Taken on a magical early morning walk after surprise overnight snow when we were staying at Hanmer Springs.

The dark shapes of these overhanging trees gave a great range of grey tones, as well as a somewhat menacing atmosphere.
The perfect view, perfect timing, the end result of a week of coordination in order for me to be in the right place to get this photo. I waited until the last chance I could get to drive to Stone Mountain before the time change. The park opens at 8am, which is 20 minutes after sunrise, at least it is for a few more days. I got there on time, and hard hiked up Wolf Rock mountain, trying to get photos right after sunrise. The rock pics didn't turn out anywhere near what I had hoped, the shadows and solar glare made them all light and shadows to the point of the trees being too dark to make out and the sun being to bright to be able to lighten the photos without being painful to look at.
But when I got to this place along the way, the crest of the mountaintop above Wolf Rock itself (The trees are thinned out here due to the lack of soil above what is on its way to becoming be a heather bald, then a stone dome Like Stone Mtn across the valley.) I looked up and was simply stunned. I thought at the time that this will be the most remarkable photo I have ever taken. Everything was perfect; the colors, the sun, the trail...its a picture that tells a thousand stories, and all of them have a happy ending. I will look at this and remember what true peace and beauty is like. I am happy I can share this with you, and I hope you know a little of that for yourself, from the viewing.
I first saw these trees from a distance a couple of days beforehand. They looked so wonderful on the skyline that I wanted to go back and see them closer to. They make such lovely strong shapes.
Mild panic set in this morning at Cherry Tree near Blackburn as 6E32 did not move off Preston Docks at the allotted time.
Had the shot all lined up in superb conditions but a decision would have to be made ... abort this in favour of Clitheroe Cement Tanks at Newsholme??? Left it as long as I dared and it showed up finally as leaving 45L and actually made good time to here passing at 60 mph 29L. Happy Days.
Pole @ 4m.
Taken on the same night as "Clear but Windy" www.flickr.com/photos/pbrphoto1/12429119954/ .
This one was taken from next to my swag while I slept, waiting for the alarm to go off just before dawn, and was for about 3-4 hours.
The light on the left of the tree is from the waning crescent moon that rose around 2am.
Kowa Six with the standard 85mm f2.8 lens, hence the narrower angle of view. Fuji Neopan Acros homeprocessed in Rodinal 1+50 for 14 minutes.
Not sure about this one. I had to do something else than buildings for a while and this one is a "love or hate" kind of shot for me.
LOVE or HATE?
This great tree has been a bit of an obsession for me to try and do justice to. I have returned here many times now and come away with nothing I felt happy with.
I was passing by it after taking the image of my neighbour sitting on the bench in the loch and noticed the the light was good and there was a light covering of snow all adding to the soft light and mood.
I left him warming up in the van and grabbed a couple of shots.
Hope you like the image and please critique or comment if you have time as I greatly appreciate feed back
Very stormy night and morning Sunday, but no more damage to the old tree. It was still windy on my latest visit to the Swedish Whitebeam and not surprisingly no one else around.
I took this shot in my final year in Canada. That day was the quintessential autum day. Cool, crisp air, clear blue sky, fiery colours. All a reminder that, "winter is coming!"
Picture taken at Frenchman’s Cove in Jamaica which is a private beach with very few people, it is very beautiful and gave a relaxing break on a day trip which we enjoyed very much.
