Sunrise on the Calf of Man.

So you plan a shot, you've thought about for ages. Staying on a small island called the Calf of Man, helping with Voluntary work. Night time shot, M, tripod, headlight, redlight, remote etc..Full Moon ordered, and it came out from behind a bank of clouds at just the right time. Unfortunately, because of the exposed nature of lighthouses it was extremely windy. Had to put my weight on the tripod to hold steady. Despite that, the stars do look a tad blurred. I know this is not a perfect picture, but good practice, in pitch darkness. Nothing is ever perfect :)

Purple haze, all in my brain
Lately things they don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
Excuse me while I kiss the sky

like my page if you like too see more long exposure https://www.facebook.com/trisstography/

A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart

Really liked how the architects used natural stones as facades for Mountain Village Shopping Center above Telluride, CO. Low, late afternoon sun highlighted the colors and layers of this local stone. Like the matte finish of the lighting fixtures at the corner of this building.

Such a beautiful smile.

The marker light at the end of Whitby pier

Out and about in New Mexico, Again!

This little lighthouse had considerable interest when it went up for sale last year for £10,000. The birds are Arctic Terns.

You bury your treasure where it can't be found
But your love is like a secret that's been passed around

Nesting time on some of our isolated pebble beaches. Tern colonies are roped off but with a long lens some good shots, and not just Terns.

I've never looked at sunflowers close up before. From studying this image, I now understand where exactly sunflower seeds come from. :)

I had been to Palouse Falls twice before. The skies were always not very favorable, but this time I hit it just right. As I stood looking at the scene, there seemed to be a peacefulness about it. It was a perfect ending to a very long week.

Something a little different

Breakfast buffet chef prepares eggs to order. Difficult to set white balance since the foreground porcelain was under florescent overhead lights and the infrared heat lamps were highlighting the chef's face; decided to correct for porcelain white and let the highlights fall naturally on his face.

If I could threw myself
Set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
And to the day

This happened so fast that it caught me by surprise .

Clifton Suspension Bridge is one of Bristol's most iconic and historic landmarks. It was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and opened in 1864. The world's first modern bungee jump took place on this bridge in 1979, by members of the Oxford University Dangerous Sports Club; they were arrested shortly afterwards.

The Old Fresno Water Tower was built in 1894 by the renowned architect George Washington Maher.

Located south of the City of Kingsburg, CA in the tiny town of Traver, is Bravo Farms. It is always a place that catches your eye as you drive past on HWY 99, but are always in a hurry to get to your destination. I had to stop and get gas, so it was the perfect time to explore. To my surprise, it truly is a "Wonderland of Imagination" with a slant to vintage California/Central Valley Americana. One cannot stop exploring the amazing setting full of antiques, food, snacks, sights and sounds. There is also an impressive tree house that children can explore.

There is a new barn on the site that was locked but had openings in windows. The interior seemed to be a place that houses antiques that are yet to be placed in one of the settings of Bravo Farms. The main focal point is a large American Flag at the rear of the barn hanging prominently for all see. The time of day was perfect for the natural light to highlight the flag and add to the scene on the objects contained within. It was through a small window, of only a few inches, that I was able to take this photo. The environment was full of items from times past and a feast for the eyes. I a glad that I finally stopped and actually explored.

Messing with Christmas lights......

Can't remember if I posted this before or one similar.

First attempt for this type of long exposure.

After years and years of being a pc user I have finally made the plunge

lyf is grand!

My heart wasn't up to going inside the park, so I hung out on the other side of the water with my sweet doggie, Sophie Sue, taking photos of the Ferris wheel and listening to everyone laughing.

an odd photo but turned out really interesting, it's the shadow that caught my eye

The seasons, they change, like leaves fallen from trees ready for winter sleep...and so too is life, an ever changing thing.

High light falls on his sweet face,
the early morning lovely moments,
hold tight my dear, hold tight.

Not usually an event photographer but fireworks were just too colourful to resist! CC would be great!

Silly boy.

Earlier this week I decided to take a trip to Sequoia National Park in California. I grew up close to both Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks and visited both parks several times a year. I picked a day in which the weather was unfortunately not the best for driving. But I was able to capture a this shot (edited with Lightroom CC).

Grant's Grove is host to a large grove of Giant Sequoias and each year millions of visitors from all over the world travel to see one of natures true wonders.

God damn I love vancouver island.
This image is hardly edited, light like this is common after heavy rains here in BC.

There's nothing quite like Lake Michigan sunset! Pure Michigan!

Couldn't pass this by without a snap

I'm looking towards the North from the roof terrace of a restaurant. On the right is the theatre district, to the left and on the other side of the river is Prague Castle. The distinct spires are of St Vitus's Cathedral which is situated within the castle grounds.

We had scouted out earlier in the day, where we wanted to set up for sunset. I had been practicing my long exposure for the waves, so I would be able to catch them just right as the sun was setting. It was not very easy. Only being 5'3, I had a hard time standing with the waves coming at me. I even got chased away a couple of times. But, I knew if I wanted to get my shot, I had to stand my ground, and take what the ocean had to give.

It's always an adventure in the kitchen...

Shine down the morning light,
into the clouds resting in the valley
create an eerie pink fog

Stalking the garden again...yes, that's me...the one crawling around in your yard with the camera ;)

I like to drive around my little area looking for interesting photo opportunities. I found this tree in front of a house out in the country and probably spent 10 minutes shooting the leaves, which were so beautifully interesting to me. This photograph has a fuzzy socks, warm coco, curl up on the couch with a good movie kind of feeling to me.

Once again, I practiced on a "tolerant" subject....our rescue, Moonlight. She'll be with us 3 years, this November. Moonlight took the iPhone falling on her like a boss! Pet photography is not more forte but I do like to try.

Single 30-second exposure + six lightning strikes = AWESOME!

The Light Side of the Dark Night of the Soul

In my chest I know it to be truth -
that catching thickness beneath bone and flesh,
telling me that worlds exist beyond this one,
beyond the stars of the stars
within the minds of dreamers
And I need only to imagine my fate for it to be,
yet I fear the fall far more than I love the light

Another one from my B&W period

This capture of the vivid colouring started my day off with a bang!

Playing around and learning! With my new dream 2.8 100mm prime macro lens

diopter on a 250mm lens makes for interesting experimenting

Shadows in the water,
Always want to play,
bright light off the ocean
on this windy chilly day

I was playing around with the new settings in the quick menu in my new camera body when it came in the mail, this shot was in one of my test sets, but I loved it instantly, only thing I changed was to boost the saturation by the smallest increment... Wierd the things you end up loving accidentally with photography!

We all have our own little "glass boxes"...places where we keep the most secret parts of our lives. Who we allow inside says a lot about who we are.

Soft in sunlight,
pretty in pink.

This is a 4 image stack of lightning over the town of Jal. I know the horizon looks crooked, but it's actually a hill. The levels on the tripod were perfect.
