Halnaker tree tunnel, West Sussex
It was a fairly productive Saturday last week as after shooting the West Pier and Shoreham 'Hot Pipe' I decided to stop off at the Halnaker Tree Tunnel to see if if was wearing it's autumn coat. Most years I seem to be there too early and then the frosts come along before I can get down there so I decided to try it later this year and as we've not had any frosts to speak of it was looking quite good. Sun was a little bright which I like for the dappled effect but have just tried out a new editing function in the 2023 version of ON1 which has helped me slightly balance the light.
As well as the 'Honeypot' view from the gate looking down the track I decided to move further up the track and shoot towards the gate (due mainly to the seemingly endless line of people coming into shot just as the previous lot cleared my shot).
I did try to focus stack but there was too much leaf movement so I took one of the shots focused closer in and accept some softness. As I have tried a bit of a painterly effect on the edit I didn't think that mattered.
Thanks for viewing and will try to catch up with commenting on others images asap.

I had a very productive and frantic Saturday and Sunday morning in a couple of favourite local forests... finally me being free and mist came together! I have had a number of compositions awaiting thick mist... and I managed to get a few more shots like this in the time too! The mist could have been thicker at Dalkeith Country Park still... but that was just a function of going there second and it had started to thin by the time I got there. I'll go there first next time... which will prob be in a few years time here as mist like this is soo rare!
No, smoking is not productive and doesn't say much about taking care about myself, but... having a glass of red wine is!
Since being back to work full time in RL, my walks at the park and quiet moments on my own are more precious now, even more when is possible to enjoy the afternoon sunshine.
I'm still juggling to get things done at the same time as keeping everything balanced, so I try to remind myself that is not bad to take time for yourself. ♥

The same morning as my previous post which turned out to be quite productive for me - unusually - normally if I get one photo from an outing then I'm happy but several showed themselves to be decent from this morning (by my standards obviously!). This, when the grey blanket that had descended for several minutes was being burned off by the sun.
First attempt at photographing this elusive Warbler. Turned out to be quite a productive morning.
Like most of us, all I have ever seen is a skulking shadow, and that's if you're lucky in the undergrowth. The song is very distinctive, so once memorized you cant not but hear/identify them. So I followed the call around from bush to shrub to gorse back to scrub. A fleeting glimpse here and there. Seemed like I was wasting my time then I saw the bird call from an exact branch I had previously seen it sing from.
I set up at the this spot and waited. Ignored all the calls around me sometimes very close. Then patience paid off it came back to where I was standing and quite amazingly crept up to where it had been previously. It was too close so I had to step back. I cant believe it was so confiding. It would continue on its rounds flying past me low down within 2m sometimes closer still. It didn't always pop up or to the same branch, however it would return to the same area of scrub/bush.
It seems like you have to dedicate sometime in for this species, observe its movements and try to see where it comes up once it sings. Maybe I just got lucky on this one. However, I will try another one as I think its territory is primarily gorse. To get a shot of that with the yellow flowers would be something special.
It was a special morning this for me....to just wait and the bird to be comfortable with my presence. I was happy for the rest of the day :)
Taken at Swillngton/St Aidens.....I would like to stress no recordings were used as it was reported some photographers on site have been seen using some recording/playback device. This is not my style.
Thanks to all who comment and view my images, much appreciated :)
A productive morning to say the least. A final view of the Three Sisters. It may be sometime before they appear for me again.
rather than try to teach it something :-)

A reasonably productive hay field near the beachside township of Port Elliot, about 1hr 15min drive south of Adelaide. A former farming area slowing being built out by the expansion of surrounding suburbs. In a few more years it will be lost forever when the temptation to sell becomes too great.
[There is a solution - the government buys out the farmer, paying the same price the farmer would have received from a developer - the government then declares the land 'farmland in perpetuity' - saving it for future generations - then leases the land back to the farmer who can keep his windfall from the sale and also keep on farming if he/she wishes, or on-sell the lease to someone else for them to farm the land. Win-win-win.]

The moment I'd been waiting and hoping to capture! The moment that I spent literally hours (in the sun and wind) yesterday waiting for. I knew in my bones that yesterday would be the day the 3rd chick would fledge and by god, I was gonna be there to see and capture it. And I did!!!!
This probably looks like any other avian take-off shot, but to me, it's way more than that. I got quite a few perfect frames right after this, too, before he/she went into a tree.
The fledglings will stay near and around the nest probably for a couple weeks, practicing their flying and landing skills, then dad will start showing them how to hunt for their fish and they will learn to catch their own meals.
Such an amazing process to watch these 3 osprey grow from tiny little dinosaur looking creatures to the beautiful adults they are now. I hope they all go on to live healthy, productive and amazings lives
It's been a while , hope everyone are doing excellent!
Wish you all as always a fun fun fun productive and safe weekend!

Though they are usually a dime a dozen at nearby refuges, Common Gallinules are not common at all on Horsepen Bayou. But on this day I saw no less than five and probably heard a few more so they may be establishing a foothold here. They mostly skulk within the reeds and scurry back when caught in the open. I can count on one hand with a digit left over the times I have seen them fly here, and when they do, it is just a low skip across the water to disappear into the reeds on the other bank. Thus an unexpected highlight of an already productive outing.
Many urban areas in Alberta have abundant natural areas and lie immediately adjacent to productive agricultural or other natural landscapes. Additionally, many urban areas contain river valleys that act as natural travel corridors for coyotes and other wildlife species.

I had a great time in Latvian sea-side with my family. Lots of beautiful moments in nature. Deepness in another level.
I'm glad to see you all have been so productive. See you!:)

A productive day on the Surrey & Norfolk coast yesterday. Very changeable weather conditions, which means I've come away with quite a range of images to share. A lot to get through, but thought I'd post this first, purely because it was straight forward to process. I managed to get a few locations in, and fortunately I had my preferred conditions for the sea front at Southwold. A good swell on the sea, bright light on the pier, and clouds behind, all combined to give me what I wanted for this image. There is a wider view, which I'll post in due course, but I’ve gone for the square crop first.

Calming rays of the morning sun greet Baron Fork of extreme eastern Oklahoma and the truss and deck spans that stand above its gentle waters, atop which a threesome serving rear distributed power duty transition from whining dynamics to traction power to keep their 2CKCSH09 on the move towards Stilwell on Kansas City Southern's undulating Heavener Subdivision. The rearmost two belles were added at Pittsburg, KS, for the difficult terrain to be encountered in Arkansas and Oklahoma, increasing the pulling and restraining forces for these coal loads ultimately bound for one of the country's most productive coal-fired generating stations at Martin Lake, TX.
I had once again a slight non productive month in the way of Photography in November 2022.
So I decided to share a capture from a series I took in Decembre 2022 instead.
One of my hardships in life is that I never sleep. Due to chronique pain in my life... I have gone for years without a healthy amount of sleep nightly. An although it plaques me and is reeking havoc to my longterm health.
I did learn to work with and around this issue.
When the moment I picked up a camera and started to teach myself the wonderful (albeit sometimes hard ;-) ) world of photography.
I found an outlet to release my nightime restlessness of never sleeping. And I found a way to get through the pains of my nights.
And although it's not for everyone... Not being able to sleep has it's advantages when it comes to doing photography. I use driving as a form of therapy to calm the nerves and relax the body. And though even if it doesn't help in the way of pain management... it does allow you to go around at night in the cities, towns and country roads and see things so few people ever see or even know about.
When you add being an avid photographer to the mix... You can capture so many unexpected and magical night time scenes. Or see Nature's nocturnal side alive and well and so wonderfully active, all from the window of your car.
With the added bonus of NO traffic and nobody on the roads... It makes for a wonderful relaxing and visual photographic experience, driving around between the hours of 1am to 5am.
For that (and that only..) I and so grateful to be able to occasionally physically drive myself around at night and capture beautiful scenes such as this!!
Although between you and me... I wish I could sleep too! :'(
Another image from a productive day out to Nottingham visiting family this week.
DB Cargo Tug 60039 'Dove Holes' passes through the station and disappears east with the 12.20pm Toton Sidings - Boston Steel 'pig-pens' (6E02). Meantime, Cross Country unit 170114 stands at platform 4 after arriving with the 9.45am ex-Cardiff (1M60).
Bay platform 5 is to the near right, and currently empty. Once a through platform it was turned into a bay during the track modifications made a few years ago intended to increase the station's capacity.
I couldn't resist exploiting the shape and rippled texture of those 'pig-pen' wagons, and who knows how long they'll be around.
Apologies for the obscure title - those in the know will know, maybe.

Charles, the Prince of Wales and future King of England, wrote an influential book called "Harmony". In it he outlined his vision for a balanced way of life, being completely sensitive to the requirements of a sustainable environment, and also maintaining a productive life. This is a vision worth striving for. Balance and harmony are two words that we desperately need to rediscover in our fractured world.
After retiring from the Australian senate in 2012, Dr Bob Brown decided to gift "Oura Oura" to the Australian people. He did this through entrusting it to the care of Bush Heritage Australia.
Bush Heritage Australia is an independent not-for-profit that buys and manages land, and also partners with Aboriginal people, to conserve our magnificent landscapes and irreplaceable native species forever.
Nature, harmony and a balanced lifestyle. That's what we need today.
A delightfully productive little rural valley near Ashton in the Adelaide Hills, filled with Autumn colours and a dash of sun. The yearly crops include cherries, apples, lemons, pears as well as many other fruits and vegetables, and of course, grapes!
The image is a stitch of 5 separate shots taken on my trusty iPhone 4S and merged using Photoshop CS5.

One evening at Swillington. Not a very productive one, however this tern presented itself just as the sun was going down.
Thanks to all who view/comment on my images, much appreciated :)

Rain, rain, and more rain, but a productive day painting inside. A fire now, and a Laphroaig to ease the evening chill, even though Summer is only 5 days away.
Productive trip to Derbyshire with the Dippers. Will post a couple of portrait shots when sorted, but I am looking a bit more towards habitat shots as well.
Your comments and faves are much appreciated. Many thanks.

To follow: an attempt to prompt a civil (hopefully productive) dialogue about a subject central to photography, most especially, street photography.
I took this photo from a vantage point on the cliff high above the beach. I like a number of things about the photo, the geometry formed by the rocks and their shadows, the pattern formed by the footprints in the sand, the pseudo drone-like aerial perspective, the edge to edge warm monochrome brown colour and most of all the juxtaposition of the dog and the suntanning woman. For me there is a subtle humour to the photo and I chose the title specifically to capitalize on that. However, I knew when I made the photo that there would be some who adamantly believe the photo is an invasion of another person's privacy and that I should not have taken it much less post it in a public forum.
I believe I could make cogent arguments both pro and con regarding this matter (I have thought it through many times and I revisit my thinking any time I photograph people on the street and in public places). I have drawn a personal 'line in the sand' on when and under what circumstances I can photograph people in public (and more importantly when I can't) but I am hard pressed to put into words exactly how I make that decision that will help inform others. I would never knowingly take or subsequently post a photo that I think could embarass/demean/ridicule or hurt in any way the person/people in the photo. I also, in my 'about' section on Flickr, have made a promise to anyone who recognizes themself, family members or friends in my photos to take down any picture they are in immediately on request - no explanation required. Please comment below (in a civil and thoughtful manner) what your thoughts are on the issue. I am very interested in deepening my understanding and improving my approach to photographing people on the street and in public places generally.
A second photo of the same scene is in the first comment box below.

Today I start off a series of images that I took on a lucky productive day. Normally in a series I would save the best for last, but could not wait for this one, so I will post in chronological order as taken.
My plan was to head to Elk Island, and if the north gate was closed I would turn around and head into Edmonton. Well, the North Gate (and the north end of the park were still closed) but instead of backtracking I figured I would take the road that borders the north end of the park. Well I am so very happy that I did. Much of the road has trees blocking the view, but driving past a break in the trees, I thought I saw something. I slowed down and backed up and sure enough, a moose. Well my heart started racing. I took a number of shots from within the car, knowing they may be compromised from the heat of the car, but wanted to at least get something. Sure enough they were all on the blurry side.
I then got out of the car and walked away from it and got about a dozen shots.
I am over the moon getting this one (the best of the lot) She (and I hope it is a she) spent most of the time browsing the ground, so did not give many great poses.
The only disappointing part of the encounter was that as she was headed away and when I took the camera down from my eye behind the trees was a male. I wasn't able to get any shots of him, as he immediately disappeared. And to boot, when processing I found at the very edge of two frames the eye and nose of a calf. I have no idea how I could have missed it. I would loved to have got a few captures of it. But hey I am certainly not complaining. To get a clear view and under some pretty nice morning light, well I am still smiling three days later.
A couple weeks ago a productive Saturday morning saw me make a chase of a U704 out of Dubuque into Northwest Illinois. I didn't know it until I got down around Galena, but there was a meet setup for Scales Mound, Illinois, which would make for a good chase back towards home as a follow-up.
In this view courtesy the aerial camera device, U704 rolls eastward through the picturesque town of Scales Mound on the main. Led by CN 2379, 2999, and 5469 the trio is working to lift the 98 car train up the grade it has been battling since they left the Mississippi River Valley 16 miles to the west. The former Illinois Central main follows the Galena River and it's forks through the scenic Northwest Illinois countryside as the route gains elevation. In what seemed like a pretty well-timed meet, U705 on the far track with CN 3151, 2236, and 8933 arrived only a few minutes ahead of the U704, just enough time to get locked into the siding and allow the dispatcher to keep the eastbound moving. In just a few minutes with the meet complete the U705 would get the light down the hill to continue west.
