I am hardly to go out shooting snow nowadays due to health problem. Just an archive from 3 years ago.
Who needs a wide aperture lens to create background blur? LOL! Mist and fog do a good job at this! :-D
The sun had set before the mist rolled in and the light was rapidly fading. The blue tone is very close to how it actually looked.

we get by in this 4-wheel drive
pulling over upon a desolate roadside
the sun rises in our eyes
another mile yet to climb
here we are on the edge of our old lives
looking back on a world going up in flames

passed these on the side of the road. this was the first sunny day we've had in ages, felt so good. i know it's off-centered - couldn't be helped as i was in a hurry to get to work.
Surreal sunset in Kazakhstan's steppes just north of the Caspian Sea. (same as BW version but I like both :))
Okay, so I uploaded something similar last night, but after I did, I wasn't sure that I liked how I did the boarder, so I uploaded this version thinking it might be more pleasing, but again, I'm not all that sure. So, there. Whatever.
I feel very happy about this piece of art! Is the first time I use splatter brushes and nude models! The splatter effects are trickier than I thought but I think they seem very cool on this.
:D

I rarely come by a central station that is as empty as this station, even at night time. I haven’t cloned anybody out or used multiple exposures to get rid of people or even waited for people to get out of the way. It just was empty – except for one single person (if you can find him).
This is a 5 shot HDR taken with a small tripod handheld on the rails of the stairs. There are way too many bicycles to get room with a real tripod. Denmark is a bicycle nation, only surpassed by Holland, I think.
When shone upon with the right amount of sunlight even the most desolate place can appear charming.
Taken with Sony NEX-7 on Sony 18-55mm at f7.1, 1/200 sec., ISO100, 55mm.

I've been told this place was once the Victor Mill.. I believe it burned down several years ago. It's out in Greer past highway 14. I've always found the place to be haunting and alluring at the same time. About a 15 minute exposure.
Riding in the low light of the sunset upon a bumpy camelback presented a challenge to hold still.

Walking the Desolation Trail in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the Big Island of Hawai’i, USA.
The Big Island of Hawai'i is all about volcanoes. The island is comprised of five relatively young ones, the oldest of which erupted about 60,000 years ago. Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park (HVNP) houses two active volcanoes: Kilauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, and Mauna Loa, the world’s most massive volcano. The most recent, & still current, eruption was of Kilauea in January of 1983, and eruption that has added about 75 acres of new land to the island via lava flows.
The Kilauea lki crater, one of the park’s main attractions, was the scene of a dramatic eruption of a Kilauea vent in November 1959. The eruption lasted for 5 weeks & laid to waste to this part of the park, now known as the Desolation Trail.
