"Washed Ashore"

Walking Muri Beach on the South Pacific island of Rarotonga, I imagined the only object I saw on this section of the beach - this shiny green coconut - as having traveled here from the small motu (island) offshore.  I kept the exposure time slow enough to suggest motion, representing the voyage it had taken.

Going Out with a Splash of Colour

It wasn't like this tonight and looking at the weather forecast it certainly isn't going to be like this tomorrow ...I think it could be a day for either being lazy or catching up with some work. Going outside doesn't look like an option.

Stay classy G+, have a great weekend everybody!

Kilauea Dreaming

I've finally returned from Kauai and had a chance to briefly take a look at some of my takes. Looks like the Google+ desktop experience has changed in my absence. 

Here's the first one I'm going to share with you all. It's a shot I took at Kilauea lighthouse just as the new day began. 

This month of May celebrated the 100 year anniversary of this lighthouse.

Sea Turtle!

How often can I say I've ever seen a wild sea turtle come on to a beach? Never! Pretty cool to see this in person. This was at Poipu beach in Kauai. 

This photo was taken well after dark. The exposure is 20 seconds long @ ISO 320. There was some blurring in the other shots I got because of slight movements of his head. This one turned out pretty good!

Queen's Bath

Tried to bring something different to this amazing location. It's a natural pool on the Northeastern coast of Kauai. Fish swim in it, and so can you. As long as the ocean isn't dangerous. This whole area of coast is fairly dangerous, and claims lives every year...*

I used a polarizer to cut the reflection to showcase the fish that inhabit the pool here.

Pier Under Stars

The town of Cayucos, CA, seems to be built around this lovely pier. 

I made a point to shoot it a couple times in different light. This was a favorite. Ambient lamp lighting the scene and throwing the long shadows, ISO 1600, 25 seconds.

Sherbet Sandwich... Big Bend, California
I was musing about HDR photography on my blog today: http://goo.gl/uS2Yf. I don't comment on the merits or demerits of HDR very often. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really matter what I think. Hashing something over and over that has no answer never seems productive to me. Doing that makes me feel like I'm wasting air I might need later on for something really important. So I usually step aside and let others have at it.

See, the whole conversation is all part of the greater concept of (what is and isn't) art. That discussion has been raging on for centuries and STILL hasn't been resolved to anyone's satisfaction. I'm big on resolutions. So I go about my business, making images that make me happy and sharing a bit about what I do to those who are interested. Seems like a good plan.

Testing new G+ look with this photo... and photo before :)

This view is so bigger then before.

Location on the photo is great: there is 7 lakes in the valley on the way to Triglav mountain (2.886m). Not so hard to climb, great hiking tour.

Skradinski buk waterfall, Krka river, Croatia

Fresh photo from today :)
Today I visited this awesome place.
We took round walking  path, without boat.

Skradinski buk is one of the most attractive parts of the Krka National park.
It is the largest travertine cascade system in Europe
It is a massive, clear, natural pool with high waterfalls at one end and cascades at the other, located in the Krka National Park in Croatia.
It is the lowest of the three sets of waterfalls formed along the Krka river.
In an area 400 m in length and 100 m in width there are 17 waterfalls and the total difference in height between the first and the last falls is 47.7 m.
Due to the wealth and variety of geomorphological forms, vegetation, and the various effects caused by the play of light on the whirlpools, Skradinski buk is considered to be one of the most... more »

Pick your place to relax, island of Vis, Croatia

Odaberi svoje mjesto za opuštanje, Vis

When hiking on the island of Vis you can see many good non crowdy relaxing places to enjoy.
If not happy with offered you can go to this island in the background - Saint Andrew, in the mist, but after that is open sea and Italy :)
More about St. Andrew island: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svetac

Hope to return some day again to this island , so much more to explore and visit here. I think my friend +mamo delpero agrees :)

We were there only for four days which was not enough, not even close.
Hope +Frank Bramkamp like this too :)

Just a quick nap...
Lions spend much of their time resting and are inactive for about 20 hours per day. Although lions can be active at any time, their activity generally peaks after dusk with a period of socializing, grooming, and defecating. Intermittent bursts of activity follow through the night hours until dawn, when hunting most often takes place. They spend an average of two hours a day walking and 50 minutes eating.

Flehmen response
In the flehmen response, tigers draw back their lips in a manner that makes them appear to be “grimacing” or “smirking”. The action, which is adopted when examining scents left by other animals either of the same species or of prey, helps expose the vomeronasal organ (also called the Jacobson’s organ) and draws scent molecules back toward it. This behavior allows animals to detect scents, for example from urine, of other members of their species or clues to the presence of prey. Flehming allows the animals to determine several factors, including the presence or absence of estrus, the physiological state of the animal, and how long ago the animal passed by.
This adult female tiger appeared near the gate of the Ranthambore National Park, one very hot April afternoon.

Aegean Islands' colours
Patmos (Greek, Πάτμος) is a small Greek island in the Aegean Sea. Its main communities are Chora (the capital city), and Skala, the only commercial port. 
The churches and communities on Patmos are of the Eastern Orthodox tradition. Patmos is mentioned in the Christian scriptural Book of Revelation. The book's introduction states that its author, John, was on Patmos when he was given (and recorded) a vision from Jesus. Early Christian tradition identified this writer John of Patmos as John the Apostle. As such, Patmos is a destination for Christian pilgrimage. Visitors can see the cave where John is said to have received his Revelation (the Cave of the Apocalypse), and several monasteries on the island are dedicated to Saint John.
In 1999, the island's historic center Chora, along with the Monastery of Saint John the Theologianand th... more »

Mono Lake Sunrise
I was shooting a time-lapse video on this morning when the card filled (I had forgotten to format it).  I changed the card  but that created a small glitch in the timelapse.

Then the battery died!  I changed that. To get the battery out I also had to take my Canon off of the tripod head using a Manfrotto quick release plate. It doesn't necessarily snap exactly back into place, so you also typically get a sudden jump in some direction of a few pixels.

Both happened during the peak sunrise color, so I couldn't simply make a video from before or after the glitch, I had the best light interrupted twice!

I did keep shooting though, so I have lots of still pictures from the morning, and this is how we learn.  I'm a lot less likely to make those same mistakes now when I shoot.

Golden Gate Bridge at Sunrise
I had a request yesterday for a print of an image from this sunset by the Golden Gate Bridge, so I uploaded this shot to my SmugMug gallery as well to provide a couple of options to select from: http://jeffsullivan.smugmug.com/Landscapes/San-Francisco-Bay-Area/3792961_m27SrJ
The other one is a little soft in places because it was shot at 50mm, which offered less depth of field.  This one was shot at 24mm so it's sharp all over.  I could have gone for a smaller aperture, but that light was changing quickly and that would've resulted in exposures so long that I'd have fewer compositions (as well as more noise).

One Year Ago Today: Wildfire in Record Hot Year in the U.S.

U.S. Roast to Hottest Year on Record, By a Landslide
"How hot was it? The temperature differences between years are usually measured in fractions of a degree but last year blew away the previous record, set in 1998, by a full degree Fahrenheit."

"The year featured a La Niña weather pattern, which tends to cool the global climate overall, and scientists expect it to be the world's eighth- or ninth-warmest year on record."

Paradise Found, Florida Keys, FL - #Photographyworkflow, #historythursday, #howtophotograph

Dry Tortuga is truly a paradise with its blue green water and uniquely designed Fort Jefferson. Fort Jefferson, was constructed in the mid-19th century as an effort for the United States to protect the extremely lucrative shipping channel. The only way to get to Dry Tortugas is to either take a sea plane or via a boat (there is a daily ferry service from Key West).

How was this image created?

This is a photograph taken from a single engine plane. I chartered a plane for the sole purpose of taking an aerial photograph of this island.The requirements for the airplane were that it was an over wing aircraft and I would be able to open the windows while in flight. We flew to Dry Tortugas just as the sun was rising and I instructed the pilot to circle the island. We took... more »

Silent Motion, Blackwater State Park, WV

We love to shoot in the West Virginia. There are some fabulous places to take photograph and the colors are stunning...specially in spring and Fall. I took this photograph of Elakala Falls in spring when the falls is surrounded by the rich green moss. What I love about this photograph is the fact that it captures flow of water which appears to be standing still....If you look at the larger version of the photograph you will notice white streaks that indicated how the water was flowing around the foreground element.

__How was the image created?

I used a circular polarizer to cut down on the glare...even though it was an heavy overcast day the polarizer helped in bringing out the rich colors in the wet rocks. The composition was selected to avoid a bridge directly over the falls and to capture the motion of the bubbles as... more »

Bridge and the Tower

Daiba area of Tokyo had no shopping building when I was young. Still a lot of young couples visited there by their cars. The view of the central part of Tokyo from there was outstanding. So I was so unhappy when the Rainbow Bridge was completed. I thought it ruined the nighttime view of Tokyo (Of course there was no lights on the bridge at the time). So when I visited Daiba a couple of weeks ago, I captured this image to share the feeling I had when I was young with you. But once I saw the Rainbow Bridge this way, I realized that I kind of liked the details of its structure ...

Left Alone in the Light Trails

I had a guest from Naples, Italy. He's a Flickr/Facebook friend mine, and we took a short evening walk in Shinjuku, Tokyo. I used my main camera most of the time, but when I reached this spot, I decided to use the Nikon Coolpix A for a long-exposure shot.

Google+ 2nd Anniversary Photo Walk in Tokyo is almost here!

The last place we visited on the Google+ First Anniversary Photo Walk Tokyo that we had in June, 2012 was Daiba, Minato-ku. To get there, we took the Yurikamome Line and went across the Rainbow Bridge. Before reaching the main part of the bridge, the train passed the loop part which, some of you may know, I love so much. We were lucky enough to take the front seat (the Yurikamome Line is computerized and the front seats are for passengers), and saw this wonderful sunset even in the middle of the rainy season! I bursted three or four shots, and one of them survived and made it here a year ago. The second anniversary is now approaching, so I decided reedit the image (I cleaned all the reflections on the front glass) and share it with you again. The Second Anniversary Photo Walk Tokyo is scheduled on Saturday, June 29. If you are... more »
