Taken in southern Utah. The oval stone almost felt like an altar...but I found it to be a pain with regard to composition. I didn't want to miss it...nor could it dominate the rendering. At the same time, the subtle sun rays had created a fairly dark scene. So...I did lots of toning throughout this shot to get the atmosphere I wanted to see. Finished and uploaded on Nov. 15, 2015.
Well I was just in pure joy as this scene unfolded. The sunset was lighiting up the rain falling which created an alpine rainbow. It was pure magic, and was in full Photogarsm. Have a great weekend!!! Kris...

American red squirrels can be found throughout the United States in the forests of Alaska, the east coast north of Georgia, and the Rocky Mountains. The squirrels prefer coniferous forests. American red squirrels mainly feed on the seeds and cones of evergreen trees.

I've become such a bad flickr contact! I haven't been home in a week, and I've been without a computer so I haven't been able to upload anything or comment back on all of your guys' lovely photos! I will get better, I promise. <333
I know I have took and posted a similar picture before but this was taken with my new Hi Tech 10mm 10 stop filter with a lee 0.6 ND grad so wanted to show everyone.
The sky was quite white at this point but the nd grad bought back some detail.
i did colour correct this but decided it actually looked nice with a cooler colour so changed it back slightly.
This is a 130 second exposure thanks to my new Hi Tech filter.
Back to work tomorrow so won't be on as much for a couple of days but will be getting out with my new stuff soon for some picture taking.
My camera was on my tripod and fired via cable release using bulb mode and timed with my watch.
Getting my photo mojo back so I've got lots of ideas springing back into my mind again.
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou for all your amazing support helping my last few pictures to reach explore and my last one making the flickr front page :)
look forward to seeing more of all your amazing pictures through 2012.
Hope you all had a great xmas and wish you all a prosperous New Year :)
Timeless sea breezes that for aeons have blown ancients rocks, you are the purest space coming from afar...(Maria Rilke)...
This stretch of coast in Norway is a gem towards the sea, but at the same time has a dramatic story to tell: The sea here is Norway's most exposed to storms: In the autumn and winter storms, the waves can reach 30m high. And the beds of the lighthouse keepers far out in the sea, moved across the floor as they slept. The story tells of a brave woman: Gjertrud 1814-1900: Her father was a famous pilot, and died at sea in 1823. She fought to keep her father's pilot certificate. And she was married to four sailors in turn. The first three perished at sea a few years apart. When she mourned for them, she went up on a great rock, and looked out over the sea for them. And this stone has been given her name "Gjertrud stone".
Dieser Küstenabschnitt in Norwegen ist ein Juwel in Richtung Meer, hat aber gleichzeitig eine dramatische Geschichte zu erzählen: Das Meer hier ist Norwegens am stärksten Stürmen ausgesetzt: In den Herbst- und Winterstürmen können die Wellen 30 m hoch werden. Und die Betten der Leuchtturmwärter weit draußen im Meer bewegten sich im Schlaf über den Boden. Die Geschichte erzählt von einer tapferen Frau: Gjertrud 1814-1900: Ihr Vater war ein berühmter Pilot und starb 1823 auf See. Sie kämpfte darum, den Pilotenschein ihres Vaters zu behalten. Und sie war wiederum mit vier Matrosen verheiratet. Die ersten drei starben im Abstand von einigen Jahren auf See. Als sie um sie trauerte, stieg sie auf einen großen Felsen und suchte sie auf dem Meer. Und dieser Stein hat ihren Namen "Gjertrud-Stein" bekommen
Este tramo de costa de Noruega es una joya hacia el mar, pero al mismo tiempo tiene una historia dramática que contar: el mar aquí es el más expuesto a las tormentas de Noruega: en las tormentas de otoño e invierno, las olas pueden alcanzar los 30 m de altura. Y las camas de los fareros, lejos en el mar, se movían por el suelo mientras dormían. La historia habla de una mujer valiente: Gjertrud 1814-1900: Su padre era un piloto famoso y murió en el mar en 1823. Luchó para mantener el certificado de piloto de su padre. Y ella estaba casada con cuatro marineros a su vez. Los tres primeros perecieron en el mar con unos pocos años de diferencia. Cuando hizo duelo por ellos, subió a una gran roca y miró hacia el mar en busca de ellos. Y a esta piedra se le ha dado el nombre de "piedra de Gjertrud".
Cette partie de la côte norvégienne est un joyau face à la mer, mais a en même temps une histoire dramatique à raconter : la mer ici est la plus exposée aux tempêtes de Norvège : lors des tempêtes d'automne et d'hiver, les vagues peuvent atteindre 30 m de haut. Et les lits des gardiens de phare loin dans la mer, se déplaçaient sur le sol pendant leur sommeil. L'histoire raconte l'histoire d'une femme courageuse : Gjertrud 1814-1900 : Son père était un pilote célèbre, et mourut en mer en 1823. Elle s'est battue pour conserver le brevet de pilote de son père. Et elle était mariée à quatre marins à tour de rôle. Les trois premiers périrent en mer à quelques années d'intervalle. Lorsqu'elle les pleura, elle monta sur un grand rocher et les regarda sur la mer. Et cette pierre a reçu son nom de "pierre de Gjertrud"...
Boulders Beach is a sheltered beach made up of inlets between granite boulders, from which the name originated. It is located on the Cape Peninsula, in Simon's Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is also commonly known as Boulders Bay. It is a popular tourist spot because of a colony of African penguins which settled there in 1982. Boulders Beach forms part of the Table Mountain National Park.
These African penguins are only found on the coastlines of Southern Africa (South Africa and Namibia). These penguins are currently endangered. As a result, the penguins are under the protection of the Cape Nature Conservation.
Although set in a residential area, it is one of the few sites where this vulnerable bird (Spheniscus demersus) can be observed at close range, wandering freely in a protected natural environment. From just two breeding pairs in 1982, the penguin colony has grown to about 3000 birds in recent years. This is partly due to the prohibition of commercial pelagic trawling in False Bay, which has increased the supply of sardines and anchovies, which form part of the penguins' diet. as well as the help from former SANDF naval officer, Van the Penguin Man
Bordered mainly by indigenous bush above the high-water mark on the one side, and the clear water of False Bay on the other, the area comprises several small sheltered bays, partially enclosed by granite boulders that are 540 million years old.
The most popular recreational spot is Boulders Beach, but the penguins are best viewed from Foxy Beach, where newly constructed boardwalks take visitors to within a few metres of the birds. It is also a famous swimming beach, although people are restricted to beaches adjacent to the penguin colony.

Hi everyone :)
hope everyone has had a great weekend so far:)
still no new images, so a reprocessed image for today:)
processed this a little different using and i am quite happy with how this one turned out:)
hope you like it as well?
learned a couple of new things lately, have been reading a bit and i try out new approaches when i think they can benefit my images:)
getting alot of flickrmails with questions about how i process my images, and i thought i could say a bit about it:)
filters used for this shot was a nd8 screw on, Lee filters 0.9 and 0.75 soft grads stacked together.
used two shot for this one, manually blended in a little brighter fg area around the rocks sticking up, giving the image the fg light that it needs:) they where "developed" in Acr to my liking and saved as 16 bit tiffs.
when i got the pictures blended the way i want it i use colorefex, using the filters Brilliance/Warmth, skylight filter and White neutralizer:)) i just experiment until i get the colors i like:)
i also add one layer of the image in B&W and use soft light in blend mode and adjust opacity to my liking:)
after that i use Noisewear Proffesional for sharpening and denoising, here i also "experiment" until i get the result i like:)
and to finish thing i use luminosity mask, sometimes only one colors other times depending on what colors and areas i want to "pop" up:))
lol i know i suck at explaining:)
and of course i straighten the horizon, crop and resize for web before posting:))
well well, hope this can be of help to anyone:)
anyways i wanna thank you for the response on my last shot:))
take care and have a great rest of the weekend:))

I walked the lake and took this POV with my iPhone. Then I decided to walk home, get my a1 with the wide angle, return, and do it again. The water was so calm the reflection was perfect, and the clouds eliminated the sun's reflections. I wanted the detail that only the a1 could capture

Four Arctic terns (Sterna paradisaea) exploring their lucks in the intertidal mudflats with perfect following up moves. The first one got its catch in the beak right after taking it off from the water surface with the typical style while the rest of the three were following the same pattern of moves in the backdrop. The symmetry of moves and the Bokeh transition with the hint of Depth of field are the special effects in this unique composition. Pics was taken from Patibunia beach, West Bengal, India.
A glorious weekend and I couldn't get out to play! When I had time the traditional Bank Holiday rain arrived but eased in the afternoon and I was out in search of Butterflies. Pretty sure this is a Yellow tailed Moth caterpillar - their long hairs are irritating to deter predators.
