With a bit of patience and timing, the natural world provides some stunning photographic opportunities - like this giraffe perfectly placed against a yellow moon.
Setting up for a shot of the moon and this plane landing at the Van Nuys Airport got in the way. (Looking for more interruptions like this.)
I was out last week hunting for sites for Our Daily Challenge on "in the distance" and look what I stumbled upon....a new fence! I've shot trumpet vines for HFF before, but never on an honest-to-goodness wooden white fence. Swoon! And the bee was an added bonus. Wasn't he nice to zoom into the frame just as I released the shutter?!
Happy Fence Friday!

- www.kevin-palmer.com - Not far off the coast of Ventura, the boat went through a pod of dolphins. I've never photographed dolphins before, but I found it very tricky to get the timing and focus right.
The weather was glorious during a summer holiday taken on the Isle of Wight during July 1990. Seen here en route to Alum Bay is Southern Vectis 510 (VOD 595S) . This Bristol VRT/SL3/6LXB / ECW was new in July 1978 as Western National 575. It later served for Devon General before joining the Vectis fleet in 1987.

“Life is all about timing... the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable become available, the unattainable... attainable. Have the patience, wait it out It's all about timing.”
I actually had to take a break every minute from looking at the screen while processing as the blur made me dizzy but i kind of like it because of it :).

My journey to Glacier Point was delayed for a couple hours due to heavy rain in the area but I kept on my way despite the timing. The forecast indicated that the clouds might clear out later that evening and I thought there could be a chance to take advantage of the full moon. Sure enough, just after midnight the full moon started to break through and illuminated the towering Half Dome and the valley below with its silvery glow.
I've mentioned the crowds at the national parks before but one sure way to avoid them is to show up in the middle of the night. You'll have the world all to yourself (except for the three deer and the coyote that ran by me in the darkness - fun!). The park's water falls were miles away yet you could still hear their roar echoing throughout the silent park without the distraction of 100 other nearby conversations. As the night grew later and the clouds continued to scatter Half Dome's white granite frame beautifully reflected the moonlight and it appeared distinct and resolute against the darkness. It is a special spot and Glacier Point remains one of my favorite places in the world.
Despite the tough start to the evening it turned out to be a magical night for making photos.
The timing was perfect as all the girls were arranging where they would be standing when Peter pulled up and signaled for me. My first reaction was the girls must have thought we were related but I could see them watching my every move. I spoke to him in English and asked him if he wanted a date? He said “yes” and I gave him a high price in response to his question to lay the groundwork for the rest of the night. If the girls heard how much I wanted then as I brushed off the other “clients” they would not become suspicious. They may not speak French but they understand Swiss Francs. I got in the car and we drove off out of the district for 30 minutes. One pastry and coffee later, a few pictures and we were back. I looked every bit a pro as I reapplied my lipstick which I had previously whipped off. The girls looked and spoke amongst themselves.

Inexperience, timing, camera settings and clouds diffusing the sun corona all conspired to making the conditions to capturing yesterday’s total eclipse second and third contact diamond rings less than ideal. I was unable to shoot the second contact ring but managed to get a couple of shots of the third contact taken only 8 seconds apart although the optimal diamond ring might have occurred between the two shots. Also clearly seen in the images, are red prominences shooting into space but arching back towards the sun’s surface, unlike the more energetic and much larger solar flares (not seen here) blasting into space and appearing as white light.
The timing of Tim Davie’s resignation couldn’t be worse for the BBC.
Discussions on the renewal of its charter have just commenced, while the licence fee is expected to rise to £181 next year. In a world of increasing competition, the BBC looks vulnerable. It could all now get very, very messy.
In his resignation statement, Mr Davie, the director-general, insisted he was going because of “the very intense personal and professional demands of managing this role over many years in these febrile times”.
BBC sources were adamant – though the claim is scarcely credible given the timing – that his departure was not linked to The Telegraph’s reporting on bias exposed in a 19-page memo including the doctoring of a speech by Donald Trump, anti-Israel reporting and downplaying gender-critical issues.
But Deborah Turness, the chief executive of BBC News, admitted the Telegraph disclosures had done for her. She told staff in her resignation email: “As the CEO of BBC News and Current Affairs, the buck stops with me – and I took the decision to offer my resignation to the director-general last night.”
The resignations of two top executives at the BBC, in part over a misleading edit of a Donald Trump speech, have catapulted the UK’s most important creative and journalistic organisation into one of the most serious crises in its history. A gleeful US president has threatened to sue the broadcaster for $1bn, and is celebrating the “firing” of “very dishonest people” from what his press secretary calls a “leftist propaganda machine”.

Snow geese migrate in the fall, leaving their breeding grounds in September and October. The timing of migration depends on weather conditions such as the first snowfalls and formation of ice. Flocks begin arriving at wintering grounds in October and November. They spend the winter months in large concentrations, foraging in wetlands and agricultural fields across the southern US and Mexico. In early spring, as temperatures start to warm, the geese make the return trip north to their Arctic breeding areas. This northward migration generally happens March through May

Had I been late by a couple of minutes or positioned differently, I would not have been able to capture this. Indeed, everything is about the Perfect Timing.
Good timing was the reason behind this photo, I had been after an AR8 for a considerable time so was very pleased to finally see one. Lots and lots of older vans in Palermo, all still working as well.
Revelation 6:1-8
Then I saw the lamb open one of the seven seals and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a thunderous voice, 'Come!' And look! There was a white horse and its rider had a bow and a crown like a conqueror, and he rode out to conquer. When the lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, ‘Come’. And another horse came out, fiery red. Its rider was commissioned to take peace from the earth and make men slaughter each other. He was given a big sword. When the lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, 'Come!' And look! There was a black horse and its rider had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, 'A quart of wheat for a day’s pay, and three quarts of barley for a day’s pay, but do not damage the olive oil and the wine!’ When the lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature say, 'Come!’ I looked and there was a sickly pale horse and its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed behind him. They were given authority to kill one quarter of the earth's population. By sword, by famine, by plague, and by the wild animals of the earth.
For a long time I’ve wanted to portray the four horsemen of the apocalypse. They are probably the most iconic figures from the book of Revelation despite being mentioned once. It’s because they symbolize the problems that humanity has faced since its existence, which makes them so timeless. Also, I am not posting this in related to current events. This was done and photographed weeks before. The timing is just terrible.
I always have my camera on the seat next to me, ready for anything! Today, I'm heading south on I-57, about to go under the KB&S former Big 4 viaduct, when I see the KB&S Kankakee turn headed to Kankakee. The odds were in my favor to capture this shot!

After 18 months without any real urbexing, just a little minor trespassing here and there, I resolve to photograph an abandoned psych hospital. I roll up and there’s maybe 5,000 firefighters in the neighborhood for a funeral of one their own killed on a military mission, while a few hundred police officers are directing traffic and using the hospital grounds for overflow parking.
What timing.
This is shot through a broken window, standing outside in completely legal manner.
And maybe soon there'll come a day
When no more tears will fall
We each forgive a little bit
And we both look back on it
It's just bad timing that's all
