Went out to try and find a shot for this week. Did all the expected stuff, stairwells, looking down from the outside of buildings etc. Was coming back down from the top of a stairwell when I saw this was not expecting a great deal as it was shot through old perspex and the room was not well lit. But sometimes you are surprised by the results.

Can you feel the rain like I did?
What to expect during Thailand's Rainy Season - June to October:
* temperature still around 32 degrees Cecius.
* no rain for a week at a time
* night rain and clear days
* Torrential rains that last 30 minutes to 2 hours, then clearing and sun
* overcast days with little to no rain
* two to three days of partial rain in a week is, especially later in the rainy season
Why let the rain spoil your holiday? After the thunder clouds moved away this was my chance to swim in cool rain water combined with warm sea water.Torrential rain drops bounced hard on the curved waves. The view was spectacular. I had to go back to bring my camera. So went back to get my camera, all wrapped up in a plastic bag and made this photo standing in sea. Trying to capture the rain. I hope somehow you can feel the rain too?

Sometimes, fireworks don't explode where you expect them... Thanks to photoshop, I develop my own technique to put them where I want them to be plus combining this with my DRI technique.
Parfois les feux d'artifices n'explosent pas toujours là où on voudrait... Grâce à photoshop, j'ai développé ma technique qui me permet de les mettre là où je les veux en la combinant à ma technique DRI.

My technique is alway the same:
Three exposures -2EV, 0, +2EV and then temperature adjustement using Lightroom and layering with luminosity mask using photoshop. Removal of distracting stuff with the stamp tool or patch tool. High pass filter to enhance details. Then saturation, contrast selectively control, dodge and burn where need...
DRI stand for Dynamic Range Increase. Three RAW files are used to achieve this. Rather than using a software like Photomatix for instance, I simply use mask to blend, my own way, the light, dark and normal shot with Photoshop and Lightroom.. To me, It looks more natural than the usual HDR treatment that I would normally applied.

Ma technique est toujours la même:
Trois prises de vue -2EV, 0, +2EV. Ensuite ajustement de la température de couleur avec Lightroom et usage de calques et masques de luminosités avec Photoshop. Retrait d'éléments de distraction avec l'outil tampon. Filtre High pass pour le rehaussement des détails. Ensuite saturation et contraste ajustés de façon sélectives et locales. Dodge and burn là où requis...
DRI vient de l'anglais Dynmic Range Increase, qui pourrait se traduire par étendue dynamique améliorée. Les même 3 fichiers RAW entrent dans la composition d'un DRI. Plutôt que de se servir d'un logiciel comme Photomatix qui fait tout le travail, je me sers plutôt de masques pour filtrer l'éclairage dans photoshop et Lightroom. De mon point de vue, cette façon de faire donne une image plus naturel que le traitement HDR que j'employais auparavant.

“i say,
continuing, that,
long before
we were at the foot of the high tower,
our eyes went upward to its top
because of two flamelets
that we saw set there,
and another giving signal back
from so far that hardly could the eye reach it.
and i turned me
to the sea of all wisdom;
i said, "this one, what says it?
and what answers that other fire?
and who are they that make it?"
and he to me,
"upon the foul waves
already thou mayest discern
that which is expected,
if the fume of the marsh
hide it not from thee."

Sometimes when you least expect it and are not prepared for it the most spectacular events unfold right in front of your eyes. After having a disappointing day of photographing we had called it quits and were gonna grab dinner and head home, untill my friend spotted these Great Horned Owls. This was probably one of the most memorable encounters I have ever had with wildlife. The Male here takes off as he sets off to hunt on a dark Florida night.
I saw this lovely lady at Ballinasloe horse fair pushing an elderly gentleman in a wheelchair. I took him to be her husband. When she saw me with the camera she gave me this most wonderful of smiles. Befrore I knew it she was off and gone, regretably, because I would like to have sent this to her. She obviously enjoyed the day out and I expect that her infectious smile made everyone who came into contact with her smile too.
My feeder continues to attract unusual and unexpected guests, like this Greater Spotted Woodpecker, Dendrocopos major. Wow!

When we moved into our first house we didn't expect to live there very long because it was a starter home and so we didn't plant any trees. However, it was ten years before we moved.
When we moved into our current house eleven years ago we planted four trees within the first month - an oak, an ornamental pear, a harlequin maple and this red maple.
This red maple, which wasn't much taller than me when we put it in, is now taller than the house. It gives us much pleasure, shading us in the summer and turning a glorious shade of red in the autumn.
Today it was just perfect. Glorious red and most of the leaves still on the tree. My six year old can't wait for the leaves to fall so he can rake and jump and rake and jump...you get the idea. But I can wait...it makes me happy just to look up at this tree. My upstairs bathroom and hallway glow red this time of year with the light reflected off this tree.

One of the defining features of Oswestry depot over recent years was the sheer volume of unusual or unexpected vehicles that would turn up, often for a matter of days or weeks only, but occasionally staying a little longer to enliven the scene. Here Arriva Midlands, Shrewsbury P&R liveried Dennis Dart SLF 2305 - N305 ENX is pictured while on loan at the depot, having been displaced from its home town by a batch of brand new Optare Versas.
At the end of the
second week in September a cart came in through Bywater from the direction
of the Brandywine Bridge in broad daylight. An old man was driving it all
alone. He wore a tall pointed blue hat, a long grey cloak, and a silver
scarf. He had a long white beard and bushy eyebrows that stuck out beyond
the brim of his hat. Small hobbit-children ran after the cart all through
Hobbiton and right up the hill. It had a cargo of fireworks, as they rightly
guessed. At Bilbo's front door the old man began to unload: there were great
bundles of fireworks of all sorts and shapes, each labelled with a large red
G and an elven rune. That was Gandalf s mark, of course, and the old man was Gandalf the
Wizard, whose fame in the Shire was due mainly to his skill with fires,
smokes, and lights. His real business was far more difficult and dangerous,
but the Shire-folk knew nothing about it.

expect the unexpected...many wildlife photographers know stories about that. we found this western tiger swallowtail while looking for bears, southern BC
I had been expecting a long-distance Charger on this train, but apparently that did not happen until at least the next day. Just one of the many disappointments lately surrounding Amtrak's newest motive power. In any event, the P42s aren't gonna last forever, so why not record 'em. 146 leads two others on a relatively on-time number 8, the eastbound 'Empire Builder', at Racine Avenue on Chicago's near west side. On this side of the signal bridge anyway, this scene is significantly less photogenic since the demolition of the old ADM mill, but you make do.
The last thing I expected to find at the top of the Buttertubs Pass, which links Wensleydale (in the background) and Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales, was this beautiful Austin Healey 100/6 - one of the classic English sports cars of all time. It was built from 1956 to 1959 and had a six-cylinder 2.6 litre engine. Its successor, the Austin Healey 3000, had a 2.9 litre engine. The 100/6 used a tuned version of the BMC C-Series engine previously fitted to the Austin Westminster, initially producing 102 bhp and increased in 1957 to 117 bhp by fitting a revised manifold and cylinder head. It had a top speed of around 104mph, and would accelerate from 0-60 in just under eleven seconds. The average fuel consumption was around 21mpg. But its looks, road-holding and sheer class far outweigh those modest figures.
As well, this was early in the evening. Near sunset and during our first evening in Yellowstone, our bodies were still on Eastern time filled with excitement. This trip was a bucket list destination, and was everything we expected and so much more!
New release! Take your bikini off the closet and head down to the beach, new momys need to keep thier vitamins up to keep their babies healthy... today we are going for the D! Hope you enjoy! lol

The traditional place to photograph this mill is from the other side of the river, but in this example I took a chance and managed to find my way to the other side.
For what it's worth I would warn against trying to get to the other side of the river. For starters it's on private land. And I kinda ignored the signs and just drove my car around the farmer's field. I half expected to get chased off the land by an angry landowner! But the other more important issue is the path/road that leads to the mill. Its great for tractors and 4X4s, but not so great for my modest Kia Ceed. There were a number of time I half expected to to get the car stranded, and along the route there are a number of very large rocks which unless you're careful can easily damage the average car with low clearance.
In the end I think it was a gamble worth taking. But I dont think ill try it again.....Not in a car anyway.
this one started as a Parka Coat but became more abstracted & I added an abstract head....this was mirrored & framed.....decided to add water droplets which also reflect parts of the image......didn't realize this included the boarder.....remind me of early flying aces...."tallyho old chap...what what"
thanks for looking.....best bigger....hope you have a great day

4th May 2015 - A quick shot from Pier Head of the old Bank of England building.
For over a week now the “Love Activists” squatting group has been occupying the Bank of England building on Castle Street in the centre of Liverpool. They have opened the old bank as a space for the homeless with kitchen, sleeping space etc. They are expecting eviction, and recently (29 April) large numbers of police arrived at the building in what looked set to be an attack on the squat. However, after harassing people outside and issuing a dispersal order, most of the cops left. Up to now, the building remains occupied. For more information and updates see the occupiers’ facebook page. Below we repost a statement of demands from the group, via squat.net.
We make this document a Statement of Intent regarding the old Bank of England building on Castle Street, Liverpool. The intentions are as follows to feed, cloth and help all those who seek it and for the local community to help resource this project.
We intend to use this building for the community, to inspire a feeling of community, which is lacking.
We do this in direct response to a local council and government who are lacking in their efforts to help those in need and in fact, the local Council and government seem intent on making matters worse for the people by putting more and more austerity measures in place.
We wish by the direct action of occupying an empty unused building and using said building to provide certain needs for the street people or for that matter anyone else who needs to use what is provided by donations, which come from the local community.
We intend to live in peace and harmony with our local community and will resolve any issues which are brought to our attention.
@Love Activists (Liverpool) former Bank of England.
@Love Activists (Liverpool) former Bank of England.
Our demands are as follows:
1. We demand Mayor Joe Anderson meets with us before the end of this week
2. We demand the Merseyside Labour councils and Joe Anderson Mayor rejects the cuts and says no to austerity and no to the cuts. We are suffering ‘Enuf is Enuf’ – we and they need sanctuary.
3. We demand all of the homeless we have been supporting, helping to provide a sense of worth and belonging are re-housed immediately.
4. We demand Social Services and Mental Health Services undertake rapid assessments of those we are supporting, they are very vulnerable.
5. We have learned the drug and alcohol rehabilitation services are underfunded and unsupported, with long waiting lists, cuts to funding. These services must be well resourced and protected. We say no to privatisation.
6. The voices of the homeless must be heard and their requests must be actioned and they must be treated as equals.
7. We have also learned that the Homeless Provision in Merseyside is at breaking point, we have been working with the Whitechapel Centre in particular and will continue with that positive relationship.
8. We demand that the first step to recovery for those with addition issues is a roof over their heads, this is a priority over their recovery.
9. We would also like to thank the community and businesses of Liverpool and further afield for their generous support in solidarity of our direct action to occupy the Bank of England – we have only got this far with that support.
10. We continue to peacefully resist our removal from the Occupied Bank until our demands are met in full.
In peace and solidarity @Love Activists (Liverpool)
Juvenile Little Blue Heron (Egret caerulea) wades in the wetlands of Huntington Beach State Park. It has more gray than I would have expected.
I wasn't expecting to phot 37610 until tomorrow night and had only intended on getting the two Anglia 90s making a Crew change on 4M11 tonight, but as I arrived this was parked there. This is apparently the 3z57 Mossend Down Yard-Carlisle Yard, which for some reason terminated at Carlisle. I think the DBSO may have failed in this case as the 37 was piloting it and not on the rear where the tool-van is.
This being in the way put pay to a shot of the 90s, although I shan't complain. 37025 was also here ready to leave shortly after, along with thunderbird 57308 and 37521 & 37667 in the High Wapping Sdgs.
