Finally worked through an image this weekend. Since switching processing methods and not using layers or masks, I've found I can work through waterfall/forest shots in like 15-30 min. But, any other landscape shot takes me 10x longer. I think I must just have a clearer vision for what I want a waterfall photo to look like, haven't gotten there with any other scene yet. Back to this shot, if you're ever driving around Olympic National Park there's a good chance you might drive pass this one. I can't for the life of me remember the name of this falls, but it is in the Quinault area and it is right off the road. Not the greatest waterfall you will ever see, but it had some great foreground material that made it a blast to shoot. Lots of ferns and boulder parting the creek as it cascaded down. The variety of Olympic NP make it my favorite park in the lower 48. Waterfalls like this, coast scenes like my last shot posted, and some of the best alpine areas you can imagine. This is just one shot from a Nikon D800e. Almost all of my work in post was dodging/burning, with a little variation of an Orton effect added as well.

one more look at tonight's Falcon 9 launch from Vandenberg as seen in San Diego. The smaller trail near the center of the image is the first stage heading back to the pad for a successful landing.
The photo is about two person in two different frame which are the windows of a train compartment. The boy sitting beside the window holding his own head don't know the girl and the girl also don't know the boy but it seems like huff is happening among them and no one is facing each other and the sky is crying like a child for their estrangement.

Separation and Isolation
Due to the unexpected down time and try not to get too depressed ( I was going to call it feeling blue :-( I thought I would try my hand at processing this image from Hokkaido. Taken during really heavy snow and after struggling through thigh deep snow trying to find a half decent composition I settled on this as I was fairly knackered by this point. Hope you like it and any comments or critiques welcome — with Rohan Reilly, Charlotte Gilliatt and Gavin Dunbar.
Some of the badlands below Zabriskie Point in Death Valley National Park, with the distant Panamint range foothills in the back.
With "pigs" and double-stacks still draped over the upward gradient, BNSF 6240 and its comrades obscure the sky above them with black exhaust as they fight their way eastbound across one of the many apexes, such as the one here in Maine, AZ, with the former Santa Fe's track alignment upgrades making at least one of their mainline grades slightly easier to tackle on the afternoon of June 6, 2021.
On the lonely stretch of beach just after midnight, this is how the full moon looked over the ocean. The fence was put out there by the Navy to separate this public beach with their Naval base.
I like the balance in this image - the winter light softens the tones, the hint of a path leading you through the scene and over the hill to more interesting views, the subject weighted to the left with the woods to the right... all very pleasing to find on a afternoon walk in Bradgate Park, Leicestershire.
A minimalistic shot of the timeless separation between sea and land. Shot near Embleton, Northumberland.
A study in tonal separation and low-angle grazing light. The horizontal winter sun throws long geometric shapes across the abandoned rooftop, cleanly separating the foreground debris from the soft, low-angle light kissing the crests of the distant rolling hills.

We measure time according to the movement of countless suns;
and they measure time by little machines in their little pockets.
Now tell me, how could we ever meet at the same place and the same time?

A stitched panorama of the Murray River a few kilometres downstream from Echuca-Moama. The river marks the border between the states of New South Wales and Victoria for much of its length, with the river "belonging" to NSW, and Victorian territory beginning on the left bank (on the right of this frame because the view is upstream.
I have been away for a couple of days enjoying the "Serenity" of a "castle" belonging to friends at Bonnie Doon in Victoria. I'm back on deck now and beginning to catch up with commenting on the posts made in my absence. Thanks for your patience!
"HOW STRANGE IS THIS COMBINATION OF PROXIMITY AND SEPARATION. THAT GROUND - SECONDS AWAY - THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY."
Charles A. Lindbergh
Ha ragione, Lindbergh: com'è bizzarra, questa combinazione di prossimità e separazione... Una distanza che è al contempo di pochissimi secondi e moltissimi chilometri.
E' così.
Congiunzione di estremi.
Annullamento istantaneo di distanze in una linea ideale di contatto. Che è un orizzonte.
Prossimità NELLA separazione.
Domenica 18 luglio 2011. Aviosuperficie di Terni.
In questa fotografia, che per ovvi motivi non mi sono potuta scattare personalmente (ringrazio l'operatore con la GoPro), mi vedete nel bel mezzo di un lancio in tandem con Daniele Camponeschi, valentissimo paracadutista, amico, nonché mio collega Accompagnatore di Alpinismo Giovanile del Club Alpino Italiano, a cui dedico questo scatto e queste parole.
L'emozione del volo, la sensazione di cielo in cui galleggi con l'aria che ti investe togliendoti il respiro, premendo con forza sui polmoni; e poi la vista della terra che ti si proietta praticamente addosso nell'istante in cui inizi a respirare con nuova regolarità .
Perché a volte, nei nostri giorni, nel profondo di noi stessi, proviamo un bisogno profondo di volare. Forse lo proviamo tutti. Io senza dubbio.
Qui ho deciso di non aver paura di fare un salto nel vuoto, affidandomi all'emozione e all'istinto; e ne è valsa la pena.
