This is the much photographed wreck Destiny, its final resting place being a tidal creek in Plymouth. Just thought for a bit of fun I'd place her in a lake in Iceland.

European Earwig (Forficula auricularia)

This one was 'bent backwards' to fit in the African Daisy.

The forms of the landscape on this ridge were either beautiful or bizarre.

It was strange to peer at the sky through the small opening on the left. From certain angles I could see distant landmarks through the opening.

The mangled shrub remnant on the right couldn't have been any more fitting for the place. It had just that certain feeling of character and history to it.

I made this image using an IR-converted camera with a 590nm filter. I like the color results in channel-swapped images. They're familiar, and yet somehow unreal. Like finding a new dimension or an entirely new season. Helps to see with fresh eyes.

In the garden scene

It's so easy being green

Though not always seen

Here's part two of my flamingo shenanigans! Taken at Hades - Love Island.

This probably won't appeal to everyone, but tough..... I like it. And the title pretty much wrote itself.

. . . I took this picture with my cell phone last night on the HDR setting! It looks really jacked up, but I promise the clouds and colors were actually like this! One of the best sunsets I have ever seen here, and a fitting way to turn the page from summer to fall!

White-Tailed Kite

Elanus leucurus

Taken at Laguna de Santa Rosa in Santa Rosa, CA, USA. Thought the title fitting for this juvenile who's still learning the ropes. Happy hump day.

Thank you for your views, faves and comments. Deeply appreciated.

Okay... I know my brain is playing way too much... I need to stick to photography. :-)

I made this shot near Hohnstein castle in the Elbe Sandstone mountains. The conditions didn't develop as I was hoping, unfortunately. And so I was already on my way back home. As I did turn the car I saw this terrific sky. So I quickly parked the car and simply walked speedily in that direction hoping to find anything to combine with the sky. Off course I had to walk uphill all the time, sometimes everything is fitting. Here I am, exhausted, on a farm track, five minutes before the party was over. I like it.

Diese Aufnahme entstand in der Nähe der Burg Hohnstein im Elbsandsteingebirge. Leider hatten sich die Verhältnisse bei Sonnenuntergang nicht so entwickelt wie ich wollte und ich macht mich bereits auf dem Heimweg. Als ich das Auto gewendet hatte sah ich plötzlich diesen grandiosen Himmel. Also schnell das Auto gestoppt und zügig einfach in die Richtung gelaufen, in der Hoffung irgendwas zu finden, was ich mit dem Himmel kombinieren kann. Natürlich ging’s die ganze Zeit bergauf, manchmal passt es einfach. Und hier bin nun, ausgepowert, auf einem Feldweg, fünf Minuten bevor der Spass vorbei war. Mir gefällt es.

I just wonder if it's too late for flowers to bloom...

That's really fitting, since I just got myself an old eos 10d to play with. :P Yay.

Recently the field of theoretical cosmology has been enervated by the suggestion that our universe is the mirror image of another one stretching back in time before the Big Bang (see, for example, www.research.ed.ac.uk/en/publications/icpti-symmetric-uni... ).

Intrigued, I set out to test whether this was observable in practice. After a quick calculation on the back of an old envelope (cigarette packets now being not Politically Correct) I worked out that conditions would be favourable for an experiment in the period around the vernal equinox for my latitude (51N). At this time the angles of the Earth’s gravitational field, the neutrino flux from the sun and a local EM field could be arranged to the optimum.

So, setting a sufficiently powerful Tesla coil in a glass envelope with an inert gas (I used Nitrogen), I tried it out.

And it worked!

Sometimes I could actually see the dim reflection of the alternate universe appear in the glass capsule, but perhaps the best result was this one where I managed to create a wormhole bridging the paired universes.

If you look carefully at the image though you might observe that the energetic feedback created by the wormhole burnt out my coil… such are the sacrifices of science…

Storytelling idiocy aside, this image was one of the fun results of an evening spent with a local friendly group of photographers taking images of lightbulbs on tablets (and other things but I didn’t get that far :( ).

I used a clear glass bulb on my iPaddle which I set up to show some very colourful graphic images that I had generated using Midjourney (I finally found something useful to do with that toybox… The text prompt for this one, if you are interested, was ‘Close - up macro HDR photograph of the centre of mirrored 3D circle sculptures, overlapping rainbow circular fractal, vivid rainbow colours, graphic abstract’).

The bulb was lying on its side at an angle resting on the bayonet fitting so I made the canvas larger and rotated it. Starting in Capture One I dropped the greys to black using a levels adjustment and played with the Clarity and a little Dehaze. In Affinity I sharpened it with High Pass/Linear blend and a bit of Unsharp mask and enriched the colour. Then quite a lot of work with inpainting to remove the vestiges of the iPad and a lot of dust.

PS I forgot to mention that this was a focus stack of ten images, though I suspect only four or five contributed anything useful. The camera did the focusing and I used Helicon Focus for the stacking, which I've not really done before (it was fast, worked with raws and produced a dng output).

Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Easter and 100x :)

Southern Railway S15 Class 4-6-0 847 steams away from Horsted Keynes station on the Bluebell Railway with its freight train at the end of a 75H Charters event.

Droplets from a kitchen faucet with a portable dishwasher attachment fitting.

It took a little finessing of the valve to get a decent drip from the faucet, and quite a few pictures to get a shot I liked. I got three streams going for an earlier batch, but was unable to duplicate that for the batch that yielded this picture.

GN 3443 has found a new life in the town of Burlington, IA working for the Burlington Junction Railway doing transloading and BNSF interchange runs. This is a fitting place for this locomotive since the "Burlington" in Burlington Northern refers to this town in Iowa.

Taken from a moving vehicle; sorry for the bad reflection, we had the windows closed as we passed by this building and it caught my attention. It's a fun adjustment solution.

Tullagh Bay, Dunaff - Clonmany, Inishowen, County Donegal, Ireland

This panoramic photo captures an extremely wide view of the stunning Urris Valley. From the top of Binnion Hill overlooking Tullagh Strand, Dunaff Head & Raghtin More Mountain there are so many areas of beauty to be found here on the north coast of Inishowen.

I have captured this scene in the past however, it was winter so the mountains were snow-capped and the sun was setting directly behind Raghtin More mountain. I’ve since seeked a new version with no snow and the sun setting more to the right over the ocean. I wanted this newer version to also be even larger than before, showing a little more of the valley to the left leading back to Clonmany and also showing the little beach to the far right of the scene. These were all the little things either missing or aligned differently on my first photo, so my new personal challenge was set to recapture this newly visioned scene

Firstly, I returned during summer which obviously meant there was no snow but the main reason being that the sun would set more to the east during summer and as you can see has thankfully set over the ocean. This scene once more proved to be very challenging to capture mainly due to the enormity of the area and capturing 12 separate photos, then combining and fitting all into this one panoramic photograph. Timing it with a vibrant sunset, calm weather conditions and only a 5-minute window to capture all was nerve-wracking 😓

I won’t complain though as everything aligned and worked out extremely well for me on this evening. The weather was perfect with little wind and I captured my photo exactly the way I wanted it! sometimes things do go perfectly to plan 🙏 I hope you enjoy it as much as I've loved every moment capturing it

Hope you enjoy! Please Favourite & Follow to view my newest upcoming works, Thank you
