Gallery 915 is a section of the Metropolitan of Art reserved for large contemporary painting and sculptures. The large windows face Central Park and the sky often influences the colors of the art.
The paintings on view in the photo are (L. to R.) Stationary Figure by Philip Guston painted in 1973, Rush Hour by George Condo from 2010, Philip Pearlstein’s Two Models with Bent Wire Chair and Kilim Rug dated 1984 and Naked Man, Back View from Lucian Freud in 1991-92. The circular wall sculpture on the right is the 1982 Tango by Martin Puryear.
Comparing the changes in these paintings and sculptures between morning, afternoon and evening light or between cloudy and sunny days is much more interesting than it sounds.

My thanks to Apionid for today’s Hereios theme. I don’t think i would have gotten out of the house and gone exploring if it hadn’t been for the railway challenge. Turns out Google Maps street view tool is also a pretty good location scouting tool….

Some of my favourite landscape, absolutely typical of the north-west coast of Scotland: Gneiss, in this case from the Scourian group dating anywhere from 2.5 to 4 billion years old; originally igneous but also subject to later metamorphism.
This whole part of the Assynt peninsula, enjoyed by the "loop" road B869, is a large swarm of metamicrogabbro and amphibolite dykes (formed 1.6 to 2.5 billion years ago).
There's something about the interplay of grey rock and warm heather with the hollows filled by glorious blue lochans that I just love.

On top of visiting NYC to record the April Film Photography Podcast, Lauren and I took a few days to hang out in the city, and take some fun pictures. This included a late night "session" in Times Square. Taken ~10pm, these shots came out splendidly, no artificial lighting was used. We waited at the scene ~ 5 minutes each time for the advertisements on the lighted billboard to rotate through to one with a more "daylight" cast to it. This most definitely paid off. ^__^
For all the haters thinking this was heavily 'shopped, here's a link to the "test shot"

Product Placement..
I quite like Isle of Jura whisky... not necessarily on the rocks though...
This shot took quite a bit of work to make - juggling a 24mm wide-angle prime lens in a burn requires very careful placement of the tripod to take advantage of the leading-lines of water and rocks.
Having placed the bottle I hid slightly out of frame to the right while a friend pushed the shutter; during the course of four 20s pixel-shift exposures I splashed back and forth through the scene manually firing a flash gun over the bottle and stones (1/8th power, diffused, with reflector card out to mask the flash itself). .
Post-processing is mostly in Affinity Photo to tone, soften and highlight the bottle further, followed by Snapseed for more glow.
I also tried the same idea using a very wide aperture - around f/1.8 - but that did not help lead the eye toward the bottle and its orange nectar contents; the subject distance meant that even at tjat aperture the DoF extended too far into the waterfall. The combination of soft-light blurs and gradients and masks in post-processing is more effective.
Chelsea Market is an enclosed urban food court, shopping mall, office building and television production facility located in the Chelsea neighborhood of the borough of Manhattan, in New York City.
Built in the former National Biscuit Company factory complex where the Oreo cookie was invented and produced in 1912.
The 22-building complex fills two entire blocks bounded by Ninth and Eleventh Avenues and 15th and 16th Streets, with a connecting bridge over Tenth Avenue.
It's a lovely place to visit if you are in New York, I love the interesting architecture of a mix of old & new!
Things one sees on an afternoon's stroll...
It was only a comparatively small beech tree, but with such dramatic light and a strong characterful shape it just had to be photographed.

Hard light – I know. They hardly ever crawl up onto the bank to sunbath in the early morning. They usually wait until the sun gets high in the sky before they crawl out of the water and start soaking up the sun.
Mixed light – I don’t pick the places where they sunbath.
Busy background – He’s picked the spot and not me.
Not a very good shot in my opinion. His eyes are closed. His head is poorly lit because of his position near the tall vegetation on the bayou. After all of the reasons why this is a poor shot, I give you the reason why I am still posting it. This is THE LARGEST alligator on the bayou and one that my friend Gary affectionately refers to a BIG BOY. We are talking about 14 feet of apex predator. Gary and I were discussing the fact that we had not seen him in quite some time, but now we know that he is still here and still likely the dominant BULL ALLIGATOR on Horsepen Bayou.
Just a footnote to this narrative. I often have people approach me and say that they’ve seen some humongous alligator 18 feet long and such. I can understand why they exaggerate because when you see this character out of the water he looks like a submarine that the Navy lost on the bayou. My friend Gary and I both agree that this massive lizard is 14 feet long and that’s large enough to get anyone’s attention.
I’ve included a reference to a capture of him that I took several years ago where he is a bit more visible.
I am still behind on my comments, but I’ll get there eventually.

This was the second evening I'd set out to make a timelapse of the sunset into dusk. At least this time I was prepared for haar coming in off the sea (chose a safer less-cliff-top location near the path back, for starters). It did not disappoint: over the course of an hour the sun moved, the waves came and went, and a huge bank of fog moved in transforming the scene from brilliant sunset reflecting on the water, to complete white-out. All the possible moods of the landscape in barely an hour - quite awesome.
This photo is a temporal flattening of a timelapse sequence - using the intervalometer to shoot HDR brackets 3*±1EV at regular intervals which can be made either into a timelapse video or averaged-out into a still, like this. (The sun itself is blended from fewer images to avoid motion blur.)
Taking a very early morning stroll around the town in which I have lived for 48 years, a very rare thing for me to do. The dawn was quite beautiful but rain threatened and indeed it arrived just as I returned home for breakfast.

The sun was going down still a lovely afterglow, the people driving home still smiling after a lovely day, the lights came on to work for the night, shops and attractions were closing down grateful for a well-earned rest, DONE FOR THE DAY...
Photographically an interesting time, this is a pond on the North Beach, in Bridlington, where kids can ride little boats, the promenade light reflecting in the still water.
Another aspect of Summer... again from all over!
Have a lovely day and thanks for your comments, M, (*_*)

After the train had left, just the deserted station and the fog remained. The glow from the lights makes quite a welcoming sight in the darkness, maybe a sense of safety?

Maybe not the blood red of the lunar eclipse, but the moon did have a nice rosy glow as it rose into the evening sky.

In the woods near this waterfall I had the strangest experience. I heard a crackle in the forest that sounded like a deer, so we stopped to look around. Then we took a few more steps and heard a louder crackle. I looked up the hill in the dim, shady light thinking there was a squirrel in some tree branches, but a thin dead tree nearby made a few more loud cracks and just slowly fell to the ground. I've often seen fallen trees on the ground and thought it would be amazing to actually see one fall on it's own. In reality it was a bit sad and somewhat eerie, as if it had been pushed over by an invisible giant.
