Yes, I turned the saturation unrealisticly high, but this time it was with purpose because I liked the dream like atmosphere. And: the colors were there in the sky, no advanced editing here.

Gangster Duck Tales

Dusk within, dusk without.

An endemic New Zealand species, naturally occurring in coastal settings in northern North Island. It is the smallest fuschia species in the world, growing as a climber or trailing shrub (New Zealand is also home to the world's largest Fuchsia species). The small nectar-rich flowers are unusual for Fuchsia species as they grow upward. They are also a food source for native birds (such as tui and bellbird), insects, and lizards. The distinctive purple pollen often leaves a tell-tale mark on the heads of feeding birds.

Despite being naturally uncommon and threatened in the wild, it is readily cultivated in gardens.

A tanuki, or Japanese raccoon dog, is more dog than raccoon. It's a quiet, nocturnal animal that can be found in most parts of Japan, even urban areas. It's represented in folk tales as two different characters. Older tales depict tanuki as being spirits that can shape-shift, capable of assuming human form or even the form of an everyday object. More modern stories represent male tanuki as womanising, heavy-drinking characters that wear a farmer's straw hat and carry a saké bottle and notebook. The tales say that tanuki constantly need to borrow money and use the notebook to write down their debts. This image shows a tanuki in his usual guise alongside a pot of rice ready to brew his next batch of saké.

The photo was taken on a Nikon D750 using the fabled 55mm AIS f/2.8 macro lens. The shot was lit from the left using a Nikon SB-800 in a softbox and from the right using a Nikon SB-600 with reflector and grid to light the background. A white card filled in the shadows.

I saw the shining Fairy Tale

myself within it's Heart...

And I found a lonely comfort,

Though its magic touched me not.....

Many people refer to Iceland as the ‘land of fire and ice’ but the ‘land of waterfalls’, or ‘Foss’ in Icelandic, would be just as apt. Everywhere you go there are awe inspiring columns of water falling over basalt cliffs, or cascading through old lava fields. So I saw my fair share of waterfalls in the 2 weeks I was over in Iceland, but I think this one was my favourite! This is Gljufurarfoss, a magical waterfall, semi concealed in a cavern, and often over shadowed by its more famous neighbour; Seljalandsfoss. Walking through this canyon is like walking into a fairy tale, it just doesn’t seem real, a really beautiful place.

With such a contrast between the highlights and the shadows I opted for a bracket covering 6 stops and then blended them together using luminosity masks. I’ll pop up a few more shots of this location in the next few days.

Like the image? Press ‘L’ to see it large and ‘F’ to add it as a favourite, and feel free to leave a comment; it’s always nice to hear what you think.

Thanks for looking

"I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something." -- Neil Gaiman

The word 'Istanbul' adds magic to our imagery.

Architecture, tapestry, jewellery, silks, species... all beauties of Istanbul (Turkey) still come to Life in the city.

In its long history, Istanbul has served as the capital city of the Roman Empire (330–395), the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire (395–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1922).

The Ottoman Turks built the Anadoluhisarı on the Asian side of the Bosphorus in 1394, and the Rumelihisarı at the opposite (European) shore, in 1452, a year before the conquest of Constantinople. The main purpose of these castles, armed with the long range Balyemez (Faule Metze) cannons, was to block the sea traffic of the Bosphorus and prevent the support ships from the Genoese colonies on the Black Sea ports, such as Caffa, Sinop, and Amasra, from reaching Constantinople and helping the Byzantines during the Turkish siege of the city.

The city was chosen as joint European Capital of Culture for 2010. The historic areas of Istanbul were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.
