Matt and I had woken up from a great night camping by the roadside in rural NSW, packed our tent and made our way down the highway to some canola fields we had found the evening before.
This was a field just outside of Cowra and one of the last fields we shot before racing back to Sydney. There were a few compositions to try but in the end I decided to just play it safe and opted for a classic panoramic with the subject of interest in the left.

One from my many early mornings at Spark's Lake waiting for clouds. Hey, they may be anorexic clouds but at least some clouds finally decided to roll in! (The morning before the freak thunderstorm)
Let's just all pretend that this is a epic star trail shot with a stunning moonlit foreground... the stars are reflecting over the lake.. pretty ain't it? Yep, I stood outside at midnight to get this shot and I didn't really scare myself away by the hundreds of low flying wayward bats nearly slapping me in the face.
A bit of a change to the previous London based images, Steetley pier, an abandoned structure just outside of Hartlepool on the Durham Coast, the area all around here was very heavily industrialised but now is being reclaimed by nature once again, the pier is actually in 2 sections now (more pics to come) and is not accessible anymore, it just stands as a reminder of the past.
The beach here is enormous and hardly a soul on it today, the tide seen on its way out here hence the image name, I had a good hour or 2 shooting here, and definitely a location I'll go back to at different times of the day and with different tidal conditions, got quite a few images I was happy with from the visit, this being the first. I do like presenting this kind of stuff in black and white a lot, this one just stands out far more in colour.

I got home late that night, put on a movie, Paul Blart, Mall Cop. It was pretty funny, so if I was lucky got maybe an hour of sleep, awakened by the barking dog to peek outside for some amazing pre-dawn colors. Jumped out of bed, and drove down the st to my nearest beach with free parking. I knew it was going to be a good one, so I just grabbed my over-sized back-pack (tamrac expedition 8x) from the night before (still had all my lens's & strobes) Got set-up for some beautiful colors, but then 10 minutes later the clouds over the horizon started glowing pink and the tide was just right screaming shoot me! anyways went back to sleep & relaxed most of the day. It was one of the best sunrises I've ever waken up to!
Hope you enjoy! I know I did!

"When Tomorrow Comes" by Eurytmics
Underneath your dreamlit eyes
Shades of sleep have driven you away.
The moon is pale outside
And you are far from here.
Breathing shifts your careless head
Untroubled by the chaos of our lives.
Another day - another night
Has taken you again my dear.
And you know that I'm gonna be the one
Who'll be there
When you need someone to depend upon
When tomorrow comes...
When tomorrow comes...
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea... tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea... tomorrow comes
Last night while you were
Lying in my arms
And I was wondering where you were
You know you looked just like a baby
Fast asleep in this dangerous world.
Every star was shining brightly
Just like a million years before.
And we were feeling very small
Underneath the universe.
And you know that I'm gonna be the one
Who'll be there when you need
Someone to depend upon
When tomorrow comes...
When tomorrow comes...
Thanks for your comments on my Lake Louise shot! I appreciate every one of them. Here is one from a frozen channel in the Athabasca River just outside of Jasper. I have another comp to post as well. The color happened over the more main peak making comps a bit of a challenge. Let me know what you think. Chip

An evening scene at the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, right outside the main basin of Gloucester Docks, towards Llanthony Bridge which is seen at the right.
The last rays of the sun were falling onto the abandoned warehouse and gave the color to the fast moving clouds.

One of the purest and most beautiful lakes in the world is located in Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. Moraine Lake, which features turquoise water and a mountainous surrounding, is hidden in the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
Moraine Lake is a glacially-fed lake in Banff National Park, outside the Village of Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada. It is situated in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, at an elevation of approximately 6,183 feet (1,885 m).
The lake, being glacially fed, does not reach its crest until mid to late June. When it is full, it reflects a distinct shade of blue. The colour is due to the refraction of light off the rock flour deposited in the lake on a continual basis.
Thank you for your comments,
Gemma

Happy Hump Day everyone. ;) Back to Palouse editing. I can't completely remember where this was taken anymore, I know it was north of Colfax so I'm going to make a best guess as to where it is on the map. All I remember was that it started pouring just as we crested the hill and I look outside, I see this vivid localized rain with the wind drifting it across the hills. Very cool experience. Hope everyone is having a great week! Thanks for the views/comments/favs, I truly appreciate it!
Image: 5 Image panoramic, single exposures with the 85mm in Portrait. Original size comes to about 15"x60" May be good to press L.
It was number #1 in explorer for moment. Thanks :)
It was hard to get this photo shoot done because it was almost dark. And lot of rain. I can´t see the fokus not manual or auto. So this is kind of lucky shoot.
The color of this river is green because this is hot water. But I will go back there soon when there is more light outside and do better composition of this.
property to make way for coal mining (shame really, great farming country) - outside Ipswich, Queensland on the Amberley-Rosewood road. There is a huge open cut pit up the road with large tailings heaps over a very large area. The country has changed markedly since mining began and it has been "rehabilitated". It's the Jeebropilly mine. If you look at the map (if you are interested) and put it on satellite you can't miss it in the landscape.
This is Sunrise at the boat Club outside the Village of Oranmore along the Atlantic coast last week one early morning-are we budding photographers gone mad, these was'nt another human body in the vicinity only mine with camera & tripod awaiting for the Sunrise.
I got it anyway-now do you like this photo thats the question friends.?
Comments appreciaed as always.
Thank You.

I’m back visiting family in my hometown of Forster for my grandmothers 90th birthday and took the opportunity of a rainless morning to get outside for a shoot before this weekends forecasted big wet.
I grasped the artistry of photography many years ago by committing to countless mornings standing on rocks with rushing water around me and it's been with me since.
Today, with many more shots behind me, I still regard seascapes as one of the most challenging yet rewarding breeds of photographic expression. With so many variables at play at any one time seascapes demand careful attention and are immensely enjoyable.
It’s been a while since I’ve been out for a seascape so climbing around the rocks on Burgess Beach at Forster in the dark this morning was a good change and brought back some nice memories of times I've spent here before. A lot has changed since then and I think I'm slowly accepting that.
Shot with the new Nikon D810 and a Carl Zeiss 15mm Distagon T* with a B+W circular polariser.

Same location, same day, several minutes later...
I tried to find the spring between these trees. And I've found it as you see!
I have recently (within the last 3 months) moved from Derbyshire, England to just outside Snowdonia, North Wales. Back in Derbyshire I had a love for taking long exposure waterfall shots however finding any falls was sometimes difficult. Here in North Wales I can't get away from them! Which makes going on a short walk rather difficult as I find myself reaching for the ND filter and the tripod every 5 minutes!
This shot is at Llyn Ogwen just next to the A5.

Focalizza un punto e piano piano il resto del mondo scompare.....
Per meditare è sufficiente prestare attenzione,
osservare, con tanta tanta pazienza,
perseveranza, in silenzioso raccoglimento. Un
esempio: se getti un sasso in un laghetto la
superficie s'increspa. Le piccole onde che si
formano sono come i pensieri. Ma se attendi un
po' le onde si placano, i pensieri svaniscono, la
mente si calma. Per far ciò non devi concentrarti
sulle onde, ma osservarle e attendere.......
Posting this one for my friends Matt Cedergren and Robin Black who encouraged me to indulge my affinity for a unique image and to think outside the box. :) Appreciate you both!
And for my dear friend Oh Greg who took me here and that was AFTER I nearly drove us over a canyon :p

The first day of spring is but days away, but Chicago, apparently, missed that email.
The sun really starts getting little higher in the sky – 40 degrees or so - come the first of March. It has warmth if it’s shining through a closed window, but none if you’re outside - as this guy and I were.
1 million people on Chicago’s southside and just two crazies out in the cold by frozen Lake Michigan. He seemed to be searching his thoughts. I was searching for an image.
I don’t like the cold, and neither do my cameras (at least so they tell me). I always get out of a warm car, underdressed for the weather, run like crazy to a good looking spot, decide what I want, and shoot really fast. All of the synapses are firing like a sonnuvabitch, I guess telling me to…
“Get the picture and get back in the car, you fool.” Sorry, but it is the way I work. I will probably catch pneumonia (and old-monia) and die, I know.
TEXTURE INFO
Three textures used:
Skeletalmess – “bored to death” – mainly the sky (twice), part of the ice (once). Warped to fit each area tightly and separately. ~ www.flickr.com/photos/skeletalmess/5153791941/
Distressed Jewel – “gradient” – used over the whole image, full frame. ~ www.flickr.com/photos/jewellofdistressed/
Pereeerica – “snow” – used over whole image, but as small patches of texture roughly 1/3rd the size of the overall image and then repeatedly duped and placed around in overlapping patterns. (Great for controlling depth, motion/direction, and sharpness/blur of snow or rain). ~ www.flickr.com/photos/8078381@N03/
I make my background layer with the best color, contrast, tone and sharpness I can. Then I make a dupe/copy or two. All other layers will go over these with various blending options applied.
Benefits for me:
I can pick a texture that I feel properly compliments or contrast the texture inherent in a particular portion of the master image. I don’t have to worry about muddying up the any part of the overall image with multiple, possibly, contradicting textures.
I can control the depth, look, softness, sharpness, contrast, shadow-to-highlight range and color of that single-style of texture to a marvelous degree. When you squeeze or compress textures from full-frame, their grain/pattern/texture usually gets tighter (more visible) too. I like that.
I can always go to one of my two master layers and by using the lasso tool and/or magnetic lasso tool, pull out little sections I wish to make really pop - copy and past them over its dedicated texture layer, and then blend, burn and dodge this small section of layer to get everything blended just right.
I find that I can do my burning and dodging (which I do a lot of) to give the image depth, becomes far more controlled, efficient and effective by working with the one or two copies of the background layers that lay underneath all texture layers.
Example: the rock portion of the image was lassoed, copied, pasted as new layer, named and then moved over its gradient texture layers (but still under the snow layers). I then burned and dodged the rocks some more, adjusted the blending options (soft light – played with fill, not opacity).
Eventually, I get something that looks right. That looks like what my warped mind and imagination saw of the scene, not just what the light cells of the camera captured.
It may sound complex, although to me it isn’t, (I guess because I came to it naturally. It is time consuming though). However, I find it to have far more control than trying to erase down through layers to get what I want.
Thank you for indulging me on this stuff. - So, so much to learn.

I've been known to "paste" a moon into a shot as a special effect but this one is the real deal. I downloaded moonrise/moonset data from www.timeanddate.com (a great resource) and positioned myself with a long lens (a 300mm) on a tripod and waited for the moon to get to just above the horizon. I've been chasing this shot for a long time...trying to get the right combination of moon phase, clear sky, inclination above the horizon and foreground. What is that old saying: "Luck favors the prepared"?
Thank you very much for the visit, faves and comments. Cheers.

Information: , surrounded by a wide moat, stands at the edge of the graceful Mastbos. The castle is first mentioned in documents dated 1554. In 1614 it was converted into a hunting lodge. Kasteel
Bouvigne borders on a beautiful garden. Nothing is known of landscape gardening in the16th century. The present garden is open to the public and integrates French, German and English styles of the 20th century. Bouvigne castle is a charming building outside Breda, in the Mastbos forest. Its present look dates mainly from the 17th century. For a long time, the princes of Orange used it as their summer house. The castle, that stands in the water, was built in a typical renaissance style. Its beautiful gardens are open to the public.
I took this capture of four small Painted Turtles trying to catch some spring sunshine at the Patriot Place Trail in Foxboro, Massachusetts.
Good Morning everyone :D ( f ) !

The Holy Monastery of Koutloumousiou is near Karyes, and is dedicated to the Transfiguration of the Saviour. The etymology of the name is in all probability connected with two phases in the life of the Monastery. A monastery with the name of Koutloumousi is mentioned in a document as early as 1169 and is to be identified with the one which bears that name today. Nevertheless, the second founder of the Monastery is thought to have been a certain Koutloumous, a member of a dynasty of the Seljuks converted to Christianity.
In the 4th century Koutloumousi passed through difficult times because of looting raids by the Catalans which set the seal on a process of weakening and decline which had begun as early as the 12th century. Prosperity came to the Monastery under the enlightened leadership of the Abbot Chariton of Imbros in the second half of the 14th century. Chariton obtained important help from John Vladislav in maintaining the privileges of the Greeks against the Romanians who had taken up residence there. In 1393 the Monastery was awarded the status of a stavropegic foundation. In the early 15th century monks from Koutloumousi took up residence in and annexed the deserted St Alypius Monastery. By a Patriarchal sigillium of 1428 the Alypius Monastery was absorbed by Koutloumousi, which thus became more powerful.
This period of prosperity was followed by one of decline, to which the great fire of 1497 contributed. In 1767 yet another fire destroyed the east wing of the Monastery. The assistance of the Patriarch of Alexandria Matthaios II was decisive for the Monastery's recovery. In the 19th century (1857 and 1870) fire again did serious damage to the buildings of Koutloumousi. Repairs were carried out through the efforts of the Abbot Meletios. The last fire occurred in 1980; the damage caused was recently made good.
The katholikon of Koutloumousiou dates from the 16th century and is a classic example of Athonite architecture. Its original wall-paintings have, however, been painted over. The phiale and the bell-tower are works of the 19th century. The Monastery possesses 18 kellia and the fine Skete of St Panteleimon (1790), with 22 kalyves. Of special artistic value is the carved wooden sanctuary screen. Koutloumousiou has seven chapels and an equal number outside its walls. The Chapel of the Mighty Protection has a wonder-working icon of Our Lady of the same name. The Monastery has in its safekeeping many relics of saints, vestments and interesting portable icons. The library contains 662 manuscripts and approximately 3,500 printed books. Koutloumousi holds sixth place in the hierarchy of Athonite monasteries and, like all the monasteries on Mount Athos today, is a coenobium. It has some 20 monks.
Η Ιερά Μονή Κουτλουµουσίου είναι κτισµένη κοντά στις Καρυές και είναι αφιερωµένη στη Μεταµόρφωση του Σωτήρος. Η ετυµολογία του ονόµατος σχετίζεται πιθανότατα µε δυο φάσεις της ζωής του µοναστηριού. Μονή µε το όνοµα Κουτλουµούσι αναφέρεται ήδη σε έγγραφο του 1169 και θα πρέπει να την ταυτίσουµε µε την σηµερινή. Ωστόσο δεύτερος ιδρυτής της µονής θεωρείται κάποιος Κουτλουµούσης από την εκχριστιανισµένη δυναστεία των Σελτζουκιδών.
Τον 14ο αιώνα το Κουτλουµούσι έζησε δύσκολες στιγµές µε τις ληστρικές επιδροµές των Καταλανών που σφράγισαν µια πορεία αποδυνάµωσης και κάµψης η οποία είχε αρχίσει ήδη από τον 12ο αιώνα. Η περίοδο ακµής του µοναστηριού ήρθε µε τη φωτισµένη καθοδήγηση του ηγουµένου Χαρίτωνα από την Ίµβρο το δεύτερο µισό του 14ου αιώνα. Ο Χαρίτων εξασφάλισε σηµαντική βοήθεια από τον Ιωάννη Βλαδισλάβο διατηρώντας τα προνόµια των Ελλήνων έναντι των εκεί εγκαταβιούντων Ρουµάνων. Το 1393 το µοναστήρι κατεστάθηκε σταυροπηγιακό. Στις αρχές του 15ου αιώνα Κουτλουµουσιανοί µοναχοί κατοίκησαν και προσάρτησαν την έρηµη µονή του αγίου Αλυπίου. Με πατριαρχικό σιγίλλιο το 1428 η µονή Αλυπίου απορροφήθηκε από το Κουτλουµούσι το οποίο απέκτησε περισσότερη δύναµη.
Την ακµή διαδέχθηκε η παρακµή στην οποία συνέβαλε και η µεγάλη πυρκαγιά του 1497. Το 1767 ακόµη µια πυρκαγιά κατέστρεψε την ανατολική πλευρά της µονής. Η συνδροµή του πατριάρχη Αλεξανδρείας Ματθαίου Γ΄ υπήρξε καθοριστική στην ανακαίνιση της µονής. Τον 19ο αιώνα (1857 και 1870) η φωτιά µε σφοδρότητα έρχεται και πάλι να πλήξει τα κτίρια της µονής. Οι επισκευές τελεσφόρησαν µε τη φιλότιµη προσπάθεια του ηγουµένου Μελετίου. Η τελευταία πυρκαγιά που συνέβη είναι αυτή του 1980, οι ζηµίες της οποίας πρόσφατα αποκαταστάθηκαν.
Το Καθολικό της Κουτλουµουσίου ανάγεται στον 16ο αιώνα και αποτελεί κλασικό δείγµα αγιορειτικής αρχιτεκτονικής, ενώ οι αρχικές αγιογραφίες του έχουν επιζωγραφηθεί. Η φιάλη και το κωδωνοστάσιο είναι έργα του 19ου αιώνα. Στην κατοχή της µονής βρίσκονται 18 Κελλιά και η ωραία σκήτη του Αγίου Παντελεήµονος (1790) µε 22 Καλύβες. Ιδιαίτερης καλλιτεχνικής αξίας είναι το ξυλόγλυπτο τέµπο. Η µονή διαθέτει 7 παρεκκλήσια και ισάριθµα εξωκκλήσια. Στο παρεκκλήσι της Φοβεράς Προστασίας υπάρχει και η οµώνυµη θαυµατουργή εικόνα της Παναγίας. Στη µονή φυλάσσονται πολλά λείψανα αγίων, ιερά άµφια και ενδιαφέρουσες φορητές εικόνες. Στη βιβλιοθήκη στεγάζονται 662 χειρόγραφα και περί τα 3,500 έντυπα βιβλία. Το Κουτλουµούσι κατέχει την έκτη θέση στην ιεραρχία των µονών και όπως όλα τα σηµερινά αθωνικά καθιδρύµατα είναι κοινόβιο. Οι µοναχοί του είναι περίπου 20.
