The spectacular landscape of Upper Teesdale looking over to Widdybank Fell from across the valley at High Hurth Edge. The whitewashed Widdybank Farm is to the right of the picture and the menacing crag of Cronkley Scar juts into the left of it.

A canal runs through old, industrial buildings in Birmingham, England.
At its working peak, the BCN contained about 160 miles (257 km) of canals; today just over 100 miles (160 km) are navigable, and the majority of traffic is from tourist and residential narrowboats.

“Sorceress and Dragon” conjures a vision of power and mystery beneath the full moon. A woman in flowing black stands amidst wildflowers and shadowed trees, her presence commanding yet graceful. At her side, a dragon of fire and flame emerges from the forest, its scales glowing with molten light, its eyes alive with ancient knowledge. Together, they embody the eternal bond between mortal will and elemental force—a covenant of magic, nature, and myth. The moon crowns the scene with silver radiance, casting the forest into a stage where sorcery and legend entwine.
She stands where the forest breaks,
moonlight threading her hair with silver,
black silk flowing like a river of night.
From the trees, fire answers—
a dragon born of ember and breath,
its scales a hymn of molten flame.
They do not face each other as strangers,
but as halves of a covenant:
her hand the spell,
its roar the echo,
their bond a circle older than stars.
The flowers bow in silence,
the forest holds its breath,
and the moon, eternal witness,
writes their names in light.
Sorceress and dragon—
not mistress and beast,
but one story,
told in fire and shadow,
sung in the language of eternity.
Kiana captivates in a dramatic portrait, bathed in a sharp spotlight that carves out her silhouette against a deep black background. Her intense gaze and the interplay of light and shadow create a powerful and artistic image.

She looked straight through the dark.
The feathers crossed the frame like smoke.
The red burned deep.
For a moment, the makeup felt older than the room, older than the stage, older than us.

Bathed in the warm glow of a breathtaking sunset, this silhouette portrait captures a peaceful moment of reflection along the water's edge. With arms gracefully raised toward the fading light, the subject creates a striking contrast against the brilliant gold and amber sky. The shimmering water mirrors the colors of the setting sun, producing a tranquil backdrop that enhances the elegance of the composition.
The simplicity of silhouette photography allows shape, movement, and emotion to become the focal point. Every line of the pose conveys calmness, freedom, and appreciation for nature's beauty. The warm tones of golden hour transform an ordinary shoreline into a scene filled with atmosphere and timeless appeal.
This image celebrates the quiet magic that unfolds as daylight gives way to evening, reminding us to pause, breathe, and enjoy the peaceful moments found in nature. Ideal for lovers of sunset photography, fine art portraits, landscapes, and outdoor lifestyle imagery.

Certaines personnes portent un costume.
D'autres s'en servent comme d'un alibi.
Sous le masque, il n'y a ni héroïne ni méchante.
Seulement quelqu'un qui a compris que les personnages sont faits pour être utilisés, puis abandonnés.
Le pouvoir n'est pas dans le fouet, il est dans le sourire qui l'accompagne...
EN Some people wear a costume.
Others use it as an alibi.
Beneath the mask there is neither hero nor villain.
Only someone who understands that characters are meant to be borrowed, then discarded.
Power is not in the whip but it's in the smile that comes with it...
Pre-dawn sunlight turns rare desert storm clouds orange over the Namib Desert, Namib-Naukluft National Park, Namibia.
Seated in a chamber of opulence, she commands the gaze with an emerald gown that cascades like living flame. Draped fabric and jeweled embellishments crown her form, while the cape-like shoulders evoke both regality and myth. The dim glow of the lamp, the green walls, and the red roses at her side create a tableau of contrast—luxury and intimacy, shadow and brilliance. Her bold makeup and crimson lips sharpen the drama, transforming the room into a stage where elegance becomes power, and presence becomes legend.
“Emerald Throne”
She does not sit—
she reigns,
the chair beneath her
a throne carved from shadow and velvet breath.
Her gown is a river of green fire,
draped and jeweled,
a garment that remembers
the forests of myth,
the crowns of forgotten queens.
The roses lean toward her,
as if summoned,
their crimson mouths
confessing devotion in silence.
The lamp burns low,
but her presence is the brighter flame—
a sovereign of dusk,
a keeper of thresholds,
a myth written in emerald and blood-red light.
And we, who behold her,
are not mere witnesses,
but pilgrims at her altar,
gathering the fragments of her radiance
to carry into our own darkened rooms.
A study in dramatic lighting.
Single flash with a snoot from the upper left — no diffuser, no fill.
The goal was to create strong form definition and deep shadows with classical still-life composition.
The beauty of having a black background is that if you have any distracting elements in the photo, you can just paint them out with black in Photoshop. Lit with one hand held SB600 in a snoot in front of the flowers at about 5 o'clock, triggered by the pop up flash on my D90 in commander mode.. I always use manual mode on the strobe for these flower pics and adjust the levels until I like the way it looks.
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 light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/...
FR Il y a des instants où le corps ne danse plus, il explose en émotions.
Chaque mouvement semble naître d’un combat intérieur, d’une tension invisible qui traverse l’espace et consume le silence.
Cette danseuse dégage une énergie presque sauvage, à la fois maîtrisée et instinctive.
La lumière découpe les gestes, révèle la puissance du mouvement et transforme la scène en territoire d’expression pure.
EN There are moments when the body no longer dances and it erupts with emotion.
Every movement seems born from an inner struggle, an invisible tension flowing through space and consuming the silence.
This dancer radiates an almost untamed energy, both controlled and instinctive.
The light carves through each gesture, revealing the power of movement and transforming the stage into a space of pure expression.
As a brief but torrential shower late in the afternoon moved away, this extraordinarily vivid rainbow appeared, with its double adding to the display. The reversal of colours in the secondary rainbow - a key feature of them, is clearly visible
A striking black-and-white portrait capturing a quiet, introspective moment. The subject looks downward with a calm, thoughtful expression, while dramatic directional lighting creates a beautiful interplay of highlights and deep shadows across her face, shoulders, and torso. The minimalist composition and monochrome treatment give the photograph a timeless, fine-art quality.
She is portrayed braless in a simple ribbed tank top, adding to the natural, understated feeling of the portrait. The contrast between the soft highlights and rich shadows emphasizes the texture of the fabric and the graceful lines of her pose. The clean background keeps the focus entirely on the subject, creating an intimate study of light, mood, and form.

There are moments when the weight of the world clings to a young heart,
when the eyes speak of battles fought in silence,
and the soul leans quietly against the edges of wonder and sorrow.
In the stillness between breaths, a story unfolds —
one of resilience, of innocence weathered by unseen storms,
of tears that never quite fall but are felt all the same.
Photography is all about capturing a moment, an expression, a feeling, and sometimes, the subject doesn’t love it as much as the photographer does! This is the second image in my portrait series featuring my daughter. While the first shot made it into Explore, this one brings a fresh perspective, a different angle, and a touch of character that makes it stand out. Her subtle expression, the intricate braid, and the contrast of light and shadow create a portrait that tells its own story. My daughter's reaction was 'I don't love it!' I will keep trying ... :)
The man’s outline is sharply defined against the vivid backdrop, his footprints trailing behind him in the damp sand. The dramatic lighting accentuates the texture of the waves, the edge of the waterline, and the rugged outline of distant dunes, creating a powerful, cinematic moment of solitary wanderlust at day’s end.

O Wonder.....
I loved the land, so I belong to her in this life.
But in the next life, I'll be yours.
I'll born again as your endless waves.
