
I was walking around the beach in Waikiki, getting shots of surfers and waves crashing on the jetties when I turn around and see this... fineartamerica.com/profiles/1-jason-jacobs.html
I wasn't sure what to title this one.
Taken with my Canon 50D and Sigma 105 Macro, handheld. JPEG from the camera, reduced in Photoshop by 50%.
The perspective was deliberate ... The central core of the Lanes shopping complex in Carlisle. The building has a full height central atrium, and clerestory glazing lights the three floors of the interior.
There was a lot of this happening and it's fun getting the timing right! Trying out a pre-loved Tamron 150-600mm lens at the local Osprey nest. Quite pleased with it so far. I've seen the previous owners shots so know its potential. The Osprey pair are doing well, the male brought in a fish, landing gently on the nest, then took off again and dive bombed crows in the vicinity. The female appeared to be feeding young, but no heads apparent above the nest yet.
I took this shot in Panama City Beach this fall. I love it when the timing of a shot works out just perfectly. Here is a Brown Pelican with a seagull nicely placed behind.

Missy was so good at sniffing out abandoned tennis balls and now it looks as if she passed her skills onto her friend Tasku.
It helps a lot that I can still walk with Tasku and Taivas A forest walk is not the same without a dog to share it with.
