I captured this image late this afternoon whilst finishing up a 1-2-1 with a new female client. The light came good right at the end of a rather grey, flat and lifeless day and knowing the Lake District as well as I do, I know that the Langdale Pikes shine like a beacon when a little bit of light hits them.
I am so pleased with this image. I used a LEE Big Stopper to shoot it at 25 seconds as I wanted the smooth off the water in order to have the rocks stand out more. I love the yellow grasses at the base of the central rock. They play as much a role in creating an atmosphere as the light on the main peak does.
Your thoughts?

The False Creek area of Vancouver is so often filled with the vitality of life. People walking, people watching, people living, there is much to see and much to do. On this occasion, the inlet also had an enormous ocean going sailboat. I hazard to guess it's size, but it was a real beauty. I spent hours in the area watching as the sun went down and how its rays effected the area, especially this sailboat.
I watched as the owners returned and how their very large and loud dog greeted them as they boarded. Much later and long after the sun had set, the blue hour began. It was then the lights came on in and around the city. More photos were had of the area and as the sky dimmed, the city lights became more dominant. As well, the blue lights on the sailboat did the same. Now the warm and the cool were playing together, just before the sky turned black. I found the experience to be exciting so it is a good thing my camera sits on a tripod.
If you are a Sean Connery fan, you will recognize the title from his movie, The Hunt for Red October.
Taken last Friday evening at one of Ireland's most spectacular locations, the Cliffs of Moher. I was very fortunate to have a local photographer by the name of Sean Kitson accompany me to this location as it is not the usual place people shoot this scene from. The sunset was lovely with the colours radiating in the sky but this shot was taken just before the sun dropped below the horizon.
I love how the last warm rays of the sun light up the cliff faces beautifully while the flowers in the foreground stand over the surrounding views. Isn't it just lovely? This will be just one of the places we will be visiting on my Wild Atlantic Way Workshop next March (the North-North West workshop will take place this September).
I hope you all like it. Have a great evening whatever you happen to have planned and feel FREE to share it if you wish :D

Good evening everyone and I have been delving back into the archives for tonight's image as I am so busy putting the final touches on a lot of exciting events that I will be able to reveal in the coming days.
So, onto the image in question. I have been photographing this scene for over ten years now and I never, EVER tire of it. It's the beautiful Castle Crag (the small triangular fell in the centre distance which incidentally just so happens to be the lowest Wainwright that exists).
This shot was captured during a workshop back in late October 2016 when all of the wonderful autumnal colours were out in full bloom. I have deliberately gone for a long exposure to smooth out the water which for me suits the scene wonderfully well. Long exposure images also tend to pull out the available colour too which generally allows for a more impactful image. The sky was fantastic too. Real drama present.
I hope you like it. p.s. note the white bird on the post?

We spent some time in Drumheller, Alberta, home of the Dinosaurs. I saw a great bumper sticker that read, "I run on recycled Dinosaurs."
I captured this truly stunning scene on Friday during day two of my two day workshop. We arrived nice and early to give us time to look around and see what my clients would like to shoot. After giving them some advice on which part of this wonderful landscape I would photograph, we all set up and waited for the magic to happen.
There were some fantastic cloud structures which held in the gorgeous orange colours. The reflection of the sun on the water was a joy to witness and my clients were so happy to have experienced a beautiful sunrise. psssst. Don't tell anyone, so was I ;-)
I hope you all had a great weekend :D

It was an amazing, cloudy / rainy morning. Yet when there was a break in the clouds, it was magnificent !!

I love waterfalls, large ones, small ones, it doesn't matter and sometimes, as in this case, the smaller the better. Cauldron Falls in a wonderful series of small waterfalls that lie in the River Etive that nestles in the dark autumnal red and brown bracken of Rannoch Moor.
This photograph was taken at the end of a session with my clients in which I was demonstrating the effectiveness of using a wide angle lens, which is something that I am partial to using.
I hope you all like it and please feel free to SHARE if you wish.

There are two major water falls in Cliff Gilker Park, and neither are named. The upper falls is little more than a strong trickle now, while the lower is still flowing with intensity. This is the lower falls. It is fed by the upper falls so I do not have an explanation as to why it continues to have such a strong flow.
For the most part, the Park is still and quiet. Three of the four bridges are out making it difficult to travers the forest. Two were washed out years ago, while the the third was recently damaged by teenagers. However, the rules for these bridges have changed in recent years. They must now be wheel chair accessible, which takes their expense out of the townships budget.
When the clouds lingered on the distant horizon, it was time to grab my camera and tripod, then make for the rocks at Snickett Park. Upon arrival, I clambered about eventually finding a crevasse for the foreground. While I was awkwardly perched, a man stammered up on my left. I thought, "oh, here we go". He leaned in showing me an iPhone shot he had taken of me. "The wild taking photos of the wild", he blustered. And, considering the strong smell of alcohol, it was good a lit match was not present.
Then a family came close and a young lady introduced herself as Penny, and asked a few questions. The show of colors had begun so I remained but answered. They were visiting from England and were enjoying a holiday. I offered my site as reference so she could find spots of interest along the Sunshine Coast.
Nice to meet you Penny.
Visualizing the trees making their way across this red carpet of leaves, gave rise to more imagery. While one tree is seen moving out of the frame, another takes center stage. This in turn is followed up by a pair just entering the area. A contingent of onlookers view the proceedings in the background, while others enjoy the light.
It is all in how you look at things, that helps create a final result. My narrative for this shot, tells me what to exclude, and what further supports the story. Plus a vivid imagination and thinking just a little off center.
Around this time last year, I started getting serious about landscape photography. I spent many days scouting locations, many of which were new to me.
However, one of those new spots was recommended by a fellow local photographer, surfwax (John). John knew I might find this little rocky shelf interesting, and I'd have to agree.
My first time here, the wind and swell drove me back onto the bluffs in order to shoot from a drier vantage point. The next two times were a bust...and the wind and swell were just as wet and wild as the first time.
However, last night, the wind laid down, a small wedge of cloud moved in and things just fell into place.
I've wanted to capture a scene here with the sun setting down the middle of this long channel and there are only two short windows each year to get it. The timing, lighting, and wave action was tricky, so I wound up blending two exposures for this one.
I hope to capture more of this section of coast, and I'd love to do it with a single shot, not a blend. As the current window closes, I look forward to the next one.

Here's another composition from the day Kendra and I had a nice storm system pass through during the mid afternoon at Lake Tahoe's Sand Harbor.
We got really lucky with the weather that trip. We had still waters and a colorful sunset the first night and morning. Then we had a storm rear its beautiful head the 2nd day and had a light snowfall on us for our sunset shoot turning into tons of fresh snow for sunrise the next day. By sunset, it was clear, but we got nice shots. Variety is the spice of life!
Just going down memory lane at the moment and this shot jumped out at me. Have a great weekend ahead everyone!

The Intermediate Egret has similar features with the Great Egret. They differ though as follows:
a. The Intermediate Egret is smaller than the Great Egret.
b. The gape underneath the eyes end at the rear of the eyes.
c. Does not have the large kink in the throat of the Great Egret.

WOW, it was a hell of a sunrise this morning at Derwentwater near Keswick. Arriving on location at 6.15am with my Andrew, my 1-2-1 client for two days, we quickly set up our cameras and I fired off this shot whilst Andrew was setting up.
I have visited this location on numerous occasions forever hopeful of capturing a stunning sunrise and today I got it. Am I happy? You betcha.
I hope you all had a wonderful day too. Tomorrow morning the weather forecast is predicting great things so we're off at 5am in search of some magic again. This landscape photography malarky is quite a nice way to live a life wouldn't you say? :D

To shoot or not to shoot? That is the question. Actually, there's never a moment of doubt in my mind as to whether to capture on camera an iconic and well known viewpoint. Sure, thousands before me have taken this scene but I don't worry about that, I simply want to do the very best job that I can in photographing it myself.
To that end, I am delighted with this image. It was shot last week on my Glencoe workshop. This was the composition that I wanted but it involved clambering down into the pit as I call it to get water side as opposed to standing high up on the ledge above my head. The main dominant rock in the foreground was my subject and using a 16-35mm lens at 16mm on a full frame Canon 5Ds was the only way for me to get it and still be able to use my range of Haida filters.
I hope you all like it. The coordinates for these falls are 56.647564, -4.866706
