Hi all, Autumn is coming!!
Thought you might like to take a look at this one. I shot this when in Castle Combe. The bridge across the river “By Brook” to the Manor in Castle Combe UK on the edge of the Cotswolds. A magical “Harry Potter” village. This is a beautiful village really a must visit if you are in the cotswolds!

Hi all,
I was in Santa Monica yesterday and caught this giant old Fig Tree. It was at the Fairmont Hotel on Wilshire near to Ocean. I thought for a moment there was a Howler monkey lurking in the branches. Can you see him? Thought you might like to take a look! Check it out on 500px too…

Hi all,
Hope you have a Happy and Safe 4th of July!!!
I just posted this one on 500px and thought you might like to take a look! It is the two towers at Century Park where the Annenberg Space for photography has some great exhibits, currently Country: Portraits of an American Sound. It really is worth a visit and is always free!! Can’t beat that… I took this photo while looking up on a sunny and clear afternoon. Then I used some post black and white filters to give it the dramatic effect.

Taken at Hermosa Beach Pier Ave. June 21st, 2014
Hi all,
I was inspired to put this together from another picture using wet glass. I took five pictures of the sunflowers with different exposures and fused them in an HDR program. Then I used filter software to create the wet glass layer look and blended it together. Let me know if you like it!!

Thanks for checking it out!!

Hi all,
Thought you might like to take a look at this one. I took a shot of an ornamental gift clock / weigh machine in a great curio shop in Lake Arrowhead. Hand held with the Canon EOS-M and a 40mm lens on f/2.8 in low light so I could get a narrow depth of field and natural look. Then I applied some oil paint effects in post to give it the oiled canvas look, adjusting light contrast etc., as I went. Let me know what you think?

Have you been watching Cosmos 2014 with Neil DeGrasse Tyson? This is quite amazing and a real tribute to Carl Sagan who co-wrote and presented the original awesome series!! If you haven’t seen this series you should check it out the production is amazing and the logic flawless. The last enthralling episode will help many of us understand more fully the causes and consequences of global climate change. For some this may be an eye opener and for all it should be a call to action!! You can check it out on-line at COSMOS: A Spacetime Odyssey
“We are alive thanks to our countless ancestors who have survived for over 3 billion years”
“Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every “superstar,” every “supreme leader,” every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. Carl Sagan
Let’s turn Carl Sagan’s vision and Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s tenacity into reality. We can make this into a “Garden of Eden“, we have the power if we have the will!! The strength of humanity is in it’s common bond and that common bond can drive us to great things. As it says on the web photo “We are alive thanks to our countless ancestors who have survived for over 3 billion years” To reflect on this, just for a short time, makes us realise that hardships and sacrifices they all went through to bring us to this point in our long and turbulent history. Let’s not forget our heritage and do what all those millions of voices would be imploring us to do! After all it is their world too…
Thanks for stopping by,
Mike Hope
