Sunrise at Monument Valley
It's been a while since I've been to Monument Valley. This was shot w/ a Nikon D70. Don't really recall if these rocks in the foreground were the rocks right in the parking or I took a walk to find something different.
I do remember the Navajo guides talking about all the cool places they could take me to and all the different prices ranging from $200 and I talked some down to $40. That was in 2006, I wonder what they would charge now. I really wanted to go to Teardrop Arch but couldn't afford it at the time. Now I think there is plenty to find in the wilderness to go off and explore on your own.
I'm getting married tomorrow and people keep asking me if I'm nervous yet? No not yet, kind of perfectly calm. Excited yes!

Oman is a stunning place to visit with lot of beautiful nature to see. I was also lucky to experience wonderful strong storm just before sunset. I just had to find some point of interest to make it work even more. This tree/bush worked just fine.

A patch of strong sunshine provides some brief foreground and middle distance lighting, but Cronkley Scar and Widdybank Fell are about to disappear as the next powerful squall comes in. Taken from the top of Harthope Bank under a wild sky on an extremely blustery morning.
In a single heartbeat, bodies collide and time bends—this is where resolve meets resistance, where grit is measured not by the scoreboard but by the will to hold on. One lunges forward, eyes on the try line; the other digs deep, anchoring his team’s last hope in a blur of instinct and adrenaline. Every blade of grass is a battlefield. This is rugby in its rawest poetry—a suspended instant of chaos and commitment, where courage wraps itself around the ball and refuses to let go.
First shoot with my Canon 7D.... natural light with a single reflector which, if I remember correctly, my model was holding herself haha...

A torrential localised downpour passes to the south of the vill;age Hutton Magna, lit by very strong spring sunshine.
in black and white, the world fades away. his gaze pierces through the lens, and suddenly it is just him and you. no distractions, no artifice. the contrast of light and shadow carves out his story with precision, the timelessness of the monochrome drawing you in. he doesn’t speak, but you hear everything.

Active Assignment Weekly Nov. 8 - 15: Dramatic Lighting
WIT: I wanted to do a shot of me looking out the window, looking for scary beings while keeping the inside dark so they wouldn't come in. I took this late at night, so the room would be totally dark. Since the light coming from outside would not be strong enough, I had a LED flashlight reflecting on my eye below my cheek. It was hard to get the angle of the eye right and still get what looks like a facial profile, since my eyes are so flat on my face, haha! I also had a small halogen table lamp on the floor facing slightly up to light the window frame a little bit. In Photoshop I brightened the eye and desaturated a bit to get a more eerie atmosphere.
Powerful figure in dramatic outfit against rich rose background exuding confidence and allure in evening setting
A strong and striking individual poses gracefully in a sleek black outfit featuring a high slit. The vibrant red roses surround her, enhancing the evening atmosphere.
"Queen of the Roses"
Beneath the hush of an indigo sky,
she stands—
a silhouette carved in midnight silk,
the high slit of her gown
a whisper of movement,
a promise of power.
Around her, roses burn in crimson bloom,
petals like velvet embers
against the cool breath of evening.
Their perfume mingles with the air,
a quiet crown of nature’s making.
Dramatic light spills across her form,
catching the curve of her shoulder,
the poised tilt of her chin—
a portrait of confidence
painted in shadow and flame.
Her gaze holds the night still,
commanding without a word,
each line of her body
a verse in the language of allure.
She is elegance in motion,
feminine energy sharpened to a blade,
a showstopper draped in black,
framed by roses that bow
to her presence.
In this garden of vivid contrasts—
red against black,
soft against strong—
she is both muse and monarch,
the evening’s most
captivating secret.

For a short time on this particular morning, the cloud cover went quite dark and sinister, but with the occasional brief break. One allowed a patch of sunlight to fall on this derelict barn which is situated alongside the Teesdale Way long distace footpath at Thorpe, near Whorlton.

This is one of the individual flowers that were on the plant I brought home yesterday. I also created a black and white version of this image using Nik Software's Siver Efex Pro 2, and you can see that below in the comments.
Lighting stuff: I wanted dramatic, rather than even lighting, so I used my lights accordingly. The main light was a YN560-II in a 24 inch softbox at camera right, and I used a YN560-III hand held in a Rogue grid to light up the orange "bit" (a technical botanical term) growing from the center of the plant. Both strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other Calla Lily pictures are in my Calla Lilly set. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157626082181550/...
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422
Haha! This photo shoot was interesting cause Chris is just a good friend of mine and he was getting some portfolio photographs taken by me when I asked him to help me with an assignment. It didn't come out exactly as I had planned but it worked out well.
So, yes folks that is me and yes my hair is lighter now and only getting lighter. :)
I got the idea from a photographer off deviant art, I'll have to find the link again and credit them. :)

Part of the parish of Thorpe, Lower Teesdale lit up during a bright interval. Cross Fell, the highest point in the pennines visible though the haze on the horizon.
Such an exiting session today at Plymouth College of Art - PCA during my third photography course session with Gentleman Jamie House. We've learned how to use off camera flash using some really clever and versatile portable studio lighting. Here's the result.
A landscape view of the view of Leather Tor from Sharpitor. Much that I like the orientation of this one, the sun wasn't lighting up Leather Tor when I took it, which is a little frustrating. Wait as I might it never came back either. I know that this is a pretty standard view from here but I like it.

Some extraordinary and rapidly changing lighting conditions as very brief periods during which the sun almost breaks through the cloud cover create a dramatic view up the dale. Additionally, this shaft of direct sunlight hit Widdybank Fell in the far distance for just a few seconds. High Force Hotel in front of the conifer plantation left, East Friars farm centre. Taken from Stable Edge above Newbiggin.
