Location: On the A30 near Zelah. Shot this on my new Nikon Z50. The location is less than a mile down the A30. Taken with the 16-50 Zlens which came as a kit with the camera. Sometimes we travel miles to try to take amazing photos when sometimes the best shots are just around the corner so to speak. The road has a particular fondness to me as my daughter lives in East Yorkshire and I have travelled it many times to see her and bring her back to Cornwall. These Wind turbines tell me I am home.

Location: Ingalalla Falls, South Australia This is a picture from Ingalalla Falls, one of my go to spots for cloudy days after a bit of rain. Really is a nice spot and incredibly easy access. This is a composite image to get the depth of field and allow different impressions from the image. The foreground is using a 6 stop ND to get the swirls in the water with a 30 second exposure. for the falls in the background no filter as I wanted to keep some energy in the waterfall, so used a 14 second exposure show some movement with blaring it totally.Canon R5, RF15-35 f2.8L, ISO 200, Foreground f14, 30sec, 6 stop NISI ND, background f10, 14 sec

Location: North Avenue Beach On Mothers Day I was walking along North Ave Beach it was a beautiful day. When I came across this puddle, I had to get down on the ground to see if there was a cool reflection to capture within it.Reflection shots are one of my favorite kinds of photos to take.Sure enough there was!I titled this photo, Mothers Day Reflection Perfection.You can also see my photos on IG magesticsky

Location: Breenhold Gardens, Mount Wilson, Blue Mountains With a day off work, my husband and I went on a road trip to the Blue Mountains to visit Breenhold Gardens. The unique heritage listed Garden Estate of Breenhold at Mount Wilson is one of the most extensive privately owned garden properties in Australia.The gardens are open in Autumn and Spring to share with visitors.We arrived at around 10am on a Friday morning with our 12 week old border collie puppy in tow on his first outing. The weather on the drive there wasnt looking good with the rain coming down however we were lucky enough that the rain held off while we were there.Landscape photography isnt my forte. Generally you would find me capturing photos at zoos or at the river close to home capturing birds and wildlife. My purpose on this day was to practice landscape photography.Two weeks prior, my husband and I came off his motorbike. I received a couple of broken ribs and he suffered a small fracture to his ankle. Despite the accident and the pain, I was determined to stick to the plan we had made prior to the accident as I knew the colour wouldnt last long. I chose to capture Ladburnum steps within the gardens as I loved the composition of the leading steps, the colours of the trees and the colours of the blanket of fallen leaves. I captured this photo on my Canon EOS 6DMKll and Sigma DG OSM 24-70mm f2.8. The settings I used were 1100, f2.8 and ISO 500. As I shot in raw, I did a little post editing in photoshop, adjusting the shadows, highlights, contrast and slight colour adjustment. I would definitely recommend visiting the gardens and would suggest you dont leave it any longer than early May to capture the autumn colours. Entry fees are 15 for adults and 5 for children over 5. Dogs are also welcome on leash.

Location: Nubble Light House, York Maine, USA Nubble Light House, York Maine,USAF11,15 second, iso 100, 16 mm. Sony a6400, Sony Gmadter16-34 mm lens . I have been to Nubble Light House a few times but as everybody else I have got average photos from the each trip. So I wanted to plan this time to go there with right conditions. And I planned my trip there on partly cloudy day for a sunset shooting with hope to have a good dramatic sky and so on. And it was a glories sunset over the lighthouse. I had to bring my rain boots to get down low in the water get on the rocks were literally in the middle of the ocean. I had to wait to tides to get as low as possible in order to get on the rocks super low. Once I was on the last rock I could possible be on. I new this was my composition. I am super happy with this image. Here are couple facts about the Nubble Light House. When Voyager 2 blasted off aboard a Titan-Centaur rocket in 1977, it carried a cache of images depicting life on Earthincluding a photo of the most iconic American lighthouse, the Nubbleon the chance that it might be discovered by curious extraterrestrials. The light from the Nubble Lighthouses Fresnel lens is visible for 13 nautical miles in clear weather.

Location: Cedar Rock Falls, Pisgah National Forest An early morning hike in Pisgah led me to these beautiful falls. Along the way, I was treated to loads of wildflowers including trillium and lady slippers. It is an easy hike from the Pisgah Wildlife Center to Cedar Rock Falls, but the final approach to the falls is a bit steep and muddy. This is a blend of 3 exposures, with a few adjustments to the blacks, but that was about it from post-processing. 16 sec ISO100.

Location: Gloucester MA, USA This image is taken during a rain storm, right before an amazing sunset over Glaocester Massachusetts. May 2021. I was shooting gorgeous double rainbows behind me but then, I saw this classic Gloucester house, the sky and the tree in front of the house! So I had to capture it. The atmosphere was literally glowing with colors and filled with drama.

Location: Lake Cuyamaca I've been fairly obsessed with Milky Way photography for 6 years now. I found it to be a rather steep learning curve until I began to be satisfied with my results. In 2020, the year of Covid, I would often venture out alone to find these compositions. This image at Lake Cuyamaca was made at about midnight. It's a stack of 16 exposures at ISO 4000, 15 seconds, f2.8 with a 16mm lens. I use the free Sequator software for Windows to stack the images. Stacking reduces noise which can be objectionable with long exposures at high ISO settings. Camera is the Canon EOS R. For me the combination of a high quality image of the stars along with an interesting landscape are the ingredients for a successful Milky Way photograph.

Location: Caleb Smith State Park, Smithtown, NY This photo was taken with a full spectrum converted Nikon D7000 and a 590 nanometer infrared filter. It was edited in such a way to emulate Kodak's long discontinued Aerochrome Infrared Film.

Location: Lead Mine Clough, Rivington This is the second waterfall you come to along the valley, it is usually a single spout but because of the recent rains the flow has increased a lot. It was early in the morning and quite dark, so when i used a polarising filter it gave me an exposure of 3 seconds at ISO 160 on my fuji XT3.

Location: White Pocket White Pocket is in the remote region of the Paria Plateau, containing endless photographic opportunities of swirling, multicolored formations of Navajo sandstone, including domes, hoodoos, gullies and potholes. Reached by a long drive on unpaved roads, some requiring a high clearance 4WD vehicle. In this barren landscape stands this lone tree, which I was lucky to photograph at sunset, capturing its reflection in a small pool filled by recent rainfall. The glow of sunlight on the water and the diagonal lines of the white sandstone made for a very attractive composition. The original purpose of this trip was to photograph this same tree at night, composed with the Milky Way behind it, which I did and will post at a later date. I have visited the area previously and I am always amazed at the beauty of this bizarre landscape and highly recommend a visit for creative landscape photography.

Location: Seven Magic Mountains Area After checking my TPE to see where the Strawberry Moon was rising, I saw that if I travelled just a bit on Las Vegas Blvd. S., south, into the dark, Mojave desert, I might be able to get a cool shot.When the time came, in THIS case, around 745 this shot was taken at 830, I grabbed my backpack and tripod and set out.I parked in the Seven Magic Mountains dirt parking lot and headed out into the Mojave to set up.With Joshua Trees being my favorite of the desert, there were plenty to chose from for my foreground.The light from the rising Strawberry Moon and the clouds at the base of the mountains gave me even more time to set up. I found my tree, set up the composition and waited. I was disappointed about the clouds when I first arrived, but this time they proved beneficial!The Mojave never disappoints!!

Location: Pasadena, CA Looking for a vantage point that would let me capture the sunset over the Colorado Street Bridge, I realized that I could include the cars coming up from the Arroyo Seco and get a nice, circular light trail. Photographed with a Nikon D500 and a Sigma Art 24mm lens. Exposure was 20 seconds at f16, to allow the cars to make the full turn.

Location: Purling Brook Falls Our day trip started with me breaking my only pair of glasses. So I was both excited and unbelievably heartbroken thinking I won't be able to capture this amazing work of nature. Luckily with alot of squinting I captured my very first waterfall.

Beginners Photography Class - Newcastle Beach, County Down - 10am - 3hours - Saturday the 26th of June
Location: Roaring Fork on the Roaring Fork Motor Trail, Great Smoky Mountains National Park Hasselblad X1D-50c CameraHasselblad XCD 30mmf3.5 Lens 24mm in DSLR Full FrameISO 100.4 sec f16Gitzo tripod & ball headChoosing f16 provided adequate DOF, and also allowed a slow enough shutter speed to smooth out the rushing water.Perfect weather for shooting water falls & rushing water - Overcast skies, and no wind. Only challenge in this shot was that I had to stand on a 1-lane bridge. Being the Smokies, there was no shortage of vehicles. I had to wait for a pause, run out to the middle of the bridge, try to set up, compose, etc. all before the next vehicle showed up. It did take me several tries between cars, but perserverance won out.

Location: Houghton Bottoms Early morning shoot at Houghton Bottoms Weir on the river Darwen. Its quite a popular spot with families so i got there early to avoid the crowds. Because it was so dark that morning i decided to do a 5 shot bracket so that i could capture the entire dynamic range of the scene. XT3 10mm F11 ISO 160.

Location: Towan Beach, Newquay, Cornwall This House on the rocks is locate on Towan beach, Newquay. Now used as a holiday rental it is over 110 yrs old I took this shot mid afternoon, it was quite windy on the day so my sole intention was to get my drone straight up for this particular shot. Due to the windy conditions made the sea perfect for this shot showing of the waves crashing against the rocks. This was taken using my DJI Mini 2 drone, shooting in Raw and post processing using Lightroom

Location: Cape Coral, Florida Winky Blinky - This was my second visit to Cape Coral, Florida in the same week to photograph Burrowing Owls. The town has adopted these tiny creatures so there are lots of photo opportunities. The little ones in this image had a burrow in a typical Florida neighborhood on an empty lot that I found by driving around early that morning. The owls tend to be out of their burrows early in the morning and late in the day. I think the wink gives the owl a kind of human personalityand helps draws us into their world.- Sony Alpha One - 400mm f10 12000 ISO 4000

Location: Lake Bonney The 2021 total lunar eclipse reflecting over the still waters of Lake Bonney, South Australia. Perfectly framed with the Milkyway core. One of the most amazing sights to see in the night sky is witnessing a lunar eclipse at totality. This year we were blessed with the moon positioned next to the milkway core. I so headed out on an adventurer to Lake Bonney, South Australia. Ive imaged many eclipses before, the images I always like are the ones that show the landscape and tell a story. Unfortunately my story for this trip was a perfect clear night right until totality where cloud decided to interfere. This image is a few minutes after totality once the clouds had moved on. Love the simple reflection of the moon and stars in the waters. Taken using the Sony a7iii and the Sony 20mm 1.8G, Pano and Exposure blended for the moon. 12 image panorama stitched together in PTGui

Location: Glacier National Park Taken very early am at St Mary Lake Glacier National Park. I got up at 4am to drive to this lake before the morning breeze started and caused ripples on the lake. It was worth it. I got about 20 minutes of shooting in before the breeze stared and the reflections were no longer clear.

Location: Dead Horse Point State Park Coffee and Sunrise...Dead Horse Point State Park after fighting for position amongst many other photogs in the cold darkness of the pre dawn hours at Mesa Arch, just to get the iconic shot, we decided to go to nearby Dead Horse Point to catch the early light and took this image while enjoying peaceful solitude and a hot cup of coffee...

Location: Park Tannas Taken as part of my Dance of the Fireflies shoot, I had four Ballerinas on set, shooting each of them against vintage cars, loctions and props. I had reduced the ambient exposure to 1200th and metered the subject at F4 for my key light, I had placed a seperation light about ten degrees camera right from the subject and tight against the back wall. Metered this 11 to the key light but featherd it away from the subject and ensured it didnt flare into my lens. My assistant on set was instructed to time throwing the material up with the dancers actions as I knew that the seperation light would act as a large fill light across the material. In post production I added some flare to the headlights, brought down the overall levels, then selectivly burnt in some HDR highlights. Masked out the seperation strobe, then applied Dodge and Burn to add dimensionality to the shot. Final process was to colour grade the shot. Camera Sony, software Capture One, Affinity Photo. Credit to Faye who was amazing, Shot two of four we didnt need any more. Ste

Location: Scaleber Force Waterfall this waterfall lies hidden in the hills behind the village of Settle, it required a pair of wellies and steady footting to get down to the stream. there was a small climb up onto a ledge and I was in the right spot. well worth the effort to get this composition, the view was breathtaking

Location: Natural Light Space Studio This is one of the images I took of model Ariel Taylor. She is based in Rotherham, but I shot with her in a studio in Northamptonshire. She is a trained dancer, & I was shooting a sequence of images for a panel I was putting together. Ariel can be found on Purpleport, or Instagram & she is great to work with. The shot was taken on a Canon R5 using a rf50mm f1.2, with 2 studio flash set on either side of the model.

Location: Arroyo Seco Parkway. Los Angeles, C.A The other day I stopped by at the Arroyo Seco Parkway around 800 pm to do some unexpected photos. The result I got was way beyond from my expectations. For instance, I took a few 15 seconds long exposure photos with my Canon 6D mark ii and my 16-35mm F2.8 lens. This is one of the many photos I got.

Location: Montauk, New York. I took a trip out east in Long Island to a winery for a friends birthday. Afterwards we decided to go to the rocky shores of Montauk and the scenery was breathtaking!

Location: Wareham Location Wareham-Durdle Door. Durdle Door sometimes written Durdle Dor is a natural limestone arch on the Jurassic Coast near Lulworth in Dorset, England. It is privately owned by the Welds, a family who owns 12,000 acres in Dorset in the name of the Lulworth Estate. It is open to the public.

Location: Austin texas I've been at that location a few times but always wondered what it would look like early in the morning so I woke up early one Saturday morning trying to make it there at 7am about the time of sunrise but I ran late and shot this photo at 800am. It didn't look how I expected but it still came nice. I will continue to try and re shoot this during fall season for an even more dramatic look

Location: Belknap Lookout Park Over the years, I've tried to get images of the downtown Grand Rapids area that I'm happy with from the Belknap Lookout Park area, using a conventional camera, handheld, or on a tripod. I was never quite happy with the angle of view, or there were bushes or grass or a tree in the shot that were distracting.So, last week, I decided to take my DJI Mavic Pro drone instead, take off from the park area, and see what I could get that way. I hovered over an empty construction site for a while, changed altitude and angle of view a few times, and got several images that I liked. This was the best of them, I think.I processed the image in Lightroom starting with a contrast-heavy black and white preset that I found somewhere, and then switched it from Abode monochrome to Adobe color. I also adjusted the skew of the image just a bit, but did not have to do much as the image came out of the camera pretty well balanced.Thanks for inviting me to submit the image!

Location: Tipsoo Lake, Mount Rainier National Park To capture a photo of the Milky Way above the still snowbound Tipsoo Lake in Mount Rainier National Park in June is a bit of a stroke of luck. A shot such as this requires the cooperation of the weather, the moon and the wind. All of those things lined up for a brief chance at 2 am Friday morning, June 18th 2021. I parked at the rest area near the the lake and grabbed my equipment and trekked across the melting snowpack to the edge of the exposed water and waited a short while for the moon to set behind Mount Rainier. I captured this image and others as soon as the moonlight faded. The clear skies and lack of wind allowed for a near perfect reflection and good detail in the trees and landscape.

Location: Queens Hills, Costessey I'm so happy with this capture! We've only had our bird feeding station for a matter of months and already we have had a variety of visitors. Between the quibbling Starlings, we had this very cute fledgling Blue tit with it's sibling and parent. It seems that the fledgling who can flap and shout the loudest gets fed first! Because they are so quick and I thought it important to capture the detail of the wings, I used a faster shutter 11250. I could only use f stop 5.6, as thats largest aperture my 300mm lens will allow. It was a beautiful sunny end to the day Roughly 4-5pm, therefore my ISO was 250.As an amature, I have only used Adobe Lightroom for post processing. Here I reduced the exposure of the surrounding ground to draw your attention solely to the fledgling, and the background wasn't particularly appealing. I often use birds as my subject to challenge my technical skills and patience! It's very rewarding when your patience pays off!Thank you! I hope you enjoy my capture.

Location: Glendalough Lake Upper EXIF Canon 6D mk1 with EF 16-352.8 L USM16mm, 13sec., f13. ISO 100Soft Gradual ND 3 stop 0.9 9th of AprilSunrise 6.40amExposure 7.10amGlendalough is well known as a touristic attraction and capture of its beauty with nobody around its like a dream. Especially on those calm mornings on the beginning of spring when rising sun illuminates the valleys. It was a long plan and I had to come back good few times to experience this moment until everything worked out. No wind, sky clear enough to give photo the right color contrast and enough light to illuminate peaks in background and separate my silhouette from them. And of course to make it all even easier it has to be in blue, orange and green color scheme, with me standing in water on cold morning without any movement for bit over 10 seconds talking sarcastic . Editing part was all about taking the calmness of the scene to perfection as water was like mirror and I was trying to fix little imperfections and get more depth into the scene. The image showcase the beauty of the peaceful mornings I always loved Glendalough for.P.S. It is always worth to stay and wait another while after sunrise.

Location: NYC My friend and I were talking about a good location for fireworks this year. He suggested Top of the Rock. I agreed purchased my ticket and met him there at 6pm yesterday. We knew we had to get there early to get a spot, by 9pm, you could barely move there were so many people up there. It was a great spot to watch the fireworks.

Location: Waryas Park, Poughkeepsie NY I took this photo on Fourth of July back in 2013. I had my tripod on the rocks of the waterfront park to take long exposure firework photos. After the big finale, my friends hurried to pack up to beat the crowds leaving the park, trying to rush me along. But I had two more shots I wanted to get while I was set up. I took one photo of the bridge completely defocused to bokeh balls, and I did the same shot focused on the bridge. That was this shot.Gear was a basic Vivitar three way tripod, Canon T3i, EF 50mm f1.8 ii 80mm full frame equivalent.Settings were 6 second shutter to blur the water and get low ISO of 400, and an aperture of f4.5 for adequate depth of field and supposedly the lens' sweet spot for sharpness, and blurred out the foreground. Beginner gear can get great results when used with a tripod!

Location: Taken in my home studio The little boy is 3 12 years old and just loves the camera. A real little ham. It was shot with a main light camera left to highlight from behind. And a fill light behind camera. Wanted the main to look like window light coming in his room as he read to his friends. Word of note this was the first shot. He nailed it!

Location: Goat Island Light, Newport, RI. After returning home from work, I wanted to go out and take some evening photos. I observed the softly lighted clouds in the sky. I wanted to take a photo with something that Newporters would recognize with respect to the sky. I chose the Goat Island Light as my subject. After I established the composition, I decided that a long exposure would be best. Details Exposure time 30 seconds, ISO 100, Aperature 4.5

Location: Wildwood N.J. Through the years my family and I have visited wildwood. I have been taking pictures with a lower quality camera. I decided to get a better camera and take different pictures. So this time while i Wildwood I thought i would get up early and take some sunrises pictures. While on the beach i thought why don't I take a picture of rollercoaster and Ferris wheel with the sun rising in the back round.So I did and tweaked it a little in Lightroom. Photo was taken at 110 of a sec. at an f of 4.8, ISO of 100 focal length of 50mm on a Nikon D7200

Location: Soldiers Point NSW I am lucky to live by the coast with its many interesting features. I love sunrises and sunsets as they have the most interesting colours. I chose this location as it has great leading lines and the lighthouse in the background. I was lucky to have the cloud formation as this adds drama and colour. I used a canon m50 with samyang f2.8 ultrawide lens. Settings where f16 iso100 160. I used the higher f stop as I dont have a filter. I did some post processing in lightroom.

Location: Tulsa, Oklahoma Photo of an Aztec dancer performing at the Mabee Center Pow Wow in Tulsa prior to the virus shutting down all public events. The Pow Wow was located indoors so I used a high ISO to avoid flash photography. My aperture was 5.6 as I did not want the background to be completely blurry. Nikon D7100

Location: Kearnsey Abbey, Dover Kearnsey Abbey is a location that I had been planning to visit for a while.I wanted to combine the ethereal beauty of a long exposure of a waterfall with a stunning man made piece of architecture and landscaping.With perfect weather for the shot, I felt that I could capture the illusion of two worlds moving in different time frames simultaneously.I hope that I have done that and that the intended magic is there for the viewer.Jason

Location: Launceston, Cornwall. Launceston is my hometown and I constantly search for different viewpoints of our Norman Castle, this was taken from Roydon Road full frame 80mm at ISO 64 f7.1, 2.5 seconds. I do much of my shooting early in the morning as the town wakes up and early birds are going to work, this was taken in September 2018. I processed it recently on photoshop and camera raw. The image was very busing in the foreground and I had to get rid of a parked car and road white lines etc.

Location: Lockport, NY I live in Waikiki, Hawaii and am visiting my father who lives in Lockport, NY. Every morning I take a walk around the block a very big block as my father lives out in the country. I kept walking by this wheat field and said to myself that it would probably be a good picture if i could just get the wheat and no sky or woods that was behind the field. So after walking by for several days, I decided to step off the road and walk into the field to take the picture that I had in my mind. After about 3 intitals pictures, I finally took this one as I liked the placement of the wheat stalks and how they bent. I always post a picture oin Instagram daily so i used this image for my picture of the day. I selected the X-Pro II filter for the image as I felt it made it pop more than the original image. Though the original image was pretty good also. It also crossed my mind to try black and white, but i liked the monotone color of th tan. Thanks.

Location: Scottish Highlands since lockdown V1 I've had the opportunity to get back into landscape photography and I'm always inspired by water and mountains.I was in Scotland to photograph a wedding so took the opportunity to drive towards Glencoe for some landscape work. I saw this view from the road so parked up a little up the road, put my wellies on and walked back and across some very boggy ground to get this shot. for the technically minded it was a 40 second exposure at F14, taken on a Fuji xh-1 with 18-55mm lens

Location: Dartmoor - near Haytor The Story We took a quick drive up to Haytor for golden hour to get an image of my partner Genni near the iconic rocks that always remind me of the foot of some huge sleeping troll. Main shoot done, I wandered about looking for any other nice shots - you never know what you are going to get! I saw four ponies, and approached very quietly with eyes down, eventually managing to get close enough to take this shot. The ponies are very calm and unhurried, which is lovely when you're taking multiple exposure shots like this. There is a slightly melancholy air to this pony in the shot, but it seemed happy to be with its family, just wandering around looking for something nice to munch on.

Location: Pismo Beach Pismo Beach has been a location my family has headed to for special occasions over the years. For this trip, my wife was celebrating her birthday. The weather was very cooperative while we were there and the moon was casting some beautiful light over the ocean. I took this photo at night on my tripod. It was shot with a Nikon Z6ii and a 35mm 1.8s lens. The exposure was ISO 800 f8.0 and 20 seconds.

Location: The Japanese Garden, Tatton Park Camera Canon 5D Mk4, hand held, image stabilisation activated.Lens Canon 16-35mm f4 L 16mmISO400130th second f10Exposure bias -1.3 stepsThis shot was taken in May 2019, before the spectre of Covid-19 was beyond our contemplation. Tatton Park is a regular haunt of ours and we usually end up there a number of times each year along with Dunham Massey and many of the National Trust properties around.It is a single shot, processed once in Lightroom, so not HDR, although it may appear so. The day was was very bright with big variances in light between dark and light areas. In order to preserve detail I exposed for the sky and this allowed me to bring up the dark areas in Lightroom. As you can see there is a lot of detail hiding in here, but I don't think it makes the shot too 'fussy'.I tend not to take a tripod to this location so to get a reasonable speed at f10 I had to increase the ISO to 400, which my camera copes well with one of the main reasons for buying it. The sweet spot on this lens is between f8 and f14, hence f10 and before I took the shot I checked the depth of field using the facility on the camera.I could have used 'live view' but unless I'm focus stacking or shooting macro I tend not to.I placed the building roughly on the top third point intersection and used the fence to lead your eye into the this shot, across the lake. I was back here earlier this year and the fence has moved so the view is slightly different now, but there are lots of opportunities for good shots at this point and to lose yourself for three or four hours around the park.

Location: Epphaven Cove, North Cornwall Coast As is quite often when I set out with camera, the shot I plan to take is quite often not the one that I come back with. This was the case with this one as I had misjudged the tide times. Therefore the beach, which only appears at low tide, was still covered in water. My planned beachsunset shot was therefore out of the window! I took a few shots from the headland whilst waiting for sunset and hoping the tide would retreat far enough to get down onto the rocks. More cloud cover came in and I almost called it a day. But with 15 minutes to go til sunset I was able to get down into the cove and find this composition. I guess my beach shot will wait til another day.Epphaven Cove is on the North Cornwall coast, about a mile walk from Port Quin. At low tide a beach appears and joins with the neighbouring Lundy Bay. Sunset was at 855 and I took this about 5 minutes before. 6th August 2021Camera Fujifilm XT30. Lens 18-135 XF. Shot in RAWFilters used. Kase circular polariser and K & F concept GND 8 soft grad. Tripod. K & F Concept Carbon FibreShot at 4.5 secs on F11. ISO 80. Edited in Lightroom to bring out the shadows in the foreground and to add a little vibrancy. Then opened in photoshop to use the dodge tool to bring out some highlights in the foreground rocks.

Location: Washington Park, Albany, NY I've been to this park hundreds of times over the past 10 years, and have photographed many elements of it in every season. On this particular morning, I came across this view with the early morning light, and wanted to capture it as I saw it. This was tricky because of the broad range of light values presented from the sky to the lamps and the walkway and ground.To capture this mood I took several exposures bracketing by up to two stops over and under an average metered exposure. I processed the best 3 in Camera Raw for the shadows, highlights, and mid-tones, then stacked them as separate layers in Photoshop, and using masks and a pen tablet, selectively blended the best of each valued exposure, then fine tuned the image, and cropped to achieve the final image and mood presented here.

Location: Adler Planetarium As every time I go to Chicago I stop to admire the beautiful skyline from across the crystal Lake Michigan, I stopped and looked at the magnificent city in which I can call home.

Location: Inverness, CA BEACHED ON A SANDBAR IN Inverness, California, the abandoned Point Reyes Boat would seem to be little more than a large piece of detritus littering an otherwise protected wetland, but dont tell that to the droves of photographers that take advantage of its moldering beauty.Known as the Tomales Bay Shipwreck, the Inverness Shipwreck, or the S.S. Point Reyes, the tall fishing boat was once in danger of being removed, but it was local photographers who actually saved it. The vessel was originally dragged aground by the lands previous owner who had intended to fix the ship up. However, like many fixer-upper projects, he never actually got around to the repairs, leaving the boat, which still bears the name, Point Reyes, to decay on the shore. When the land was taken over by a wetlands restoration firm, the boat was an obvious target for removal. But thanks to the attention the local photographers and visitors gave the wreck, the company allowed it to stay right where it was.Today there is a small sign and trail that leads to the picturesque wreck. Its possible to actually get on the boat, but it is not advised since the wood is rotten and riddled with holes. The last thing youll want to do is enrage a group of photographers by damaging their favorite boat.

Location: Flushing meadow lake As someone who frequently takes strolls by the lake, I have become closely acquainted with its inhabitants and surrounding wildlife. Being the newest member, the duck's vivid coloring is what ultimately drew my attention. Seeing as how the other ducks at the lake have already been familiarized with me, getting a clear shot of them was never an issue. However, this duck's new surroundings had prompted its skittish nature, yet I was fortunate enough to have captured its one moment of peace.

Location: Bar Harbor Maine On my first Fall trip to Maine, I wanted to see Acadia National Park. During my four-day stay, I passed by this location each day and I loved the colors but the sky was overcast each time I passed. However, on my final day visiting Acadia National Park and getting nothing but fog for sunrise at Cadilac Mountain, I headed back to my RV Campground to pack up and get ready to leave. Not even thinking about this location I started driving by and as I glanced over, I hit the brakes and turned around. I took several images with my Sony A7Riii but I didn't have a wide enough lens to get the composition I wanted. So I broke out my Sony RX100 VII and took the shot at f4 1500 15mm. Once I started processing the raw file, I realized this was going to be my favorite image from the six-week road trip. I get to enjoy the image every day as a 24x36 print hanging above my fireplace.

Location: Byron Bay Being from the Central Coast, NSW originally from England we came to Byron Bay on holiday with the intention of possibly looking at relocating later on.Having family in Lismore gave us the desire to move further north.With Covid and the demands of being a Paramedic during a pandemic, my photography went on hiatus. Being in Byron was the perfect opportunity to reconnect with a hobby that not only is great for an escape and my mental health, but something I love to do.The last few sunrises I managed to capture were all a but lacklustre so I wasn't expecting anything special. I just wanted the opportunity to head out and experience the local area before the rest of the tourists woke up and flooded the town.Needless to say, sunrise didn't disappoint! I managed to get the drone up and shoot this shot of Cape Byron Lighthouse.Over the week that I was in Byron, I managed to get shots of the area on both my drone and DSLR and that holiday gave me some of my favourite shots to date.Whenever I am in Byron Bay, I always feel free and relaxed. A feeling I haven't managed to really capture elsewhere in Australia.Who knows, next year you may have a new Paramedic from the Central Coast moving your way!

Location: Taken from the skywalk over Light Street between the Hyatt Regency Parking Garage and the Light Street Pavilion. Taken with a Nikon D3000, January 23, 2015, ISO 100, f11, 13 seconds, 18 mm. It was brutally cold, and the traffic control officers kept stopping traffic at the Conaway Street light just south of me. The constant stopping of traffic really messed with a 13 second exposure not allowing for a smooth flow of traffic. I would have images with cars actually stopped when they had a green light. I finally got this image after about 20 minutes of waiting.

Location: St Monans harbour, Fife Taken during a recent trip to the Fife coast, this quirky composition just needed something a bit to lift it. I think the black and white effect does just that and adds a certain mood to scene

Location: Colter Bay Jackson Lake Grand Teton NP Early evening on June 3, 2021 along the shore of Jackson Lake in Grand Teton National Park. After a week of very cloudy evenings we had finally gotten a break for a few nights and we spent our last night relaxing on the beach. Not expecting to take photos, I wasn't very prepared as I left my tripod at camp. The stone beach acted as my tripod on this shot. Can't wait to get back.

Location: South Perth Foreshore Photo was taken across Lake Hurlingham at the end of Hurlingham Street in South Perth, about 5.15 in the morning. Looks like there is only a tiny strip of land between the lake and the river. In fact, the strip is wider than it looks, with the city lights beyond.Taken on a Canon 6D with 16 - 35mm lens. Settings were lens at 35mm, 200 ISO at f16 for 30seconds.

Location: Victoria Lake, Shepparton, VIC You would find me in the gym in the mornings and being in lockdown had to come with an alternative. One of my friends and I decided to go on walk while able to enjoy the nature on the same time. On the very next day on a our first walk the rising sun and reflection of the trees caught my eye. I couldnt resist myself and straightaway pulled out my phone and clicked the view. It was a different experience in itself of not being inside the gym and able to view the beautiful of nature.

Location: Burley, Hampshire The most embarrassing moment...This image was taken on October 14th in the New Forest at first light around 7am in a very dense morning fog. I had never seen a stag in the wild and as my friend Gary had a good knowledge of where to find them, we met in the woods in the dark of the night and simply proceeded to walk toward the bellowing by ear, in full camo outfit and as silent as we could possibly manage. We finally spotted the distant figure of the deer through a very dense fog and separated, ambushing in the ferns and bushes and hoping the stag would simply walk in front of us. Just as I was getting in position, the alarm clock on my phone, which I had forgotten - went off! The worst rookie mistake conceivable... I scrambled in panic and embarrassment to kill the alarm, sure the stag would simply run away but instead, he immediately began to walk straight towards me coming so close that for a moment I really began to consider my escape route and where the nearest solid tree was but shooting continuously all that time. I actually shot 442 frames within the 3 or 4 minutes the encounter lasted, filling my memory card as fast as my 13-frame buffer would let me.The deer stopped about 25metres away from me, looking directly at my hide, and bellowing in alarm there. This is when I had a handful of good shots including this one. I don't think he was actually able to see me but he definitely was aware of the DSLR on continuous shooting!I was using a canon 70D and a canon 400mm f5.6 prime lense my birthday gift from the week before on a monopod no image stabilization and at this distance, I got a number of shots where the stag fills the frame pretty tightly. Besides, being so close, the fog did not totally kill the colours or contrast and a boost of contrast and saturation in Gimp is all that was needed afterwards in post-prod. Despite the fog, this golden hour was in fact a very nice and luminous morning. Shooting at f5.6 full open, 1320s and ETTR13, electronic noise proved very contained too especially as the subject was filling the frame. Luck of the beginner it was the first time I saw a stag in the wild one of the most exciting moments of my wildlife photography and because everything went my way distance, attitude, light, lense, settings... it also turned out to be my two best wildlife pictures so far... with a funny, yet very embarrassing back story to tell at dinners!

Location: Point Vernon, Hervey Bay This is where 10 Months of Hobby Photography has gotten me to I guess. I am always exploring both locations & techniques with my photos & the two combined to create this picture. It is a long exposure playing around with layered filters & very little photo editing. The location is one of my favourites & on this day the clouds after the rain, the fire & smoke in the air & the tide times all seemed to want to work. I have a simple saying in life, Universe it just wanted to happen for me.

Location: Point Loma I knew the moon would rise over Banker's Hill so I drove around Point Loma trying to find a shot over the bay. There are a lot of secret pathways between streets in Point Loma but they are impossible to find unless you live there. I parked and walked around trying to find a good spot and I noticed a person walking their dog walk between houses. So I followed him at a distance and walked through a path that opened to the view you see! I quickly set up my tripod and took the shot just in time. I got really lucky with the clouds over the moon!

Location: Tucson, AZ - Near Saguaro National Park East Sorry for the lateness of my response. I didn't notice your posting of interest in this shot. I am uploading it in case you are still interested and I thank you for selecting it in the first place.I intentionally picked the day prior to the 100 full moon because the timing of the moonrise 20 some minutes to clear the mountains and the sunset were close enough to ensure sufficient light remained on the mountains to allow their details to show.I exposed the shot for the moon as if I were shooting a rock in the sunlight which is basically the truth - 1125th at f8 and ISO 100 and I bracketed plus and minus from there to capture three exposures for an HDR result. I used a Canon EOS-RP with an adapted EF 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM lens at 300mm. The editing was done in Adobe Lightroom and used Topaz Labs SharpenAI plugin.

Location: Location was Bruntwood Park, Cheadle, Greater Manchester. Taken with an Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III with a Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 45-175mm lens. I've got back into photography recently after a few years break and I've been enjoying the transition to a mirrorless camera, although I still use mostly auto settings. I enjoy how compact and lightweight the camera is, compared to my last DSLR canon camera and so I'm more likely to take it with me. I'd been to the swimming baths and decided to visit the Park on my way home. I was sat on a bench watching some pigeons feed on some crumbs, and then a gorgeous Mandarin Duck decided to join them. What a nice surprise! I've never seen one before. I later saw another male Mandarin Duck and took quite a few photos of them both. I used Photoshop Express for post-editing. I've since learned that the Mandarin Duck is native to China and Japan but there are around 7,000 living in Britain.

Location: Brunswick Park Wednesbury A friend of mine asked if I'd do a shoot with her little boy George. So I wanted to create an autumn look from cloths to colors and had the image in my head that I wanted and had already done a walk of the park for the best location. On the day the weather was dry and bright however the ground was cold and wet, I had a ground seat pad placed on the floor land piled leaves round the base , job done . George sat still for around 20 seconds but as I set up my camera ahead of the shoot , got my shots, someone once said preparation is the key to success . I always think that photos are a window to your memories, so George will have this image for ever.Carl Gorton

Location: Virginia These 18 to 22 ft tall busts of the Presidents are the remains of the former Presidents Park in Williamsburg, VA. The park operated from 2004 to 2010 I actually went in 04, but it proved unpopular and it went bankrupt. The statues were supposed to be crushed but the contractor who was hired to crush them liked them and moved them to his property 1 by 1. They have become immensely popular now, much more in current format than former.

Location: Niagara Falls State Park, NY We planned our annual vacation this year to New York as we wanted to drive and camp due to COVID. Knowing our first stop was going to be Niagara Falls, I began planning this photo shoot weeks in advancelooking at others photos and researching Google maps. I had three sunset opportunities. The first night it rained, but the second night looked promising. With camera and tripod in hand, I arrived about 2 hours before sunset and claimed my position. This became an important move as more and more people arrived to view the sunset over the falls. I use aperture priority for landscapes, thus f11 was my choice for depth of field and ISO 100 to minimize noise. Being on a tripod, shutter speed can be whatever is needed. I always shoot in RAW, and for this shoot, I also used a Little Stopper ND filter to smooth out the water. Setting a 2 second timer, I began taking multiple shots. When I returned home, I excitedly loaded my photos into Lightroom for processing. I limit my Lightroom adjustments as I do not like the picture to be too processed and not look natural. This was my final product, and the best photo from the entire 12 day trip across the state. Needless to say, I was very pleased with end result!

Location: Lee Point reserve I spent 2 hours looking for shooting the lightning at Nightcliff pier, seeing a large storm out towards Gunn Point.This shot was taken at Lee Point reserve on Thursday night using a Nikon D850 14-24mm F8 ISO 800 at 6 seconds.Since it was low tide I was lucky to get the rocks and water pools in the foreground. Most of the lightning was in the distance but a couple filled the sky.

Location: Battery Park Wollongong Was walking back to the car after a late surf at sunset. Still was in my wetsuit and saw the moon reflecting its shine onto the ocean and just thought I would jump into the car grab the phone and take a few shots, hoping for one good one.Once I headed down to the best spot to take a shot of the moon and the water, I realised the rock at the south end of North Beach might make the photo more interesting. I actually took this picture with a phone and wearing a wetsuit, lol.I am usually quite hard on my pictures but this one came up really nice, especially for a phone camera.BTW my phone I took this shot has completely stopped working, it had a really nice camera especially for night shots, which is a shame. I am waiting on a newer phone but don't think the night shots will be as good. I do have a nikon I picked up off a mate, but he had lost the battery charger so I need to source a battery charger for it and hopefully I can take some more nice shots.

Location: Salt River, Arizona I hiked a trail surrounding the Salt River. There were some dangerous cliff areas before arriving at the river. The water was turned off for the river a day or two before I got there. It was quite challenging walking over the receding muddy water, wet seaweed, and slippery river rocks. While the trek was a bit dangerous, I only fell once on my way out. The trip was worth the risk to see these magnificent Wild Horses. This is the life of a Wildlife Photographer.

Location: Hawk Hill, Sausalito, CA I grew up in the Bay Area, but had never done this hike before. There is something about the Golden Gate Bridge that is iconic, a majestic feeling. I was fortunate enough to be alone out there. I needed that as I am back in the Bay to mourn the loss of my mother. With the Golden Gate in front of me, the cityscape in the background, it was hard to take a bad shot, although my SD Card will show plenty of off photos, lol. Should you get the chance, dont pass it up. Thank you for featuring my photo, it is s as honor, I hope you all enjoy!

Location: Kings Park Perth's summer sunrises and sunsets have always been the best in the world. When it's a thin layer of clouds in the sky, you can always hope for a good sunrise. That's the same thing that happened when I clicked that photoI spotted some clouds on the night the other day and hoped to see the excellent sunrise. Around 430 am, I went to Kings Park hoping to see some color, and then that click happened. The knitted flowers from the remembrance day gave me the perfect composition. Camera settings F 1.8, shutter 1100s ISO 50 I used Adobe Lightroom for post-processing.

Location: Clearwater Beach, Florida This photograph was taken at Clearwater Beach just hours after stepping off the plane while visiting my parents on a Florida vacation. It happened to be the best sunset of the entire trip. It was truly a magical evening as the sky morphed through several stunning displays and color shifts. However, this photograph captured arguably the most colorful change of the entire show.

I ws lucky enough to capture the moment.

Location: Cottesleo Beach The idea was to take some unique compositions. The horizon was covered with a thin layer of clouds, and I was hoping for some colors. Then those seaguls came in to quench some thirst of water, and a homo sapien was coming out of the seas. That was a perfect shot for mea great story to tell. Settings F 1.8, Shutter 1100s, ISO 80 The image was later on tuned in the lightroom.

Location: Stirling Range National Park, WA I live close to the Stirling Range National Park in Western Australia and often drive out to the centre of the park where there is a place called Central Lookout. I time it to arrive there 10 minutes before sunset so I have time to climb the hill and get a 360 view of the Park stretching down to the Albany coast and up to the far north through the majestic mountains. My father brought me here as a child, carrying me up the different peaks and giving me a love for this wonderful place with its distinct ecological flavor. I savor those moments, breathing in the refreshing mountain air before climbing down in the dark and driving home. What a treasure!

Location: Aldridge Gardens, Hoover AL Hung out for about a half hour at Aldridge Gardens before the sun went completely down. It was a little dark for action freezing, high shutter speed kind of shooting, so I kept my shutter between 11000 and 11600 and used ISO6400 as a maximum ISO to keep the noise down since I generally have to crop in a bit for wildlife. I lucked out on a few shots.

Location: Residence Inn by Marriott Weehawken Port Imperial I drove to NJ for skyline night shots of New York. It was so cold by the water I kept having to go back to the car to warm up. This put me behind and as 10 pm rolled around I called my wife and told her I did not think it was a good idea to drive back. So I stayed at the residence in. After parking my car in the garage 5th floor. I walked over to the edge and took this shot. Talking with one of the porters at around 630am he said something I had not heard before. He said, 'you can't see New York, from New York.

SO I took one image for each part of my exposure compensation from -3 to 3 and put all 7 images into Aurora HDR and this was the result. I am pretty happy with the way it came out.

Location: Cancun Not a morning person, for photography or for anything else. Warm light falling on eyes through a crack in the curtains, forced me trudge to the window. But the beautiful sunrise prompted me tp pick up my Nikon 750 70-120mm, 2.8f and snap this beautiful sunrise, bathing the resort grounds and buildings in orange glow, with few clouds in the sky. Apparently, early mornings are always this beautiful in Cancun, Mexico.

I chose Denman Prospect parkplayground to try to capture the direction of the lightning and the Telstra tower. The view was amazing. The lens I use is a Nikon 16-80 f2.8 VR lens. I set the camera exposure to 2.0 seconds f5.0 ISO 200 manual and continuous shooting mode.It turned out to be good, and I was happy with it.

Location: Oxford city centre This was one of the first projects I did with my Nikon D90 which I bought last year 2020, after rekindling my love of photography after many years . I was keen to start gettjng pictures as soon as i could and after researching long exposure photography, I delved into the city centre, experimenting with different settings and compositions. This one was the final shot of the night, capturing some movement of the busses and cars which passed, and the well known taxi stop at the cross roads of carfax and the high street. I really enjoyed the evening doing this and my love for my Nikon has grown even more since using it regularly!

Location: Upper East Side NY I took this picture walking around upper East Side Manhattan on 73rd St between 2nd and 3rd Ave. What caught my attention was how the whole block was illuminated by Christmas lights making the impression of a tunnel of light. I love the composition and the way the lights makes you feel, like going through a portal of light.Taking in the middle of winter of February 2021 a few days after a snow blizzard.

Location: Gates Pass, Tucson, Arizona Capturing a breathtaking sunset from the Gates Pass that even a 10-month-old baby couldn't take her eyes off the sunset view. Honestly it was very difficult to get her to look at me. I used a Canon Speedlite on a low tripod at full power with a yellow and a red gels to compliment the same sunset sky color trail off at their feet so there is a continuous movement of the light. The exposure settings were ISO 200, f7.1, 1200 sec using 17-40mm wide angle lens. It was taken December 8, 2021 at 507PM.

Location: Avoca Beach NSW I normally go out at sunrise with a group of mates on the weekend to shoot the dawn. We call ourselves Dawn Raiders. We primarily use drones to take our pictures but we also take our DSLR's. I tend to favor landscapes and the unusual perspective you gain with the drone but we also like our surfing shots. This image was taken with my Mavic Pro 2 drone at the southern end of Avoca Beach looking to the south.

I primarily specialize in macro photography, and I wanted to expand my skill set into landscape. The weather this evening was perfect and the traffic created a beautiful lighting effect with a 10 sec shutter speed that also resulted in the Ghost Tourist at the bottom right of the scene. It was a pretty clear evening with no cloud coverage, so I added the sky overlay in post using a combination of Luminar AI software and Photoshop.Equipment Canon EOS R, 24-105mm, Manfrotto 290 light tripod wColorado Tripod Company ball headSettings ISO 100, F16, 10.0 sec

Location: Colchester I recently found a new walk and took a new lens, a Fujifilm 70-300 f4-5.6, to try out. This image just appeared, complete with light shafts through the trees and a 'light at the end of the tunnel' effect. I'd wanted to use this lens to look through, rather than look at, subjects and this atmospheric view just presented itself! Taken around mid day in January, really sunny and the whole thing had a middle earth feeling that really appealed. I've since returned and intend to do so many more times and put together a small collection in different lightsseasonsweathers.the settings were iso640, 105mm, f9 at 1100s The image is as it came out of the camera Fujifilm XT4 as I didn't think it needed any enhancements.

Location: Tenney Park This was one of the first few photos that I took with my new Nikon Z50. Recently upgraded to a mirrorless body and needed to take it out to see what it could do. Needless to say it produced some great work. Walking around downtown and the surrounding areas of Madison provides an amazing view of both natural and manmade surroundings. The textured and structural bridge surrounded by the trees on both sides, the stillness of the water below and the great contrast of the clouds above made this a photo worth sharing.

Location: St Peter's Square, Manchester This is the Midland Hotel in central Manchester. A grand old building, often used to house dignitaries, celebrities, and other VIPs when visiting Manchester. I love the gothic nature of this building, and have seen lots of great pictures of it over the years, so wanted to try something a little different. I captured this using my Sigma 16mm lens 24mm equivalent on my APS-C Sony A6400 from the other side of the road during December 2021. But since I still couldn't fit the whole building into the frame of my camera, I did a freehand panorama, taking 6 pictures in total, and stitching them together in Lightroom. Each photo was taken at 1125s, ISO400, f2.8 trying to keep some overlay between each image to assist the stitching

Location: Horsey Gap, Norfolk County, UK We went to Horsey to look at the seals and got plenty of photos of them too, but I've always enjoyed taking photos of structures and textures. The waves were lapping onto the wooden groyne, and the texture of the wood, and the rusty hardware just started telling a story. While everyone is looking at the cute seals, the groynes stand there, doing their job protecting the shore from erosion, preserving the seal's environment, taking on the sea and the wind, day after day, year after year.

Location: Millennium Bridge, London, looking towards Blackfriars Bridge. Waterloo SunsetI had been doing some street photography around London. I ended up on Millennium Bridge, just as the sun was setting over Blackfriars Bridge and Waterloo, which was too good an opportunity. As my main purpose had been street photography, I had decided to travel light and not take a tripod, so I had no option but to take the shot handheld, despite the fading light. I wanted a decent depth of field and to minimise camera shake, so I had to push the ISO a bit. I am quite pleased with the result. Taken with my Fujifilm XT3, Fujifilm XC 16-50mm at 26mm.

Location: Brooklyn This former grain elevator was built to help NY compete to be the nations greatest port, after Baltimore and Philadelphia respectively. Sadly once the grain elevator was completed it not only failed to generate a profit but became redundant, financially impractical and other more cost effective sites were favored at the time it cost up to four times to unload grain in NYC then anywhere else. My reasons for visiting the site were two fold historical and to chronicle. Historical due to the fact these locations are being demolished and to experience a NYC site with history instead of just reading about it was a major draw for me. As a chronicler, because now I can see this architectural marvel at the time of concrete and space in person and photograph it. Looking for lines, symmetry, angles and demonstrate through photography what it would be like to see as an employee at the time would have seen.

But have learned that the winter sunsets can be the most spectacular.

Location: Battersea, London. I decided that I wanted to go to take photos somewhere that I hadn't done so before. It wasn't exactly a pin in a map of the world moment but randomly picking somewhere on the London Underground map. I ended up with Battersea Power Station tube station. The station had only opened at the end of last year and I hadn't managed to get there before. After taking a few photos of the power station I walked around the area. There were a lot of new apartment buildings being built and among them I find this amazing building.

Location: Atwell, Perth, Western Australia. I took this Park at Atwell near the banks of the Swan River.I positioned myself about twenty metres from the Osprey nest, hoping to catch the male Eastern Osprey returning to its nest after a hunt.My patience was rewarded after about an hour, when the raptor appeared with a decapitated fish to feed its young.I was pleased with the image but felt it needed another element, so I added the moon, which has so many connotations, in post production.

Location: Gascoyne Junction W.A Photo was taken early morning in October 21 and it was the start of my connection to country sessions with local Aboriginal families who chose this spot. This spot on the river is dry most of the year, so to see it with water, totally transforms the region! Birdlife in abundance and environment is lush & green. Im a canon user, this was the mkii with 70-200mm, specs are ISO 500 200 f2.8 SS 1800The ibis was on the rocks when we arrived and took off as I got my camera out. Many thanks Maryanne

Location: Abrams Falls, Cades Cove Abrams Falls is one of the most visited and most photographed spot in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Thus, I hoped to create somewhat of a different perspective. I chose a long exposure shutter speed, a wide angel lens, and positioned the tripod approximately 75 yards from the falls. This was to create the feeling of calm and peacefulness by emphasizing the large runoff-pool in the foreground, even though the falls were running full with an aggressive volume of water. The entire scene is to be appreciated as a relaxing place to spend some time, versus singling out the power of the falling water. Canon 5D Mk4, 20mm, f20, 4, iso 100.

Location: Saltaire Saltaire was a place i'd never been to before, but I'd heard good things about the place. I also knew that i'd be in with a chance of some moody shots, as it had been raining all day. I didn't really know my way around, so I just parked up & looked out for the mill chimney which dominated the horizon. Once i'd reached the canal tow path, I was delighted to see that the path was full of puddles, so I knew I would be in with a great chance of a 5050 reflection shot. I haven't seen anybody attempt an image like this one either, so i'm also rather pleased with it's originality.Edited in lightroom & photoshop.Nikon D750, nikkor 24-70 F2.8ISO 100, F11, 150s

Location: Dunmow I work in agricultural so I'm often lucky enough to capture beautiful scenery and skyscapes, this picture was taken in a field in Margaret Roding near Dunmow just before dusk. As the evening light started to disappear and the sun was glowing in the distance, I took this image. I used my phone this time as it all I had to hand Huawei p30 camera set in pro mode to give a bit more control of the iso. I used photo shop express to add clarity and contrast to the sky and to bring out the detail of the clouds.

Location: Browns Ravine Recreation Area, Eldorado Hills I had been scouting areas for cool sunset photos. I thought I'd return to Browns Ravine after being there last month. My setup started during golden hour and then sunset. My goal is always to get the shot of the sun, just as it touches the horizon to capture a sunburst. I used a long lens, so it is so noticeable. However, the goal was achieved! A colorful sunset and a sunburst to boot!

Location: greenway westside 60th st This is one of my favor N.Y.C. scene , a formative relic of Old New York industrial past ,not many left . I assume it was a docking sand unloading station for cargo ships. It hard to tell for much of it has been dismantled by years of neglect. I have tried to shot this scene in the past with not much success. It all about the proper degree of light. Seeing it faces the West the rich colors and details of the rusted iron were darkened by the backlight . I used my new Canon r6 ,which showed great dynamic range . Another important factor was use of a good polarized filter. It made all difference by bringing out the deep rich blue of the sky and highlighted the streaks of clouds. Not much lightroom editing was needed

Location: Pryibil Beach, Glen Cove, New York The photograph was taken on March 17, 2022, in Glen Cove, New York, USA.I went to the beach with my dog on this foggy St. Patrick's Day to capture pictures and videos of a bridge and seagulls. I knew the fog atmosphere would not last. That magical moment had to be captured. In my mind, I saw what was possible, but when I arrived at the location... I was amazed by the weather. It was a mix of cold, breezy, and humid that anyone else would turn around and head home. I took out the camera and walked for about an hour 453 to 553pm. Some kids passed by and I waited for the perfect shot.In the end, you only see this formidable white wall of fog, and you don't even realize what lies behind it then, you come to your senses and realize it's the vastness of the ocean. Right there, you just surrender to the moment, and it feels like a walk into nothingness.

Location: The Levant Mine complex, Cornwall Taken on holiday in Cornwall last August. I had, for long time wanted to got to Cornwall and photograph, amongst other things, some of the old mine buildings.The Levant Mine was worked for tin and copper between 1820 and 1930. There are quite a few buildings and chimneys that form the complex with some great angles for shots available. I read up on likely locations in 'The Photographers Guide to Cornwall by E. Bowness, published by Long Valley Books, which gave some very useful information on locations and places for good shots. On this particular day we looked at the Botallack Mine, Wheal Coates Mine and Levant Mine all of which yielded great sublects. Luckily the weather played ball and this shot was one of my favourites from the day.

Location: I-25 & 44th Bridge A buddy and I took off to shoot the city of Denver on 3-12-22. I did not have any new shots of the city and I wanted to get some really nice photos capturing the whole city at night from multiple locations. At our second stop, my buddy Nathan McDaniel said he had seen a nice shot on the web but was unsure where it was, so he started mapping it out. We finished up shooting where we were and packed up the gear to find this little gem and as always Nathan led me right to it. We shoot at night all the time, usually Milky Way and Light Painting, almost anything, so I have come to trust his judgment and collaborate often. We pulled up to the bridge at 44th and I-25, grabbed our bags and found the hole in the fence, and started shooting, changing camera settings and glass on the fly to grab the best images we could. Settings and equipment Canon 6D Mark II tripod, intervalometer 50mm Canon or Nifty 50 f22 iso 800 9 sec . Edited in LightRoom. Thanks for the opportunity to post my work! I love the page and all the great work all of you do!

Location: Exmoor I originally wanted to frame the old masonry arch bridge in the royal forest of Exmoor near Doone Valley, but wasn't completely happy with the light. To the side of the old bridge lay a small stream that I decided to investigate. The scene in the image really caught my attention to I decided to throw all my eggs in one basket and concentrate on getting the scene and totally discarding the old bridge which I came to shoot.As the light was overcast and quite dull and bland, I decided to try various shutter speeds and apertures to get the job done without the use of an ND filter.

Location: Arleston, Derby I took this shot on my way home from work as part of my daily commute between Derby and Nottingham. I had an idea that the sun might set in this position, but nine times out of ten the sun's orb would be obscured by cloud, so I think I was really lucky to get this shot.

Location: Silo Park, Auckland This image was taken on a meetup with Auckland Photography Group at Silo Park. I used a 1320 sec shutter speed to try to freeze the flame of the lighter and the smoke, plus f6.3 to get a shallow depth of field against the metal silo behind. I dont shoot in B&W very often, but felt this effect highlights the face and the hands and added a more industrial feel to the Gentleman on a motorcycle.

Location: Alex Corner, Alexandra Headland QLD AU the early bird gets the worm It was worth it to leave my place at 400AM to meet fellow photographers for the sunrise photo shoot.

I chose one of the eight shots taken of the silhouettes that best seized that moment. Canon R5, Canon 17-85mm F4.0 85mm F22, 1500s, ISO 100in Photoshop temp 5650k, added little contrast and shadows, reduced highlights and whites, sharpened texture and clarity. b'

Location: The River Wey at Tilmans Corner After missing a week of gorgeous calm, misty, atmospheric mornings, I finally got a day off work, got out of bed at 5am and headed out with camera and tripod to capture the blanket of mist that filled the valleys on previous mornings. Typically on this day the scene was not so photogenic. I was out of bed and out of the house so I decided to head to a spot on the River Wey where I had planned a sunrise visit since the Autumn.As the light was changing fast and just as I had composed this near perfectly formed tree in my viewfinder, I was greeted with this short spell of pre-dawn glow. Within minutes the sun had peaked over the tree line and much of the mist had gone.Shot at f9, ISO160 for 120 sec at a 70mm focal length.

Location: Hatton, Cheshire The photo was taken early evening on the last day of March 2022 on a Pixel 6, then edited in Snapseed to produce a bw image.The weather was constantly changing that day between overcast, partial sun and full sunshine.This is a regular path I take across the fields when walking the dogs but I usually take it in a morning. As a consequence I have never witnessed the alignment of the sun and the stile in this way before and I just had to capture it.

I am grateful for this shot as I was trying to capture the sun shining over the horizon onto the lake and reflecting on the water, however someone walked right in front of the sunset creating this amazing silhouette. Minimal editing was done in Lightroom to lift up the shadows, however I enjoy the image straight out of camera with the deep contrast just as much.

On Friday the 15th, I went down for my photos of the Sullivans, 2 days before the FAA put their restrictions in place for Airspace around The Sullivans.

In the same store we found the rest of the material, chocolate eggs and the gardener's bucket, at first it wasn't like her mother imagined because she wanted a fruit basket but in the end the bucket was great. It had to be fast before dark. It was my day off and it couldn't be any other. Camera Settings 50mm lens, F 2.8 for the sun 1200 sec for Maria's speed.

The bridge is in itself almost its own building at three-stories tall and featuring wall to wall windows on either side so that people could watch the streets below.

And going out with my camera and just being in nature has been a form of therapy for me for the last few years. Especially during the pandemic. I never really got into photography for the money or to be some world renowned photographer. I simply just love it . It makes happy and i love when others can connect with my photos and it makes them happy as well.

Location: Omaha, NE I was out scouting one foggy morning trying to see if I could capture something good. It was at this moment that I felt truly blessed to be able rise with the sun. When I arrived on scene I couldn't help but notice a pine tree and a ground that was covered with pinecones. I believe spiritually that there is a meaning among many things and one of those is pinecones. Did you know that pinecones are seen as a symbol of enlightenment and illumination in the Christian faith Almost 9 years ago now I walked away from alcohol and drugs and decided to seek help for addiction and trauma. I have turned my life around 180 degrees and fought to be the best version of myself. Simply put, what I'm trying to say is that I was gifted to be enlightened by others. To learn, grow and achieve better outcomes. I also believe that my soul is illuminated brighter than it's ever been. I will never fully understand why or how the universe works it's magic exactly, but I am truly blessed to be alive and be able to see things clearly for what they are. You could say the symbol of the pinecone is a captured picture version of the journey that I have rode for the past 9 years.

Location: Venice Rookery Venice Rookery is an Audubon managed property. They have dozens of condo style birdhouses that are all inhabited by Purple Martins raising their young in the springtime. These birds are not usually seen here in SW Florida. The houses are designed to be cranked down for maintenance by Audubon volunteers. The birds have no problem with that arrangement. They are used to human presence, allowing me to take all the shots I want from about 40 feet away as they feed the babies insatiable appetites. The adults come flying in with dragonflies and other insects every couple minutes. On this day, I took scores of these pictures in the late morning when the sun was bright so that I could stop the action with a quick shutter. The landing and food exchange happens so fast with these swift birds, it is impossible to catch the action after the landing. The technique that I developed was to focus on the babies and wait for them to lean forward and open their mouths. That meant that they could see food coming. At that moment, I would hit a burst of photos and hope for the best. This photo is one of my favorites, catching the perfect moment in the exchange, with clear views of each bird. This was shot using a 400mm lens on a crop sensor set at f5.6, 14000 second, ISO 800.

Location: Worcestershire Managed to get back back out and catch this wee beast. He was unsure at 1st, who can blame him ! But with the camera on silent shutter, he wasn't spooked at all so I let him carry on unmolested on his merry way,didn't get as close this time and this is in aps-c mode and at full zoom on the Tamron 70-180mm lens. Overall though,happy to see him & watch him tip toe around the wood.Unlike me who sounds like a dunk elephant stumbling abouts &128514Sony UK A7R3 & Tamron Lenses UK 70-180mm f2.8 lens.

Location: Utah One of my favorite things to photograph are forgotten buildings. I had my eye on this old house for about 2 years, never being able to photograph it due simply to a lack of time and other geological interests to photograph. Located in Utah, in one of the darkest areas of the state, I knew I could line up the galaxy with the shack and create a decent composition. The finished result is pretty far from what I originally had in mind, in fact, this picture was a complete accident. I had the camera set with a 20 second timer and shooting in increments of 3 photos each at 30 second exposure times. I was inside the house, light painting the inside with flashlights while the camera was exposing. I was so focused on light painting that I did not realize the third picture had not been taken yet. I turn my headlamp on the red setting and walk into the night toward the camera. As I approach the tripod I hear the shutter close and realize my mistake. Just like our lives, sometimes mistakes can lead to something amazing.This photo was edited in Adobe Lightroom. It is a single shot. The two red streaks on the right of the frame are from headlamps a buddy and I were wearing. The ghost hand also on the right is my hand reaching for the tripod, illuminated by the headlamps.

Location: Canberra The photo under the bridge is an iconic one every photographer in Canberra has taken. This bridge is soon to be facing a change as it encorporates light rail so I decided I should take my turn to record it as it stands today.I took the photo just after sunrise with early morning light making the environment glow. I used a 10 stop filter and a long exposure to smooth the water and shot from a low perspective so I could include the beautiful autumn scene on the far side of the lake.k

Location: Gainsborough Myself and Murphy my German shepherd, love long walks in the evenings after I finish work. We tend to get ou around 7.30 - 8.00pm. We try not to go the same places. Whilst walking on a playing field Murphy decided to run through some hawthorns. I followed and emerged on top of hill in meadow with the sun setting in front of me. It was a slice of paradise tucked in the middle of an urban landscape.
