This is a stacked version of "Thunderstruck" with other photos taken before and after the original photo. I combined them in Photoshop CS4 using a Star Trails action. Final processing done in Lightroom 2.
Another example of the great power of lightning in the mountains in Colorado. This storm was parked over Gunnison, CO on the night of September 12th. I was traveling from Creede, CO back to Gunnison, when near the Powderhorn Guest Ranches, I saw the lightning lighting up the dark night sky. Surprisingly, this was taken around 8:10pm. Surprisingly dark for that night, oh well the days are definitely getting shorted as fall approaches.

Elle levait davantage ses bras, et lui, avec une poussée plus forte, enfonçait son visage dans leur creux. J'étais obligé d'être le complice de cette profanation. J'étais obligé d'être spectateur de ce déhanchement inouï; d'assister à l'alliage forcé de ces deux êtres, dont un abîme incommensurable séparait les natures diverses...

Rome, Italy (June, 2013)
Uno de los lugares donde me gusta ir a pasear, se respira tranquilidad. El sábado volveré a hacer el recorrido, desde mi casa hasta el Parque y el puerto Olimpico, un camino tranquilo para pensar y oir música. Hace unas semanas estaba en este lugar, si os fijáis, entre el hombre de los globos y el tio de la mochila, al fondo y sentados en posición de loto, hay unas personas meditando, son una secta u organización china, que denuncia los crimenes y torturas en ese pais, no recuerdo el nombre, tenían numerosa documentación para que la gente la leyera, en ese momento sonaba en mi reproductor, entre Aerosmith y Bob Seger esta cancion:
"Una vez tuve una chica, ¿o debería decir, que ella me tuvo a mi ...
Ella me mostró su habitación, no es buena madera, noruega?
Ella me pidió que me quedara y me dijo que me sentara en cualquier lugar,
Así que miré alrededor y me di cuenta de que no había una silla.
Me senté en una alfombra, esperando mi momento, bebiendo su vino
Hablamos hasta las dos y luego me dijo: 'Es hora de dormir "
Me dijo que trabajaba por la mañana y empezó a reír.
Le dije que yo no y se metió a dormir en el baño
Y cuando me desperté, estaba solo, este pájaro había volado
Así que encendí un fuego, ¿no es buena madera, noruega."
Pobre John... se le marcho la chica por la ventana y sin despedirse, que falta de respeto Mary... no le volvió a pasar creo..

Photo taken at the Shelly Beach - Manly and I still remember that morning, it was adventure as Mick G9 promised. I was never fan of HDR photography but sometimes we need to experiment and Michael Lynch was kind enough to be still for couple minutes till I take 10 different exposures and this is the product. Dark side of HDR is high noise, once when I started to correct noise I lost clarity...bugger...I hope you like..

A beautiful day - but I've been working, so this is a distracting dream - sailing on the Severn.
To get compressed view of waves and give the boat its central focus (it was some 200 yds off shore) the image was taken at full extension (135mm) and widest aperture at that length (f5.6) and fastest shutter possible without reducing ISO speed and on tripod, to get sharpest image; then cropped tight and some processing (Picasa2) to cut down on haze and highlight shadows and produce richer colours.
The spectacular view of geothermal landscape in Landmannalaugar.
Landmannalaugar (Icelandic, meaning the people's pools) is a region near the volcano
Hekla, one of Iceland's most active volcano; over 20 eruptions have occurred in and around the volcano since 874. During the Middle Ages, Icelanders called the volcano the "Gateway to Hell.
The Landmannalaugar area is a popular tourist destination and the area displays a number of unusual geological elements, like the multicolored rhyolit. The many mountains in the surrounding area display a wide spectrum of colors including pink, brown, green, yellow, blue, purple, black, and white. Two of the most popular mountains among hikers are Bláhnúkur (meaning "blue peak") and Brennisteinsalda. (meaning "sulphur wave").

I saw these two slowly walking arm-in-arm on the opposite side of the road to me, so I patiently waited for them to walk into my mind’s eye frame in a shop window. But, at the last moment, they paused and crossed the road, walking right towards me; their eyes fixed on the display in a window immediately over my left shoulder.
My initial reaction when they stopped before my originally imagined scene was ‘Grrr…’ But, clearly, some pictures are just meant to be.
[Note: If you look carefully, you’ll see the woman closest to me has just become aware of my presence, and moments later she yanked her handbag up to cover and face and the whole scene quickly degenerated into laughter. : )]

Here the winds are very strong so you can also appreiciate the magical view,the surfing going on as well as the lovely view of the the sea the the neaerby hills of Sintra --- indeed a magical place to relax and enjoy the best that summer (and not only) has to offer ... a magnificent view of the coast of Portugal in this case a few minutes from home (Lisbon)... I hope you will share with me this view and virtual "joy" ... (beware strong waves and cold water) ---
Also this is for dear friends who have come here and enjoyed this special place ....(as well as those who might come or just those who like the "scene") what is better at the " almost end of summertime " than to eat great seafood and hear the waves of our great ocean as well as a great view?! ..

The title of this work was chosen because we had such a great time in the Ardennes during our one week vacation with our two kids. This shot - along with a whole series of landscape shots - was taken during a very hot afternoon when I had a change to get a few hours of my own in this valley, walking and bathing in the middle of this small and cold streaming river called the Ourthe. In the meantime trying some tricks with my filters, long exposures and other lenses.
This 20 seconds shot was taken with my ultra-wide Tokina 12-24mm at 12mm with the B+W 110 ND attached.

In the 17th century, Sultan Ahmet I wished to build an Islamic place of worship that would be even better than the Hagia Sophia, and the mosque named for him is the result. The two great architectural achievements now stand next to each other in Istanbul's main square [...].
Inside, the high ceiling is lined with the 20,000 blue tiles that give the mosque its popular name. Fine examples of 16th-century Iznik design, the oldest tiles feature flowers, trees and abstract patterns. The overall effect is one of the most beautiful sights in Istanbul. The Iznik tiles can be seen in the galleries and and on the north wall above the main entrance. The remaining tiles, which have a less delicate design, were made in Kütahya.
The interior is lit with 260 windows, which were once filled with 17th-century stained glass. Sadly, this has been lost and replaced with inferior replicas.

Photo prise à la forteresse de Râşnov. Ces touristes étaient posté au point le plus haut de la forteresse et admiraient le paysage. Je les ai repéré et j'ai attendu qu'ils aient une attitude photogénique :) J'ai titré "commander of the clouds" mais je crois qu'il disait "Mon intuition me dit qu'on aura une bonne bière dans le bistro qu'on voit là bas !"

Taken at the Râşnov fortress. These tourists were standaing at the higher point of the fortress. I spotted them and waited that they have a photogenic pose :) I choose this title but i think the guy was meaning "My intuition tells me we'll have a good beer in this pub down there".

This one is for ARNEL aka LENAREH, Pinoy Kodakero's poet laureate. Perhaps what I appreciate more about Arnel is his ability to see the lighter side of life. I truly enjoy the simplicity of his view on life as expressed in many of his images. I have enjoyed his “can you guess” posts, his blue sky set, his food and sari-sari shots. His stream is full of treasures which can certainly make you smile. And Arnel is generous. He almost always never leave my stream without a few simple verses of encouragement, sometimes of humor. I feel honored to be his friend and godmother to his young son, Nico. And I am looking forward to meeting him and his family in person and spend some time exploring and shooting some of the beautiful places in the Philippines in October.

The wispy seed heads of the Pasque Flower are attractive in their own right.
[...], another common name for Pasque flower (or "Pasqueflower") is "Easter flower." Pasque is the Old French spelling for "Easter," and it is around that time of year that the plant blooms, in some regions. According to Botanical.com, the famous herbalist, John Gerard, "informs us that he himself was 'moved to name' this the Pasque Flower, or Easter Flower, because of the time of its appearance, it being in bloom from April to June."

Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex
Schacht XII/Shaft XII
explored
Highest position:
#303 on Saturday, July 18, 2009
The Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex is a large former industrial site in the city of Essen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It has been inscribed into the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites since December 14, 2001 and is one of the anchor points of the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
The first coal mine on the premises was founded in 1847, mining activities took place from 1851 until December 23, 1986. For decades starting in the late 1950s, the two parts of the site, Zollverein Coal Mine and Zollverein Coking Plant (erected 1957-1961, closed on June 30, 1993), ranked among the largest of their kinds in Europe. Shaft 12, built in Bauhaus style, was opened in 1932 and is considered an architectural and technical masterpiece, earning it a reputation as the "most beautiful coal mine in the world".
After it had been closed down in 1993, the coking plant was planned to be sold to China. The negotiations failed and it was subsequently threatened to be demolished. However, another project of the state of NRW set the coal mine on a list of future exhibition sites resulting in first gentle modifications and the cokery also became an official memorial in 2000.
On its 25th session in December 2001, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared both the sites of the shafts 12 and 1/2/8 and the cokery a World Heritage Site.

After a few posts from other parts of Brazil, I am continually drawn back to my favorite location there, Iguazu Falls. The name "Iguazu" comes from the Guarani or Tupi words y [ɨ], meaning "water", and ûasú [waˈsu], meaning "big". wiki That said, I'd be hard pressed to not call this place "land of the waterfalls" or "terra das cachoeiras".
This is a 6 shot vertical pano (w/reverse ND Grad) taken 10 mins. prior to and up stream from this post. With the nice light, I was really hoping this pano would turn out. You can see all of the mist, so I was kept busy wiping off the lens in between shots. I couldn't get Photoshop to stitch these together, so after numerous tries I went a different route and am very glad I was able to salvage it.
Thanks for looking!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comments and constructive criticism always appreciated.
This is a good example to show how cold it was in the mornings...
We got up early to rent snowshoes for some back country hiking. There were only 10 pairs available in total, so we had to get there early enough to grab some...
On the way to the trailhead, we saw a tree out in a snowfield glowing bright white. We slowed down and eventually parked the car. It was a tree covered in ice crystals. It looked absolutely beautiful. I had to get close to take pictures, but on the first step trying to reach it, my foot sunk deep into the snow.
That's where the snowshoes came inn... I have never tried it before, so I was awkwardly strapping those things on to my feet and started wading into the snow. I still sunk in a little bit, but it was much more comfortable.
The tree was amazing. It was radiating light from the early morning sun. I took a couple of pictures from different angles. This one I liked the best, because you can see the snow field sparkling in the background. I really like how the background is out of focus and it almost looks like snowflakes are falling.
All the crystals were gone when we drove past the tree again later in the day. I think they only lasted for a brief moment before the sun melted them away.

Lower Broadway, Aug 2008 - 04
This was taken from the north side of Broadway at Howard Street, looking south; I thought the young woman made an interesting silhouette as she sat by herself.
I had to look, back and forth, several times at this picture and the previous one, to convince myself that it really is the same young woman. The couple previously sitting to her left has disappeared, and the lower background immediately behind her doesn't really look quite the same. But the other details -- shirt, haircut, purse, etc. -- are the same. And besides, I was there.
In any case, I think this is the more interesting of the two pictures.
Notwithstanding my own opinions on the topic, this photo was published in an April 8, 2009 blog titled "Woody Allen vs. American Apparel.." It was also published in a March 3, 2011 blog titled "Check out the upcoming Gender, Sexuality, and Urban Spaces Conference Mar. 11-13!"
Moving into 2012, the photo was published in an Oct 24, 2012 blog titled "American Apparel opens biggest international store in Beijing." It was also published in an undated (late Oct 2012) blog titled "17 Interesting Pictures of Billboards."
Moving into 2014, the photo was published in a May 18, 2014 blog titled "Women in Three Dimensions."
Moving into 2015, the photo was published in a Feb 23, 2015 blog titled "THE PROBLEM WITH SEXUAL INEQUALITY AT EVERY LEVEL."
**********************************
On a bright, sunny Wednesday afternoon, I ventured down to 23rd Street and 6th Avenue to drop off my laptop computer for a repair job. Afterwards, I thought I would walk over to Broadway and stroll up the street to see if I could find some interesting pictures; and then I got the crazy idea to take a cab down to the very end of Broadway -- near the Staten Island Ferry -- and walk all the way up Broadway to my neighborhood on 96th Street.
But then I decided that Broadway probably wouldn't be very interesting until I reached Canal Street ... so I had the cab-driver drop me off there, and began my walk northward. Who knows how far I would have gotten if I hadn't been distracted by a lively farmer's market in Union Square -- on 14th Street? Anyway, there's much more of Broadway to cover, and if I have the time and energy over the next few months, perhaps I will cover the entire length of this longest street in New York City, which extends all the way through Manhattan, Bronx, and into Yonkers...
It's sometimes surprising what's hiding behind a dreary winter sky. This was taken at the Black Butte Dam overlook. Visibility was limited due to the weather but I was intriqued by the position of the rock facings and the trees and decided it was worth a shot. Backlighting and layering helped bring out the colors in the sky and then I used a texture called pink spotlight from pareeerica www.flickr.com/photos/8078381@N03/ .

A few days ago, I was talking to a fellow photographer friend who i met on here through myspace and we were talking about, well, photography. I asked what inspired him and he replied "My uncle's couple photography." he then sent me the link to his site, and my goodness, I've been staring at his pictures forever. They're so beautiful. He captures couples so well. I can look into their eyes and truly see the love they have for one another. God and love are my biggest inspirations. Because God is love. God brings love. And love brings everything else: happiness, joy, peace, laughter, unity. It takes my breath away.
I'm really excited for my self portrait assignment. Yikes.
it involves me running in a white dress with balloons in a big green field. I can't wait.
we'll see how it goes (:

I must say I love this girl right here more than anyone could ever know. She has the sweetest heart of any person I have ever met. She is not only gorgeous, but loving and giving. I miss her dearly as she lives 800 miles from me. I wanted to take a pic of her on my quick trip home. I sort of forgot about it until the light was gone, but we headed out to a park and I snapped off a few. I love you Mae Mae!!
Funny how everyone says we look so much alike, when neither of us really see it. We are so very very different in everything.

Se encuentra situado en una colina, y a sus pies pasa el río Matarraña. Rodeado de altas montañas y de pinares. Una de estas elevaciones es Peña Aznar o La Caixa, con forma de mesa (1014 m.). De entre los elementos que definen el paisaje de Valderrobres, pocos son tan característicos como esta roca con forma de antigua caja de caudales, visible desde casi cualquier punto del territorio. La historia asociada a ella es asombrosamente antigua. Restos encontrados en la cima, nos dicen que ya era conocida en tiempos de los iberos, pero su importancia como elemento definitorio empieza en tiempos de la dominación musulmana, cuando algunas fuentes empiezan a asociarla con el Conde Aznar Galindo, fundador del condado de Aragón. según parece, él mismo, o más posiblemente alguno de sus continuadores toma “la caixa” como punto estratégico desde el que dirigir sus ataques a las posiciones musulmanas. Desde entonces será conocida como peña de Aznar Lagaya, siendo este último termino una deformación del vocablo medieval que definía precisamente una caja. Acabada la reconquista, Alfonso II en su documento de donación al arzobispado de Zaragoza, llama al valle en el que hoy se asienta Valderrobres “Valle de la peña Aznar lagaia” definiendo con ella todo el territorio. En los siglos posteriores, La Caixa ha ido acumulando leyendas e historias a su alrededor y ha sido desde refugio de pastores hasta objeto de culto pagano, llegando hasta el presente y siendo el mejor testimonio de las raíces más antiguas de Valderrobres y también de Beceite, municipio vecino, que comparte la mitad de la peña con el municipio valderrobrense.
Se entra al casco antiguo por un puente gótico sobre el Matarraña, Difícilmente podría Valderrobres tener una entrada más espectacular que la que le brinda el impresionante puente medieval y el portal de San Roque. Pieza fundamental de su arquitectura e imagen perfectamente reconocible allí donde se mencione el pueblo. La construcción del puente parece estar asociada a la de sus murallas, así que podríamos fechar el inicio de las obras para construir el mismo en torno a 1390, con la petición que el arzobispo Garcia fernandez de Heredia hace ante Juan I para construir dichas fortificaciones. Mucho más difícil seria afirmar con seguridad la fecha de su conclusión, seguramente a principios del siglo XV y estando Valderrobres bajo la prelatura de Dalmao de Mur responsable también de las plantas más altas de nuestro castillo. Se trata de un puente completamente medieval, de cuatro agujeros, extremadamente sólido y provisto de tajamares en forma de cuña pensados para protegerlo de fuertes riadas y evitar la acumulación de troncos. En el siglo XVI se asienta sobre su último tramo el ayuntamiento, modificando por tanto el aspecto del puente en su tramo final al conectar con la plaza. El puente atraviesa la antigua puerta principal de acceso al recinto amurallado. A finales del siglo XVI este portal fue consagrado a San Roque, protector ante las epidemias y Patrón de la población, quedando hoy en día como uno de los portales mejor conservados de todo el conjunto.

When I was shooting this, my friend said he could see what I'll make of it.... I hope this doesn't fall short of what he expected me to do...
and BTW, for those of you who have been unfortunate enough to see the previous upload, this is the storm that I was talking about.. hehe... :P :D
This is going straight to my portfolio coz this defines me as a photographer and the kind of work I like.
Hope you all like this....
And yes, I'm so touched by all your comments/faves/views on my stream, I read them over and over again inspite of the training that has me running most of the time....
I dedicate this to Ambuj Bhaiya, the one who believed in me so much that he bought and sent me the SLR that I wanted from Japan (My KissX2) inspite of me repeatedly saying "No, That'll be too much." and to Papa, who said, "Go, touch your dream. I'll take care."
I could have done this at the time when I posted my first shot from the SLR. But I was waiting for The photograph that could do what it was supposed to.
Love

Two vertically shifted images shot with the 24mm TS-E lens, stitched.
Each image shot with the new Formatt Hitech Filters Firecrest 16 stops IRND filters, no stacking.
Exposure time: 241 seconds for each image @f/8.0
The next photos in my Visual Acoustics architecture series will all be shot with the new Formatt-Hitech Firecrest 16 stops IRND filters. Why? I already wrote a review on that a few weeks ago on my blog, and I can tell you again that there’s no colour cast at all, not even when shooting in poor light conditions and that the accuracy is very high and that there’s no vignetting with the circular filters, simply because they’re so thin and you don’t need to stack, but I’m not going to say that again. Just look at all the other reviews by independent photographers or read my review here or convince yourself. And if you're interested in how to create images like this, then all this is explained on my website and also in my book that you can find on my website.
