Doesn't it look like the calm water is at the same level as the open ocean? Okay, well it is, but this scene did remind me of an infinity pool. No HDR.

A very low tide on this morning created a still pool that extended out to the breakers. Every minute or so, waves would interrupt the stillness and then things would eventually become still again. I waited for a time where I would get 30 seconds of stillness. The extra long exposure made things look even more still, and was made possible by a very dark circular filter. The clouds moved a lot during the 30 seconds. I made sure to include some solid sand and some offshore rocks and islands to anchor the image somewhat to reality!
I will admit that it took about 20 minutes to get this image. It seemed like every time the pool was nearly calm, another wave would mess things up. I was starting to worry because the tide was rising and the calm periods were getting shorter and shorter. After this, the ocean moved in for good and that was it. The next morning the tide was too high to get this shot.
The map shows exactly where this is.

Single exposure shot from the Marriott Harbour Hotel, Dubai Marina. As a recent convert to the A7r I must say I'm very impressed with the dynamic range and being able to pull this off with a single exposure. I think I will do this again with a night to day transition soon.

A mono rework of an old favourite, the Infinity Bridge in Stockton.
Picture by Steven Iceton of www.steveniceton.co.uk
The Infinity Bridge is a public pedestrian and cycle footbridge across the River Tees in the borough of Stockton-on-Tees in the north east of England. The bridge is situated one kilometre downriver of Stockton town centre, between the Princess of Wales Bridge and the Tees Barrage and it links the Teesdale Business Park and the University of Durham's Queen's Campus in Thornaby-on-Tees on the south bank of the Tees with the Tees Valley Regeneration's £320 million North Shore development on the north bank.
Built at a cost of £15 million with funding from Stockton Borough Council, English Partnerships and its successor body the Homes and Communities Agency, One NorthEast, and the European Regional Development Fund the bridge is a major part of the North Shore Redevelopment Project undertaken by Tees Valley Regeneration.
The bridge had the project title North Shore Footbridge before being given its official name Infinity Bridge, chosen by a panel made from the funding bodies, using names suggested by the public. The name derives from the infinity symbol formed by the bridge and its reflection.
A special feature is made of the way the bridge is lit at night. This lighting scheme was designed by Speirs and Major Associates who also designed the lighting for the Burj Al-Arab. At night the bridge handrail and footway are lit with designer blue and white LED lighting built into the handrail that changes colour as users cross. Attached to the steel cable ties are white metal-halide up-lighters to illuminate the white painted bridge arches, and blue LED down-lighters to illuminate the water and ground surfaces immediately below the deck.At night from certain viewing angles when the river surface is flat calm, the twin arches together with their reflection in the river appear as an infinity symbol ∞, and it is this effect that inspired its name.
At the start of construction a temporary jetty was built on the south bank to enable the building of a cofferdam for the safe construction of the central pier. In April 2008 the supporting legs were added to the central pier.Steel falsework was constructed in the cofferdam by Dorman Long[ to support the ends of both incomplete arches as they cantilevered over the river during construction. The first steel arch made from four pieces of fabricated steel welded together, was put in place in June 2008 and was later used to stabilise the cantilevering lower portions of the main arch using a strand-jack and tie cable between the top of the small arch and the large arch and then to reduce sway stress during its progressive construction of the large arch.
The final section of the main arch came in four pieces which were welded together on site and on 5 September 2008 all 170 tonnes of it was lifted into place by a 1,500 tonne mobile crane, the largest in the country. The crane, a Gottwald AK680 owned by Sarens UK is based in nearby Middlesbrough. The crane is 80 metres (262 ft) high with a maximum of 1200 tonnes of superlift, requires 45 transport wagons to move it,and takes three days to set up using a 100 tonne crane.
The concrete deck panels were cast on site using three steel moulds in temporary sheds in a construction compound on the north bank of the river. Using a short temporary jetty on the north bank the deck panels were floated out on a small barge and jacked into position working progressively away from the river pier. The concrete deck sections are held together by steel welds and adhesive.
The footbridge was completed on time and to budget in December 2008 with 530 workers and uses in total some 450 tonnes of Corus steel,1.5 km of locked coil steel cable, 780 lights, 5,472 bolts and weighs 1040 tons. Almost all labour, materials and components were sourced locally.
The bridge was officially opened on 14 May 2009 with celebrations including a sound, light and animation show, parkour freerunners who climbed the bridge arches with flares, and a specially composed music track and synchronised pyrotechnics from the bridge itself with big screens for the estimated audience of 20,000 spectators along the banks. The bridge was opened to the public two days later. Foot traffic is anticipated to rise to some four thousand people a day as the North Shore site develops.
The bridge won the Institution of Structural Engineers' Supreme Award for Structural Excellence 2009,] the premier structural engineering award in the UK. It also won in its own category of Pedestrian Bridges. The other awards the bridge has won include the Structural Steel Design Award 2010,] the Concrete Society Civil Engineering Award 2009, the ICE Robert Stephenson Award 2009, the North East Constructing Excellence Awards 'Project of the Year',and the Green Apple Award for the environment.
52 Weeks: The 2021 Edition Theme: Infinity
Week 9/52
I tried a number of ways to do infinity. I wanted to do it landscape as I prefer 16x9 photos. I tried different lenses and focal lengths - I like 18mm best. I then tried having the camera low down, high up and in the middle - high up was best. I also tried varying the the foreground - jetty plus/minus reeds and open water. The other thing I tried was open sky vs trees above. This is the one I settled on.
The houses seem to go on into infinity here...
The weather has been beautiful here. Today it was seventy, but going to be a cold sixty-three tomorrow. Not too long until the Oscar party this week-end and I still haven't made up my mind who to go as...
This week I saw American Sniper -- I thought it was just ok. I am going to try and see Still Alice this week...
Hope you all are well!
“...it's very much like your trying to reach infinity. You know that it's there, you just don't know where-but just because you can never reach it doesn't mean that it's not worth looking for.”
― Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth
I was lucky to have the bird flying close as they normally do, but I was mostly suprised how well my 50mm performed with this! I was just really experimenting a little with the lens and then with the processing I had in mind!
This was also shot at st stephens green park in dublin city! If ever you see a mad man with a camera, that will most definitely/probably be me.... I love this park and can never get enough of it whenever I am in dublin city :)
Thank you for looking!

Spent two evenings at this club..called Club Mar Vista, in the mountains near to Flamingo beach in Costa Rica...even went swimming there before our meal
