Still adding to my "People" highlights over on Instagram... maybe adding 10 or so a day to fill it up with my favorite people shots. Instagram highlights are great, but you don't get to hear any of the stories about these people... that's one of the multitude things I don't like about Insta... it's a bit OVERLY visual. Anyway, as for this dude, he was a Berber gentleman I met in Chefchaoen. Before I went there, I mistakenly assumed they were a sect of Islam. Well, I was totally wrong about that! Anyway, we spent the day together while he told me all about the Berbers... and he even gave me a knife and showed me how to get water out of a camel without hurting it (too much). I mean, I don't know how a camel feels pain, but he patted me on the shoulder and said, don't worry, don't worry. The water was pretty good, but it tasted a bit... hmmm, how do you say it... camelly?
Another shot from Saturday morning. Again at Lake Ogwen looking back towards the west. The dark clouds created some very dark shadows and the gaps in the clouds allowed the sun to shine down on the mountains to create a dramatic contrast change. Combine that with a 51 second exposure with the 10 stopper again and you have this pic :-).
Memorable Highlight.
I've always been fascinated by the big cats, and when the opportunity presented itself, I captured as many frames as possible. The leopard was quite calm and relaxed, before he vanished into the bush.

Ich bin zurück aus Hannover und die Herrenhäuser Gärten haben mir am besten gefallen.
Galeriegebäude
Die Galerie wurde zwischen 1694 und 1698 von Brand Westermann erbaut.
Ursprünglich sah der Plan ein lang gestrecktes Gebäude mit zwei pavillonartigen Flügeln vor. Den Mittelbau sollte ein 200 Fuß langer Orangeriesaal zur Überwinterung der Pflanzen einnehmen. Noch während der Bauarbeiten regte Kurfürstin Sophie an, den Zweck des Gebäudes so zu erweitern, dass der große Saal zugleich als Festsaal und die Flügelbauten auch zum Wohnen genutzt werden können.
I am back from Hanover and these Herrenhausen Gardens impressed me most.
Gallery building
The gallery was built in 1694-1698 by Brand Westermann.
Originally, the plan was a long building with two pavilion-like wings. The central block should take a 200 feet long Orangerie room for overwintering plants. Even during construction suggested Princess Sophie to broaden the purpose of the building so that the large hall can be used as a banquet hall and the wings also to live at the same time.
Tower number one of the "highlight" munich. It was a little dark this day and the reflections did not realy came out. Love the see the blue on the glass is much clearer than it was in the sky.
Yesterday morning I set out hoping to find some buck in the rut. While I did indeed stumble across a few (including that one that ran across the road in front of my car), I didn't really have any opportunity to photograph any of them. They were all very focused on...finding love...
Right around sunrise, however, I did manage to find this grazing Doe. She posed nicely for me right against the backdrop of the dramatic sunrise. The light was still very low and I was shooting some pretty difficult settings, handheld, but I think this ended up turning out pretty interestingly, giving her an almost laser-like outline.

Quite a good year for invertebrate photography, though there were several reminders that insect populations are changing and many are suffering serious losses.
A good contemplation corner. as you listen to the water coming down under the bridge and to the left in the gorge the River South Esk.
These are tiny screws laid on a mirror. They were taken in natural light using Z6ii + 105mm macro lens. An LED light was used for highlights. The total width is about 1.5 inches.
I’d wanted to visit Scilly for a while for the chance to add the large shearwaters to my Birds of Britain album, but family commitments have previously prevented a selfish trip in August. This year however, I had the opportunity to visit Scilly over the August Bank Holiday. It was well worth the wait.
Across 4 pelagic trips, I saw and photographed an astonishing range of marine wildlife, including five shearwater species, and all in largely idyllic conditions. The absolute star however was this stunning Cory’s Shearwater that performed brilliantly beside the boat and without any doubt was my Bird of the Year. My Scilly album can be seen here.

An image from last Year out looking for highlights and contrasts under the canopy. On many visits to woodland I find myself fighting the intense contrasts of light but on this day clearing mist helped soften this capture.
