I couldn't resist a golden hour shot back at Port Orleans French Quarter of the facade of the back of the lobby. I am a big fan of the architecture styles in this resort, and the lobby is no exception. And who could deny those great Florida palm trees to balance it all out. Boy, do I love that Sigma UWA lens. :) Enjoy!
Finally! UK Lockdown easing.
And what a joy it is to be back out in the beautiful English countryside.
Well, technically it's already here. This is an image from last year during my fall trip up to Ricketts Glen State Park. I made a rookie mistake in driving up there when there was not a cloud in the sky. But the color was absolutely gorgeous! This year I'm heading to upstate New York in a few weeks, which should hopefully coincide with the peak fall colors up there.
In response to the March 22 "Rust" challenge in the Macro Mondays group, a rusty railroad nail approximately 1/2-inch wide (and dated 1924). Single RAW file shot with a Canon 6D Mark II and a Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Macro lens outfitted with a Raynox 250, utilizing Kuuvik Capture on a tethered laptop. One continuous, diffused pale amber LED light camera left. Exposure compensation -2/3. Post in Adobe Photoshop and Nik Software's Viveza. (Press "L" to view large on black; press "L" again to exit.)

HMM to you all and thank you to everyone who views, faves and comments on this image and the others in my photostream.
One more left to post. Thanks for all of your great comments and visits! What I think is some what unique on this one is the LE effect on one side of the water and clarity on the other.

HMM to you all.
This is a bit more processing than normal for me, but I love the way the birds flying from the roof of the bar appear in this shot. Thanks again for looking and your comments on the other photos!
Ok, I know this image is a little crazy but I was just having fun here, so forgive me for exiting the bounds of reality for a minute! This is something I took a couple of years back at Yellowstone, while on a trip with 2 of the coolest guys you could ever meet. We had a heck of a great time, and I took lots of photos on the trip. I just came across this the other day in my library, and thought I would give it the HDR Efex Pro treatment. I was sliding things here and there and just having a great time while in my own little world of software - hopefully you have experienced that joy yourself, firsthand. Anyways, I just thought it was a fun shot, nothing serious, just fun. Hope you get a laugh or something out of it! Thanks for looking!

I always loved that shot, I know , it could have been way better, but difficult to stack with windy conditions
Old shot remastered... sorry the weather is still bizarre around here

These two gulls were walking on Wells Beach one morning. They looked to me like a couple on vacation...just seeing the sights.

Talacre Beach, Flintshire
It was a spur of the moment decision to take the coast road home from our visit to Llandudno for a recky to the lighthouse at Talacre. I wasn’t expecting anything photogenic considering the weather at Llandudno but was shocked at the number of people at the beach. Clearly a stunning landscape shot was out of the question with a featureless sky and people in every direction you looked. But since we’d made the effort to go then fire off a few shots for reference.
Back home, as anticipated, my shots weren’t floating my boat but I thought it an opportunity to process them using the Nik software collection. These have been processed using Silver Efex Pro and have turned out better than the native raw file...

Nicht nur Wasser, sondern auch Wein soll aus dem neuen Brunnen fliessen – so berichtet heute die NZZ. Die Zünfte zur Meisen und zur Waag hätten die Idee gehabt, in den kleinen Trinkbrunnen neben dem Hauptbecken eine Vorrichtung einzubauen, die mit wenigen Handgriffen den Ausschank von Wein ermögliche. Die grüne Tiefbauvorsteherin Ruth Genner sei einst gegen das Projekt gewesen, da es im Widerspruch zur Alkoholprävention stehe, weiss die NZZ. Genners Nachfolger, FDP-Stadtrat Filippo Leutenegger, genehmigte den Weinbrunnen.
Der Weinausschank ist streng geregelt. Laut dem provisorischen Betriebsreglement ist der Zunftwirt zur Waag dafür verantwortlich. Ein spezieller Brunnenwart wird sich um die Hygiene kümmern. Eine Schutzschale aus Kupfer ist bereits angeschafft. Die Einweihung am kommenden Montag ist geladenen Gästen vorbehalten, Filippo Leutenegger ist Ehrengast bei der Zunft zur Waag.
