A panorama stitch of the SY loco about to dump spoil from the Wulong deep mine into the vast pit that was the open cast coal mine at Fuxin. All history now - the open cast mine is worked out, and Wulong has closed too.

In Lower Sidestep Canyon. This large hoodoo looks like it's ready to go any time. I like the green caps near to the ground. Some of the hoodoos have green tops as well, but not in this photo.

A trip to the tip at Alloa to dump off loads of rubbish from clearing out my Mum's stuff, and general decluttering provided a surprise with this young Osytercatcher chick getting shown the ropes by its parent, just by the offices
Tip
Sometimes natural light is more than enough.
So always also shoot some images with the available light it might be that you don't need the strobes ;)
Nightowls Pittock Mansion Meetup, Portland, Oregon
I met up with the Nightowls for a Moonrise at the Pittock Mansion last night. We were promised a centered Moon above the tip of Mount Hood. I got out my big lens and zoomed right on in. I've wanted this for a long time so now it's one more thing I can check off my bucket list.
Happy Friday Everybody!
Tip:
Focussed light can be incredibly powerful. You can of course use a snoot but in most cases this will still give a bit too much light. Don't be afraid to use cardboard to block off even more of the light and really only "paint" the light where you want it.
Rome Villa dei Quintili - The Villa dei Quintili was the largest and most sumptuous residence of the Roman “subirmium”. The original nucleus belonged to the Quintili brothers, consuls in 151 AD and was enlarged when the villa became an imperial property under the emperor Commodus, who loved to live here in the peaceful countryside and in the thermal bath of the villa. The villa extends between the Via Appia Antica and the Via Appia Nuova and was built around a large square. The most imposing part of the building consists of the main rooms and those of the servants: a circular building, a series of rooms and the two large thermal rooms of the caldarium and the frigidarium with large windows, fourteen meters high and polychrome marble. The monumental complex overlooks the Roman countryside and offers a panorama that has inspired many famous artists over time.

It was worth a few nettle stings to get this shot of mating Orange Tips. The male on the left, the female on the right.
At the summit of Mount Washington, NH
The Tip-Top House is a historic former hotel in Mount Washington State Park in Sargent's Purchase, New Hampshire, United States. Built in 1853, it is the oldest surviving building in the summit area of Mount Washington, and is believed by the state to be the oldest extant mountain-top hostelry in the world. It features exhibits concerning the mountain's history.

It's taken me a long time to get a shot of a male orange tip with his wings open like this. As most of you will know they're always on the wing and rarely settled or they're found with their wings held upright when at rest. This one though obliged nicely allowing me the opportunity to take a few shots.
These are the real colours of the Purple Crested Turaco (Tauraco porphyreolophus) of Southern Africa. Except for slight saturation increase in the blue due my deliberate underexposure, this is as colourful as they are. Crazy right? The spectacular red primaries (feathers at wing tips) can only be seen when it is in flight. It has taken me 5 years of chasing in the wild to get a crisp and sunlit BiF of this species as they are shy and wary of humans and are mostly only seen in the forest canopy amongst the darkness of branches and leaves...
