Fog and mist came up after the sun rose and created these beautiful silouettes of the guys fishing in the boat on Lake Sebago.
In looking back through my archives, I came upon this shot, and several like it. I thought it was so beautiful, the explosion of color! This shot was taken between Tomah and Sparta, Wisconsin, on highway 16. We hadn't yet moved back here, but we were in the process. This was on our trip out here to go house hunting! Such fun!
Hope you all enjoy!

As always, my ulterior motive is to get some of the best angular shots on the taxiway of the tarmac. Gotta love the iOS filters! This particular day I was commissioned to remove the trash from an international flight for the cleaning crew and the next caterers to prepare for the next international flight.

**Prompt :**
Plan large cinématographique en 8K d’une savane africaine baignée par une lumière dorée de fin de journée, atmosphère chaude et poussiéreuse flottant dans l’air. Au premier plan, un lion majestueux à la crinière dense et légèrement ébouriffée se tient derrière une lionne élégante allongée dans l’herbe sèche. Leurs regards sont dirigés vers l’horizon, calmes, puissants, presque méditatifs. Les textures du pelage sont extrêmement détaillées : chaque poil capte la lumière du soleil couchant, créant des nuances riches allant de l’ocre profond au miel lumineux.
La lionne, aux traits fins et expressifs, est légèrement en avant, incarnant la vigilance et la grâce, tandis que le lion impose une présence protectrice et royale. Leur proximité évoque une connexion silencieuse, presque émotionnelle.
À l’arrière-plan, une silhouette d’acacia solitaire se découpe contre un ciel spectaculaire, mélange de tons pastel et orangés, avec un soleil bas à l’horizon diffusant un halo lumineux. Une fine lune est visible dans le ciel, ajoutant une dimension poétique et intemporelle à la scène.
Style hyperréaliste avec influence peinture aquarelle subtile mais textures photoréalistes. Profondeur de champ cinématographique , léger flou artistique en arrière-plan. Color grading inspiré des films animaliers de prestige (type documentaire haut de gamme), contraste doux, tons chauds dominants.
Ambiance : paisible, majestueuse, contemplative.
Effets : poussière en suspension, lumière volumétrique, léger vent dans les herbes.
Caméra : travelling lent ou plan fixe avec micro-mouvements naturels.
Qualité : ultra HD, HDR, détails extrêmes, rendu réaliste.

**Prompt:**
Wide cinematic shot in 8K of an African savannah bathed in golden hour light, with a warm, dusty atmosphere drifting softly through the air. In the foreground, a majestic male lion with a thick, slightly wind-tousled mane stands protectively behind an elegant lioness resting in dry grass. Both gaze toward the horizon with calm, powerful, almost meditative expressions.
The fur textures are अत्यremely detailed, each strand catching the low sunlight, revealing rich tonal variations from deep ochre to glowing amber. The lioness, with refined and expressive features, is positioned slightly ahead, embodying grace and alertness, while the lion radiates a quiet, regal strength. Their closeness suggests a silent emotional bond.
In the background, a lone acacia tree is silhouetted against a dramatic sky filled with soft pastel and orange hues. The sun sits low on the horizon, casting a diffused glow, while a faint crescent moon appears above, adding a poetic, timeless dimension.
Style blends hyper-realism with subtle watercolor influence, yet maintains photorealistic textures. Cinematic depth of field , with a gentle background blur. Color grading inspired by high-end wildlife documentaries, soft contrast, warm dominant tones.
Mood: serene, majestic, contemplative.
Effects: floating dust particles, volumetric lighting, light wind moving through the grass.
Camera: slow cinematic dolly or static shot with natural micro-movements.
Quality: ultra HD, HDR, extreme detail, lifelike rendering.

Decided on a big stopper long exposure in this particular morning...very windy conditions meant reflections were not going to be the order of the day.
Deep in a wooded area near the University town of Lampeter, West Wales is an outdoor theatre.
Around it, hidden in the woodland are figures of angels and wood spirits carved from the trees.
