At its best, the entire circular cloud thingy, the halo, as I call it, started to glow brightly.
I am so thankful I managed to photograph this one shot :)
Can someone help me with the i.d. of the cloud ?
Updated 24 Aug 09: I've just learnt that the circular cloud at the top that's glowing, that's called a Lenticular Pileus cloud !
And thanks to all for helping make this my first photo to be Explored 9 August, 2009

Ellie attempts to pay homage to the numerous limestone/gritstone crags that have helped to cement the strong tradition and world wide reputation of British rock climbing and mountaineering. These outcrops virtually encircle the city of Sheffield, which ensured that the citys climbers and ramblers would be instrumental in the 1932 Kinder Mass Trespass, along with like-minded people from my home city of Manchester. This celebrated ‘Right to Roam’ protest led directly to the opening up of access to the spectacular English landscape for us all to enjoy, a hard earned right that we now take almost for granted.
David imagined Ellie hauling timber around the forests of India before arriving in the steelyards of Sheffield in 1916, and so gave the crags and boulders the texture and colouring of teak and mahogany.
Why Ellie? David’s father, Albert Elliot Hoodith, though born in British Guyana and raised in Barbados was of Indian origin and was born in 1918, as the war which brought Ellie to England finally came to an end. It was the outbreak of World War II that brought his father, whose schoolboy nickname was Ellie, to England, and so he thought it fitting to pass the name from one hard working Indian to another. He is sure his father would have approved.
Designed by: David Elliot Hoodith
David was born in Manchester in1950 and has now lived in The Peak District for twenty years. He is a self taught artist working with a variety of materials though Ellie is his first experience working on such a scale and in three dimensions. He exhibits his paintings at The Gallery in The Gardens in Buxton and at The New Mills Gallery in his adoptive home town.

Summer 2016, a herd of elephant sculptures descended on Sheffield for the biggest public art event the city has ever seen!
58 elephant sculptures, each uniquely decorated by artists, descended on Sheffield’s parks and open spaces, creating one of the biggest mass participation arts events the city has ever seen. Did you find them all?
The trail of elephants celebrates Sheffield’s creativity with over 75% of artists from the city. Some well-known names include Pete McKee, James Green, Jonathan Wilkinson and Lydia Monks – each of which has put their own creative mark on a 1.6m tall fibreglass elephant sculpture. They are all very difference, take a selfie with your favourite as they will be on display until the end of September.
International artist Mark Alexander, who is currently working with Rembrandt for an exhibition in Berlin, flew to Sheffield especially to paint his elephant and international players from the World Snooker Championship signed SnookHerd, an elephant celebrating the heritage of snooker in Sheffield.
The Arctic Monkeys, famous for their love of their home city, added their signatures to their own personalised sculpture which pays homage to the striking sound wave cover of the band’s 2013 album “AM”.
By supporting the Herd of Sheffield you are investing in the future of Sheffield Children’s Hospital. Every penny raised will go towards our Artfelt programme, which transforms the hospital’s walls and spaces with bright art, helping children recover in an environment tailored to them. The programme also puts on workshops for youngsters to provide distraction during anxious moments – such as before an operation, and to breakup long stays on the wards.
This exciting Wild in Art event brought to you by The Children’s Hospital Charity will:
Unite our city – bringing businesses, communities, artists, individuals and schools together to create a FREE sculpture trail which is accessible to all.
Attract more visitors – both nationally and regionally as well as encouraging thousands of people to become a tourist in their own city.
Invest in the future – with a city wide education programme that can be used for years to come and by funding a life-saving piece of medical equipment at Sheffield Children’s Hospital from the Herd auction at the end of the trail.
Showcase our city – celebrating Sheffield’s heritage and cementing our status as a vibrant and culturally exciting city through this world-class initiative.
The Herd of Sheffield Farewell Weekend was held on 14-16 October and was your chance to say a last goodbye to all 58 large elephant sculptures as they gather in one place for a final send-off at Meadowhall.
This special event gave visitors a chance to see the entire herd in all its glory – from the signed Arctic Monkeys’ ‘AM’ elephant, right through to ‘SnookHerd’, autographed by a host of international snooker players including current world champion Mark Selby.
Please note that the Little Herd elephants will not be on display as they will be returned to their school for pupils to enjoy.
Meadowhall, along with its joint owners, British Land are very proud to be supporting The Children’s Hospital Charity as host sponsors for the Herd of Sheffield Farewell Weekend.
Auction: Hundreds of elephant enthusiasts gathered at the Crucible on 20 October for the Herd of Sheffield Auction, which raised a total of £410,600 for The Children’s Hospital Charity.

"Awake! (not Greece—she is awake!)
Awake, my spirit! Think through whom
Thy life-blood tracks its parent lake,
And then strike home!
If thou regret’st thy youth, why live?
The land of honourable death
Is here:—up to the field, and give
Away thy breath!"
Excerpts from On This Day I Complete My Thirty-Sixth Year, by George Gordon, Lord Byron
195 years ago today, George Gordon, Lord Byron, the famous and infamous Romantic poet, died of what was probably malaria in Messolonghi, Greece, only 36 years old. Why was the British Lord-turned-rockstar poet in the damp, wetlands of Messolonghi? He was fighting a war. At the time, the Greek citizens were under attack and invasion by the Turks and desperately needed help. Byron had read all the Greek classics in school, learned Greek and had fallen in love with its people and culture when he travelled there several years before. Though he had no military training or experience, he decided that he had to do SOMETHING to help save the Greeks, so he went there, not knowing exactly what would happen.
His fellow British were mainly indifferent about the war; it wasn’t their problem and they saw no reason to help fund the Greek’s defenses. Byron had left Britain in 1816 after years of scandal and most British people were glad to see the most brilliant wordsmith the world has ever seen leave. But they were still fascinated with him, eagerly gobbling up every scrap of gossip, true or not, about him, while simultaneously actively snubbing him if their paths did cross. When word spread that Byron had almost single-handedly taken up the Greek cause, it was met with a slight curiosity and suspicion about what Byron hopes to gain from his involvement. In truth, he sincerely only wanted Greece to be free and was helping however he could. He poured what would be millions of dollars of his own, personal money into the Greek cause, while writing compelling letters to other wealthy British citizens and political leaders, trying to get them to contribute as well. The results were tepid at best.
And then, the glorious sun king of poetry died.
The Greeks, who already loved him, almost turned him into a saint. There are statues of him all over Greece and even today, he’s still considered a national hero, complete with a Byron Day celebrated every year. To the British, he had become a martyr and all previous negative views on him were instantly erased. The government coughed up enough money to help the Greeks win the war and maintain their independence. When Byron’s body was transported back to England (against his wishes to be buried in Greece, though his lungs and larynx were left there, as he had used his voice to save them) the crowds who gathered to view his body overwhelmed every church his body stopped in on his way to its final destination. Locks of his hair were snipped off, in the 19th century version of throwing your bra or panties at a sex symbol celebrity. He was denied burial with Britain’s other most famous poets for the scandals he had caused in life (mostly true but a few more salacious ones made up) and it was only the chapel at one of the schools he had attended that agreed to take him in, in his family’s longtime vault.
Byron lived life on his own terms. Despite mental health problems, frequent suicidal ideation, being born with a painfully deformed right foot, having lovers die, an abusive mother, being sexually and physically abused as a child and his own country turning its back on him, he is still one of the most beloved English writers in history. And rightly so. He loved other men romantically at a time when he could have been hung for it. He loved deep and hard, even when his eternal soulmate turned out to be his half-sister Augusta. But she loved him back with equal passion and ferocity, and as two consenting adults, I see no reason that it’s anyone else’s business that they loved each other.
This image reminds me of Byron today, on the anniversary of his death, for many reasons. For the mental healthcare he should have received but didn’t exist yet. For the physical healthcare that also didn’t exist. For the despair he sank into when he was forced to leave his country, everyone he had ever known and loved, and never return. For the call he heard and he alone answered from Greece. For the help that his martyrdom created for Greece, enabling what he had wished for all along: freedom.
We are all fighting different internal battles that will rarely be seen by others. It might be mental health, invisible physical illnesses, PTSD, addiction or simply a problem we haven’t confessed to anyone. We all need help, and asking for it can be the scariest thing to do. But it’s worth it. You’re worth it. Byron would have thought so too. If you’re feeling like nobody will understand whatever you’re going through, try reading some of Byron’s poetry. He understood pain better than most and he would have understood what you’re going through too. Keep fighting, because Byron never gave up no matter how unimaginably horrible things got. You can be the hero you long to be. Byron did it, and so can you. Awake your spirit, as he would say, and fight.
Thank you to the ever-patient Dedeker Winston for posing in my cramped bathroom and waiting far too long to receive the finished image. I am, as always, grateful for your help in bringing my ideas to life!

I bought this cutie today at a thrift store... but he needs names. I am open to exotic & different names or even classic names. I will pick one by Tuesday. Thank you all in advance! :)
I welcome criticism... please help me get better by telling me what you don't like about the pic or processing or whatever. I get value from that. This was a hard one for me to process... the best sky was well after the sun went down, but it was dark... and the light was flat and low in the canyon by then. The line of the split grad and the blend for the sky is annoyingly obvious, but I don't know what else to do about that. It was hard to get this looking the way I remember it in real life. I feel like I've made it too contrasty down in the canyon... but I wanted to bring out that beautiful detail, and anything less looked too flat. Oh well, I'm tired of messing with it, so I'm done for now. I've got a zillion other shots of this place over two evenings.
Horseshoe bend by the way, is pretty amazing! I'd heard photos can't do this place justice, and now that I've been, I agree. Even the monster Peter Lik shot I saw in Vegas doesn't convey the scale of this place. Its just a massive, massive scene in front of you. Page was pretty boring, and photographically it's two main attractions are heavily, heavily photographed. I almost didn't go, because of that, but I'm glad I did. If I ever go again, I'll spend more time in the BLM land around it, though I think I'd rather see more of Zion or head down to Toroweep instead next time.
Some of our little helpers from The Buddhist and the Muslim world. We also have the Catholic juxtaposition with the Virgin of Guadelupe.
help me san fransico residents you my only hope. come see my at my book signing / talk on the 12th october at the booksmith and / or come to one of my hot shots photo courses

J'ai besoin de votre aide, je ne sais plus quoi faire : sur des séries de photos je me retrouve avec plusieurs photos comme celle-ci. Cela m'arrive depuis que j'ai mon EOS 80D mais pas à chaque prises de vues. La carte mémoire est neuve, c'est une Carte SDXC Samsung 64Go + avec 90 mb/s en écriture et 100 mb/s en lecture. Celle-ci a été formatée dans l'appareil dès que je lai acheté. Mon 80D est neuf. (05/2021). J'espère que ce n'est pas une panne logicielle ou pire encore une panne matérielle.. J'ai mis la carte mémoire dans mon 550D, je n'ai pas eu ce problème. J'ai tenté avec une autre carte mémoire dans mon 80D, je n'ai pas rencontré le problème non plus mais comme dit plus haut, ça ne le fait pas sur tous les clichés...
Est-ce qu'il faut que je l'envoie à Canon et qu'ils me l'immobilise pendant 1000 ans ? Et est ce que ca peut être pris en charge par Canon ?
J'avais rencontré ce type de problème avec une carte dans mon 550D mais après formatage, il n'y avait plus de problème.
des avis, des conseils ? je suis preneuse là, parce que je n'en plus de jeter mes photos...
Picture is only somewhat relevant. As you probably read in the title I need help. I am writing a stop motion film (The image above is a snippit from an animation test i did) And I am stuck with the plot. IF anyone is interested in helping me sort it out and write it just leave a comment below!
THANKS!

I'm wondering if anyone can offer some advice for successfully using (or NOT using) a polarizing filter under mid-day sun. Is this due to wide angle? With the sun over my right shoulder, can it be done??
You can see in this photo that the sky is horribly gradated and is WAY underexposed. If I overexpose, the sky is STILL gradated, and the water is blown out. I want to get the rich color of the polarized water, but the sky looks terrible!
This is one of the photos I took from a recent hike through the dunes of the Cape Cod National Seashore. It was a very bright day under mid-day sun.

To alleviate the problems encountered with a tired and ageing fleet, GM Buses South hired twenty Volvo B6's with Alexander Dash bodywork from Stagecoach. This raised quite a few eyebrows within the bus industry as it was the worlds worst kept secret that Stagecoach had wished to purchase the concern when first put up for sale, with them even taking a full page advert out in the Manchester Evening News to try and convince staff that they would be a better option than buying the company themselves.
In the end an employee buyout won the day and Stagecoach began operating in competition with GMS on the infamous 192 service. When these B6's arrived rumours were rife that the fledgling company had sold out to the 'Big Boys'. To be honest they didn't help themselves by just painting the stripes out in orange and adding a grey skirt, I mean, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out where they had come from!
Just in case anyone has been living on another planet for the past twenty years, Stagecoach did eventually buy GM Buses South from it's employees and it has been the jewel in their crown ever since.
More problems for the westbound Southwest Chief as he heads down (the usual) Track 3 at Cajon Pass on a beautiful April morning. An Amtrak GE swapped places with this GE from BNSF. Two re-furbished Metrolink commuter cars are included in the consist.

As you may have heard, Japan was destroyed by an 8.9 earthquake and tsunami.
I almost spent the whole day watching the news and checking the tweets on Twitter. I couldn't barely work because of this disaster. I wasn't gonna sit there and do nothing, so I decided do whatever I can, to help the situation in Japan.
Inspired by the movement created by James White and others like Hydro74 and PJ Tierney. I decided to make this print entitled: Wake from Death and Return To Life. It's a japanese expression "kishi kaisei" and it means "To come out of a desperate situation and make a complete return in one sudden burst." It's to honour the courage of the japanese people after such a montruous tragedy.
I already sent this 12 x18 in poster to my printer and this will be included into a set of two (2) posters for sale on my online store. I'll include also my Retro Montreal Poster as a gift for your sale.
I'll also put down the prices of what's left from the Montreal Meets Store and ALL the sales will be donated to the Canadian Red Cross.
As a designer, it's the least I can do to help those you can't do anything right now and this whole disaster makes you feel very fortunate for what you have in your life. I hope my gesture will inspire you to do the same! Join me.
Thank you and let's help Japan! Peace!
