“Being solitary is being alone well: being alone luxuriously immersed in doings of your own choice, aware of the fullness of your won presence rather than of the absence of others. Because solitude is an achievement.”
Alice Koller

Operator, the lines are down, are down
And I'm a traitor, traitor to a beautiful cause
God made me to her own design
Bad planning, too many flaws
How long will it take to get used to me
Don't wait that long

Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

I'd swim across lake Michigan
I'd sell my shoes
I'd give my body to be back again
In the rest of the room
To be alone with you

Looking for advice: when using long exposure to shoot waterfalls, rushing water etc, where do you place the focus? Even when shooting f22 with center focus, many of my shots look out of focus. How do I nail focus on these? Thanks for the help!

I submitted a photo of this same bird (a tern) on the same piece of wood yesterday. Of course, I don't really know if it's the same bird, but considering he is the only tern in the area, it seems like he sits here waiting to catch fish. I was surprised to see him again, and once more, I was able to get very close without him flying away.

Eleanor Rigby died in the church
And was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt
From his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

The impending sunset dragged me down to the local estuary tonight
60sec exposure across the water

This is one that was posted under a different title

This was one of those shots that just sort of happened. I was waiting for the sunset and saw "the man on the lonely rock" and took a few snaps.

This was shot holding my camera out through the open sunroof of a friends car.
used a a 3 stop ND filter to get a slow shutter speed to capture the motion blur.

This little picture was taken at Salmon Valley, British Columbia on New Years Eve. The weather was 23 degrees below 0 ...but having a thermos full of coffee and baileys kept me warm.

ISO - 500, F1.8, 13" (which seemed like a really long time while it was cold out)

Another entry (and another selfie) for the current B&W challenge, this time in the Architecture category

Blue Oaks from a Foothill Woodland area of California's Fresno County.

A last minute shot on the way up from an adventure...turned out to be one of my favorites.

A 30 second exposure of the Angel at sunrise.

When I snapped this photo, I felt it was Ho hum but then looking at it again...much later, I decided that I would desaturate and now, I like it.

My first attempt at long exposure.

Even though I'm not "entering" the yellow challenge, here's a bit of yellow anyway :)

This image was created with 5~ 30 second exposures merged in Lightroom CC....I definitely needed a lot of patience and time to create this

A misty day at Ragged Point on the infamous Highway 1 in California.

A fun time with my sister at the beach!

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

Taken on October 21, 2015. A severe thunderstorm just west of Jal heading Northeast...so towards me. Looking south to show the clear night sky over Jal on the left with the storm clouds on the right. Those weird tall things on the left side are the pieces of the sculpture north of town (You can drive right up to it).

While touring the snow damage of 2014 in York Pa. I spotted this cold and lonely bench .

Alone in a meeting with the Bird King,
Offering balloons to his sparkling splendid

Little Red Riding Hood

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.

The Trail Ahead sculpture always makes a good foreground for sunsets and lightning photos.

This is the setting for one of the exposures I combined to create this image.

At Robert H. Long Nature Preserve, there's a man made waterfall. It's timed to allow water to run off into a nearby creek. It was golden hour when I captured this duck watching the water.

One of my favorite "beach hangouts"...the Central Coast has such fabulously diverse beaches.

Exposure: 0.5 Sec; f/14; ISO 100; Manual; Pattern Metering, Canon EOS 7D

Self portrait conceptualizing an ideal afterlife drifting the high seas remembering and reliving the best of times with my loved ones ...

Execution of this shot was pretty straightforward ... set the self-timer on the camera and then got into position, ducking out of the frame after 1 second of a 2 second exposure ... Except the wind was bad enough that I couldn't actually hear the shutter open, so I just had to count ...

One of my favorite places to shoot while in San Diego...La Jolla Shores. This place has some amazing sunset views and great rocks...and as you can see by this photo, TONS of other photographers love this place too ;)

This is Falling Branch AKA Kilgore falls. located in Rock state park in Maryland!The hike to the 2nd highest free falling waterfall in the state is probably one of the easiest hikes i have ever done.less than a mile and well worth every step! Be careful in winter the trail does ice over! This is a fall that cane and should be enjoyed every season!

This Photograph was taken at Meol's Beach in the North West of England, i love nothing better than creating something a bit different from the normal shot, with the use of my filters i produce this image with an exposure time of 995 seconds

LBV56

Not the best image, I had to set my camera on the hood of my car since my tripod is broken. I liked the way the moon was breaking through the clouds and the flare adding the red and oranges really made it look cool.
