It is those rare moments - when the stars align and the elements appear to melt together. It is always a process of transition from one state to another. When the mist is rolling through the valley striving over the frosty fir trees. When the very first rays of light illuminate the sky and this diffuse light gently hits the huge pines raging out of the leafless silver birches and both are showing their magical glow. Pretty sure this will look superb on a fine art matt paper print.

This nice hoverfly (not wasp) went astray from the flowers right into my open photography bag (charging cable). I gently guided it outside, so that it didn't get caught in there.
The lower right triangle has a right angle and the hoverfly is almost forming a 180 degree angle with the cable.

Our Daily Challenge: ASSISTANCE NEEDED
A sunset walk in my favorite local park. The sun was hiding behind the cloud with a trace of light on the water. People were walking on the shore to enjoy this peaceful moment. I saw these two people and aligned them with the sun. The black and white conversion really accentuated the contrast in the scene.

Cover photo of the group SoloReflex in November/December 2019
There's been no shortage of wonderful sunrises across the UK over the past several months, and this sunrise, captured on a freezing, frosty and foggy late-December morning, seemed like an ideal opportunity to revisit the south-eastern meadow inside Morden Hall Park, which I last photographed during the autumn over a year ago.
Despite the park's expansive 125 acres of photogenic parkland, wetlands and bridges over the River Wandle, this scene has always been one of my favourite spots to watch the sunrise. I opted for a wider set-up than my previous take, partly to capture the thick layer of fog accumulating around the meadow as the sun came up, but also because I felt this would help to put the tree into some kind of context. The fog was much thicker before dawn, and it was important to me to try to convey the magic this created, but at the same time the sunrise provided a perfect focal point in the image and seemed to complete the scene. To incorporate both of these elements, I continued shooting for a couple of hours, and then used a combination of luminosity and gradient masking, along with the Soft Light and Overlay blend modes, to merge captures of the predawn fog and frost with captures of the sun as it appeared behind the trees and cast a golden glow through the fog.
Once the exposures had been blended, I used a mixture of Curves, Colour Balance and Selective Colour adjustments to bring out the chilly early-morning tones in the shadows of the meadow, while emphasising the warmer tones on the horizon, which was largely achieved with a low-opacity Colour Lookup set to the Crisp Warp preset and using Soft Light. Contrast and structure were reduced in the shadows using Silver Efex Pro set to Luminosity, as I wanted to keep the scene as natural-looking as possible, but I gently increased the texture where the sun was projecting across the meadow using the Detail Extractor and Tonal Contrast filters in Colour Efex Pro, as this seemed to help draw the viewer's eye along the ground, beyond the tree stumps and on towards the sunrise.
It was important to me to convey the simplicity of the lone bare tree at the centre of the foggy sunrise, so I tried keep the post-processing as inconspicuous as I could. The final change I made was to gently blend in a brighter exposure along a small footpath through the frame, which seemed perfectly aligned as it crossed beneath the tree and continued into the distance where the sun was appearing on the horizon. As ethereal as the scene is on a morning when the parkland is almost deserted, the footpath seemed to add a hint of a human element, leaving a reminder that beautiful landscape and dramatic weather conditions are there to be seen and enjoyed.

Sometimes all the elements align; a hint of morning light on the peaks, a little fog hanging in the meadow, and two beautiful bull moose who just shed their velvet....have a great weekend!!
When the moon is in the seventh house
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius, Aquarius, Aquarius
Aquarius, Aquarius, Aquarius
Well thats the song that popped into my head looking at this image
The Yellow Delli,
Honiton, Devon, UK.
Deli offering sandwiches, salads & breakfast, plus a juice bar mixing up smoothies & other drinks.
Not all sweetness and light:-
Surrounded by beautiful, rolling countryside and famous for its lace, pottery and antiques, Honiton is a quiet, sleepy market town like so many others in Devon. - - Which is why it seems a strange place for a cafe founded by a staunchly religious community - known as the Twelve Tribes - who began life in the southern US state of Tennessee back in the 1970s.
But that is what the Yellow Deli, situated on the town's high street, is: one of the group's many cafes dotted around the world where, according to their website, they aim to 'pass on the love, joy, and peace spoken of in the New Testament'.
The Twelve Tribes, formerly known as the Vine Christian Community Church, the Northeast Kingdom Community Church, the Messianic Communities, and the Community Apostolic Order, is a new religious movement: founded by Gene Spriggs that sprang out of the Jesus movement in 1972 in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
The Twelve Tribes's beliefs resemble those of Christian fundamentalism, the Hebrew Roots movement, Messianic Judaism, and the Sacred Name Movement; however, the group believes that all other denominations are fallen, and it therefore refuses to align itself with any denomination or movement. The group has strict courtship rules, and their views on child rearing has been a source of controversy.
The group supports itself through the operation of several businesses, most of which revolve around agriculture, as well as cafés and restaurants, all using unpaid and often child labour.
Some governments and advocacy groups have labelled the group a cult.
Take from this "what you will."
(Personally I find them a bit creepy).
The San Rafael & Bay Bridge - San Rafael, California
This morning I woke up and headed out for sunrise, with no real direction. I figured I would just follow the clearing storm and light until I found something interesting.
I made a quick stop up in the Marin Headlands, but nothing really grabbed my attention. I was thinking of heading into the San Francisco and over to the industrial area on the south / east end, but decided I would make a trip over to this spot. I came across this composition back in late November, but I didn't have a long enough lens to compose the image how I would have liked, so I left it alone for the time being. Finally, after over a year of being stuck in the 105mm or less range, I decided to pick up a 70-200 zoom. So with the 70-200, and no real direction, I came over to this cove and waited for sunrise.

About as autumn-y as it gets, a memory from a couple of weeks ago in the Alps. I knew about this waterfall being located on the way to the mountains and during the week I spent camping in the area I didn't have much interest in shooting it, but on the very last morning, when leaving the fog covered valley, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to pay this place a short visit and snap this image.
Galaxies Aligned - Or is it planets? Whichever it is, last night was epic Milky-way hunting conditions, as I was down in Cornwall, I headed to St Michaels Mount. I chose rather than go uber wide, to use a 50mm lens for this, and I like the results. The 3am wake up call was less fun, this was shot about 3.40am.
Shot with my Sony UK a7R3 and FE 50mm 1.8 Lens, I then used the epic Alyn Wallace Photography's presets to edit this. It is a 3 single shot vertical pano, no stacking involved. ISO 1250 - 50mm - f1.8 - 10secs
Hope you like it.
We knew there was a west bound empty grain getting close on the former Milwaukee main line, along with several east bounds were meeting a vehicle train at Yellowstone so we set up where the Hettinger Sub crosses over the Forsyth Sub with the hopes of an over/under shot. Well it never happened.
In reality the V-BLULAU1-19 showed up under the bridge first, probably just 2-3 minutes too early. Just as it was almost out of the photo frame, the G-ANVVAW9-20 crossed over the bridge, just a little too late. Through the magic of Photoshop, we get to see what almost happened... but never did.
Photoshop is truly an amazing product with its ability to align and blend photos from two different cameras with two different lenses. The Grain train was shot with a Nikon D750 full frame with a 80-200 f2.8 lens on a tripod while the Vehicle train was shot with a Nikon D300 APS sensor with a 24-70 f2.8 lens handheld.
