The aftermath of a storm somewhere had all this kelp washing up on the beach at Donaghadee.....it was everywhere...and stinking!! :)
My girlfriend and I... Well let's say I always wanted to explore an abandoned train station next to a commercial center and casually I was with my gf in that commercial center. I thought it would be a great idea to walk by and take some pictures and here are some of the results.
I used my Yongnuo YN460-II Speedlight triggered by a CTR-301 wireless remote.

West Pier, Brighton, East Sussex, UK
My Wife and I (sounds posh) were invited to a wedding last weekend in Kent a 5 hour journey, so rather than do it in one hit we decided to leave a day early and spend a day or so in Brighton. I coundnt believe my eyes when the hotel we were staying in was literally opposite this well photographed location, What was I supposed to do :-)
However, its really difficult to find a POV that hasn't been captured, (I even asked the hotel lobby manager if I could go on the roof H&S killed that idea!!!!
We did like Brighton thou so we will return!
Thanks for looking and please feel free to comment.
Well, even though it has been snowing and cold and definitely more winter than autumn outside for a few weeks now, I have been so busy that I had not really had many chances to take many good winter photos, or, the few that I had, I didn't want to upload yet because the fall photos had so much more colour!
So, since last Sunday I was out at the amazing Southland Dog Park with Beefy and his best doggy buddies Levi, Sage and Teddy, and I was finally able to get some nice winter shots, here is my very first winter photograph since much, much earlier this year!
These tall, skinny, leafless stalks or reeds or whatever they are caught my eye at the dog run, standing straight up against that white, snowy backdrop and the dramatically overcast sky!
It was a cold, cold day, but, as always for a weekend, there were a ton of people and dogs out at the dog park, and all 4 puppies had an absolute blast running around non stop for about an hour and making lots of new puppy friends!
No new snow today, which is nice, but it is definitely still very cold and bleak outside here!
Hope you have all had an excellent Tuesday so far!
Apartment blocks never completed to house people left homeless in the 1988 earthquake
The 1988 Armenian earthquake, also known as the Spitak earthquake (Armenian: Սպիտակի երկրաշարժ, romanized: Spitaki yerkrasharzh), occurred on December 7 at 11:41 local time with a surface-wave magnitude of 6.8 and a maximum MSK intensity of X (Devastating). The shock occurred in the northern region of Armenia (then Armenian SSR, as part of the Soviet Union) which is vulnerable to large and destructive earthquakes and is part of a larger active seismic belt that stretches from the Alps to the Himalayas. Activity in the area is associated with tectonic plate boundary interaction and the source of the event was slip on a thrust fault just to the north of Spitak. The complex incident ruptured multiple faults, with a strike-slip event occurring shortly after the initiation of the mainshock. Between 25,000 and 50,000 were killed and up to 130,000 were injured.

Sunset at 4:30pm. Landed in Vegas at 12:30pm, got rental car at 1:30pm, quick grocery stop and on to Death Valley by 2pm. My schedule was already pretty tight to make it to the Ibex Dunes by sunset. I was also hesitant about taking my rental car on dirt roads all the way. Everything was great...until the last section before where I wanted to park. There was a tiny amount of water crossing the road...deifnitely didn't need 4wd, but high clearance would have been nice. Ended up bouncing my bumper off some rocks once on the way in and once on the way out...thankfully rental car company didn't say anything, but I was stressed out. Anyways, finally made it to parking spot at like 4:05pm, dunes are another mile or so hike. So here I am sprinting across this desert flat trying to make it in time. I aimed for one of the highest dunes I saw....this picture is that dune. Literally climbed up to this spot out of breath as sun was setting...wish I could have scouted it out a little more, but that's part of the experience! These dune are really cool and I had them all to myself. Always nice when you have a good experience
Nothing like a little fog to get your imagination into gear. Holkham beach looked very desolate in the lifting mist, but only if you managed to capture a photo without one of the 349 dog walkers strolling through your shot!

Desolation Wilderness, Ca.
The Milkyway, from Desolation Wilderness. This was taken from camp on my backpacking trip last year. Every star that you see is actually in the Milkyway but we commonly refer to the streak across the sky as the Milkyway. The Milkyway is our Galaxy, which is shaped similar to Saturn and it's rings. Consider the milky streak of stars across our sky to be the rings as seen from within itself. The Sierra is always awesome for night photography.

Desolation.....
An early start to Malham, and the weather was a bit unpredicatable, but neverthless when the sun finally broke, it gave a nice gentle light across the landscape.
Detail of “The Course of Empire: Desolation”, by Thomas Cole
The series of paintings depicts the growth and fall of an imaginary city, situated on the lower end of a river valley, near its meeting with a bay of the sea.

“No soul is desolate as long as there is a human being for whom it can feel trust and reverence.”

Sometimes, we don't have anyone to turn to. Sometimes, we don't have anyone to talk to. I used the word desolate instead of alone. I suppose that makes it less alone. I don't really know. The point is, we usually do have someone to talk to. That we are never really alone.
First image I’ve shared in over two months. A summer of travel made not sharing new work a super easy thing to do, but a conscious break felt good nonetheless. I’ve found small breaks help to clear my head, focus, and reassess the “whys” and the “hows” of photography. It’s a healthy thing to do once in awhile. Having said all of this I have been shooting and producing and currently about a dozen new images are finished and slated to be released sometime soon. The images are sourced from an 11-day trek around Peru’s Huayhuash range as well as a few trips in the PNW and desert southwest. I’ll be sure to make it known when I release those images so those of you who want to view them can do so. This particular image was shot in southern Utah. A wave of intense rain swept the area and direct lighting caught the waves of moisture perfectly as they descended to the desert floor. I could shoot rain and virga every day and never be bored.
Eroded and austere, this desolate landscape has a stark beauty that is a delight to behold.
This photo was taken by a Hasselblad 500C medium format film camera with a Carl Zeiss Sonnar 1:4 f=150mm lens and B+W 67E KR15 2.3⨯ filter using Bergger Pancro 400 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
Hello! This is my first MOC and there is many more to come. So far i've enjoyed playing with weird parts and finding uses for them (the batwings here), architecture, and fun characters. Shoutout to my fiancé [http://www.flickr.com/photos/thebrickbin] for bringing me into the hobby :)
Decided to try out my cheap, variable ND-filter for some long exposure action. Very refreshing to employ new techniques, it's not everyday you get to do that! I found this rock in the water which stood out, so I fired away and got this!

Desolation Wilderness, Ca.
Ok maybe I'm getting carried away with "Desolate" in my titles...but it sounds so cool haha! This is yet another sunset shot from the unnamed lake we camped near in Desolation Valley in July. I wanted to do a fairly tight composition to focus on the "fire like" appearance of the scene - in the sky as well as the reflection. Make sure to view large on black - the cloud swirls along the horizon were really something else.
This is also a two exposure manual blend.
