In contrast to my previous post with its warm tones, this image depicts Copperhouse Pool at Hayle during the blue hour. It's just pity that there wasn't a golden hour to go before it, but then again, you can't have everything. I wanted to compose the image with the wharfe-side reflections fully included within the bottom of the frame. I then waited a few minutes until the ripples from passing vessels had settled before triggering this long exposure.

Thanks to Alex and Ari for the PS help.
I saw this Singer sewing machine recently at a store and it triggered so many childhood memories. …… many households had one of these. Happy Sunday 😊
Trigger decided to pose for his photo here. He is Bernese Mountain Dog and Heeler cross, and a great skiing companion.
Today the smoke from the forest fires triggered a "hazard" alert, the highest level. When I got up at 4 am it was at 365, but it's dropped to 300 by this afternoon, still hazardous, but less so. I have an n95 mask, ONE, which I wore for the first time today. All of my other masks are triple layer t-shirt material masks. I took it off in the car, and promptly put it back on because I could smell the smoke. I have an air purifier which has been running non-stop in the house, I rigged another one by putting a hepa air conditioner filter on the back of a box fan, using stretchy cords to secure it to the fan. With the two fans, I have breathable air on one side of the house. But what about the birdies? They are on their own. The only birds I've seen today are woodpeckers, like this Northern Flicker. I haven't seen the little ones. Maybe the leaves of the trees give them extra oxygen. The sky is yellow and there isn't even a pale disk of sunlight.
Finally pulled the trigger on a 'blad. I love my Rolleiflex, but the modularity of this thing is hard to argue with.

Winter is over - yeah! My Vitamin D resources are exhausted, so i need SUN.
Strobist info: Added some flashlight from camera left under the flower, for fill light. Sony F42, triggered by camera commander flash.

Unbelievable - i really wasn't sure if this is flickr worthy, i was thinking about uploading or not.
A frugal breakfast. Spoon full of cereals on a white plate full of milk on white background. Minimalist. Strobe : 1 * 1/64 behing the scene through softbox triggered by Cactus V6 white reflectors front both sides.

This tube spin was created using a white tube (from TubeTribe) for the effect. Background light was sourced from the church's outdoor lighting system, which was triggered by a passing firetruck.
Love the textures in this shot, depth, and the interplay between the warm tones and cooler tones. Brenda's pose was spot on. Love the angles she created!

I photographed this beautiful flower last month at the flower show put on by the San Diego County Fair in Del Mar, California.
Lighting: My wife was the voice activated light source while holding a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box at camera left at 10 o'clock, and just out of the frame. The flash was triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N. I used camera setting that caused the indoors background to go quite dark.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. For each image in the set, and there are now at least 1400 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
Finally, I made a gun. Lost 5 hours or so. Hope you like it. Cause I love it!

The trigger is tripped by bugs visiting the flower and gives the bug a 'hit' of pollen to take to the next flower for cross-pollination.

Lighting info - One SB-800 flash triggered by Nikon CLS - inside the ball ( $1 thing from a 2nd hand store).
Exposure: 1/250th
Aperture: f/19
Focal Length: 18 mm
Lens: Nikon 18-70mm
Camera: Nikon D200
Post Processing: Only cropping of the image as there was a bit too much black space on her side.
How did I get the angle? One foot on a ladder - the other on the opposite wall - thankful to my sense of balance from my rock climbing days.
*Since a few people have asked - the ball is from a lighting fixture - they're readily available here in Australia from second hand stores (on the shelf at the place I got this from, there were about 30 of them - all varying sizes). It is made of glass - so is somewhat fragile - has a hole and flattened base on one side - I put the flash inside the hole and sit the flat part on the bed.
My good friend Tully and his girlfriend Leah - she's an exchange student from Germany - and was leaving to go back to Germany a few days after this photo was taken. So I said I'd come and take some photos of them together before they had to be apart for many months.
Tully is an up and coming solo guitarist/singer - the same person in these 3 shots:

They're both 18 - yet their love for eachother is beautiful, like that of an old married couple, blissfully content for 60 years.
Being only 20 years old, I'm very new at the photography scene - having only shot for the past year or so.
My kindest regards and sincere thanks go out to all of you who have commented or added this photo to their favourites. It really does mean a lot to me and helps me to grow and improve as a photographer.
If this photo has attracted your attention or put a smile on your face - please have a look through my photo stream and offer any feedback you can, positive or negative - as I'm open to the wisdom and views of those with more experience than myself.
Flickr is an amazing place - never before has it been so easy to share so much creativeness and learn from eachother.
Ever since Jonas Wide's Fighting Pit of Mophet I've wanted to visit the concept myself, and the Guilds of Historica Ancient Wonders category sent me back to the idea. Plus it coincided with a burst of inspiration triggered by all the epic Summer Joust builds we were treated to a few months back. So I decided to do my best to build The Fighting Pit, not just of some town like Mophet or Kaligem, but THE Fighting Pit of the entire guild. How'd I do? ;)
This build took me four or five weeks and uses hands down the most minifigures I've ever used in a single MOC. Take a look at the time lapse video (do take a look, the first minute is pretty cool...) or all the extra pictures on my blog.

The cutting-edge technology that keeps the Silverstone motor racing track in tip-top condition could be coming to Croydon. John Bownas spoke to the team hoping to bring it here.
Pot holes – we all hate ‘em, and Croydon certainly has its share.
But now, the borough’s highways team is taking a lead from the people responsible for maintaining Silverstone’s grand prix circuit.
New technology that is good enough for the world’s top racing drivers is being tested in Croydon to see if it is up to the council’s exacting standards.
If trials are successful, the infrared-powered Nu-Phalt repair system could become invaluable to Croydon’s road repair crews who would be the first in London to realise its potential benefits.
Apart from a significant possible cost saving, the biggest advantages that the new technique has over traditional methods are:
•speed: a typical 1 square metre repair can be completed in just 20 minutes; currently, the same job takes considerably longer, and would be only a temporary fix;
•durability: the infra-red triggered thermal bonding means that patch repairs are far more permanent and blend seamlessly into the surrounding road surface;
•environmentally friendly: the process starts by recycling the existing macadam and needs only a small amount of new material to top off the repair.
The council has recently announced a multi-million pound investment project to resurface many of its roads.
However, there will always be a need for fast and efficient repairs in those cases where small patches of tarmac work loose.
This can happen at any time of the year – although it is usually after spells of wet or cold weather that these small holes open up to create a real headache for motorists and cyclists.
In total, the council’s emergency repairs operation currently costs about £560k every year in manpower and materials – and that’s not including the money that is budgeted separately for the major road resurfacing schemes that we will be seeing a lot more of over the next few years.
Steve Iles is the council’s head of highways, and he knows better than anyone else in the borough just how big a task it is to stay on top of the thousands of road repairs that his teams have to carry out every year.
Talking to Your Croydon about this mammoth job and his hopes for the promising high-tech solution, he first ran through some of the big numbers involved.
“We’ve got nearly 3,000 roads in Croydon, and these all get inspected by the council at least twice a year.
“We look out for any problems that might have arisen since the last visit – and particularly any new holes or cracks that could pose a hazard.
“Since January our system’s logged nearly 5,000 new reports from both streetscene inspectors and those members of the public who phone or email to tell us about possible problems.”
In that same time we’ve managed to fill in or repair about 9,800 – but there’s still around 8,600 that we know about waiting to be fixed.
“That takes a lot of doing,” continued Steve, “I’ve got six full-time staff who spend the majority of their day out doing this sort of work.
“And when they can’t do road repairs, because of snow and ice, they drive the gritting lorries to try to keep the roads clear.”
Tony Whyatt is the highways engineer whose research into improved technology solutions has led to the trial of the Nu-Phalt system.
“I’m really optimistic about how this will save us time and money.
“We reuse most of the existing road material on-site and need to add only a small amount of fresh material to each repair.
“There’s no noisy compressors, and the system cuts the number of vehicles and staff involved in each repair.
“We also minimise disruption to traffic – which is good for drivers – and these repairs can be driven over again almost immediately they’re finished.”
Indeed, driving away from our meeting with Tony we drove over a number of holes that had just been filled – and the first thing we noticed was that we didn’t notice them at all.
The repaired road was as smooth as the day it was originally laid.
