Once a route used for droving cattle to markets. The Barkly is now 200km of flat straight road. We saw just one other vehicle, a station ute as we travelled along. Here we are camped for the night, and as I climbed the ladder the sight of the Milky Way captivated me.
It took three images merged together to gather up the big night sky and record the magnificent awe-inspiring remoteness.
p.s. I used the camp light and torch to light up our camp under the stars.

i am still digging some shots i never bothered posting. it's insightful going through years of photographies.
on a side note, i knew i couldn't stay away from a Leica camera for too long. i pulled the trigger on the Leica Q.
Beyal camp is the first camp that comes into your path, when hiking from Fairy Meadows towards the Raikhot Face of Nanga Parbat (the ninth highest mountain in the world, with an altitude of 8,126 meters).
To reach Beyal camp, you must first arrive at Raikhot Bridge on the Karakoram Highway, also known as N35 on the Pakistani side (Highway 314 on the Chinese side). From there, a 2-3 hour jeep ride takes you to the small village of Tattu Bridge. A six-kilometer hike from Tattu Bridge leads to Fairy Meadows, offering enchanting views of the forest below, Raikhot glaciers, and the mighty Nanga Parbat itself. From the Fairy maedows there is a 3 hours of hike to Beyal camp.
And BTW, the sunset here is otherworldly. The camp is at an alittude of 3550 m. However, the top of the Nanga parbat is at 8126 m. So the difference in light during sunset is just mesmirizing. When you know its already evening and dark around and then you suddenly look up and see the breathtaking sunset colors/light at the peak: is what I meant when I said, OTHERWORLDY!

Rose and I went for an evening walk around the camp grounds. It was so beautiful, relaxing, and peaceful. :)
Last minutes before sunset - a restful and romantically moment.

Here’s one more Vertorama from my archives… taken about three months ago from a beach near Camps Bay.
I’ve recently noticed that some anonymous Flickr user (with no buddy icon or photos on their stream) has been adding meaningless comments to several of my contacts’ photos. These comments always include a small image which appears to be a video-player… and a link to click on if you want check out the video.
That got me thinking about all these warnings that I get to NEVER click on any links included in an email message… unless the email was sent by someone who I can really trust. These days I get an average of about 10 emails per week from my bank (supposedly)… asking me to click on the link below to confirm my bank details. Of course these emails are NOT being sent to me by my bank… but rather by criminals who are trying to redirect me to their website… to enter my bank details… so that they can use them steal all my money! This is commonly known as a “Phishing Attack”.
So… I wondered… what’s to stop someone from launching their phishing attack from a link included in a Flickr comment? If I clicked on their link… couldn’t that automatically start downloading a trojan or some or other keystroke-logging program that would monitor all my keyboard activity… looking out for passwords and other banking details? And even if the comment (and link) has been added by one of my trusted contacts… surely it would be quite simple to create a new Flickr account with a name like “Mike Jones Photgraphy” (incorrectly spelled)… using Mike’s buddy icon… in an attempt to catch the unwary Flickr users?
Even those notification emails that Flickr sends me (to my private email address) when someone has added me as a contact… surely it would be the easiest thing in the world to fake that simple email and to send it to people who have a Flickr account? I never click on the links in these emails messages… I always log on to Flickr first… then go to my inbox… and then click on the links in the messages listed there. But I have no doubt that there are many people who do click on the links in these notification emails… can you really be sure that the email is being sent to you by Flickr?
So… I have decided that from today onwards… I will no longer be clicking on any links included in any comments… from anybody that I don’t know! Call me paranoid if you like… I call it playing safe! Food for thought?
My favorite image of the day is this amazing photo by master landscape photographer Jesse Estes from Portland in Oregon. This particular photograph was taken in Yosemite during the Winter of 2009… maybe it’s the fact that I’ve never had the opportunity to shoot a snow scene… but this is probably my favorite image that I’ve EVER seen on Flickr! You rock Jesse… you’re miles ahead of me… but I’m hoping that if I pay careful attention to what you’re doing… that one day I might also be able to shoot something as incredible as this!

A peaceful camping trip in the woods. What could go wrong? This is a close up of my latest MOC with the helicopter/water removed to show the forest backdrop.
another angle on lake Saoseo in the Val Da Camp valley. taken from the top of a rock formation on the opposite side of the lake. i have not chaged the blue tones in the water in post at all. so the colors are straight out of the camera. only the shadows have been pulled up again to get the details back in the tree and the forest on the other side of the lake
1/30 of a sec at f/8.0 shot with the camera on my bag since i did not bring my tripod that day

Scatto fatto in direzione opposto al mio precedente upload,come si può vedere il Gran Sasso ci ha regalato un'alba superba a 360° :-)
Back in time. Back in the old days, Back in the sixties. this was the campsite that we would camp at for our holidays. Back then the coastal plane had one camp site, this one. It had a white water tower, as we drove down off the higher mountains the only thing amongst the green orange groves was the white water tower. when we spotted it, my sisters, brother and I where so excited, we knew we had arrived at Blavamar after three days driving across France an Spain.
Today it has been closed and surrounded my massive developments. It is sad to see it empty and overgrown.
No camping experience is complete without the folding chairs, bikes, rafts, nets, and of course, an Elk on your doorstep.
While camping in Whistler Park in Jasper, we shared the campground with a herd of Elk. They made themselves at home, and even though they seemed quite tame and unfazed by all the humans around them, we still gave them the right of way as they are rather impressively large wild animals, and quite a few youngsters were tagging along with their mothers. This female settled in for an afternoon snooze under one of our neighbor's awinings, to get a little shade.
I'm home for a few days reorganizing, then off again for a couple more weeks back to Wisconsin. I hope to start getting back up to speed in September.

One of the biggest highlights of last year was no doubt the opportunity to head over to Los Angeles to meet and hang out with some inspiring, creative minds at Phootcamp. This year, I'm doing it all again in Marfa, Texas! As part of the application process, we had to shoot a self portrait (see last year's here). The portrait was inspired by everything I learned at last year's camp and included a few recurring themes from other people's photos! The shirt I'm wearing is inspired by this "Nate Bolt!" shirt by Steph Goralnick. The portrait has also been featured along with the many other talented Phoot Camp attendees here on Pictory, an always beautiful and inspiring website created by Phootcamp founder, Laura Miner. I can't wait to meet all the new faces and really dig deep into getting creative with such an awesome bunch of people!
It's fair to say that Alex won the "Taking a winter mat is better" debate. We hadn't anticipated camping over snow, but having hiked up several hundred meters to look for a tent pitch, we found ourselves surrounded by rocks and boulders in every direction. It was a cold night for me as my mat wasn't up to the job.
We had reservations to go camping in Mt Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest but there was a forest fire about 20 miles from our park. So we loaded up anyways and headed in the opposite direction to Whidbey Island hoping to find a last minute spot.
We finally found this park and even though they said they were full they had some campers that left early and we were able to snag their spot. :) We had fun but I think this is the loudest campsite I've ever been to. Up until midnight we could hear a group talking and laughing so loudly that we couldn't sleep. I'm not sure if those people were extremely loud or if sound carried further because of the way the trees were.
We still had fun despite the loud neighbors and campfire ban because we ate chili, drank beer and played card games in the woods. :)
A small camp for anticitizens inside the ruins of an abandoned industrial building. Even in the darkest of times, temporary peace has found this couple. Happy holidays, everyone.
Nothing special here, took this oppertunity to show off the new Rebel figs. Next picture will showcase my AR2 concept.

Questa è la campagna nei dintorni di Gorizia, dove piantagioni di pioppi si alternano a vigneti e boschi di castagno, il tutto condito da profumo di storia visto che in queste terre si sono svolte alcune delle pagine più drammatiche della Prima Guerra Mondiale che quest'anno ricorre il centenario. Questa terra però offre anche degli ottimi vini rinomati in tutto il mondo.
