Kalbarri National Park is home to many awe inspiring vistas. The seasoned traveler would be able to name a handful of the iconic landmarks in the area.
For me, however, Pot Alley is the location around Kalbarri that provides the best photographic opportunities.
The winding alleys flanked by sand stone rock formations, jagged red cliffs and native flora gives the sense of being much further away from the civilization than you really are. In reality, however, Pot Alley is located 10 mins away from the town of Kalbarri and is one of the most accessible sight seeing locations in the National Park.
This is a 77 frame panorama captured with a Nikon Z6 and 35mm 1.8 S lens. I shot this image with a wide open aperture and a low percentage of overlap between frames (40% instead of my usual 50-60%) because I've heard good reviews of 35mm S lens that I wanted to push it to is limits.
The 35mm is truly an amazing performer with ultra low distortion and incredibly sharp corners when shot wide-open. It also out performed the Nikon 58mm f/1.4G for coma performance in the corners, something very few Nikon lenses do well.

A guide in Khao Yai NP, Thailand told me that she saw a Pit Viper near the military area a few days before I arrived. The viper swallowed a bird and rested...
I was not really convinced that it would still be there… but I was wrong! (Later I saw that it’s hard to move around with such a full stomach!)

Tell everybody i'm on my way
New friends and new places to see
With blue skies ahead, yes i'm on my way
And theres no where else i'd rather be
Tell everybody i'm on my way
And i'm loving every step i take
With the sun beating down, yes i'm on my way
And i can't keep this smile off my face
Cause theres nothing like, seeing each other again
No matter what the distance between
And the stories we tell, will make you smile
Or really lifts my heart~

Sometimes we are a bit lost, feeling empty. We may not know which paths to take and what is our destination. On those moments we need our guiding light like ships used to need lighthouses to stay on a course. From time to time this light may be dim and we really have to search for it. But eventually, the light will get brighter, allowing us to follow the light. To follow our passion.
On this capture, me and my friend made some light painting around this lighthouse, making it shine a little bit brighter.
This lighthouse was captured in Reposaari, Pori, Finland.
Thank you.
Beneath the vatnajökull glacier on Iceland's south coast incredible ice caves are carved by the waters flowing through and beneath the vast tongue of ice. As scientific understanding of this frozen world deepens, we begin to see that life survives even after being frozen in time for thousands of years. It even thrives in the waters underneath: icelandmonitor.mbl.is/news/nature_and_travel/2017/07/10/r...
Kevin Benedict and I had the incredible experience of exploring the ice caves, led by the fantastic guides from Blue Iceland - blueiceland.is on an unforgettable visit in 2018. Deep inside the glacier I was mesmerized by the forms, textures and otherworldly glow coming from within the ice. At times it felt almost organic, like being inside an unimaginably large alien creature (yes, I have an active imagination and I watch and read too much Sci-Fi). With our recent understanding of the vast amount of bacteria, viruses and other microscopic life that lies within the ice, this may not be entirely inaccurate! I've already posted a couple other pictures from the ice cave, so I may be starting to get repetitive here, but this is possibly my favorite picture from the entire trip. I know abstracts aren't everyone's cup of tea, but the forms, the almost oily texture, the color and the glow of this particular surface within the cave made me almost giddy, and the fact that I was able to capture this surprisingly well in camera delights me to no end. It was *not* an easy photo to take as it was a rather tight space, and quite deep within the cave, so it required some sucking in of the tummy and rather complicated arranging of tripod and camera. I couldn't get the visual alignment quite as square as I would have liked but I was happy to get any shot at all (and astounded that the camera was able to find focus in such a dark place). I was also *very* relieved once I had the shot and was able to extricate myself and move back out to less claustrophobic conditions. So I know that few others will have the same emotional reaction to this icy abstract that I do and that's ok with me, this image brings me immense personal satisfaction and some good memories of being forced out of my comfort zone to experience something truly unique.
My camera, which I dearly love and has served me brilliantly, nonetheless has some flaws. The sensor is well known to have hot spot issues with longer epxosure shots. The same Sony sensor is used by both the Nikon D810 and Pentax K-1. Nikon provided a fix for this issue once it became evident (photographylife.com/news/nikon-confirms-the-d810-thermal-...), but Pentax chose to fix it via software, so the K-1 provides a hot-spot removal option on long exposure shots, which is effectively implemented as a two-phase shot where the camera takes the same image again with the shutter closed, finds all the non-black pixels and then subtracts them or some such thing. Anyway, this is ok BUT I don't use it that often in practice because it adds a large amount of in-camera processing time to an already long shot. Keep in mind I almost always shoot with Pentax's "Pixel Shift" mode which takes 4 shots moving the sensor 1 pixel between each shot and then combining them together to get improved sharpness, dynamic range and color fidelity. Pixel Shift proved an absolute technological god-send in the darkness of the ice caves allowing me to lift the shadows by 2 additional stops without adding noise. But now you have a shot which is already a 30 second exposure X 4, so two full minutes of exposure time. Adding the automatic in-camera hot spot reduction would've taken each shot to nearly 5 minutes (!). That's a long time to be hanging around in a dark cramped nook of a cave below a few million tons of ice. So to finally come to the point of this story, I didn't use the hot spot reduction. And it's a dark long-exposure shot. So there were a lot of hot spots I found in this image and it took hours of cloning to remove the 200+ hot spots from the resulting image. And I may not have found them all.

The streets of Montréal have these painted walls as side decoration and they are always vibrant with colors.
Pegaus is a mythical winged divine stallion, and one of the most recognised creatures in Greek mythology. Usually depicted as pure white, Pegasus is a child of the Olympian god Poseidon. ... Friend of the Muses, Pegasus created Hippocrene, the fountain on Mt.
Here however, Pegasus is seen on the bonnet of a 1930 MG saloon... Some distance away from Ancient Greece, in Stony Stratford.
