it was midday, and the sun was high enough to sting but not burn. he leaned into the weight, his muscles straining against the resistance of steel and waste. the dumpster wasn’t just a job; it was a symbol of grit, of resilience. his cap turned backward, tattoos half-hidden, he pushed forward, step by step, carving a path against the ordinary. behind him, the lines of the fence rose clean and sharp, a backdrop of order against the chaos of labor. his struggle wasn’t monumental, but it was human, and in that, it was everything.
The Muscle Biplane Pitts S2S G-EWIZ shown here at the 2018 RNAS Yeovilton Air Show, piloted by Rich Goodwin and as always gives a Fantastic display.
The plane, G-EWIZ is powered by a six cylinder, 8.5 litre engine, producing over 300HP. It has a flying weight of 700 Kg, a top speed of over 200 mph and capable of pulling plus 6 g and minus 5g.

A&M C420 Nº58, a non dynamic model is at Van Buren, Arkansas on May 1, 2019. Unlike most Alco variants, 58 has had it's hood door handles replaced with standard knuckle busters.
This was an incredibly wild and turbulent sky. The storm passed overhead, blackening the earth, and then moved to the horizon with the sun breaking through in the foreground over the mud of the low tide that was surrounded by glistening water.
We've been having a rather dynamic sky realm lately and finally some thunderstorms are coming around again too. It took me several days of passing to get motivated and I awoke Thur morning around 3:30 AM and saw lightning in the sky. So I headed on out to a local church but the mountains were sort of in the way and the storm was pretty distant. Thought I could flank it by going up to the parkway but the storm was moving the wrong direction. Saw lots of lightning and got some captures but nothing spectacular.
I just sort of hung out up on the parkway until sunrise at 6 AM, playing stick games with Turbo when there wasn't much happening. The sky turned pretty nice at sunup as the storm had just passed off to the right. I was fortunate to find a nice little cluster of flowers for the foreground by going down the bank some. Our scenic section of the parkway north of the city is a tricky place for vistas and sunrise and set. I've been going up there for years and still looking for what I really want. There was an incredible sea of valley fog on one side of the ridge and it is almost impossible to find anywhere interesting to shoot. One great thing is anywhere I do find will be exclusive stuff and I likely won't see any other shots from it.
A view from the sand dunes, looking across the picturesque bay of St Ouen, in Jersey Channel Islands. La Rocco Tower sits in the bay surrounded by calm waters on a warm summer's eve. We are so blessed on our island with the natural beauty surrounding us - sometimes it is hard to appreciate this, but this image makes me realise how lucky we are...

Free talk in New York on Dec 15th at B&H Photo - A Firehose of HDR
See the photo below? One of the most common questions I get is "How do you make an HDR out of a single photo?" Well, I'll go over that and more on Dec 15th at noon at the Incredible B&H Photo in New York. You can get more New York B&H event info here.
Also, you may know that B&H is a partner of Stuck in Customs -- I recommend you buy from them on my Digital SLR recommendations page.
Daily Photo - Chicago from a Chopper
Chicago is an awesome city and I always have a good time there. This time of year, it gets a bit cold... and if you don't have a good coat pre-buttoned before you go outside, well, that's a big mistake.
I have a good friend there that arranged a helicopter for me in Chicago and took the door off! I hung out for a few hours battling the backwash as we circled the city and flew in and out of the buildings. This is one of the shots from that series, and I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I did shooting it!

The sky is an infinite movie to me.
I never get tired looking at what's
happening up there.

Weekly Theme Challenge - Sky
(photo by Freya, edit by me)
Thanks for views, faves and comments!
This is a vertical version of the same scene as #13 - you can see more of the elevated roads there, I like that!
Also I exposed this one stop longer, this gave me more room with the colour adjustments and I could get rid of some of the blue cast.

Motukiekie Beach is a fantastic location on the West Coast of New Zealand.
After a "Blazing Kaikoura" sunrise on the east coast I headed over to the West Coast for sunset.
This spot is only accessible at low tide and even during the very low tide on this particular evening the swell would regularly wash over this scene. This regular water movement however provided another layer to the seastack / starfish combination that the area is famous for!
The growing popularity of Motukiekie for serious landscape photographers is largely off the back of some fantastic images created by Kah Kit Yoong here a couple of years ago. If you haven't already make sure you check out his Flickr stream at www.flickr.com/photos/kahkityoong/ - you won't regret it!
The above image was taken well after the sun had set, providing a wonderful atmosphere including the sea mist in the background. My legs were soaked from the numerous swells and on the walk back down the beach it started to rain. This just added to the adventure at a remarkable location!
As always I would love to hear any thoughts / comments that you may have.

o...
per fare un'analogia ,
l'estensione o il divario ,tra chi seduto medita (dubitoO_O!?), e...
chi corre incessantemente ...;-)
ma?
quale sarà delle 2 la mente più quieta?
I had read about this technique a few years back, and always wanted to try it. Canada Day brings with it a fireworks celebration on most urban waterfronts, and those celebrating Independence Day will likely have an opportunity to try this tonight.
This technique involves changing the focus of the lens during the exposure. Through the 2 second exposure, I manually turn the focus ring which allows for the fireworks trails to fall out of focus and expand. Shifting the focus back and forth from in-focus to out-of-focus can create interesting patterns unseen by your eyes! It's a fun trick that offers many random "happy accidents" and the exposures are really fun to review, almost like watching the entire fireworks display again from a different perspective.
Just be sure to grab a few frames with static focus, however! You'll need to mask in the foreground from a separate image to keep the landscape details looking normal. This is two images combined - one for the fireworks and one for the landscape below. I adjusted the reflections to match the colours in the fireworks image so that everything blends together nicely.
Next time you're out shooting the fireworks, give this "dynamic focus" technique a try!
(I just looked it up after writing this post, and I originally read about this idea here: www.popphoto.com/how-to/2010/06/make-unique-fireworks-pho... )

Screaming into the Stockton Valley with the dynamics howling, CP 4506 guides 646 close to the River as the sky clears. I assume, if the sky won't cooperate, i will activate my inner weird style to cover up the silly skies.
Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) over some of the eroded hoodoo formations at Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, July 14-15, 2020. A faint aurora is at right. The foreground is lit by starlight only; there was no light painting employed here.
This is a stack of 12 exposures for the ground to smooth noise, blended with a single untracked exposure of the sky, all at 20 seconds at f/2.8 and ISO 1600, all with the 35mm Canon lens and Canon 6D MkII camera. Taking lots of shots and stacking them allowed the foreground to be brightened without introducing too much noise and ugly banding artifacts the non-ISO invariant sensor of the 6D MKII is prone to. An alternative would have been to take a single very long (multi-minute) exposure at a lower ISO just for the ground, but even then stacking several would still be best.
LENR employed on all shots on this warm night to eliminate thermal noise and speckling. ON1 Dynamic Contrast filter applied to the ground. Plus some dodging and burning applied to the ground using a neutral grey layer on Overlay blend mode to better sculpt the otherwise flatly lit foreground on this dark, moonless night. The sky is lit by twilight that is perpetual in summer at this latitude of 51° N.

When I saw this I wondered who was having sewer problems and then it dawned on me that I have a backflow valve on my sprinkler system and I pay the water people yearly for it to be checked.. I never saw anybody but then I was more interested in getting the picture than looking for people... LOL!! Happy Truck Thursday, Everybody!!!!!!
This eagle came in very close, filling the frame. Very high dynamic though given the clouds and lighting. I exposed this 1 stop over, and probably could have gone another half stop. The noise in the dark areas is pretty low though, and I could eliminate it if I darkened it a hair more, but I like the details here when not zoomed in. At full resolution you start to perceive a little noise ... pixel peering.
