I captured this scene while observing how the low sun angle interacts with the forest environment. The scattering of light, known as the Tyndall effect, turned the air itself into a physical element of the photograph. I’ve always found that the "imperfect" qualities of a shot—the natural haze and the soft focus of the light beams—tell a much more honest story about the feeling of being present than a perfectly crisp image ever could. It was one of those mornings where the atmosphere felt as tangible as the trees themselves.

How cool is this: in 2 hours you can go from Brussels to London! And of course you are already in the center, not far away at an airport, waiting for your luggage ...
I took the opportunity for a business trip extension and had a long weekend in London.
In the romantic period (19th century), the butterfly was a sign of the hope of resurrection (larva, pupa, butterfly), it also represented the soul freed from all material. I found this nice detail on a large family grave at the Waldfriedhof (cemetery in the woods) in Darmstadt, Germany. On the other side there was a similar metal ball with the symbol of the snake devouring itself.

Cropped and then used Adobe photoshop beta cosmos 9 effect. Big thanks to John Lunt for suggesting I use this particular effect in this manner!*
This is how beautiful the sky looked as the solar eclipse was ending in the Castiltierra area of Segovia, Spain, very close to the Hermitage of Santo Cristo del Corporario.
The arrival of Saharan dust, as it does every summer in southern Europe, and its coincidence with several forest fires not far from this location, created a golden effect in the sky just as the Sun was setting.
The eclipse ended in this area when the sun was already below the horizon.
On the left, you can see one of the Nikon cameras belonging to my friend Ángel Santillán, a Flickr member, with whom we shared these beautiful moments.
The planet Jupiter can be seen as a white dot in the upper left.
What you see in the lower half of the photo is a field of sunflowers, ready for harvest.
Please note that the right side of the sky is darker than the left. This is because the eclipse had not yet ended, and the moon was still obscuring the right (or northern) side of the landscape.
TERMINANDO EL ECLIPSE, 2026
Así de bello estaba el cielo cuando estaba terminando el eclipse solar en la zona de Castiltierra, Segovia, España, muy cerca de la ermita del Santo Cristo del Corporario.
La llegada del polvo del Sáhara, como cada verano en el sur de Europa y la coincidencia con varios incendios forestales no muy lejos de este lugar, consiguieron un efecto dorado en el cielo justo cuando el Sol se estaba poniendo.
El eclipse terminó en esta zona cuando el Sol ya estaba por debajo del horizonte.
A la izquierda se ve una de las cámaras Nikon de mi amigo Ángel Santillán, miembro de Flickr, con quien compartimos estos bellos momentos.
El planeta Júpiter se puede ver como un punto blanco arriba a la izquierda.
Lo que se ve en la mitad inferior de la foto es un campo de girasoles, listo para la cosecha.
Os ruego que observéis que la parte derecha del cielo está más oscura que la parte izquierda. Eso es debido a que el eclipse no había terminado y la Luna seguía oscureciendo la parte derecha (o Norte) del paisaje.

This effect seemed to be caused by sea spray being force up from small caves under the rocks....there was a lot of smoke in the air from BBQ,s, a South African tradition on the new year.
Planted some verbena in April and they've shot up, as tall as me, mind you that's not saying much... the butterflies love them! Pretty sure this is a large white enjoying a drink.

The tunnel effect describes how quantum mechanical particles can go through a barrier even if they have not enough energy to go over that barrier.

A setting looking to the north while taking in views across this setting in west Texas. My thinking in composing this image was to use some high ground I was on at a roadside pullout and capture a sweeping view across this desert and national park landscape leading up to the Guadalupe Mountains. I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation in NX Studio. I then exported a TIFF image to Nik Color Efex Pro 4 where I made some more adjustments for that last effect on the image captured.
You can't see wind, but sometimes the effect of wind can be seen easily. the wave spume that gets blown up the beach leaves this wonderful fretwork pattern. Effect and cause is by the White Stripes.
I had a weekend trip to London a few weeks ago, with this building development at the top of my list to photograph. It’s the Broadway development, just a couple of minutes away from Westminster Abbey. The buildings are tightly packed so it was difficult to get any shots without extreme perspective, but in many respects I think it looks good for it.
Looking at a computer screen showing a photo of flowers is dramatically changed when viewed through this bottle full of water.

Theme: "Liquid Effect"
Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you.
Colorado Springs, CO - This shot was inspired by this week's Flickr Friday theme "Shattered". It took two cups of ice and several hammer strikes to get the desired effect.
What better way to spend part of Saint Patrick's Day than smashing ice in the garage?
Almost 2 years ago now a Saturday was spent with Charles, Cory, Puda, Zane and I chasing an XBFSI during a lake effect snow storm!
Bart was jealous of the flowers that I was photographing, so he photobombed my shoot. Behind him is a backdrop of green sequined fabric. His eyes are reflecting the LED halo lamp I've been using for flower photos.

Having gone back in the archive for some of my early digital images, this morning I decided to pull out a few film shots from even earlier years. Back in the 1980s, Michael Orton of Nanaimo, British Columbia, developed a technique for creating surreal, glowing images using slide film. It became widely known as Orton Imagery.
A quick explanation: you would make two shots of the same scene, (1) out of focus, wide aperture, one stop overexposed; and (2) in focus, your choice of aperture, 2 stops overexposed. Then sandwich the developed slide frames into the same mount and shoot a dupe (or have a lab do that); in later years you could create a scan. This is a scan of a dupe.
These days a similar effect can be obtained in Photoshop. Michael continues to push creative boundaries - from what I can see, he never was interested in making conventional photos.
I didn't come close to achieving the quality of his work, which you can find online via Google search. But I had fun with it. This shot ran as a 2-page spread in a feature article I wrote for Explore magazine in 2000.

So this field was supposed to be covered in bluebells right now, however, my town seems to be behind with the rest of the UK and is still currently green. I've been wanting to incorporate more movement to my work lately, and this was inspired by a couple of sources:
-the advert for Calvin Klein's "Euphoria"
- Miss Aniela (Nat's) work involving movement in particular
- Season 13 of ANTM when they all did a shoot with scarves
Anyway, hope you like the outcome!
