This photo was taken from Wild Horse Mountain facing towards Mt Beerwah, one of the Glasshouse Mountains. Beerwah, according to local Aboriginal legend, is the pregnant mother of this family of mountains. If you look at the left-hand side of the mountain you should be able to see the shape of a reclining pregnant woman.
I took this photo of a storm hitting the Glasshouse Mountains just after sunset from the top of Wild Horse Mountain. Unfortunately the mountains don’t look too sharp due to the blurring effect of the heavy rain. I had a lot of trouble holding the tripod down the wind was so fierce let alone keeping rain drops off the lens.

A winter panorama shot of the valley Valldal on the west coast of Norway, taken during the christmas holiday. Stitched together of 15 pictures. Post-processing: / Stitched some pictures together, obviously. Fixed the contrast with curves, added a lighter curve only on the lower part as the valley was pretty dark, and the mountain tops really light. Added two black and white layers set to hard light (140%), mainly on the sky and the mountain tops.
a nice soft winters’ afternoon across the passage…......

Scanning old negatives from my archive, I have found a photograph of Cinque Torri (Five Towers) and Tofanas taken very late in the afternoon. I liked the combination of dark clouds and remaining summer haze that made the background looking very flat like in a painting. Just before clouds covered the sun completely, last rays fell on the Cinque Torri, a group of rocks very popular by climbers. To complete the feeling I had about the picture, I’ve applied ‘colored pencils’ filter in post-processing of this photograph. Dolomiti, Italy. August 2001. Canon EOS 500N, Sigma 28-135. Post-processing: retouch, sharpening, colored pencils, color enhancement, blend modes. Detail of the image showing the ‘color pencils’ effect:

Heaven’s rays pierce a summer storm that is hammering the distant Jemez mountains of New Mexico. The photo is black and white and has a horizontal orientation. This photo was taken from a hilltop along New Mexico State Road 503, near Santa Cruz Lake, just south of Chimayo.
This was taken during a bit of a break in the snowing yesterday, 25 January, in the High Sierra. Buddy and Dennis had a nice walk through the meadow and forest when Den snapped this shot. / Very nice to look at, but oh so cold. Ed

cycling season is over for me, so there’s more time to head up into the mountains and enjoy the Austrian landscape… so I went for a hike yesterday in the area around Kühtai (Tirol’s highest village at 2.020m) and headed up towards Gaiskogel (2.820m). / it’s not really a hard climb, the first 500m up are fairly easy as the lead along a skiing-slope. only the last part is getting a bit more strenuous, as one has to climb up a steep boulder field. this brings you to the so called Gaiskogelscharte (2.658m) and from there it’s a short way to the Gaiskogel itself. anyway, this pano was taken pretty much halfway between Gaiskogelscharte and Gaiskogel at approx. 2.720m. straight ahead you can see the Rotkogel and the Räuhengrat and looking to the left one can see the Kraspesferner (small glacier) with the Rotgrubenspitze (3.042m). as I was carrying quite some equipment and it was already getting late, I decided to turn around at this point and not continue to the top (appr. another 25min), but instead take a small detour to a reservoir and take some photos there as well….

this is a four-shot panorama of the Finstertal reservoir up in Kuehtai, Tirol, Austria. during spring and summer the reservoir fills up with water (max. of approx. 60mio cubic meter) and during the winter months it’s drained once again and used for generating electricity. the northern end of the reservoir is held up by a 149m high stone-wall, a pretty impressive view from down in the valley. the mountains you can see on this pano are (left to right): / Schöllekogel (2.902m), Kraspesspitze (2.954m), Schartenkogel (2.855m) and Finstertaler Scharte (2.777m), Sulzkogel (3.016m) and the Zwölferkogel (2.988m). location: 47°11.930N; 11°01.595E / Canon EOS 40D / Sigma 10-20 EX DC HSM / Hoya ND8 HMC / Manfrotto 724B digi -2,0,+2 f/11
The Glasshouse Mountains, about 70 kilometres north of Brisbane in Queensland. Volcanic plugs dot the landscape, the cores of extinct volcanoes that formed 27 million to 26 million years ago. The outer pyroclastic exteriors long worn away. Captain James Cook on his voyage in 1770 gave them this name, because it reminded him of huge glass furnaces (glasshouses) back in his native Yorkshire, UK. You can just see the Bruce Hwy in the bottom left of the shot. Huge Pine plantations cover most of the bottom of shot, and stormy skies the top. Taken 5pm, 29th November 2009. Glasshouse Mountains, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. Canon 5D Mk II, 2 x Stitched 35mm shots, displaying about 150 degrees view. Actual print size about 3 metres long. Best viewed Large!
Besides eagles, black cockatoos would have to be my favorite birds, they are so majestic. I’m instantly alert when i hear their call. These 2 were in a large flock of about 20, landing in the trees around where I was photographing the Glasshouse Mountains. Stirred up by the storms passing through, they were more chirpy than usual.
