i guess it's time to go back to our regular programming of Chicagoscapes and Landscapes...this was the first sunset i shot after coming back from a 2 week vacation...this was taken at the Burnham Marina in the South Loop of the city...one way of capturing a more dramatic sunset is by doing a longer exposure and using an ND filter to be able to set the exposure to at least 10 seconds or longer...in this frame, by using the ND 10 stop filter, i was able to expose this for a good 30 seconds, thus eliminating the wavy, choppy waters, smoothing it out like a mirror and also at the same time gather more light in creating a more dramatic sunset tone...no processing was done except for straightening the frame a little bit...hope you guys like this one...pls.

Nice to be back. We enjoyed holiday and I will try to catch up with your posts. Still lots of editing to do on holiday pics but will post soon.
I took this pic of Findhorn just before we went away. When I arrived the tide was out and the boat in the image was high and dry on the beach. I put my camera bag etc on the boat and waited for the sunset. The tide comes in really quickly here and I just had time to take the shot and make for shore with my tripod and camera. Guess what..!! Camera bag and lenses were still on boat, which was now floating out on the tide. Had to make a mad dash...knee deep in water to retrieve gear...hence the title..."memorable sunset."

A snapshot from an early spring walk in Haukilahti, Espoo. Taken just as the sun was slipping behind the horizon. captured with the newly aquired Canon 1D X Mark II, during a peaceful evening, a scene made more meaningful by the company I shared it with. The air was still, the boats lined up quietly, and everything just felt right. It wasn’t dramatic or loud, just one of those calm, happy moments you want to keep.
One SONG can spark a moment
One FLOWER can wake the dream
One TREE can start a forest
One BIRD can herald spring
One SMILE begins a friendship
One HANDCLASP lifts a soul
One STAR can guide a ship at sea
One WORD can frame the goal
One VOTE can change a nation
One SUNBEAM lights a room
One CANDLE wipes out darkness
One LAUGH will conquer gloom
One STEP must start each journey
One WORD must start a prayer
One HOPE will raise our spirits
One TOUCH can show you care
One VOICE can speak with wisdom
One HEART can know what is true
One LIFE can make a difference.

5/365: The Arrival
Greeted by a sea of rolling white puffy clouds.
Cows grazing the food rich meadows.
Mountains turning shades of gold, red and orange.
The air so crisp and fresh you can feel it in your soul.
An open road… ready for adventure, journey and discovery.
It doesn’t get much better then Colorado in the fall.

Last light over the river Mersey down Wigg Island in Runcorn Cheshire. The low tide reveals the old ruins of old boats left to rot in the 1900's.

More reflections of the Mersey Gateway bridge in Runcorn Cheshire. Nice to get some clouds in the sky for a change, it makes a big difference when compared to mono coloured skies, though the colour did not really catch on this occasion.

Over one hundred people were lined along the Grand Haven Lighthouse Pier, all the way to the end, watching the sunset. . View the largest size to see the cluster of people on the end.
Lake Michigan
The Grand Haven Breakwater lighthouse is located in the harbor of Grand Haven, Michigan.
Grand Haven Lighthouses are two different lighthouses on the south pier of the channel where Grand River comes in to Lake Michigan. A lighthouse was first established there in 1839.[1] Both lighthouses were put up for sale in 2009 under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act.[2]

Fifteen cenotaphs to the Bundela kings and members of their clan are located on the southern bank of river Betwa. These include the Chhatries of Madhukar shah, Vir Singh Deo, Jaswant Singh, Udait singh, Pahar Singh & Others. Most of the cenotaphs are designed in Panchaytan style. They are constructed on an elevated square platform. The Sanctum sanctorum too is square shaped and in the cneter the upper portion has been made angular with arches. The peak of the sanctum, sanctorum is patterned in the Nagar style of temple architecture.
-----Prologue-----
“Seems like you have taken up the best spot already!”, I said in half jest to the photographer right next to me while setting up my gear for the above shot of Zion’s Virgin and the Watchman.
“You got that damn right!”, She said with that unmistakable British accent with no audible trace of jest in her response.
-----Act 1-----
To tuck in the Virgin river’s bend into the frame without backing off on millimeters and the Watchman’s proportion in the shot, I had to move my tripod by about four inches to the right. Problem was, firmly planted on the concrete one inch away was the stern British lady’s equally stern tripod leg.
“Would it be OK if I put my tripod right next to yours?” I asked as gently as I could.
“Yeah fine. Don’t trip mine over”, the flinty voice yielded.
-----Act 2------
While waiting for the sun to obey my wish and light up the Watchman precisely as above, I killed time by serving as an iphone-photographer for a group of three giggling Alaskan college girls (who never paid me my paltry fees of $5, do you believe it?), stretching my muscles in all sorts of shapeless contortions, waving at aghast drivers driving past the hoard of us photographers at 5mph, and talking again to my austere British neighbor.
“Are you from around here? Are you a techie in the Silicon Valley?” She asked me. When I told her what I do for a living, she broke out into a laughter and apologized profusely for stereotyping. From there on, our conversation took on a more manageable course. I learned her name was Mickey. Mickey is not on Flickr but she and her incredibly handsome and devoted husband were traveling the US with one sole purpose: landscape photography.
-----Act 3-----
“Why do we do this?” Mickey asked hinting at all the pain undertaken by landscape photographers (or, faux landscapers, like, yours truly).
“I don’t know why Mickey. I guess, we like chasing the light and stopping time.” The nerd in me was having a field day.
“Tell you what, I do it because it keeps me going. I have lost my son to cancer but all this running around with the camera keeps my sixty-year-old mind and body going. You know?” I noticed a hint of moisture in her eyes reflecting the orange glow of the west earnestly.
“Tell you what Mickey,” I said, looking straight at the unexpectedly revealed segment of her core, “you are damn right! To keep going... That is exactly why I do it too!”
-----Epilogue-----
Mickey, if you are reading this, then here is one more reason why I do it: To meet people like yourself on the trail who somehow have that magical ability to touch others in the span of a moment. Thanks for loaning me a pint of your life-blood to keep my soul flickering.
You will often read about the importance of planning for photography and rightly so as it can make a massive difference to the images you produce. Every now and then it also pays to do the opposite and go out without any preconceptions or care of what images you might come back with or if you come back with any at all, and just go to enjoy the photography. On this occasion, after my first week back in work for what seemed like ages, if I had not gone out I would have probably fallen asleep in the chair, so planning was not an option. Same bridges, same boat wrecks but quite a different feel at high tide. The calm conditions perfect for reflecting what was a pretty nice sky.
Dal Lake is a lake in Srinagar, the summer capital of the northernmost Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. The urban lake is nicknamed the "Jewel in the crown of Kashmir". This wooden boat is called "shikara" and only seen in this region of India. Like the Venetian gondolas, this "shikira" is a cultural symbol of Kashmir.

I chose this title because on this evening, I almost missed a gorgeous sunset all because I was impatient and didn't want to wait in the cold. The sun had just about set, and the sky was still a dull blue with a little tinge of yellow. I took some photos of the sky opposite the sunset, as it had turned a light pink. After I was done, I turned around and noticed the colours in the sky were becoming more vivid and dramatic...Thankfully I had stayed long enough to see such a beautiful sunset. It serves as a little lesson for me to be more patient, because good things come to those who wait :).
