This was another possibility for the Macro Monday theme of perfect match. One hand without the other is useless. Time is flying by so must get on with housework rather than having fun with photography!

A dragonfly caught in flight over water. Why is it that water is so calming and seems to allow time to stand still? The still of this action photo, along with the composition, begs longer study.

Monk chanting through Ginza one step at a time.
Long exposure handheld.
F16 ISO 100 135mm, slowest shutter speed I could get.
Motion was not as good as I wanted so enhanced in Photoshop to get the desired effect.
Will be away for a well deserved holiday.
Speak to you guys soon and hope you have a great weekend.
The beginning of a new day. Sunrise across the Berkshire/ Hampshire border. Shot was taken on a site where in the 1676 a man and a woman, were executed for the murder of the man’s wife and child , in an attempt to cover up the affair the man and woman were having.
CN 3982 & CN 2283 is the power on a late CN 401, which has a string of TankTrain cars up front. CN 3982 was previously on lease to CN as CREX 1515. That lease ended a few years back, but CN has now bought 75 ex-CREX units.

Time Standing Still
Her Majesty
Freeze this moment
A little bit longer
Make each sensation
A little bit stronger
Make each impression
A little bit stronger
Freeze this motion
A little bit longer
The innocence slips away
The innocence slips away
Time stands still
Time stands still
I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
See more of the people
And the places that surround me now
Time stands still
Summer's going fast
Nights growing colder
Children growing up
Old friends growing older
Second and final image from my trip to Mudgee last weekend. We went to this great winery, and when we arrived, we were about 15 minutes early for our sitting, so we drove past it for a bit of a look. This old house on the crest of a hill was the first thing that caught my eye, so, after we had eaten, I drove back to it to grab the shot. This was shot with my Sigma 70-200 on F11. The house was a fair way away from the side road I was parked on, and right in front of me was a dam, so I had to shoot over it to get this comp.
I will be going back here in the near future, as its on the road to Hill End, and Hill End is a place I NEED to go to....been on my bucket list for ages.
Anyhow, hope you like "Time Standing Still"
Cheers, Mike
Corre cara eses xigantes, corre cara eses brazos que non buscan agarimos, corre cara ese castelo que conquistares e no que os séculos te agardan encadeado.
Corre contra o vento que non comparte as túas intencións, corre contra o tempo que se ri na túa faciana das túas ilusións, corre contra todos os que se interpoñen no teu sentido nese camiño dunha soa dirección.
Corre, porque este lume non coñece fronteiras, leis, avisos ou relixión. Este lume so quere espallarse nos teus dominios e se-la túa única bendición.
Corre.

Run towards those giants, run towards those arms that are not looking for caresses, run towards that castle for you to conquest and inside which centuries are waiting to chain you.
Run against the wind that doesn't share your intentions, run against the time that laughs before your face about your illusions, run against all those that get in the way of your movement in this one way only path.
Run, because this fire knows no borders, no laws, no warnings nor religion. This fire only wants to spread in your domain and becoming your only blessing.
Run.
Series of sculptures by Philip Bews and Diane Gorvin (he did the metal bits, she did the reliefs) outside the HM Customs and Excise building at Liverpool. Depicting past and present industry on the site (it's next to the Mersey and opposite a major shipbuilding area) The metal sculptures show ship repair workers and the relief panels are mostly modern workers.

This was one of the longest sunsets that I've ever experienced. It was also one of the most colorful and surreal. No mater how much time I spend in nature, the capacity of nature to far surpass my prior experiences and my wildest expectations never ceases to amaze me.
On this night the sunset color lasted at least an hour after the sun set. Most people left for dinner, but I was shooting a time-lapse sequence, so I stayed until the color was gone. This was taken on December 13, after Badwater Basin flooded shortly after Thanksgiving. With a follow-up storm, the water remained until early January!
The water table in Badwater Basin can be very close to the surface. That's how these polygons form: salt-laden water rises up cracks in the salt via capillary action, until it dries and deposits its minerals at the surface. The polygons re-form after winter rains, when the water table again is shallow enough to send salt to the surface.
Sadly, many visitors both enjoyed the sight and completely disregarded its fragility. Where people were hiking out to this spot, the polygons were quickly trampled and destroyed, The hike to less damaged locations became longer and longer, until the unique and incredible geologic processes were only visible as traces, lines flush with the surrounding salt flats. It got particularly busy after Los Angeles area newspapers covered the event. In an early visit there were perhaps a dozen people at sunset, even fewer at sunrise. Later, in one panorama image, I counted 212 people, many clearly oblivious to what they were stepping on, and erasing. I'm happy for whatever part of it they did appreciate, if only the reflection, or the joy of running around and splashing in the shallow water. Perhaps they'll notice more next time, and be curious to understand and value the extraordinary nature of the place, and the processes that they're seeing.
I hope that we get more rain on Badwater Salt Flats soon. I hope to spend a lot more time out there next time around.
This is one of the first revisits I've made to my folder from this night, to re-adjust my results with the latest post-processing tools and with a fresh perspective. Post-processing is a process, not a destination, an endpoint. I should re-process the entire time-lapse.
In response to one of the earlier edits from this night I received the inevitable responses of "fake" and "over-processed". Personally, I'm surprised at how often I am experiencing a literally unbelievable moment in nature, one that tempts you to abandon the camera and try to soak it all in before it's gone. Some of these moments are entirely predictable, like seeing the shimmering corona of the sun during a total eclipse. Many people who experience this become addicted to the experience, pursue every possible eclipse that they can, worldwide, for the rest of their lives. Other times you're completely taken be surprise, and the sun rays that you hoped to see are are more intense than anticipated, or the quality and colors of a sunset exceed your ability to comprehend how such a sight is possible.
In these moments, I've gotten into the habit of stating out loud "No one is going to believe this,", partially to mark that moment in time in my own brain and memory when I seek to relive it in post-processing. It is important to ensure that I'm not tempted to dumb it down out of fear that some armchair quarterback on the Internet might not have enough experience in nature to know that such a place and moment existed, if only for a moment in time. This is especially critical during photography workshops, when an important part of my service to my clients must be to empower them to have the courage to resist the temptation to cave in to self-proclaimed experts on the Internet, who should calm down, grow up, and get out more.
There's a lot of life left to be experienced, for most of us, and it would be a shame if you never experienced something like this. Whenever you do, please don't destroy any rare geologic features that you're walking among.

An collapsed barn and water tower from the early 1900s cattle ranch barn greets the Mojave night. This was photographed near a full winter moon, one of my favorite times for night photography. I love it nice and cool with a longer night for photography. I lit the scene with a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 light painting device during the exposure. This trip, I met up with Tony Donofrio for a two-night trip filled with a lot of fun and good food. Thanks!!

Created on accident. About 10 or 11 seconds into a 13-second exposure, I started to get wet from the spray of someone cleaning the plaza where I was standing. I grabbed my tripod and moved!
A lot of time has passed since the inception of St. Augustine hundreds of years ago. Like most things in the historic district, this clock looks old, but probably isn't, at least nowhere near as old as some of the buildings nearby.
This was in a little alley that runs off St. George St., the main shopping area of the old city, and there are some benches and chairs nearby so you can sit for a spell and watch the time, and the tourists, pass by!
Had to get another butterfly or two before the summer flowers are gone. These guys seem to pose for a photograph at times.
