I used an old fry pan to attach my tripod head to, which I then attached my lens collar to, in order to get a low shot at water's edge.

The story about the photo: I chose the place on the map. I looked at the rivers and their courses and was convinced that it would be an area worth seeing. Now I tried to find a road connection and off we went on our motorbike 40 km south of Khao Lak. The roads were not quite as charming as they looked on the map. Khao Lak is lined with a wide network of roads with a highway feel. But we ended up in a tiny fishing village where presumably no tourist had ever been. But we were kindly welcomed and I was able to fly my drone.
Ich wählte den Ort auf der Karte aus. Ich sah mir die Flüsse und ihre Verläufe an und war überzeugt, dass es ein sehenswertes Gebiet sein würde. Nun versuchte ich, eine Straßenverbindung zu finden, und wir fuhren mit dem Motorrad 40 km südlich von Khao Lak los. Die Straßen waren nicht ganz so reizvoll, wie sie auf der Karte aussahen. Khao Lak ist von einem breiten Straßennetz gesäumt, das an eine Autobahn erinnert. Aber wir landeten in einem winzigen Fischerdorf, in dem vermutlich noch nie ein Tourist gewesen war. Aber wir wurden freundlich empfangen und ich konnte meine Drohne fliegen lassen.
Thank you for your visits, fave and group awards!
Have a nice weekend!

Swarovski used to make a lovely range of beads ... and I collected a few of each design I thought might photograph well. These are among my favourites. Called 'brilliants' they create all kinds of colours when the light hits them. These are tiny, about 8mm cubes.

Today's sunset at Lake Tahoe was exceptional. It was raining in the south, and there where beautiful clouds in the north. I took this shot a few miles south of Incline Village on the East side of the lake 15 minutes after sunset.
I used an ND filter and f8 for a 30 sec exposure to smoothen out the waves. The ND filter gives the scene s slight pink tone. I processed a balanced HDR photo from a single RAW exposure.

Was using my macro lens today for some try and error...did not use it since long...probaly should use it more often..take care, cheers, Udo.
This was just me using my new camera when I first got it, testing how it does on my wide angle lens so I thought I'd see if I could catch some stars, mind the crappy light pollution : (
8 x 3 photo pano done in Sequator and stitched in Lightroom
Also I use to come to this area to do a lot of my focus stack macros but when I arrived this time I see they put up a fence around where I use to go, I didn't expect this and it made the compo bad !!

We use our big toes to give us balance when we walk. Apes use their counter-opposing big toes to grab branches when in trees. Scientists believe that our big toe was the last to evolve.

Llamas are used at Machu Picchu as a natural way to keep the grass low. If you get near the edge of a ledge, be sure to know where the llamas are because they can move quickly. Three of them unexpectedly brushed by me on a ledge; luckily they pinned me to the wall as they went by on the outside edge.
Betagan - a medicine used to control glaucoma. This has no preservative so after use, the plastic container has to be discarded. I suppose that we humans have to accept that there will be some some single use items we can't do without. I recycle these so I hope they go to be melted down and made into other things.
I have used this location for two other photographs....so I do find something about it very interesting and attractive.
...using a "vintage lens" where everything must be done manually.
Ah, for the good old days ;) 55mm f/2.8 Micro-Nikkor lens
Thanks for looking at the wild daisies.
I haven't used my drone very often this year, mainly because my other camera was more inviting, but maybe coming winter I will use my drone more often.
One of the nice things of a drone is that you can picture structures from height that you otherwise wouldn't see.
That is easy seeable with this picture of the "Ijsseleye".
The IJsseleye is an artificial island in the Ketellake (Ketelmeer, province of Flevoland, the Netherlands) used as a depository to store polluted silt. Most of the polluted silt was deposited in the Ketelmeer by the IJssel river between 1950 and 1990. Removal of silt soil from the Ketelmeer lake also aims to deepen the channel leading to the mouth of the IJssel to at least a depth of 3.5 m (11.5 ft), thus aiming to improve access to the river for navigation.

Cleopatra’s Island, also known as Sedir Adasi sits on the gulf of Gokava in the Marmaris peninsula. A popular destination steeped in urban legends of romance and passion, its name stems from a love affair between two of history’s most prolific people.
Called Kedreae in ancient times, present day myths refer to when the exotic queen of Egypt, Cleopatra spent time in the region. Although the natural landscapes and turquoise-blue sea captivated her, she was missing her homeland.

There is an event every year in San Diego called December Nights which signals the start of the holiday season for us. Balboa Park is lit up with holiday lights and there is lots of food, drinks and music. There is also a carnival which is the subject of this image.
