ABOUT THIS IMAGE
LISTLESS WAVE of LOW TIDE
Finding a new location it was a minus 1.2 foot low tide. A dry tropical storm was approaching from the south and the clouds were growing. For me it was a perfect time to enjoy the outdoors, the ocean and most important, to make an image. I have to acknowledge to very good friends, Stan who told me about Beachcomber (Stan, When I went there I remembered that I had been there before. Thank you). To Bob, who was my partner in crime that day and photo buddy who makes my images better when we photograph together and who also made the weather much better that day. Thanks for the clouds, Bob..!!!
Addendum:
This image is actually an HDR consisting of (3) images. A 4 min, 20 sec exposure, a 3 min, 17 sec exposure and a 2 min exposure. This allowed me to properly expose for the highlights and shadows. The tonal separation was too contrasty so the scene required this approach.

Did my first "real" wedding this past weekend in Charlottesville, VA. It poured down rain! Fortunately it let up enough to get some pics of the bride and groom on the Univ. of Va lawn. Here are some of the images I was able to process last night
Bridal portrait using only window light (which was heavily diffused by rain)

ABOUT THIS IMAGE
Strong Wind, Stronger Tree
Moonstone Beach in Cambria, California is one of my favorite places not withstanding Big Sur. Well I guess there is a long list of favorites, But Moonstone is close distance wise. I find many subjects to photograph there and this pine tree was a surprise. I had just made an image of a seascape and was walking back and came upon this image.

A Young Tree Standing Alone
Captured on Orcutt Road, Arroyo Grande, San Luis Obispo County, California during a brief storm which, finally brought some much needed rain to the area. I was able to sneak inbetween a few rain showers to click a few frames. A small young tree standing against the elements is struggling to grow into the giant of his fathers.

ABOUT THIS IMAGE
Rocks on the Water
One of my images on a photography outing with my good friend Bob Canepa at Montana de Oro.
Just spent a week on Corfu. A bit disappointed to lose my 0.6 grad nd at Sidari. It blew straight out of my hand and then lingered for a few seconds on the top of the cliff before being caught by another gust of wind sending it over the edge. I could have lurched for it, but I would have probably gone over with it. I had to make do with my 10 stop for this long exposure shot at Pontikonisi close to the airport.

ABOUT THIS IMAGE
June 4, 2013 Bob Canepa and I took a short photographic road trip looking for rusted farm equipment. We had no luck in finding any, but as always we have fun and found photo ops along the way. While photographing an old broken down shed, I spotted this succulent.
This scene from the Lake District was truly beautiful sat near the top of Hallin Fell taking in this delightful view for well over half and hour truly absorbing how scenery in this area of the United Kingdom is wonderful compared to were I live in Kent. But also never take for granted the scenery in your own neck of the world as that can also be beautiful !
Hope you like :)

ABOUT THIS IMAGE
Conestoga Wagon the Way West
The Conestoga wagon is a heavy, covered wagon that was used extensively during the late 18th century and the 19th century in the United States and Canada. It was large enough to transport loads up to 6 tons (5.4 metric tons), and was drawn by horses, mules or oxen. It was designed to help keep its contents from moving about when in motion and to aid it in crossing rivers and streams, though it sometimes leaked unless caulked.
The term "Conestoga wagon" refers specifically to this type of vehicle; it is not a generic term for "covered wagon". The wagons used in the westward expansion of the United States were, for the most part, ordinary farm wagons fitted with canvas covers. At least I hope it is a Conestoga..!!!

Built during the mid–1100s by Norman lord William of Albini II, the church of Saint Lawrence in the village of Castle Rising is hailed in the UK as a grandiose gesture and a prowess of overflowing decorative Romanesque architecture. We connoisseurs of Continental Europe Romanesque will probably not be so enthused, as the decoration of this church is truly not extravagant by our own standards...
Nevertheless, looking at the western façade unmistakably makes me think about those churches in Saintonge, as there is an obvious likelihood, even though Saint Lawrence remains very restrained compared to those.
While the inside was almost entirely redone during Victorian times, and will therefore be much less interesting to us, the outside shows a very pleasant and harmonious church, distinctly English as it may be, and lacking, for example, in the quality of its apparel, even on that vaunted western façade.
In addition to the (rather unusual for a UK Romanesque church) western door, Saint Lawrence features this very nice little vestibule or narthex to its (more usual) southern entrance.
Unusually mild temperatures are visiting our potion of Upstate NY. We'll take it when the ice melts and the skies look like this! 20170120-DSC_2867
