After climbing up the shadowed side arriving around this tor on the summit of Slieve Bearnagh at the peak of the best of the light of that sunset this was what I was able to keep, to remember that moment. It was a warm and windless night and the midges had left me alone now that I was at the summit (eaten alive on the way up!). Now just to navigate my way back down in the dark! Managed to get the worst steep part done in twilight so then head lamp and follow the trail back to the car. When I was nearly back I saw another headlamp and found a man who was having to move his tent due to 4 over interested Highland cattle! Much higher up or in the campsite next time pal! www.glensumnerphotoraphy.com
Revisiting Rainbow Falls just below Rossport where the early bird gets the shot, my kind of morning, my kind of landscape and even more important my kind of light. Getting set up on a shot location under headlamp and waiting for the sun to kiss the treetops is an exercise in patience something I sorely lack but photography has instilled in me nevertheless. Lack of morning leisure time may be a side effect of my hobby but it is more than made up for in the lightshow put on by nature almost every morning I trade sleep for memory.
I took this on Sept 22nd, 2021 with my D850 and Tamron 24-70 f2.8 G2 Lens at 24mm, 30s, f8 ISO 64 processed in LR, PS +Topaz ,and DXO

I don't remember what car this was, though I am pretty sure it was a Mercedes Benz. But, it does seem to exhibit attitude. I don't usually shoot whole cars, preferring to focus on the details. Especially the lights.

Last Sunday and Monday were my first two completely free days I have had in quite some time. So after finishing my last Choral Concert for the year on Saturday, I set the alarm for 4 AM and set off for Zion National Park. I had never been there before, but had heard it was amazing, and Google showed it as being a 6 hour drive from my house, roughly the same amount of time it takes for me to get to Yosemite. So by 6 AM, I was already through the Cajon pass and on my way to Zion.
Many hard lessons were learned on this trip, and I hope to go into detail on my blog later regarding how no one should ever, under any circumstances, head to a popular national park on Memorial Day weekend and then try to get back home on the last day of the weekend on the one highway leading back to LA from Vegas...(nine hours of traffic!), but let me skip ahead to the part where I drove through Zion without stopping due to the insane crowds and lousy sky and headed straight on to Bryce in hopes of tracking down a thunderstorm.
Bryce was amazing, but the canyon is on the Eastern side of the ridge which wasn't what I need for my sunset shot and I knew that I might still be able to get back to Zion for either a sunset or a blue hour shot from the Canyon Overlook. At this point I should probably mention that I usually spend quite a bit of time scouting locations online before I head out, but in this case, it was such a last minute decision that all I had to go on was that Zion was off of the 15 and Bryce was a bit East of Zion. It was small wonder, then, that I drove right by the Canyon Overlook trail head twice, completely missing the blue hour shot with light trails that I was hoping to get. When I finally tracked down the trailhead, it was already past 9 PM and I knew that it was now much darker than I had planned on. Undeterred, I headed up the trail in the dark with my headlamp.
After a semi-sketchy hike in the dark, I climbed over one last large boulder and found myself looking out over the valley. The view was absolutely stunning, and since I was all by myself up there, I just took a few moments to soak it in. It took a while for my eyes to adjust once I flipped off the headlamp and the stars were gleaming brightly in the warm breeze and you could barely hear the cars down below as they zig-zagged across the valley floor like pachinko machine balls made of light.
This shot is a combination of a 90 second exposure for the valley and light trails, and 30 second exposure for the sky. (Going longer than 30 seconds with the 14-24 would blur the stars.) The glow off of the clouds above seemed to be coming from Hurricane and the surrounding towns.
The rest of the trip was a blur between shooting the Milky Way and getting a couple of hours of sleep before heading back to Bryce for the Sunrise before the long odyssey of trying to get back home on the 15. I'm hoping to spend MUCH more time there on my next trip, which will hopefully be during the off season... on a weekday...in the snow. Never again on Memorial Day weekend!

The 21 Gun Salute International Vintage Car Rally, is the first vintage car rally I attended. I was super excited to see the collection of the classic cars from the oldest 1909 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost to the youngest 1966 Ford Mustang. It was a very well organized event. Mr. Mahesh Sharma (minister of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation) flagged off the rally at the Red Fort in New Delhi and the Buddh International Circuit (F1 Track, India) at Greater Noida. This Cadillac Phaeton was treat to the eyes. A 4-door convertible Cadillac Phaeton was a beauty to behold with every bit clean, sturdy and sparkling. Rearview mirror made of chrome reflecting the front view of the part of the car, the track and the spectators on the side. The car has electric windshield wipers, extensive use of chrome and Synchromesh transmission. The cars and the rally was an event not to be missed.

This fall I have been living at the Mountain Research Station to facilitate teaching remotely (better wifi and office). Since my cabin doesn't have running water, I need to trek to the lodge in the morning darkness to take a shower. I noticed during the first September snowstorm how odd the wind driven snow looked in the light of my headlamp- strings of pearls. The mystery was finally solved in mid-November by Garys_thisandthat. The LED headlamp flashes on and off at 0.02 sec cycles, so a snow flake is repeatedly illuminated as it falls, providing this wonderful patterning caught here with my iPhone camera, which does a better job of staying dry in the snow than my Sony.

This is a photo of me in the Joshua Tree Wilderness Area. It was one of these epic desert sky days when we stayed too late taking photos, only to realize we would need to hike home in the dark! Hand-held with a 0,6 second exposure, so a lot of blur, but I still like it. I did a lot of editing, hoping to capture the feeling of our experience. And yes, we did (eventually) find our car and made it back safely! Photo credit: S. Wessel. HSS!!

A headlamp is a lamp attached to the front of a vehicle to light the road ahead. While it is common for the term headlight to be used interchangeably in informal discussion, headlamp is the term for the device itself, while headlight properly refers to the beam of light produced and distributed by the device.
