Some spectacularly dramatic lighting conditions on the upper dale as seen in this panoramic view from Bail Hill above Mickleton, on New Year's Eve 2025. Standing out in the strong sunshine is Ettersgill (left) round to Middle Side and Aukside (right).
A slight change of pace: yesterday, I spent some time in Brussels, walking the city with my camera, seeking moments when light, color, shape, and people align perfectly. Street photography is all about timing—whether it's how the sun isolates a person, a bold background sets the scene, or an expression reveals a story. These are the first two shots from that day. More shots are coming soon.

Europe - Finland - Suomi - North of the Arctic Circle - Finnish Lapland - Lappland - Lapponia under fresh cover of snow during winter time
No single Northern Lights photo does true justice to what is happening on the sky during those unique moments when Northern Lights appear. After incredible experience of capturing my first ever timelapse in Iceland last year, I've headed to Frozen land of Arctic Lapland to capture Northern Lights under snowy landscape, which is often difficult to find along the coast. Average temperatures around - 25C dont make it particularly friendly experience, but the one which will always be treasured.

A quiet moment where light, texture and innocence meet.
The contrast between fragile childhood and ancient stone creates a silent dialogue between time and presence.
Sometimes the smallest figure carries the strongest story.

Winter sunshine in this view looking down the dale towards Middle Side from Holwick, under a dark sky.
Wrapped in layers of fabric and time, this enigmatic figure carries the weight of untold stories. His gaze, hidden yet piercing, speaks of resilience, survival, and a life woven with mystery. Every texture, every thread, and every shadow tells a tale—one that invites the viewer to look closer and wonder.
(Over the next two weeks, I'll be sharing a series of street shots, featuring both portraits and street scenes, from my past visits to the Philippines where I immersed myself in street photography.)

[#1 Rank - Top Five Best Images - Feb. 2016 - DM's Lair]
It was a very dark and rainy week. The sun was nowhere to be found...for days. Clouds and overcast weather systems rolled by endlessly, with hardly any color in the sky at all. We were blanketed by a low cloud-covered ceiling. It was a very good opportunity to do some black and white images with some textures and moody feeling. What else was I going to do? I didn't need my sunglasses and there was no glare...anywhere. I had to "time it" between the constant showers that were all over the place. It was gloomy and different...yet still fun.

A girl stands calmly beneath an umbrella as glowing steel wool sparks rain down in this dramatic long exposure shot, taken in front of an old abandoned fire truck.
We were out photographing and we were walking in the city Xanten, suddenly out of nowhere this leaf fell on the ground and it just lay there. I grabbed my camera and shot the leaf, this is a once in the leaf lifetime opportunity.

Europe - Scandinavia - Norway - North of the Arctic Circle - Lofoten Island - Moskenes - Hamnoy - Hamnøy - Picturesque fishing village under fresh cover of snow during pink sunset
Guilty as charged - one of the most photographed locations on Lofoten, but I simply could not help myself, because if there is A place to stay in Lofoten, it surely must be these cabins which might look like those traditional fisherman cabins from outside... but they are no longer anything like that inside. Wonderful interior, very different from when we stayed there 10 years ago.

DPS Assignment - Head Shot

This is my husband and one of my kitties gazing out the window watching the first snow fall. I thought I would try spot metering, partly because everyone I talk to about it says don't use it; and, I was hoping to get some dramatic lighting.
A lone fisherman paddles gently across the still waters as the late afternoon sun pierces through dramatic clouds, casting heavenly rays over the quiet landscape. The winding road runs alongside the calm expanse, symbolizing the meeting of human journey and nature’s timeless rhythm. Captured on a peaceful day when the world felt paused between storm and sunshine.
Near Cherai Beach, Kerala, India, 2025
FR Cinq instants volés, cinq éclats de lumière.
Un regard qui perce l’obscurité, une âme qui se révèle dans un trait de clarté.
Five stolen moments, five glimmers of light.
A gaze piercing the darkness, a soul revealed by a single beam.
A dramatic sky unfolds over the hills near Portimão, where deep blues collide with a burning horizon.

In the quiet glow of the night, every shadow tells a different story. A moment of stillness against a canvas of light, color, and contrast—where emotion speaks louder than words.
This is the chezz feeling
a whisper from my uncle’s voice,
etched in quiet lessons of foresight.
He taught me to think before I move,
because in two or twenty turns,
the board reshapes,
life complicates,
and what matters isn't just the move,
but the soul behind it.
In this picture
an eye, caught in check,
like fate staring back
from the corner of a square,
reminding me that
to live well is to play wisely.
So I offer you this moment,
this thought:
What was your latest checkmate?
A decision made that sealed the game,
or a realization that opened the board?
Share your move
I’ll be watching the play unfold.
There’s a story told in silence, behind the fold of a hood and the veil of a trembling hand.
A gaze like a whispered secret breaks through the dark, defiant and unafraid to be seen.
This is not just concealment—it is revelation.
The eye doesn’t just look back—it remembers, it warns, it watches.
In this quiet portrait of veiled emotion, vulnerability wears the mask of strength.
Look closely. There is more shown in what is hidden than in what is revealed.
She wore the night on her shoulders and a flash of violet across her eyes. Sharp lines, dark elegance, and the calm confidence of someone ready for the stage. Photographed during the World Awards in Helsinki.

As it seems that not only the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon itself is very photogenic, but also its surrounding. As I was heading for the sunset to the lagoon, I noticed wonderful and absolutely still reflection in one of those small ponds that are along the road towards the lagoon. Who would not stop for scene like this.

A torrential downpour produced by Storm Atiyah moves down Teesdale, completely obscuring Middleton-in-Teesdale from the view from Whistle Crag. The sun over Lunedale has not yet been obscured and provides foregorund illumination. 8 December 2019
