I like flowers. We can find fresh flowers in stores. There are many different small, interesting objects in nature for macro photography. I took this picture with Sigma macro lens, it has image stabilization, very sharp and compact lens. I don’t use flash for macro photography because I don’t like highlight on the objects. I took one shot and didn’t use photo stacking in photoshop. False Jasmine is nice flowers and are easy to photograph. Smaller flowers are difficult to photograph. Have a wonderful day!
On the way home from a camping trip I pulled over at Termo California (gateway to Madeline, Likely, and parts beyond). It was a good place for a leg stretch and, since starting my journey into near infrared photography, it has been on the list of places to explore in invisible light. There are the remains of an old gas station/market there as well as this old abandoned house with an old cottonwood tree in what used to be the front yard. I shot this image with my 590 nanometer filter, which allows the orange/red end of visible light through along with the near infrared. This allows for some interesting opportunities to get creative in post production and create interesting “false color” images such as this.
Termo, which as also gone by the names Snowstorm and Armstrong, is a bit of a ghost town in Lassen County, California. It was located on the now abandoned Southern Pacific Railroad line 32 miles (51 km) north-northeast of my own Lassen County home. I was the original 1900 terminus of the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway, before the line was extended north. In my youth a gas station and small market operated there but as highway speeds have gotten faster and automotive ranges have gotten longer, it has long since been abandoned and have also fallen into decay.

I revisited Columbia River Gorge, Oregon this May on my trip to Palouse. This shot is taken at Gorton Creek. It seems water level is very low due to the heavy drought of this year so it was making the condition not so desired to shoot. Yet I surprisingly found this yellow maple leaf in the lush green season. A false signal saved my day. : )
Thanks for stopping by!
As most of you will know, False Creek is one of my favorite sites in Vancouver to Photograph. Here are some from my latest outing in False Creek :)
Built in 1937 as part of a WPA project, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. It and the adjoining school are currently not in use.
False-color infrared
False autumn is caused by heat wave and ensuing drought conditions. This pushes some trees into survival mode; an extreme form of stress, which makes them change the colour of their foliage and even drop their leaves.
I found this fine looking specimen in a wooded area on on the North Downs a few weeks ago. I believe it is a False Death Cap but happy to be corrected.
Obedient Plants are so named because the individual flowers, when they are moved in a new direction, will temporarily stay in that position. Interesting to think about how and why that characteristic evolved...yes? It's Friday, my friends, have a wonderful weekend!
The old gate into the city of Zons. Well. It isn't really a city anymore. Just a neighbourhood of the city of Dormagen since it got incorporated into that in the 1970's. Among other things, that cost it its city status, which it didn't like to give up. So they came up with an idea: We can't keep the title of "City", but we sure can change our name into "City of Zons", right? Turned out, they could. Dormagen wasn't entirely happy about it, but in the end, gave their consent.
You think your nearly there and then you get a little higher and realise it's a false summit... it happens a lot when walking the fells.. now I never believe I'm nearly there until I am there :-)

Is it a beetle? Yes it is.
Is it a potato beetle? Yes.
Does it look like a potato beetle? Yes
The similar Colorado Potato Beetle is found throughout the USA, but this one, the "False Potato Beetle" is found only in Eastern USA. Eastern Potato Beetle would seem a more logical name...oh well.

Pacifica Pier, Apr 2011
After three tries I think I got the perspective right. I've found it difficult to center the tripod and get the overhead part of the pier to converge correctly in the frame. If you've been to this location you know how tricky it is to get a shot. Even at low tide you will get a wave or two smashing into you during the large set, and low tide is the ONLY time to stand here if you know what I mean :).
This shot took an inordinate amount of tweaking in post to enhance the dramatic feel. The straight lines of the pier and the horizon are a nightmare to mask around without getting a lot of fringing.
All comments, critiques and feedback both positive and negative welcome.

Peregrine Falcon / falco peregrinus. East Mill, Belper, Derbyshire. 12/06/22.
'NEWLY FLEDGED.'
12th June marked the day that the two juvenile Peregrines fledged from East Mill. When I arrived mid-morning, one had already gone from the nesting balcony and the other was nowhere in sight. It must have been having a nap because it eventually appeared on the rail of the balcony.
There it remained on view for a number of hours, often flapping rapidly, looking as if it was going to take-off.
At about 4pm - (after several 'will it, won't it' false alarms), it did finally fledge. As so often happens there it failed to gain height and ended up at the base of the building, thankfully unharmed.
Now, some 12 days later, I understand that both juveniles have honed their flying skills and are doing well.
