Fort Adams State Park
Newport, Rhode Island

Inside one of the many spaces inside Fort Adams in Newport, RI.
"The forces of nature that gave the settlers of Rhode Island one of the finest natural harbors in the world, Narragansett Bay, also presented them with a military challenge. Part of the challenge was to prevent an enemy fleet from entering the bay to attack friendly ships or cities along the shore. Another part was to prevent an enemy from seizing the bay to use it for a base of operations.
Periodically, those charged with meeting this challenge have had to answer three broad questions. The first was whether to fortify the bay in addition to, or in place of, defending it by strictly naval means. If the answer was yes, questions remained as to what type of fortifications should be built and where they should be located. A look at how these questions were answered in the past provides not only an insight into an important aspect of Newport’s history, but a review of the development of American seacoast defenses as well."
A lonely bush is not a lonely tree. But it still wants to be one, though?

We live in a wonderful world full of beauty, charm, and adventure. There is no end to the adventure we have if only we seek them with our eyes open.

Fog reduces the contrast of a scene dramatically. It is ideal for landscape photos. For best results I would recommend shooting in RAW. There is a much more leniency in changing the exposure in post-production and most importantly the white balance when shooting RAW. The auto white balance (AWB) can easily be fooled by fog. Adding a slightly blue cast to the images can enhance the mood of the photos. It is usually required to use a tripod when photographing in foggy conditions. Without adding noise to the photo you wil usually get an exposure that is too long for hand held photography. In my case it was at night and only a little bit of lights from the street lights. As always when using a tripod, remember to turn off optical stabilisation.
This photo was taken in May 2013 with a Canon 50D and a Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
Camera Settings: f/8.0, 10 seconds and ISO 100
Spectacular lightrays at Little Bay.
Perhaps the aliens have arrived for the three Photographers and a Fishermen.
..... can you find them before they are abducted for bizarre experiments?
We were lucky enough to wake to morning fog the the other day so I rushed out with my camera!

I believe that God is good even when life is not. I am thankful he's given me the eyes to see beauty when the world sees hate. My style of photography isn't for everyone but I wish some could learn the lessons I've learned from watching the sun set and the windmill turn. There is so much good in a simple life.

Monks lighting a candle inside a temple in Bagan. The scene is amazing enough, but especially so when you consider that this was shot inside a temple that was built about a thousand years ago! You can still see remnants of the original bas-relief and paintings on the wall.
While shooting the super flower blood moon on May 26 2021 from Treasure Island in the San Francisco Bay (pics of that to follow soon), we were treated to a really cool sunrise scene...

Took this series of shots while on vacation in Wisconsin, US. I absolutely loved how the light filtered through the canyon. In some spots the canyon squeezes so tightly that you have to turn sideways or crawl to get through. If you ever have a chance to visit this place I am sure you will get some amazing shots. Taken with my Canon 7D and 24-70mm F2.8L.
I was working at a 3 day long concert this last Memorial day weekend! On Sunday night we had these amazing clouds and rays of light. Later in the evening there was a huge storm with 70 mph winds that destroyed part of the concert stage, trees and vendor tents. Continuation of the crazy spring weather we have been experiencing
This beautiful pastel-like morning sunrise was captured at Whitewater Park in Boise, Idaho. A long exposure was used to soften the water. A bit of morning mist sits low on the water under the bridge.

Some pictures are tentative forays without your even knowing it. They become methods. It's important to take bad pictures. It's the bad ones that have to do with what you've never done before. They can make you recognize something you hadn't seen in a way that will make you recognize it when you see it again.

The weather hasn't been up to impress me lately so decided to have a go at another one from my trip to Scotland. This is just captured on from the path strolling back from where my long exposure experiment took place.
Hope you all enjoy your week ahead my fellow flickronians! Take Care!
I shared an image similar to this one a while back but decided to reprocess it last night. The previous image had been processed using traditional HDR techniques; tonemapping, corrections in Photoshop, etc. The image below has been processed using the 32 bit Lightroom technique. In other words, no tonemapping via Photomatix or the like.
I used 5 bracketed images and then exported them to the "merge to 32 bit" plugin provided by HDRsoft. This merely brings a 32 bit image back into LR for further processing. No halos, no ghosts, no crap, just pure dynamic range! I'm loving this newer technique, as it yields the closest image to what I remember.

Good evening!
Almost finished with the bluebells. Maybe just one more after this. I got up at stupid o'clock for these last couple so I want to make the most them, especially considering how rough I still feel after loosing out on all that sleep!
Have a great bank holiday for all those who are off tomorrow. Be safe :)

História de la fotografía:
Hacía muchos dias que no realizábamos una salida fotográfica que mi compañero de fotografía me insistía en salir a realizar fotografías con niebla. Localizamos una comarca donde siempre acostumbra haber niebla y madrugamos para acercarnos... el pronóstico del tiempo era favorable, pero al llegar ya no había niebla.
Lo curioso es que los días anteriores si había y los posteriores también, seremos gafes?
Sobre la marcha decidimos localizar y fotografiar, pueblos muy pequeños de la provincia de Lérida.
Realicé esta fotografía a primeras horas de mañana, por la perspectiva del camino y las luces en contraluz que se filtraban entre las ramas de los árboles, por lo que le dije a mi compañero que caminara y le disparé al salir de la zona de la penumbra, para tener un componente humano que le diera mejor perspectiva y jugando con los rayos de luz.
Espero que os guste, un saludo. Antoni Gallart.

History of photography:
It had been many days since we had taken a photographic outing that my photography partner insisted that I go out to take photographs in fog.
We located a region where there is always fog and we got up early to get there... the weather forecast was favorable, but when we arrived there was no longer fog.
The curious thing is that the days before there were and the days after too, are we going to be jinxed?
Along the way we decided to locate and photograph very small towns in the province of Lérida.
I took this photograph early in the morning, due to the perspective of the road and the backlit lights that filtered through the branches of the trees, so I told my partner to walk and I shot him as he left the area of darkness. , to have a human component that would give it a better perspective and playing with the rays of light.
I hope you like it, greetings. Antoni Gallart.
