Yesterday was one of those rare days when the midday color was actually richer than the morning color. Everything just seemed to be deeply saturated, and I actually had to reduce saturation some after fusing the three exposures here. Circular Polarizer helps reveal the interesting rocks beneath the water's surface. Please look at this one large...it makes a big difference!

Just a sneak from an author's portrait session I did one morning.
I love typewriters. I love the possibility of words.
Yes. I can confirm that walking back up to the street it does feels like it's a Thousand Steps!

I've been asked by a number of people to share more of my Arizona photos, so I've got a new article and photo gallery called "Picturing Arizona". It highlights the unique beauty of the Southwest along with a few tips for making the most of shooting there. You can read it here: bit.ly/picAZDLA The silhouettes of the saguaro cactus (only found in the Sonoran Desert) are one of the great gifts to photographers. There are few things in nature that silhouette as well. Nothing quite like being out on the desert and watching the sun rise!

Tension is one of the most important elements of a photograph. Storytelling requires a protagonist and a narrative. I really liked the tension here. In my roaming during this difficult season for photography, I found something I liked. It was a dried weed sticking out of the tangle in front of a little mound (calling it a hill would be exaggeration) with a tree at the top of it. This allowed me to get low and get an angle that allowed the dried weed to stand out in stark contrast to the rest of the scene beyond. The little weed standing out from the dominating tree at the top of the hill. The tension is the aspiration of us all; we want to become more than what we are. This shot also shows off the nice magnification, color, and bokeh of this inexpensive prime lens from Tamron. My review content is here:

I'm not entirely sure what was keeping Fyero so intently focused when I shot this the other day, but something certainly had her attention, and it was not me.
That's okay though, I think this came out quite nicely and she looks adorable being so fixated on whatever it was.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

A delicate sunset fading to blues. A dock out into what appears to be the sky...and my favorite element, the life preserver and coiled rope. Ingredients for an image that I personally immediately fell in love with.

Long exposure turns a grey day into beauty. I stacked an ND8 filter and a Hoya Circular Polarizer to soften the effect of the water along the shoreline of the Ottawa River. I'm more excited about this shot than any I have taken in a while.

Another trip to WWT Slimbridge, Gloucestershire at the end of January.
Weather was bright and sunny.
A Eurasian Wigeon flying over the outer fields at Slimbridge.
Subtle rather than showy, the Eurasian Wigeon is a duck that winters in great numbers in Britain, with most of our visitors travelling to us from Iceland, Scandinavia and Russia. It is a highly social species, found in flocks of hundreds or even thousands of birds.
Thousands like her throng the ' happening venues' and as the day progresses, share an anxiety on their being. A solemn and poignant moment from the festival grounds
...can be gleaned from these old trading houses along the canal in Trondheim, Norway.
The reflection turned out nice. The buildings remind me of something the old East India Company may have used to load and unload goods in the olden days.

One of three photos taken today in Toronto while sitting in the front passenger seat of my friend's car.
It was sunny and not too cold today, but still colder than normal for this time of the year.
Enjoy your week, thanks for visiting.
This big ol' Great Grey swooped down so close in front of my truck near the end of my exploration of the former DM&N Alborn Branch that I had to swerve to avoid impact! Luckily for me he didn't mind my hitting the brakes and slowly walking back for photos. Of the many, many frames this was the best look on his face. Haunted.

And here is one of the main reasons why people get this Rokinon lens - nightscapes. It has very little coma (particularly compared to many wide angle lenses), which means that all of those star points stay nice and round. It can also capture so much of the sky in one frame. I fought with some clouds that loved to gobble up the light on this particular night, but the end effect is kind of cool.
Check out the now live review of the Canon EOS M system. Lots of information and photos!

Thousands of coastal homes will be protected by a £7 million scheme, which will pump more sand onto Lincolnshire beaches.
Starting on Monday, May 13, the Environment Agency will replenish 400,000 cubic metres of sand.
It will prevent coastal flooding by taking the brunt of the waves away from the existing sea defences.
Over the next six weeks beaches at Trusthorpe, Mablethorpe, Ingoldmells, Trunch Lane, Wolla Bank, Chapel Six Marshes and Huttoft will be protected.
There are over 20,000 homes and businesses, as well as 24,500 static caravans and 35,000 hectares of land that are at risk of flooding.

The city of Tiberius enjoys an ancient history and one fantastic location. It sits along the Sea of Galilee (Lake Kinneret) and was established in 20 BC. It was named in honor of the Roman Emperor, Tiberius. Despite originally being a city that the religious Jews shunned, it is now considered one of the four holy cities of Judaism because of the work of religious scholars there after being driven out fro Jerusalem by the Romans. I will share both a night and a morning view of this beautiful city. This is the view by night from Nof Ginosar.

Snow Buntings doing their aerial acrobatics. This is just small part of this flock - multiply this section by 20, and you will have a good idea as to how large this flock is.
The white streaks are Buntings leaving the ground to join the group in the air. This was shot hand-holding a Nikon 600mm at 1/40 second, IS0 100 at F16. I panned as I shot.

Few lenses are capable of producing a compelling landscape at an f/1.8 aperture, but the new Tamron primes are sharp pretty much across the frame even wide open. I've only give this a couple of minor tweaks (a little exposure to the bottom half) in Lightroom, but this is pretty much what a JPEG out of camera would look like. I thought I would share two images today - one taken near minimum focus (check out my other upload today), the other at infinity. Check out a full size image of this shot that you can download in the gallery here: bit.ly/1Kx9cTy. Come check it out!

I got up early yesterday morning to beat the sun up and to get some sunrise shots. I got a few more typical shots in a brief window of just a few minutes as the sun turned the cloud cover red. But within minutes the sun arose over the cloud cover, allowing only peeks of sunlight, but giving great nuance to the sky. A long exposure helped complete the mood. It's not a typical sunrise shot, but it is one that I am very proud of.

“If a picture paints a thousand words, then a let a picture inspire a thousand words.”
― Nicholas Boyd Crutchley
In an alternative existence, Ingrid has grandchildren dandering on her knee. She rocks quietly in her chair in the evening, a cat purring gently by the fireside, But in this reality, Ingrid is homeless, wrapped in layers of woollies, living cold and alone on the streets of Bristol. I dread to think what may or may not happen to her at night.
I met her in the centre, sat in the alcove of a door, surrounded by carrier bags. Were they all her worldly goods in there or where they just as they appeared to be - trash? But those piles of old newspapers were precious to her.
Homelessness is tragic whatever the person's age or sex. But an old woman out there seems particularly wrong.
This is a new edit of a shot from 2015. The statistics indicate this lady is dead now. Average life expectancy for homeless females is just 52 years old so Ingrid was already on borrowed time when I shot this,
This is an unposed street shot of Ingrid. She broke into a big grin when I asked her name. Bag ladies don't have names usually. Maybe their names goes when the dreams go. How bloody sad.
(Don McCullen, whose work I have long admired, famously did the Marine in Vietnam with the Thousand Yard Stare which my title pays homage to and references.)

Though the new Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 OS | Sport has "Sport" in the name, expect it to make its way into the hands of a lot of wedding, event, and portrait photographers. It's a little bigger and heavier than competitors, but the 70-200 Sport packs a lot of optical punch. This is a natural light winter portrait of my daughter. My processing here is motly reserved to cooling the environment while preserving some warmth in the skintones. We'll call photography a "winter sport" here (though if it helps, I was on snowshoes to break trail for my portrait subject). You can see more images from the Sigma here: bit.ly/70_200SportIG

Detroit Diaries 3 ... Skyscraper I love you. Thirty thousand feet above the earth. it's a beautiful thing.
Have thousand things to finish!!! *gonna finish them within the next days*
But even busy couldn't help myself and make something with those cute fabrics!
Haewon looks darling in her winter set: dress, leggins and earmuffs.
The dress is long sleeved at last! been working in this pattern for long to make it fit perfectly, quite pleased with the result.
Made earmuffs for the big girls years ago and thought that it would look cute in this set, what do you think?
All combined with leggins and boots looks quite wintery, isn't it?
