Waterfall in the peak district, in black and white
This is that famous Japanese icon, the great gateway, or “torii”, to the Itsukushima shrine on the island of Miyajima, just off the coast from Hiroshima.
A little snow drift, where the wind has whistled through the gate, this is on the Strines in Derbyshire, it was really windy this day and so cold.
I took this shot from the Windsor turf farms today while following a storm which hit about 5 minutes later.. It is an HDR shot and I think HDR was the right choice as it shows details in both the sky and landscape.. / I have always wanted to try and get a storm shot while down at the turf farms because the scene just looks so typically australian to me.. / I decided to include the gate to break up the scene a bit and add something more to view than just turf and the sky.. / Anyway as usual all comments and/or thoughts are welcome.. / Thanks for having a look!

Here is the image following ‘Red Ribbon’. My little girl worked out how to open the heavy back gate and thought she could escape into the big park at the back of our new house. I decided to add this image to satisfy the curiosity of everyone who wanted to know what she saw through the hole in the gate!
Golden Gate Bridge acrylic on canvas by American Impressionist painter RD Riccoboni ™. Brilliant orange and bright blues in the sky and water compliment each other in this exciting painting of the famous bridge in The San Francisco Bay.

The primary colors in my palette are derived from the colors in the original rainbow flag which represent sexuality, healing, sun, nature, art, harmony and spirit. As a painter I am a visual storyteller. A message comes with the art – perhaps it is playful, calming, erotic, disturbing, political, or even sacred. I like to flirt with the issues and experiences we face in everyday life, the things we do and the places we go that define our lives. Whether positive, humorous, or thought provoking, my work portrays events people relate to while creating a sense of place for the viewer. RD Riccoboni ™is an innovative American-born painter (California, 1960), influenced by his early years living in the suburbs of New York City. A self-taught artist, he credits encouragement by family and teachers for his drive and inspiration. RD Riccoboni ™ paintings on canvas and paper depict his travels and local interest. Subjects include California landscape, cityscape, portraiture, street-scenes, public events, and everyday happenings and friends. His palette is derived from the bold colors of the original rainbow flag. Colors that represent, sexuality, healing, sunshine, nature, art, harmony, and spirit. / RD Riccoboni ™ is internationally recognized work represents community, a sense of place in a positive and life affirming manner.

Well, I’m back from the farm….almost froze it was so bloody cold (OK, not as cold as in some parts of the world, Simon, but I was bloody cold!! lol) Of course the first image I post has to be IR, so here it is. Filter almost froze to the lens, but I had to get this in infrared. Camera: Canon EOS 450D / Filter: R72 / ISO 400 / f/4.5 / Focal Length: 18mm / Exposure: 25sec / Tripod and frozen fingers and toes. And no, it wasn’t snowing, the grass was green, it just goes white with the ir filter.
An infrared capture taken with a HOYA R72 filter. Topaz Adjust was used to give a slight HDR effect on the grass and fence.

‘Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of heaven.’ / John Lubbock Sunset over the Rockies on the evening we returned from our trip to Texas…..January 6, 2009…..the first sight of the mountains filled my heart with joy and a feeling of coming home….and this amazing and dramatic sunset was the icing on the cake!
Olympus SP560UZ compact / f/5 / 1/640 sec / ISO-50 / 12mm A wonderful gate captured on a first visit to the lovely Chatelherault Country Park in Hamilton, in central Scotland. I’ve just tweaked the grey gate a little to add a little more light and definition, using PS Elements 6 and the handy tool of a Scott Kelby book recommended by the fantasic photographer Chris Clark Thanks Chris I really appreciate your kindness! For me its a one off and a bit different to the usual..so any feedback is especially welcome / cheers / ding / ;))

My Mom and I just went for a Sunday afternoon drive, and actually got the car stuck in the snow off the road, while waiting for the tow truck I took some shots as the sun was setting. I love this State!

This is Hubbards Hills in Louth, Lincolnshire showing all the colours of autumn. / Hubbard’s Hills is a glacial overspill channel formed as the last ice ended about 40,000 years ago. A marginal lake of meltwater trapped between glacial ice sheet and the Lincolnshire Wolds spilled over a chalk ridge and gouged a steep sided valley with a flat bottom. The river Lud, far too small to create such a valley, now flows through it. Please visit me at my website / / PaulThompsonPhotography Canon 5D Mk2 / F16 / ISO 100
