“How did it get so late so soon? It's night before it's afternoon. December is here before it's June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?” - Dr Seuss

Thanks for viewing my photo albums:
When we went ashore in the fjords of Scoresby Sund in Greenland, our small group of photographers was always accompanied by naturalists with rifles, on the lookout for polar bears. Bears are hungry this time of year before ice formation, which allows them to go out to hunt seals. Fortunately for us and the bears no close encounters occurred. I photographed one of our naturalists silhouetted against the mountains and reflected in a freshwater pond as he stood on guard on top of a rocky hill.

Get the evidence.
"A picture is worth a thousand words" is an adage in multiple languages meaning that complex and sometimes multiple ideas can be conveyed by a single still image, which conveys its meaning or essence more effectively than a mere verbal description.
But can you trust it? Photographic chicanery has been going on almost since photography was invented. Back in the days of film, plates and chemicals it took longer than "Photoshop" does - but it was still possible.

Back in September
In the Brookside pub,
Windermere.
Watching Burnley beat Leeds United 1-0 at Elland road.
There were two football matches on the TV’s (I asked if they’d put the Burnley game on)
We’d previously phoned two other pubs to ask if they were showing the Burnley game, they weren’t. One of them mentioned that the Brookside might be! Bingo… only a five minute walk from our accommodation too!
The Burnley game and the Manchester United game were being shown.
My brother in law and nephew watched the Man Utd game, my father in law kept an eye on both games, I watched the Burnley game. We were all sat at the same table!
My nephew is 29 yo. Two pubs in Windermere wouldn’t serve him because they thought he was underage!!

Smoke Photo Art.
I made this one some time ago, but several others got in the way of it being released. I thought it was appropriately titled for this weekend, when many people have been watching the sky. Fortunately Hurricane Irene appears to have been pretty gentle.
A snippet of brutalist architecture. Definitely not to everyone’s taste - the picture or the architecture.
This shot made Explore many years ago, but I wasn't happy with it. I took this with my first digital camera, a little Kodak point and shoot, that took great pics for what it was, but wasn't good at all for low light shots, which this was because of the storm rolling in. Also, at only 7.1 megapixels, it had about half the detail or less that some of my other point and shoots have, and a whole lot less definition than my DSLR! That said, I caught shots with it that I haven't been able to since, like the three or four lightning shots I managed to capture that day!
This was taken at Veteran's Memorial Riverfront Park in South Daytona, FL, right on the Halifax River. The storm was a nasty one, but it took a long time to actually drop any rain. Meanwhile, I was all over town capturing some spectacular shots that I only wish I could have gotten with a better camera! This was my favorite of the day. I was that close to the egret, and it seemed to be watching the water as if to decide what to do while I was watching it. I loved the moodiness of the shot, and though I might have cropped it more to be more in keeping with the rule of thirds, doing so would have cut off the bottom of that cloud ridge that gives dimension to the sky. Some rules just have to be broken! I did crop it some, and I think it was effective.
Some of the post processing tools that I use now were unavailable to me when I first processed the shot. I think this is an improvement over the original edit, which is below under the original.
Another one from Berrow NR.
I've found a superb video of the 'Prolarva' of the Willow Emerald Damselfly emerging from the bark of a willow on YouTube.
Such an extraordinary life cycle for a damselfly... Something I hope to see next spring.

There is a specific kind of intelligence in the way a corvid moves. This one seemed entirely unfazed by the wind picking up, meticulously picking its way across the rock face. The feathers caught just enough light to show their structure against the soft, diffused grey of the clouds. A brief, quiet moment of nature’s drama.
