I love a fine crescent moon. This is perhaps the best I've ever caught on camera: barely 2 days old, 7.4% illumination, a super-fine crescent with hints of reflected earthshine illuminating the rest of the disk an ever-so subtly lighter shade of blue against the blue sky.

Another experiment with depth in my favoured beech woods, the West Woods of Ethie.

It's funny how we remember particular shapes and forms yet without any name. I could find this pair of tree-trunks and appreciate the wishbone shape on a foggy day, but describing it to anyone else is near impossible.

Für das Bild habe ich Pixel Shift (Stativ (Bew.-Korr. Ein)) an meiner Pentax-Kamera eingeschaltet. Die Dateigröße (RAW) betrug anschließend 117MB. Normalerweise liegt sie bei circa 34MB. Gefühlt besitzen die Bilder dadurch einen höheren Dynamikumfang. Mehr dazu hier: www.photoinfos.com/Fototechnik/Kameras/Pentax-DSLR/Pentax...

Crossview (X-View):

Gently cross your eyes and focus on the middle image that appears while ignoring the outside. With practice you should see depth (3D).

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.

I got to take a quick weekend trip to hang out with family at Grand Lake. Decided to go check out the docks before bed and try out a long exposure with pixel shift. Pretty darn impressed! Noticeably nicer IQ than the single image shot.

Cardiff Bay (Welsh: Bae Caerdydd) is the area created by the Cardiff Barrage in South Cardiff, the capital of Wales. The regeneration of Cardiff Bay is now widely regarded as one of the most successful regeneration projects in the United Kingdom. The Bay is supplied by two rivers (Taff and Ely) to form a 500-acre (2.0 km2) freshwater lake around the former dockland area south of the city centre. The Bay was formerly tidal, with access to the sea limited to a couple of hours each side of high water but now provides 24-hour access through three locks.

I was waiting for a sunset, but i've got clouds instead...

There's more to Amulree than just a junction between the A822 and the Glen Quaich road.

There's been a church in the hamlet (Cill Ma-Ruibhe, originally on the north side of the River Braan) since the Middle Ages, taking its dedication from St Maelrubha. The current building was erected between 1743 and 1752 with a brief break in 1745. Its bell was cast in Belgium in 1519.

The church contains records of local people emigrating to Canada, mostly North Easthope, in the early 19th Century.
