Something on the topic of slightly surrealist views of bridges:

When your model is 6' 1" your tripod gets quite the workout for headshots.
Central American Security... razor wire is expensive... glass bottles are plentiful.

One final orchid from the NYBG Orchid Show ...
A granite glacial erratic near Loch Dee in the heart of the Galloway Hills.
I planned this trip days in advance due to the sunny intervals forecast, knowing full well that the light would break through the cloud in patches and selectively illuminate the landscape.
I feel this photo sums up the nature of the Galloway Hills nicely due to the ever changing light and weather. This remote, unforgiving wilderness can go from sunshine to dark cloud in minutes. It really has it's own weather system. I pretty much experienced the 4 seasons in the short time I was there.
I've always wanted to visit the valley floor of Loch Dee after seeing it from the tops of the many hills that surround it. A 6 hour visit to this place yesterday only scratched the surface. I'll definitely be back, whether on the valley floor or back up in the hills.

Seem to be behind on photo editing at the moment. Here's one from a few weeks back.

Riding through the last of the light...
After several semi successful attempts at night sky photography on trips out west , I did some research and picked up a Samyang 14/2.8 as suggested by a bunch of apparently reliable sites . So I decided to play around with it yesterday in anticipation of a road trip to Death Valley next week .

Lively one there! Really like the light on the dog's coat - rich looking.
Such a moody shot. It was fun reading the backstory behind that picture -- when I look at a picture, I often times have no idea just how much work into getting the shot just right. Probably the case for most of us.
Also, those Fuji mirorless cameras look so SO MUCH fun. They're so compact! How are you liking yours?
