ABOUT THIS IMAGE
Sunrise at 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 two 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..!!!

I took this photo while out on a long exposure photowalk. It was awesome to be around a large number of other like-minded photographers, all creating amazing work.
For this image, I stacked 13 stops of filters as well as a 3-stop hard grad to get a 240 second exposure about an hour before sunset.

ABOUT THIS IMAGE
You're Welcome, San Luis Obspo, California
This image was made on a Meet Up in Downtown San Luis Obispo, California. I usually make B&W Daylight Long Exposure images, but this Meet Up brought me out of my comfort zone and into the realm of night photography. I found that I enjoyed myself and came away with what I felt were a few “keepers.” This image itself posed some problems. The range of light was extreme and I found myself having to expose for HDR from 6 seconds to ¼ seconds. Other images, not this one, were exposed at either 25 or 30 seconds in a single exposure.

This was the first real flight of my DJI Inspire 1 with the new X5 camera and gimbal. This unit is a Micro 4/3rds sensor which allows the use of several different lens options. The ability to have a higher quality camera with the option of interchangeable lenses on an aircraft the size of the Inspire 1 is a very exciting prospect and I am looking forward to getting out and shooting more with it.
The National Museum of Australia is home to a collection that preserves and explores the social history of Australia. The building is located on the Acton Peninsula on the waters of Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra, the capital city of Australia, and was opened in 2001. It is a colourful building designed around the idea of knotted ropes, which was intended to symbolise that the stories of Australia are not one but many different ones.

A few days ago, at the beginning of December 2024, celebrations televised worldwide heralded the coming back to life of the Notre–Dame Cathedral in Paris, after the accidental and disastrous timber roof fire of April 2019. This joyous occasion was an opportunity to vaunt the vastness of the cathedral.
Well, today and over the following days, I invite you to discover a much-less known, but much more surprising, church, the abbey church of Pontigny, in the equally little known département of Yonne (a part of Burgundy), about 150 kilometers southeast of Paris. There, at the edge of a small village and framed by the tall trees of a dark forest, an enormous vessel of stone stands in the middle of wheat fields, towering above everything else, even though it doesn’t have towers nor spire...
It has two things in common with the cathedral of Paris: at 120 meters, the length of its nave almost that of Notre–Dame (130 meters), and in addition to being an abbey church, Pontigny is also a cathedral... It is also the oldest, as when the first stone of Notre–Dame was laid in 1163, Pontigny was already built.
The abbey of Pontigny was founded in 1114 by a group of monks led by Hugues of Mâcon. For the second time after the foundation of La Ferté the year before, monks of the Cîteaux Abbey left the mothership to found a new monastery. Pontigny thus became and will forever remain “the second daughter of Cîteaux”, an important claim in an order than will number more than 2,200 monasteries of monks and nuns.
Donations flow in. Counting more than a dozen Kings of France among its benefactors, not to mention a good half-dozen Kings of England, the abbey will also give refuge to three archbishops of Canterbury, two of them saints: Thomas Becket and Edme (or Edmund) of Abingdon, whose relics are still buried in the choir of the church.
Built largely thanks to generous funding by Thibaut the Great, Earl of Champagne whose daughter Adele will marry King Louis VII, the church we can still admire today is built between 1138 and around 1150, although additions will be made to it as late as the early 1200s. It is mostly Romanesque, but the influence of the Gothic style can be seen in the latest rows of the nave, and of course in the ceiling, which is rib-vaulted —the first time this architecture was ever used in Burgundy.
During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the abbey will be one of the richest and most powerful of the Western world, counting more than forty priories, vast lands and assorted properties in many different cities. Its library was also famous.
Listed as a Monument historique (Historic Landmark) on the very first list drawn up in 1840 by Minister Prosper Mérimée, the abbey church is almost all that’s left of the abbey, which was severely damaged during the Hundred Years War, then during the Wars of Religion, and finally during the French Revolution.
Since 1954, the abbey church is also the legal seat and headquarters of the “Mission de France” territorial prelature, which inspired the so-called “worker priests” which are quite well known in France. For that reason, the abbey church was granted by the Pope the status of cathedral of that prelature.
I’ve had the pleasure to visit this grandiose church, the largest ever in the Cistercian order, in late May 2024, within the scope of a photographic mission for the Fondation pour La Sauvegarde de l’Art Français, one of the not-for-profit organizations I work for as a pro bono photographer. I was given access to what’s left of the cloister, a part which is normally off-limits.
They praise the light in Notre–Dame of Paris, but what about the Romanesque light in this abbey church-cum-cathedral?

testing the free trial version of "Silver Efex Pro"
I definitely did not take many photos in Colorado over Christmas, while I was there. Ended up getting sick, so decided to stay in and rest most the trip. Need to stay healthy for my upcoming Hawaii trip!
I did get out one day though. My buddy Matt and I met up and decided to rush to a spot for sunset. We were in a terrible spot and had no time to think about relocating, so we made due. Now that I actually have had time to process this shot, I am way happier then I thought it was going to be. This is Capital Peak, with an incredible cloud forming over it.
Back in SF for a week then off to Hawaii for some warm weather and lots of shooting! Going to have to make the drive back to Colorado end of January though. Definitely did not get to shoot snow like I wanted to. Have so many ideas and shots I want to do there in the winter.
Most of my contacts are aware that i am so fascinated with this place,I keep going back to it, time and time again
Unless you live under a rock, you're probably pretty familiar with this view. Whether you've seen it in person, or through the thousands of photograph's taken from this area.
While I wanted to see the view for myself, I didn't really have any intentions on bringing my camera with me. The fog was pretty heavy and the day as a whole was pretty dreary. Since I brought my camera with me in the car, I figured it would be a waste to not take a few images while fighting to stake my spot amongst the hundreds of tourists with their selfie sticks.
The color file wasn't doing anything for me, so I played around with it a little bit in monochrome and I'm pretty happy with the result. Even though I'm sure you have seen this vantage point before.

ABOUT THIS IMAGE
Flowing Falls Into Froth Like Lace
McWay Falls in Big Sur, California is an incredibly scenic waterfall. McWay Creek drops 84 ft. off a cliff onto the beach nestled in a pretty little cove. The overlook view of the cove where the waterfall drops, is stunning to say the least. Unfortunately, you cannot get down onto the scenic beach (legally), as the cliffs are too crumbly and dangerous to descend (and if you try it, be prepared to receive a very hefty fine). I think, though, if it were possible to get down to the beach, this waterfall would lose something of its grandeur and mystique. The view is stunning, and the waterfall is alluring and out of reach. It adds to the beauty in my opinion.
The great thing about McWay Falls is that it flows year-round. The waterfall is fed from underground springs on McWay Creek, and the waterfall thus has constant flow throughout the year (though of course, the flow is stronger in the spring).
The path continues past the waterfall a short distance to some ruins of an old stone "waterfall house", owned by Lathrop and Helen Hooper Brown in the 1940s. Not much is left of the house, but it is an interesting site. The park was named after Browns friend, Julia Pfeiffer Burns, who was a pioneer and cattle ranch owner in the Big Sur area. There is also an awesome view of the Big Sur coastline in the other direction. The entire Big Sur coastline is outstanding. The best photo opportunities of McWay Falls and the coastline are at sunset. I highly recommend being at McWay Falls at sunset, though it is a popular place for other photographers and sunset gawkers.
This image was taken on day one of the "rising" before the "shine" at 3am to catch the light with my Palm beach Photographic Centre's workshop with the Buffalo Bill Center in Cody Wyoming.... An hour and a half drive fueled only by the french press cup of Peet's ((the 50/50 blend Arabian Mocha Sanani/French roast I have found makes the best cup of coffee I have ever had.) AND yes I do travel with a grinder and whole beans and a french press). This image was shot on June 21st, the longest day of the year and that far north Sunrise comes really early. Must admit every one of us forgot how tired we were when we saw this.
Image wast taken with a D610 with a 24-120mm Nano coated VR lens recorded to a 128GB Lexar flash card used post processing with Capture NX 2 then Photoshop CC and Nik Colorefex 4.0, Induro C414 carbon fiber tripod and BH3 ball head
