The Milky Way streaks through the sky and makes a visual impact with a Pinnacle at Trona.
This is a single exposure taken during the new moon using "Low Level Lighting". I'm not sure why I liked this one, maybe it's the way the outer pinnacles lean in, so I bailed on the lens correction during the processing phase, and because of this it seemed as if the impact was wrapping the surface of the planet around the "Visual Impact".
For more information about the LLL technique(LowLevelLighting) you can visit lowlevellighting.org
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great week ahead my friends!! :)

Gannet - Morus Bassanus
Bempton Cliffs
The gannets are large white birds with yellowish heads; black-tipped wings; and long bills. Northern gannets are the largest seabirds in the North Atlantic, having a wingspan of up to 2 metres (6.6 ft). The other two species occur in the temperate seas around southern Africa, southern Australia and New Zealand.
Gannets hunt fish by diving into the sea from a height and pursuing their prey underwater. Gannets have a number of adaptations which enable them to do this:
no external nostrils, they are located inside the mouth instead;
air sacs in the face and chest under the skin which act like bubble wrapping, cushioning the impact with the water;
positioning of the eyes far enough forward on the face for binocular vision, allowing them to judge distances accurately.
Gannets can dive from a height of 30 metres (98 ft), achieving speeds of 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) as they strike the water, enabling them to catch fish much deeper than most airborne birds.
The gannet's supposed capacity for eating large quantities of fish has led to gannet becoming a description of somebody with a voracious appetite.
Gannets are colonial breeders on islands and coasts, normally laying one chalky, blue egg. Gannets lack brood patches and they use their webbed feet to warm the eggs. It takes five years for gannets to reach maturity. First-year birds are completely black, and subsequent sub-adult plumages show increasing amounts of white.
The most important nesting ground for northern gannets is the United Kingdom with about two thirds of the world's population. These live mainly in Scotland, including the Shetland Isles. The rest of the world's population is divided between Canada, Ireland, Faroe Islands and Iceland, with small numbers in France (they are often seen in the Bay of Biscay), the Channel Islands, Norway and a single colony in Germany on Heligoland. The biggest northern gannet colony is on Scotland's Bass Rock; in 2014, this colony contained some 75,000 pairs. Sulasgeir off the coast of the Isle of Lewis, St. Kilda, Grassholm in Pembrokeshire, Bempton Cliffs in the East Riding of Yorkshire, Sceilig Bheag, Ireland and Bonaventure Island, Quebec are also important northern gannet breeding sites.
Young gannets were historically used as a food source, a tradition still practised in Ness, Scotland, where they are called guga. Like examples of continued traditional whale harvesting, the modern day hunting of gannet chicks results in great controversies as to whether it should continue to be afforded exemption from the ordinary protection afforded to sea birds in UK and EU law". The Ness hunt is currently limited to 2,000 chicks per year, and dates back at least to the Iron Age. The hunt is considered to be sustainable, as between 1902 and 2003 Gannet numbers in Scotland increased dramatically from 30,000 to 180,000.

Peter and I went up to Tate Modern after coffee on Sunday and had a picnic lunch in the sun by the Millennium Bridge. The bridge was packed and there were many people milling about on the south bank, but the Klee exhibition, although busy, was relaxed and it was easy to see the works.
A breaking wave explodes on the cliff faces of one of the world's highest impact zones, in South Africa's Cape Peninsula. Freak waves occur randomly, but my patience was duly rewarded and the wave came straight at my camera, exploding at least 5 m above sea level!
The values of the sky are inverted, showing the Milky Way transformed into billion kinetic lava droplets.

Longships Lighthouse is an active 19th-century lighthouse about 1.25 mi (2.0 km) off the coast of Land's End in Cornwall, England. It is the second lighthouse to be built on Carn Bras, the highest of the Longships islets which rises 39 feet (12 m) above high water level. In 1988 the lighthouse was automated, and the keepers withdrawn. It is now remotely monitored from the Trinity House Operations & Planning Centre in Harwich, Essex.
Good to put the long lens to use and catch up with Dom Haughton...
Thanks very much for viewing and have a great weekend :)
I've always thought of successful landscape photography as the intersection of chance and preparedness. You can prepare as much as you like, but you can't control the conditions on a given day.
This was the last morning of our Alberta trip. My friends and I got up kinda late and didn't really want to venture too far for a day where we'd be later traveling to our respective homes. And to add to that, the weather forecasts didn't look great either. We assumed we'd be looking for intimate scenes in the ice, if that. As expected, the morning was completely overcast - we couldn't even see some of the mountains. We walked out along the lake and spread out looking for interesting ice. The lake wasn't as clear as I'd have liked, and it began to snow very lightly. Gradually, we all seemed to come to the conclusion that this morning was going to be a miss. Chance did not appear to be on hour side.
After packing up, the three of us started to gradually make our way back to the car, but extra slowly; as if still holding hope for a miracle. Out of nowhere, the cloud began to break around only part of this mountain - slightly showing its ridges through the falling snow and cloud. Immediately, compositions started jumping out of everywhere. The three of us scattered like frightened cats. I started frantically searching for cracks or other features in the ice before the snow covered it up! I managed to find this crack just as the ridges of the mountain became very prominent, and in the end I felt that the bit of snow that had already accumulated actually added to the scene. Before long, the crack wasn't really visible any more, but thankfully I managed to get this shot before the scene fell apart.
Anyway, it just goes to show you that sometimes taking your sweet time giving up on a scene can pay off!
Thanks for reading!

The Osprey was searching the small lake for an easy meal. Even after this attempt the Opsrey circled a few more times and was a repeat visitor over serveral days.
What a difference a change of colour can make. This is a Mono conversion of my last post. Think it turned out quite dramatic.
This is a very long exposure of 601 secs, using a Lee Big Stopper together with a Little Stopper.

An image that represents all the weather we were experiencing, wind, hail storms, rain, sunshine and even a rainbow.
Having been in Porthcawl a few weeks earlier for the visit of Storm Ciara and the drama of those massive waves crashing into the lighthouse, this in its own way was equally dramatic.
