I had a bit of a walkabout in London yesterday and finally managed to take a shot of the Gherkin that was worthy enough to post. I find it such a difficult structure to shoot. The way it's positioned makes it difficult to isolate. I was trying not to shoot it in the symmetrical straight up manner as well but it's tough finding a fresh viewpoint on it, I guess because of the way it's shaped. Hopefully I've managed to give a unique spin to it.

This is the 3rd or 4th time now that I've headed to London to shoot this and it's the only time the weather has played nice and I've come away with a decent image. It can be so frustrating when you put in so much time and come away with nothing and yet, so satisfying when things come together just right. The ups and downs of photography - check out Andy Brown's entertaining post on this very topic.

Here's to a good week ahead.

Last week's trip to Hidden Peaks was somewhat disappointing. There was no reward for lugging 45 pounds of gear and food in the back country (though the view was still awesome at 7000 ft). No sunset nor sunrise photography. No astrophotography. The ideas I had just had to wait another week.

This weekend, I drove to Oregon with my cousins and siblings. Car camping this time. Trillium Lake was our first option, but all of the spots including 18 first-come-first-serve spots were taken. A quick call to the ranger station and we found us a spot at Clear Lake. The view wasn't as spectacular as the view from Trillium Lake. Still, we had plenty of fun, good food, and plenty of photo op.

The photo above was taken during our second night. Thanks to my cousin and his girlfriend; they were patient enough to stay still for 30 seconds with bugs swarming their faces.

Malta is so hot.

I don't think I've ever been in such stifling heat before! Walking around anytime between 10am and 4pm was out of the question unfortunately due to the heat so I wasn't able to scope out the place as much as I'd like.

It's a rather surreal place. A tiny island smack in the middle of the Mediterranean. Most people there spoke Italian and Malti but there are still signs of British rule everywhere: people drive on the left side of the road, there are places called Clapham Junction and Victoria and even the beer is sold in pints.

I saw only wisps of clouds in the 5 days we were there. The rest of the time, the sky was completely clear and sunny. It's a very dry, very rocky island - brilliant for long exposures! The coast is peppered with these ladders that help you into the water off the rocks, which is great since they make such intriguing subjects.

I'm a little gutted I didn't manage to shoot as much as I'd like but I'm glad to be back. Hope you've all had a great weekend.

This uber-cool view is commonly seen and an obvious choice for this location. A little too wide for my wide angle lens; an extra mm or two would have been nice as 12mm wasn't enough.

I had a bit of a trade-off to make here. I would have liked to show the violent nature of the falls themselves with all of that water churning over the brink, but at the same time, get the swirlie pool of water below. In the end I went for the swirlie pool using a 64x (6-stop) ND filter.

So its a classic view taken a million billion times before. But can you blame anyone for wanting a photo here, its a truly mindblowing location.

I had just finished doing the Kepler and Milford tracks back to back when I got here. Totally knackered I spent one night here and probably spent most of the time here trying to take photos. Not ideal having to get up at 6.30am when you just want a day in bed.

To add some interest and something a wee bit different I got some amazing guy to stand around for 30s for this shot.

Its quite heavily processed, maybe overdone I haven't decided yet.

While I'm probably more of a 'people' photographer than anything else, I do have a fondness for architectural shots as well. :-)

This is the magnificent spiral staircase at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh, of which I've posted a number of other photographs, which you can see here:

Usher Hall Spiral Staircase

I took this after the end of Madeleine Peyroux's concert last night. In most shots I've taken of this, the 'eye' at the top is blindingly white (because it's daylight outside), but the light is more balanced when it is dark outside.

Having said that, most of my shots of this staircase have tended to be a labour of love, involving multiple processing of the same RAW file, as well as numerous adjustment layers, combined with layer masking...and this one is no exception.

However, it a magnificent piece of architecture and well worth the undignified position I found myself in while I was taking this shot. Hey, you have to suffer for your art, even if it's only some mild ridicule from passers-by. :-)

We were fortunate enough to have an epic sunrise on our four-day photographic expedition to Death Valley. A huge thanks goes to Jim for providing me with necessary information on locating some salt patterns. The main visitor's area in the Badwater basin sometimes floods in the winter months and dissolves all of the patterns. They are only starting to regenerate, a process which will take many months. Typically the best time of year to see these formations is in the autumn.

A 3-stop Singh-Ray hard GND was used for this one. Even with 3 stops, I almost blew out the red channel in the sky. My new Singh-Ray filters performed admirably on this trip and I have now retired my entire collection of Cokin filters.

In case you are wondering how these form, I found this article offering some wisdom on the subject: findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1134/is_7_110/ai_78334669/
