The sun managed to find an opening in the clouds after the afternoon storms had passed through bringing a beautiful warm light on the upper part of the falls and surrounding cliffs. I found this unique perspective last fall and have since wanted to go back and finally got the opportunity to go. Honestly it was so refreshing to go back out and let the Lord refresh my soul which had honestly felt so empty from how difficult things have been between my health and my work. I am thankful to live so close to so many beautiful places and for God's grace to be able to go to them and enjoy the majesty of His creativity.
Managed by the National Trust, consider joining, for a photographer or historian its a ticket to some wonderful locations.
I managed to get out early on the latest in a series of misty mornings characterised by a temperature inversion in the Derwent Valley (and, indeed, across a much wider area). I took this shortly after sunrise with mist starting to roll in to envelop Over Owler Tor.
I managed some time to shoot for myself today. I have been wanting to visit the Burr Oak Woods Conservation Area for quite awhile now. When my friend and photographer, Michael Rosell, posted his image I knew that it was time to go. If you find your way out there, you will see this area is right at the main gate to the right. There is a very small parking area and a wooden fence. Make your way past the fence and up a very short trail to this grove. These trees feel like something out of Northern California.
These are actually Pine trees as well which is weird given the name of the park. I shot with my 24-105L, 85mm, and 50mm. There are quite a few different styles I chose to work with and I’m excited to hear which might be your favorite. I would encourage you to click on each one to get a further detailed look.
🇳🇱 Na bijna 60 jaar trouwe dienst is het moment daar: de Klassiekjes van de NMBS gaan definitief uit dienst. Vandaag, 14 december, wordt een belangrijke epoche in de geschiedenis van de Belgische spoorwegen afgesloten met een afscheidsrit, eentje waar ik helaas niet bij kan zijn. MS66 660 zal het enige stel zijn dat behouden blijft.
Bon, op 19 september heb ik gelukkig nog MS66 663 kunnen vereeuwigen op station Manage, die we hier als S62 E4262 naar Luttre zien vertrekken. Eigenlijk had ik een ander stekje in gedachten, maar door een recent geplaatst hekje was dat helaas niet mogelijk.
🇬🇧 After nearly 60 years of loyal service, the time has come: the NMBS/SNCB "Klassiekjes" are being retired for good. Today, December 14, marks the end of an important era in the history of Belgian railways, with a farewell run that I, unfortunately, cannot attend. MS66 660 will be the only unit preserved.
Back on 19 September I was fortunate enough to capture MS66 663 at Manage station, seen here departing working S62 E4262 to Luttre. I originally had a different spot in mind, but a recently installed fence made that impossible.
🇩🇪 Nach fast 60 Jahren treuem Dienst ist der Moment gekommen: Die „Klassiekjes“ der NMBS/SNCB gehen endgültig außer Dienst. Heute, am 14. Dezember, endet eine wichtige Epoche in der Geschichte der belgischen Eisenbahnen mit einer Abschiedsfahrt, an der ich leider nicht teilnehmen kann. Der MS66 660 wird die einzige Einheit sein, die erhalten bleibt.
Am 19. September hatte ich glücklicherweise noch die Gelegenheit den MS66 663 am Bahnhof Manage zu verewigen, hier zu sehen als S62 E4262 auf dem Weg nach Luttre. Eigentlich hatte ich einen anderen Fotostelle im Sinn, aber ein kürzlich errichteter Zaun machte das leider unmöglich.

I managed to scramble early to watch sunrise from the Alabama Hills in California. About 20 minutes before the sun's first rays hit the peaks of the Sierra Nevada, this neat pink/blue combination set in. Over the next 20 minutes they would completely change. There are so many great perspectives from these hills. Both formations are granite, with the foreground hills showing more weathering and soft shaping.
Managed to catch this small private Porsche Carrera GT run leaving yesterday.
Be a hero and check out my faecbook page!
Before all that storm debris cluttered the top of this waterfall, the water used to pour over the rock top left and fan out in the shape of a whale's tail. It's still an impressive sight but I think that I prefer it the way it was.
Managing to avoid the mizzle, which threatened to end the night early. Mart and I fired off a few shots. I like this simple orange background lighting and a cooler light used in the Backlight Scanner used through the archway.

Managed to get out this morning before the snow disappears again. Stayed very local as wasn’t sure how good the roads were. The mist/fog was stuck on the higher ground, so I stayed relatively low and close to home. This was taken as I had just passed through a patch of fog, and spotted this little cluster of trees, with the sun just breaking through to give some diffused light. Liked the animal tracks leading toward the trees as well.
Managed to capture this Spotted Pardalote about to land on a branch. Very overcast day but relatively low shutter speed as the bird slowed for landing allowed a sharp bird but with nicely blurred wings.
This is the bridge over the pond in Benmore Gardens, recently re-opened after being closed for 2 years during Covid.

I managed to capture this Fox just at the moment he stuck his tongue out though I think he was licking his lips. Foxes are found throughout Britain and Ireland. In fact they are found pretty much throughout the Northern Hemisphere. British Foxes were once thought to be a different subspecies (crucigera) with smaller, more widely separated teeth. But further work has shown that dentition varies and it is highly doubtful whether British Foxes are sufficiently different to merit being called a subspecies. Though Foxes from even warmer parts of Europe seem to develop longer coats compared with British Foxes. They are highly adaptable and can occur in many different habitats feeding on a wide variety of food especially rabbits, voles, birds, beetles, worms and fruit. Foxes living in urban areas tend to scavenge for food scraps just as they do for carrion in rural areas. But they will also take live food in urban situations. The one visiting my garden is partial to peanuts.
Foxes mate in the depths of winter when the Vixen can be heard making that familiar screaming bark. Gestation is just over 50 days and the young are fully weaned at about 10 weeks. The male usually helps provision the young with food. The cubs usually associate with their mother until autumn, when they disperse to find territories of their own.
Managed to get the BONZA B738MAX fleet* this morning VH-UIK, UJT & UJK sitting out on the ramp on the Sunshine Coast Airport (MCY/YBSU) awaiting their launch 31 January 2023...
* 9 image stitched for the wider shots... 😉😉
I managed to get back in to an abandoned factory I thought was lost forever and was secured by fences and security guards. Now it seems all the guards have gone and the gates were wide open. And who am I to refuse another chance to visit an old favourite lightpainting haunt!?
The old factory in question was a refractories facility close to Matlock in Derbyshire, England. It's about a 40 mile drive from me so not exactly local and driving all that way only to be turned away by a security guard is not an option. Especially now since fuel for my batmobile is so expensive.
Inside the factory are wide open spaces with curved roofs and long narrow corridors. It's like a playground for lightpainters since there are so many places to shoot in.
Along the first floor is a long gallery or walkway with a cool roof supporting structure. This gallery has featured in my images from here quite a bit and last night we found ourselves up on the first floor again.
For this shot I set up a gelled flashgun at the rear of frame and asked the model, @inksurgeon to stand in the middle. We set off a smoke pellet to provide background seperation behind the subject. Once happy with the main part of the image, I replaced the lens cap without ending the exposure.
I then turned on a couple of tactically placed RGB LED cubes pointed at the steelwork. I then removed the lens cap and rotated the blue lit steel structure for a total of eight ways. The camera is rotated around the lens axis and I expose each segment for a couple of seconds before rotating the camera.
Possibly a bit complicated to explain to the non-lightpainter but I can say that this image was made in one photographic exposure.
The Lady In The Basement managed to lock her keys in her truck, so I went outside to help and wound up waiting with her for the AAA.
We had neat clouds at dusk so I went in and got the camera. Was dyslexic enough to think the ASA said 100 when it actually said 1600.
Oops.
(2 more rolls of 35mm film coming back tomorrow)
Managed to get last week's Northern Lights behind the shipwreck. Missed the previous ones this year so it was great to have a bit of luck this time. Looked magical.
Managed to get both the ground and aerial view of CXRG's Monte Vista turn as it pulled eight hoppers from the Coors plant at Monte Vista, Colorado. The trip back to Alamosa will take about an hour, while I get a leaky tire repaired.
Managed to capture the Male Orange Tip Butterfly today after seeing a few of them about the last week
Close-up shot of the rapids in Glen Massan where the rocks have been carved into unusual shapes by millennias of water movement.
Managed to take a blue hour picture of the Christmas Tree and the other trees that have lights. It was a little windy, so I got some motion blur on the wire holding the lights.
Glancing through my gallery you might think that we have an abundance of insect life in our surroundings. Nothing could be further from the truth and I struggle to find much at all day to day, especially at the moment during our anticyclonic gloom. One species that does seem to have done OK is the mother of pearl moth - patania ruralis. As I go around the garden watering with the hose, I inevitably disturb one or two moths and this one flew out yesterday and secreted itself amongst the Japanese azalea leaves. Usually these moths in flight travel fast and disappear before I can pinpoint their position. But I managed to spot this one's hiding place and got a snap or two, even with our dark, grey skies overhead. These mother of pearl moths have emerged from a clump of nettles which we grew in a container pot. Quite often they have flapped back into the nettles which have kindly stung me as I strive for a snap or two. This time however, there were no such hazards.
I managed to persuade my grandson to come for a short walk after dinner but, he was quite alarmed when I asked two young ladies if they mind me taking a photo of their drinks.
Managed to get out and photograph the very shy and elusive Dartford Warbler at long last!, bit of a long shot and heavy crop but I liked the pose so much that I picked this one out of all the others to post, a second or two before I pressed the shutter button a dog started to bark and this little fellow stretched up over the gorse to see what all the commotion was about, lovely to see and hear these pretty little birds! :)
On another note, I have just knocked up a Website www.Digittalia.com its still under construction and only on free hosting until I finish the construction so it might be a bit slow to load etc but its been long overdue and for all the people who have been nagging me to do it, you know who you are so check it out! ;) lol
Thanks to those who look and take the time to comment, it's very much appreciated.

I only managed to get a few worthy shots on this particular evening as the ball head part of my tripod had broken. Thankfully I found the same ball head at the local camera shop later on and although it was an extra expense, I couldn't really fathom the thought of being in South Island for another 2 weeks without being able to use my tripod.
I admire all you landscape photographers out there. New Zealand is so picturesque, it truly is a landscape photographers haven. I gave it my best shot but I've come to realise that I may be out of my depth as far as this genre is concerned, lol. But still, I'll keep at it.......
Tadaaa! Three OOTDs I managed to create and put them in 1 picture. I kinda want to portray the "Gamer, Influencer & Boho Chic" Style :D So what Style do you prefer?
