Three giant sequoias stand tall like sentinels in Sequoia National Park, California, USA, June 2015
Best viewed large by pressing "L". Actually best viewed large standing there, so this is second best.
Here is another panorama of three of the KAT-7 radio-telescopes... captured shortly after sunset... at the SKA site near the Karoo town of Carnarvon.
These telescopes are very photogenic... and they look amazing when you stand right under them and look up through an ultra-wide-angle lens. The problem with this approach is that the more you tilt the lens upwards... the more the telescopes lean inwards... and the closer to the edge of the photo they are... the more they lean! This always looks very odd and unnatural to me... my brain simply can't accept it... so I always try to avoid leaning verticals in my own photos.
For me it was all about finding the balance between getting up as close as I could... while still minimizing distortion. Some of the distortion could be corrected with Photoshop's Lens Correction filter... but the more correction you apply... the more the pixels in the image get stretched and squashed... which is also something that I try to avoid at all cost.
I found the best compromise to be stepping back from the telescopes... and shooting panoramas with a slightly longer focal length... thereby giving the appearance of closeness... with considerably less distortion than when shooting with a wider lens.
Panorama, Nikon D800, Nikkor 14 - 24 mm at 19 mm, ISO of 100, aperture of f/14 with a 10 second exposure.

Three miniature pom pom Dahlias, in a beautiful white form. At the State Dahlia Show at the Mount Waverley Community Centre.
When the day is overcast it seems like the perfect opportunity to try my hand at monochrome photography.
Shot this handheld during a recent visit to Harris Neck Nature Preserve in Georgia. It was midday but I thought it was an interesting clump of tree stumps with different animals claiming their space.
A little after this shot a rather big alligator came from the left under a tree hanging over the water that later revealed 5 of her babies on the bank. I did capture a shot of them as well.

66100 on 6E70 0155 Acton T.C. to Tinsley S.S, is joined by 66566 working 4E82 0036 Felixstowe North F.L.T. to Tinsley Intermodal Term, as a filthy 66718 runs around the discharged stone train from Bardon Hill to return on 6M01 1051 Tinsley Yard Gbrf to Bardon Hill Gbrf.
At the point i left hoping to catch 6J04 0704 Hedon Road Sidings to Tinsley S.S. passing Parkgate some 30 minutes later, but despite competing with Northern Train services and tram train paths it ran 20 minutes early. Not sure where it would fit on arrival at Tinsley.
