Sometimes just a little light in the right place can make all the difference in the world. Devil's Creek falls are beautiful for sure but easy to shoot because they are so easy to access. I was in the area on Sunday to shoot Shirttail Creek and the beautiful canyon through which it flows when I was walking by the falls and saw how the sun was highlighting the water as seen here. Right place at the right time I guess but I am so thankful I was there and able to take advantage of what was given.
If you are an avid Outlander TV fan,this location was used I think in the second season,and brought this wonderful place to prominence.

The Devil Inside
INXS
Here come the world
With the look in its eye
Future uncertain but certainly slight
Look at the faces
Listen to the bells
It's hard to believe we need a place called hell
The devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us the devil inside
The devil inside
The devil inside
Every single one of us the devil inside
Final image from our Bombo trip yesterday morning. This one just screamed B&W. Hope you like "The Devil Inside". Cheers Mike
“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

(Just got back from a two day trip to Dhaka, not much photography wise, but it was fun nevertheless).
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

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.

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.

After the April 2024 Solar Eclipse, I headed westbound and visited Devils Tower National Monument. The Tower is an astounding geologic feature that protrudes 867ft out of the prairie surrounding the Black Hills. It is considered sacred by Northern Plains Indians, who use different names, like e.g. the Lakota who call it Bear Lodge.
After hiking around the tower in the afternoon, I planned to shoot it with the rising Milky Way in the early morning hours. The completely clear evening sky quickly turned overcast around midnight, squashing my hopes for a successful shooting. Fortunately it cleared again about an hour before dawn, allowing me to still capture my planned compositions.
Special thanks to @cskenda for knocking me out of my nap in the car. Without him, I would probably have missed this shot.

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.
Victoria Falls is a waterfall on the Zambezi River, located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is one of the world's largest waterfalls, with a width of 5,604 ft. The region around it is inhabited by several species of plants and animals. Archaeology and oral history describe a long record of African knowledge of the site. Although known to some European geographers before the 19th century, Scottish missionary David Livingstone identified the falls in 1855, naming them Victoria Falls after Queen Victoria. Devil's Cataract, on the Zimbabwe side of Victoria Falls, is the lowest of the five Falls, with a drop of 60m.
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.
Devil’s Slide Trail is a 1.3-mile multi-use trail, converted from a former segment of Highway 1, that gives hikers, runners, bicyclists and equestrians access the rocky heights of Devil’s Slide above the Pacific Ocean.
The waterfall Devil's Mill in the german Rhön isn't easy to photograph. There's to much stones, branches cluttering the area so that it's hard to find a clean composition. This here's the best I could come up with.
I had to go for bw and some contrast reductions to get a cleaner look here. After all the water should be the focus here.
I used a polarizer and a lee 0.9 ND to get a good exposure.
PS: there are still a lot Seychelle photos in line but I wanted to provide a little change in between :-)
cheers
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.
Shown is an entry point to the Devils Springs in Ginnie Springs. This small spring run incorporates several individually named spring vents, which makes it one of the more popular locations at Ginnie Springs. Ginnie Springs, located on the Sante Fe River near High Springs, FL., is a premier springing location owing to its numerous swimmable springs and camping opportunities directly on the water.
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.
