I set out a tripod in the ice cave I spotted high on the slope above Thompson Lake. Although the interior looked interesting I wanted to include outside view in the image. After metering both outside and inside I realized I'm not going to have detail in both. So I decided on 2 perfect exposure shots , one in, one out, with the same f-stop, varying exposure time only. Later I combined them in PS.
This was shot on Abermawr beach, Pembrokeshire, West Wales, UK, last week. I use two Camera Systems these days. One is based on the Sony ILCE-7R and the other on a Canon EOS 5D Mark I (Yep, I went back to one of my favourite FF cameras). Bought it in immaculate condition for £249.00 (~$374US) with a 6 month Guarantee. To be honest, for posting to the Web, a 12.8 Megapixel FF Sensor is not limiting. The image is all about subject matter, light, technique AND your ability to PP.
These occaisional low down branches attract my attention because of their form and colour at this time of year - some are like curtains while others are spindly bushy things sprouting from a great trunk. <br />

This image was taken from quite a high vantage point in order to look through the veil of leaves and to try to show the flowers into the distance.<br />

Shot inside The Bristolian Buffet Car, STEAM, Museum of the Great Western Railway, Swindon, Wiltshire, England.
Shot at 35mm, f/8, ISO 400 and an Exposure of 1.6 seconds.
The Cottage is ~ 1 mile from the road and there is no electricity, Telephone/Mobile Signal or obviously, Wi-Fi. Total escape courtesy of candle/oil lamp lights.
Sonnet by Alfred Tennyson - <br />
Below the thunders of the upper deep;<br />
Far far beneath in the abysmal sea,<br />
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep<br />
The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee<br />
About his shadowy sides; above him swell<br />
Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;<br />
And far away into the sickly light,<br />
From many a wondrous grot and secret cell<br />
Unnumber'd and enormous polypi<br />
Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.<br />
Fifteen centuries of English history lie behind the massive Cathedral you see today. It stands at the heart of historic Winchester, once the seat of Anglo-Saxon and Norman royal power, on the site of an early Christian church. It’s been a place of worship ever since.<br />
<br />
Winchester was once the capitol and centre of Anglo-Saxon rule long before London. The site of this Cathedral has been a place of worship for over fifteen centuries. The Normans invaded and set about stamping their authority on all things, including the Church.
(It is handheld. I was unable to shot it with 24mm, cause very aggressive street light here, which was engaging my frame every-time I tried to shot it. For better performance at corners I need tripod and ISO100, it is not due to lens resolution, it is due to sensor low dynamic range at ISO800)
The Eurasian pygmy shrew (Sorex minutus), often known simply as the pygmy shrew, is a widespread shrew of northern Eurasia. It is the only shrew native to Ireland.[3]<br />
Active throughout the day and night, the Eurasian pygmy shrew lives in undergrowth and leaf litter and lives off small insects and invertebrates.[4] It has an average weight of 4 grams[3] and has one of the highest metabolic rates of any animal, meaning it must eat at regular intervals — every two hours or so.
