Another shot from the World Heritage Site Stevns Klint, this time using long exposure. It was a very beautiful spring day but a little windy, which obviously affects the sharpness of plants and trees that moved during the exposure. I don't think it ruins the shot in any way though.
4m 23s is how long this shot was exposed. I used 15 stop ND filters to achieve the long exposure time. I used a reference shot without filters to calculate the exposure time using Photopills.

Another great shot from a fab if not chilly session last year. Stay safe.

Thanks for looking!

Great Horned Owl on Saguaro - Photographed in fading light, I did not want to crank up the ISO any higher then necessary (the higher the ISO, the more potential for noise corruption in the image file.) Using a tripod, I used a low f-stop and a low shutter speed to let in as much light as possible into the camera. A 200 shutter speed is not recommended for hand held (with no flash), but works well on a tripod for low light situations.

Keswick is a market town in northwest England’s Lake District National Park, surrounded by mountains like Skiddaw. In town, The Cumberland Pencil Museum documents the history of pencils, and the Keswick Museum & Art Gallery displays local artefacts. On a hilltop east of town, Castlerigg Stone Circle dates back to the Neolithic era. Vast Derwent Water lake is south of town, with boat tours and the Theatre by the Lake.
It's hard to resist taking photos at the Land Park duck pond as there are 100s of blooming lotus blossoms. They're particularly lovely in the soft early morning light
Day two of using a tripod and using the camera's mirror lock-up feature. What a difference it makes!

Taken on a three-day workshop that I ran last week in Dorset.
Arriving on the beach at Durdle Door in the middle of the afternoon during harsh light and pure blue skies have you stand and look around at what you can capture that might be even remotely interesting and unusual.
Then I spotted this lovely small cave-like indentation in the white chalky cliffs known as Bat's Head. What were the challenges in shooting from this viewpoint I hear you ask? lol.
Well, for starters, there's not much room in there and setting up a tripod is almost impossible. You certainly need a small travel tripod to even have a chance of setting it up. I had a huge tripod with me so I decided to shoot this scene handheld and furthermore I only needed to capture the scene once despite harsh contrast and a crazy depth of field issue. Saying that my Canon EOS R coped impeccably with the stabilisation of the image, the great depth of field leaving everything sharp to look at, from the rim of the cave to Durdle Door itself as well as the dynamic range coping with the varying degree of light.
The more I use the Canon EOS R, the more impressed I am with it.

Fairy Glen One of the principal natural attractions of the village, and where Wuhelmina Stitch, "waits and waits, to see the fairy men.
Located only a short distance from Beaver bridge, a combination of rapids and cascades on the Conwy river are chanelled into a narrow ravine presenting an impressive and dramatic scene. Wooded banks and rock walls clothed with vegetation add to the charm. Fairy Glen is reached by a path from Fairy Glen Hotel beside the A470.
I needed to stand on top of my truck's tonneau with my tripod in order to get a clear shot of the Kite's nest. Lucky for me, the tonneau holds 500 lbs.
As the sun began to set and the clouds continued to jostle about, one of the Trail Islands was crowned with color. A beautiful sight, all I needed was a foreground element.
Down the beach was a trunk that had washed up years ago. It had three roots protruding. I place my tripod on the top of the flattened trunk showing only the roots. While there, some stray light touched down, and the image was born.

National Library of Brazil (current headquarters inaugurated on October 29, 1910), the institutional official name is the National Library Foundation, is the repository of bibliographic and documentary heritage of Brazil (since the coming of the Portuguese royal family to Brazil, in the 1810 period, with a collection of about 60.000 pieces, composed of books and documents).
Currently, the National Library, considered by UNESCO as the seventh largest national library in the world and, also, is the largest library in Latin America, holds in its collection more than 8 million pieces.

The Ribblehead Viaduct or Batty Moss Viaduct carries the Settle-Carlisle Railway across Batty Moss in the valley of the River Ribble at Ribblehead, in North Yorkshire, England. The viaduct, built by the Midland Railway, is 28 miles (45 km) north-west of Skipton and 26 miles (42 km) south-east of Kendal. It is a Grade II* listed structure.

The GCam on my Xiaomi Mi Note 10 in astrophotography mode took 2 minutes to capture light to produce this 27MP (from 108MP by pinning four pixel to one) stacked RAW/DNG that was later processed in Lightroom
Shame on the built in JPEG engines in most camera apps that can not get everything out of the hardware of devices and produce such artificially looking images
I make this image public for getting an impression of the AVIF format (can be opened in the latest IrfanView, Chrome and Firefox): Link to AVIF in Google Drive
The AVIF image compression (in the HEIF container) is a very promising format as it provides good image quality in a very small package and is (in comparison to HEIC) free of any licenses. I hope Flickr as well as Google and Microsoft products will soon have full support for this innovation.
Besides the high compression efficiency the big advantage over JPEG is that a color depth per channel of 10 and even 12 bit is supported.
This sample is generated using the avifenc.exe command line encoder for windows.
I used this parameters:
avifenc.exe --cicp 2/2/1 -r limited -y 420 -j 6 --min 30 --max 40 --minalpha 30 --maxalpha 40 in.png out.avif
The result is:
- 6 threads used (for my 6 CPU cores)
- to colorspace YUV420 (422 and 444 is not supported by the Windows AV1 extension)
- 12 bit per channel
Shot during our first morning of my Assynt workshop here in Scotland in 2019. I decided to start the workshop at the lovely remains of Ardvreck Castle and despite the changing weather which included a little rain, this gorgeous double rainbow appeared right over the castle itself.
I made sure everyone got a shot of it for themselves at the same time. I love nature when it produces scenes like these.

Using a tripod one returns to the way photos were created in the 19th century. At that time, the camera used to be a large and heavy apparatus. In the 1920s, the production of the modern 24x36mm film camera, small, powerful and eminently portable, made the tripod largely redundant for the amateur photographer. I am finding now, however, that in order to use Live View (Leica M Monochrome) I better use a tripod if exact focus is demanded, in particular when a telephoto lens is attached (here, 90mm). It is a bit counter-intuitive because the whole point of the range-finder camera is portability and quick action.

The Shot
Standard 3 exposure shot (+2..0..-2 EV) with tripod using Sigma DC HSM 10-20mm lens
Photomatix
- Tonemapped generated HDR using detail enhancer option
Photoshop
- Added 1 layer mask effect of 'curves' to increase the contrast
- Added 1 layer mask effect of 'saturation' (yellows) to slightly decrease the tone of the house
- Added 1 layer mask effects of 'saturation' (blues) to slightly adjust the lightness of the sky
- Applied digital blending of another tonemapped hdr to correct the ghost artifacts from the trees
- Used 'unsharp mask' (as always) on the background layer

All comments, criticism and tips for improvements are (as always) welcome.

As the water gently streamed over its next hurdle, it then divided, flowing in two distinct directions.
The same morning as my last post. Intentional camera movement can give a nice abstract blur to images and I dabble from time to time, here panning on a tripod.

One of the final images I captured on my evening at Bandon Beach. As I searched for good subjects, I had walked a long way along the beach and had a tough time walking back to the stairs leading to the parking lot. But I kept looking back toward the sea stack to see if I'd missed any views or landmarks on the beach. Then I came across this rock and briefly thought about taking a photo. I was about to move on when I noticed the sky behind it turn a lot bluer. From experience, I knew the camera would capture any remaining sunset colors. I thought it would create a good contrast to see the sunset colors against the approaching blue hour. So I pulled out my camera and tripod and tried a couple of shots. My hunch paid off, and I loved how the light looked in this shot.
