As Landscape photographers we know that light and timing is everything, of course a little luck goes a long way as well. We were returning home from a place 5 hours away and I did my best to arrive at this spot just as the sun was setting.
It is easy to look up the time of the sunset so I did my best to get us here as close as possible. When we arrived I asked the family if I could stop for yes, just one more photo. They graciously complied and even went a step farther. We needed gas so they went to town in order to fill up giving us enough to get home. (Bless their Souls)
They returned with their treats (as I knew they would) and half an hour later I had a treat of my own. This is the best I have ever seen or photographed Rundle Mountain. She really gave us a light show that evening and I counted at least 7 other photographers who would have gone home with equally gorgeous results. Thanks team for giving this photographer the time needed for nature to do her part.
My timing has been off every time I go out to Thor’s Well. Usually the tide is too low but Sunday it was the opposite.
I thought hitting the coast at high tide would be perfect, but with recent storms and the atmospheric river that just pounded us it was way too high and I couldn’t get close enough for a decent picture. While I was waiting for the tide to go down I headed over to Devil’s Churn. I have no idea what’s going on here. The water was thick like I’ve never seen it and it stuck to the rocks like melting wax. And as luck would have it, three hours later Thor’s Well was still inaccessible.
Me and my daughter did a last-minute lap around the lawn, looking for anything interesting to add to my Darktable queue, and boy did we find something! This male Green Lynx (Peucetia viridans) was in the middle of molting when my macro lens managed to make sense of the scene! I thought this was a really cool and unique experience for my daughter, and I was super excited to share it with y'all, too!
If you zoom in, you'll be able to clearly see the chelicerae and fangs being bared as they dry, along with the newly-formed markings dotting his legs! He added a generous amount of height to his frame with this molt, too, and I'll share a shot of that next.
This portrait was captured by my Venus Laowa 60mm f2.8 Super Macro! This photo is cropped to center the action. This tied-up terror is around 10mm long!
Just like with everything, there is a right balance on the water levels in a waterfall. Looking at several seasonal conditions, I like the May, June months in Iguazu Falls. It is at the end of the rainy season, but there is still enough water for seeing the impressive flow of the waterfalls. Yet, there is still some sections with just enough water to create completely different, soothing experience.
This year, things are a little bit different (out of balance). Recent rains caused flooding and this section of the waterfalls is almost covered by the rising Iguazu river (about 60 yards/meters). Last time this happened was about 25 years ago..

Very tough to capture the austere grandeur of mountain scenery on cam they always seem smaller than in person. I think I managed it here.....or maybe not :)
Another shot from the Prescott Hill Climb, i had great fun trying to time the shots to catch the drivers illuminated in the dappled light. A lot of binned images to get the odd few that I liked
While I was stuck in a cubicle for most of the day, the Iowa Pacific tooled around the Elgin Subdivision joyriding. Once freed from my corporate shackles, I returned home just as the Iowa Pacific was blasting off for Elgin again.
I casually stepped out onto the deck and nabbed a nice pan shot. Happy times at CP Mastadon.
Apt timing from the bin lorry and surprisingly 70009 opens up passing Meadowhall station. Surprising because the train would be coming to a stop about 500m beyond me to sit in the Brightside loop.
6M89 1010 Dewsbury Blue Circle to Hope (Earles Sidings) Fhh
I think getting one of the small birds in flight, in focus is all in the timing... and just plain luck of shutter control. In other words, it's flippin' hard! This is only the second time I've done it and I tried often in the last several winters.
Quonset State Airport Airshow 2015
My appreciation and thanks to all of you that have commented, awarded, and faved.
The clouds were moving in the right direction for the one minute exposure ... they moving fast too, so only needed 60 seconds to get that motion. Thus I was able to use the 10 Stop ND only to capture this as the light faded but the colors held onto the clouds. Good timing with the passing cold front as the sun vanished for the day.
I had no plans to stop in Sharples after a day of shooting in east Central Alberta, but it looked like the sun might be in my favor as I approached the Sharples turnoff. I got there just int time to take advantage of this.
As the saying goes timing is everything. As I watched this show develop I was hoping for a train before all the color disappeared. Fortunately it all worked as a short train appeared at the right moment.
Im Oktober 2013 fuhr 115 509 mit IC 184 gen Stuttgart. Es war bedeckt, doch im Sat-Film sah ich ein sich öffnendes Wolkenloch... ich riskierte es und wow, es hat geklappt... herrliches Abendlicht.
115 509 with an IC Zurich - Stuttgart between the bridge over river "Neckar" and the former railwaystation "Neckarhausen" in the evening. The lovcomotives advertises for DB Autozug (car on train, 80 years). But soon,there will be the end of this and the cars will be transported by trucks... thats the Deutsche Bahn... truck, truck, truck...
