A series of typical shapes of Lofoten.
Lofoten is an archipelago and a traditional district in the county of Nordland, Norway. Lofoten has distinctive scenery with dramatic mountains and peaks, open sea and sheltered bays, beaches and untouched lands. Its largest town, Leknes, is approximately 169 km (105 mi) inside the Arctic Circle and approximately 2,420 km (1,500 mi) away from the North Pole, making Lofoten one of the world's northernmost populated regions. Though lying within the Arctic Circle, the archipelago experiences one of the world's largest elevated temperature anomalies relative to its high latitude.
Lofoten (Old Norse: Lófót) was the original name of the island Vestvågøya. The first element is ló (i.e., "lynx") and the last element is derived from Norse fótr (i.e., "foot"), as the shape of the island must have been compared with that of a lynx's foot. (The old name of the neighbouring island Flakstadøya was Vargfót, "wolf's foot", from vargr "wolf".)
Lofotr was originally the name of the island of Vestvågøy only. Later it became the name of the chain of islands. The chain of islands with its pointed peaks looks like a lynx foot from the mainland. In Norwegian, it is always a singular. Another name one might come across, is "Lofotveggen" or the Lofoten wall. The archipelago looks like a closed wall when seen from elevated points around Bodø or when arriving from the sea, some 100 kilometres (62 miles) long, and 800–1,000 metres (2,600–3,300 feet) high.

This image was shot in my little studio, with just one flash with a honeygrit in front of the lamp. This low-key image looks dark but all the details are visible.

Today is the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, a day of awareness and support for environmental protection. First celebrated in 1970 across the USA, Earth Day events are now held in more than 193 countries worldwide. On this date, the landmark Paris Agreement was also signed, allowing for the implementation of the climate protection treaty. As Earth day celebrates its 50th anniversary, we must continue to fight for a clean environment with increasing urgency, as the ravages of climate change become more apparent every day. The effects of drastically reducing our carbon footprint resulting from the weeks of lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic clearly show the benefits of giving our Earth some breathing room.

She smiled, as her man held her two hands gently while saying those two little words... I clicked right in-between "I" and "do".
A lovely Saturday night wedding by the bay, in the Florida Keys.
[She faced the sunset and and I was able to capture the golden sunset light on her face. She seemed to be glowing with her happiness...and also with the beautiful light. The water behind her was blown out, but it didn't matter; the great light was on her.]

Another sunset shot from the Sedona Airport. There was a big crowd there, which makes sense, as this is one of the best shows in town.

This photograph is a testimonial to the benefits of anticipation and preparation. With the slow-moving large format camera equipment I use, I'm much better off when I can predict and wait for a situation, rather than react to one that is already unfolding. On this winter day I had hiked up into the foothills above Halls Valley, east of San Jose, CA, and was now heading back down along Los Huecos (The Hollow) Trail in Joseph D. Grant County Park. I stopped here and noticed this unusual composition at a moment when the lighting was flat and lifeless. The sun was blocked by clouds, but I could see that it might emerge below them in a few minutes before finally setting behind the mountains to the west. Optimistically, I set up my camera for the photograph and waited. Everything cooperated according to plan as the scene became painted in artist's light! Unlike the lighting that preceded this moment, the fallen oak tree is not lifeless at all, but merely dormant; I returned here a few months later to see it covered with new leaves. Apparently the tree fell many years ago when it was young, and has lived like this ever since! Pacific or oak mistletoe (Phoradendron villosum) can be seen growing in the tree's outer branches. Pacific mistletoe is native to western North America from Oregon south into Mexico, where it grows in oak woodland, and is a parasitic plant on host trees, especially oaks.

This was such a spectacular scene and I'm so happy I made it down there at the right time to catch the magic light and this wasn't easy. I didn't know this location and was just looking around the map 2 hours before sunset and found an icon indicating a lighthouse on valentia island. Well it was on the north-west coast and I figured it would maby make for a nice sunset scene with the sun coming from the back of the shooting location. so far so good but now I had to get there and I nearly didn't make it since I just kept driving the wrong roads.... back again next try and finally the nearest, steepest road led down to this location. AND just in time for the last sunrays to light the lighthouse :-) soon after they were gone behind the mountains in the back.
The waves were gorgeous and kept hitting the rocks to the left of me with force and sometimes even standing nearly 10meters of I nearly got my gear all wet ;-) I took a couple of shots and layerd 5 of em in PS to get the best out of the scene. You might even notice a very long exposure which looks a bit like fog in the foreground. Hope you like it and I'm open to any suggestions since I looked at this to long and am maybe missing some obvious flaws.
cheers

Nothing to spectacular here, just some typical alpine glow on Mt. Hood at Lost Lake. Was shooting with my bud, Gary Randall www.flickr.com/photos/rowdey/ here the other night.

Los Huecos Trail, Joseph D. Grant County Park, Santa Clara County, CA, 4/26/2012

Attractive weather and lighting often occur in the hours around sunrise and sunset, and this spring evening delivered exactly what I was hoping for! At this time of day, direct sunlight produces a much warmer rendering than the indirect illumination in shaded areas, and the difference in brightness between the two is less severe than during midday hours. The mellow and colorful conditions around sunset are conducive to good landscape photography. I had admired this view to the south from Los Huecos Trail in Santa Clara County's Joseph D. Grant County Park on earlier occasions, but had continued walking because the lighting was too harsh and the two oak trees didn't stand out from the background. On this day I hurriedly prepared my camera to capture the scene while the two oaks enjoyed the spotlight. When viewing this photograph I am reminded of what my grandfather Harry told me years before I had ever seen a mountain: "Real mountains - even ones that appear solid green at a glance - are actually many colors when studied carefully. You'll find every color there is when looking closely at a mountain". With tiny lavender flowers in the grass, the green and yellow grass itself, tan, red, and orange bark on the trees, shrubs in various hues of green, brown, and cranberry, and distant shades of mint, purple, and blue, these "green" mountains are a perfect testament to my grandfather's artistic wisdom. The landscape at Joseph D. Grant County Park is characteristic of the east foothills of California's Santa Clara Valley with grasslands and majestic oak trees. In the distance at far right across Halls Valley with an elevation of 2,502 feet above sea level is Mt. Misery.
