Difficult to imagine a more uncooperative subject other than another dragonfly
They hover briefly then dart away but give no clue as to direction.
An image captures is captured by pure luck.
I deleted dozens of images but decided to keep these few as a record of my time spent 'chasing moonbeams!!
Not quite as difficult to photograph as they're twice the height of standard snowdrops are my Summer Snowflakes. I rather feel they should be Spring Snowflakes, as summer is rather a long way off, even if they are quite long lasting.
A difficult shot taken at early morning during a strong wind and rainy day...but it was worth it! Velvia 50, tripod and scanned with Nikon Coolscan.
Uno scatto un pò difficile, preso di mattina presto durante una tempesta di vento e pioggia, ma ne valeva la pena... Velvia, treppiede, scannerizzata con Coolscan Nikon
Difficult life...!!!
Thank you for the comments, my friends and FAV!!! Since I was too busy with work, I couldn't visit and check out your wonderful photo!!!
This was a difficult bird to find… it is suspected that an abundant population of House Sparrows is pushing the Desert Sparrow out of its traditional breeding habitats. This singing male was seen with a female holding territory around an isolated building in the desert near Merzouga, southeastern Morocco.
Thanks for your visit… Any comment you make on my photographs is greatly appreciated and encouraging! But please do not use this image without permission.
A difficult-to-access stretch of the northern Taranaki coastline around the mouth of Waikiekie Stream. Sea cliffs, caves, and rock stacks are reflected on the iron sands typical of this part of New Zealand's coastline. The rusty coloured material, partially covered with vegetation, has been deposited on top of a surface that would have been the beach 125 000 years ago. Its present-day elevation show how far the coastline here has risen since that time.
The grey layered rocks in the cliffs along the beach are part of the Mount Messenger Formation, deposited about 8 million-years-ago in water depths of over 1 km, as a series of submarine landslides and sediment flows. This part of New Zealand's coastline is world famous amongst geologists, attracting many to examine and study the deep-water rocks exposed here.

A difficult one to process because of the contrast between light and shade. Being a perfectionist, I'm not happy with the slight banding in the sky, but I can live with it!
Quite the difficult model, she insists this is her "bad" side...
Just having a bit of light box fun, other examples shown below. An unintentional green and red theme emerged...but hey, you use what you have rotting in the fridge, er, umm, lying around the house! LOL
Andy was difficult way.He was a drug addict, 2 times treated in a rehabilitation hospital. A scene Kids
Now he's only 18 and he decided to try himself as a serious model. His freaky emaciation, pale skin, a sense of style will help him in this ... or maybe not
“It is difficult to date a photographer. Or at least it was difficult for me to date a photographer at that time, particularly one like Bernard, who had this uncanny ability to see secrets in people's faces. Whenever he raised his camera to snap a shot of me, I brought my hand to my face or to his lens and shooed him away. I certainly didn't want any of my secrets revealed, but even in those images of me turning away, my hand extended in protest, he caught a piece of me, one of those fleeting thoughts, and I was scared of him a little bit.”

Many thanks for all the very kind words of comfort and support offered during recent difficult months. They are very much appreciated.
Wishing you good health and happiness in 2019.
Taken on Difficult Run in Great Falls Park, Virginia. This was shot using a 65 year old vintage 1950's Canon f/1.2 LTM lens with a 6 stop ND filter.

I always try to maintain that appearance of dignity and gravitas so important in these difficult times...
Bar Island (44°23'54"N 68°12'24"W) is a tidal island across from Bar Harbor on Mount Desert Island, Maine, United States. The uninhabited island forested mostly in pine and birch is now part of Acadia National Park. There are walking trails on the island. A sand and gravel bar exposed only a couple of hours at low tide connects Bar Island to Bridge Street in Bar Harbor. At low tide visitors often walk across, or park cars on the exposed bar. However, on the island side in front of a locked gate, only a small area fringed with dense sea rose bushes is elevated enough to provide safe parking. Visitors have been known to return from a hike to find their cars submerging and themselves stranded until the tide recedes. The town of Bar Harbor has repeatedly attempted to obtain jurisdiction over this island connected to it by the eponymous bar, but a 1903 court decision confirmed that the distant town of Gouldsboro retains jurisdiction under its 1798 articles of incorporation.

Bar Island, part of Acadia National Park, is directly north of the West Street town pier in Bar Harbor, Maine. It was included in the authorized boundary of Acadia in 1986 by P.L. 99-420. At low tide, the island becomes accessible by foot or by an all terrain type vehicle across a natural gravel land bridge. Visiting there will provide a spectacular view of Mount Desert Island with Bar Harbor in the foreground. Look for Bridge Street on the north or ocean side of West Street to gain access. Before going, check for the local times of low tide and allow yourself enough time so that you will not get stuck on the island. Plan on having no more than a maximum of 1.5 hours before and after the low tide. Be sure to take a watch, cell phone, and wear hiking shoes or boots as it can be wet. Get ready for a wonderful and alternative nature fantasy tour within Acadia National Park. Once you cross over to Bar Island via the natural land bridge, you will climb over some rocks before reaching a wide path (more like a small vehicle access road) that goes up a gradual incline to the left through a wooded area. This goes for a short distance, then makes a hard right turn to the right. If you look closely to the right near the start of this road, you should see a small foot path that goes up through the woods. Taking this path will cut off quite a few steps but is a little steeper climb. Having a walking stick of some kind or even an extended photo tripod can help. The wide path or access road crosses the interior of the island and leads you to the right side as viewed from the shores of Bar Harbor to the south. You may be having a good conversation with friends and family but I suggest being very quiet. You might be surprised at what you will see. One of the earlier times when I visited Bar Island, I was walking along and decided to pause to look through some of my camera gear, anticipating the view that was going to open up once I reached the high ground. I happened to look in front of me in the woods and was surprised to see a deer no more than 10 feet away from me, calmly watching what I was doing. Their color is so well camouflaged that they can be difficult to see at a glance. [Source: www.acadiamagic.com/bar-island.html]
The "Bar" of Bar Harbor - At low tide, the namesake of Bar Harbor, a sandbar, reveals itself and is used by kayakers at low tide to easily launch into the harbor or by hikers who wish to explore Bar Island which is part of Acadia National Park, northwest of the Town pier. The gravel and sandy surface remains somewhat wet at low tide for those who wish to discover the rocks, dig in the sand, find shells, seaweed and other organisms that live on the bar through its twice a day tidal flow of up to 12 feet. This natural land bridge is accessible as much as 2 hours before low tide and 2 hours after low tide. Access to the bar is through Bridge Street, but be aware there is no parking on lower Bridge Street. Vehicles are allowed onto the bar, but caution is the word on keeping an eye on the tide.

Always difficult on Dartmoor when photographing a sunset in comparison to one at the coast. You really need the light on the landscape, without it here, I tried to minimise the middle ground by adopting a low position using the silhouette of the tree to enhance it. I was keen to capture as much of that wonderful colour in the sky as I could. Thanks for looking :-)
Difficult to not be a fan of this particular shape of Mercedes. This one is quite original looking, I would have gotten more photos but alas did not. One to revisit I feel.
A bit of a contradiction, but maybe the explanation will clear things up. One website says they are 13” long, but they seem much smaller when you see them from a distance and are difficult to spot….usually. This particular male was easy to find because he was busy calling for a mate and all I had to do was follow the calls. They usually don’t stick around and can walk though the branches of a reed like a hot knife through butter and disappear in the blink of an eye. This is a male photographed on Armand Bayou. Two shots here to give you some indication how small he is when seen from a distance in the reeds.
You can listen to the call at the link below.

I had to make a very difficult decision recently. With the economy
sucking royally my freelance gigs have almost all but dried up, save
for a single, very loyal client. In addition, energy prices for this
winter are going up by some 20% (thanks, Pepco). For the past number
of months I've watched my electricity bill slowly climb, to around
$300 for a loft apartment.
I finally decided to start crunching some numbers and found the
culprit: my Mac Pro. It takes about 600W of power to run the machine,
which is far, far more than just about every electronic item in our
home.
So, I decided to sell it. The plan for now? Use my MacBook Pro until
Apple starts shipping the LED Cinema Displays. Pick up one or two of
those. Then, hopefully in the next few weeks, the iMacs will get
revised. At that point, I'll buy one and use that as my primary machine.
I just no longer need the power (or the power consumption) the Mac Pro
provides. Do I regret it? Maybe just a little. But I think in the long
term I'll be much happier, even if I no longer have bragging rights.
That said, a gentleman is coming tomorrow with $6,500 cash and is
taking the entire set up. Here's what she looks like on her last night
in my home, just about ready to be prepped for delivery to her new
owner.
Easy to see how a fawn's camo would help to hide it from predators. Even in colour, they can be difficult to spot in the dappled of the forest.

I can't believe how difficult it was to edit this photo!
Not just the photo itself, but the pre and post production. The snowman, the scarves and the hats, they were all made by me ^^ I loved them!
After taking the pictures, which I luckily did not take so many, at least 20 but all paused between each other, It took me at least 2 hours, taking care of every detail as possible, and with the passage of time the shadow was moving and I was "roasting" myself with the heat. (in Argentina it is very hot) haha. But I think it was worth it... And then the editing took me an hour and a half.
I don't complain... I like the result ^^
_______________________________________________
No puedo creer lo que me costó esta foto O.O
No solo la foto en sí, sino la pre y post producción. TODO el muñeco de nieve las bufandas y los gorros, los hice yo ^^ Me encantó cómo quedó :3
Luego tomar las fotografías, por suerte no tomé tantas, 20 como mínimo pero todas pausadas así que unas 2 horas me ha tomado, cuidando cada detalle en la medida de lo posible y con el correr del tiempo la sombra se iba y me estaba "asando" del calor. (en Argentina hace mucho calor) jaja. Pero creo que valió la pena... y bueno, después la edición me tomo una hora y media.
No me quejo... me gustó el resultado ^^
The most difficult portrait(s) I had to do. The reason? Try to ask at two little girls to stay on the same axe for the dof(F2.8), terrific challenge :)
Difficult to give a sense of the scale..however I will try, the white trail in the middle is about 70 miles from the river to my vantage point. If you look at the horizon, you can see the elevation change of the plateau / canyon.
There are black dots on the trail. Those are Jeeps and Trucks.
We are looking at a sculpture by mother nature which is 2000ft deep and 200 miles wide . And it probably took a million years. Patience is a virtue - anyone ?
Quite a difficult bird to photograph. I only saw a couple of these on my trip, and they make short flights from cover to cover, often landing on the ground. A red bird with a black mask from face to throat. It has a large crest and red bill.

A difficult to photograph sloth bear seen rummaging for food behind some bushes by the side of a dirt road. Photographed during our photo-safari in Ranthambore National Park, India.
Ranthambore National Park is a large wildlife reserve that located in northern India in the Sawai Madhopur district of southeastern Rajasthan. The park covers 1,334 sq km (515 sq mi), and is famous for its Bengal tigers which roam freely throughout the park. It is also home to many other protected animals and plants including the Indian leopard, sambar, sloth bear, nilgai, wild boar, striped hyena, southern plains gray langur, rhesus macaque, mugger crocodile, chital and a wide variety of trees, plants, birds and reptiles.

I do not have a name yet,
I am Mum's new baby !! She heard about an abandonned litter, and she fell for me !! It's rather difficult with Boréale, because she is jealous and a little sad for sharing Mum and her toys...
Centranthus ruber 'Roseus', also called red valerian, spur valerian, kiss-me-quick, fox's brush, Devil's Beard and Jupiter's beard.

Vicolo di Palermo. Bambini,cani,galline spesso condividono gli stessi spazi di gioco in strada. Il vicolo rappresenta in quegli anni nel sud (specialmente nei quartieri più vecchi e popolari) quella “scuola di vita” all’interno della quale si formano le esperienze dei bambini ,che spesso segnano poi i percorsi individuali di ogni singolo. Percorsi difficili, rischiosi, e comunque deficitari.
Alley of Palermo. Children, dogs, chickens often share the same spaces of play in the street. The alley is in those years in the south (especially in older neighborhoods and popular) that "school of life" in which form the experiences of children, who often then mark the paths of each individual. Paths difficult, risky, and still in deficit.

It was really difficult to get this shot without people in the picture. But I managed it and here it is :)
I hope you enjoy the shot and feel free to give your thoughts on this picture in a comment.

The finale of ‘Bae-cember’, and as the sunsets on what’s been a challenging, often difficult 2024, I’d like to say ‘Thanks For The Memories’, for your ongoing support over the past 12 months, and the love so many of you have shared, and continue to share… Whilst 2024 has been a time of personal reflection, changes in direction, sometimes stepping back and consideration of the moment, if nothing else, its demonstrated as to just who has been the pillars of strength, unbeknown to some of them in all honestly.
Wishing each and everyone one of you, a fun-filled 2025, filled with peace and harmony, may it bring you joy out of your endeavours, and lets all just be kind to each other! Not going to ‘name names’ (1. there’s just WAY too many, 2. (more importantly) YOU know just WHO you are anyway!)…
At just 33.8yrs old, VH-NJM as JTE7442 to the Gold Coast (OOL/YBCG) getting airborne 34R Sydney Airport (SYD/YSSY) on a rather gloomy New Years Eve… Go the ever mighty ‘QuadraPuff’
I've had this crappy hotel room in front of my computer desk for nearly a week now, and it's been difficult to move around it. I just took it off. I would have liked to keep it there a little longer, but the camera kind of died just before I was going to shoot the last scene... :-( So I'm going to either have to build this again at a later time or move the scene somewhere else and shoot it when the camera works again. The good news is that the missing scene was for the episode after the next two, and I have everything ready for the next two episodes.
In the past I would do one episode per week, but I think that now I'll just do one or two per month. That way I won't have to stress too much about putting the episodes together. They are going to be long and heavy, though, so maybe it's best to give you all a decent breathing break after each episode. ;-) And tomorrow is the day when The Life and Tales of Elliot Crane finally continues, with a truly memorable wedding!
Please note that I mark all the episodes with even a bit of risqué material as restricted, and you won't see them unless you're signed in or if you just want to see kittens. ;-)
It's difficult for a photo to demonstrate the scale of the steep slopes lining the upper end of Carlin Gill (and most other Howgill valleys), but those trees beside Carlingill Beck are indeed tree-sized – they're not huge, but they're not bushes!
I suppose they have a sheltered, well-water location, with thin glacial soil improved by nutrients washed downhill.
Maybe statistics express it better. The very flat slope to the left of the trees ascends ~125 m from the Beck to the ridgetop, maintaining a 1-in-1.76 incline for a horizontal distance of 220 m. No wonder the sheep walk single-file on narrow terraces.
Even then, the end of the flat section isn't the top, which is beyond a further, teasingly convex slope.
The furthest ridge on the left descends rightwards from Knowles (461 m) towards Back Balk. The nearer ridge is simply on the side of Carlin Gill, between the tributary gulleys of Small Gill and Heskaw Gill. The right bank is the sparser-vegetated Screes of Black Force.
The hill in the background is Greyrigg Pike, 4 km away.
Difficult the get this frame right due to the light was coming in almost at 12 o’clock, I had to shoot 2 frames, since I noticed flare on the first frame.

To sum up a complex human being into a small collection of photos and moments of an experience you witnessed is very difficult but I try to do it each time.
