For this pinhole test I've taken three different views of a carved Tasmanian Devil outside the Wool Centre in Ross. Each were taken with the Nikon D850 and the Thingyfy pinhole adapter. I call this a test because I wanted to see how this object in deep shade would appear with the right exposure.
With a digital camera the aperture is set to the size of the pinhole which registers as f/0 in the camera. Focus is impossible because there is an unlimited depth of field, and it will be soft. In any case the viewfinder doesn't work. Manual exposure is required. One can then either set the ISO high (but this brings with it noise in the dark shadows), or on a tripod set a long exposure. I find the best results come from using 100 ISO as a base setting and then adjusting the exposure time to match the light. Pinhole is about hands on trial and error. But once you get a feel for the light conditions it is possible to make accurate guesses at exposure times and your biggest challenge will be framing the shot.
Once again the effect is not unlike that of a Holga toy camera or even some early Polaroids.

Lübeck - Moments
The legend of the devil and St. Mary's Church in Lübeck, Germany, tells of a clever deception.
In the 13th century, workers building the church told the curious devil they were constructing a wine bar. Pleased with this idea, the devil offered to help. Upon discovering the truth, the enraged devil attempted to destroy the church with a boulder. A quick-thinking worker promised to build a tavern nearby, appeasing the devil.
The "Devil's Stone" still rests near the church, supposedly bearing the devil's claw marks. In 1999, a bronze statue of a cheerful devil was placed on the stone. The Ratskeller tavern, built across from the church, fulfills the promise made to the devil. This charming tale showcases the wit of Lübeck's people and adds a whimsical touch to the church's history.
A very dry Devil’s Hole in Formby. A natural occurrence, this bowl within the sand dunes is normally a bit like a fresh water marsh, and is a breeding ground for Natterjack Toads. Not this year.
This wonderful old Juniper Pine is to be found along the Devils Garden trail in Arches National Park.
Seen at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, Brighton, Tasmania. Most of the larger Tasmanian wildlife is nocturnal so they often end up on the wrong side of interactions with motor vehicles. If you call the Bonorong hotline they will pick up the injured animal, operate on it if necessary, nurse it back to health, and reintroduce it to the wild. At the time I visited they had about a dozen devils and probably 50 or 60 kangaroos. The kangaroos will come eat out of your hand, but the devil's are enclosed. While not actually very dangerous, they have very powerful jaws and can easily bite off a finger or two if they get the chance. Devils are not predatory for the most part but rely mainly on scavenging.
“This life is for loving, sharing, learning, smiling, caring, forgiving, laughing, hugging, helping, dancing, wondering, healing, and even more loving. I choose to live life this way. I want to live my life in such a way that when I get out of bed in the morning, the devil says, 'aw shit, he's up!” ~ Steve Maraboli

You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh, yes, you are
The devil in disguise
You fooled me with your kisses
You cheated and you schemed
Heaven knows how you lied to me
You're not the way you seemed
You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh, yes, you are
The devil in disguise

On my last evening of my trip through Zion and Bryce, we decided to head over to Escalante area and drop into this location for a possible sunrise shoot. Having shot sunset at Zion, we didn't arrive here until late at night, but when I looked outside I saw some good conditions for some star photography.
As my friend Jared was getting his photography gear together, I walked over and started looking at some of the trail signs around the area. Things along the lines of: "DANGER: Slot canyons can be very tight and you can get trapped in them", and other death warning signs. Then I look down and I see a logbook for people to sign in their times and locations. Being that it's dark outside, I can't see much of anything, so I start thinking to myself, what kind of place is this? I haven't seen signs like this when I have hiked into dangerous mountains and canyons with thousands of feet drops.
Fortunately it turned out that it was more of a precaution, because there was really nothing even remotely dangerous about the area. We set out in the dark and after a bit of wondering around, managed to find these beautiful rock formations. I could see the slight hint of the Milky Way just over the horizon, so I wanted to try and capture it if I could. Once we had our cameras setup, we used some CTO gels with our headlights to do some light painting. That part however took some time to fine tune the intensity and a nice even spread. I am pretty new to adding light painting to my night photography, so I would love some feedback.

The Devil's Kitchen and Llyn Idwal in Snowdonia, photographed by peering out from behind one of Darwin's boulders
Nearly lost a bagful of camera accessories here as a hugely strong squall blew it into the stream just behind where I took this shot.
Taken at the edge of Llyn Idwal looking towards Devil's Kitchen in Snowdonia, North Wales at dusk..... such a beautiful place. Funny old thing but Paul Forgham never flinched as I went for a swim to catch my bag......... getting the shot before we lost the light being his priority - Priceless........ Cheers mate, I can still hear you laughing now!
Best seen large, thanks for your time folks.
We have just retuned from a week in the stunning Cairngorms, the weather wasn't great but we made the most of it none the less.
Here is one of the species of fungi we thought we may be a little late for. With some advice from a friend we managed to find a few specimens of this Devils Tooth, fortunately this one was still in good shape!
We then bumped into a very nice chap who turned out to be a local recorder of toothed fungi. He proceeded to show us dozens more specimens and half a dozen more species of toothed fungi. Unfortunately they had all gone their best but he invited us back up in the coming years and promised to show us around. He has also sent us an excellent guide he co-wrote to toothed fungi of the Cairngorms.

A dust devil outside Tucson, Arizona.
A dust devil is a strong, well-formed, and relatively long-lived whirlwind, ranging from small (half a meter wide and a few meters tall) to large (more than 10 meters wide and more than 1000 meters tall). The primary vertical motion is upward. Dust devils are usually harmless, but can on rare occasions grow large enough to pose a threat to both people and property.
They are comparable to tornadoes in that both are a weather phenomenon of a vertically oriented rotating column of wind. Most tornadoes are associated with a larger parent circulation, the mesocyclone on the back of a supercell thunderstorm. Dust devils form as a swirling updraft under sunny conditions during fair weather, rarely coming close to the intensity of a tornado.
Dust devils form when hot air near the surface rises quickly through a small pocket of cooler, low-pressure air above it. If conditions are just right, the air may begin to rotate. As the air rapidly rises, the column of hot air is stretched vertically, thereby moving mass closer to the axis of rotation, which causes intensification of the spinning effect by conservation of angular momentum. The secondary flow in the dust devil causes other hot air to speed horizontally inward to the bottom of the newly forming vortex. As more hot air rushes in toward the developing vortex to replace the air that is rising, the spinning effect becomes further intensified and self-sustaining. A dust devil, fully formed, is a funnel-like chimney through which hot air moves, both upwards and in a circle. As the hot air rises, it cools, loses its buoyancy and eventually ceases to rise. As it rises, it displaces air which descends outside the core of the vortex. This cool air returning acts as a balance against the spinning hot-air outer wall and keeps the system stable.
This capture of Devil's Thumb is located North of Delta, Colorado. Devil's Thumb Golf Course is named after this rock formation.
Have you ever seen anything like this?
It's called Devils Postpile National Monument - located near Mammoth Mountain in California. These unique and natural columns were formed roughly 100,000 years ago: thanks to volcanoes and lava flows.
Also interesting is that the Postpile was once a part of Yosemite National Park - but the discovery of gold in 1905 near Mammoth Lakes prompted a boundary change that left the formation on adjacent public land.

A bright spell of weather allowed me to take this high contrast image of the locally known Devil's bite, otherwise called Slieve Bearnagh, in the Mourne Mountais of Co. Down, Ireland.
This is close to the entrance of Devils Arse. I kid you not! According to the information board, its the largest entrance chamber in the UK, no idle boast.
I can stand the cold when hiking, but 30 to 40 miles wind. The wind cut right through my insulated underwear. This hike is a 20 minute strenuous hike, we didn't make it but a family of five made the hike. Devil's Courthouse is a mountain in the Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina. The mountain is located at the Western edge of the Pisgah National Forest about 10 miles northwest of Brevard. Located at milepost 422.4 of the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Devil's Courthouse has a moderate/strenuous trail climbing a half mile to its peak where panoramic views. Cherokee lore had been reported to state that Jutaculla (alternative English spelling is Judaculla; Cherokee name is Tsul'kălû'), a slant eyed giant, dwells in the cave in Devil's Courthouse.
I had never heard of it before, but scree is an accumulation of broken rocks at the bottom of a cliff or other steep rocky mass.
Puerto Iguazú, Missiones, Argentina.
The Iguaçu Falls are located where the Iguaçu River tumbles over the edge of the Paraná Plateau, 23 kilometres (14 mi) upriver from the Iguaçu's confluence with the Paraná River. Numerous islands along the 2.7-kilometre-long (1.7 mi) edge divide the falls into many separate waterfalls and cataracts, varying between 60 to 82 metres (197 to 269 ft) high. The number of these smaller waterfalls fluctuates from 150 to 300, depending on the water level. Approximately half of the river's flow falls into a long and narrow chasm called the Devil's Throat (Garganta del Diablo in Spanish or Garganta do Diabo in Portuguese). The Devil's Throat is U-shaped, 82 by 150 by 700 metres (269 ft × 492 ft × 2,297 ft). Placenames have been given also to many other smaller falls, such as San Martín Falls, Bossetti Falls, and many others.

I encountered this male painted devil (Lacunicambarus ludovicianus) wandering a small urban seasonal wetland while I was searching for frogs to photograph. This was my first time seeing this Mississippi River floodplain native in such an urban area; the habitat is far less ideal than many other places I've seen them. Obviously it was enough for this adult crayfish to exist in.
The confluence of Porcupine Creek and Devil Canyon with the Bighorn River and Bighorn Canyon at the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, a National Park Service unit that straddles the Montana-Wyoming State line between the Pryor and Bighorn Mountain ranges. The Devil Canyon Overlook, which is only accessible from the south entrance near Lovell, WY (there is no through-road from the north to south end of the National Recreation Area) offers a number of views of the Bighorn River 1000 to 1500 feet below as it flows north through the third largest canyon in the United States.

Well what can I say about the devils marbles, I genuinely think they are a photographers paradise and that I could spend a month exploring and shooting these ancient granite formations. However with only one night there I madly shot sunset, through the night and sunrise and was lucky enough to have some fantastic light whilst I was there.
This shot was taken about an hour before sunrise just as a beautiful warm glow began to play at the edge of the horizon.
