A moment of calm in the middle of nature’s tangled poetry.
Finding stillness, even when the world feels wild.
The eye has always been magical up close, cat eyes in particular are very fascinating to me. So my cat Luna has once again had to act as a model.

On the pebble beach at Punta del Rio Seco, El Campello, Spain, with waves rolling on the shore and some light cloud picking up some tones just before sunrise.
A Northern Mockingbird pauses on a bare branch, watching the quiet morning unfold. These clever mimics are year-round residents in Southern California, known for their confidence, personality, and impossibly large vocal repertoire.
A calm, documentary-style portrait capturing their subtle beauty.
Sometimes we need to do something to justify our purchase of the DSLR. This is like shooting the same scene with your compact camera and DSLR for comparison.
And then we try to convince ourselves that the advanced DSLR is delivering the better tones and result. I am doing that too in Garry Point.
Although I only shot in JPEG with my Nikon D300, I think it is fair to say it really gives better tones.
Please let me know what you think.
On the other hand, I think most people will find sunset in color more appealing. Please give me your comment and suggestions too.
Happy Thursday!
Luego de leer y analizar las conclusiones que sobre otras propuestas se han vertido en relación al tratamiento del blanco y negro, pongo a consideración esta como mi aporte para esta quincena, espero sea del agrado de todos.

"she moved from long beach down to LA, right now she sellin' oranges by the freeway. i wanna know, "ramona am i the only one? tell me." and she said, "you're not the only one but you're the best bradley."
the city fell away behind them, blurred like a distant memory. under a canopy of soft night and whispering streetlamps, time folded. her hand rested on his back, his arm tightened around her. between them, a kiss—half shadow, half promise. love, found not in silence, but in the quiet between footsteps.

At the Lago Rosa (pink lake) in Torrevieja (Spain) they extract salt from the water. I spotted a 'floating factory' as I called it in the distance and took a couple of close up images before shooting this on slightly wider with one of the wooden posts in the foreground
Very much an experiment. A black and white conversion to which I've applied "concrete" textures. I quite like the milky opaque effect, like an old black and white image that has got tarnished in some way.

This front-facing shot highlights a female Northern Cardinal sitting calmly with her crest relaxed, gazing forward with curiosity.
Photographed in my Arkansas yard, this cardinal stood still long enough for a balanced and centered composition. The soft green background and clear lighting help bring out the warm earth tones of her feathers.
Female cardinals may lack the fiery red of the males, but they make up for it in elegant, understated beauty.
A single wildflower rising from the forest floor, delicate yet unwavering. Among fallen leaves and fading remnants of winter, it stretches toward the light—a quiet testament to the resilience of nature. Even in the smallest moments, beauty finds a way. Captured with the Nikon Zf and 24-120mm f/4 S, edited in Lightroom to enhance the soft warmth of the evening light.
A single stone rests on pale winter ice, surrounded by subtle fractures and muted reflections. The frame leans into quiet tension, weight against fragility.
The O2 (Millenium) dome at midday. Taken with an ND64 filter which lends some fairly pleasing tones to the overall image, as well as allowing for a longer exposure time (considering the sun is just outside of frame, top center).
This image is from my 2012 Project 365 - please check out the entire set and I welcome encouraging comments as well as constructive critique. Also feel free to explore my personal favourites from my overall photostream.
I have done very little with this shot! I wasnt sure whether to upload it but its grown on me. You almost have to view it from afar and then the texture of the lighting and dark shades on the branches become apparent and weave their magical spell.
This female Eastern Bluebird peeked out from her birdhouse, just her head visible in the circular opening. Her eye caught the light, making the moment feel especially watchful.
I photographed her in my yard in Arkansas while she was sitting on a clutch of eggs. She stayed mostly hidden but leaned forward just enough for this quick shot.
Female Eastern Bluebirds are less vivid than the males, with softer blue-gray tones and warm brown on the chest. This one was clearly in nesting mode, alert but calm in her wooden box.
