7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #28 – winner announcement!
@benfenson Australian Monday entry:
This is Kiama lighthouse on the NSW, Southcoast, taken during a violent thunderstorm at the start of this years storm season. My partner and i had originally walked out to the tip of the headland to photograph the storm coming in from the West but the storm was moving so quickly that by the time we had setup, bolts of lightning were exploding all around us prompting us to head for cover. Just before making it back to the car the wind and rain hit luckily my camera gear stayed dry!.... I didn't ;)

@axeman Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:
Sunset Baltic Sea coast, nearby Klaipeda, Lithuania. A big stone as center of a composition and long exposure to freeze the movement of the wave. The most difficult part is actually to stay with dry shoes :) Every time sea just tries to catch me, but have enough experience so far to predict bigger waves. Enjoy it!

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #28 – winner announcement!
@photofreediver African Wednesday entry:
I have no doubt that Sudan is one of the best places in the World for diving. Always warm Red Sea, an abundance of colorful corals and tropical fish make every dive striking and unforgettable. It's a place where every instant of water under water you want to leave in your memory and on the photographers, of course!

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – European Thursday week #28 – winner announcement!
@softa European Thursday entry:
Prague, Charles bridge. Charles bridge is one of the most visited monuments in Prague. One day when I set off to take pictures of the city center I noticed that the waterworks beneath the bridge are in the lower position. So I headed to the bridge where they were to see stones on the waterfront, which is not commonly seen.

The Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles is one of the crown jewels of the city and serves as home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. It was designed by famed architect Frank Gehry and opened in 2003 to wide acclaim. But the building also brought some controversy. Some of the panels of this incredibly reflective building were heating up nearby condominiums and sidewalks to an unbearable degree. They found the offending panels and sanded them down to a matte finish.
What a great capture. Thank you for sharing with everyone!
Sometimes you just have to stop, catch your breath, and mumble wow. Standing on a set of snowshoes in the middle of a very frozen Maligne Lake is one of those moments. Its hard to convey the ruggedness and inhospitably of winter in the Canadian Rockies though a photo. I think this shot is the closest I have come to that.

What a fabulous entry! Thank you so much for your participation. Tomas
Moving the Rock
This was taken at Enchanted Rock near Austin, Texas. He is a large granite upwelling that was underground at one time but due to erosion that took millions of years, it came to the surface. It is a great deal of fun to climb.

Wonders of nature. I would love to see you move that rock though:)
Here is a night time view of Chicago taken from the Hancock Center. You aren't allowed to take a tripod so I took a clamp up and clamped my camera to a rail to get the long exposure. I was kind of nervous to try it but nobody said anything.
Wow, epic photo. What a view... absolutely worth a little nervousness. ;)
Thanks! I almost chickened out. Glad I didn't.
What a view and colors! Thank you for this amazing image!
I always loved the view from up there. If you don't mind me asking, did you use any sort of lens filter on your camera?
I don't actually remember if I used a filter. I may have used my polarizing filter to try to remove some of the glare from the window. I did have the lens pressed right up against the glass and even doing that I still had to remove some reflections in the sky.
Gotcha, makes sense. Thank you
Mirror Reflection
Cathedral Rock looks amazing, especially on a day like this when the quality of light is so perfect. Showing off a fine mirror reflection with a beautiful partly cloudy blue sky to compliment the scene. This is what Sedona Arizona USA visitors, come here to see.

I just love your pics from Arizona, it just reminds me how beautiful it is!
Well Thanks I appreciate that!
Very striking stratigraphy that tells an epic story. That's awesome that you were able to find some water for a reflection picture. It's crazy to think that millions of years ago all of Arizona was underwater! Great job 👌
Yes there is a colorful geological history and some of the red rock dates back to 360 million years. Thanks for the comment.
This was taken after a long day exploring Soda Springs, one of man weird areas of Idaho! Tons of geothermal activity in the area so when we heard about this hot spring pool we had to go. And relaxing it was, we got a bunch of happy toes after a big day of walking :)
Haha, classic and unique photo. Love the mood. ;)
That is a real relaxation!
I wish I could transfer us back whenever we need to. I could need an hour in that hot spring right now.
The University of Chicago... goes my many other names... some know it as "Where fun goes to die", others as "Where Hell freezes over". This picture sums up my experience getting my masters in statistics there. I call it.... "The gates of Hell"
Haha, love the story... I assume the masters was ok, it is normally the first degree that mades you sweat? ;)
yes I made it through alright. Definitely sweat a lot more during my masters though
LOL, great entry... It does look really spooky!
If you have checked any of my recent posts you probably already know that I am off to Vegas next week. I am excited to go there again, so I am sharing my favorite photo from my first Vegas trip! It is night long exposure. I see this photo as stereotypical for American cityscape…
Please click on the image to enlarge
Have fun and do not gamble too much! Take pictures instead:)...
Nice picture Andy, the neon orange and yellow colors really give it that vegas feel. As someone who is still learning long exposure techniques, I was wondering, did you use an ND filter at all when taking this picture?
Sunrise clouds over the Rocky Mountains. Waking up early for sunrise photography was a new experience for me during this trip, but one that left me with no doubt that I would do it all over again. The light is simply magic, turning the landscape into something like out of a fairytale.

What a beautiful shot! Thank you so much for sharing. Tomas
Here is one of the most recognizable cityscapes in the world. Of course it is Manhattan! I took this picture from a famous view point of Empire State Building. It was a cloudy October day and I waited a bit for a sun to lit a part of the center Manhattan. That cloudy sky and uneven lightning added to the perception of depth and space.
What a place, what a city! Thank you for your entry. Tomas
