Fox is becoming more used to me. I can go in our small South London back yard when he is there now, and he does not immediately escape over the fence. Could have something to do with the way I have been feeding him!

When I woke up this morning and went out my front door I could see – albeit part-obscured by buildings from our 8th floor flat – the cone of Mount Fuji as clear as I have seen it all year. I knew the sunset would be a good one and sure enough it was. This is taken from the 13th floor roof of our block of flats, just before 5pm this evening and looking towards the Tamagawa area of Tokyo. Nikon D300 / Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8 ED
I was back up at the Bunkyou Civic Centre yesterday, this time with one of my students. The sunset was extraordinary. It was impossible to control the lens-flare as I was shooting straight into the sun for this shot. Five-shot bracketed HDR with very little done to the colour. This is pretty much, apart from a bit of a shift in the tonal contrast, what the scene looked like through the lens.

Sandhill cranes prepare to fly to warmer climes. Clouds enshroud the Kenai mountains behind them as they fly over Cook Inlet. I had this printed quite large and feel delighted with the clarity of the cranes! Dedicated to Australia’s Barbara Burkhardt, with whom I had tea and a moment of joy. Wonderful subtle sense of humor (humour).. I feel fortunate to have met this adventuous, talented woman and her handsome husband as they toured Alaska. I assume all Australians are as fun.

One evening few years ago I was walking at the Kings Cross suburb of Sydney. It was already dark, but a high-rise building above me did not have a single light in any of its 350 rooms. It was a somewhat scary to stand by this huge abandoned giant in a centre of the city. The sign on the top read “Millennium Hotel”. My mind started to picture apocalyptic stories about what might have happened to it in few years past the new millennium. I didn’t know that time that it was closed for the complete renovation. And here we go, $98m and few years later building is transformed into modern 37-storey Zenith Apartments tower. What a stunning view over the city it must be from its roof top. P.S. The Coca Cola Billboard is a character itself being the heritage-listed and largest billboard in the Southern Hemisphere. This is a vertical panorama or a vertorama as it is called sometimes. I took 2 sets of 3 AEB shots from a tripod (one centering on the Coke sign and another one for the top of the building). Those were later combined into a single HDR (4129×4720) and then tonemapped.

Did you ever visit a place where you completely forget what year it is now? Once we walked through the front gate of the brewery we thought we stepped into 1850s. I would call it The Time Machine of Goulburn city. You walk in and for $5.20 it takes you 150 years back (tastings included). Built in the middle of 19 century it is one of the oldest surviving breweries in Australia. Beautiful place, with a lot of history in it and it is history that can be seen, touched and photographed. And the best part – it is a working brewery where good old traditional ale is still produced. This was a situation where I wished I had a wider lens than my universal Nikon 18-200mm. The window was very close to a wall and it was hard to fill the frame. I managed to find a little square of space on the stairs leading to the 2nd floor and set up my tripod there. Next steps were easy: 3 RAW merged in HDR, then tonemapped and post-processed. From my photoblog at http://www.bouncedphoton.com This print is available with 0% markup.

It is not an alien invasion, not a frame from a sci-fi movie, but a living and breathing city, almost real and shockingly impressive. When I was standing there on the dark lane I heard the sounds of an invisible heart beating, breathing of an old building, saw the skin pulsing on a worn brick wall. It has really created an impression of an old organism being alive, calmly living there and serving humans for as long as it is required. What would it think about everything around it? Does it get irritated by the unpleasant smell or loud partygoers on Fridays? I Dwell In The City And The City Dwells In Me is a public artwork by Kim Bridgland, Adrian Hill, Aline Joyce and Theresa Schubert. It is a part of a Laneways By George – Hidden Networks project. The exhibition consists of 8 creative works transforming hidden lanes and little streets in the Sydney centre. Installations are on display from 1 October 2009 until the 31 of January 2010. 3 RAW shots on a tripod combined into a HDR, tonemapped and post-processed.

Our part-time gardener, pruning in the rain / Why hike for hours in the rain, searching for rutting bull moose, only to find a bull moose pruning bushes and tree in our ‘burb? Thanks to Peter Davidson for the video on Hoots mon, there’s a moose loose aboot this hoose D200 and Nikkor 18-200mm About size and weight, wikipedia has this to say: / “On average, an adult moose stands 1.8–2.1 m (6–7 ft) high at the shoulder. Males weigh 380–720 kg (850–1580 pounds) and females weigh 270–360 kg (600–800 pounds).[7] The largest of all is the Alaskan subspecies (A. a. gigas), which can stand over 2.1 m (7 ft) at the shoulder, has a span across the antlers of 1.8 m (6 ft) and averages 634.5 kg (1,396 lbs) in males and 478 kg (1,052 lbs) in females.[8] Typically, however, the antlers of a mature specimen are between 1.2 m (3.9 ft) and 1.5 m (4.9 ft).” An early digital Sony camera shot of a bull at our neighbor’s house late one night /
Another day, another tree to prune in the suburbs. A moose’s work is never done. Moose find relative safety in our city from many predators in the wilds. Nikon D200, Nikkor 18-200mm I don’t eat my friends
