It has been a while since my last upload, but I was so desperate to share some of my pics with you guys because otherwise I will be showing South-African photos for one year only when I return. Furthermore, since the internet here in Port Alfred finally is getting decent again, I am slightly able to upload some photos and therefore I decided to step away from my break and recently 'try' to upload a shot about my journeys.
This shot was taken during a roadtrip along the Garden Route while parents were visiting. On this day, the sea was rough as hell with amazing high waves and a tremendous strong wind near Cape St. Francis in the Eastern-Cape. I wanted to make a LE here since conditions were superbe, but the wind was just to strong because I even couldn't stand straight.....
Hope you will enjoy my first real South African nature shot, and prepare for at least half a year of South African shots.

Another beautiful day here today so I hope to finally get a few more fall foliage pictures and at the rate I process pictures I might have one posted by the time the snow flies!
This is another shot from last weekend when the water was so calm on "The Arm". I was lying on the dock with the camera resting on the edge to get this angle. It reminds me of a good tip I heard from a friend; stay the F#@k off private property!
Oh wait... no it was to always wrap your camera's neck strap around your wrist. And being a clumsy oaf I always try to remember that tip. It has saved the camera a couple times already!
This little row boat looks best viewed LARGE!

Lake Titicaca 20221123
Lake Titicaca, the world’s highest lake navigable to large vessels, lying at 3,810 meters above sea level in the Andes Mountains of South America, astride the border between Peru to the west and Bolivia to the east. Titicaca is the second largest lake of South America (after Maracaibo). It covers some 8,300 square km and extends in a northwest-to-southeast direction for a distance of 190 km. It is 80 km across at its widest point.
The lake averages between 140 and 180 meters in depth, but the bottom tilts sharply toward the Bolivian shore, reaching its greatest recorded depth of 280 meters off Isla Soto in the lake’s northeast corner.
More than 25 rivers empty their waters into Titicaca; the largest, the Ramis, draining about two-fifths of the entire Titicaca Basin, enters the northwestern corner of the lake. One small river, the Desaguadero, drains the lake at its southern end. This single outlet empties only 5 percent of the lake’s excess water; the rest is lost by evaporation under the fierce sun and strong winds of the dry Altiplano.

A shot I took on a storm chase last summer and finally got around to processing it...
This is Lake George, an ancient lake, believed to be more than a million years old.
Originally, small streams drained its catchment into the Yass River, but then the Lake George Escarpment rose due to major crustal movement along a strong fault line, blocking this drainage and forming the lake. Lake George has in previous Ice Ages been much larger and deeper.
Currently, the lake is dry and has been for many years... I cant imagine what it would look like full of water and life...

Another b&w... Things are getting BETTER and BETTER!!! I'm busier than I've been in these late weeks,
I got some difficult and interesting assignments and sometimes it's hard to make everything work together.
I'll keep you updated.
I'll be posting some shots I got at the party where I worked at on tuesday. Pretty satisfied with them.
The shot
I saw this boat, I placed the tripod and shot. Composition isn't perfect, but I still like it.
The Processing
I processed it as a color image, but, when I finished my work, I converted to b&w and decided to keep it that way.
Photoshop:
- Switched to LAB mode and applied two curves to improve contrast and tones
- Back to RGB, added a vibrance layer to boost up minor tones
- Created two Overlay layers to adjust light
- Used color balance tool to improve colors
- Converted to Black and White
- Resized
- Noise reduction with Neat Image
- Sharpening (Smart Sharpen + more accurate)
- Framing and signature.
Take a look at it, LARGE on Black :
@ You all
Comments, faves and critiques are always welcomed!

Well, as I said yesterday I went to the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary in Stonham Barns, Suffolk, England ~ See here ~ www.the-owl-barn.com/bbop/index.html ~ ...the weather was bobbins....alright it didn't rain, but it was dull and grey, which made this type of photography even harder then normal..:(
99% of the images I captured were blurry and will never see the light of day, this image is OK...but with better light it could have been soooooooooo much better, perhaps I'm just a perfectionist lol..:)
They flew several raptors whilst I was there, including Barn, European Eagle and Great Grey Owls...and had the weather been better I'd have got some world class shots...cause after the show...when everybody had gone...the handlers came back and exercised some more of the raptors, I captured an Owl flying over my head...It's wings brushed my head as it flew passed...but because of the lack of light the images were rubbish...:(
Oh well....I shall be going back again when the weather is better, seeing as it's only 27 miles from my house in Colchester..:)
They have photography days as well...so I may go on one of those too...:)
Anyhoo the long four day weekend is now over and it's back to work again with a bang...it's all down hill now till the next Bank Holiday which is May day...so I'm counting down the days..:)
Well, I hope you are all enjoying the beginning of the week, whatever you may be doing...:)
Whiteface Mountain is the fifth-highest mountain in the U.S. state of New York, and one of the High Peaks of the Adirondack Mountains. Set apart from most of the other High Peaks, the summit offers a 360-degree view of the Adirondacks and clear-day glimpses of Vermont and even Canada, where the skyscrapers of Montreal, 80 miles (130 km) away, can be seen on a very clear day. Located in the town of Wilmington, about 13 miles (21 km) from Lake Placid, the mountain's east slope is home to a major ski area which hosted the alpine skiing competitions of the 1980 Winter Olympics. Unique among the High Peaks, Whiteface features a developed summit and seasonal accessibility by motor vehicle. Whiteface Memorial Highway reaches a parking area at an elevation of 4,600 feet (1,400 m), with the remaining 267 feet (81 m) being obtained by tunnel and elevator.
Conceived and initiated prior to the Great Depression, Whiteface Castle and the Whiteface Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway were funded entirely by the state of New York, though the timing of the project led to a widespread belief that they were Depression-era public works projects arising from the New Deal

Tarpon Springs is a city in Pinellas County, Florida, United States. The population was 23,484 at the 2010 census. Tarpon Springs has the highest percentage of Greek Americans of any city in the US. Downtown Tarpon Springs has long been a focal point and is currently undergoing beautification.
The region, with a series of bayous feeding into the Gulf of Mexico, was first settled by white and black farmers and fishermen around 1876. Some of the newly arrived visitors spotted tarpon jumping out of the waters and so named the location Tarpon Springs. The name is said to have originated with a remark of Mrs. Ormond Boyer, an early settler from South Carolina, and who, while standing on the shore of the Bayou and seeing fish leaping exclaimed, "See the tarpon spring!' However, for the most part, the fish seen splashing here were mullets rather than tarpon. In 1882, Hamilton Disston, who in the previous year had purchased the land where the city of Tarpon Springs now stands, ordered the creation of a town plan for the future city.
On February 12, 1887, Tarpon Springs became the first incorporated city in what is now Pinellas County. Less than a year later on January 13, 1888, the Orange Belt Railway, the first railroad line to be built in what is now Pinellas County, arrived in the city. During this time the area was developed as a wintering spot for wealthy northerners.
In the 1880s, John K. Cheyney founded the first local sponge business. The industry continued to grow in the 1890s. Many people from Key West and the Bahamas settled in Tarpon Springs to hook sponges and then process them. A few Greek immigrants also arrived in this city during the 1890s to work in the sponge industry.
In 1905, John Cocoris introduced the technique of sponge diving to Tarpon Springs by recruiting divers and crew members from Greece. The first divers came from the Saronic Gulf islands of Aegina and Hydra, but they were soon outnumbered by those from the Dodecanese islands of Kalymnos, Symi, and Halki. The sponge industry soon became one of the leading maritime industries in Florida and the most important business in Tarpon Springs, generating millions of dollars a year. The 1953 film Beneath the 12-Mile Reef, depicting the sponge industry, takes place and was filmed in Tarpon Springs.
In 1947, red tide algae bloom wiped out the sponge fields in the Gulf of Mexico, causing many of the sponge boats and divers to switch to shrimping for their livelihood, while others left the business. Eventually, the sponges recovered, allowing for a smaller but consistent sponge industry today. In the 1980s, the sponge business experienced a boom due to a sponge disease that killed the Mediterranean sponges. Today there is still a small active sponge industry. Visitors can often view sponge fishermen working at the Sponge Docks on Dodecanese Boulevard. In addition, visitors can enjoy shops, restaurants, and museum exhibits that detail Tarpon Springs' Greek heritage.
In 2007 and 2008, the City of Tarpon Springs established Sister City relationships with Kalymnos, Halki, Symi, and Larnaca, Cyprus, honoring the close historical link with these Greek-speaking islands.
There are several districts or properties in Tarpon Springs that have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places:
Tarpon Springs Greektown Historic District
Tarpon Springs Historic District
Arcade Hotel
Old Tarpon Springs City Hall
Old Tarpon Springs High School
Safford House

The Humber Bridge by night, crossing eastern England's Humber Estuary between Barton-upon-Humber on the south bank and Hessle, Kingston-upon-Hull, on the north bank.
Built between 1972 and 1981, with a total length of 2220 metres (7283 feet), this was the longest single-span suspension bridge in the world for 16 years. It lost this crown in June 1997 and is now the fifth longest on the planet, but still holds the record for the UK. There is enough wire in the suspension cables to circle the earth nearly twice.
Taken from the south shore at Barton-on-Humber, Lincolnshire, England on April 23, 2013.
