Skogafoss In The Mist (2016-06-22 12:43)
Skógafoss is one of the biggest waterfalls in the country with a width of 25 meters (82 feet) and a drop of 60 m (200 ft). Due to the amount of spray the waterfall consistently produces, a single or double rainbow is normally visible on sunny days. This was not one of those sunny days. The mist, however, lends a beautiful mystery to the image, especially in this 2 second long exposure.
According to legend, the first Viking settler in the area, Þrasi Þórólfsson, buried a treasure in a cave behind the waterfall. The story also says that the chest was found years later, but they could not grasp the chest, only getting the ring from the side of the chest. This ring was given to a local church, which in turn gave it to a museum. However, I did find the treasure, and I should be handing in my resignation to work shortly. Nikon D610/Nikkor 28-300mm. 2s f/29 ISO 200.

Abandoned movie lot, Mojave Desert. Everything here was very consistently Roman or Greek looking, and the old set location was littered with columns, some standing, some fallen, as well as busts, statues, reliefs, and stands as well as plaster molds. I illuminated the columns while the camera shutter was open with a hand-held Protomachines LED2 flashlight. Thank you to David Dasinger for taking me here. Nikon D610/14-24mm f/2.8. 233s exposure. The white streaks in the sky are stars, as the long exposure of the photo shows the movement of the stars due to the earth's rotation over a long period of time.

The Joshua Twins Star Trails (5477)
This is a star trails photo, showing the movement of the stars as created by the rotation of the earth over 30 minutes. I love how a single image can show movement over such a long time! This is a real photo taken at night during a full moon. I set my tripod-mounted camera to a long exposure, keeping the shutter open for a long time, which makes the camera much more sensitive to light than our eyes on this already bright evening. I illuminated the foreground with a hand-held ProtoMachines LED2 flashlight to bring out more depth. I used a Pinout remote controller/app to set and trigger the camera.
I took this photo in Joshua Tree National Park, CA, hanging out with Dave Dasinger while doing so. JTNP is my spiritual home for night photography, and it felt utterly fantastic to return here to photograph here at night and hike during the day.

History
The History of Brougham Hall
When Brougham became settled and fortified is unclear and information about it in medieval times is scarce but it is easy to see what drew medieval knights to the site with a natural defensive position on the brow of the hill and water from two nearby springs. Surviving walls, gates and other parts of Brougham Hall date back to about the 15th century. Brougham Hall, a grade II* listed building, was initially owned by the de Burgham family, a possible forerunner to the Brougham name, of which more than ten different spellings have been found.
By the sixteenth century, a large and complex range of buildings existed on the site, including a manor house, a byre and a gate, to which a seventeenth century pele tower was added. The Broughams, of Brougham Hall, became extinct in 1608 and it passed out of their family. Following many changes of ownership, the estate eventually passed, for the sum of £1,500 in 1651, into the hands of the owner of Brougham Castle, Lady Anne Clifford, Countess of Dorset, Pembroke and Montgomery. Lady Anne Clifford was responsible for the conservation and restoration of 14 castles between Skipton, where she was born, and Brougham. Extensive renovations were carried out to the Hall by Lady Anne. It passed to her agent James Bird, upon her death, in 1676. Ambitious James Bird was responsible for extensive building work and oversaw the greatest expansion of work at the Hall.
Brougham Hall was re-acquired for the Brougham family when John Brougham of Scales (who was made a Commissioner for England in 1715) bought the estate back in 1726 for the sum of £5,000, when the Hall became the family seat of the Brougham family. The Hall was largely rebuilt from 1829 to 1847 and again in the 1860s at which time it was the home of the Lord Chancellor Brougham. Brougham Hall reached its zenith in Victorian times when it acquired the name of ' the Windsor of the North' owing to royal visits by King Edward VII and his son, the future King George VI, who became regular guests between 1857 and 1905.
Brougham Hall again passed out of the ownership of the Brougham family in 1934 and rapidly fell into decay. It was then abandoned, roofless, and commandeered by Winston Churchill for the development of one of the Allies five most top secret weapons of WWII. This only served to further its decay. An extensive programme of restoration, which was to become one of England's most ambitious country house restoration projects commenced when it was bought by Christopher Terry, in 1985, who saved it from destruction.
A scale model of the Hall can be viewed by prior appointment, and a charming Cromwellian Chapel of St. Wilfrid's, designed and rebuilt by Lady Anne Clifford, stands alongside the Hall. The chapel replaces an earlier edifice on the site and contains some superb medieval woodwork placed there by Lord Brougham in the 1840's.
About Ullswater
Many consider Ullswater to be the hidden gem of the Lake District and as the most beautiful of the English Lakes. It is pure and tranquil and relatively unspoilt by the tourism and commercialism that blights many other Lake District towns.
Ullswater is the second largest lake in the Lake District, approximately 9 miles long, ¾ of a mile wide and nearly 200 feet deep. It was formed after the last ice age when a glacier scooped out the valley floor then filled with meltwater when the glacier retreated.
You’ll not find high street shops in the Ullswater Valley, or rows of trendy bars, but quaint villages, welcoming pubs and stunning scenery. From Pooley Bridge at one end, to Glenridding at the other there are a scattering of lovely villages that attract visitors from all over the world.
The ‘jewel’ of Eden
The area is very popular with fell walkers exploring some of Wainwright’s most loved mountains such as Hellvellyn and its breath taking Striding Edge. A visit to the National Trust’s, Aira Force waterfalls offers another stunning adventure, whilst a trip on the Ullswater Steamer offers something for all the family…topped off with an ice cream to finish!
Ullswater is very popular as a sailing destination, with several sailing marinas situated around the lake. The prestigious Lord Birkett Memorial Trophy is held annually on the first weekend in July. There are also facilities for diving, rowing and motorboats as well as canoeing for those more adventurous. Ullswater was the home of the world water speed record on July 23, 1955, when Donald Campbell piloted the jet-propelled hydroplane “Bluebird K7” to a speed of 202.32 mph (325.53 km/h).
We could not mention Ullswater without mentioning William Wordsworth, who was inspired to write the poem “Daffodils” after seeing daffodils growing on the shores of Ullswater. As well as many beautiful daffodils and a plethora of other stunning flora and fauna, Ullswater offers some of the most beautiful scenery in the UK.

Trip The Rhyolite Fantastic (5684)
Rhyolite under the starry Milky Way. Rhyolite is one of the best known ghost towns in the West, founded in 1904, and at one point having a population of 10,000. This evening, I was excitedly testing a new lens, an Irix 15mm f/2.4, which seems quite good so far. I illuminated the former Cook Bank building with a hand-held LED flashlight during the 15 second exposure
Nikon D610/Irix 15mm f/2.4 lens @ 15s f/2.4 ISO 5000 on 2017-03-23 22:10.
