Another perspective of an earlier shot, this time with the focal length at the widest 10mm. This is a view of the HML Tea Plantation in Chundale, Wayanad district, state of Kerala.
The Shafer Trail is the most direct, if somewhat sinuous, route from the rim of Islands in the Sky to White Rim Road, running along the escarpment above the Colorado River in Canyonlands National Park. In this photo, Shafer Trail drops nearly 1,500 feet.
Coyote (Canis latrans) breaks trail through deep snow along the bank of the Madison River. We watched this female prowling the bank and investigating the water (she may have been one of the Madison’s “fishing Coyotes” but we didn’t actually see her fish) for over an hour.
The Monsal Trail is a cycling, horse riding and walking trail in the Derbyshire Peak District. It was constructed from a section of the former Manchester, Buxton, Matlock and Midland Junction Railway, which was built by the Midland Railway in 1863 to link Manchester with London and closed in 1968. The Monsal Trail is about 8.5 miles (13.7 km) long and opened in 1981. It starts at the Topley Pike junction in Wye Dale, 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Buxton, and runs to Coombs Viaduct, 1 mile (1.6 km) south-east of Bakewell. It follows the valley of the River Wye. The trail passes through Blackwell Mill, Chee Dale, Millers Dale, Cressbrook, Monsal Dale, Great Longstone, Hassop and Bakewell. The trail has numerous landmarks including Headstone Viaduct, Cressbrook Mill, Litton Mill and Hassop railway station, and passes through six tunnels. (Wikipedia)
Tucking myself into a needed sleeping bag, I decided to try for a star trail & aurora combo. The cool wind blew, I read a book, then fell asleep. All while the camera recorded an hour's worth of night sky movement - with a touch of Aurora on the horizon.
I could reach the camera from my bed.
Planning for next summer. I can highly recommend this hike.
The Eiger Trail starts at Eigergletscher Station and ends 2 to 3 hours later at Alpiglen Station (or the other way round). The trail leads directly underneath the iconic north face of Eiger!
Mount Wetterhorn is visible in the background. Down in the valley one can see the village and tourist destination of Grindelwald.
Thank you for your visits / comments / faves!
Along the West Ridge Trail.
The water and snow in the trail reflect the amazing colors of a different light spectrum.
The trail through Aravaipa Canyon wanders in and out of the creek. Sometimes one can find a trail on the bank and follow it until prior flood debris blocks it. The best solution at this point is simply to hike in the creek until you can pick up the trail farther along. Sometimes the trail "cliffs out" against the Canyon wall and one has no choice but to get back in the creek and hike until a trail magically appears on one side of the creek or the other.
I had Orvis flyfishing mid-ankle wading books. Most Excellent. I also had 5mm neoprene wet socks and merino wool socks. My feet stayed comfortable. They get wet but not cold. I have backpacked Aravaipa in the past in Chaco Sandels with the wet socks and wool socks. I like the ankle support of these Orvis boots especially with camera gear in my pack.
My inaugural hike with my F-Stop Tilopa backpack. It is awesome. My non camera gear that I had on top I kept in a strong plastic compactor bag to keep any debris from dropping into the ICU.
I have heard pundits on the internet say "Don't worry about filters, you can adjust in Photoshop". Maybe others can, I can't. My longer exposure photos were "blown out". I wish I had carried a Grad ND filter. At least 3 maybe 6 stops.
"We have earned enough memories, stored enough mental emotional images in our heads, from one brief day in Aravaipa Canyon, to enrich the urban days to come. As Henry David Thoreau found a universe in the woods around Concord, any individual whose senses are alive can make a world of any natural place, however limited it might seem, on this subtle planet of ours." Edward Abbey, from Down the River (with Henry)

'The world is big, it is comprehensible,'' says R. Buckminster Fuller. But it seems to me that the world is not nearly big enough and any portion of its surface, left unpaved and alive, is infinitely rich in details and relationships, in wonder, beauty, mystery, comprehensible only in part. The very existence of existence is itself suggestive of the unknown - not a problem but a mystery. We will never get to the end of it, never plumb the bottom of it, never know the whole of even so small and trivial and useless and precious a place as Aravaipa. Therein lies our redemption." Edward Abbey

First time tooling with the composite shooting mode in my EM1. Think I might play with this a lot more in the future.
Dramatic trail at Glendalough in the Wicklow Mountains. Wicklow, Ireland.

Taken at home.. and touched up in photoshop for the different colors. My thanks to all in advance for your comments :-)
I'm sure he was just showing off for me. I must say I was very impressed.....
Thanks for visiting and have a good weekend. Cheers.

I love the freshness and softness of the colours in spring. This trail is in McGregor Point Provincial Park near Port Elgin on Lake Huron.
There can never be enough, and these meandered along lakes, beautiful flowers, amidst plenty of sunshine...What a lovely day!
First experiment with night star trail stacking. Definitely need to practice more, and tweak some settings, but it was fun nonetheless!
Stack of 55 images at 30 second intervals.
This image was taken back in the autumn during a mist morning explore of the woods near Stourhead.
Instead of the shortcut to get to this location, I decided to go on further and take the old track instead. That turned out to be a challenge as the track was flooded in some of the places, so slight adjustment to the journey was needed.
Once at the location my aim was to position roughly where I had taken a previous image from (image called Autumn Trail). It was interesting to document the changes that had occurred within a week.
I was given a few sheets of Revere Platinum paper to try. (Thanks Richard!)
So far, so good. Coats easily, clears without too much hassle. Surface is very 'hard'. I've not noticed any of the banding issues that some have reported but need to try a neg with more even tones (sky).

'The mutated trees don't look like much but many of them are over 300 years old! The lack of minerals in the soil stunt the trees growth and instead of growing up, they grow out and branch to the side.
This is a delicate environment please stay on the boardwalk to limit human contact with this interesting ecosystem.'
