The first time I saw this tree, it was just a flicker out of the corner of the windscreen as I zoomed past, but enough for a second look; on the return leg of that journey I stopped and caught it in magnificent light.
Then another local photographer made something of it on Facebook as well...
So I went back and tried it from a different angle, playing with long exposures ,with this result.

On a recent trip to Asia, I had one last night before a return flight from Bangkok, so I took a quick flight to Siem Reap in Cambodia to visit Angkor Wat, one of the most incredible spiritual sites in the world. Since i had a precious few hours in the morning, I hired a guide to take me to the best locations in this enormous complex of temples. This is one of the most famous ruins, Preah Khan temple, with the massive banyan tree growing around the old temple ruins.
I was so excited to visit here, having always marveled at the pictures of this beauty. I must admit though that I was initially disappointed when I looked over my photos from the trip. They all seemed rather "postcard-y", and nothing exceptional. I had to leave them for a couple of weeks, and only after some time away, and some tamping down of my own unreasonable expectations, I was able to isolate a few that captured the magnificence of the locale as best I could at the time. I processed this one in both color and black and white. There were some pretty splashes of mottled sunlight on the roots which I liked in the color version. I gave my daughter the choice and she chose the black and white version, so here we are.
I'd love to go back and spend a lot more time here, exploring at different times of day and weather conditions. While my guide was totally professional and helpful given my limited constraints, next time I'd do it just on my own, without a guide telling me where to shoot.
I originally planned to capture this in 250 MP using Pixel Shift technology. However, the Main Tower tends to sway by about 5 to 10 cm at a height of 200 meters when the wind is moderate—so classic exposure bracketing turned out to be the more reliable option. The 250 MP Pixel Shift shot looks great too, but it can’t fully show its advantages due to the slight motion.
Next time, I might just need someone to hold the tower steady while I shoot. :-)
This spot offers the best view over Frankfurt and is an absolute must-see if you’re ever in town. At only €9 for admission, it’s even cheaper than many parking garages. Keep in mind that large backpacks aren’t allowed, so you’ll want to bring only a small travel tripod or carry your camera by hand if you plan on going up.
Ah, yes. In the evenings, often I heard—smartphones better than the tripod camera, they are. The young Padawan… hmm, much to learn they still have ;-)

Found this on a Castor Bean plant today, thought it was a stick at first. Ran it through the focus stacker, 1 x 7 at 17 x 13 frame size.
A funky rock formation: also known as the "Praying Hands of Mary", a glacial erratic schistose psammite/semi-pelite boulder left on an now-eroded pedestal rock, now split vertically.
This viewpoint makes the glacial origins of Glen Lyon quite apparent; as if the U-shape valley wasn't obvious enough, in the mid-distance morraine lends its characteristic mound form to Dubh Chnochan and on the slopes of the hill to the left. The vertical orientation of strata in the "Hands" fits with an anticline fold running along the axis into the scene.
Photographically, I'm pleased to have arranged the overlapping hills right in the cleft of the "hands", positioned directly on the upper-right third, the foreground rocks lazing around the bottom of the frame, all taken at 50mm. The mist in the distance outlining Dubh Chnochan and low clouds skiming the distance hills are a bonus.
Not one of my builds but one of my son's. Woody adores Minecraft and pretty much these days all his lego builds are something to do with the game.
No instructions or youtube video tutorials on how to build these, he does enough 'skinning' in the game to make his own textures that he's very familiar with what bricks need to go where.
I've shot this scene several times over the last few years - er, decades - but it remains a favourite location, particularly at dusk or sunrise.
I saw this cluster of trees and small island off the shore of Loch Assynt in passing earlier in the afternoon; by the time I returned it was pitch black night with nothing but a little moonlight to illuminate. A pixel-shift taking the exposure from a base 30s up to 2 minutes made the water silky silvery smooth.
Not yet visible... whacking great cloud in the way... thought I'd take a photo of the clouds as they passed by.
Runied bulding by the roadside, out in the wilds of Perthshire at Sheriffmuir.
Quite atmospheric - a ruined house at the corner of Lady Mary's Walk outside Crieff.
Looks quite nice in black and white.
