South Western Australia / This has got to be my favorite place in the world. There is beautiful crystal clear water, where while surfing you can see the movement of the sand underneath you.

Re-work of a color image from October 2007. Amazing clarity in the water and complete calmness. The air was so pure. Canon EOS 5D / Canon EF 17-40 f/4L USM / Cokin Z-Pro Z121S ND8 grad filter

This picture, taken in Glen Nevis Scotland is a depiction of sudden clarity, when everything around may be chaotic. The way the sun has chosen to light through these trees begs the question “is this on purpose, or just a beautiful accident”. I have recently corrected the contrast of this picture and have to say its much improved. If anyone saved the original I would welcome your comments on this.

Went down to the old Monash Freeway for a few light trails shots at dusk just 2 minutes from my house. I’ve always wanted to get some really cool light trails shots and this I was real happy with :) After looking at a few I wanted to do something a bit different with it. HDR done in Photomatix and went for a Direct Positive look in AdobeLightroom. Exposures were 13 seconds, 3.2 seconds and 30 seconds f 7.1 at ISO 100.

The water was so clear over in The Maldives that you could clearly see from about 15 meters away. I miss it :)

Sometimes / we need to wait to see the light / and it always comes / when we are ready to see… this is inspired by some insights / I’ve found in recent times / that are bringing me more clarity…xx

During the late afternoon hours when the cardinals most love to come to the feeders, I always battle with low light conditions. On this day, however, the last rays of sunlight came in strongly from the west just as this male landed on a platform feeder. He looked in the direction of the sun, and for a fleeting moment his eye was illuminated so beautifully. I was privileged to snap his photo at just that moment. It reminded me of “lightbulb” moments in life when suddenly we become aware of some truth that has eluded us and our minds are suddenly flooded with illumination and understanding. It’s moments like these when we become better people. The Bible says, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is.” As our thinking becomes clearer and truer, our behavior improves. I pray frequently for right thinking and for illumination.

A black and white edit of the CBD from just outside the Melbourne Aquarium, wish it was a bit more still so the reflections came out a bit sharper but oh well! Taken with my old Canon 300D and converted to black and white in Lightroom 2.

Whilst standing up here this evening I had to ask myself.. is this the safe thing to do? But then I thought, if we never took risks then that would be a boring way to live. This one was taken from the same spot as a couple of my other Portsea images but at a different time and day. My original intention was to get a good sunset around the eastern side of the London Bridge but the tide was a lot higher than I expected so I climbed back up to this spot instead and it was definitely worth it :) I had to put the ISO up a fair bit to keep the exposure time down as it was almost dark. Luckily I can get away with it with this camera, the picture would be a lot grainier had I used my 40D. The London Bridge is located on the ocean side of Portsea in the Mornington Peninsula National Park, Victoria, Australia. It’s only a short walk down to this spot from the car park. / Settings Canon 5D, 17-40mm f4 L USM.

Woooot!! Featured in: Extreme Close-ups! / AND Dimensions / AND / A Fascinating Purple / AND / Canon vs Nikon / As Part of My FIRST TRIPLE FEATURE!! Now this water drop has a very strange story behind it…I guess you could say that I really am noticing things that no normal person would notice!! rofl I washed my sink and taps this morning…with a J-Cloth…basically a blue and white fiber cloth that you use a few times and throw away. As I finished rinsing everything down I spotted a tiny water drop suspended from the end of the faucet…dripping off of a few strands of fiber that had caught when I wiped it down…this is the shot that I captured after I made a dash for my camera before that drop dropped:) / Canon 500D Sigma EX DG 70mm Macro and extension tubes..manual focus…natural light from the kitchen window above the sink:)

“Vision matters,” he wrote. / “Vision is everything.” But he wrote the words to a man who couldn’t see. “Listening is everything,” he said. / “Listening matters.” But he said the words to a man who couldn’t hear. “Love is everything,” he sang to me. / “Love matters.” But he sang the words to a heart that couldn’t feel. He had a message but he never delivered it well. / He didn’t think it through. / Clarity was never his strength; his world was fuzzy-love / and baby bunnies and happy singing snowflakes because of it. Does clarity really matter? / Is clarity really everything? Don’t ask him. / He’ll look at you with his many eyes of hope and compassion / And your resolve will melt before you know his answer.

Featured with the group Wild Nature Photography and Writing Nov 2009 (Continued from Crystalline Flow) There’s the story that’s told of an old man who died in an accident along with his dear friend, Old Blue, the hound dog. They were inseparable, and it’s no wonder that as the man approached the pearly gates, Old Blue was right there by his side. A handsome fellow in formal attire welcomed the man, throwing open the gates to a city of diamond towers. The old man strode triumphantly thru the gates walking golden streets, his eyes brightly reflecting his surroundings. All seemed right with his world until he felt awareness stir deep within him and he looked down at his side to see that no one was there. Old Blue wasn’t there. He looked ahead and to either side but it wasn’t until he looked behind to the distant gate that he saw Old Blue waiting there. “Come here, sweet heart,” he urged, patting his thigh. “Come on, now, girl.” But Old Blue wouldn’t come. The man retraced his steps intending to force Old Blue to follow, but as he grasped her by the collar, he heard a voice say, “You can’t bring that dog in here.” The old man just stared up in surprise at the striking gate keeper in all his fine attire. He hesitated some moments before turning away from Old Blue and walking away back down the golden street. But his pace slowed as his feet grew heavy. He looked back at Blue, then again toward the diamond city, and each time he repeated this, the city looked less appealing and Old Blue more inviting. I can’t say how long it took him to make up his mind, but soon enough the man left that place and was back out on the path with Old Blue walking by his side. They came to spot where the road forked right thru a gap in a split rail fence, where a dirt path meandered thru a grove of maples ablaze in the colors of fall. He stepped up to the gap and noticed a man in the distance tending a small garden beyond the maple grove. “What is this place?” the old man shouted, but he had to draw closer to hear the gardener speak. He walked thru the gap and down the path and shouted his question once more. “Why this is heaven,” replied the gardener and he went back to his work. The old man stepped closer so as not to have to shout. “If this is heaven, then what was that place back up the road a piece, what with the streets of gold and diamond skyscrapers and such?” The gardener looked up and smiled, “It’s a place where people choose to go when true love doesn’t particularly interest them.” About that time the old man felt awareness stir deep within him. He turned to look back at the gap in the fence and Old Blue wasn’t there. He felt a familiar muzzle nuzzling in his hand and there she was right by his side. Old blue peered thru the maples into the garden until she had the gardener’s attention. He stood up amongst his plants and brushed off his knees and laughed saying, “Why, sure, Blue. You can bring him in with you.” And so it happened that a man and his dog found their way into heaven. / __ I wakened to true love at the foot of a waterfall. I heard it in the thunder of falling spray. I saw it in the light glistening off the cascades. I felt it as mist on my face and in the breeze exhaled by its flow. A voice deep inside me alerted me to its presence and as I continued to answer the call, the awareness grew within me day by day. There is something here loving me without need or agenda nor any expectation of return. I think I’ll walk with it for a spell and see what it has to show me(continued with Crystalline Flow 3. / ___ / ©Miles A Moody LivingEarth-Hearthealing.com.

Featured in Light in the Darkness Group Oct. 2009 – Thank you! Futured in Photography Fun Group Oct. 2009 – Thank you! / / (Continued from Crystalline Flow 2) Looking Glass Falls is a 50 foot sheer drop located roadside just north of Brevard NC and though you’ll probably never have it to yourself, it’s still a beautiful site to spend some time. Hind sight is twenty-twenty, they say and looking back I get a sense that I came to that place in life where I took pause to ask myself, “Who are my real friends, anyway.” It was a wise man who once suggested that I figure out the five friends most important to me, because together their influence shapes my life into what it is to me. It’s interesting that as I stood in the foreground taking this image of Looking Glass Falls, I was able to ‘see’ my reflection in the water – not a visual refection but more like a gut impression of who it was looking back at me. I have to ask myself, do I hold precious those friends of mine who care enough to tell me the truth when I don’t seem to want to see it for myself? It can be challenging to sit at a waterfall’s feet and really feel what she has to say. It’s like looking into the eyes of a fawn; there’s nothing but love looking back at me, and that can be strangely disconcerting to bear….at least this is what I’ve found. I’ve found that receiving true love is feeling completely loved and this can contradict a lot of misconceptions hiding away beneath my awareness. I have to confess my surprise at realizing that I wasn’t very comfortable initially with feeling nurtured and supported. It wasn’t what I was accustomed to. The first few times I touched into the feeling of being loved in this way, I couldn’t stay there. I severed the connection like someone jerking a hand out of flames, afraid to feel. But I kept going back to the waterfalls letting them love me harder than I could resent myself. I’m grateful now for the guidance I found there in nature that insisted upon reflecting another view of me until I could bear to see it. Now as I take a moment to peer into these waterfall images; I sometimes let my imagination break free of the guiding force of my mind; I relax into the ebb and flow of my breathing as I listen to the water falling. I can almost feel the cool air bathed in cleansing mist as I breathe it in; I sink deeper into my seat and my spirit takes root deep into the heart of the earth as branches of light extend into the heavens; I focus my awareness within the center of my chest and let it fill and expand with light from the waters of my breath. And I’m there again experiencing myself new and renewed at the feet of waterfalls (continued with Crystalline Flow 4). / __ / ©Miles A Moody LivingEarth-Hearthealing.com.
