Museums are it for me in NY. From the works of old masters to antiquities to contemporary art, there is everything for everybody. If you are at the Met, don't forget to dry by the Picassos. They are the ones you often see in books. Besides, training your camera on the paintings is a perfect excuse to stalk passersby who just don't know that they are my subjects (and not the art). This guy froze on his track when looking at Gertrude Stein. I cannot blame him.

This is a 3 second exposure of Lake Michigan during a period of passing storms. Great night for photos, except for getting my feet wet.
This was from last August while visiting the Apache Junction area. What a storm this was, I got maybe 50-60 good lightning strikes in. The bad part is that the camera sensor was so hot from shooting all day, the images were super noisey. So bad in fact that this was the 2nd shot from that night, and he only good one with little to no noise.
Have a great weekend.

PASSING STORM, by Ottmar Liebert & Luna Negra
Pérgola, at Foz do Douro, on the Atlantic coast of Porto, Portugal. (View On Black)
Sara and I had gone down to Foz because I wanted to capture this pérgola in Foz at sunset. It was the sunset that wasn't. It was a cloudset. Clouds everywhere! And windy! We stayed though, and I'm damned glad we did. I started off by taking more long exposure shots of waves crashing in on the rocky shores of Porto, and I soon found out that I'd had my 28-135mm lens's Image Stabilization (IS) turned on. Here's a lesson for you: if your lens has image stabilization technology—I believe it's called Vibration Reduction (VR) on Nikon lenses; doesn't matter what it's called, the principle I'm about to share is true regardless of the camera brand or what they call it—make sure it is turned off if you've got your camera mounted on a tripod. When a camera is mounted on a tripod VR or IS will actually induce the appearance of camera shake into your images. Turn IS or VR on only when handholding your camera.
This—THIS!—is the sort of photography that I love! I've been wanting to get a photo like this, or reasonably similar to this, of this pérgola for four years now. I first saw it in a photograph before my first trip to Portugal, and now that I've done this and taken a photograph this damned good, I'm just completely overwhelmed with emotion. Seriously. As far as I'm concerned, this is by far the best photo I've ever taken!
Look at this architecture! How could I not be inspired here in Portugal!? Mon Dieu! I want to go back to this place and take more photos of it, and maybe, just maybe, I'll get one with a good sunset, too. :P Maybe next time I'll aim a wide-angle lens at this thing, so you can really get a good look at it. This time, there were clouds. Lots of clouds. Fabulously shaped clouds. And that breeze was strong and wouldn't stop, and when I saw how fast the clouds had started to move, I started to take photo after photo after photo, trying different compositions, different shutter speeds, knowing that the clouds would blur, and looking for something that would just pop out at me. This was my penultimate photo of the evening. After that, 30 seconds wasn't enough to bring out the colour of the sky. Longer shutter speeds were necessary, and I hadn't picked up out of my camera bag the gear necessary for me to take photos with shutter speeds longer than 30 seconds.
Exposure: 30 sec (yes, that's 30 SECONDS!)
Aperture: f/22.0 (small apertures like this give distant lights that starburst effect)
Focal Length: 28 mm (Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM)
Effective Focal Length: approx 45 mm
ISO Speed: 400
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Shooting Mode: Aperture-Priority AE (camera on tripod)
Note: Cropped, colour-balance adjusted. Straight out of the camera, this pérgola was sooo orange-red because of the lights used to light up the columns and trellis-work. This was a pain-in-the-ever-lovin'-arse to get the colour-balance corrected to be as close to correct as possible. This was the best I could do.

Used Ghostbones texture for the background and combined 8 photos to produce the image. Best viewed large.
This is still the second day in Essaouira and I think this picture reflects good an everyday situation.
A poor old man stands by the street and tourists are passing by .. but it is like that .. its just not possible to give everyone money.

Had to wait ages to get this particular shot which I had in my mind ahead of time. Took about 20 minutes in the cold for a tram to arrive and be at the exact point I wanted, was worth it though I think!

Shot in the graveyard of the Ruined Cardross Old Parish Church, Cardross, Scotland. Had a bit of a Scooby Doo moment when some bats came flying out of the tree, I think I was more scared even than Shaggy but that is one of the perils of shooting in the hours of darkness in an ancient graveyard.

As I was shooting the small falls in front of me I heard a noise behind me. I was able to get turned around and set up just in time to capture this person passing through the small window at the end of the stream.
I was so caught up in shooting the small falls I almost missed this shot. Always remember to look behind you, you never know what you could be missing.
