OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Just spent a couple of days at a spot called Port Parham, in S.A. The top of Gulf of St Vincent is very tidal with the tide ebb and flow stretching almost to the horizon....desolate but good for crabbing and sometimes birding.
The Jenker shown is a purpose built machine for launching and retrieving boats when the water is so shallow for several hundred metres......ah, the ingenuity of man :roll: To me this one looked quite surreal all alone out on the mudflats under a blazing hot sun. I experimented with a high key effect etc in PS, not 100% happy with the results yet, I'll tinker some more sometime.
Desolate. Cold. Deserted. Lost. Well, not really, as this seagull flies over the frozen Sea of Okhotsk, off the coast of north east Hokkaido, Japan. Flying further north, it'll reach Russia :)

This was taken in Atlantic City on the East coast of the USA a few years ago. Its the beach front prominade just near the Hilton Hotel and this structure looked like it had been abandoned for a while. It was a rainy, stormy day, Gloomy and brooding...
Most of this set look great in colour. But this particular shot looks better in a moody BW. :)

"The Desolate Hallway"
Settings: 50mm and 1/10 at f/1.8 (ISO 800)
This is day 7 of 30 in my personal challenge to post a photo to Flickr every day in April 2013. See the rest in the 30 Days of Creativity set.
Here's a picture I actually took today! I am currently on a road trip with a couple of friends to Napa Valley. We stopped at the Castello Di Amorosa Winery—a huge, stone, medieval-style castle. Inside one of the rooms, my friend David found this awesome hallway behind a gate. It was lit just right for this awesome shot. I couldn't wait to share it, so I made it today's 30 Days of Creativity photo of the day. Enjoy!
I bumped the ISO up to 800 so I could get a fairly steady handheld shot at 1/10sec. Had I brought my tripod, I might have gotten a lower ISO/shutter setting. Not much post-processing. Just light level/contrast adjustments and a 16:9 crop.

Another shot of the morning Liverpoool-Newcastle, this time with a class 47 at the helm. Sometime in early '76. Actually it might have been the Liverpool portion of the combined Liverpool/Manchester-Glasgow/Edinburgh train, which was usually a 47. 35mm Tri X/Unitol.
High winds and bitter cold temperatures (well below zero with wind chills) transformed this forzen Northwoods lake into a stark, barren wasteland of wind-sculpted snow. This is also my first digital B&W attempt...somehow, this scene seemed so fitting for that.

Our Daily Challenge ... create a mood.
It was late afternoon, completely overcast with rain threatening. I had been labouring for most of the day building a new garden. When I saw the challenge I did some quick research and went for a drive to try to find a suitable subject before dark. I wouldn't go so far as to say I was feeling desolate but I was certainly feeling rather drained, lacking energy and uninspired, so in a way I guess this image reflects my mood this afternoon.

The Valley of Desolation is a unique Karoo landscape and ecosystem that surrounds the town of Graaff-Reinet, creating a type of oasis in the midst of the aridness of the Karoo.

Went fishing in Hólmarnir near Kirkjubæjarklaustur, east of Iceland.
The surroundings of the water stream is all in black sand with mountains in the distance, it's quite strange to be fishing in this landscape.
Fire lookout Daniel Otero uses an anemometer to measure the due point and relative humidity. High numbers reduce the chance of fires, which occur most often as a result of lightning strikes.

2nd in a series (thanks, Dad!) with this mystifying school house. I like how desolate it feels....under the shadow of a very mysterious tree. Original watercolor size 11x14
My 7th shoot for Major Project, for which I am concentrating on the odd or different things contained in the area around the N11 road!!!!
