Tarn Hows on Tuesday evening. There wasn't a huge amount of great light about, but a bit of colour started to creep into the sky late on.
I went for a long exposure to try to get a bit of drama in the shot but I'm not sure how I feel about it. I think the dynamism of the sky might be at odds with the serenity of the rest of the scene. Or maybe I'm over thinking it!
I have the hardest time getting up on Thursday. Hopefully this pic will make it all easier. Have a great day!!
PS. San Francsico bokeh :-D
How quickly skylines change in Miami! Compared to the photo* I took a year ago (below, from the same vantage point), this one shows more buildings (but less lights), and some familiar landmarks seem to have disappeared (or are now behind new buildings). :(
Note: Not an HDR shot. :p

I just missed a little light as I arrived and tried to park at the incredibly busy Tarn Hows. Though the overcast conditions, to me, felt very Turner-esque.
This is one of the cats staying around me at my room in Santorini. She was so friendly and had a very sweet voice. I wonder how she and the other cats are doing... I miss them a lot!!!
I heard Greece is a cat paradise and you see a lot cats around, but in fact it was a country of dogs;D I was surprised to see so many BIG dogs wandering about here and there. They were also friendly, though they made some fights among them, and followed me for some foods. I guess it made cats away from me and I couldn't take as many photos as I had expected:((
Hey team how are we all doing?
It be throwback Thursday today and I've finally finished processing a photo taken 2 weeks ago from my trip to Sydney and the Blue Mountains.
Renown for its unique architecture this crazy critter being the Sydney Opera House continues to fascinate and inspire architects all around the world, or so I'm led to believe. This photo was shot from the Milson's Point side with a 70-300mm telephoto lens on a dodgy tripod.
The processing was done like this; firstly the photo was taken into Lightroom where the massively blinding highlights and whites were dulled down. The shadows were raised up a tad too as some parts of the photo were too dark. Then I played around with the colours using the HSL panel until I got the feel that I liked. I aimed to contrast the bluish sky with the orangey/yellow lights inside the building. I cropped the image and fixed up the horizon to make it straight. I then brought the photo into Photoshop and did some noise reduction using Imagenomic's Noiseware Professional software. Finally I cleaned off the image by using a combination of the clone stamp tool, spot healing brush and the brush tool. The most challenging part of this process was to get the image right in camera with the nasty gale forced winds of that night.
Hope you enjoy this one, and as always feel free to use this image in your videos, your website, you blog, print it out, remix it or do whatever you wish with it as per the CC licence.
All the best my people, don't stop shooting.
I wanted to share a little bit about my thought process when creating a photo, so here it is on my blog
For Michelle. Thank you for everything.
And now, I'm off to pick up a tutu that my good friend made for me from scratch, play in the mud, and act like a ballerina.

At the exhibition New Wild Painters (Neue Wilde) in Groninger Museum, Groningen, Holland.
New Wild Painters presents an overview of the figurative painting of the early 1980s in West Germany. Young, ‘wild’ painters rebelled against the abstract art at that time.
We passed these old farm buildings every day on the way to the rental house - fence falling down, holes in the roofs, windows boarded up, and a relatively new looking truck parked in the driveway. Somehow even in disrepair it looked magical (and definitely Halloween worthy) But all I could hear in my head was a song my mom used to sing - How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm
After they've seen Paree'
After eight days on the road, I cross from Nevada into California.
Somewhere up in the clouds there is Boundary Peak, 13,000 feet tall; the shoulder of US 6 where I’m standing for this photo is only about 6,500 feet above sea level.
I was meant to be meeting (well possibly) Jim,Simon and Iain at Brothers Water this morning but as fate would have it i got a bit sidetracked on the way there.I was less than 10 minutes drive away when i just had to stop on the shoreline of Ullswater.It was still quite dark but the distant snow topped peaks stood out like a row of lighthouse's and it was a scene i just had to try and capture.
This was the view looking from Glencoyne across Ullswater and down into the Patterdale valley with the sun hiding somewhere behind the fell to the left.The sky was once again cloudless,but at least it had a pinkish glow to add a touch of colour to the early morning.
Im sorry i missed you guys if you were further up the road but you will know there ain't no mobile signal up them parts so i couldn't even ring you :(
If you did go i hope you got some great shots and i'll catch up with you's in the Ramble group later today.
I hope everyone has a great weekend :)

Beautiful beach with an original form of entry - a stone passage that takes you to the beach.
"To access Carvalho beach you need to walk through a man-made tunnel in the rocks. In this tunnel you can see several fossils. This is the only way to access the beach. The whole experience of the tunnel adds to the awesomeness of Praia do Carvalho."

Beautiful but cold and windy morning at the top.
I made this image as a simple hi-key multiple-exposure image of the dark claw scars on the thin white bark. What blew me away was the way that the *action* or process of the attack is depicted here, with the bark flying, dark particles trailing . . . very long after that totally unseen action had occurred. We see here a representation of actions which in fact the camera never did see.
How did that happen? Somehow it was created by the ME and ICM, totally in-camera, with sharpening and balancing in simple Lightroom. Somehow the unseen and un-photographed became depicted in this image.
