Pole alignment Polaris with a laser . The accuracy of the guidance can be further improved by aligning the Polaris poles using the optical method using the illuminated scope.

 

The use of the native ISO 200 guarantees the maximum tonal dynamics and the lack of noise and the need to reduce it later in the photos, even with an exposure time of 480 seconds. I think you can consider going even further with increasing the exposure time and lowering the ISO, ie: ISO 100 and exposure time of 960 seconds (16 minutes) or extreme ISO 64 and exposure time of 1920 seconds (32 minutes).

 

I am convinced that equally spectacular effects can be achieved with this lens at focal lengths of 17 mm m43 ( 35 mm FF ) and 25 mm ( 50 mm FF ) .

Nothing beats listening to one of my all time favorite artists, Lou Gramm when setting up.

 

How fitting to be on the North Shore of Pittsburgh last night listening to "Midnight Blue" while taking this 13-shot pano.

Aberdeenshire coastline with the island of Dunbuy beyond looking like the skeletal remains of an ancient Dragon.

The Tilburgse Wandelbos and Warandebos is where the Siberian chipmunk walks around freely. And they're such cute creatures. Much smaller than our native Red squirrel.

 

At the closure of the Tilburg zoo in 1973 (competition became too big), when the animals were moved, a box with these chipmunks fell on the ground, which then burst open. It was not possible to catch them, so more than 45 years later Siberian chipmunks can still be found in the wild in Tilburg.

One of the most iconic locations in Tuscany is this gorgeous agriturismo that nestles in the hills of the Crete Senesi. I had an absolute glorious week that was full of colour, sunshine and magical misty mornings. I landed lucky with this shot for the farmhouse driveway is gated. The lady stood next to me instructed her husband to drive up and down the driveway a handful of times so that she could photograph the light trails. They were staying there that evening. I like the effect it has produced and it empathises perfectly the curvature of the driveway.

I, like this sunrise trying to get out from the clouds, am on the struggle bus with getting out and shooting some photos.

 

A trip to Halibut Point State Park in early 2021 had me diving back into my archives. This was originally posted and removed, but reworked slightly in Lightroom for some shadow control.

I love this wonderful little coastal fishing village called Arnarstapi on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. This lovely white house that stands in the shadows of Mt Stapafell, a 526m volcano, is perfectly positioned to enjoy glorious views of the ocean in front of it and the volcano behind it.

I have a very limited number of places left on my Lofoten 12th-18th November 2020 workshop. For those interested, this image here was taken in November 2019.

melvinnicholsonphotography.co.uk/product/lofoten-norway-photography-workshop-november-2020

 

This gorgeous and dramatic view is one of the most iconic in Lofoten and it offers the photographer a stunning composition including the wooden bridge, the warmly lit wooden Norwegian homes at dusk and of course the legendary and amazingly shaped Witch's Hat (that's what I call it anyway).

 

The snow added a real wintery element to the view but because it was November and not February (when I normally run my Lofoten winter workshop), temperatures were very amenable. I cannot wait to return in November for yet another week of fantastic photography. Fancy joining me? Simply click on the link above for full details and/or to book.

Sunrise Over Whitby Pier, Yorkshire Coast

 

I decided to sleep in my car last Friday evening so that I could be near Whitby for sunrise yesterday morning. I woke at 3.45am, parked the car close to the pier, and spent a glorious couple of hours walking around the pier watching a magical sunrise taking place.

 

Considering that it is nearly the longest day of the year (June 21st), I was surprised at the long period of time I had to photograph the sun in its various positions. This particular image had me predict where the position of the sun was likely to be thirty seconds ahead of me wanting to actually take the photo for the sun rises diagonally to the right. Thankfully I positioned the tripod perfectly because the sun rose centrally under the tower.

 

The colours were rich as a couple of people walked along and watched this side of the world waking up at 4.30am. These are the kind of mornings that I cherish.

 

Last Friday was Day 29 of my 34 day road trip and the weather is getting warmer and warmer while the blue skies have arrived. Quite the contrast to the challenging weather that I experienced last week in Norfolk.

 

My remaining days shall be spent travelling up the east coast taking in the locations of Steetley Pier in Hartlepool, Chemical Beach at Seaham, Roker Pier in Sunderland, and St Mary's Lighthouse in Whitley Bay.

Traigh Bheag (The Small Beach), Isle of Harris, Scotland

 

This beach that you can see here was photographed while leading my autumn workshop in November 2019, and it is typical of the stunningly beautiful sandy beaches that you see on Harris. The colour of the water is aqua, the sandy lovely and golden, and the skies either bright blue or full of the most atmospheric clouds you'll see anywhere.

 

Scotland is sure one hell of a place to visit with a camera and I never tire of doing so whatever the weather/time of the year and I cannot wait to return in November (2021) to run three workshops.

There are not many occasions where you'll find your heart pumping faster than when standing on an open beach in a fierce lightning storm but at midnight last night, I sprinted from my car to set up the tripod between heavy squalls at Perch Rock Lighthouse.

 

I used a weather radar app (AccuWeather on Android) to inform me when the rain was about to clear and for how long which last night, proved itself invaluable. I set up the tripod and adjusted the settings on my Sony a7R3 and repeatedly pressed the shutter release cable button every 15" until I eventually managed to capture a lightning strike right next to Perch Rock Lighthouse.

 

The inclusion of the crane platform to the left pleases me immensely for it adds an extra layer of interest as well as helping to balance out the composition. Having returned home at 6.30am, I think a couple of hours sleep is in order. Have a great day everyone.

I planned this photo differently, but since I do not have the exact PhotoPils application, the analysis showed ( mooncalc.org ) that the rising full moon would be visible near the castle. Unfortunately, the terrain (the forest wall behind my back) made it impossible to get a different frame than these. In this frame the moon is hidden behind the trees on the right side. Well you have to wait for another full moon. Nevertheless, this view accurately reflects the silence and the majesty of this place.

Every time I edit an image from my travels to Iceland, my hear skips a beat and this image is no different.

 

I can just sit and stare at this view for hours on end and remember the sound of the rushing water in front of me and the slight breeze that swirled from the base of the waterfalls outwards. The air smelt so fresh, crisp and clean. It is quite simply one of the finest sights you can see in Iceland.
