Combo of 3 Wombo images, layered and blended in Pixelmator Pro, enhanced with PicLight and my texture.

 

Using the prompt word, Steampunk, leads to some fun Wombo creations. HDR and VFX styles used here.

 

Time to take off! Thanks for the visit and your comments!

 

There are not many groups that I have found to display Wombo works, so I have created one. Please be patient with me, as I have never done this before. Please check it out!

I would have liked this a bit sharper

Under the old and the newer launch slipways at Sennen Cove Life Boat Station

I usually try to avoid centering the subject of a photo, but I think it works on this one of Ripley taken at lunch today. : ) No way to avoid her at this speed, but I got lots of snowy, happy kisses once I was lying in the snow.

This board rider looked as though he was launching on to rocks but he had seen a wave coming that I couldn't see.

With the FFF+ at Torquay Surf Beach.

Captured in: Callicoon, NY.

 

Pictured here is the launch and subsequent explosion of a fireworks rocket & shell during a fireworks show. The image was captured during an annual July 4th event held in upstate NY.

 

My brother-in-law was part of the pyrotechnics team that was running the show, so we were fortunate to get an up-close and personal view of the launch area.

 

I found this one while recently looking back through the archives. ;) Not sure why I never got around to posting it, especially as I happened to really like the shot.

AVIATION PHOTOGRAPHY DIGEST

An Atlantic puffin stands on the edge of a rocky cliff at Sumburgh Head with its wings partially raised, preparing to launch off the cliff down to the water. The bird stands with its orange feet on a small grass tuft and is surrounded by blooming sea pinks. Shetland, Scotland.

This church (on the fortress island of Suomenlinna, near Helsinki) was originally Russian Orthodox, but at a later point it was converted to Lutherian and its onion domes were knocked down, leaving it looking a little bit odd. It reminded me of a rocket on a launch pad.

'Morning Launch' Large On Black

 

A portion of the wintering population of Sandhill Cranes at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. I love the running crane with the bit of splash.

  

on the Kennet and Avon canal at Bathampton, Somerset.

The folks a board were wineing and dining.

 

The Kennet and Avon Canal is a waterway in southern England with an overall length of 87 miles (140 km),[1] made up of two lengths of navigable river linked by a canal. The name is commonly used to refer to the entire length of the navigation rather than solely to the central canal section. From Bristol to Bath the waterway follows the natural course of the River Avon before the canal links it to the River Kennet at Newbury, and from there to Reading on the River Thames. In all, the waterway incorporates 105 locks.

 

The two river stretches were made navigable in the early 18th century, and the 57-mile (92 km) canal section was constructed between 1794 and 1810. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the canal gradually fell into disuse after the opening of the Great Western Railway. In the latter half of the 20th century the canal was restored in stages, largely by volunteers. After decades of dereliction and much restoration work, it was fully reopened in 1990. The Kennet and Avon Canal has been developed as a popular heritage tourism destination for boating, canoeing, fishing, walking and cycling, and is also important for wildlife conservation.

SpaceX Crew 4 Dragon Capsule Launch - Edgewater Florida

Creating memorable moments is something we strive to do on our photo workshops. During an outing this spring, we were getting ready to wind up a fun Milky Way shoot deep in the Utah desert. A 5% moon was just starting to rise when all of the sudden we saw a line of lights traveling quickly in the sky overhead. These lights originated from a single point and proceeded to follow each other all the way to the horizon. We had never seen anything like it! The lights just kept coming and coming. Meanwhile, I decided I'd better take a photo to document it! After we got back, we learned this was a launch of some Starlink satellites by SpaceX. If you zoom in on the photo, you can see the little hooks in the light trails from where they were launched off the rocket. Moments like this will live in our memories forever!
