[ View On Black ]
From back in August last year. I don’t see many of these, and when I do, it’s usually a momentary glimpse because they move so quickly out of sight.
Here's more information about them:

Lunchtime walk in Bournemouth Gardens. It's been so wet and dull, that this is the first chance I've had to get some autumn photos before the leaves fall. There may not be too many leaves left, but the colours are amazing at this time of year.

I spent 7 nights and 8 days in London in August with my family, Tiziano and Giulia and their families.
I’m trying to show 100 shots that I’ve made there, that represent my “London point of view”.

Thanks for all your kind comments to my last photos …

Five Brown Peilicans. © Copyright 2022 G Dan Mitchell.
Five brown pelicans skim along just above the surf along the California coast on a winter day.
Photographing along this section of California’s coast presents a lot of decisions. Should I focus on winter surf, the haze and clouds, the land-meets-sea landscape, beaches, surfers and beachcombers, wildlife? I usually start out with one or two of these in mind — it was the atmosphere and the waves on this visit — but soon get distracted by the others.
The coastal pelicans are usually spotted gliding along just offshore, heading north or south along the coast. (They do land, but it is less common to find them settled on the ground.) They often fly extremely close to the water — so close that it seems that they are almost touching it as they follow the counters of the rising and falling surf.

"But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
When I'm working, yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money, comes in for the work I do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you
When I come home (when I come home) well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you..."

20200318_5702_7D2-400 Royal Spoonbill and Flounder
I watched (and took a few pics) of this Royal Spoonbill for about five minutes. It had just caught a small flounder but despite many attempts could not swallow it. After about five minutes it dropped it and walked away looking for an easier meal.

Black and white photography is (as you may have guessed) by far the most compelling medium for me (although I have a near-complete colour version of this image which I was tempted to post as an alternative!), and typically the advice when shooting is to seek out strong, contrasting colours and tones that convert well to shades of gray for a balanced tonal range. I am of course simplifying things greatly, but those of you who regularly shoot with the intent to convert to mono - and I understand there's something called 'film' too which apparently comes in black and white, what will they think of next? - will I'm sure have by now trained your eye to see in a grayscale colour space. Of course, this is easier said than done - there are scores of awful looking flat, washed out black and white photos created by those who give no consideration to their craft. I met another photographer whilst out on a shoot recently who expressed an interest in what I was taking, so I showed him some of my work via my iphone. He was (or claimed to be!) impressed and told me he'd previously thought of black and white shots in terms of what I've just described; wishy-washy and lacking the impact of their more colourful and vibrant cousins. Step forward anyone who converts to mono simply by just tugging at that little saturation slider - hang your head in shame...
This image was shot on the same foggy morning as 'Something In the Way', and I incurred similar decision making issues during post production (I'll ignore my capture process for the purpose of my point) with both shots, due to the effect of the foggy weather conditions. Don't misunderstand me - fog and mist are a photographer's dream, but I think because of the dampening effect they have on contrast, detail, pattern, texture and line, I believe it's perhaps easier to produce a pleasing picture in colour. As with 'Something In The Way', my challenge then was to try and introduce enough in the way of contrast to the scene to warrant the mono conversion. Some of you are very good at injecting punch into landscapes captured during these conditions, and for my personal preference I enjoy photographs where this level of contrast has been created subtly, so as to allow the poor atmospherics to still take precedence in the image. I'm not entirely sure I succeeded at this with either of these shots (and I might yet post a third from the same morning), but the challenge was an enjoyable one at any rate.
...What do you mean, you can only see four seagulls?!

A five car formation of DMU vehicles is seen on Kelling Heath, forming the 1637 Sheringham to Holt. Friday of the North Norfolk Railway's Rails and Ales Weekend.
Wow, what is going on with the weather at the moment? I had to shelter for around 45 mins before the skies cleared and I could get this shot. 10 minutes later it was pouring! At least it makes for some interesting skies :-)
Have a great weekend everyone, and if you're in England, don't get too wet :-)
