A bit of a hike down the cliffs to the river bed but judging by the path i took i wasn't the first to make the trek. I had left my wife at the top but she wasn't there when i got back and we spent the next 35 minutes looking for each other. In fact other hikers i met were on the alert that my wife was looking for me. I thought to myself this is not going to end well.
Shot taken with the 7Artisans 10mm fisheye.
We had extremely dense fog the entire morning and into the early afternoon a few days ago - an uncommon event around here. About 1 pm, a tiny bit of sunlight started to break through as the fog finally began to clear. Believe it or not, once the fog moved out, it was completely clear and cloudless the entire rest of the day, staying true to the all-over-the-place weather of the Texas Panhandle.

Created for star theme in Macro Monday. HMM :-)
This Torx size 20 bit is almost 4mm across. I have smaller sizes, but this one is teeny enough. lol.. It’s part of my tiny screwdriver bit set that I originally bought for working inside computers. But now I also use it to open parts of the action figures I have that have LED lights. Some of their eyes light up, etc.
Queen Elizabeth on a thrupenny bit......
(The thrupenny bit, also known as the threepence, was a British coin worth 1/80 of a pound or 1/4 of a shilling. )
A bit of photoshop fun for Sliders Sunday.
Don't ask about the concept here because I'm not sure there is one LOL.
The base image was taken with an ND filter to get a long exposure which removed all of the traffic. The A380 is one of my stock one which I've used before. I tried to work with the proportions here where the wingspan is 80 meters.. Alas, the width of the M6 here is more like 45 metres (verge to verge) making the shadow's wing span approx 60 metres.. So, still a little short...
Anyway, thought it was (just about) worth sharing.. HSS.
This is the first bits of jewelry I bought for my wife thirty three years ago. When we first discussed getting married this is what she picked out for the initial ring set and I added earrings and a pendant on a gold chain. Not a spectacular horde but it means something to her that goes beyond extravagance. HMM and thank you for any views, faves and comments.

A bit further up along Stanger Gill from the last shot, this sloping rock caught my eye. Surely it deserves an official name on the map? Couldn't see one though.
By this point, the cloud was starting to lower and the wind was picking up, especially after leaving the shelter of the northern slopes of Rosthwaite Fell.
Does the little bit on the end of this shell look like a little shell eye to you too?
I like to think that there is a whole little world inside with little shell creatures looking at live feeds from the "eye" on little TV screens, analysing response tactics to the environment on their little shell computers, initiating their outer shell of silence until any potential danger has passed, and then cheering and jumping about and giving each other little shell creature high-fives. That little hole in the spirals under the eye is their emergency escape hatch I reckon. In an emergency, the ConchChime goes off and they throw a little shell creature ladder out the hole and make their escape while whatever they are escaping from is busy at the main entrance. There may have been a little hero shell creature stay behind to distract whoever they were escaping from, maybe named the Coral Crusader. I hope he/she made it out safely! Must be a tough life being a little shell creature, I'm exhausted just thinking about it!
PS - I like shells, but then again, who doesn't!
I have always had a bit of envy for those who can sit with a pencil or paint brush and create true art. I intentionally use the word true as a disseminator reflecting that I am only referring to art that I like. My oldest son Jeremy taught me years ago that all art presented is someone else’s art, not mine. It is an expression of what they see, feel or are trying to express. It all impacts someone in different ways. I believe much of it to be trash!
In this shot, while editing I just couldn’t stand the thought of yet another color shot of a raptor in flight. I have taken and retained hundreds and shared just a few. The raw file of this shot reflects near perfect focus of this top-lite Rough-legged hawk hovering above the tundra just north of Nome Alaska. As one who strives to take only the sharpest photos…nobody sees the hundreds-thousands I get wrong, sometimes blowing blessed encounters all together!
In this case, I may have crossed the line as when editing started on this particular file, it screamed to me to be in black and white…and to be grained up a bit. Maybe the knowledge of knowing the species name, a Rough-legged hawk, subliminally spoke to me. It wasn’t until writing this account this morning that I realized that there might just be much more of a reason.
This shot was taken on 19 August. On the morning of the 20th at daybreak I was on the same road in the same area as this shot was taken. I noticed a Rough-legged hawk laying in the road. It apparently flew into a vehicle…and it’s Nome…not too many vehicles running around, sometime the evening before. I stood over it, wondering if it was the beautiful specimen who allowed me a photo session just hours before, or its mate. With respect, I folded it wings and moved it off the road so that it would not be destroyed by traffic and could be harvested by other creatures who needed it and not waisted.
Then the voice inside of my head simply said “Honor it.” So, I gathered a few dozen feathers from the area and plucked a few more…yes plucked…try not to judge! Maybe another line was crossed here as I do not know the law on harvesting feathers from a dead hawk on an Alaskan roadside. But I authorized myself as I realized that I and others could utilize them in making fishing flies, continuing his/her participation in the cycle of life.
I plan on printing and framing this shot for my office. It will join the other 192 other framed photographs that are mostly there as just a good memory, its addition will be a final aspect of honoring its life.
The Yellowhammer is one of my favourite birds but they're getting harder to find in Surrey these days. So I was pleased when I heard this particular birds distinctive song along a hedgerow the other day. It was also great to be able to take a few photos of him in full song.
Life on the Rails
A bit of urban rhythm from the Zagreb archives. Main Station, Tomislav Square, and the impatient wait for the number "4" tram. While the sky threatens rain, people rush to catch up with their lives, and the blue tram is the only one that truly knows where we are heading. A different dynamic from my usual Karlovac scenes, but equally inspiring.
Život na tračnicama
Malo urbanog ritma iz zagrebačke arhive. Glavni kolodvor, Tomislavac i nestrpljivo čekanje "četvorke". Dok nebo prijeti kišom, ljudi žure stići svoje živote. Dok nebo prijeti kišom, ljudi žure stići svoje živote, a plavi tramvaj jedini zna kamo zapravo idemo. Malo drugačija dinamika od one moje karlovačke, ali jednako inspirativna.

We had a bit of excitement here in the UK last week. I had a fascinating time trying to capture this, totally alien to me so not great shots all hand held and captured from my home . This is where I would normally capture the sunrise ! I'm sure I haven't done it justice but I tried and tried until I finally surrendered :)

A bit of drama in the sky this morning as a frontal system passed through. We raced down to the lookout and snuck in a few quick shots before beating a hasty retreat.
A bit of blue skies popped through on Thursday afternoon, during our winter interlude! Temps were in the upper 50s when I shot this and it back in the low 20s now, and that's were it's going to stay for awhile Another Polar Vortex is here! Five exposure HDR processed with Nik HDR Efex Pro 2
Карета подана:уж кони бьют копытом
От нетерпения,не слушаясь удил!
Былого счастья не вернуть:давно забыты,
Кем был любим когда-то и кого любил!
Карета подана,но если до удара
Последнего остался миг всего один,
Пока течёт вино,пока звенит гитара,
До той поры судьбы не раб,а господин!..........................................................................................
The carriage is ready:the horses are already kicking their hooves
From impatience, not obeying the bit!
You can 't bring back your former happiness:long forgotten,
Who was loved once and who loved!
The carriage is served, but if before the blow
There was only one moment left of the last one,
While the wine is flowing, while the guitar is ringing,
Until then, fate is not a slave, but a master...!

It's a bit tiring to walk up to the ruined fortress of Thessaloniki but then you can enjoy the great views of the city.

A great morning I experience the other week, the sea and sky had a bit of oomph. A super word that, oomph. I was debating whether to post this or not. The instance preview on the LCD said keeper, but on further inspection at home I started to get pernickety (another bonza word) over the limited depth of field, i.e. the foreground beach details are lost. My main idea on the photo was to focus on Marsden rock and the sea detail didn’t matter as I was using my magic shutter speed of half a second to get than painterly effect I’m always looking for. It was than shutter speed which was the part of the issue, you see I’d already knocked up my iso to 400 and to retain detail I did not want to go much higher so I brought the aperture down 2 stops to f9. I usually do a simple focus stack of two images in these situations but I was rushing around to much, just happy to be out. So as the photo is all about the sea, rock and clouds I decided in the end to give it a try. Am I being too fussy or does it still work? I can always delete it.
Someday I hope to learn the dials and buttons and menus and settings on the digital camera. But for present Auto is all I manage..... so just playing around.
I think I need a more glamorous model though....
.......anyway, this one has flown the coop.
