Deep within the dimly lit chamber, the alchemist’s workspace glows with an eerie warmth. Ancient tomes whisper forgotten secrets, bottles filled with strange elixirs shimmer under candlelight, and cryptic symbols hint at dark transformations. Tonight, a forbidden ritual is about to unfold…

 

Au cœur de la chambre faiblement éclairée, l'atelier de l'alchimiste brille d'une lueur inquiétante. Des grimoires anciens murmurent des secrets oubliés, des fioles remplies d’élixirs étranges scintillent sous la lumière des bougies, et des symboles cryptiques suggèrent de sombres métamorphoses. Ce soir, un rituel interdit s’apprête à être accompli…

Antalya (formerly known as Adalia or Attalia; from Pamphylian Greek: Αττάλεια Attáleia) is a city on the Mediterranean coast of southwestern Turkey, and the capital city of Antalya Province. Situated on coastal cliffs, Antalya is surrounded by mountains. It is not known when the site of the current city was first inhabited. Attalos II, king of Pergamon, was believed to have founded the city around 150 BC, naming it Attalia and selecting it as a naval base for his powerful fleet. However, excavations in 2008 in the Doğu Garajı district of Antalya have uncovered remains dating to the 3rd century BC, suggesting that the city was founded earlier than previously supposed. Antalya became part of the Roman Republic in 133 BC when King Attalos III of Pergamum willed his kingdom to Rome at his death. Development and investment, began in the 1970s, have transformed the city into a major international resort.

 

I dont know why, but when hearing Antalya before my last trip, I pictured kilometers of sandy beaches covered with one resort next to each other, sunbed next to sunbed ... simply perfect place for the mass tourism and last place I'd like to spend my holiday. Bigger the surprise when arriving to the beautiful boutique hotel in the very center of old Antalya called Kaleiçi. It is restored historical center of the city - with its hotels, bars, clubs, restaurants, and shopping. It retains much of its historical character. The city includes sites with traces of Lycian, Pamphylian, and Hellenistic -but mainly Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman- architecture and cultures. Old city is now beatifically transformed and most of the wonderful Otoman houses are now hotels with lot of charm.

 

This particular beach location was more of a surprise as I planned to shoot the morning blue hour in the old harbor (after checking to the hotel at 1AM, 5AM wake up call is something we all dream off !! ) Blue hour shoot in the harbor didn't give me what I was hoping for, but I didn't give up and just wondered around as the sun was rising up behind the city beautifully coloring the mountains on the horizon. I've discovered small, rather hidden beach with beautiful rocks which created perfect foreground for this shot.

Saturation has been pulled aggressively everywhere except the warm tones — sky pushed toward cool monochrome, distant canyon rendered in graphite, foreground stripped of native red. The result is closer to selective color than to a natural rendering. It's a graphic, almost cinematic interpretation. Whether that lands depends on the viewer. Traditionalists will argue the desert at dawn is warm everywhere and that this edit fights the scene's actual color logic. Others will read it as a confident stylistic choice that isolates the arch as the singular subject and refuses the postcard treatment. Both readings are defensible.

Thanks so much for taking the time to look through my imagery!

The "fallen angel" statue by Ricardo Bellver (1877) is inside Madrid's park El Retiro. It's the only devil statue worldwide.

The statue was inspired by Milton's poem "Paradise Lost".

Satan, though capable of disguising himself as an "angel of light" (2 Cor 11:14), is the leader of the fallen angels. The Book of Revelation tells of "that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world," being thrown down to the earth together with his angels".

Glossy paint, sharp rims, taut canvas roof — every detail speaks of precision.

Behind it, an old house bears the marks of decades.

Winter becomes the neutral ground where past and present quietly confront each other.

For years, the Engelsley ridge had been visible above Altenahr – a wooded slope, a wall of rock, part of a familiar landscape. Only that morning did it become a path.

The series follows the transition from first light at the Schwarzes Kreuz and the sunstar at the Teufelsloch to the narrow, unsecured ridge. At the most difficult sections, the camera stayed on its strap. Both hands belonged on the rock.

In the end, the path did not lead back into the valley, but over a wall and into Are Castle.

Seit Jahren lag der Engelsley-Grat sichtbar über Altenahr – als bewaldeter Rücken, als Felswand, als Teil einer vertrauten Landschaft. Erst an diesem Morgen wurde er zu einem Weg.

Die Serie folgt dem Übergang vom ersten Licht am Schwarzen Kreuz über den Blendenstern im Teufelsloch bis auf den schmalen, ungesicherten Grat. An den schwierigsten Stellen blieb die Kamera am Gurt. Dort gehörten beide Hände an den Fels.

Am Ende führte der Weg nicht zurück ins Tal, sondern über eine Mauer auf die Burg Are.

Wanting to play with dramatic lighting on a subject that had defined muscle tone, I talked Cameron into posing for this shot.

When I moved to PEI a little over a year ago, I drove past this scene on the last day of my road trip from Whitehorse to Summerside. On that day it was pouring rain and we were too exhausted and too close to our destination to stop. Today, I took my first trip off Island since arriving and my destination was the zoo in Moncton New Brunswick. On the way back to PEI, the cloud had moved in and the sky was looking very moody. Fortunately, just as I passed this place again, some brilliant golden light crept through the clouds and lit this brush just for a minute. During that brief window I was able to capture this. The light was perfect! How perfect? Well, I just ran a few minor adjustments in Lightroom, and no local adjustments whatsoever. This is what I saw. It is such a cool place!

 

This photo was taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/2.8 Pro at f/3.5. No additional filters were used and standard adjustments only in Lightroom. This is not an AI generated or modified image.

This photo was taken at incredibly beautiful and overwhelming place - Praia da Ursa (Ursa Beach). The rocks, the waves and the wind make for a mindblowing spectacle. It is considered the most beautiful beach of Portugal and one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. This picture was taken with the strongest sunset light just before the sun has disappeared for that day.

Yesterday I was in Emmerich am Rhein in Germany and I was trying to capture a beautiful sunset. This couple came down the road only to watch the sunset, I waited for the right moment and captured this moment.

A dramatic coastal scene captured at sunset, where the final light of day breaks through heavy clouds and reflects across a darkened sea. A solitary lighthouse stands watch on the rocky shore, its warm beacon offering contrast against the deep shadows and gathering night.

 

The image explores light versus darkness, calm versus threat — a quiet moment of reassurance as day gives way to night.

I have taken this shot from higher view point using 190 sec for exposure that would beautifully smoothen the sea and give it silk effect.

The opportunities for mountain portraits were just everywhere on Baffin Island. So many of these scenes came and went, and I was more than happy to catch as many of them as I could!

A quiet autumn afternoon in the Niepołomice Forest area, where birch trees glow in warm sunlight and the moon gently rises above drifting clouds. The path through the tall grass leads into the calm of nature — a perfect moment between light and stillness.

This is shot from a bridge over the highway, it wasn't completely dark but dark enough to accomplish this image with a very low shutter speed.

When I am at work in my little studio my Iphone gently fills the room with music. U2 is my favourite band so I thought lets capture this moment. I didn't use a flash I used the light from a small window.

This moody portrait was captured by photographer Gary Asheton, lit with a Fotodiox 12" X 84" strip softbox mounted on his Paul C Buff UtraZap 800. Click here to learn more about our softboxes: bit.ly/2F45C9r
