Mirroring the Grandeur by TrevorAnderson
This is another perspective of Rainier that I caught a couple years back. My recent trips have been more hiking oriented than photo oriented, partly due to the hazy skies presented by all of the wildfires; this has provided a good opportunity to go through some older folders. via 500px

Misty Deluge by cwexplorationphotography
++check it out in full screen++ Check me out on Facebook! Check out my new Website! Here's one more image from my trip to Falls Creek Falls, WA this past spring. All of the conditions you see in this one were completely in camera. My previous image was shot on the same day but the light was changing by the minute with passing rain clouds in the area. Max Foster and I got very lucky because by the end of shooting there wasn't a cloud in the sky, which would have made LE exposures pretty difficult since I don't typically use ND filters. The amount of water coming over the falls was pretty intense and I had my camera only about a foot or so from the water while shooting this one so staying dry was no easy feet. Hope you enjoy this one! Falls Creek Falls, WA Prints: cwexplorationphotography@gmail.com via 500px
The Coronation by StefanHefele
"The Coronation" - A new life is born The Coronation of life is when you witness how new life is starting to breath. Especially when it´s your own flesh and blood. Three days ago my little daughter came into this crazy world. To her I want to dedicate this very special photo, which I see myself as one of my most inspiring moments ever. via 500px

Battle Born by RyanBuchanan
+better view on black+ Logan Pass has always been a battleground. Over thousands of years, glaciers have carved out some of the most magnificent mountain peaks in North America. With relentless winters that allow for only a small window for life, survival here is tough. And this year even more so—drought conditions, forest fires, a nearly non-existent water flow, even the flowers were, for the most part, long gone all due to the lack of snowfall this past winter. Even in such harsh conditions, it's amazing how life still perseveres. This evening, on our second trip up to Logan Pass, we were rewarded with interesting cloud cover mixed with a smokey haze from the fires—resulting in some interesting light. I’ve always wanted to capture Clements Mountain with it’s unique, castle-like appearance and this was my chance! My daunting search to find a foreground began… I finally came across this lonely patch of flowers that was somehow still in full bloom. My goal was to create depth in the scene by getting extremely close to the flowers, making them appear as large as possible. I positioned the angle of the camera to where the flowers would lead the eye up through the mid-ground to the mountain. So, with a few passers-by wondering what the hell I was doing with my face and camera buried in this cluster, I took a few series of shots of the foreground at 7 different focal points which I was able to blend in photoshop for sharpness throughout. The light was more intense at this point, allowing me to keep the shutter fast enough to freeze any flower movement. Then I waited a little longer for the right sky light to set in. The clouds made for some great patterns coming out from behind the mountain as the hazy glow intensified. The lens distortion at the top of the frame helped lengthen the mountain and cloud lines. Thanks for looking and I appreciate your comments. Follow me: Website: ExposureScape.com Facebook: http://ift.tt/1aQVWJ2 Twitter: @BuchananPhoto via 500px

Whisperer in Darkness by ArpanDas
Facebook Instagram Google+ Ok can't write the description without giving a huge thanks to my great photographer friend Attilio who took me to this beautiful location and also allowed me to his star tracker. Ok lot of things went into this shot. The sky was taken with a star tracker so that I can get as much detail as possible for the milkyway. I include myself in this picture for two reason. Obviously first one is inspired by one of the shots from my one of the all time favourite photographers Michael Shainblum. Secondly sometime with wide angle lens you cant guess the scale of the image. The blending was really difficult as with startracker the foreground is always blurry. via 500px
Waiting for the Northern Lights by DagurJonsson
Now I am waiting for these lights to arrive, lets see what the next weeks will bring. This shot was taken last December at the seashore next to the island of Grótta in Seltjarnarnes, an icelandic township located within the Reykjavik capital area. It is probably one of the best spot to capture them here in the western part of the capital city, with no light pollution from the streets lights, you can enjoy them in darkness.

Nature's Calling by DanielJGreenwood
Best viewed on black! It has been quite some time since I have set out into the great land of wilderness and nature. Today was one of those days where all thought it was raining buckets I still had that fire burning inside me that was telling me to get out there and explore. I set out to a well known and photographed location out in Whistler just an hour past Vancouver. This location is quite the little trek through trails and down cliffs using ropes. This was the first time I actually got to use my new D810 for more then shooting in my back yard. I cant wait to learn more! Technical stuff.. Just a single exposure from my 14-24...Cropped around 100% ...Wonderpana CPL filter via 500px

Desert Fireworks by MAPhoto
In this shot under a powerful monsoonal storm cell in Arizona the landscape to me seemed it was only an audience there to take in the show. I feel like the variety of cactus add depth to the shot, but it is obviously more about the sky in this one. It was an incredible light show, taken right after the sun had sunk below the horizon and very nearly illuminated the clouds from underneath. To capture something like this I had to accept that I would follow the progress of the storm and take whatever foreground it offered me at the time the light was right, and fortunately I found the clearing you see here. While it may not flow as easily as my previous post, I still like this view for the power of the skies and sunset light. This image comes from multiple exposures all taken without moving the camera within the span of a minute or two. All exposures were at 1 second, ISO 100. Thanks for having a look! via 500px

Why bother by geraldmacfly
Why am I still posting pictures here, I wonder more and more. Since passing the 500 followers mark, it has been nothing but zero exposure and seeing photos hit the 99% mark with huge halos or over saturated areas is sending a signal that maybe I am posting in the wrong place. Despite loving seeing a lot of incredible work that can be found here, for us without a lot of followers this pulse system is too bizarre to say the least. Most of the time it will go to popular in a few minutes then it is like my stuff is gone completely, nothing for the next 23 hours. I want to thank everyone still following me and writing meaningful comments. By that I mean not writing comments all day long to hope that their work will get a nicer pulse, or not following me hoping that I will do the same and once I click the follow button they stop following me... but to really share their feedback with me. Thanks so much to those! via 500px
Curtain of Light by larsvandegoor
Thanks for all your views. I appreciate them very much and if I can brighten your day with my images, that's all I ask for. I have noticed some very poor images with high ranks. It turned out people give faves to a lot of images,.. and man I mean a lot, insane.Their only purpose is to get faves in return. I hope 500px will some day change this in their algorithms. a Curtain of Light over the road between Ruurlo and Kranenburg, the Netherlands Better on Black-------->Press H to dim the lights LARSVANDEGOOR.COM via 500px

FOR JEFF by JustinGrimm
Press "M" for the full size image! This shot was taken in a remote area of the southern US, a place that I was fortunate enough to visit with some great photography friends. While mud tiles are relatively common in the desert, the tiles in this area are made for GIANTS! The tiles pictures here are over a foot wide and have two inch gaps between them, however in other areas they can get well over four feet across, with gaps large enough to step down into. These were truly some of the most interesting natural formations I have seen, and I cannot wait to get back here again! Thanks for looking. If you have the time, head on over to http://www.melanoma.org and donate for a good cause. A friend and talented photographer Jeff Swanson passed last year from the unfortunate disease, and donations could help others in the future. Any little bit counts! via 500px
Requiem by ErinBabnik
Life is too short. Too short to accomplish everything that you could want to do, to go everywhere you could want to go, and to spend enough time with everyone you love. I had the most painful reminder of this truth one afternoon while I was temporarily living in Portland, just over a year ago. As I was preparing dinner, I got a call from the wife of one of my best friends: Jeff Swanson, her husband, my shooting buddy and fellow sailing crew member, had passed away that morning. At the age of 30. Anyone who knew Jeff, even just through photography circles on the internet, genuinely adored him. His inimitable wit, playful charm, and positive attitude made him an internet darling and, to those of us lucky enough to know him “in real life,” a cherished friend. We all knew that he had melanoma and was fighting it valiantly, but somehow I felt that nothing could bring down a guy like Jeff, at least not so soon. It’s really hard to communicate even an inkling of the pain that I still feel today, pain and frustration that this amazing world with all of its wonders and miracles couldn't save this awesome person. Perhaps with more support, the Melanoma Research Foundation will achieve a breakthrough that will make a huge difference, maybe even a cure. Wouldn't that be awesome? If you would like to help, please consider visiting the memorial page set up in Jeff’s honor and generously hosted by SmugMug, with all proceeds from print sales going to fund the MRF. ABOUT THIS PHOTO Of all of the photos that I could dedicate to Jeff right now, this one seems the most appropriate. It is about friendship, about photography, about the trials and wonders of life, and it perfectly encapsulates Jeff’s famous motto of “f/it and be there”. While exploring some of the higher elevations of the Dolomites with my dear friend Ted Gore, we both caught a nasty cold from someone we had been shooting with earlier in the week. That cold took us down hard, and we spent days holed up in a tiny room of a refuge hut just big enough for two bunkbeds, feeling pretty sorry for ourselves as we sneezed, coughed, sniffled, groaned, and slept the hours away. We were completely off the grid, with no data signal or WiFi, and because we were in bunkbeds, we couldn’t even see each other. It’s about as close to solitary confinement as I’ve ever come, but there was great consolation in knowing that I was in fact there with my friend, and we were in it together. Finally, we decided that we would try to “f/it and be there” for a sunset outing. Could we muster the strength to venture out, hike up a peak, and try to be creative? Would it even be worthwhile, given the thick weather that day? Well, it wasn’t easy, but we got ourselves out and up the peak, and I soon found this spot to park my tripod and wait for a clearing. Just as it started to happen, Ted came down from where he had been scouting and asked if I wanted a figure in my shot. Of course I did, but I replied, “No, I think I like you too much for that.” The cliff where he wanted to stand would put him in a death-defying position with a drop of hundreds of feet beneath him, so I wasn’t thrilled about the idea of him standing there. He climbed up anyway and took a few photos of the drama unfolding before us, while I shot a couple of frames and held my breath, hoping that he would be sure-footed as usual. My concern amounted to a complete double standard, since I tend to be pretty foolhardy around cliffs myself, but I had already lost one close friend in the last year, and I couldn’t bear the idea of losing another one. I don’t ever want to lose another friend, especially not Ted. I remember us being all giddy after having seen such a wonderful display of nature, and Ted remarking that, for a while there, he had completely forgotten that we were so sick; I had forgotten too. So we accomplished something, went somewhere awesome, and got in some quality friend time. Thankfully, Jeff’s spirit of optimism came alive in us and made us head out instead of remaining incarcerated in our bunks. Like I said, life is too short. Make the most of it. Get out and do awesome things. Love your friends. Peace. via 500px
