This photo is all about exposure – timing was critical to capture the two sailing ships between the piers ( a combination of luck and visually seeing what I wanted). Next to get the smooth water on a day when the water was choppy, meant a long 30 second exposure. If it was all one photo – the sailing ships would be a blur if anything.
This is two separate shots, one for the sailing ships and one for the water and rest of the scene.
Daily Dog Challenge: Mission Impossible ... at least hopefully, now ... last time Brian visited, he & Etta got out this gate and into the bigger yard. Then they couldn't get back so they did a lot of barking while we were out ... caused some trouble with a neighbour! We've added the old dog collar so even if they push the latch open the gate won't swing far enough for even Brian to squeeze out.
Wild colors, pristinely clear water and shallows filled with giant stone can wreak havoc with depth perception along this special stretch of Superior. A walk along the edge without imagining the clusters of submerged boulders as beautifully preserved dinosaur eggs is near impossible.

The photo was taken using an external flash triggered remotely and manually configured to 1/32.

This image of what, at first sight, appears to be a leafy pathway through a hedge, was created by splicing together a picture of a fence in Linn Park in Glasgow with its mirror image.
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
I will not be another flower, picked for my beauty and left to die.
I will be wild, difficult to find, and impossible to forget.

I can't remember what these things are, besides sharp. I think they look better "dead" than blooming though. Happy Sunday all.

Day started out Sunny and not too hot, so the camera and I went out to work. By the time the clouds had rolled in and the wind picked up I had shot 750 images. When I got home I started the process of winnowing out the duds. As soon as I found this shot, I HAD to get it uploaded right away. Sometimes a photograph just grabs you, and this one did me.
Hope you like it too.

Nikon D7000. Tamron 180mm Macro. 1/1250th @ F/11. EV = -2/3. ISO 500. WB = sun. Shutter Priority. Multi-point AF. Photographed June 13, 2011
"remember how it used to be
when the sun would fill up the sky
remember how we used to feel
those days would never end
those days would never end
remember how it used to be
when the stars would fill the sky
remember how we used to dream
those nights would never end
those nights would never end
it was the sweetness of your skin
it was the hope of all we might have been
that fills me with the hope to wish
impossible things
but now the sun shines cold
and all the sky is grey
the stars are dimmed by clouds and tears
and all i wish
is gone away
all i wish
is gone away
all i wish
is gone away"
