These Least Sandpipers, the smallest of all sandpipers (14 cms long), are huddled together on the beach during a terrific wind storm on the east coast of Vancouver Island off Canada’s west coast. Image captured on a Nikon D300, Nikon 600 mm lens on a Gitzo 1325 tripod, F6.3. 1/800 sec, ISO 250.
Sometimes my best shots are not the ones I was looking for. Early in the morning, I took my coffee, camera, and longest glass to a favourite bird spotting site of mine near Campbell River, on Vancouver Island, Canada, where I live. I enjoyed the coffee, but found little that would make a worthy photo, until out of the corner of my eye, I saw movement in the wetland. As my vision cleared, there he was, a gorgeous buck, a black-tailed deer, a sub-species of the well known mule deer in North America. At almost the same time as I saw him, he also saw me. We stared at each other long enough for me the capture a few good images, including this one, before he and his lady moved into the bush to escape my intruding eyes. I felt blessed. Captured on my D300, 600 mm lens, 1/320, f11, ISO 400.

Looking out toward Tasmania from Victoria, this work is a typical example of the beauty of the southern Australian coastline. Technical notes: Used Photoshop CS2 – Adjusted the contrast and colour in camera raw. Sharpened slightly.
I seldom see a mature buck, but on this day I was lucky, and I even had my camera and long lens with me. It was a gorgeous early morning with no one else around. I was privileged to witness one of God’s most beautiful creatures. Yet, I could not help think that my camera and lens could have easily been a rifle and scope. So easy to kill such a beautiful creature, for such a trivial and primitive reason. I spent the rest of my day worrying about him, because hunting season nears, and he is a prize. Captured on my D300, 600mm lens, 1/320, f11, ISO 400. Processed in PS Camera RAW for tone and sharpness, sized in PS CS3.
This derelict cottage lies on the Watkin path which takes you to the summit of Mount Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales UK. Hundreds of people pass it by every year on their way to the top. there are several waterfalls that cascade down the mountain after heavy rain, you should be able to see one to the right of the cottage …..... and yes, I have made it to the top …...

BETTER VIEWED LARGER Yes it does get cold out west, this shot was taken when the temperature was zero degrees celcius, and that was without windchill. Here the sunrise catches the landscape with recently snow cover. Morning light hits trees in the National Park that surrounds the Historic Gold Mining Village of Hill End 3 1/2 hours drive from Sydney For those visiting Sydney , free some time to travel west of Sydney, you will experience the wonders of National Parks and World Heritage areas, old gold mining towns, old towns . And vineyards and wonderous scenery that is the true Australian landscape. Hill End NSW / In October 1872 the Star of Hope Gold Mining Co. uncovered what was, at the time, the world’s largest specimen of reef gold. ‘Holtermann’s Nugget’, as it was known, weighed 286 kg and measured 150 cm by 66 cm with an average thickness of 10 cm. That week alone, over 700 kilograms of gold were carted / away from Hill End by the gold escort. In all the amount of gold extracted at Hill End was greater than any goldfield in NSW other than Canbelego / VIEW THE HILL END HDR SERIES / Hill End – HDR Series Series

An evening of boating among the Gulf Islands of British Columbia, Canada, often has the added benefit of quite wonderful skyscapes. Especially in May and June, we get these cloud formations that have a wide variety of shades and colours. At times it looks like a downpour is imminent,but it seldom is at that time of year. This view was taken a few miles off Sidney, a town on the Saanich Peninsula just north of the city of Victoria. The large hump at the right is Salt Spring , the largest of the southern group of islands. BTW, it might appear that this is an HDR image; it isn’t, I prefer not to use it. / Taken June 17, 2009 / Fuji S100FS camera.
A bright morning on the road between Calgary and Canmore,Alberta,Canada. Do these people ever get tired of the view??
