Sunshine Melody - Paradise Beach, Sydney - The HDR Experience by Philip Johnson

BEST VIEWED LARGER Thanks for dropping in ,the Favouritings,Comments and views are appreciated this location is close to home but it was only today I got to investigate it at sunset. Paradise Beach is one of the many secluded beaches that dot the shores of Pittwater and the entrance of the Hawkesbury River. Around 30 kilometres from Sydney CBD and you can sit down and watch the sunrise and sunset. Be as energetic as you wish or just chill out to a good wine or a cold beer. So when visiting Sydney head North to the wonders of Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Equipment: Nikon D300 , Sigma 10-20mm Handheld Technique: HDR, 5 Bracketted Images, Photomatix 3.3 64 Bit, Capture NX See Also Moments In Time: Shifting Sands> Ripples> Sunset Landing:

Splash of Red by Shane Viper

On a trip to Burnie today TassieAnna and I stopped off at Guide Falls. While she went up close to the fall I held back wanting to get a more overall view. After capturing a few shots of the fall itself I thought I would see if i could get a shot of her. I really liked the splash of red against the flowing water. Taken with a Panasonic FZ-18 For more beautiful images of Tasmania please visit RT Gallery
Lights of Belgrade by Milos Markovic

It is snow time again in Belgrade. With the estimated temperatures reaching – 15 Celsius during the weekend it is still hard to resist the beauty and picturesque mood brought by this pure white snow-veil. / This is a view from the Sava river bank to the St. Michael’s Cathedral (Saborna crkva) and the Patriarchate of the Serbian Orthodox Church. / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-——- / “Lights of Belgrade” is featured in JPG Cast-Offs group (19.12.2009) / “Lights of Belgrade” is featured in Everything Winter group (19.12.2009)

Variable Canvas by SNik

Just arrived from a business trip to Linz, Austria, had a great time in the evening having hot chocolate and some warm rolls in a tiny and cosy downtown cafe. Couldn’t resist capturing the interior, especially to remember the light curves of the chairs (we call them Viennese chairs in Russia) and the bright spot of the mirror to harmonize it all .... We all need a cosy warm place when it’s cool outside. Enjoy! I did.

Strawflower Duet by Donna Adamski

Helichrysum bracteatum, commonly known as the Strawflower or Paper Daisy, is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to Australia. Strawflower is an upright, warm-weather annual or short lived perennial with daisy-like flowerheads in yellow, pink, bronze, cream, purple or white. Strawflower has thin, lance shaped, grayish green leaves up to 5 in (12.7 cm) long, and sandpapery, hollow, branching stems that may reach 3-4 ft (0.9-1.2 m) in height. From late spring until fall, strawflower bears flowerheads about 2 in (5.1 cm) across singly or in few-flowered clusters on the ends of the branches. What look like ray flowers or petals are actually bracts (modified leaves) surrounding the central corolla. The bracts are papery with a straw-like, crackly texture, hence the common name. The corolla is like the disc of more typical daisies, composed of many tiny florets. There are no ray florets at all. The wild form of strawflower has golden-yellow bracts and a yellow or brownish corolla within, but gardeners have developed strains with many other colors. ‘Dargon Hill Monarch’ has golden-yellow flowerheads to 3 in (7.6 cm) across. It and ‘Diamond Head’ are shrubby and perennial in mild winter areas. The Monstrosum Series are annuals with double flowers in red, orange, pink or white. They get about 3 ft (0.9 m) tall. The Bright Bikinis Series of annuals also have 3 in (7.6 cm) double flowers but are dwarf, reaching only about a foot in height. There are many other cultivars in the trade, some of which may prove, upon further study, to be distinct species. Strawflower is the everlasting flower of choice for dried floral arrangements. The papery bracts dry beautifully without losing their color or shape, and they last indefinitely. The pompom-like bracts of the double flowered cultivars are especially desirable in arrangements. To grow for cut or dried flowers, pinch off side shoots to encourage larger (but fewer) blooms. Cut stems just as flowerheads begin to open and hang upside-down in a warm airy place to dry.

The Twins! by barnsis

These cute little goats are twins, it was very noticeable that one had ears that stuck straight up and the other had ears that flopped back. The mother was a flop eared goat. I am sure because of the ears and colors that the big white ram is the father of both.
Reflections of A Great Teacher by Katagram

For about four hours this weekend, Shilohlin and I went to Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes,Colorado for a Winter shoot. Since the week before Thanksgiving, she and I and my husband have been working on getting ready for the two art shows Shiloh and I did. It has been long hard work, and we both needed to do what we love the most, get out and shoot. / She is by far, one of the most accomplished Reflection Photographers I have even known, and she taught me a few things on reflections..I pray I make her proud. / Teachers are so very important in our lives, and I thank Shiloh for teaching me / Shiloh, I promise not to get too good, as you will ALWAYS be the Queen of Reflections !!! / /
