Light dusting of snow on top of the leaf litter serves to emphasise the undulations of the ground. Begs the question, what lies underneath to cause these depressions in the first place...

Big news!
I've been overwhelmed with the amount of encouragement and support I've gotten from all of you lovely photography viewers over the years. Many of you told me "Brent, I want a way to support your little passion project, but I don't have the wall space or dough for a huge print! Those who reached out were generally met with something like "Maybe someday, but for now I'm too lazy/dumb to put that together."
My last post to reddit was the straw that broke the camel's back. Without further ado, I've made a Patreon page for BrentGoesOutside. If you aren't familiar with Patreon, it's kinda like kickstarter but with a monthly ongoing pledge. Now, if you pledge a minimum of $1/month, I'll send you a desktop or mobile wallpaper each month! I am working on other reward levels, but I wanted to offer something small to guage interest and get this thing off the ground. Let me know if you have ideas, too.
You can find my patreon page at www.patreon.com/brentgoesoutside
Whether or not you contribute financially to my photography, THANK YOU so much for all of the support. It's meant the world to me and keeps me going.

Taken from near the Alameda ferry terminal, I chose this place because from this vantage point, the Bay Bridge seems parallel to the Golden Gate Bridge (the fainter bridge in the background). I liked this picture because the container ship in alignment with the setting sun and the yacht with one of the Bay Bridge towers
Comments Greatly Appreciated,
Jupiter, Antares and Mars all line up across the scene while the Milky Way rises behind Delicate Arch. Delicate Arch is always the highlight for our students in our workshops. It's always fun to hike up in the dark and then back down at sunrise. If you have never experienced the night from this vantage point, I highly recommend you put it on your bucket list. Join a group, go with friends or whatever it takes. It's really a magical scene.
This image is made from 20 single exposures all stacked and aligned to create an almost noise free image.

On our way north in Michigan we ran across this closed motel/restaurant on an older alignment of U.S. 27 just outside of Roscommon. I don't think adding the faux tepee did much for the sign.

While I'm holding up my skirt, can you please take out a ruler and check if my stocking tops are neatly aligned? I think they're pretty okay but maybe a minor adjustment is still needed and I really can use your help with that. Maybe the stocking on the right needs a tiny extra pull upwards? Please check and adjust for me, but be gentle and tender because silky stockings are delicate and sweet satin girls are just as delicate as well.

For the very first time, SDO observed both the Earth and the Moon block its view of the Sun at the same time (Sept. 13, 2015). First the Earth blocked out the entire Sun for an hour. When it moved aside, the Moon was also blocking a portion of the Sun. Of course, none of this was visible from Earth. Due to SDO's elliptical orbit, occasionally the Earth or the Moon blocks its view of the Sun, but this double alignment was a first. The video shows the Earth moving out of the way and revealing the Moon over a brief 10-minute period. Incidentally, the edge of the Earth looks much fuzzier than the edge of the Moon because our planet has a thick atmosphere and the Moon does not. Credit: Solar Dynamics Observatory, NASA.
Alignment is the adjustment of an object in relation with other objects, or a static orientation of some object or set of objects in relation to others.

From a visit to Newcastle's quayside.
Taken at the point that the Tyne and Millennium bridges line up, the left side of the image also shows the Gateshead Baltic Quay.

A fisheye image was taken of the amazing five planet alignment in the pre-dawn hours of February 2, 2016. The image was taken at the base of a snow covered hill in Lancaster, PA. Mercury, Venus, the moon, Saturn, Mars and Jupiter can all be seen in this photograph taken with a Canon T6s and a 8-15 mm f/4L lens. Star spikes were added in Photoshop Elements to bring out the contrast and color of the planets and stars.
Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

Loved the way the shadow from the tree outside lined up almost exactly with one on my photo canvas. Those shadows move fast though! Before I'd even taken a couple of shots, it was no longer aligned.
Another restful day, with Tim and me both still feeling unwell. I watered the plants and cleared a small pile of paperwork and that was about it - the rest of the day was all about relaxing. We had another game of Scrabble this afternoon too :)
I've never had the sun set behind that tree before, like a furnace with its door open, after a glorious summer's day. The pinprick of light in the middle distance is a signal.
A Turbo is passing by on the run between Marylebone and Birmingham. Taken eight minutes after the previous shot. Best seen really large!

Looks normal, right? Look at your own keyboard... notice anything different? Okay, maybe you don't. But try actually typing on this and it all becomes far too apparent. The whole of the bottom row of letters (Z, X, C...) is one too far to the right. The Z should be below and between A and S, not S and D.
You're looking at a brand new Dell Vostro 1310, ordered the day after its released, and delivered on 30th April 2008 in the UK.
They keys are all there. Shift, \|, Z, X... its just that the left shift is too big, forcing everything over too far. The Z has to be between the A and S... look on ANY other keyboard and that's where it sits. This is not a US/UK layout issue, just a general monumental flaw.
UPDATE 1st May 2008 5pm: I phoned Dell for 20 minutes and they have confirmed that this affects all new Vostro 1310s in the UK. Oh dear!! They're hoping they can just replace the keyboards, though the guy on the phone said it was a 'motherboard' problem... I can't imagine that though.
UPDATE: 2nd May 2008 1:30pm - Kerry from Dell has informed me that Dell are working on a resolution for the issue. The official statement is as follows:
------
A limited number of Vostro 1310 and
1510 in Europe have been sent out with the wrong keyboard
layout. We are working diligently to offer a solution to
impacted customers and correct the error. Once a solution
is in place, we will be contacting impacted customers
directly to both apologise and instruct them on next steps.
We are still investigating this issue and will come back
with more detailed information as soon as possible. We have
made a mistake here and will be acting as quickly as
possible to find a satisfactory solution for our customers.

UPDATE 9th May:
Okay, so they're sending out new keyboards. But it seems to me like a quick fix which is imperfect rather than applying the correct fix. Here's what I just posted to their blog:
---
[Y]ou've gone and kept the large left shift key and moved the \| key
to the right of the row, rather than making the left shift key
smaller... why?
You mention it appearing on more systems here... I will have to take
your word for that, but all 6 keyboards I can see in front of me right
now have a small left shift key and the \| key to the left of the z.
Why reinvent the wheel? If there's a good ergonomic reason for this
choice then that's great, but I can just sense that I'm going to fit
this new keyboard into my laptop and be (a lot less, but still a
little) frustrated with it.
Here's the logic for why the |\ should be on the left not the right:
* Look at where a touch typists fingers little fingers sit
* Note the distance the little fingers have to travel to reach a shift key
* when we have a small left shift, the 'A' is only half a regular
sized key away from the shift key. A nice small distance to travel
* again with the small left left key, the big left shift key is
only half a regular sized key from the colon/semi-colon on which the
right little finger sits.
* however, if you apply the layout you suggest, the left shift key
is under half the right shift key
* ... but the left shift key is now one and a half keys away from
the semi-colon. The right little finger has a long distance to travel,
making reaching for it take longer and be more of a pain.
So there's a very convincing argument to go for the standard UK layout
with small left shift and \| on the left. What's the convincing
counter argument that lead you to your chosen design?
I'm presuming that what you've applied here is the cost-effective
quick-fix and that there is no other argument for your choice. I can
completely understand this choice given the circumstances, but I don't
think its going to work for me I'm afraid.

['Ottovelo' commented I should just buy a Mac. I have removed his stupid Apple fanboy remark. Seriously... why not say but an Acer, Asus, Lenovo,, Samsung... and whilst we're on that, where's the delete key on a Mac? And why are " and @ in the wrong places on UK mac keyboards? Not as bad a design flaw as this, but utterly frustrating none the less.]
[
DEAR murilo A, dgua, korobeiniki, jorgepinto, cliph, mentor972, ramobjesus, raphy, zolinovat and every other MAC FANBOY out there,
Thank you sooooo much for your kind advice in telling me to 'get a mac'. Its so awfully sweet of you to be so kind and helpful.
Yes, I have considered buying a mac before. My wife has a mac which I bought her, my dad also has a mac which I bought him.
I hate my wife's mac. It has a backspace button but no delete button. It has one mouse button and forces me to press a key with the button rather than having a right mouse button. The @ and " are in the wrong places for UK users. You can't make windows fullscreen. Its slow. It crashes when playing DVDs. We have to cover it up at night as its glow 'throbs' and doesn't let me get any sleep.
Also, this laptop cost me £650. A similarly spec'd mac would have cost £949 (and that's still not as good spec as this).
Lots of love,
Jake
PS: I've deleted a lot of your helpful 'buy a mac' comments from this page. If you want to advertise, go do it in your own space, not mine
PPS: If you fancy trying to convert me you can of course send me a Mac for free. Just don't be surprised if a video of me smashing it to bits appears on the Internet soon after.
