These cliffs really tower over your head while standing in the Rio Grande. Here's a video of my Big Bend experience and a little look at life behind the lens: Big Bend National Park Video
I saw that there was going to be some sun at Mosier today, so I thought it would be a good time to test out the new IR camera. By the time I got there, though, the clouds had declared victory. I took a picture anyway. It’s not bad.
Focusing with an IR camera is not a simple thing. I remember from many years of using IR film, that many vintage lenses have an infrared mark that shows you exactly where to set the focus. Modern auto-focus lenses… not so much. I though that I could just stop down to F16 like I have done with film, but the image here is still a little fuzzy. I will have to experiment further. Some sunshine would help.
Camera: Nikon D300 converted to IR
Lens: 18-70mm Nikon VR

The Vestmanna Cliffs on the west coast of the island of Streymoy are some of the highest bird cliffs in Europe.
This is a photo of the rock formations in the cliffs at Mavillette Beach that has been copied and mirrored to create this symmetrical image.

"Crimson Cliffs Moonrise:" The previous moonrise photo I posted from Sedona was a fairly relaxed experience. This second image that I captured from the same evening was a lot more frantic, as it required me first packing up my gear from my first spot, then rushing to relocate to a different spot a drive and a hike away, then wanting to capture the moon precisely in this notch of rocks known as the Crimson Cliffs. What I did not know was all of the varied terrain involved in trying to acquire the best vantage point to view this transition, including several hillsides to go up and down, and washes to navigate, complete with lots of thorny plants to work through (even with long pants, my upper legs ended up looking like a cat clawed them when I was done), then trying to avoid tall visual obstructions, such as trees in the foreground. All in all, it turned out to be a bit more of a scramble than I had hoped, but I was extremely thankful that just as I was about to give up and turn back, I saw the moon come exactly through the narrow space between the rock pillars and also just in time before the sun completely set, giving the rocks an extreme red glow with that final light of the day. I hope you enjoy.
Paliorema, Milos, Cyclades, Greece.
On the east coast of the island, there's a small beach called Paleorema with crystal clear emerald water and yellowish pebbles from the sulphur of the area. Near the abandoned buildings of the Sulphur Mine that operated until 1957, you can still see wagons on the tracks, old rusty tools, machinery and spare parts in the wrecked storage rooms. It might be hard to believe by this description of industrial decay but, today, Paleorema is one the most secluded and beautiful beaches on Milos island.

Na costa este da ilha existe uma pequena praia chamada Paleorema com águas cristalinas cor de esmeralda e calhaus amarelados pelo enxofre. Junto às estruturas abandonadas da antiga mina que operou até 1957, ainda se podem encontrar vagões nas linhas, maquinaria e velhas ferramentas enferrujadas e peças sobressalentes e obsoletas nos armazéns arruinados. Atendendo a esta descrição de decadência industrial pode parecer difícil de acreditar mas, actualmente, Paleorema é umas das mais recônditas e bonitas praias da ilha de Milos.

The two on the left are almost done, the one on the right is just starting...we are afraid they may scare away our resident barn swallow pair, who have just laid their second clutch of eggs for the season, in their two year old nest just on the other side of the beam from the pair seen here
Three Cliffs Bay takes its name from the three sea cliffs that jut out into the bay. Pennard Pill is a large stream which flows into the sea in the middle of the bay. Individual beaches make up the bay, they have their own names, including Pobbles Bay to the east of the Three Cliffs, and Tor Bay to the west. The beaches are separated at high tide but are accessible to each other at low tide on foot over the sands.

This came out as if it was ran through photomatix, but all editing done in photoshop, not sure if I like this or the cropped mono version that I've just uploaded better?
