Not my photo!
A friend of mine in America, Len, sent me this photo yesterday.
I told him that I think it’s a beautiful photograph and asked if it would be okay to post this and his tale on Flickr. He agreed.
I met Len a number of years ago. We both play ‘Words with friends’ (it’s like the game of Scrabble) on their app.
He’s a good friend, and we often message or email.
Len and his wife live in Montana in the summer, and Arizona in the winter.
Len:
“Sunset View from our humble abode of the smoke stack at what was the Anaconda Cooper Co. Smelter where they processed copper, silver, gold, lead and zinc. It was shut down in the mid 1980’s. The stack is over 900 feet tall and the largest free standing stack in the world and is now a National Monument.
When it was in operation I brokered the insurance on all 1600 employees families that worked in the plant and had a claims office in Anaconda just to handle this insured plan. It was a great time in my life and a lot of fun. Many dollars commission for my family over the years. Also a lot of lifetime friendships built as a result. 😁👍”

Taken during blue hour with a Fujifilm X-T5, 8mm f/3.5 lens, this isolated storm put on a good lightning show. I stacked 5x6s frames and lightened in Photoshop. The star trail above the thunderstorm reveals the 5 frames.

South Stack September 2024.
I think this was taken about half an hour after sunset, just before the pink colours "evaporated".

Saw this perched high up on the tree. I decided to use my tc's stacked together, With 1dmkII, 1.4X and 2.0x both Kenko.

Sea stacks and rocks along the coast near Crescent City. A setting sun gives the warm glow and a telephoto lens the apparent compression.
Concrete swirling up the the atrium at Salvador Dali museum, sort of like Salvador Dalí's signature mustache did.
While wandering along the marina, I noticed these stacks of kayaks reflecting in the water. The reflection looked like a painting from my perspective.
Of course, I made a point to look for empty chairs and tea sets to photograph on the holiday....
A few of you seemed to like Zoey Van Goey yesterday, so here's another. Sadly, they are no more, but they left behind some good tunes. This one is "We Don't Have That Kind of Bread": youtu.be/W3h7nmL9PKM
The Snowbirds performing during the 2019 Penticton Peach Festival. In May 2020 one of the planes crashed in Kamloops, British Columbia after a bird strike during takeoff and unfortunately Captain Jennifer Casey didn't survive the crash.
Stacked up – The immense Elegug Stacks catching the last of the day's sunlight before the encroaching shadows envelope the coast..
Also known as Stack Rocks, it's really hard to get an impression of the scale of these two dramatic carboniferous limestone sea pillars from the cliff edge, even though they are some 150 feet high. Located on the on the dramatic and remote south west tip of Wales, access is only possible at certain times across the MOD Castlemartin military range.
The long exposure really drew out the colours of this breathtaking coastal scene.

A sluggish, wet bumblebee (species unknown) afforded me a close-up photo, shot on my smartphone, with a homemade macro add-on lens.
This is my first attempt at focus stacking. I took two photos with my phone, which naturally had two slightly different slices of the insect in focus. I manually aligned them in GIMP, and selectively erased as appropriate.
I know, some people do this a lot and are far better at it than me, but doing it for the first time did give a small sense of achievement.

An eastbound CSX stack train flies underneath ancient New York Central signals and a dramatic sunrise in Buffalo, New York. To my understanding, these classic signals have since been replaced.
Well truth be told, I don't have any fictitious figures lying around the house. I looked just about everywhere and nothing. My friend Helen is hosting the Macro Mondays group this week so I wanted to come up with something for the theme. I decided it was time to widen the search, my son Daniel happened to be home so it was time to see what he had. Well Daniel has all kinds of fictitious action figures that come as models and he assembles. Both my son's grew up in the war gaming world, my one son designs them for a living and Daniel enjoys putting them together. I chose Unicorn, a derivation of the original Gundam, a little warrior ready for battle. I'm good with that and that's the extent of my knowledge so please no questions. I will add you're looking at 1.5 inches from the tip of his helmet wing thing to the bottom of the red marking on the shield he's holding. Shot with one light off to the left and some fairy lights in the back, for my good bokeh friends, sorry no bubbles from the Voigtlander...

Cheese burger with lots of yummy layers for the Looking Close... On Friday challenge: "Food With Layers."
My trusty magnetic measuring spoons, dressed up for Macro Monday.
I had the "clever idea" of putting different colors of water in each spoon, but ended up spilling it instead. But as I started to clean up, I noticed the spilled dye made great color reflections and --- voila!
The spoons are 2 inches long from front to back and 1.5 inches tall.

These massive Limestone Stacks provide home for nesting seabirds for part of the year. They are named after the Guillemot's that thrive here, Elegug being the Welsh word for them.
I visited 3 times during my weeks stay here and got very different conditions. This particular evening the light was pretty good, but the sky was spectacular. I tried a few different techniques, LE, Grads and this one with a circular polariser which gave more emphasis on that sky (Not to everyones taste I'm sure).
I had the place more or less to myself on all 3 evenings, which was a surprise. The dry weather had certainly killed off a lot of the cliff top foliage, but I did manage to use this hardy little plant to provide a modicum of foreground interest.
South Stack Lighthouse, the iconic view for anyone who goes to South Stack, I keep saying I have taken enough, but then think well one more...
