Last evening's shot of the Andromeda Galaxy. The image is a composite of 15 one-minute exposures at ISO 3200 and setting the f-stop back one setting to f/6.3 from the default 5.6. Seems to have made a difference in the details. Too bad the moon was rising, it was a perfect night for imaging. Temperatures stayed above the dew point during the entire session.

Spring Mountain Ranch Nevada state park, in Red Rock Canyon is one of the beautiful places in the Mojave. This wonderful piece of heaven is only minutes away from Las Vegas, but a whole other would.
I used a Hoya Infrared (R72) filter to create this landscape image.
This dragonfly was seen this autumn at Lake Lotus Park in Altamonte Springs, Florida, USA. I like its blue - green eyes.
These vertical crops show a lot more detail in large size.

This tiny butterfly is only about the size of my pinky fingernail.
Open wing view in the first comment box below. (Click on the link below that says, "View ## previous comments.") This was the only time I've gotten an open wing shot of a Cassius Blue.
The plant is an Indigofera species.
Both photos were taken in autumn in my yard in Central Florida, USA

Happy 57th Birthday, Malaysia!
Please enjoy another aerial view of the metropolis that we know as Kuala Lumpur!
In the lower right of the image, you can see the curvature of the River Klang. A major highway flanks both sides of the Klang, where it will eventually meet its tributary, the River Gombak. The meeting of these two rivers is the foundation that gives Kuala Lumpur its name (“Muddy Confluence” in English).
I wish I had had more time to explore, but the memories and experiences were and continue to be unforgettable. In my most recent blog entry, I describe my encounter with the Malaysian military and the full experience of my aerial photography flight with the pilot who initially refused to land the plane upon my request. If you’re interested, the article is called, “A (Somewhat) Comedic Conflict of Cultures above Kuala Lumpur”.
Silakan! Jumpa lagi! / Enjoy! See you soon!

Washington, DC - The girls and I made good use of the Metro as we traveled between our Arlington Hotel and the DC Mall. I first captured this same view with my 16mm rectilinear lens but decided that the curved nature of the tunnel lines would better be recorded with my fisheye and I was quite happy with the result ...
L'acropoli è un termine (derivato dal greco ἄκρος "akros", alto, πὸλις "polis", città) che originariamente indicava la parte più alta della polis greca. Estendendone il significato, può essere chiamata "acropoli" la parte più eminente e fortificata di un'antica città.
Nella Grecia antica indicava quella parte della città che veniva costruita per ragioni difensive sulla sommità di un'altura e spesso cinta da mura. Iniziata a diffondersi nell'età del bronzo, la "parte alta" delle città greche, come Atene, in età micenea era il luogo di residenza del re, ma col tempo divenne il centro religioso dell'abitato, sede di templi e luoghi di riunione.

One of about 60 Swallow-tailed Kites that I saw one day last spring. They were feeding over some open fields along the Hernando County and Pasco County border in Central Florida, USA last May. It was a once in a lifetime experience seeing all of these graceful birds flying so close by.

Le Chrysler Building est un gratte-ciel situé à New York, aux États-Unis, et plus précisément à l’intersection de la Lexington Avenue et de la 42e rue, dans le quartier de Midtown dans l'arrondissement de Manhattan. D'une hauteur de 319 mètres jusqu'à la pointe de sa flèche, il fut la plus haute structure du monde, après la tour Eiffel (324m), en 1930 et 1931, jusqu'à la construction de l'Empire State Building.
En 2005, un sondage du Skyscraper Museum auprès de personnes dont le métier est lié à l'architecture a fait ressortir le Chrysler Building comme étant leur gratte-ciel favori de New York.
La construction du Chrysler Building, supervisée par l'architecte américain William Van Alen, s’est étalée entre 1928 et 1930, l'inauguration ayant eu lieu le 27 mai 1930. Il a été déclaré National Historic Landmark le 8 décembre 1976. Le Chrysler Building a été rénové en 1978, avec la construction d'un hall, composé essentiellement de marbre, d'acier et de granite, semblable à celui de l’Empire State Building. En outre, la flèche a été rénovée en 1995, car l’acier inoxydable avait perdu de son éclat avec le temps. Le bâtiment appartient aujourd’hui à Abu Dhabi Investment Council (75 %) et à Tishman Speyer Properties (25 %).

_______________________________
The Chrysler Building is an Art Deco style skyscraper in New York City, located on the east side of Manhattan in the Turtle Bay area at the intersection of 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue. At 1,046 feet (319 m), the structure was the world's tallest building for 11 months before it was surpassed by the Empire State Building in 1931. It is still the tallest brick building in the world, albeit with an internal steel skeleton. After the destruction of the World Trade Center, it was again the second-tallest building in New York City until December 2007, when the spire was raised on the 1,200-foot (365.8 m) Bank of America Tower, pushing the Chrysler Building into third position. In addition, The New York Times Building, which opened in 2007, is exactly level with the Chrysler Building in height. Both buildings were then pushed into 4th position, when the under construction One World Trade Center surpassed their height.
The Chrysler Building is a classic example of Art Deco architecture and considered by many contemporary architects to be one of the finest buildings in New York City. In 2007, it was ranked ninth on the List of America's Favorite Architecture by the American Institute of Architects. It was the headquarters of the Chrysler Corporation from 1930 until the mid-1950s. Although the building was built and designed specifically for the car manufacturer, the corporation did not pay for the construction of it and never owned it, as Walter P. Chrysler decided to pay for it himself, so that his children could inherit it.

A cidade de Malmo, devastada por um passado industrial, é hoje conhecida por a sua universidade e os seus prédios verdes. Malmo foi uma das primeiras e mais industrializadas cidades da Escandinávia, mas teve de fazer um enorme esforça para se adaptar ao pós-industrialismo. Desde a construção da ponte de Oresund, Malmo sofreu uma grande transformação com a evolução arquitetónica, atraindo nova biotecnologia e empresas de topo e particularmente, alunos de todo o mundo para a Universidade de Malmo, fundada em 1998. A cidade tem muitos edifícios históricos e belíssimos parques naturais que fazem dela uma cidade verde e bastante atrativa para se viver.
Como é belo o entardecer na cidade de Malmo, um entardecer que na maioria das vezes nos passa completamente ao lado, tal é a nossa ânsia de viver, um momento que deveria ser vivido com a mesma intensidade com que se vivem as grandes ocasiões da nossa vida. O pôr-do-sol é normalmente mais brilhante do que o nascer do sol, pois a matiz do vermelho e laranja são mais intensas e vibrantes. A atmosfera responde de diversas formas à exposição da luz solar, em particular, no final do dia, pois a atmosfera tende a reter uma quantidade maior de partículas em suspensão do que no início do dia. Durante o dia, o sol aquece a superfície terrestre, diminuindo assim a humidade do ar e aumentando a velocidade e a turbulência dos ventos, o que acaba por levantar a poeira para o ar. Contudo, as diferenças entre o nascer do sol e o pôr-do-sol, em alguns casos, também dependem das peculiaridades geográficas do local de onde o evento está a ser observado.
Aqui em Malmo, o entardecer de repente tornou-se diferente, mais belo e chamativo que o habitual, mais mágico e encantador, mais atrativo luminoso e delicado, talvez por ter sido o pôr-do-sol mais a norte da Europa que tenhamos presenciado. Diz a ciência que a luz do Sol sofre um desvio gerado pela atmosfera, por isso, o sol ainda pode ser visto depois de já estar atrás do horizonte físico. Este efeito também se manifesta durante o nascer do sol. Outra curiosidade gerada pela distorção da luz solar pela atmosfera é que o sol também aparenta ser maior no horizonte, uma ilusão de ótica similar a que ocorre com a Lua.

Kinvara is situated in South County Galway, Ireland, just on the edge of the world renowned "Burren" on Galway Bay. Often described in tourist guides and other publications as a "Picturesque Seaside Village", this is a description that not many will argue with. I'm sure you will agree!

The Sea Arch Stack, Crohy Head, Maghery, County Donegal, Ireland
The first time I seen this amazing natural formation I thought it looked like something from the Prehistoric Ages!
It is located on a small peninsula called Crohy Head. Very difficult to climb down too and you even have to use a rope that is attached to some rocks on the cliff face!

"... A los moros entablados
ya los vendió en el remate,
porque era un disparate
también tenerlos parados.

las tropas están escasas
por eso su tiempo pasa
donde se fue aventajando
cuarenta años tropiando
pa Ferrante y a Pablaza ..."

Kinvara Docks overlooking Dunguaire Castle, County Galway, Ireland
This was the most unexpected sunrise I’ve ever witnessed. Luck was certainly on my side this particular morning. I looked out from my motorhome window at 6.15am and seen the sun rising from behind the historic Dunguaire Castle casting this golden light across the entire bay. I wasted not a single moment and in my bed clothes I grabbed my camera, stumbled out the door half asleep and ran onto the pier to capture this image
This image always reminds me on why I love Landscape photography so much and why I dedicate so much time, effort and money into it..... Because moments like these are worth everything to me
"If you ever go across the sea to Ireland,
Then maybe at the closing of your day,
You will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay"

Incorporating many elements into a wide angle shot could be even more challenging than the use of a telephoto lens to isolate one element in abstract, because it is hard to crop out unwanted item, but it could be extremely satisfying if done successfully. The context it provides to the scene brings back fond memory of the original experience and allows one to discover after.
Can anyone help me explain the purpose of those fences ? They were kind of in the way at first when I tried to find a good spot to shoot at the scene. But looking back, the fantastic interest and perspective it offered is priceless.

Taken on a merciful (though brief) break from a day of terrible weather! In this shot, it is still Winter, but there are signs of Spring and new life. We returned to Glencoe a couple of days after this was taken, the snow in the foreground had melted, and you could see new growth on the river banks. After a bleak and strange Winter, Spring comes as a relief!
I have some loquat trees in my back yard in Central Florida, USA. During late winter and early spring, the Cedar Waxwings come in large numbers to eat the fruit. I have seen over 200 in my yard in the past few weeks. The waxy red tips on the wings identify this bird as an adult.
This was taken out an open bedroom window from about 15 feet away.
