Another slide restoration of a neon sign, which I've given a green glow too.
The pub in question is in Puerto De La Cruz in Tenerife and was taken in May 1995.

I'm not usually a big fan of reservoirs. I know they're a necessity for providing water to many, but they often scar the landscape and look very unnatural.
However, Simpson Ground Reservoir is one exception I've found.
Although there is a long dam at one end, the rest of the water blends in with the surroundings perfectly. It is a fascinating place, with plenty of knolls and viewpoints to explore. I visited this reservoir for the first time over 10 years ago, and have kept meaning to return over the years.
However, it was only the other day when I discovered a few images of it on a hard drive that it reminded me, so today I ventured there.
The day was murky to begin with, but I think it suited the setting perfectly. I'm particularly fond of this skeletal tree emerging from the water. It's definitely a place I'll return to again as there are many other photographic possibilities in different weather conditions.
Located in Deptford, Sunderland.
This fantastic building has stood unused since the school closed in 1967.

A new one not even in the ground yet and oh so happy with all the rain. One of my favorite Florida native plants.
My favorite Florida native plant. Do you remember the birds playing in them when the sprinklers were on? and now look at the berries. They are hardy and wonderful. Thank You, Jesus.
A July sunset looking over one of my favourite spots. This is where the rivers Trent and Ouse join and form the mighty River Humber. The flatland here in the very north west of Lincolnshire has been flooded to aid birdlife and wild species to thrive. There's also a stunning vantage point as the land rises very steeply with views into the four Yorkshire counties and believe it or not, over to the Peak District in Derbyshire.
A profile of Bart Simpson in Lego. Just in time for the May 1st celebration.
I've photographed this almost year ago, and been playing with it ever since. Yesterday I started to think it's time to let it go and put this on save here.
A much more recent image than yesterday's post. A recent stay in Bandon let me explore a bit of Oregon's coastline that I do not get to visit as often as I would like. One of those trips took me to Shore Acres and naturally, the hike down to Simpson Beach. You could be forgiven for thinking you had somehow spontaneously teleported away from Oregon and landed on some exotic island when visiting this beach. From the color of its water and sand, to the interesting geology ringing it, Simpson Beach is just another item on a long list of gems to be found along Oregon's coast.

Camera: Rolleiflex 3.5B TLR Zenar 75mm f3.5 1954
Film: Ilford SFX 200 Black and White 120
Scanned by Walkens House of Film, Melbourne, Australia
This is the very first photograph I took with my new purchase. It has quite possibly been many years since the camera was used. So I was apprehensive, and of course with film you have no idea until the negative is developed.
The maximum shutter speed of this old Rolleiflex is 1/500 (perfectly fine when film speeds were much slower). But using 120 film at 200 ASA meant I had to be careful not to over expose. I think here I set the aperture to f/16.
I thought I'd start with a celebrity and Lisa Simpson just happened to walk by. Perhaps those bars mean she was arrested after singing this protest song.

My name is Homer Simpson.....My name is Homer Simpson.....My name is Homer Simpson. Will the real Homer Simpson please register to vote! The Obama administration has repeatedly said that Americans are too stupid to understand issues. They liken us to Homer Simpson (I'm honored). However, I do understand the issues and won't be bought off by a doughnut. I'm registered to vote and the liberals are O-U-T!
I'm Homer Simpson and I approved this message!
The Emirates flight I was on had one of those ICE systems for all your entertainment needs including a bunch of movies in English with Arabic subtitles.

Both are single exposures. My simplified star trails technique is explained on page 62 of my eBook. No need to stack hundreds of exposures, like other complicated star trail methods. All processing is done in-camera, using the LENR mode (Long Exposure Noise Reduction), rather than having to do post processing stacking afterwards on your computer — joining together hundreds of single exposures into circling trails!
TECHNIQUE & EXIF: Canon 6D (H-alpha modified) + Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 @ 15mm • LEFT: Single exposure, 15 sec, f/2.8, ISO 8000 • RIGHT: Star Trails. one exposure @ 2520 seconds (42 minutes), f/5.0, ISO 160, using LENR mode.
My eBook, Milky Way NightScapes, gives extensive details on my style of starry night landscape photography. Four chapters cover planning, scouting, forecasting star/landscape alignment, light painting, shooting techniques and post processing.

I just got back from a long weekend along the southern Oregon coast with my mother. She had never been any farther south than Florence so I took her on a bit of a road trip down to Bandon. Our original plan was to go as far south as the coastal Redwoods in Northern California but she opted to just hang out around Bandon's stretch of the coast the full time. Among our stops was Simpson Beach at Shore Acres. I have long loved the unique geology of this beach and have long looked for different ways to photograph it. On this particular trip I was traveling light: just my Hasselblad and a pinhole. I had a 20 year old roll of Kodak Plus-X loaded that I had no idea how good it even was, so I wasn't photographing too "seriously", just kind of poking around with a camera, making photos just for the sake of burning through that roll of film, etc. It has been a long time since I last shot Plus-X so I wasn't quite sure of what I would even get for that reason, let alone the condition of the film due to age. As a side note, film is pretty stable stuff and expiration doesn't affect it as much as a lot of people think. This after all is a frame from a roll that expired two decades ago. I did rate the film at ISO 100 instead of its original ISO 125, but that is a minor change. Black and white films are incredibly stable and I have seen rolls that expired 50 or 60 years ago develop just fine (Verichrome Pan). Color films do degrade faster and the dyes will begin breaking down around 10, 15 or 20 years depending on the brand of film. Slide films are the least stable since their developing process is less forgiving, but if you opt to process them C-41 instead of E6 you will have a better chance of getting decent negatives to scan or print with. Anyway, just some thoughts on expired film.

this week I have taken the Simpsons in silhouette. I carefully balanced them on a piece of wood in the garden and hoped the wind didn't blow them off. the row is just under 3 inches. HMM.
Down one of the streets at Universal Studios, we stumbled across the Simpson family characters posing for pictures. I got this quick snap with a random stranger.
Here's what I would look like if I were on the Simpsons. Pretty scary because it's accurate. Imagine that Scratchy is Rosa. Then imagine some pee on the ground right next to her.
Marg? Yes Marg Simpson!
So up here in the prairied of Canada - only a week early on November 18, 2010, our city had been lucky in not yet receiving our first winter snowfall. For our city, Halloween is the benchmark where we expect snow. Any earlier and its a longgg winter. Any days after without snow - its a blessing.
Well on Nov 18th our first winter storm warning arrived to mark the official arrival of winter. We got 4 inches (10cm). Then two days later another dumping. Then a couple days ago, another major storm dumped. So in the span of 7 days, we received 1.5 feet of snow.
WELCOME TO WINTER!
The cool thing about these snowfalls is the amazing natural snow pile shapes that created from the falling snow and wind.
The picture is a funny example of what I mean. This snow shape built up on a wooden pillar that stands right in front of our kitchen patio doors.
My girls looked at it and thought "that looks like the hair of Marg Simpson!!" So they decided to use a couple pieces of colored licorice and accent Marg Simpson's required eyes and lip features.
I had to take a photo of it for you all to get a laugh.
(All I did with this photo was adjust the image parameters a bit, crop it to focus on just Marg, and I PS removed a background bar behind part of Marg)
