JOIN ME on my Five Day Northern Lights Iceland Workshop
15th - 20th October 2020
melvinnicholsonphotography.co.uk/product-category/iceland...
There are images that I really wanted to capture on this visit to Iceland that I failed to get last year and this scene is one of them. The wonderful church that sits high up overlooking the town of Vik.
I arose at 6am, ventured eastwards for 20km and before the sun rose, I set up and fired off several shots from near the black beach so as to have the church more visible than from the roadside.
The lights go out around sunrise (7.43am this morning) so you have to get there earlier than sunrise to capture it with the lights on. I love the setting of the church in front of the mountain behind it and the warm colour of the lighting of the church contrasts beautifully with the cold feel of the ice covered mountain behind.
I hope you all like it. Iceland if you have never visited it, is truly stunning. The weather can be challenging but so rewarding when you get the shot you were after.
Have a great weekend everyone

When I joined Flickr, it was so I could enter a photographic competition. I never imagined, fifteen years later that I would have so many followers, have shared so many images, or have made some of the best friends I have (even ones whom I have never physically met but have connected with emotionally and spiritually). Thanks to Flickr, and the exposure it has given my work, my images have appeared in books, journals and magazines around the world, I appear on numerous websites, and I have three postage stamps all featuring my images. The world of social media can be ruthless, yet here on Flickr, I have found a kind, friendly and receptive community of like minded people ready to embrace other members. I have much to be grateful about, thanks to Flickr.
So, happy twentieth birthday, Flickr! Thank you for everything you are, and all that you do. I am paying tribute to this wonderful platform by using the Flickr livery of bright blue and hot pink in a still life using my latest obsession, cotton spools.
When it was my birthday a few months ago, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas.
Amongst the gifts was a pretty ribbon of vibrant blue and white embroidered daisies, some blue, magenta and pink crocheted daisies from Poland, some Estonian hand dyed lace and some tiny segments of crochet, all of which I have set up on the back terrace against one of my antique embroidered Art Deco doilies from the 1930s, and accessorised with some peacock blue silver and enamel buttons from Birmingham, hallmarked 1910, some tiny Japanese cloisonné vest buttons from the 1880s, some pink rose buttons from the 1960s, a Victorian spool of W. and J. Knox peacock blue linen thread and a spool of Dewhurst's Sylko Rose Pink cotton which dates from between 1938 and 1954.
W. and J. Knox Ltd was first established over two centuries ago when the Knox family set up a small textile mill in Kilbirnie to spin the locally-grown flax fibre and to manufacture linen thread. It was first registered as a company in 1778 then subsequently named W. and J. Knox in the 1800s by the sons of the founder. The Knox family was involved with the company for the first 200 years, with ownership passing through the generations, and agents being set up all over the world. Hearsay places an agent in New Zealand only ten years after Captain Cook’s discovery, and written records show trade agreements in place in the early 1800s in Canada. Cosalt plc purchased the company from Linndustries in the 1970s, with ownership passing to the local management team in 2004, following an MBO. Two centuries after opening, Knox is still based in the same Ayrshire town, and is now owned by the local management team, following an MBO from Cosalt plc in 2004.
Belle Vue Mill, commonly known as Dewhurst’s, was built by Thomas Dewhurst in 1828. It opened in 1829 as John Dewhurst & Sons and was one of Skipton’s largest spinning and weaving mills. The mill’s position next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal meant that raw cotton could be shipped in by boats from Liverpool. Finished goods would then be sent back the same way ready for distribution. Coal to power the machine’s steam engines was also delivered by barge. In 1897 Dewhurst’s was bought by the English Sewing Cotton Co. It continued to produce Sylko, one of the mill’s most famous products. It was produced in over 500 colours and sold throughout the world. Sylko cottons are still available at haberdashers today.

The Gefion Fountain (Danish: Gefionspringvandet) is a large fountain on the harbour front in Copenhagen, Denmark. It features a large-scale group of animal figures being driven by the legendary Norse goddess, Gefjun. It is located in Langelinie Park next to Kastellet and is the largest monument in Copenhagen and used as a wishing well.
The fountain depicts the mythical story of the creation of the island of Zealand on which Copenhagen is located. The legend appears in Ragnarsdrápa, a 9th century Skaldic poem recorded in the 13th century Prose Edda, and in Ynglinga saga as recorded in Snorri Sturluson's 13th century Heimskringla.
According to Ynglinga saga, the Swedish king Gylfi promised Gefjun the territory she could plow in a night. She turned her four sons into oxen, and the territory they plowed out of the earth was then thrown into the sea between Sweden and the island of Fyn in Denmark. The hole became a lake called Lögrinn and Leginum (locative). Snorri identifies the lake Löginn, as the lake of Old Sigtuna west of Stockholm, i.e., Lake Mälaren, an identification that he returns to later in the Saga of Olaf the Holy.

Europe - Croatia - Hrvatska - Dubrovnik - UNESCO World Heritage Site - Pearl of the Adriatic - Historical Mediterranean city on Adriatic Sea coast in extreme south of Croatia
The 'Pearl of the Adriatic', situated on the Dalmatian coast, became an important Mediterranean sea power from the 13th century onwards. Although severely damaged by an earthquake in 1667, Dubrovnik managed to preserve its beautiful Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches, monasteries, palaces and fountains.
It is one of the most prominent tourist destinations on the Adriatic, a seaport and the centre of Dubrovnik-Neretva county. Dubrovnik joined the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. The prosperity of the city of Dubrovnik has always been based on maritime trade. In the Middle Ages, as the Republic of Ragusa, also known as a Maritime Republic (together with Amalfi, Pisa, Genoa, Venice and other Italian cities), it became the only eastern Adriatic city-state to rival Venice. Supported by its wealth and skilled diplomacy, the city achieved a high level of development, particularly during the 15th and 16th centuries. Although demilitarised in the 1970s with the intent of forever protecting it from war devastation, in 1991, after the breakup of Yugoslavia, it was besieged by Serb-Montenegrin forces for 7 months and received significant damage from being shelled.
Croatia has so many wonderful locations to explore, if you want to check some of them, these Croatian timelapses capture treasures Croatia has to offer :

The Katholische Hofkirche (English: The Catholic Church of the Royal Court of Saxony) is a Roman Catholic Cathedral, located in the 'Altstadt' in the heart of Dresden, in Germany. Previously the most important Catholic parish church of the city, it was elevated to cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dresden-Meißen in 1964.
The Hofkirche stands as one of Dresden's foremost landmarks. It was built by architect Gaetano Chiaveri from 1738 to 1751. The church was badly damaged during World War II and was restored during the mid-1980s under the East German regime. Today it is the cathedral of the diocese of Dresden-Meißen. It has Silbermann's last and biggest organ.

The sunflower is native to the Central Americas. The evidence thus far is that it was first domesticated in Mexico, by at least 2600 BC. Many indigenous American peoples used the sunflower as the symbol of their solar deity, including the Aztecs and the Otomi of Mexico and the Incas in South America. Francisco Pizarro was the first European to encounter the sunflower in Tahuantinsuyo, Peru. Gold images of the flower, as well as seeds, were taken back to Spain early in the 16th century. Some researchers argue that the Spaniards tried to suppress cultivation of the sunflower because of its association with solar religion and warfare.

joined a “Meet Up” group and participated in a downtown or midtown walking tour of the Wide Open Walls Mural project (Sacramento, CA). This was a great photo opportunity to look at some pretty cool mural art done by talented local artists. I think I walked about 5 miles this day with the Plus One in her carrier backpack. I certainly got my exercise in carrying a 8lb single weight.
Well I have finally meet my doom, I have been told over and over again not to drink and drive. many small accidents have come and gone, nothing really to talk about they all started in my teens little bity fender benders (just something to giggle about) no one hurt, no big deal! Well my faith is sealed !!! I just had maybe one too many awwe what could it hurt I was always use to having a few after working a long grueling day...
HEY!!! I deserved it! What was 3 or 4 maybe 5 vodka and tonics ... RIGHT!!! I missed the light ran the red and thank God missed the car in the intersection and hit a pole - put my arm in front of me to save my face - but hear I heard i severed my arm that resulted in my doom.... well purgatory for me - I was told - you know the one - EXACTLY like Bryn Oh's ironing Angels wings like for ever - Thank the Lord for the Deadmore's they offered me this room a chair and a cage - well it is better than ironing - right? Along with the name "Doomed Pleasure Deadmore - wonder why they gave me that name?

I spotted this coupled pair of scarlet mormons (Papilio rumanzovia), also known as the red mormon, hanging from a leaf quite high up at my local butterfly house.
Fortunately, I had the (Sigma) 180mm lens now which offers much better reach than what I can achieve with the 100mm. Thus, I extended both sections of the tripod legs as much as the could and raised the center column to the max and was able to capture these through the leaves and vines hanging from the ceiling at pretty much level height.

I joined a local camera club last year and it's got me thinking about genres of photography other than landscape.
When I saw this scene I had the title in my head straight away I just had to wait for some passers by to move out of the plaza.
The Plaza de la Constitución and Iglesia (church) Matriz de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción in Agaete, Gran Canaria.
We joined the valley floor tour and Yosemite valley view point was our first stop. Sitting at the end of the tram, I didn’t hear where we were and I thought that view was just beyond words. It was early October and the weather was very cheerful. We left Yosemite that day and the floor tour gave us a perfect closure of our time there in Yosemite:)
I use HDRtist NX 2, a Mac App I co-develop with my husband to process the image. If you would like to see the original photo, please click here : www.flickr.com/photos/24426865@N03/49149719083/in/datepos...
