These two gulls weren't messing around.  They were fighting quite aggressively for control of the building ledge, which was not only the closest perch to -- but also afforded the best view of -- the fish vendor's cart about 20 meters away.

Mighty Moody Mitre Peak | Fiordland, New Zealand

When there are 20+ folks shooting the same scene as you it can be tough to get a nice wideangle shot of the scene without later having to become well-acquainted with the context-aware fill and clone stamp tools in Photoshop. Alternatively, you can wait until everyone clears out to get the shot. The third alternative is not OK in my book: run in front of everyone else to get the shot first. I've always had relatively good luck in this respect with group shoots and photowalks. After 18 months of taking part in multi-person photo outings I have only had to use my signature sarcastic utterance twice: "Hey, thanks for giving us all the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of the clone stamp tool! Appreciate it!" :)

Wishing you all a nice weekend :)

All of my Lightroom presets are FREE all day today!!
Help share to get the word out

Download them now because at midnight PST, they will all return to being $5 per package. Happy Friday!!

(My personal opinion on presets is that they can provide a good starting spot for editing your photo, however, no preset is a substitute for good composition, light, and timing.)

monkey creek | fiordland national park, new zealand

I think it was supposed to be a 15-minute stop, but it must have turned out to be an hour by the time all was said and done.  I'm glad no one was in any huge hurry -- this was a really scenic spot.

that funky sound | fjordland, new zealand

A few dozen of us descended upon this beautiful spot one morning this past February to dodge incoming tides and bloodthirsty sandflies in hopes of capturing a great sunrise.  Mission accomplished.  I've been seeing lots of great Milford Sound shots posted by folks that were there that morning.  How can you not love low clouds clinging to lush mountains?

morning glory | wanaka, new zealand

There's really not too much that needs to be said about this, except thank you to +Bel Jones for suggesting that +Greg Benz and I stop in Wanaka.  It's a beautiful spot full of nice people; a great way to start our post-workshop wanderings.

It's 1:00am, and I'm going to bed.  Buenas noches, G+ :)

grand defunct railroad | felton, ca

I need to spend more time at Henry Cowell SP.  I love that it's been sunny and warm(ish) the past few times I've been there, but I would also love to shoot there on a misty, foggy morning.

 the only brackets i care about | march sanity

It's March Madness, and I'm not a big follower of college basketball, so pretty much the only brackets I care about are the kind used to make pretty pitchas :)

This one's from today's  #SantaCruz2013  photowalk.  We spent the morning walking around Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park in Felton, and ended the day with a sunset shoot at Panther Beach.  In between, we photographed a 100-year old steam engine AND 30+ of us crammed ourselves effortlessly into a Greek restaurant for lunch.  There was laughter, there were tears (from laughter), there were several #TheBonocore  poses and tons of +SmugMug schwag* given away.

c r e p u s c u l a r | lake wanaka, new zealand

There's a cool solitary tree on the shore of Lake Wanaka.  It's not in this shot, so no need to go all squinty trying to find it :)  The tree is what brought us to the lake, but I thought this dawn light reflected in the lake was too awesome to pass up.  I'm typically a sunset shooter, but I'm starting to think I need to shift my schedule from nightowl to earlybird.... 

By the way, if you are in a squinting mood, there are two different sets of rowers (scullers?) on the lake.  Other than the coxswain's megaphone-assisted barking of commands, it was very quiet and serene :)

b e n d e m e e r | queenstown, new zealand

This picturesque spot is in Bendemeer Estates in the Lake Hayes/Arrowtown/Queenstown area of New Zealand.  The scenery here is absolutely breathtaking: rolling golden Tuscan-like hills giving way to tall jagged peaks.  And on this evening the whole scene was topped off by one of the most spectacular sunsets I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing.  Standing there you just get lost in the unending beauty that stretches as far as the eye can see.  I've used a lot of superlatives in my description, but I stil feel that I'm surely  understating what sweet eye candy this place is.  On top of all this, add the company some awesome people (+Michael Tristram, +Elle Bruce, +Darcy Conn & +Scott Kublin) and you have the recipe for a perfect evening of photographic fun.

One of my favorite shots from my recent trip to New Zealand.  This was taken in the late afternoon on the spectacularly scenic Mt Cook Road somewhere north of Glentanner.

A truly spectacular spot that I was lucky enough to visit about 10 days ago with 25 fellow photographers.  It's hard to put into words the mystical look of this place, so I'll just let the photo speak for itself.

the glow show | davenport, ca

Here's another from the #santacruz2012   photowalk organized by +Barry Blanchard, +Karen Hutton +Cameron Siguenza, +Ed Sweeney and +Peter Adams.  This was one of my very last (usable) shots of the day.  And what a day it was: indescribably fun and satisfying and still the single most productive day for me ever in terms of percentage (and also just sheer number) of usable photos.  This is why I'm still uploading photos from it in late Jan :))

I'm heading to New Zealand this coming Sunday for a photo workshop.  It's a dream trip and I've been looking forward to it for months!  I'll be in NZ for 11 days total, 5 of which are for the workshop.  I've left the last part of my trip pretty much unplanned.  Gotta play life by ear every now and then....

Wishing you all a great week.

third rock from the sunset | pomponio state beach

If you're familiar with my photography, what I'm about to tell you will blow your mind.  Ready?  OK, this image is not HDR.  That's right, I bought some GND filters, and -- since I like to accessorize -- a new lens to go with them :)

This is my first image using the new filters.  I got them last Wednesday and wasn't really able to use them until yesterday evening.  The wait was worth it, though.  The conditions were awesome and the sunset was, to quote a friend who was shooting with me, "...the color of rainbow sherbet...."

I like my new filters.  A lot.

The Blue Hour | Kirby Cove

I had such a great time at the #SliceOfTimeSF  photo event this past weekend.  Huge thanks to +Nathan Wirth and +Athena Carey for organizing the event, to +Joe Azure and +Steve-Maxx landeros for hosting the Kirby Cove outing on Sunday morning, and to all the participants who attended and made the event so fun.  The weather outlook for Sunday morning looked really iffy throughout the weekend, but in the end the sky and cloud conditions turned out to be absolutely perfect.  I'm amazed that with 30+ of us gathered on that small beach we all managed to stay out of each other's way.

Photos from the weekend-long event can be found here: http://goo.gl/JW4f8

Again, thanks to everyone who was involved in the event -- I had a great time, was introduced to so many great photographers and photo spots, and learned a ton!_____... more »

Just Say "Yes" to Crack | Davenport, CA

I'm still going through my photos from the #santacruz2012  photowalk on Dec 8 organized by +Barry Blanchard, +Karen Hutton and +Peter Adams, and this is one of my favorites from the batch I'm currently working on. 

This is "The Crack" in Davenport, also unofficially known as "Barry's Crack."  It was my first time at this spot, so I didn't realize -- until +Elizabeth Hahn mentioned it earlier this week -- that sometimes the crack is filled with sand.  Now I know that many of you are probably snickering because your dirty little minds went right to the thought of butt cracks.  Please be mature in your responses to this photo and for Heaven's sake, do not post any kind of inappropriate comments.  Let's be grown-ups, please (and here I'm specifically addressing (read:invitin... more »

Move Me | Davenport, California

I'm slowly getting around to posting shots from the #santacruz2012  photowalk, and I have taken some shots since, so I'm looking at a serious backlog of processing.  Hey, at least they're all imported into LR :)

I hope everyone's having a good week, and when it comes to your behavior at the mall and other shopping venues this holiday season (as well as in life in general), please aim to be on the nice list rather than the naughty.

It Was Late In The Evening | Davenport, California

Got a chance to meet up with tons of great people during this past Saturday's #santacruz2012  photowalk.  Many were people I've met on previous photowalks, but an equal number were folks I had never met before. I got more great photos on Saturday than I have any other single day.

This is one of the last shots I took, and it's one of my favorites from the day.   And what a day it was.  

Sending lots of gratitude toward ringleader +Barry Blanchard, and also to +Cameron Siguenza, +Ed Sweeney, +Karen Hutton, +Peter Adams and +Mike Spinak for scouting out the itinerary and organizing the walk.  
(+Mike Spinak - I'm sorry you weren't able to make the walk itself -- I hope you're feeling better).

Grabbed a few (hundred) shots at Eden Park in Cincinnati a few weeks ago.  It's a really nice spot perched at the top of a big hill with a nice overlook onto the Ohio River and the...I guess you'd call it the north Kentucky shore :)  I have a few pics from the overlook, which I'll eventually post.

I hope your week has been stellar.  It's officially Friday.  Woo-hoo!

♦♦♦♦ WS Photographer Circle 2 ♦♦♦♦

I started in October with the first release from this Photographers circle.
I had so many requests that I got over 500 people in the cirle. The option of two circles came up but I decided to look in the circle and cleaned things up. If the circle grow over 500 members again the circle will be split into 2 circle's next month.

Circle's are there to be shared so help yourself to re-share it and promote yourself and or others .

Who are in this circle
Lots of great photographers who mainly share their own photo's in their stream and you will like them.

Who can join?
Everybody. As long as you have a interest in (nature) photography and MAINLY share your own work in your feed.

This is Union Terminal in Cincinnati, Ohio. I shot here earlier this year, but I got the chance to return to the spot last week, this time equipped with my tripod AND a much wider-angle camera/lens setup.  I'm really happy with the results.

Happy Monday, all...

"Yeah, my name is Melvin.  What of it?"

My most recent two posts have been animal portraits.  That's pretty unusual for me.  I blame it on not having had much time in the past few weeks to process any of the work I've recently shot.  Slowly making my way through it, though.  Stay tuned for the return of HDR landscapes :)

The Golden Donut Round 2

This is my second Circle Share & is an update of my first Circle Share from 2 months ago. (if you were notified, you are in the circle)

This circle was agony to get down to 99 people. I really wish I could have added 50 more, but people are more likely to add a circle if there are 100 or less in the circle.

I took the previous circle & removed people who were no longer active or who were no longer interactive. I filled the empty slots with a focus on my top 99 people G+ said were relevant & those folks who regularly engage with me.

I've delayed sharing a circle like this (again) because I'm afraid of not including someone who should be in the circle. There are a lot of people I love dearly (my wife, for instance!) who are not in the circle because they are not active in G+.

westbound | floriston, california

This wasn't necessarily the hardest spot to get to (actually it was quite easy if you knew where to pull off), but it was a bit hidden from the direction of the adjacent highway you would need to be traveling to get to it. I found quite a few places along this part of Interstate 80 to shoot from, but I usually spotted them from the opposite direction, so lots of doubling back for me on this day.

I hope your week got off on the right track :) and if you're in the U.S., happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

getting lost | glen arbor, michigan

Sometimes I just drive until I get lost, then I get out and start snapping photos of anything interesting I find.  Sure, it's much less risky to do this in this era of GPS navigation, but it's no less rewarding. Try it some time, but don't forget your map or navigation device so you can get home to upload and share the images you've captured.

Happy Saturday to all!
