          Top 1000 most followed active
        photographers sharing content on G+
                  Circle One: J to Z

This  is the second of two circles,  The first was shaerd on 16 May here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/103236949470535942612/posts/FPsHj9E2QEo.  The circles have been divided alphabetically to help give more exposure to people with fewer followers and shared at different times to help keep down the stream saturation. 

Please plus, comment and share.  This circle has no requirements for future participation but your support and encouragement is appreciated. 

It has been two weeks since I announced my intent to update my circle of the 500 most followed photographers on G+.  I decided to do things a bit differently this time and so I'll share the top 1000.   To buildthe circles and the list I enlisted the aid of  +Bill Wood

1– Go to your best shot in the lightbox and copy the link in the address bar and put it in the comments here. if the link you've gathered ends in "posts" it will go directly to your profile stream, NOT the image and I won't be able to share your best shot. I won'tspe... more »

A TtV of an Amtrac train for +Gene Bowker :)

The TtV was made with a Ciro-Flex TLR camera and if you don't already know... a TtV is where you take a photo of the viewfinder of antique camera. TLR cameras are typically used to make TtV's but I also have a Salyut that I like to shoot with as well. The Salyut has a clear ground glass back on it thats pretty slick.

July 23rd, 2012 Me at the terminus of the Svínafellsjökull Glacier, South East Iceland with my trusty F-Stop Tilopa BC backpack. Amazing to say the least to have only seen glaciers in photos and video and then to be up close and personal with one.

I had forgotten my black jacket in Akureyri but my friends there put out the word for anyone going to Reyðarfjörður where I was staying the next night. The jacket arrived about mid-night at the hostel up the street from the AirB&B I was staying. They call it Niceland for a reason. :)

Roughly the top 500 most followed photographers have more than 23'000 followers.  To be in the

you need to have approximately 13'800 followers.  That might not be as high as you thought.

if you're interested in seeing these two circles please comment, plus and share this post. If you want to be in the circles you will need to have approximately 13'800 followers.  You will also need to have the word photographer in your tagline.  In the past I have assembled the list manually and this has caused some trouble when people got left off by accident.

Lenticular cloud over the Mono Craters

As a boy I formed a strong attachment to these craters on road/camping/fishing trips from the West slopes of the Sierras where I grew up. When we dropped down from one of the mountain roads into the Mono Basin and I got my first sight of them it was like some unobtainable Shangri-La beckoning on the horizon. On this day it appeared that aliens in a sleek art deco spaceship masquerading as a lenticular cloud were making a pit stop. I didn't get the memo as I had to start the long drive home right after this photo. ;)

The Mono Craters, were formed from from eruptions 40,000 to 600 years ago. The chain of craters actually starts on the North side of Mono Lake and includes the two volcanic islands in Mono Lake. There's lots of pumice and obsidian in this area and I would imagine that the local Native American bands traded it with the bandson... more »

For Earth Day 2013. The documentary "Thin Ice" is being screened around the world and also on Vimeo.com. An excellent watch!

"In recent years climate science has come under increasing attack, so geologist Simon Lamb took his camera to find out what is really going on from his climate science colleagues. Simon followed scientists at work in the Arctic, Antarctic, Southern Ocean, New Zealand, Europe and the USA. They talk about their work, and their hopes and fears, with a rare candour and directness. This creates an intimate portrait of the global community of researchers racing to understand our planet's changing climate."

HAPPY EARTH DAY!

In the late 1940s, English astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle remarked, “Once a photograph of the Earth, taken from the outside, is available, a new idea as powerful as any in history will be let loose.”

NASA’s study of Earth’s climate and atmosphere has long been a central focus of its science mission. But perhaps no single piece of research has had as much impact as the simple photographs of Earth taken by NASA’s early astronauts, who fulfilled Fred Hoyle’s prediction.

"Join us Sunday 3am to 5am Hawaiian Standard Time (GMT -10) for a peek into an actual observation run with astronomers: Kevin Baines (JPL), Tom Stallard (University of Leicester) and Steve Miller (University College London). They will be looking at Saturn's aurora using the NIRSPEC instrument on Keck II, in a attempt to lead to a deeper understanding of the coupling between Saturn's magnetosphere and upper atmosphere. "

I want to tell you a very unpleasant truth about climate change. It's a lot more serious than we've been discussing in public.

(Warning the first: This is not going to be a cheerful sort of post. It will, very likely, leave you feeling deeply unsettled. If you do not want this, you should stop reading now.)

(Warning the second: This is not a post on which to say "I don't believe climate change is happening!" or "this is a left-wing plot!" or "I don't believe there's adequate proof that humans are causing it!" There are times that I have the patience and interest to discuss what are essentially political arguments about science, and this is not one of them. If you believe this stuff, it's because you have a deep personal need to do so, and best of luck to you with that. But I'll just delete such comments on this post.)

Stand for something or you will fall for anything. Today's mighty oak is yesterday's nut that held its ground. ~said by Rosa Parks and others 

California poppies and a nice old oak. California poppies close up during the night so shooting during the day is required which is kind of the opposite of what I'd like for a scene like this. The poppies are blooming everywhere here in spite of it being a very dry year.

Evening at Grant Ranch which was part of what was once Rancho Cañada de Pala, a Mexican land grant dating back to 1839 in California. The old barn of course is not that old. Last weekend I spent a very nice couple of hours walking through this area making a few captures. Its been warm and humid so I kept an eye out for early season rattlesnakes. ;) 
Sorry to post and run...off the farmers market...Hoping you all have a nice Saturday!

China Camp State Park, Marin County

I made this capture during the San Francisco Bay Area Long Exposure Photowalk organized by +Nathan Wirth (linked below) in back January. I really enjoy history so I spent some time browsing this cool old building. China Camp was a shrimp fishing village in the late 1800's. About 500 Cantonese Chinese immigrants lived there. Thankfully, this park is still being maintained in spite of the budget crunch in California.

This is a gentle HDR made from 3 bracketed RAW files, some processing in Nik Color Efex and then Silver Efex Pro. This a large file so you should be able to zoom in a bit.

Aldeyjarfoss, North Iceland

This was the first stop on our wonderful and long drive into the Icelandic Central Highlands last July. Helga and Völundur told me that there was a future plan to divert the water from this river to create a reservoir behind Fljótshnjúka Dam in order to generate hydroelectric power for an aluminum smelter. I later learned that there were plans to damn most of the large rivers all around Iceland in order to supply cheap power to aluminum companies such as Alcoa. 

If you use aluminum you're likely involved as a consumer. If you love photos of the gorgeous Icelandic countryside please add your voice to the petition below. 

The petition was started by Icelanders concerned about protecting their country's beautiful heritage. It will be presented to the President of Iceland.

You can make a difference!

Comet #PanSTARRS  on the evening of March 12th, 2013. 

The Oort cloud pitched Comet PanSTARRS towards the Sun millions of years ago and in a slow motion game of catch the Sun will then sling the comet back out to the far regions of our Solar System.

The PanSTARRS comet was discovered in June 2011 by the Panoramic Survey Telescope & Rapid Response System located on top of Haleakala, Maui, Hawaii. The PanSTARRS camera is reported to be the largest digital camera ever built, recording almost 1.4 billion pixels per image. It was designed as an early warning system for dangerous objects approaching Earth.

“Every oak tree started out as a couple of nuts who decided to stand their ground.” ~unkown

An old oak still naked from Winter in the early Spring. Going for a film sort of look. I wanted to wait for the Sun to touch the horizon but had to get down the road before a gate was locked.
