Large boulders in the ice provide access to a wooden footbridge to span the ice to the next bit of solid ground on the far shores of Loch Muick.
Not all is as it seems. The lady of course is part of a poster, but a very convincing one I must say. The compression of the image is due to the long lens I shot this with (from across the street). It took awhile to get someone framed exactly by her leg in that position. The biggest problem were all the taxi cabs which were queuing here (in front of Harrads in Knightsbridge) as they kept getting into the shot.
As the tide sneaks in during night fall, many people become separated from the shoreline when the stepping stones quickly disappear under the waterline
The stones lead to a small island off the coast of West Vancouver.

For a change, this is a new (outside!) photo, taken just a few days ago at the wonderful Britzer Garten, one of Berlin's biggest and most beautiful public parks (please check my album for more "Britz bliss", if you like).
For better dynamic range, I've used exposure bracketing (three images), pre-processed the images in DXO PhotoLab (sharpness and DeepPrime denoising only), from which I directly went into HDR Efex Pro to combine the images. I'm trying to get away from the annual Adobe subscription, and combining images from an exposure bracketing series in HDR Efex instead of Lightroom is one step into that direction. Unfortunately, whenever I think I can finally leave Adobe behind for good they come up with improvements such as the new "supersize" function (now also available in LR), a ton of new presets for LR, and other interesting stuff (and I'm still used to the LR/PS workflow, and the layers in PS). Well, maybe I'll be ready next year ;)
Extra sliding was done in Color Efex, where I added some "Brilliance and Warmth" and a tiny bit of "Contrast Color Range".
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe and have a nice week ahead!

A bull moose entering a small stream in the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming. Ending my wildlife in water series with this bull almost in the water.
The Vestrahorne Mountains are a popular destination in Iceland and one I never tire of visiting, such a photogenic location.

DB Cargo 'Tug' 60044 powers away from Nottingham station after a centre-platform driver change while hauling the 11.04am Kingsbury Oil Terminal - Humber Refinery discharged tanks (6E54).
Couldn't resist including the step-ladders (sadly out of bounds for the photographer), nor the extensive train behind the loco. In fact the train is too long to be contained within the platform loops so it typically approaches the station with a green-light run-through, stopping only for the brief driver-swap.
Aside from the ornate ironwork, which shows up nicely on a sunny day, I was quite taken with the sun-rays beaming through the exhaust on to the platform. Probably more so than any unfortunate passengers having to ingest it.
The trip over here was to see family so I took the pocket-sized little Sony for once. Shutter response can be a bit hit and miss, but I'm still pleasantly surprised at the quality of the images it produces. After doing a few test-shots beforehand, this was set to under-expose by 2/3 stop - which just about got it right.
