The road passes through a tunnel of trees as morning light breaks through. There is a fence on the right.
Happy Fence Friday!
Another shot taken at Llwyn Onn Reservoir but taken through the trees on the shoreline with some sunstars. Given a lot of sliding and converted to b/w with the IR slider and then further tweaked. HSS!
Der Zauberwald bei Ramsau ist mystisch und wunderschön. Es war morgen und die Sonne schien zwischen den Bäumen hindurch, was ein tolles Motiv gab. Ich musste gar nicht zu stark abblenden um einen Sonnenstern zu erhalten, das Licht war gerade richtig.
The Fairytale Forest next to the city Ramsau is mystical and wonderful. It was in the morning and the sun just came through the trees. It was a beautiful subject. Also I didn't had to completely close the aperture to get a sunstar, the light was just perfect.
like the Nikon 20/1.8 produces :) This turned out to be not such a great sunset location so I turned my back shortly after this shot. Also this was the only moment in over two hours where the sun was peeking through the clouds to capture nice flares.
Sunstar at Sundown... great memories of a Lake Superior camping trip this past summer
Smile on Saturday _ starts with "s"

The sun is now just showing itself really illuminating the fog over the Türlerse and some clouds are reflect on the surface of the water
Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!
You do me (and hopefully yourself) a big favour by pressing L and then F11, to view at maximum size.
The very famous wreck of the Helvetia at Rhossili Beach, Gower. I managed to get very wet knees getting the sunburst through the keyhole of the wreck.
I chose to capture the logo of the car of my wife. This is our first japanese car and we love it very much... as all japanese "stuff", food, culture and so on!!! ;-)
Llyn y Dywarchen has to be my favourite lake in N Wales. I can spend many happy hours taking photos there! The sun was setting fast when I took this shot and managed a double sunstar
St Thomas Becket Church, Fairfield, Romney Marsh, Kent
Apart from Dungeness this church was the other location on my bucket list for this part of England and had been for the last 3 years since I first saw a shot of it. The design and apparent remoteness of it with the water channels all around grabbed me and I've wanted to shoot it for a long time but even in Winter it's a struggle for me to get across for a sunrise.
The small church of St Thomas Becket at Fairfield stands on the edge of both Walland Marsh and the county of Kent. Possibly the most isolated church in the county, access requires sensible footwear and the crossing of a field. The hamlet which gives the church its name is a small dispersed, agricultural community.
In this remotest area of the marsh, the population has always been small and scattered. The land here was drained later than in other areas and due to the Black Death its population never developed in the manner which had been anticipated. The monks of Christ Church Canterbury had been licensed to drain this part of the marsh and thus the church was dedicated to the recently martyred Archbishop of Canterbury Saint Thomas Becket. This church is often listed as "St Thomas a Becket", however the "a" is a Victorian addition.
It has been suggested that the church survives from a "lost" village, of which there are several others on the marsh, but no evidence of a significantly larger settlement has ever been found. In 1293, it is recorded that the church at Fairfield was made of materials that were easily expendable should the building cease to be required for worship. This would suggest it was built on a suitably small scale to serve the limited number of people who lived and worked on the land here.
The road that leads to Fairfield runs along an embankment known as the Great Wall or Great Cordon, an early man made barrier to prevent inundation from the sea. Inspection of the land levels on either side indicate a higher land level to the west, caused by the deposition of sand and shingle at the time when this place was a far marsh outpost. It may assume that the inhabitants of Fairfield were expected to maintain the wall until such time that the land on the far side of the wall was drained, in the 15th century. izi.travel/en/b52d-st-thomas-becket-church-fairfield-feat...
It is sometimes called St Thomas a'Becket Church but the a' was a Victorian addition I gather. I'd shot this earlier at sunset but it works both times of the day so I returned and this was one of the shots I got. pretty much a blue sky morning apart from a bank of cloud on the horizon so I decided to get close, whip out the wonderful RF15-35mm f/2.8 lens and go for a focus stacked image with a sunstar. OK, sunstars are a bit 'cheesy' but I like them and when you don't have much in the sky to work with I think they are very useful.
This may be my last post before Christmas - not sure. I'll assume it is and take the opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas with your family and friends and hope you recharge your creative batteries.

I watched a YouTube video recently that discussed the lens I used to snap this picture.
It's a 7Artisans 4mm fisheye. As described in the video I linked to above there are some quirks with this lens like the odd border around the image circle and the possibility to get lens flare outside of the circle. I managed to get the lens flare he talked about. In post I pushed the sliders to the point where some extra oddities appeared. I need to also mention the oddity of having the top of my fuzzy old dome of a head in the picture. I have to hold the camera like a cell phone otherwise there are fingers in the picture. I don't know if it was the bright sunlight or it's just the way the lens renders but the images seem to have a mirror ball sort of shine them.
