A fantastic calm morning on Bussleton jetty. Love this area there is nothing better than retiring to a warm breakfast nearby after a cold start to the day! Shot taken in February 2008.
-
The day summer arrived and it got stinking hot. This shot was taken at 5am and not a cloud in sight. The days temperature climbed up to 40.2°C in Brisbane. Summer is over is just over a week. This morning was certainly what I would expect in winter, crisp, vibrant and cloudless. Keep it coming…love it

Point Piquet is beautifully situated on Geographe Bay, close to Dunsborough, Western Australia. It is sheltered from the ravages of the Indian Ocean by Cape Naturaliste with the result that it is seldom very rough. I should add that the threatened storm didn’t materialise and within half an hour there wasn’t a cloud to be seen.

This photo was taken during my trip to Luxor (Egypt, Africa) in 2007. When I was on the boat voyage on the Nile. The Nile is a major north-flowing river in Africa, generally regarded as the longest river in the world. / Browse Palinchak Mikhail art by categories Art Nudes · Fractal Art · Egypt · Landscapes · Conceptual / / / /

The mysterious Afghan girl whose direct gaze has intrigued the West for so long is Sharbat Gula. She lives in a remote region of Afghanistan with her husband and three daughters. Sharbat was located nearly two decades after her picture appeared on the cover of National Geographic magazine in 1985. She had no idea her face had become an icon. / Original Oil on Canvas / Oct.22.2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XJ1oDyluEE&eurl=http://artbymitchell.webs.com/apps/videos/videos/view/1107574-national-georgraphic-afghan-girl-oil-painting-sharbat-gula

This is an old jetty that has been restored or renewed fairly recently (since I last came here in March anyway). It’s right next to Australia’s longest jetty in Busselton. I’ve only used a ND8 Grad in this shot.. as I left my ND8 where I was staying.. oops. All comments appreciated - paul / http://www.paulmp.com.au

The gorgeous and infamous Jetty in Busselton which is the longest in the southern hemisphere and its a big sphere…. Because the shallow waters of Geographe Bay restricted ship movement, a long jetty was required so that the cut timber could be transported to the ships. In 1839 Governor Hutt appointed “the place in Geographe Bay opposite the Settlement at The Vasse to be the legal place for the loading and unloading of goods”. The jetty commenced construction in 1853 after persistent pressure by settlers. In 1865 the first section of the jetty became available for ships to moor. In 1875 an additional 131 metres was added to the original structure, as over 10 years of drift sands had made the depth of the water too shallow for mooring. The jetty was continually extended until the 1960s when it reached its current length of 1841 metres.

What a day. Gary Lengyel started early on our trip to Mt Evans, but when we got to Echo lake, the place was packed. We quickly discovered the reason for the crowded parking lots and overflow parking – there was a race up M Evans. Nothing like a few hundred runners on the road to scare the bejeebers out of the wildlife, I always say. The good news: we were able to get a head start on all the runners runners and headed up in a desperate attempt to see critters before they scattered before the onslaught of a massive human wave. The bad news: were were in a cloud above tree line all the time, and were barely able to see anything. I did spot 1 marmot, but he was just a ghost in the fog. The trip was looking like a huge disappointment, with bad weather, little wildlife, and lots and lots of people. We headed down expecting a quick trip home, but pulled over when we saw a couple of bighorns at a distance. The sheep were disappointing, but we did manage to locate this remarkable cooperative marmot, who was happy to model several poses and never seemed to mind our presence. And on a side note to Gary: If someone asks if you’re a photographer for National Geographic, you say “YES!! Marmots are considered to be one of the few altruistic species on this planet – they selflessly keep themselves in danger to warn others of potential danger. Marmots are an at risk species due to climate change. Because summers in the mountains are so brief, they try to eat and gain as much weight as possible for the long winter hibernation.

Since Krys didn’t find any cooperative marmots in northern Italy (which is a beautiful area, by the way), I thought I’d post another marmot image for her. This is a young marmot, I’m guessing he was born last year. He’s on the small side, and has relatively little gray on his muzzle (marmots are a lot like people – the older they get, the more gray hair they have). Most marmots tend to behave in one of two ways when they see a person: 1. They bolt and run, and they do this funny little tail-helicopter thing while running. They also make this hooting noise as they run – at least it sounds like hooting (but honestly, in my head I hear Nya-aaa-aa, wooob-woob-woob-woob). / 2. They stop and check you out. I don’t think they have binocular vision, so they tend to turn from side to side and eye-ball you with each eye. Sometimes they do some cute posing in the process. This little guy did something I was not expecting – he ran towards me. He must have been fed by people previously, and now associates people with food. That’s too bad. Any time wild animals get too comfortable with people, they usually wind up dying because of it.

For some reason I’ve not had good luck tracking down marmots lately. I can usually approach them and have them sit still for at least a couple of shots, but for the last couple of weeks they’ve been skittish and completely uncooperative. I have so many marmot images, I’ve been working to get something a little different. Since wildflowers are in full bloom in the high country, I was hoping to get a marmot in a clump of flowers. This is the closest I got. It looks like he was in the process of expanding his burrow a bit. He’d disappear into a hole for a period of time with dirt flying out wildly behind him, then reemerge to survey his surroundings. He didn’t seem to mind me hanging around as long as I didn’t get too close. Given their shared DNA with groundhogs, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that marmots are excellent diggers, even in cold, rocky alpine soil. And check out those nails that help them move earth. I didn’t use a tripod, and accidentally had the aperture closed down further than I usually like (a bit loopy from too much time at altitude), and didn’t notice than my shutter speed was way down from usual. This seems to have turned out decently anyway. This was right around 12,000ft.

The rain in Denver has been snow in the high country. I’d like to think Fall is on its way, and we had temps in the 60’s last week in Denver, but now with temps still in the 90’s on Denver, Fall seems far away. I was up early trying to get pics of Larry the Pika, but the wind at 14,000ft was brutal. Larry and I both made brief appearances before going our separate ways. Fortunately, winds were much more tame the lower I went, and with the warm early morning sun, the marmots were out, sunbathing on warm rocks. This little guy not only stood his ground (or his sunny rock), but he also stood up for several poses. Their coats look amazing in the right light.

I had no idea that I had this image until I started my RAW workflow. This would explain why the marmot skedaddled away so quickly as I was trying to take his photo. Too bad the DOF is so shallow, but that is the look I was going for (well except for the OOF hawk).

It’s hard to figure these guys out sometimes. Sometimes they hoot and run at the sight of a human, other times they make wonderful little models. And it’s not just that 1 marmot always runs and another always sits and models – I’ve seen several individual marmots behave either way. I’m not sure what the variable here is – but it is fun to observe them and try to figure it all out. Because they’re little Sun worshipers and tend to plop themselves on sun-warmed rocks early in the morning, once you find a cooperative model, you have to make sure you’ve got them at a good angle to prevent lens flare, washed out colors, and other problems associated with shooting into the sun. This little guy was very cooperative, allowing me to shift positions several times to find the best light. I notice that I tend to talk to them as I photograph them – my informal measuring process makes me think that’s not one of the variables I mentioned previously. I get about the same ratio of marmots that run vs. sit still when I’m talking to them or not. “Hey there, little marmot – mind if I take some pictures? It’ll just take a few seconds and I’ll let you get back to what you were doing . . .” Standard Marmot Boilerplate / Most marmots tend to behave in one of two ways when they see a person: 1.
