I applaud people who can pull dark nebulae from their images. Its incredibly difficult like, as one person described, trying to take a picture of dirt on a window at night. I am pleased that I got a bit of it here though, not great, but a little!

On westbound Westjet plane; unfortunately due to lack of map function in the plane, location difficult to determine
Hope everyone stays safe at home to weather this virus outbreak. Several counties in the San Francisco Bay Area have already put in place a "shelter in place" order today. The current grave situation makes me wonder what would happen to this lady I came across on the street of San Francisco over a month ago. I pray that she would make it.
Difficult to make good astro pictures so close to the city. The light down to the right is an airliner leaving the near by airport.

It's difficult to see scenes like this and not smile. Elephants are remarkably like humans, they enjoy spending time with their families, play with their cousins, feel happiness, grieve their dead and remember every elephant and human they have ever interacted with! (Ok that's not entirely human) Herds like this are increasingly rare, so it's heartwarming to see these two adolescent elephants in the centre of it all, just enjoying each other's company, in the winter sunshine of the Serengeti.

Variety and abundance always confuse and make decisions hard. Too much choice isn't helped here by an alphabetic arrangement that puts together 'unlikely bedfellow' genres, styles and artists. Just when you think you found what you need, there's an "Oh, that would be interesting, too!" - and the endless browsing goes on ;)
This was an incredibly difficult image to capture. The Trummelbach Falls are a series of 10 cascades WITHIN the mountain and are immensely impressive. However, they are also a tourist trap. Having to navigate the hoards of tourists wasn't easy and then on top of that the amount of water and mist swirling around means that your lens is dripping with water within seconds of you uncovering it, which isn't great for long exposures in the very dark conditions. Somehow I managed to come away with some half-decent shots, of which this is one.
Thie image and the others appear in the final instalment of my Alps series of videos, Part 4, which can be viewed on YouTube at the following link. I hope you enjoy it.
A deckchair (or deck chair) is a folding chair, usually with a frame of treated wood or other material. The term now usually denotes a portable folding chair, with a single strip of fabric or vinyl forming the backrest and seat. It is meant for leisure, originally on the deck of an ocean liner or cruise ship. It is easily transportable and stackable, although some styles are notoriously difficult to fold and unfold. Different versions may have an extended seat, meant to be used as a leg rest, whose height may be adjustable; and may also have arm rests.
In Northern Europe, the remains of folding chairs have been found dating back to the Bronze Age. Foldable chairs were also used in Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome.
People have wanted to "put their feet up" and have a sit down ever since man learnt to stand up.

OK guys don't forget the sunscreen, having a gentle nap is great; getting sun burnt is NOT.
It is often difficult to know how well the final product will turn out when shooting HDR. Similar to how non-digital film photographers don't have the luxury of being able to look at the camera's LCD and make sure they captured the shot as they wanted, when shooting HDR, some imagination is requrired to blend the images together in your head. I think this is where there is a lot of room for improvement in the way that we shoot HDR. If the camera were able to produce a pseudo HDR image immediately after bracketing away, it would be a great advantage for photographers, although I would never suggest it would fill as big a void as the introduction of the LCD in the first place. Beacause of HDR's increased popularity, you've got to think that someone is already working on this.
In the meantime, understanding the presence of a wide range of light in a scene, and being able to imagine an HDR image in your head is an important skill for us HDR photographers. Today's image is an example of a time where I just knew that the scene was well suited for HDR and that the subject of a Parisian enjoying a beautiful sunset would make for a great scene. The challenge with this shot was waiting for the right moment when this man stopped moving and keeping the camera nice and steady while handheld. I wonder if someday this man will ever see this photograph. Probably not...

This Ibis is so difficult to photograph, with all the long grass its so hard to see the bird, its like a game of hide and seek
very difficult lighting conditions--- harsh sunshine all around, and this bird was shaded in the tree with back light
we heard way more birds than we saw

Difficult lighting and lightning fast bird movements meant that I had to shoot this one with high ISO. I don't think that this matters and actually gives the image a nice quality, what do you think?
Its actually a difficult to believe that this is an abandonement but it's surly is. The door was broken and it has stood like this for several years according to my source. There was a telephone catalouge from 84/85 laying on a table and a dead bird on the floor. The other rooms in this house was in much worse condition. Even if there was family photos everywhere it seems like the old person that used to live here probably died or moved to another location leaving everything behind with no one else to clean it up and take care of the place.

Given the short notice, it’s difficult for the League to muster everyone to the call, but eventually the League manages to assemble in Gotham. What catches all six of them off guard though is the reason I called them in. They all expected that I was hoping to use them to oppose Ra’s and his forces. It is a logical conclusion, but that’s not what I called upon them for.
They’re crowd control.
Given West’s reluctance to Jim’s warnings, the GCPD is unprepared for leading the evacuation of the city. So if it’s going to be successful we need more than just the police. We need the Justice League.
Superman: Bruce, I really think we have more pressing issues than crowd control given the threat made against Gotham.
Flash: Especially given the escalation caused by the deployment of the national guard. How long before they get here, Vic?
Cyborg: Last reports had the estimated time of arrival at just under two hours.
Superman: Not a huge window to evacuate a whole city.
Flash: Worried you’re too slow, Clark?
Superman: Just because you got lucky during our last race Barry, doesn’t mean you’ll get lucky again.
Flash: Is that a challenge?
Aquaman: Stop it, both of you. We don’t have time to indulge in your rivalry.
Green Lantern: It’s always a weird day when I agree with Arthur.
Wonder Woman: Perhaps a more reasonable strategy would be to anticipate where this Ra’s Al-Ghul will make his first move from, so we can halt this assault with a preemptive strike.
Aquaman: Diana does raise a valid point. Severing the head of this beast before it has a chance to take root would be the best course of action.
Flash: Not to mention it sounds like an easier job.
Green Lantern: Not up to the challenge, Barry?
Flash: What? No, I was just pointing out that it’d be a damn sight easier taking on a small unprepared army than it would be evacuating a whole city.
Cyborg: Not to mention it would avoid us potentially overstraining the Watchtower’s systems in the process.
Inevitably, they all come to the same conclusion. My decision is the foolish decision. Understandable given the circumstances.
On any other day, I’d be obliged to agree.
Why make more of a challenge for yourself when you can end a problem when it’s only in its infancy?
Thankfully, I have an appropriate answer to that question.
Batman: No. We press ahead in leading the evacuation of the city.
Green Lantern: I thought he was the supposed smart one here? Even I can tell you that’s the wrong move to make.
Batman: Usually yes, it would be. We’ve faced countless villains with ambitions of taking lives on a large scale. But in this case, we’re facing something different. This is a man who knows full well his capabilities as well as those of his opponents. If he suspects your involvement, he’ll go to ground again. Or worse still, he’ll have ways to combat you all.
Superman: We can take him.
Green Lantern: We’re the Justice League. We can take anyone.
Cyborg: Don’t tempt it. You know how well things work out when you say something like that.
Flash: Especially after that mess with Hades.
Wonder Woman: You mean Ares.
Aquaman: Not to mention Amazo.
Superman: Guys, this isn’t the time.
It’s funny really. Clark was always one of the most reluctant members to join the League following the conclusion of the Star incident, and yet to the public he’s the one who leads us. The reality of the situation couldn’t be further from the truth. There is no leader of the Justice League. At least, not one that the seven of us are aware of.
Some would say that’s crazy, for a team with such diverse abilities as ours you’d need some form of a command chain to stop the clashing of egos. It’s a valid point. But probably the main thing that’s kept the Justice League together for so long is its flexible command structure. Given the diversity of problems we encounter, it makes perfect sense why the structure would change accordingly. After all, someone such as Diana and Arthur are more adept at combating magic users than Barry and I. Just as Clark and Hal are more experienced in combating threats from space.
But every once in a while, one of us has to take charge and usually, whether he likes it or not, that’s Clark. Well….when it’s not me that is.
Batman: Thanks Clark. Look. This fight isn’t your fight. It’s my fight. Ra’s hasn’t come all this way for the Justice League, he came here for Bruce Wayne, and that’s exactly what I intend to give him.
Wonder Woman: You can’t fight him alone, Bruce. As you said, he has an army of followers at his command.
Batman: So do I.
Flash: A few birds don’t really count as an army Bruce.
Green Lantern: No matter who trained them.
Batman: Who says that’s all I have?
Wonder Woman: Sounds like you’ve been busy.
Cyborg: When you’ve actually stepped out of your cave that is.
Eventually, they relent and agree to focus on safely evacuating people from the city. It’s clear as day that they’re not content with this, hoping instead to do more as is there, I couldn’t be more honoured to call them my friends. But they cannot be a part of this. This my battle, and mine alone.
I’ve known it was coming for years. I didn’t know when, I didn’t know how. But I knew what, and that gives me an unusual advantage.
Often warring armies would rely upon the genius of their generals to lead them to victory. A similar situation is now presenting itself here between Ra’s and myself. The sole difference? We’re aware of each other’s methods to some degree or another. So then the question becomes what separates my tactics from his? The answer to that question is simple.
Home field advantage.
Not to mention the fact that whilst Ra’s’ tactics are unlikely to have changed given how he’s spent hundreds of years refining them, mine have evolved. Where Ra’s will rely on the Lazarus Pit’s restorative powers to keep him in prime physical condition, I shall be relying on the arsenal I carry in my belt, as well as the blade Hephaestus forged for me. I had also hoped to be able to use the sample of Lucifer I tasked Jason with retrieving, but it appears he won’t be back before Ra’s gets here, assuming he’s still alive. I hope he’s alright.
But I can’t worry about him right now.
The battle ahead will be difficult, and it needs my full attention. They’re counting on me. They need me, and I need them.
I can’t guarantee that any of us walk away from this unscathed.
I can’t even guarantee if anyone of us will walk away alive
As I active the war room protocol for my office, I walk outside to greet the team. To my surprise, there are two extras I didn’t expect. A man and a woman. The woman appears familiar for some reason.
It’s not until I look at the man that I realise why she seems familiar to me.
Batman: Jason?
It’s at that moment that it all becomes clear to me.
Whilst the odds are not in our favour, we have one advantage that Ra’s does not.
His army are simply soldiers. Loyalists. Servants.
Mine are family, and we will do anything to help one another.
Some come with all that you can muster, Ra’s.
Your fight isn’t just with me.
Your fight is with us.
All of us.
Trying to photograph bubbles. I always thought this picture needed something. I would hang it for the colors, but there was always something that bothered me about it. It seemed to me there was a hole in the middle that should have someting in it. Then suddenly today, I realized what it is: it needed bubbles - that's all just some bubbles. And so, voila, a slightly altered work of art.
Difficult to believe its England.
Untypical weather ? No it doesn't rain "all" the time in Britain.
Beer in Devon, England.
When I started to hike this trail I never imagined it was going to be that difficult. I'm not used to high altitude because I live at sea level. This trail is a mile long and you gain 140m (460ft) in altitude. This trail starts behind the boathouse and has a walking time of 30-45min. This trail is very steep, every step is at an incline and proved to be one of the most difficult paths I'd ever taken. I was worried I was going to have a heart attack. Ha,ha,ha!
At the top of the trail you reach a platform but unfortunately the forest had overrun the scenic view. Luckily, I was able to be a little creative and take this photo hand held while hanging onto an overlook railing! Enjoy!
Cuando empeze este trail, nunca me imagine lo dificil que seria llegar a ese mirador. Viviendo al nivel del mar no estoy acostumbrada a estas alturas y la verdad que lo minimo cansa a una. Este trail tiene una milla y la altura ganada es 140 m. Uno se demora en llegar 30-45min. La vista es espectacular pero llegue alla arriba que casi me da un infarto, ja,ja,ja.
En la cima de este camino hay una plataforma con un mirador. Desafortunadamente los arboles han crecido mucho y para lograr esta vista tuve que hacer piruetas y colgarme de la varanda. Espero que le guste.
As always, thanks for stopping by and looking, I appreciate your comments and visits.
It's really difficult to shoot these festivals and anyone who thinks otherwise should really read the following:
I was assigned both Foals and The National that were playing 15 minutes apart across an extremely crowded sold out park this past wekeend at Lollapalooza. This is Grant Park, which is incredible stretched out. To make matters worse, the stage closest to Foals was the stage Ellie Goulding had just finished playing. About five minutes before Foals was supposed to start and after Ellie had just finished, the stage manager told myself and all other photographers who had been waiting in line (As per my usual, I was there early for my assignment), that the band had decided they wanted photographers to shoot the last three songs instead of the first three.) I then ran like crazy to catch The National.
Now, you hear about stampedes and people dying at music festivals. I am prone to panic attacks and claustrophobia but the kind experienced by the throngs of Ellie Goulding fans was pretty beyond tolerable. I literally felt like I stopped breathing at one point and then I had to run even faster with all of my camera gear in tow just to not miss The National.
I shot The National (Matt Berninger is always dull in the first three songs anyway and now they have a right grab photo contract and all he did was wear sunglasses and slightly open his mouth). Then, I ran like crazy the 3/4s of a mile back to Foals and worked my way through another relentless crowd.
And, do you know what this photographer was told after she ran herself ragged and thought she was going to die? She was told that the band's manager had changed his mind halfway through the first song and decided photographers should shoot the beginning of the set. They wouldn't allow me in the photopit at all.
People, I am not one to give up on an assignment. When I couldn't get good pit shots of Justice last year because of that ridicous cross they sat on top of, I embedded myself in the crowd and got beer spilled down my back. I have been pushed and elbowed. I have been jeered at while running with all of the hopes of my knees not giving out "Get out of the way of the female photographer. She has to get her shot right now" said one sarcastic adolescent male on my way back to Foals.
But, I always get my shot. The festival organizers are actually incredibly nice to me but bands should really start making up their minds, though. That would be pretty helpful to a girl like me.

I sent Pitchfork both this shot and another shot. Here's a link to the shot they used and posted:

I have found great solace in hunting and photographing birds. I become obsessed with the birds that are very difficult to capture, nervous songbirds like these beautiful tree swallows.
We were making our way to Elk Island Park along the backroad to Josefburg when I noticed several tree swallows sitting on power lines. Whoever owned the property had erected small birdhouses on the fenceposts.
We pulled over and I hopped out. The day was beautiful, with pretty light, and I had plenty of time. So I took a few test shots, and set my camera controls.
I joyfully photographed the birds as they flitted about. I got some pretty good shots, but nothing outstanding. However, with nature...there can be a surprise in store...and there was.
I saw one of the tree swallows land atop a fencepost. It was a little closer to me, so I decided to make it my subject...and I am so glad I did. For within a few seconds, I captured this remarkable behavior.
I had no idea what I was watching; I only knew that it was amazing. Thank God for burst mode...I had my exposure in good shape, so I just let the frames slide by.
I was stunned after returning to the car, and reviewing my images.
Later, I did some research to find out what the heck the birds were up to. I discovered that this is part of the tree swallows mating rituals. How odd...screaming at each other. Yep, that would do it for me. LOL
I am turning all these images live, something I don't normally do...but I am so proud of them.
Please enjoy, but don't feel the need to comment on all of them. Really, it's okay.
I have my reward. Thanks, God.
Blessings,
Sheree
I know these might not look like spectacular pictures, but they’re incredibly difficult to take. Ever heard the expression “quick as lightning”? So in the same split-second, you have to spot the lightning bolt in a sea of black clouds from 400 km above, aim at this minuscule white dot with your viewfinder and a big 800mm lens, focus (in the dark), and shoot. Needless to say this is impossible unless you figure out another technique… Oh well, maybe looking at the thunder striking the planet from above the massive night clouds doesn’t impress you, but I find it excessively beautiful and menacing, like swimming in deep dark waters at night and wondering what’s below you… Huge respect to Andreas Mogensen who only spent eight days on the ISS but still managed to capture a lightning strike and an even more elusive blue jet erupting upwards from it. His photo (well it was a video still actually) encouraged the "space storm hunter" ASIM facility that is now outside the Columbus module. It is purpose-built to take pictures like this, but they are not so beautiful as they use different wavelengths that are much more interesting and useful to scientists. Also it takes 720 pictures of our planet a minute... continuously, how can we compete with that? Come to think of it, Andreas must be an extremely lucky guy! ;) ASIM is revealing things nobody knew about thunderstorms, explaining new phenomena and discovering new ways of how lightning is interacting with our atmosphere and influencing our climate! www.esa.int/asim
Survolés de nuit, les orages sont spectaculaires, à la fois magnifiques et un peu inquiétants – un peu comme nager de nuit dans des eaux sombres sans savoir ce qui se cache dans les profondeurs... On devine la couverture nuageuse qui recouvre les lumières des villes et donne une texture ouatée au noir du sol, et puis de manière aléatoire, une espèce de boule de lumière s’allume ici et là et dessine les contours du nuage jusqu’ici complètement indistinct dans l’obscurité.
Pendant ma première mission, je n’ai jamais réussi à prendre d’orages en photo de nuit, pour la simple raison que la durée d’un éclair ne donne pas le temps de viser, faire la mise au point et prendre la photo… Cette fois-ci j’ai changé de tactique : je vise une zone d’orages intense avec une mise au point qui devrait être la bonne et je prends les photos au hasard en espérant avoir la chance qu’un éclair claque au moment où j’appuie sur le déclencheur (et que mon exposition et ma mise au point sont correctes). Pour une fois, après 5 minutes de mitraillage, je ne suis pas revenu bredouille de la chasse aux éclairs. Mon collègue et ami Andy Mogensen a quant à lui réussi à photographier des jets bleus jaillissant par-dessus un orage pendant sa mission en 2015, dans le cadre de l’expérience THOR, et a ainsi permis de lever le voile sur un phénomène jusque-là resté très mystérieux. A la suite de son cliché, l’ESA a fait installer l'équipement ASIM sur l’extérieur de la Station, capable de mitrailler les orages (longueurs d'ondes différentes et 720 photos par minute !). On a encore beaucoup à apprendre sur la foudre, notamment comment elle interagit avec notre atmosphère et influence notre climat.

Taken in VERY difficult conditions . A very strong wind battered us and the camera .
Notice the very blurred Grasses in the foreground !
Just as well i was holding the camera "Down" !
the outcome of not holding it down would have been "Painful" .
It is difficult to imagine that this idyllic Shropshire landscape was involved in the lead-mining industry in the 19th century. Most of the evidence of this has now disappeared though there are the remains of a couple of engine houses within a short distance of here. When I first arrived I thought I was back in Cornwall with its old tin-mining industry! This is looking towards the west, while behind the camera is the Stiperstones, an eight mile-long quartzite ridge formed some 480 million years ago. In the distance is Corndon Hill, which is 1,683 feet above sea level at its highest point. A few miles beyond that is the Welsh border. This area is known as the Shropshire Hills, and is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Found a mated pair, don't see the nest yet, very difficult to find and don't want to disturb them.The costal birds have this brown cap, the inland ones, don't, I guess Sacramento is now coastal. lol.

Alright so last week I was in Halifax for a few days because my brother was getting married, it wasn't anything fancy he and his wife were just signing the papers, no big ceremony. They plan on doing the ceremony sometime next year over in Korea (his wife is Korean, we're Chinese). So of course my family and I went over to Halifax for a few days.
During my second last day there we went over to the rolling hills by Peggys Cove (Polly Cove Trail is what the area is called) and this was my favourite spot. I was there last year with 2 of my friends and I fell in love with the place so of course I'd go back there. Actually the rock you see in the distance on the left side of the frame is where we were last time I was here (you can see that photo in the comments). Its just the fact this time I was able to hang around there till sunset! I was originally going to do a panorama of this shot but the Mitakon 50mm F0.95 flares like no tomorrow. which makes doing panoramas with a backlit subject very difficult. But hey the F0.95 is still shallow enough for this wide shot. I do like it over in Halifax, almost makes me want to move out there, plus its cheaper compared to the west coast!
Imagine my surprise when I saw this poor Deer stuck on top of this pole. I never knew they were such good climbers. Once up it's very difficult to get them down though.
Imagine my second surprise to find this photo is in Explore ! Thank you !

It was quite challenging to get a halfway acceptable shot with this lens (300mm) on a windy day
It's not that I'm difficult to please or anything, but I was never keen on this sort of thing ...I mean commemorative liveries, or anything with a whiff of "heritage" or tourism-mongery about it. This Gardner-engined LD, new in 1956, was withdrawn on the last day of 1972 and rebuilt as an open-topper. They were planning ahead, for 1973 was to be the year of the "Bristol 600" celebrations ..the 600th anniversary of ...what was it? ...the granting of the charter that made Bristol a county? The signs on the boundary as you entered Bristol used to announce "City & County of BRISTOL", but I would guess that the county status disappeared the following year in Mr Heath's reforms of local government. Has anyone asked the question?
An "open-top tour", route number 600, was introduced. Everyone made approving mooing noises and a photographer from the Evening Post (everyone loves free advertising) probably came round to take one of those photographs of the General Manager posing in front of the bus, shaking hands with the driver. The driver, by the way, would have been "Father" Williams, of the Lawrence Hill Miscellaneous roster, which was a kind of anteroom to retirement. He, Sam Cocking and Tommy "Dogger" Davies managed to get in on every cushy number that was going. The service was retained the following, non-commemorative, year and by the date of the photograph, Friday 27th August 1976, had become the "Open Top Circular". The bus had just returned from a day of plying the attractions and was to be be parked under the roof of Lawrence Hill depot's Shed, off right of this view; it might rain in the night and wet seats on the top deck were to be avoided. A glimpse in the distance of LS no. 3000, which had been withdrawn at the end of March and never re-entered service after having that brand new panel fitted on the front. Have you spotted the Paint Shop's little pun? The foot step behind the front wheel corresponds with the position of the tunnel portal under the Suspension Bridge on the Bristol - Portishead railway line.
My Dear Friends in this difficult time we need so much Hope, Light, Love, Warmth...
Here is I would love to share " Moving stories of the people from Japan", which I received from my Dearest hearty friend - Bridgy, you can see her photostream, full of light and love here: www.flickr.com/photos/10334788@N02/
Thank you, Bridgy, very much for your support!
°Moving stories of the people from Japan. °
I translated some from @prayforjapan, some are from TV news I am hearing. There is so much love and hope and beautiful stories even in such devastated times.
A high school boy was saved because he climbed up on top of the roof of a department store during the flood. The flood came so suddenly, that he saw people just below him.. trying to climb up the roof … being taken by the flood. But he knew that he had to leave something that showed that he and these others were alive… so he kept filming that situation. He still cant reach his parents but he says, its no body’s fault. There is no one to blame. So I know we have to stay strong and be positive. That is the mission of those who are alive.
I saw a little boy thanking the station staff saying “thank you so much for trying hard to run the train last night” the staff had tears in his eyes, and I was crying…
In the super market where all the things fell, people were picking up things so neatly together, and then quietly stand in line to buy food. I was glad to be a Japanese.
A foreign friend told me, they were shocked to see a looong queu form so neatly behind one public phone. Everyone waited so patiently to use the phone even though everyone must have been eager to call their families.
The traffic was horrible!! Only one car can move forward at green light. But everyone was driving so calmly. During the 10 hour drive (which would only take 30 minutes normally) the only horns I heard was a horn of thank you. It was a fearful time … but then again a time of warmth and it made me love Japan more.
Last night when I was walking home (cause all traffic stopped) an old lady from the bakery shop which was totally passed their closing time was giving out free bread. Even at times like this, people were trying to find what they can do and it made my heart warm.
When I was waiting at the plat form, so tired and exhausted… a homeless person came to us and gave a cardboard to sit on… even though we usually ignored them in our daily life… it was so warm
Suntory (juice company) are giving out free drinks, phone company creating more wi-fi spots, 1000000 noodles given from food company… everyone is helping the best they can. We have to do our best too, to stand up.
When I was walking home for 4 hours… there was a lady holding a sign that said “please use our toilet” they were opening their house for people to go to the restroom. When I saw that, it made me cry feeling the warmth of people
At Disneyland, they were giving out candies. High school girls were taking so many so I was thinking “what???” but then the next minute, they ran to the children in the evacuation place and handed it to them. That was a sweet gesture.
When there is a black out, there are people working to fix it. When the water stops there are people working to fix that too.. and when there is problem with nuclear energy there are people going there to fix that. It doesn’t fix automatically. While we are waiting for things to be fixed saying we are cold.. there are people risking their life to fix it.
An old man at the evacuation shelter was saying “whats going to happen now..” and then a young high school boy sitting next to him said “don’t worry!! When we grow up, we will promise to fix it back !!” and was rubbing the old mans back. And when I was listening to that conversation, I felt hope. There is a bright future
Okay, so we experienced the world biggest… M9.0 Then we got to make the world biggest energy and love too… to build back our life.
