Featured in National Parks of the World – Dec 2008. Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Northern Territory, Australia. Captured today… I jumped in my trusty old Toyota Landcruiser (Barry) and headed bush to chase this spectacular storm front. It was such an exhilarating adventure! We have now enjoyed several weeks of ongoing storm activity here in the desert. Today’s wild and rainy storms began at around eight this morning. Throughout the day, storm front after storm front has rolled over the desert, bringing with them heavy rain and exhilarating electrical activity. We have endured hail today, strong winds and even a lightning strike which sparked a small blaze in the National Park. And all of these incredible storm sessions were punctuated by bright sunshine and warm temperatures. Wow, I am thoroughly exhausted from following the weather today. I think I have storm-photographing-fatigue. / (A new member of the Elite Storm Chaser Squadron…) Uluru, Central Australia. Monday 24th November 2008.

This pic is as it was when I captured it. 2 Nights ago we had a small ice storm, it left about 2 centimeters of ice on every roof, electric lines and every trees in the locality, I have my share of trees surrounding the house, lilac,pines, maples, cedars and bushes of all kind. Yesterday night was a full moon, the sky was clear of all clouds and the moonlight was very bright with no fog, here are some photos of a series I took around the house, some in total blackness with no street lights to disturb the beautiful bluish rays and hues of the moon and some have a little spark coming from the orange tinted lamp post we have as street lights in front of my house. / This is much better viewed larger, you’ll see… / Hope you enjoy the pics and thank you for viewing! 1-WOOOOOOW!

Had quite the fun with this series. / Shot along the seawall on the north side stanley park in Vancouver BC. / tools: dark clothes, dark area, loooong shutter, sparklers!
Fluffy slippers, gingham apron (specially sewn for this shoot) and hair rollers are bound to get strange looks from on-lookers… At least the guys in the laundromat may be convinced to do their laundry more often! Set in Melbourne. This image is also showcased in the 2009 calendar (click image to view the calendar) /
This was taken in Cades Cove on Sparks Lane, located in the Great Smoky Mountains. / shot this using ISO of 400, EV of +0.01 in SS mode (forgot SS) :)
More water drops on a peacock feather… 4th in a series. Enjoy!

mama bear was crossing road, two bicyclers had passed earlier, so i thought a pretty cool shot of her crossing w/ them in background
So after my grisly death last week, Mrs. Flibble had a go at sticking back my shredded body with some domestic strength wood glue. Apparently it took her quite a while, and she tells me she only had a few bits left over. I think she did a pretty good job, although I’ve yet to try out all bodily functions. Anyway. After a quick jump-start I was left with the arduous task of recharging my brain back up to 30 percent. Any more than that and things can go horribly wrong. You wouldn’t like to see me when I’m 31 percent, let alone 32. Splendid. A couple of points of note: This photo was excruciatingly painful to make. I really did clamp that clip to my ear and it has a mighty strong spring. Lit with two flashes: main was from above camera left through an umbrella and second was from bottom right reflected off something spangly for a bit of fill.

WIth so much going on around us we forget how small our world really is.
Well we have heard of rainbows, and moonbows, but how about a fogbow? / I was hiking along my favorite road in Cades Cove, Sparks Lane, one foggy morning. I had been following a buck and his doe. Dont know what inspired me to turn around, but when I did I saw this. Was a great Christmas treat for me. / First time ever I have seen a fogbow. Grabbed a few shots of it before it faded quickly as the sun was rising. / This shot is now published on the Atmospheric Optic Website, just go here if you’re interested in buying this artwork, please go to the wildlife-appeal Shot this in SS mode / SS at 1/250 (was shooting wildlife, couldnt risk a lower SS) :) / Focal length at 17mm / F-stop at F-16 / ISO at 400 / Exposure compensation at +0.07

It was -20F, and I had to lie in the snow, waiting for that instant. It lasted … a few seconds … and then … it was over. After all that suffering, I was suddenly stricken by the realization that carrying the now-frozen lamp back into the warm house would put at terrible risk of breaking …. my departed mother’s hundred-year-old lamp! Oh, sure! A rational person would have just PhotoShopped something. But NO! I wanted my vision to be authentic …. yet …. eventually conceded to add the foreground grass. I was not about to go back out and try it again. / (Maybe come summer. ;p) / Graveyard Jewel / Canon 350D EOS / Canon 18/55mm JASC Paintshop Pro x7 and PhotoImpact x3
I had a vision again.
My nephew, enthralled with his sparkler! received ‘Best in Show’ award among all adult photo entries (all categories) in the Elizabethtown Fair, 2008 sought out (here on redbubble!) to be on the cover of a fireworks magazine in February of 2009
What with the price of gas going up every other second I can no longer afford to fill a bath with hot water.
Decided to revisit my Ghost Train… just added a little reflection…that’s all
Sparks of hot molten steel are ejected as Weston-super-Mare’s blacksmith Nathan Bennett re-forms a freshly heated strip of iron. Nathan was happy for me to stand at a safe distance while I worked hard to click in synchrony with his hammer strikes. In the film era this would have been a much more expensive exercise, for sure! I’ve had lots of great feedback from this photo (in other places as well as on RedBubble) and I was pleased to give Nathan a RedBubble-laminated print as a thank-you gift. / . / / .
BETTER VIEWED LARGER I decided to try to capture lightning over Sydney Harbour after numerous shots managed to get this one, im glad i wasnt climbing the bridge at the time. / Equipment:Nikon D300
ALL profit will go to the flipzfoundation which will officially be launched on Dec 6th to support rural women with Cancer & the ultimate goal of the foundation is to support all adults who live in rural areas with Cancer & or Mental Illness with the basic necesseities such as, hooking up with local registered volunteers, recieving vouchers of all kinds especially food & cooked meals or someone to teach husbands to cook! Link people up with all available services financial advisors physio’s Garden services, Dieticians etc all in one basket delivered to their door by volunteer or nurse. These baskets would take so much pressure off families who’s lives are about to be turned upside down & inside out. l believe country towns can take care of themselves for the most part they just need to be linked up properly & respected in limitations or capabilities to give & the government need to come to the party & support those who want to support each other. / This Calander will go up for Auction at my Art Show on Dec 6th & l promise to let you know how well it goes. Over the past 3 weeks l am proud to say no one has knocked this Bold lady back & l have raised in way of raffles donations sponsorship & the Sales of my work almost $12,000 & l couldn’t do it without the beautiful warm & caring hearts just like those who have donated their masterpieces to this Calander. l just WISH l could hug everyone of you who have helped me along the way XXXXXXXXXXXOOOOOOOOOOOO / Oh l almost forgot l even had MP Mr Ben Hardmen visit me last week & he listened to everything l had to say & will approach the Minister for Grants to see how the Government can help the flipzfoundation ! Wish me luck :-) l’d like to thank the following talented souls that helped to create this wonderful calander / Feb Blamo / March Bill Gamblin / April Dave Moilanen / May Clarkey / June MtnMan / July George Lenz / August Jaybe / September Julie Marks / October Sandy Sparks (please read her story) / November Muscular Teeth / December Sweetscent62 / XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX / Please put this on your favourites as its so hard to promote calanders l wish groups accepted them perhaps one day they will in the mean time l truly am greatful for any support you can give XXXXXXXX
