[Ironically, presidential candidate Donald Trump had
a rally and gave a speech in this park (last night) at
the Sunset Cove Amphitheater, which is approximately
300 feet from this spot! Reached out to Florida voters!]

"Tri-Colored Heron - Bent on Breakfast" by Patti Deters. A tri-colored heron (Egretta tricolor) bends and curves his neck while foraging for small fish in the shallow waters of a marshy swamp in Florida, USA. In the dramatic lighting of early morning, the bird is intent on hunting as many of the little fish as possible. The water is calm, as you can see by the reflection, except for where the long-legged wading bird has walked and dipped his beak to catch his food. Its a portrait of quiet confidence, where stealth and solitude meet in perfect harmony. Thank you for viewing this simple wildlife picture. If you like outdoor nature photography, you can purchase or just enjoy looking at more water birds, animals, and other fauna at patti-deters.pixels.com/featured/tri-colored-heron-bent-o....
in the still heat of afternoon, a shadow unfurls — feathers layered like ancient armour, each edge catching light and memory. the air hums with quiet tension as the vulture leans forward, eyes fixed on something unseen, patient as stone, sharp as the blade of a new moon. here, movement is measured in heartbeats, and the space between them feels endless.

Time to get the horses into the barn on a ranch in the Sandhills of Nebraska. The storm was approaching from the north and it meant business. The guys were out putting up hay when they saw it coming and started getting the horses under shelter in a hurry. I'll always remember the afternoon, the great light that gave way to a morbid green as the storm overtook us, the postures of the cowboys, and the smell of the approaching rain. Don't always get these moments in life.

Isle of Skye - The Quirang is a fascinating rock formation on the Trotternish peninsula on Skye. It is approximately two miles north west of Staffin and six miles south east of Rubha Hunish. The Quiraing is a spectacular landslip on the eastern face of Meall na Suiramach, the northernmost summit of the Trotternish Ridge on the Isle of Skye. The whole of the Trotternish Ridge escarpment was formed by a great series of landslips; the Quiraing is the only part of the slip still moving, the road at its base near Flodigarry requires repairs each year.
The Trotternish Ridge lies on Skye's northernmost peninsula known as Trotternish. The northernmost summit on this ridge is known as the Quirang which has a fantastic maze of pinnacles, cliffs and flat grass tables that were formed by an ancient landslide of biblical proportions. From below these cliffs look huge, upon closer inspection you find many intricacies - scree slopes provide entrances to reveal an intricate maze of deep chasms and huge rock walls.

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. The sun will come out tomorrow ~ Rainy Day over the Florida Everglades

Some battles happen where no one can see them.
Some storms never arrive in the sky. They gather quietly behind the eyes, in the tightening of the jaw, in the way the hands reach instinctively toward the head as if trying to hold something together before it breaks apart.
Sometimes growing up is learning how to carry what cannot be explained. Sometimes strength looks exactly like this.
I wanted this portrait to remain inside that moment, not anger, not fear, but pressure. The invisible weight that arrives without warning and leaves no marks anyone else can see.

There´s an interesting lesson to be learned from this photo. I had been trying to shoot some photos in the recreational area where I live. The light were wrong for long time exposure, people were in the way of my photos, and when it started raining I called it a day. On my way home, driving my car I spotted this scene. I hit the breaks and stopped in the middle of a crossroad. Since there were cars behind me I only had time for one shot and I had to let it count. And I believe it did. What do you think? Appreciate all input. The lesson I learned which of course is obvious is that the best photos don´t come from planning but from being alert and taking the opportunity when it comes your way.

Seltjarnarnes is one of the oldest municipalities in Iceland and originally covered the majority of Reykjavik. Today the landscape of Seltjarnarnes is surrounded by the ocean on the north, west, and south coastlines. To the east Seltjarnarnes borders with Reykjavik.
Seltjarnarnes prides itself with the amazing bird life within the town limits. The biggest bird area is within the West Area, by Grótta and Bakkatjörn. About 106 different bird species have stayed in the area for shorter or longer time periods. Over half of the bird population is Icelandic layer birds. Among the "guests" is the tern, the goose, the duck, and the eiderduck. The coastline and beaches of Seltjarnarnes is also occupied with a variety of bird life and unique flora.

Did some more studio and outdoor portrait work last night at the Art Gallery of Burlington with models on both ends of the age scale!
Starting with a young ballerina who I had previously done portraits of, and finishing with a slightly older gentleman, who I opted for a close up grittier style with.

Captured on the cliffs of Portugal, where land meets the roaring Atlantic. A lone fisherman stands fearless on a narrow rock ledge, embraced by the golden mist of the setting sun.
A quiet dialogue between man, sea, and light.
This is the color version, using soft lighting, of a small wooden figure (5 inches tall) that I photographed yesterday.
Lighting stuff: Because I wanted soft lighting, I placed a YN560-III in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box at camera left and just out of the frame. Fill light came from a small mirror at camera right. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other still life images that I've posted, are in my Still Life album.
Capturing the Essence: The Power of Shadow and Light
In portrait photography, what we choose to hide in shadow is often just as important as what we choose to reveal. This recent session in the studio was an exploration of minimalism and intensity.
The Art of the Portrait
For this shot, I wanted to move away from traditional "flat" lighting to create something more cinematic. By using a single, controlled light source, we highlighted the model's features while maintaining a deep, velvety atmosphere.
The Mood: Introspective and bold.
The Styling: A simple black turtleneck to ensure the viewer's focus remains entirely on the eyes and the expression.
The Technique: Chiaroscuro-inspired lighting that adds depth and a three-dimensional feel to a two-dimensional medium.
Only one led was use as you can see in her eyes.
Study in half-light
Description:
Study in half-light: some faces feel likea a whole story, without saying a word.
In my eyes this portrait carries that quiet history.
Camera: Canon EOS 2000D — Lens: Jupiter-9 85mm (85mm, vintage Soviet glass)

The little village of Elgol is one of the most photographed parts of the Isle of Skye. Elgol is an increasingly popular destination for climbers and hill walkers of all levels due to its unparalleled access to the famous Cuillin Hills and the various smaller hills dotted around wherever you look. Elgol is a crofting and fishing village in the Strath area of the Island. The small, sparsely populated village is scattered along the final mile of the road from Broadford.
Though you may never have heard of the little fishing and crofting village of Elgol in the Scottish Highlands, there is a good chance that you have seen photos of Elgol's famous mountain and seascape scenery in postcards, Scottish books and even film scenes and television programmes. From the larger Skye village of Broadford many visitors have turned down the enchanting Elgol road completely unaware of the magnificent scenes that await them around almost every corner. The 15 mile journey over twisty single-track roads will take you past High Pastures Cave, one of the most significant archaeological finds in the area, then sweep you around the corner to the ancient, historical site of Kilchrist church
Every mile you drive on your journey from Broadford to Elgol will fool you into thinking that the scenery simply cannot be bettered. However, you will be proved wrong when you arrive in Elgol and reach the shore and the little fishing harbour. There is simply nothing on earth to compare to the site of the Cuillin Hills beyond the Elgol shore - a breathtaking view whether it is sunny or stormy.
There are various opinions as to the meaning of the name, 'Elgol' (or Ealaghol in the native Gaelic, some suggesting 'The Noble Dale' and others 'The Weeping Swan' (folklore details the story of a Viking captain who perished when his longboat named 'The Swan' came to attack the people of Elgol).
