Hello G+

For the first time I was so close to a dragonfly. Unfortunately the head is not focused properly.

A Winter Sunset in Livingston, Montana
#montana  

Yesterday morning was breezy, cloudy, and was supposed to rain but I took a chance and went out to the beach anyway hoping for some nice clouds. Lucked out and got one of those weird mornings where it looks like it'll rain any second but the air was so clear, you could see forever.

Storms Building in the Eastern Sierra
Taken at Mono Lake in April 2009 while scouting conditions for an upcoming workshop.  The main exposure was 1/6 second at f/22, ISO 400, 24mm), but I combined darker and lighter exposures in Photomatix to highlight the texture in the clouds.

The skies are looking great for storm chasing in the Eastern Sierra tonight, so I'm heading out!

And yes, I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me 
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me

The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but love is dead
That is my belief

This colourful one has been sat on my hard drive for two years. I thought it was time it got processed and shared. It has it's flaws, and I really want to make that sea defense look straight but the ruler tool tells me the water is level. Have desaturated a bit as it was a bit too rich even for my taste. It's not often the sky plays ball in such a dramatic way.

I haven't had much time lately for photography unfortunately. I have some pretty major life changes coming up in the next few months and that's taken up all my time. My wife and I have decided to move back home to Malaysia after about 19 years being away! It's been a huge decision to leave the UK but we're extremely excited now about the next chapter of our lives.

Moving countries sure is a stressful undertaking! Just looking at the house that we need to pack up is leaving me feeling pretty daunted. However, all the things we have to do here before we go does not compare to what we have to do when we get to Malaysia. I've not lived in Malaysia now since I left for school in New Zealand back in 1993. Needless to say, it's going to take a little getting used to ;)

One thing I'm really looking forward to is a change in photographic scenery. There's going to be a whole new set of challenges shooting in hot, sticky weather but there's also going to be a whole new set of countries to visit which is an extremely exciting proposition.

So, just to say yes, I'm still alive, here's one from the archives, taken a couple of months back in New York. I was really digging the reflections of Manhattan Bridge in the windows here. Btw, Dumbo has got to be the best name for a place ever!
