Going on a roadtrip in a few weeks and bought a new tripod for the hikes. It's very compact and only weighs in at 1100grams - feels like a toy but it's sturdy as.
It's a ball head with clamp lock legs .. I've been using twist lock legs and a pan n tilt bowl head for a decade or so now .. can literally use it blind in the pitch black - this new one ... not so much.
Practice makes perfect as they say and the 'numbers' for a half decent sunrise were ok on Saturday morning .. headed down to the Shallows (literally 5 mins from home) and got some frames in.
Shooting with the Olympus I rarely use a tripod now, high ISO performance, great stability and fame rate make it superfluos mostly...
Having to concentrate on the tripod proved to be quite disctracting (shouldn't be surprised I suppose) and I did manage a couple of compositions with it without too much cursing 😉
It'll be ok with more practice and on those day trips to Sydney etc its going to come into it's own ..
Alrighty then enough BS from me .. as stated a few frames from a sunrise at the 'Shallows' Bass Point, Shellharbour.

A built Nissan GT-R cold start right before it snowed in Alpharetta, GA. Built by TopSpeed Motorsports.
After a freakishly-cold summer, it’s October and we’ve finally started to burn off the layer of fog and haze and this week has blessed us with some amazing sunsets. This was from Tuesday I think; headed down there after work to get this. I feel so blessed that this is 20 minutes from my house.
Thanks everyone for your honest input on yesterday. I think we both over-reacted. My experience when I see some amazing work is to complement and to ask questions and use it as inspiration to better myself, not to feel rejected. I suppose that was her way of dealing with other things too.
Okay, I’m going to start with yesterday and comment on every single one of your guys photos, it’s the least I can do. And then I have the kids this weekend so we’re going to have some fun! (getting them new reading books, go to the park, shoot a quick wedding, and then have a ping pong tournament in the back yard)
Have a good weekend, and yes that’s a direct order.
An hour or so either side of midnight. Managed a decent star trail sequence before the snow came. You would think its a bit eerie but its actually really peaceful sleeping at the old man of storr.
Starting the week in a nice, short pleated skirt. I have a couple of long ones and other short ones planned for the week and so there will be variety in length ;-)
this area is called great meadow. were it not for this huge and gorgeous and amazing park, sometimes i feel that i wouldn't be half the image maker that i am. i mean: it's a "gimme", a "freebie", a "no brainer", it's "a shoe-in", the place is "a ringer". i would have to do something moronic like forget a memory card or a battery, or drop my lenses on the ground (argh) to not get the shot. so therefore i often think of how to challenge myself by trying to find a scene that all the other 3 million people who come to this park might not immediately find. this is not one of those. although i did wade through a hip deep brook to get to this vantage point, it's pretty much right on the road and shot all day long everyday, until november. alas, after the morning i had yesterday trying to find a new photo, i'll take this anyday! wicked! well here's to a fine and memorable summer to everyone- have a nice day from Maine Usa. -Nate.
An awesome days exploring the legendary Pyestock National gas turbine establishment , hooking up with LED Eddie and AndyK!
This day was great from start to finish. stunning location, playing hide and seek with the guards and dogs, having lunch in the Airhouse and getting in and out without being caught.
roll on the next visit

Mal wieder nicht ganz scharf und eigentlich ein Bruchteil einer Sekunde später, als ich haben wollte.
Zum Start des neuen Jahrzehnts passt es aber.
Guten Start und guten Flug!
Again not quite sharp and actually a fraction of a second later than I wanted to have.
But at the start of the new decade it fits.
Have a good start and a good flight!

We are starting a new season...Autumn, my favourite season. I always start it out by putting out my Fall decorations.
Starting 2nd October Cawthornes of Aston, Rotherham are operating former Powells of Rotherham service No 3 to Ravenfield.

A fisherman has just finished pushing his "gozzo" (typical Ligurian fish boat) into the sea ... now he can start.
What do you do when all you have learned to trust is suddenly taken away? Some of you have followed Rusty's story-that he was rescued from horrible conditions...Then in the last two years, learned how to love again-his new Master...Rusty's new Master recently passed away...Thankfully, a friend took him in, and he now lives with Gwenivere and a lively family...Rusty doesn't know why his Master has left him, and for a while would not eat...Now, he recovers yet another time...His wonderfully big heart teaches me much...
Gwen is more focused, on the left...Rusty needs a little more time...
Are you ready!? The winter sale starts tomorrow! We'll be listing lots of new styles, new colour blends and sizes every day until Christmas Eve. They will be very limited and many of them One-of-a-Kind.

"Everything was black,... and somehow, through it, I heard him calling my name"
Ikeda was 6 on that day, playing with his friend on the roof of the Nagasaki University Hospital,... less than 1km from where the atomic bomb detonated.
Luckily, a few moments before, he had decided to go back down stairs and so was shielded by the heavy concrete walls of the building.
He talked about the horrors, the glass, the dead, and worse, the dying,...
What stayed though was his words about his friend.
Ikeda's family survived,... his friend was not so lucky. His whole family had perished.
One of the nurses that came to Nagasaki with the rescue teams took him in. They went back to Kokura together.
After Ikeda retired, he started talking about his experiences of that day.....
And he started looking for his friend,... he took out ads in the papers, went to Kokura to ask around, and even appeared on TV looking for his friend from that day.
All he found were stories,...
Unconfirmed, so I won't save them here on the internet till flickr dies,....
Suffice it to say that,... some people like Ikeda can somehow come out of a day so horrible in one piece, more or less. They manage to keep going, to rebuild, to move forward, to live,...
And some people don't.
