A spectacular storm front approaches as I take my afternoon walk through the desert. Central Australia, 2005. [Creative Effects: Brightness adjustment and Omni Spotlight effects with Photoshop]
passage by Nicole Ryan I saw you run past the end of my bed / pretending to be a dark shadow / last night / yes i saw you / between the heavy lids / of my eyes / you fly / in and out / through time and space / and i know that you know / that i know / what it takes you come around here / with trails of the past / the electric light / buzzing around you / making you / enveloping you enlightening me you’re the shape that you always were / only prettier / and you set me alive / reminding me that you’re beside me / still you don’t surprise me / i’ve been waiting for you / and wondering / what took you so long. © ryan

This is a bottle brush bloom blowing in the wind. Capture in Naples, Florida. / canon 5D mark ll / ISO 100 / f3.5 1/40 / canon 100 mm macro /
Taken in Victoria on one balmy summers evening. This is uncropped, as it appeared when developed. Part luck, part application of knowledge. / Lightning can be difficult to capture, although I apply a couple of simple rules. / Unless the storm is coming straight at you, I tend to concentrate on the start and end of the storm area. I use a wide angle lense, a tripod, and set my camera film speed to ISO 100. I use a cable release, and for night time, which is the only time I take lightning shots, I set the aperture on f9 and the shutter to bulb, with an exposure of 3 to 4 minutes. The time can depend on storm intensity (amount of light created). Others may have different rules, but this generally does work for me, and with the digital age, you do have the ability to check, unlike film, where you had to wait to see if it was a worth while evening.
This was taken during the day with just natural light and loved the way the seed were glowing like they were lit from within.

Awoke this morning to distant flashes… Had just enough time to throw on some clothes, and grab the camera. Didnt have time to drive anywhere though.

Daisies in blue, quite the electric color! / Edited, Orton effect added and merged in Photoshop, Redfield plugin, Fractalius for effect. /
Shot wit Canon Eos 400D / A conversion from colour to b&w.
This was about the last shot before I hauled a$$ for shelter… 2 minutes later it rained and hailed for about 15 minutes.
I combined several fractals to create an image that crackles with energy. Is it the creation of the universe? The process of creative inspiration? A cosmic apocalypse? You decide. Available in Black only.

The Grey Crowned Crane (Balearica regulorum) is a bird in the crane family Gruidae. It occurs in dry savannah in Africa south of the Sahara, although it nests in somewhat wetter habitats. / There are two subspecies. The East African B. r. gibbericeps (Crested Crane) occurs from eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo through Uganda, of which it is the national bird, and Kenya to eastern South Africa. It has a larger area of bare red facial skin above the white patch than the smaller Balearica regulorum regulorum (South African Crowned Crane) which breeds from Angola south to South Africa. / This species and the closely related Black Crowned Crane are the only cranes that can roost in trees, because of a long hind toe that can grasp branches. This habit, amongst other things, is a reason why the relatively small Balearica cranes are believed to closely resemble the ancestral members of the Gruidae. The Grey Crowned Crane has a breeding display involving dancing, bowing, and jumping. It has a booming call which involves inflation of the red gular sac. It also makes a honking sound quite different from the trumpeting of other crane species. / The nest is a platform of grass and other plants in tall wetland vegetation. The Grey Crowned Crane lays a clutch of 2-5 eggs. Incubation is performed by both sexes and lasts 28-31 days. Chicks fledge at 56-100 days. / The Grey Crowned Crane is about 1 m (3.3 ft) tall and weighs 3.5 kg (7.7 lbs). Its body plumage is mainly grey. The wings are also predominantly white, but contain feathers with a range of colours. The head has a crown of stiff golden feathers. The sides of the face are white, and there is a bright red inflatable throat pouch. The bill is relatively short and grey, and the legs are black. The sexes are similar, although males tend to be slightly larger. Young birds are greyer than adults, with a feathered buff face. Like all cranes, it feeds on insects, reptiles and small mammals. Although the Grey Crowned Crane remains common over much of its range, it faces threats to its habitat due to drainage, overgrazing, and pesticide pollution. / The Grey Crowned Crane is considered of Least Consern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species The Grey Crowned Crane eats grass seeds and insects, along with other invertebrates. / The Grey Crowned Crane is the national bird of Uganda and features in the country’s flag and coat of arms. / Source: Wikipedia Picture taken in Avifauna, Alphen a/d Rijn, The Netherlands Canon 40D / Canon Zoom lens EF 100-400mm 1: 4.5-5.6 L IS / Exposure time 1/500s / Aperture value f/5.6 / ISO 400 / Focal lenght 300mm
