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?

They say it's no game
there's strange news from another star
I'm lost, I'm lost
there's strange news from another star

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far
Oh-a-aho oh
Oh-a-aho oh

I'm not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you take a look inside.
Not just deaf and dumb
I'm staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind.

This was taken at Sparks Lake, Oregon. It was the most beautiful night I had seen in a while. There was not a cloud in the sky, and there seemed to be a million stars out. As we stood on the rocks, we noticed a campfire across the way. I thought to myself, what a beautiful night to be camping beneath the stars. Their fire seemed to make the trees glow with a brilliant orange. What an incredible night this turned out to be. We were even blessed to see the longest shooting start we had ever seeen. It was the perfect evening!!

It was a beautiful early spring day to find acres of mustard strutting it's stuff. Truly amazing.

Messing with Christmas lights......

surprisingly those lights behind are stars! well I thought it was pretty cool - taken with Nikon D3300 35mm 1.8 :)

There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds

I caught this as an "outtake" shot, and I rather liked the sunflare in the image. Something a little bit different...

Taken @ London Christmas market Hyde park

Straight out of cellphone. Spotted this cluster of yellow wildflowers along walking trail beside Highline Canal, Aurora, CO. My daughter and son-in-law had a rule of no stopping on their power walks, I did not follow the rule.

I took this shot during one of our photo shoot usually we bring our kids and lend them our spare cameras... I have noticed with kids it doesn't matter to them whether your camera is a full frame or level entry, at the end its the photographer who makes the photo the camera is just the tool in achieving it.. :)

A compilation of about 128 images with a few removed due to aircraft. A chilly (at 7 degrees celcius) but super fun experience. F4 30s ISO 800

The view from Thornhill in Cardiff/Wales at night, very tranquil and somewhat lonely place to relax

Pretty little blossom

Shuswap Lake BC

Experimenting with light graffiti. Had to express the beautiful stars on that lake.

In Almada city, in the south side of the Tejo River, in Portugal

Photo taken in a old prison in Portugal.

Spot the non food preparation item. This was taken in the kitchen at my accommodation in Erbil, Kurdistan, Iraq. I was making a liver and bacon stew, with lambs kidneys.

Always looking inside, outside, under and beneath a subject to find the most interesting pieces to highlight. The middle of this little flower really took center stage.
