sunrise, Mexico, beach

Challenged to break the photography rules recently and came out with this. Actually like this image of a lingering daisy touched by rain.

Ubiquitous high power electric lines span many miles across the eastern Colorado prairies to bring electricity to the burgeoning populations and isolated farmsteads. Low angle post dawn sunlight creates dimensionality with long highlighted ridge lines and deep shadows.

Found an area of Colorado high prairie with rolling hills and infinite grain fields and used the post dawn light and shadows across the scene to develop the depth of the terrain. Monsoon moisture drawn off the Gulf of Baja and smoke from Western state forest fires help form the cumulus cloud banks.

Love modern and old architecture in Liverpool.

Could spend all day photographing Liverpool and it's buildings.

Sought to limit my pallet to primary colors for this pair of early morning sunflowers just north of Denver International Airport.

Punkah Wallah, Calf of Man Style, it was very hot!
In India and Pakistan, a punkah wallah or punkahwallah (Hindi: पङ्खावाला, paṅkhāvālā) is a manual fan operator. The most desired were deaf because they were always within earshot of confidential conversations.

Sunrise on the Calf of Man.

A fortuitous picture taken in northern Michigan, while pulled over on a small back road.

Light clouds of ice-crystals at 16,000ft. Moonlight hits clouds at 22degrees = spectrum :)

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 :)

But are we all lost stars
Trying to light up the dark?

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer

The Chicken's Rock Lighthouse showing in the center of the disused lighthouse lantern. Calf of Man.

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

Please look at full-screen.

We'll go to peepshows and freak shows
We'll go to discos, casinos
We'll go where people go and let go

Recent visit to help the Bird Observatory Wardens.

Recent visit to help the Bird Observatory Wardens on the Calf of Man.

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going no where
Going no where
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression
No expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow

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

Slightly different edit of mid-summer afternoon sun peaking between Rocky Mountain peaks and heavy, nondescript overcast to illuminate the Larimer Square Clock Tower along Downtown Denver's 16th Street Mall.

Taken while leaving Colorado Convention Center along Downtown Denver's 16th Street Mall. Heavy overcast and low afternoon sun created interesting light on Larimer Square Clock Tower and adjacent skyscrapers.

Modern high rises grow in the background across the well protected bay of Cartagena de los Indios ancient defensive works.

Thanks to Pixel Studios, Cartagena, Colombia, who let me take several behind-the-scenes photographs of the post wedding images. Was fascinated by their use of a video drone, as a new piece of equipment, which they used from the newlyweds' exit from the cathedral to include a walk along the 17th century defensive wall under setting sun.

And it hit me like never before
That love is a powerful force
Yes, it struck me that love is a sport
So I pushed you a little bit more

As is typical of me, Ruby Dog is my go to model when trying a new lens.

Used south facing picture window with bright afternoon sunlight as sole light source. Extremely high ISO 12800 and open aperture (f/4.5) to blow out light and hide tree, porch posts, and parked car in background. Tried to manually focus on leading lattice work near center but was fooled by average of front and rear lattices, true image focus is on the plane of the stem.

High key detail of my weekly bouquet for my wife. Used south facing picture window with bright afternoon sunlight as sole light source. Extremely high ISO 12800 and open aperture (f/4.5) to blow out light and hide tree, porch posts, and parked car in background.

How do you pick a woman?
It is not always bull to spoon
And the killer in me
No bandarilla in a garden.
Being such a flower catcher
It does not make me good forked.
If the audience comes flowers
Every "Olé" I feel pain.
Was this killer vein
Came to Maria Clementina

15th March, 2017. Sunshine warm enough for ice creams.

Oh, can't it be
The voices calling me
They get lost and out of time
I should've seen it glow
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind

Used post edit to bring out the natural high key sky background for this soaring turkey buzzard, which was soaring on midday tropical rising air columns adjacent to Castillo San Felipe des Indios.
