Today was my first time out with my paycheck-obliterating NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR. It's relatively light, around the same weight as the Nikkor Z 105 macro. Of course, you give up a few things when you fit your kit with an all-in-one but, for me, since I don't get out that often to shoot due to work and weather, I want to give myself the best shot at getting any shot I want 😂🙈👀. This morning was my first time out with it; although I need many more hours of practice, I do not regret the purchase.
A gently incoming tide washes over the beach and swirls around me. A delicate pink appears in the sky. I have the beach to myself. Bliss.
I was actually able to get off two shots that morning....All that has been done in this photo is applied a warming filter, used the dodge tool to enhance the light coming through the culvert, and a touch of sharpening.
The last picture for my October Celebration series of 2024!!
Happy Halloween to everyone who celebrates!! Be safe and have fun. ♥

existential joy…
life's impertinent quaver

Twenty-second in the series ‘Wild Bonsai’, this tree is fifty-five inches (1.4m) in height and perhaps 750 years old.
'Wild Bonsai' is a numbered collection of photos of naturally occurring bristlecones (p. longaeva) generally less than five feet in height (1.5m) and - as nearly as I can estimate - between fifty and five-hundred years old - some much older. Most will have sprouted and survived in tiny cracks and crevases or miniature basins of sand and gravel. Shaped by the elements, flourishing tenaciously in the most minimalist of conditions, their lives are measured not in the millennia of more robust bristlecones, but in centuries...often mere decades.
'Duality', the cover photo for this album, is to me a matriarch of sorts and will remain unnumbered as a small token of a deeply intuitive and unapologetic respect that remains as transcendent and mysterious to me as it may seem odd to others. The essay that accompanies 'Duality' could, in many ways, apply as well to any other tree I may post in this series.
A perspective: Housed in the Tokyo Imperial Palace, the fifth oldest living cultivated bonsai in the world is something over 500 years old and is a designated National Treasure of Japan.

I love it when all the elements come together, but especially the low-lying winter fog as temperatures drop.
Apologies if you have seen lots of these astro images recently. I was driving back late from a very long and wet walk up Bidean nam Bian in Glencoe (my fist munro since lock down) at the weekend. I noticed a break in the clouds and decided to stop off and capture this panoramic looking towards Aberfoyle. The Noctilucent clouds were just starting to fade but Comet Neowise was still pretty clear. The fog was starting to roll over the Trossachs to making it a rather special moment!â €

I really was stunned by the beauty of Diamond Beach in Iceland. Just something about huge chucks of ice being battered by the sea and eroded by the abrasive sand, especially in the first light of day. A place that I long to return to some day.
One of the more popular mountain profiles in Washington State, Mt. Shuksan, on a misty and colorful summer morning in 2013.

Dolphin Rock
Point Cartwright
Park at the Point Cartwright lighthouse. Descend the steps to the beach. Walk north and this rock will be visible on your right quite clearly. Best shot at an advancing mid to high tide. Best shot at dawn. Looks like there's many other opportunities in the area too!

We can't capture air, but we know it's with us. Wind moves things that block your path, mentally and physically, renewing the mind with a fresh perspective and heightened mental clarity. Air reminds us that there is much more to this world than we can see or touch.

Kristy and I woke up at the crack of dawn to catch the sunrise over the Anza Borrego desert floor from Mt. Laguna. I originally thought this would be my fire concept, but the wind moved the skirt so beautifully it had to be air.
Blog post of full session coming soon!
Water has such an amazing ability to turn the scenery into liquid colored glass. This is a mountainous region over the polar circle in the far north of Norway. If you look closely there are some cold blooded surfers in the swells. Quite exotic, in a non Hawaii sense ;)

This is a very special place tucked deep in the interior of Iceland and taken at "sunset", or midnight. I spent the night here and although the area is quite barren it is photographically speaking one of tremendous reward.
The subterranean activity of this thermal haven allows for wonderful long exposures as thermal mist seamlessly blends with the clouds leaving an impression of timelessness. At least that is my perception.
Conditions were extremely bizarre at the specific point I went for this shot and which make it different from a similar post At the beginning. Dancing pink hues mixed with the clouds, the steam and some reflected light. Wind speeded the movement and rising fumes heavily obscured the background. Some openings let the deep blue sky paint other areas. Such that as much as the result is intriguing it was impossible to foresee the final image as opposed to my other shot. Rewards come in different ways.
This picture is also an introduction to a future post, the subject of which is easy to guess. What I like about this image is the absence of any reference, be it time or place. It takes me to a place I have never known, back to Earth's fundamentals, it's Elemental nature. I have possibly dreamt of this image and associating what can not have been, found a sanctuary here after being pursued by some Tyrannosaurus Rex. I just don't know if this was a good or a bad dream.
Please take the time to leave a comment, an impression, a thought, always appreciated.

What do you think?
If it's you, then it's me
and when it's you
I can clearly see
all that we can truly be
if only life could let it be
so to Spring we now turn
as if Winter never happened
upon our lowest ebb
the question answers instead
for the puzzles that lie ahead
of all we roam in sickness and in health
this is no ordinary world, or life at that
for every unblinking stoke
of the fire of silhouetted Oak
within the given hope it may invoke
it's the unflinching stipulation of life over departure
fluvial or landbased, aviating dreams earthbound
every reason is contraindicative
meandering flight of aquatic contrail still active
we're here to stay so long as we can forgive...
..any reason under the Sun
why we shouldn't celebrate a world
of yours, of mine, of one of a kind
that offers the path when combined
to the place so desired and divined.
