Another Twin Peaks night shot, from the same series as my previous photo. This time, a telephoto long exposure shot of downtown San Francisco, still all lit up from Christmas.

Taken with the D800E, processed in Photoshop.

The experience of observing sunlight through trees is one of life’s “pure and spontaneous pleasures”.

I was like a robot when the 4.30am alarm went off, making my way to the bathroom before struggling to open my eyes.

The plan was to search for woodland mist and fog on Dartmoor. On the way I came across a beautiful patch of pink tinted mist at Cadover Bridge but reluctantly decided to keep going in search of trees.

Unfortunately the visibility was good over the moors towards Princetown with just a few pockets of mist in the distance. Bellever Forest and Postbridge were surprisingly clear too but as the sun came up 30 minutes later the mist to rolled in.

I nearly crashed the car when I saw these mind blowing crepuscular rays beaming through this tree. “Oh WoW!”

There was no obvious place to park safely apart from a tiny clearing 100 metres away. A nonchalant cow occupied most of that space and wouldn’t budge at first and needed gentle persuasion. It’s mates that were blocking the lane were happy to casually moooove over. I grabbed my camera gear and swiftly headed to the ‘tree of light’ to capture in camera this wonderful surreal scene over the stone wall.

A minute later the soft mist drifted away and the light rays vanished.

I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Although, having cow whispering skills helped, persistence and plenty of diesel in the tank driving up and down on the moors.

Feeling happy with myself I continued on the mini safari to chase the mist stopping for sheep, ponies and rabbits in along the way. It really was the best time of the day.

A kiss of light…..(And a journey in photography) by Watson-Photography

Experimenting with the beautiful autumn light. I really fell in love with way the light just touches the petals and leaves. The bit I’m not as happy with is composition, I was to focused on the natural light and took my eye of the overall composition. Unfortunately my assistant also slightly shook unitedly,causing the back of the flower to very slightly blur. So why post it then….while true there are parts I must work on I loved the autumn light and the fall off of the focus on the flower. I also made sure to get my focus and shutter speed nailed which I have had some misses lately with my new camera as I get used to the quirks of my equipment and learn how to achieve it all. I felt my original vision made for a lovely shot unfortunately it’s the execution I need to work So I maybe next time, which I guess is the message. It won’t always work but learn lessons and believe next time it will be great. Should note this shot is unedited straight from camera. This is something I have been working very hard on in my picture taking. Trying to get the whole thing right in camera, as you can clearly see,it’s still a work in progress😂

Bautzen II by Ralf Blumenschein

12 5

Dieser Gefängnisbau war die meiste Zeit seines Bestehens bekannt als "Sonderhaftanstalt des Ministeriums für Staatssicherheit der DDR Bautzen II", auch "StaSi-Knast" genannt. Heute ein sehenswertes Museum und ein heftiges Kontrast-Programm nach meinem Aschenbrödel-Wintermärchen am Vormittag. Auf 4 Stockwerken wird im ehemaligen Gefängnisbau der zumeist unmenschliche Haftalltag über 8 Jahrzehnte hinweg (1906-1992) dargestellt. Es mag nicht überraschen, dass ich auch hier wiederum vollkommen alleine unterwegs war (außer einem Aufseher im EG). Ein durchaus bedrückendes Erlebnis.
