The image depicts a woman in a sophisticated pose, wearing an elegant black off-shoulder dress, against a textured wall with geometric patterns. Her makeup is polished, and she has a poised expression.

Tramlines through a field of ripe barley blowing in a brisk wind as a heavy squally shower comes over. Thorpe, Lower Teesdale.
I cannot pretend to be impartial about the colors, I rejoice with the brilliant ones, and am genuinely sorry for the poor brown. - Winston Churchill

Taken with Nikon D300 & Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 using GND4 upright & GND2 upside down.
beneath the heavy folds of crimson fabric, the light filters in like a muted fire. it burns against the wall, painting it in soft, fleeting hues, while the shadows linger below, stretching across the desk. the camera rests in the dark, quiet and forgotten, waiting for its moment to capture the world outside this glowing barrier. there’s a stillness here—a kind of pause between the closing of curtains and the opening of stories untold. the air feels dense with warmth, the kind that speaks of solitude and secrets. it’s not just a curtain; it’s a threshold, holding back the world as the light leaks through.
Certaines personnes n'attirent pas le regard, elles ralentissent le temps.
On passe devant beaucoup d'images. Certaines, pourtant, décident qu'on restera un peu plus longtemps, sans bruit, sans raison apparente, comme si elles avaient encore quelque chose à dire, une fois le silence installé.
EN Some people don't attract attention, they slow down time.
We scroll past countless images. Yet a few quietly decide we'll stay a little longer, no noise, no explanation. As if they still had something to say, once silence has settled in.
Another view from this weekend's very pretty sunset at El Matador State Beach. There are so many great rocks and sea stacks and arches at this beach, the comps seem almost endless. The tide was also just right that evening--not too high, not too low--for lots of playing around with water motion.

Superb lighting conditions as patches of very strong sunshine create light and shade in Harwood. Marshes Gill farm on the left, Low End on the right,
Lit from behind with an SB600 in a snoot, from front right with an SB700 in a softbox, and from front left with an SB600 in a softbox. The light from behind was the hero here, and the sidelight was just to fill in a little. Power levels were adjusted until they looked right. Strobes were triggered by the pop up flash on my D90.
Other plants and flowers that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my strobe lit plant set. In the description, I list resources that I've used to learn how to do this. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/...
Any other fans of chiaroscuro/tenebrism/extreme light & shadow out there? It can work well in colour (e.g. the paintings of Caravaggio and Leonardo da Vinci) but I love it when I can pull the effect off in black and white. This was taken in London, between the Millennium Bridge and St Paul's Cathedral. I'm pleased with this one.
A moment of stillness.
The young white tiger pauses, eyes deep with calm strength, framed by sunlight and shadow.

The briefest of bright intervals highlights the wall leading to a tree on the horizon as a fierce squall blows in.
On croit que la lumière révèle ce que l'on voit.
En réalité, elle révèle surtout ce que l'on ressent.
La scène disparaît.
Il ne reste que le dialogue entre une âme et la lumière.
EN We think light reveals what we see.
In truth, it reveals what we feel.
The stage fades away.
Only the conversation between a soul and the light remains.
Au sol, le mouvement s’est arrêté. Il reste la posture, la respiration, et cette lumière chaude qui glisse de l’orange au violet autour d’elle. Un instant suspendu, quelque part entre la fin d’un geste et le début du suivant. La danse, même immobile, continue de parler.
EN On the floor, the movement has stopped. What remains is the pose, the breath, and that warm light shifting from orange to violet around her. A suspended moment, somewhere between the end of one gesture and the beginning of the next. Even in stillness, dance keeps speaking.

A blustery day of patches of bright sunshine passing quickly down the dale. One of them lights up a patch of Rosebay Willow Herb and thistles in the foreground, another set is shining on Holwick in the middle distance and a third on Cronkley Fell and Scar in the background. Taken from Stable Edge above Newbiggin.
You know if you rent a house from someone to enjoy your holiday in you'll often find a little book. In this book there are all kinds of notes from people who have enjoyed their holidays in the same house.
This is the book I'm talking about.

barcelona. late morning. the winter sun is hard. it cuts the pavement like a knife. two men sit at a table. they talk. they laugh. for a moment, the world consists only of this conversation. a pigeon walks across the stone. it steps into the light. it lingers there. soon the shadow will swallow it again. life takes place in the bright spots. the rest is darkness.
This is the last photo of my summer sunset-series taken here in South Florida on a wildly colorful night in late August. It was a still night with no wind and it seemed to have all of the elements needed; decent cloud formations, good color, soft mist and great reflections. The scenes seemed to change slowly from minute to minute and it lasted for well over an hour. Hope you have enjoyed my rendition of the evening and thanks so much for looking ~ Florida Everglades U.S.A.
[With complete lack of mountains; it forces us to be
more creative with light, composition and reflection]

The Flickr gods has apparently changed the rules again on how images are selected for Explore. There was a time when quite a few of mine made it into Explore, and then a long period where none made it. Who knows what causes these apparently random changes. Rotation of the earth, hole in the ozone layer, global warming, rolling of the dice? It's a mystery to me, but this image is in Explore. The ways of Flickr are not for the mere mortal to understand.
Other images of mine that are in Explore can be seen in my Explored Album.

This is a black and white version of a previous color image that I posted on flickr earlier this month. I think, and hope, that the lighting I used here lends itself well to black and white.
I lit this with one YN560-III in an 8.6 inch Lastolite softbox above and to camera left. Directional light like this creates the shadows that help reveal shapes and textures. Fill light came from a small hand mirror at camera right. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. While the Lastolite soft box is relatively small for a softbox, because it's much larger than the subject and also within 4 inches of it, the light on the flower is very soft. I converted the image to black and white using Nik Software's Silver Efex Pro2.

Superb lighting conditions as patches of very strong sunshine create light and shade in Harwood. Taken from the Cow Green access road.
Deep within the abandoned Liat mines, I captured this moment of solitary contemplation as a fellow explorer stood silhouetted against the mineral-painted walls of this forgotten gallery. The rich palette of blues, oranges, and earth tones that time and oxidation have created transforms this industrial space into an unexpected underground cathedral.
My intention was to convey the profound sense of connection between past and present that these mines evoke. The lone figure represents all the explorers, photographers, and curious souls who venture into these depths, drawn by the same fascination that once drove miners to carve these passages through solid rock. The vibrant mineral deposits tell their own story - decades of chemical processes creating art from industry.
This image embodies the spirit of modern exploration photography - finding beauty and meaning in abandoned places that whisper stories of human endeavor. Standing in these galleries, surrounded by the geological artwork that emerged from mining's aftermath, I'm reminded that sometimes the most powerful legacies are the unintended ones. These tunnels, once purely functional, have become galleries where industrial heritage and natural artistry converge in ways their creators never imagined.
On Fridays, The British Museum stays open a little later into the night.
I've been mixing up my photo editing process: I first create a monochrome version of my photo, which makes it much easier to figure out shadows, tones, and overall composition. I then bring color back into the image and focus in on warmth, contrast, and range. I don't know if this'll work too well for portraits, but I'm finding it super useful for architecture and landscape photos. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
