Selected: Tide’s up! by PatrickMarsonOng

The feeling of reprocessing an image over and over, and over and over again… and yet still find ways to improve it every time. Lol. Yeah that’s what I felt with this one. I guess it’s my way of knowing if I’m improving or not.
How about you guys, how do gauge yourself?

This image was taken from Motukiekie Beach, the wild western coast of The South Island of New Zealand. You might be more familiar with the three prominent sea stacks here that’s facing West. I tried to check out these one’s facing South. Scary waves coming in on a rising tide! Waders are love. If you like it, feel free to share!

Selected: Surrender At The Footsteps of God by TheNarratographer

I do not believe in God, but it is moments like this when I seriously start to doubt that disbelief.

The night started off at 2am, waking up and getting out of bed not long after I had gotten in. I looked out the window and the sky was coated with low hanging, thick cloud. I got back into bed, I lay there a moment. The weather forecast had been for clear, beautiful skies over Durdle Door – my eyes argued the opposite. Eventually, against my better judgement, I got out of bed and headed for the coast.

Half an hour later I arrived to find my friend Matt already there. Durdle Door is a pain in the arse sometimes, as they lock the gates to the dark park so that you cannot pay for parking and then fine you £90 when you park somewhere close. Still, we knew we would be gone before the place opened up so we left the cars there, put on as many layers as we could and then sauntered down towards Durdle Door.

When shooting the Milky Way (and I am no expert from a photography sense) you need to first let your eyes adapt to the darkness. Once you have been in complete darkness for a around 20 minutes, when you look in the direction of our galactic core, you can slowly start to see the dust and clouds that form the band you see in the image above. As for taking the image, I find that shooting with a large aperture lens, such as an F/1.4 is best and setting your ISO no higher than 3200.

Anyway, it was freezing at Durdle Door this morning, I mean really freezing. Matt and I lasted there until about 5.30am, when we realised it wasn’t going to be the best sunset and we packed up and headed for McDonalds. For once, he even paid!

Selected: AUTUMN BLISS III by davidzd077

“A moral character is attached to autumnal scenes; the leaves falling like our years, the flowers fading like our hours, the clouds fleeting like our illusions, the light diminishing like our intelligence, the sun growing colder like our affections, the rivers becoming frozen like our lives–all bear secret relations to our destinies.”
– François-René de Chateaubriand.

The flower is the poetry of reproduction. It is an example of the eternal seductiveness of life.
