This was my 1st attempt of photographing the lake. The water level can change and the dead trees can be more submerged on a different day. I watched the direction and speed of the clouds as they passed over, waiting for a stormy dark sky. The tripod legs were firmly pushed deep into the mud as I stood in my wellies. The slow shutter speed I chose gave the effect of blurring and blending the clouds which reflected nicely on the water.
The scene almost looks haunting.
A random decision to go for a late afternoon walk from Watendlath carpark in gloomy conditions seemed a good idea. We followed a footpath over the packhorse bridge, through a mwah mwah gate, passed the tiny fishing tarn and up a steep rough crumbly track. My heart was pumping but was sure to pace myself as we headed up as high as we could determined to find a high vantage point. There was no decent light but what a fantastic view to take in.
I was surprised to find these clumps of orange tussock grass that looked quite oriental.
Starting to panick a little with the diminishing light we headed down carefully and followed our steps arriving back at the car in the dark. I thought to myself ‘My dogs are barking’ but we did trek across rough terrain for a couple of hours!
This endeavour was only something I dreamed about a few years ago.
The strange column of rocks resembling a person stands proudly
looking towards misty Gripdon Down. The sun had risen behind me casting warm soft light through the mist over Bowermans Nose.
Hey… I'm back! I know it's been a while since my last work. The last couple of months have been a whirlwind of training and hiking in preparation to climb the Mountaineer's Route on Mount Whitney, the tallest mountain in the continental United States at 14,508 ft. (4511.65 m). Well, that was a hard-earned and worthwhile success.
Now it's back to photography, and to start things off, I drove the 3.5 hours back up to Whitney Portal road and the Alabama Hills. We'd driven right by this place on our way to and from Whitney, and it reminded me of how much I loved the area. I arrived around 4pm, and spent the afternoon scouting compositions around the hills, driving my poor car up and down all the nasty washboard dirt roads there!
By nightfall, I was filthy, freezing, and sore. (I hadn't really had time to recover from that climb yet and still had sunburn and some exposure damage.) To be honest, all I wanted to do was drive home and get a hot shower and go to sleep. But I decided to stick it out for the night. I only rested in 70 minute naps all night, trekking back out across the desert to my camera to restart the intervalometer and composition between exposures. I'm glad I stayed!
This exposure contains a total of 71 minutes of exposure time. There are 14 x 5 minute exposures on the intervalometer for the star trails (to at least partially mitigate sensor overheat issues), followed by two light paintings with my LED headlamp at 30 seconds each. The first 30 second exposure was with a white LED, and the second was with a red one.
Then I blended the 14 star trail exposures in post to reunite them, eliminating the satellite & jet trails in the process, and then merged in the two light paintings on top at around half opacity each to create a more pleasing middle orange tone than either the bright red or bright white could provide. I hope you enjoy the result!
Long Exposure giving the water a very interesting look, especially how the colour of the water blends
Aysgarth Falls is an impressive stretch of the River Ure in mid Wensleydale. The Ure passes over 3 ‘ledges’ and certainly, when I took the walk after a period of heavy rain, Aysgarth Falls looks mighty impressive and very powerful. Powerful water is great to look at, almost mesmeric, and I believe this is the best place in the Yorkshire Dales to enjoy this. Viewing platforms are ok but I enjoy getting as close to the water as possible and there is a stretch of rock below the lower falls where anyone can sit right on the water’s edge.
A fairly hard hike up tp this glacier, here around 2500m altitude, up the glacial valley from La Fouly, Switzerland.
I couldn't carry all my camera gear on this hike, so, only a lightweight tripod, one lens and no filters. When I reached this spot, I wanted to portray the slow movement of the glacial ice with a long exposure of the clouds but with no filters this was impossible. I framed up the shot and set an intervalometer so the camera would take a shot every 5 seconds for about 10 minutes. I left it be and I ended up with 103 individual images with I then blended, end result is equivalant to a few minutes exposure.

Traditional stooks made up of 4 to 6 binds of sheaves cleverly stacked to dry out quickly and keep the moisture out for harvesting.
These particular stooks will be gathered up manually by well organised hard working Polish teams ready for the threshing operation which separates the straw from the grains. It’s generally used for animal food, bedding and sometimes roof thatching.
This was a first for me seeing the Devonshire stooks.

The River Arts District consists of a vast array of artists and working studios in 22 former industrial and historical buildings spread out along a one mile stretch of the French Broad River. This eclectic area is an exciting exploration of arts, food and exercise. Plan on spending a day or more visiting artists working in their studios, grabbing a bite of local cuisine or a brew and taking time to find art that’s perfect for your world.
More than 200 artists work in paint, pencil, pottery, metal, fiber, glass, wax, paper and more. As unique and individual as their art, so too are their schedules. There are no official “Open Hours” for the River Arts District, but at any given time throughout the year, you will find a plethora of open studios and galleries. If you are coming to see someone in particular, your best bet is to check in with them before your visit. Do it here, online via our search feature, or check the Studio Guide.

I used an intervalometer to capture a photo every second during the launch. At this point Orion had just risen its own length in just over 3 seconds, and with 2.5 million pounds of thrust, it was accelerating fast!
The plan was to catch a rainbow looking out to sea from a beach!
On arrival at 06.15 it was dark and quite breezy with low cloud in the east obscuring the sun at first. An hour later the dunes and fence lit up beautifully. I wasn’t completely happy with a part rainbow because I imagined a full bow over Thurlestone rock. I set up in another spot and waited about another hour.
The skies turned dark grey and stormy out to sea and the sun had gone in behind me. The wind spookily picked up, the hail pelted down so I covered up QuickTime . The force of the random gale literally blew me backwards and my tripod off the ground. It lasted for several minutes so I decided that was it for me. Extremely soaked and so cold from the high speed hail I gave up and headed back to the car for a hot flask of tea to warm up. I never got my full rainbow over the sea this time!
Wonderful mossy velvety green tree limbs on a misty morning on Dartmoor. One of them resembling an elbow! Stay safe, keep bumping! 😉
Mothecombe is local to me yet not many photographers go there.
The other day I was lucky to experience a beautifully peaceful paw-print free pastel sunrise at low tide.

It’s a shame the old weathered jetty on the east side of the lake at Barrow Bay has been replaced with this fresh timber one. It was en route to another location so worth a visit to try a long exposure image which seems to suit it.
For this simple classic composition I preferred gapping between each post and also water between the end of the jetty and land in the distance. The camera had to be positioned parallel to ground level using a wide angle lens to prevent distortion and leaning of the uprights
This is currently my desktop background - it looks great large.
I've started playing with CHDK, the Canon Hacker's Development Kit, after reading this Wired article:
howto.wired.com/wiki/Supercharge_Your_Camera_with_Open-So...
I'm using a Canon SD1000, a nice little point-and-shoot, and the CHDK alternate firmware plus some long-exposure & intervalometer scripts seem like they will yield some great results for long-exposure time lapses and other things. I have yet to try any super-fast shutter shots, but may do that too.
This is a view looking down Forest Ave in Ypsilanti.
The south east facing distinctive rocks were certainly worth visiting especially with good sized waves crashing in. The strong cross wind blew the 2 metre high splashes sideways preventing them from soaking me and enabling a long exposure shot. I would definitely recommend visiting this location with your camera if you’re exploring the Jurassic coast.

I had the chance to scout around a bit before nightfall to decide where I wanted to shoot star trails in this mystical place. I liked this spot because of the one tall hoodoo almost like a conductor in an amphitheater that curved around it. I began my exposures just as the moon crested the hoodoos on the right and did just a bit of light painting on the center tower that would otherwise stay in shadow.

The walk or should I say scramble across Sheeps Tor in the dark was longer than I thought to this spectacular north westerly viewpoint. I know a better place to park now!
I was hopeful and wanted to see mist over Burrator at first light but that wasn’t going to happen.The conditions were cold and windy in the shade but I decided to hang around for 2 hours until the sun finally rose high enough to light up the hills. Firstly, I appreciated the warmth on my back and then the gorgeous Autumn colours that came to life in the sun.
The image was made of twenty exposures showing the setting of the crescent moon on August 4, 2019. The colorful sky is likely the result of the Raikoke eruption producing an abundance of colorful sunsets. The images were taken with a Canon 80D and a Canon 17-40L lens. An intervalometer was used to take a photo every five minutes.
I was forced to exposure for only 30 seconds because I left my intervalometer home. This 100x30s processed image (Pixinsight and PS CS 6.0) @ iso 1600-29 exp, 2200-21 exp, and 3200-50 exp, Nikkor 180mm ED f/2.8 @ f/2.8, Nikon d7100 was taken during the evening of 8 Oct 18 from Vail, Arizona. Moonless clear skies with excellent transparency resulted in a sharp crisp image. Using AstroTrac x320 unguided mount.
I was quite surprised that this limited exposure and wide open f-stop could produce such a nice rendering of this deep sky object.

A second attempt at a star trail.
This picture was the result of 80 15 second exposure shots which I then combined using a bit of free software called StarStaX. This time I had the camera pointing at the North star is so I got a circular effect
Located between Rosthwaite and Seatoller, now Old Mill Cottage on Coombestone Gill, Borrowdale, Cumbria.
The last day of our holiday in the Lakes and first time it rained with misty conditions. I was elated to find this hidden gem near Borrowdale after much research and studying Google earth.
I had almost memorised this area of the OS map but it was still strange that I seemed to know my way there. We diverted off a footpath, over a gate, through field, another gate, a slight descent and a tight squeeze through a gap between a stone wall and wire fence. It was only a guess that the isolated building I spotted on google earth was going to be the water mill.
The ‘beck’ was flowing well through the valley which is exactly what I was hoping for. The conditions were wonderful with the mist and low cloud beyond the mill on High Buck How. It needed the two of us to get a photo in the continuous rain so we took turns to hold a brolly while the other took photos. It was super slippery underfoot in our wellies and quite precarious clambering on the loose rocks and boulders, sometimes on all fours crab-like. The sound of the fast flowing stream drowned out our voices but it all added to the experience. The soft light seemed to absorb the autumnal tones particularly the vibrant mossy greens. A few fallen amber and auburn leaves were trapped in the pools adding more interest to this seasonal scene.
It was difficult to find much history about this intriguing old mill. It was used to grind corn in the valley for the locals. It is mentioned in a will in 1727 and the wheel probably dates from about 1800. There’s an old millstone being used as a step on the path at the front. At the rear of the building is the wheel where the stream is flowing between fabric textured mossy coated boulders.
“It was wonderful especially with excellent conditions to photograph proving it to be one of the Lakes finest secret locations in my opinion.”
Michael Naimark
See Banff, 1993-94
zoetrope, cabinet, mixed media
See Banff! is an interactive installation based on an Edison kinetoscope, an early form of moving images. On top of the cabinet is a stereoscopic hood for viewing short sequences filmed by Michael Naimark with Gilles Tassé around Banff and rural Alberta in 1993. A hand crank on the side of the cabinet allows the viewer to “roll” the short films forwards or backwards. Next to the viewer is a lever to select one of 14 silent views.
The Edison kinetoscope was introduced to the public in April 1894, and “movies” such as "The Wrestling Dog," "The Boxing Cats," and one about a sneeze were immediate successes. Less than two years later, however, on December 28, 1895, Louis and Auguste Lumiére projected films onto a screen for a paying audience of 33 people. The new medium of the kinetoscope had been replaced by the next new medium of the projected film, although arguably both constitute types of cinema.
Technically the See Banff! films were recorded with two stop-frame 16mm film cameras mounted on a "super jogger" baby carriage. Stereoscopic recording was either triggered by an intervalometer (for timelapse) or by an encoder on one of the carriage wheels (for dollys and moviemaps). Naimark and Tassé made over 100 sequences with this rig. Aesthetically, Naimark relates,
“On the one hand, the sites in the Banff area are monumental in their grace and beauty. Some are sacred. On the other hand, watching the tourists at these sites told a different story. Busses and busses pulled in and out of parking lots seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Tourists would get out - cameras in hand - for twenty minutes, then back on the busses off to another site. Gilles and I agreed that the strength of the footage would lie in counterpointing these two conflicting messages.”
See Banff! was first developed during the Art and Virtual Environments programme here at the Banff Centre, a programme central to the founding of the Banff New Media Institute a year later. Of the 9 projects by 15 artists, in the medium of virtual reality, creating during that residency, only See Banff! has been selected for this exhibition due to its central connection with the place and its clear representation of repurposed formerly new media.
Naimark is a media artist and researcher with over 25 years of experience investigating "place representation." He has worked extensively with field cinematography, interactive systems, and immersive projection. He was instrumental in the founding of several world-renown research labs.
For its presentation here, the artist undertook a substantial upgrade of the programme powering See Banff!, replacing an old Apple IIci computer and large analog laserdisc player with a small compact Mac mini computer with integrated digital video card.

The building is Coed y Celyn Hall on the banks of the Conwy near Betws y Coed. We have been staying in a nice ground floor apartment in this building over Christmas. It was nice not having to stray far for a shoot! I set the intervalometer running and returned inside to watch tv. All I had to do was pop my head out of the door now and then to make sure it wasn't raining.

30 minutes of clouds in 30 seconds. Shot on iPhone 6s using @procamapp intervalometer to take a RAW photo every 1 second, then professed the frames in Lightroom and played back at 60fps. (In retrospect I should maybe have shot every two seconds, since my phone ran out of space right when there were some pretty interesting clouds going by.)
At the end of the day the sky coloured up nicely over the pier.
The wooden sediment controlling groynes had a nice glow from the sun setting behind me.
This was a one minute camera exposure to smooth out the sea and capture and blur the moving clouds. I liked the graduation of colour of orange to blue

🇬🇧 What better thing to do on a Saturday night than spend 6 hours at -2º to take a picture? At the top of the mountain while the wind is blowing at you. The best thing is when you have everything set up, ready to shoot, and your intervalometer crashes… Luckily, my friend Sergio Arias saved me the night by lending me his one 😅
Anyway, my first circumpolar trying to preserve the color of the stars. The next one will definitely be better.

🇪🇸 ¿Qué tienes mejor que hacer un sábado noche que tirarte 6 horas a -2º para sacar una foto? En lo alto de la montaña, mientras te soplan rachas de viento interesantes. Lo mejor es cuando lo tienes todo montado, tiras a disparar y el intervalómetro te casca… Por suerte mi amigo Sergio Arias me salvó la noche dejándome el suyo 😅
En fin, mi primera circumpolar intentando preservar el color de las estrellas. Sin duda la próxima saldrá mejor.

A mighty fine pier indeed!
The tide was low so I decided to attempt the scramble across the rocks towards this tall rock stack to catch the sunset.
On a few occasions I was going to turn back as it became very slippy under foot with all the seaweed. On arrival it was tricky to find a good composition with the clutter of rocks and boulders exposed by the low tide so I would of preferred water around the stack. The diffused sun cast some golden light on the rocks so I managed a few shots as the tide started its way in.
The light level dropped quickly so I heading back across the treacherous rocks. I’m glad I made the effort and it stretched the old legs.
This is a summer shot at high tide with holiday makers all around me. I had been waiting for the bright sun to drop and hit the rocks which it did beautifully. This was a 30 second exposure using a ‘Lee Big Stopper’ and is one of my favourites from the evening
#StarTrails
I thought I would not deliver this one for the 52 week's challenge and here I come with my star trails shot. I waited for many weeks as I needed a place with very low light pollution. Luckily for me, here in Brazil there is none so it was really easy to do this one. The important part here is to compose the picture right, then start taking pictures with an intervalometer and presto!.
This one is done with my Nikon D7000, 18mm, F3.5, ISO1000, 30s exposure. It's 120 stacked frames using StarStax software. I still need to keep trying few more shots and settings as I can see the dots and gaps between shots, even though they were consecutive for an hour. I hope I get better at this and that you like the results.
Thank you all for your appreciation.

This year I was getting married. That's why I decided to pursue a pilgrimage to Meoto Iwa's married rocks.
This place is not straightforward to reach: it took several hours from Osaka, using multiple trains and busses. When I arrived there, it was getting dark and I had just a few minutes to set up the machine, the tripod, the focus, the ND filter, and the intervalometer.
This photo was the second and last take, and I still wonder how those big birds managed to stand still for exactly 2 minutes.
The turning of our earth on its axis–its diurnal rotation, as astronomers call it–is what causes the sun and moon to seem to rise and set each day. This daily movement of our planet has the same effect on how we see the stars. They appear to move across the sky as the night passes. Some of these celestial hosts, called “circumpolar stars”, never disappear behind the horizon, and so appear to scribe complete circles across the heavens.
To show this movement I set up my camera on a tripod and connected an interval timer, aka an “intervalometer”, so that the camera would take a 25-second long exposure, then pause for one second, then take another shot. Rinse and repeat! Over one hour and ten minutes, my camera shot off 155 frames, which I then combined using some free software (called StarStax) to create a single image that conveys the feeling that the stars have moved in circles on the sky.
I took the 155 single frames using a Canon EOS 6D camera, a Samyang 14mm XP lens @ f/2.8, with each frame exposed for 25 seconds @ ISO 1600.
Another new location for 2020, I shot this in February. This was my first time at this location, my second time out at night this year, and my first capture of the return of the Galactic Core for this year. The glow on the horizon is from a few neighboring towns/cities (not the sunrise).
Shot with my Fuji X-H1 and Samyang 16mm f/2.0 @ f/2.0, (5) 15 second shots + (1) dark frame, ISO 3200, 3800K WB. Stacked in Sequator with final edits in Photoshop using a few Topaz plugins and Blake Rudis' 5 Tone Heat Map actions.

So, for the past week there’s been a shot very similar to this circulating on the geek blogosphere, claiming to have been taken with prototype “Google Goggles”. Not having any prototypes hanging around the house, I wanted to see if I could do something along the same lines with my DSLR.
So, I took a few test shots to see what focal length and exposure would be reasonable, adjusted my camera strap so it’d be at about the right height on my body to catch my daughter as we twirled, then threaded some cord through the loop on the quick release plate for my tripod to use to secure the camera tight against my torso. I also used the zoom lock on the lens to lock it at 18mm to prevent creep (that’s the only focal length it locks at, so that was lucky.) My D7000 has a built-in intervalometer, so I set it to start in about 3 minutes, taking 120 shots at 1 second intervals, started the timer, and strapped the camera down as tight as I could. Grabbed my daughter securely (in this shot, she had let go of my forearms), and spun myself around to get her flying. Did that about six times (most exhausting photo shoot I’ve done yet—never got to 120 exposures on any pass—but also a whole lot of fun!), and out of the 200 or so shots I ended up taking, I had three where Thing Two was framed reasonably well and not too blurry. This was the best one.
Boosted vibrance in Aperture, and used smart sharpen in Photoshop just to get Thing Two's face and hair a tiny bit less blurry.

What a contrast between the beautiful mass of pink and purple Opium poppies and the amazing dramatic cloud formation.
Interesting Fact : This type of cloud is called ‘Altostratus Undulatus Asperatus’ and is formed from winds at cloud level causing it to be sheared into wavelike forms known as undulatus.
It’s a navigational aid to guide the ships into the marina entrance in Watchet town, North Somerset.
The16th century built jetty was destroyed by a storm in 1659. When the town became more important, with large ships exporting wool and kelp, a new stronger breakwater was built in1660 followed by the tapered hexagon shaped 6.5m (21 ft) high lighthouse.
UPDATE: Here's the video www.flickr.com/photos/31273322@N03/3355128290/
I'm making a video demonstrating the time-lapse capabilities of the "ultra intervalometer" script for CHDK (CHDK is a "hack" for Canon compact cameras that use the Digic II or Digic III processor, it allows your camera to do anything you can imagine, google it it's awesome). I used a 60-minute kitchen timer to pan the camera. I'll post the video in 20-30 minutes (it's still recording now).
In this picture you can also see the new battery grip I got for my Nikon D90. I ordered it from Hong Kong. It has an LCD and a timer which can do timelapses (only up to 99 frames though, I haven't tried it yet...I've got a proper remote for the D90 now anyway), and also control exposure times when the camera is in the "Bulb" setting, up to 99 hours 99 minutes and 99 seconds. it came with 2 real Nikon Batteries. It's pretty cool. The instructions are in "Chinglish" so I'll have to test it out to find out how it all works.
I took this shot with my Canon SX100 IS (also running CHDK) at ISO 800. I saved the RAW file (CHDK lets all these little Canons shoot RAW) but didn't bother to process it, this picture is just for demostration purposes, so why bother? This is a JPEG straight from the camera.
The camera mounted on top of the kitchen timer is an old used SD400 I bought on ebay for 50 bucks.
BTW there is a group on Flickr for cheapskate camera hacks: PoorManHacks

It’s location is on the southern end of Ullswater in the far eastern Lake District. We parked opposite St Peter's Church on Martindale Hause. It was a beautiful morning to walk up the short but very steep gradient to Hallin Fell. It’s one of the smallest hills and yet offers the very grandest of views.
About 38 images of the setting moon were stacked on an image of a vivid post sunset image of the sky using a Canon 80D and a Canon 8-15 mm f/4L fisheye lens. Each image was taken using an intervalometer set 10 minutes apart.

This will probably be my last post for a few weeks as we are off on a cruise to the Mediterranean with friends. As many of my regular Flickr friends will know I love watching and photographing meteors and the best one for England is the annual Perseid shower. Whilst it is showing now, the peak will come over the night of 12/13 August but the forecast for my part of England (Sussex) is for cloud cover for the rest of the week. Aaargh! So I set up the camera on a tripod and set the intervalometer overnight in the hope I may get something last night. It was still rather cloudy so out of 400+ images, only two showed meteors and only in this one (at 04.00hrs) is it vaguely visible (top right hand corner). Hmmm, disappointing but here's hoping the forecast is wrong and the skies will clear. Thanks for all the recent support and make sure you all behave yourselves whilst I'm away! Tom

This is the area around the heart of scorpio (Antares) the seventeenth brightest star in the nighttime sky and the brightest star in the constellation Scorpius, and is often referred to as "the heart of the scorpion". Along with Aldebaran, Regulus, and Fomalhaut, Antares comprises the group known as the 'Royal stars of Persia'. It is one of the four brightest stars near the ecliptic. Distinctly reddish when viewed with the unaided eye, Antares is a red supergiant at a distance of 550 Light Years, imagine the massive size compared to the distance and how bright it is in the night sky.
Antares is surrounded by the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex. The Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex is a dark nebula of gas and dust that is located 1° south of the star ρ Ophiuchi of the constellation Ophiuchus which is one of the closest star-forming regions to the Solar System. This region is around 460 Light Years away from us which contains a total of about 3,000 times the mass of the Sun in material.
This image is a stack of images shot with and with astronomik CLS filter. Total 15 x 122sec (Without filter) + 10 x 122sec (With Filter) was hoping to get same amount with filter but the lens dewed up so had to drop those images. The filter leaves a blue/green tint to the images and it does take a while to get them fixed, spent around 2 + hours to process the image, love the outcome. Just not happy with the 50mm lens as it has a Spherical Abbr more than i expected, had the crop the image to get rid of the abbr corners. For some reason my intervalometer was set to 122sec, have to make sire it is 120sec next time.
The images were shot using 50mm f1.8 on Canon 6D and tracked using iOptron ZEQ25. After a long time auckland skies were clear and cloud not miss the opportunity but had to pay for that at night as all motorways were closed and had to take a 55km detour, was just hoping the night was worth it and now i can say it was.
Total Exposure data = 51.23min = 3050 sec
Colour corrected in Lightroom 5 and Median stacked in Photoshop CC
Exif for each frame: 122 sec, f2.8 with Canon 50mm f1.8 on Canon 6D
(With Filter) : ISO 3200
(Without Filter) : ISO 800
Shot near Warkworth Satellite Station
Feel free to share the image and CC welcomed
