Another photo I took prior to an evening of fishing. I didn't catch anything but did enjoy the chance to take some photographs as the sunset
Low tide at Dana Point. I bought a 10-stop ND filter months ago and have never used it so I finally decided to try it yesterday and see if I could get that silky water look. By the time I got the right exposure settings I was losing the light but next time I'll try a longer exposure. I do love those exposed green algae covered rocks visible only at low tides..
A very windy, blustery day spent at Crawley and Horsham Point to Point held at Parham.
Our wood burner and a hot supper were very welcome when we returned home!
These two photos were taken on two cameras. One was set up on a tripod and pre focussed on the jump in the distance (Canon 500mm with 5D with an intervalometer attached.) I also had Canon 100-400 attached to a 7D which was hand held. With the second camera I experimented with panning. I really like the impression of speed that you can obtain with panning. The results are always a surprise. Using the two cameras together meant I could maximise the opportunity of trying the two differing techniques.

Foggy morning at the Point Cabrillo Lighthouse on the Northern California Mendocino coast.
Its Third Order Fresnel lens was first lit in 1909, and has served as an aid to mariners ever since. According to the nautical charts, it casts its beam twenty-two miles out to sea six times a minute.
I used a KITE to fly the camera.

The tall 9-point buck stops briefly to look at me after chasing a rival out of a small wood and before pursuing him into the next stand of trees.
Ruins of Fort Crown Point, built by British and provincial troops on Lake Champlain in 1759 to guard against French invasion from Canada. A fire destroyed the fort in 1773, leaving only stone officers and soldiers barracks and earthen fortifications behind. During the Revolutionary War the fort was held first by the Americans and then by the British, who abandoned it in 1780, after which it was left to decay. Today the preserved ruins are part of the Crown Point State Historic Site in Crown Point, New York.
The curved building in the background is one of my favorites in Hong Kong.
Taken with the Panasonic GX7 using the 12-35mm F2.8 lens.
This is as close as I can get to a Halloween-themed image in my back-catalogue!
Skeleton Point is on the South Kaibab Trail, at the top of the Grand Canyon's famous Redwall Limestone. It is an ideal location to pause after having been riding out of the Canyon from Phantom Ranch on a reasonably early morning ascent back to the South Rim. It is just over halfway in the return journey. At this point, we've travelled some 6.5 km and climbed some 830m. There's another six or so kilometres to travel as well as climbing another 630m. You can clearly see the twisting trail up the side of the Redwall in the foreground above.
The break gives the mules labouring away under us a chance to take a breather and we riders get an opportunity to see the magnificent views from the Point. Up until then we've been facing uphill and looking at the cliffs close-up, rather than looking at the grand vistas behind us. The North Rim (closed at the time) is visible in the distance.
The relatively flat terrain visible on the mid-right of the image is the Tonto Platform some 370m below us. The Colorado River is not visible, being at the bottom of the craggy gorge in the middle of the image.
The South Kaibab Trail is used by the National Park Service (NPS) to move supplies to and from Phantom Ranch, avoiding the Bright Angel Trail further west. We rode down the Bright Angel and up the South Kaibab.
The NPS currently has warnings on its website about the risks involved in mule-hiker encounters, some of which have resulted in human injuries and mule deaths, apparently from failure to follow the safety guidelines on the part of the hikers.
Zabriskie Point is a part of the Amargosa Range located east of Death Valley in Death Valley National Park in California, United States, noted for its erosional landscape. It is composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago—long before Death Valley came into existence.
The location was named after Christian Brevoort Zabriskie, vice-president and general manager of the Pacific Coast Borax Company in the early 20th century. The company's twenty-mule teams were used to transport borax from its mining operations in Death Valley.
HO scale S13 model built from a long out of production Point One Models kit. I found this buried in an Athearn box at an estate sale a few years back, and still don’t know who built the kit
Marshall Point Light Station was established in 1832 to assist boats entering and leaving Port Clyde Harbor. The lighthouse is a 31-foot (9.4 m) tall white brick tower on a granite foundation. The tower was originally lit with a 5th order Fresnel lens. A raised wooden walkway connects the tower to land. Hit 'L' to view large on black

Was a morning when the sky was just plain, rain clouds were making their way in. Thought I would try a 6 shot pano of the lighthouse. Edited:- work done to the horizon, Thanks Muz for some advise :-)
The Montauk Point Light is a lighthouse located adjacent to Montauk Point State Park, at the easternmost point of Long Island, in the hamlet of Montauk in the Town of East Hampton in Suffolk County, New York.
I visited this favoured site with the dual purpose to check out the reno work that has been undertaken and to find some waders. A little disappointed on both counts. Very little work undertaken since the clean-up last year. The few waders we found were a little too far away for decent pix. But I did come across 5 of these.
Saturday night we tried to take sunset beach photos, but got blown away. It was just too windy. Walking away from the bluffs, we watched the remaining light in the sky and the soft light of the lighthouse.

A shot from the sunset on thursday the 3rd of Feb at Woody Point near Redcliffe. With Bernie.
We were pretty lucky to get some pretty awesome colours this evening. Shame there wasnt much around to shoot except for the jetty. None the less, it was an interesting shoot.
Point Arena Light is a lighthouse in Mendocino County, California, two miles north of Point Arena, California.
It is approximately 130 mi north of San Francisco, in the Fort Point Group of lighthouses. The lighthouse features a small museum and gift shop.
Address: 45500 Lighthouse Rd, Point Arena, CA 95468
Dan and I took a road trip to parts of Northern California and parts of Oregon.
We visited the Point Arena Lighthouse. This was on my list of places to see.
A closer view
The lighthouse at this site was constructed in 1870. The brick-and-mortar tower included ornate iron balcony supports and a large keeper residence with enough space to house several families. In April 1906, a devastating earthquake struck the light station. The keeper's residence and lighthouse were damaged so severely they had to be demolished.
The United States Lighthouse Service contracted with a San Francisco based company to build a new lighthouse on the site, and specified that it had to be able to withstand any future earthquakes. The company chosen, normally built factory smokestacks, which accounts for the final design for the new Point Arena Lighthouse; featuring steel reinforcement rods encased in concrete. This was the first lighthouse built this way.
The new lighthouse began operation in 1908, nearly 18 months after the quake. It stands 115 feet (35 m) tall, and featured a 1st Order Fresnel Lens, over six feet in diameter and weighing more than six tons. The lens was made up of 666 hand-ground glass prisms all focused toward three sets of double bullseyes. It was these bullseyes that gave the Point Arena Lighthouse its unique "light signature" of two flashes every six seconds. This incredible optic, that held an appraised value of over $3.5 million, was set in solid brass framework, and was built in France. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_Arena_Light

Point Hyllie is an important part of the new urban space around Hyllie station square. The development consists of four tower blocks rising up from a column-supported base.
The tallest building is approximately 95 m high, the next-tallest 49 m, and the final two between 29 and 23 m high. The two tallest buildings, the twin towers, will according to the architect symbolize a gateway to Sweden.
The project is a distinctive landmark in the area.
