I spent 2 days at the North Rim of Grand Canyon and it rained most of the time. I chased the lightning here for 3 hours and took over 1000 boltless photos under an umbrella during my endeavor. Trying to capture lightning without a trigger trap is a huge waste of time, but when your successful just once it makes it all the more rewarding. I tried several different setups using continuous shutter mode with long exposures and then switched to shorter exposures on slow shooting continuous mode and thought that I had failed. When I later reviewed my photos back at the campground I found that I had captured one photo with a strike included. I guess it was luck or just persistence that rewarded me. I also used a second camera to capture video of the storm and the awesome thunderstorm that accompanied the storm. I'm not sure if I will post any of the video but it was nice to have a personal record of the awesomeness of the storms the frequent the Grand Canyon.
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great week ahead everybody!! :)

Robin [Erithacus rubecula]
This is Flash, the wee female robin...just getting ready to fly off.
She has been appearing at my feeders at The Pixies for months, now, and I noticed she had damaged her left wing, in March. She seems to be having no adverse effects, thank goodness. When I call her name, she appears for some special wee bird nuggets. I know she has been feeding youngsters but I haven’t seen them, yet...

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back
Like vanishing dew,
a passing apparition
or the sudden flash
of lightning -- already gone --

An early evening thunderstorm moves over Longmont Colorado. Oddly several planes were flying through the storm, resembling small meteor streaks here. This storm occurred a week before my previous lightning/ t-storm post.
An old shot from 2018 as I was experimenting with water drop photography. Used a flash to freeze the action.
Heavy frost here recently. Another shot with off-camera flash. I like creating high contrast black and white shots of ferns as you concentrate on their shapes and textures. I process the raw file in DxO PhotoLab with my main concern to crush the blacks around the fern and remove any distracting elements then I use the FilmPack plugin, selecting a film look I think suits the image best and tweaking it from there.
The river picks up the light and reflections from that lovely sky, the sun casting a flash of light through the trees as it slowly sinks behind the far hills.
My longish exposure smooths the river surface to enhance the reflections, you can make out the sun on the river and the ruffled surface in places where debris was floating by.
Lowena update, She took a turn for the worse on Saturday with another visit to the vet.and yet another visit this morning.
The silly dog ate something that made here so ill plus she had an ear infection, fortunately she was well enough for us to make the long drive there and back to Bristol, three hundred miles there and back was a long day for all of us but we got a lot sorted with Jane`s aunts affairs and hopefully we will not have to go again.
Now the washing machine has decided it has a blockedge which I cannot sort so an engineer has come and taken it apart to sort it, arghhhhh lol
And thank you my sweet friends for all the tricks and tips that you give me !! Love you all ♥ and specially Natsu who helped me started... ♥
As usual, Bart interrupted my flower photography in the kitchen tonight. He misses me when I'm gone for much of the day, and needs his attention. I took my camera off the tripod, put the flash on, and switched the camera to my animal settings, then snapped a few photos. My 105mm macro lens is also good for portraits. Behind him is my new sequined backdrop, with rainbow stripes, also seen as bokeh in the rose photo that precedes this one.
If you see the auroras pulsate and flash across the sky and your neck is stiff and sore, then you know you've had an exceptional night under the stars.

This weekend at the wetlands we saw 2 Orangetips and a foty Blue. Not a great shot - this male was tiny like a pale white ghost blowing in the wind, flashing his orange tips.

Happy Butterfly Monday!
Flash off camera fired using ebay wizzards. Flash is placed to the left, with a dish in the sink with the tap dripping.
I visited Joppa Hill Farm today, a community farm owned by the town of Bedford, NH. I love community farms, as they usually let you walk around and meet the animals. It's also nice that they're owned by their community, who are invested in making it a thriving farm, often with an educational purpose.
These goats are among a half dozen or so living there, and they are friendly. They enjoyed some pats and scratchies for Christmas.
Lighting: Lit with one Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box positioned at camera left and just out of the frame. Fill light is from a hand mirror positioned at camera right. The strobe and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. For each image in the set, and there are over 1800 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
Collage formado por varias fotos de agua con flashes de colores, quizás habria sido mejor una a una, bueno, con paciencia lo háré
Interrupting the street portrait series in light of a Tsunami Warning. The monster 8.8 earthquake in Chile has apparently generated a Tsunami that we will experience, to some degree in Malibu! Hawaii is apparently going to get the worst of it.
This shot was taken moments ago from my deck, which hopefully will still exist by the end of the day.
Let's pray for the Chileans.
