I went to Amsterdam Zuid to get some work done for my passport and right opposite the office complex was this amazing "park-like" place...I was trying to think of ways to capture this magnificent view on front of me, but couldn't decide on a frame. As I turned around, the sun was in my face (you can probably see little bits of the buildings I was visiting) and at this moment, I saw a lady in a red jacket and it was the perfect moment!

I was photographing birds at Valley Inn Road when, again, I looked behind me and saw this lady capturing the scene with paint brush and canvas
Captured this shot during our recent trip to Nairobi Nat.Park,Oct 2013,showing an unhappy king of the jungle towards his queen who appears to show signs of boredom towards the king hence showing very little interest in allowing the king to mate and make sure his genes are carried forward by the next generation.

My husband in the ruins of Colosseum, with an old and complicated camera.
Sometimes capturing the spotlight is just about capturing the attention of everybody. But at other times, capturing the spotlight means literally that - capturing the spotlight created by point light sources.
As I was wandering through the maze of tufa towers at Mono Lake in California, I noticed that at one location, the crevice was sufficiently small to reduce the sun to a point source of light. With the correct positioning of the camera, I was able to get that spot of light to create a starburst effect, which, with the right exposure, enabled this image of the tufa towers glowing the warm morning light.
The tufa towers at Mono lake are a very enigmatic, yet sad, fixture. While learning about the creation of these tall limestone towers over hundreds of years takes one by surprise, to see these towers trampled over and abused by visitors not paying heed to the signs, is quite troubling indeed. I wish visitors to this unique environment are aware that they are in a very special place and have a little bit of conscience to preserve this beautiful locale for posterity.

Focus-Stacked image of Duffus Castle, comprising of 35 captures to enhance F/B focus.
The castle is situated on the Laich of Moray, a fertile plain that was once the swampy foreshore of Spynie Loch. This was originally a more defensive position than it appears today, long after the loch was drained.
The motte is a huge man-made mound, with steep sides and a wide ditch separating it from the bailey. The whole site is enclosed by a water-filled ditch, which is more a mark of its boundary than it is a serious defensive measure.
Duffus Castle was built by a Flemish man named Freskin, who came to Scotland in the first half of the 1100s. After an uprising by the ‘men of Moray’ against David I in 1130, the king sent Freskin north as a representative of royal authority.
He was given the estate of Duffus, and here he built an earthwork-and-timber castle. Freskin’s son William adopted the title of ‘de Moravia’ – of Moray. By 1200, the family had become the most influential noble family in northern Scotland, giving rise to the earls of Sutherland and Clan Murray.
In about 1270, the castle passed to Sir Reginald Cheyne the Elder, Lord of Inverugie. He probably built the square stone keep on top of the motte, and the curtain wall encircling the bailey. In 1305, the invading King Edward I of England gave him a grant of 200 oaks from the royal forests of Darnaway and Longmorn, which were probably used for the castle’s floors and roofs.
By 1350, the castle had passed to a younger son of the Earl of Sutherland through marriage. It may have been then that the keep was abandoned, possibly because it was beginning to slip down the mound, and a new residence established at the north of the bailey.
Viscount Dundee, leader of the first Jacobite Rising, dined in the castle as a guest of James, Lord Duffus in 1689, prior to his victory against King William II’s government forces at Killiecrankie. Soon after, Lord Duffus moved to the nearby Duffus House. The castle quickly fell into decay.
Forster's tern (sterna forsteri) flies off with struggling fish from Shoreline Lake.
Some juvenile Forster's terns were flying around too, but they made no efforts to catch fish. So the fish may well be meant for the fledglings.

Took that capture of the capturing during my daughter's graduation ceremony at the Baltimore Arena. This elderly gentleman made his way slowly down the stairs to the edge of the railing to get a closer shot. From my chair with the 300mm this framed up well as he took his capture. It turned out pretty cool I think so glad I snapped it.

Captured Time · Portico Quartet - Next Stop
Captured on a Desert hike just at the right time. The colors of the sky change so fast at Sunset time in Arizona.
It's stranger than you'd think finally seeing in person a landscape you've seen time after time in other photographers' shots. Rock formation Hvitserkur in northern Iceland (according to legend, a troll turned to stone after being too slow getting under cover by daybreak) is one such place, and even though I knew its general shape and that the surroundings vary drastically with the tide, I didn't expect it would be quite so far off shore off a cliff, since I'd never seen the foreground included in photos. I also didn't know there was a small waterfall leading down to it!
Being on a tight schedule with three other travelers, I didn't have time to make my way down to the shore and get a closer look, but I did try to give my own spin on it by including the falls since I love waterfalls so much. Hopefully I did it justice.

Chickamuga Lake
Chickamauga Lake is a United States reservoir along the Tennessee River created when the Chickamauga Dam, as part of the Tennessee Valley Authority, was completed in 1940. The lake stretches from Watts Bar Dam at mile 529.9 (853 km) to Chickamauga Dam at mile 471.0 (758 km) making the lake 58.9 miles (94.8 km) long. It borders Rhea County, Meigs County, and Hamilton County with 810 miles (1,303 km) of shoreline and two bridges crossing it at State Highway 60 and Highway 30. The lake is commonly used for recreational and outdoor activities, especially at the southern end, due to the high population density surrounding it. It was named after the Chickamauga (tribe) of Cherokees who used to live in the area.
Yes, we've captured and released 16 Raccoons, and perhaps 5 Opossums.
As the new houses go up, the wildlife that can escape heads our way first since we've a nice wooded lot.
Pity the wildlife that cannot escape like turtles, lizards, snakes, and fledglings still in the nest.
But we do what we can.
When setting up my laundry shot, the sunrise was such a beautiful, orange color that I wanted to try to capture it.
An abstract capture converted to monochrome with tweak for contrast...

I love capturing car Light Trails from time to time So early this morning i decided to go out & have some photographic fun :) Rush hour this morning @ Hervey Bay, Queensland, Australia

Hervey Bay
bay/ˈhɑrvi ˈbeɪ/ is a city in Queensland, Australia.
The city is situated approximately 290 kilometres (180 mi) or 3½ hours highway drive north of the state capital, Brisbane. It is a natural bay between the Queensland mainland and nearby Fraser Island. The local economy relies on tourism which is based primarily around whale watching in Platypus Bay to the North, access to Fraser Island, accessible recreational fishing and boating and the natural north facing, calm beaches with wide undeveloped foreshore zones.
At the 2011 Australian Census the city recorded a population of 76,403.[1] Hervey Bay is an area of high population growth...
Climate
Hervey Bay has a mild climate with an average 30 °C (86 °F) in summer and 22 °C (72 °F) in winter. The coast is predominantly affected by the south east trade winds throughout the summer with occasional strong northerly winds and storm swells. These winds keep the temperatures down in summer and up in winter, preventing temperature extremes. As a result, Hervey Bay rarely experiences temperatures over 35 °C (95 °F) in summer or under 5 °C (41 °F) in winter.
Cyclones are a threat at times with Cyclone Hamish threatening in 2009 as a Category 5. The land mass of Fraser Island significantly affects the pattern of weather in Hervey Bay and protects the immediate marine environment from open ocean storm effects. Cyclone Oswald in 2013 caused significant damage in the area, mainly as a result of tornadoes spawned by the system. The average rainfall for the year is around 1,100 millimetres (43 in). December to March is the main rainy period, with a secondary peak in May and June. The months of April and from July to November are generally dry and sunny.
Whale watching
Hervey Bay is the whale watching capital of Australia, with humpback whales migrating along the coast between April and October every year. Researchers at the Oceania Project conducted a 14 year study which found the bay was an important social hub for humpback whales.[15] Whale number have increased from about 2,000 in 1992, to around 7,000 in 2005.[15] Hervey Bay is the resting place for Humpback whales, Mum's and Calves, they come to the Bay to rest and build up energy for their long travels back to Antarctica. The Adults come to play, socialise and there have been heat runs observed in the Bay. The Humpback Whales are known to be very relaxed in the company of the whale watching vessels.
