Kings & Queens

[Verse 1]

*Drumknott

I don't need much with you, my love

'Cause the champagne drains and the airplane fame turns into rust

I don't need much with you, my love

Cause the Hollywood Hills won't ever make me feel as good as us

You got me singin'

 

[Chrous]

We don't need no bankroll to make us feel alive

We don't need no Benzo, to feel like we can ride

Richer than Solomon with you by my side

We'll be kings and queens in our own mind

We don't need no jet plane to feel like we can fly

We don't need no gold chain just to watch it shine

24 karat lives, we don't got the time

We'll be kings and queens in our own mind

 

[Verse 2]

I got everything I'll ever need

You can cash every check try to buy a respect that's incomplete

I got everything I'll ever need

Don't gotta make it to the top yeah to know what I got

With you and me

You got me singin'

Four of eight Catbirds are still hanging out in the yard. I imagine they will depart soon. Most of the other migratory visitors that make my yard their winter home; have already departed.

 

I have to say they seem very comfortable here, they don't pay much attention to me or my camera anymore. I could probably fill up my entire front page of images with catbirds posing.

 

Peak migration is April 27 - May 2. I am hoping to see a few rare visitors this weekend. Have a wonderful day and happy snapping.

Waterscape 6 of 100 for 2025.

 

Recovering from a couple of days of Australia Day celebrations here and waiting for the weather to cool down a bit so I can head out for some bush walks and beaches. Temps coming off high 30's tomorrow to mid 20's on Wed, with some cloud about, woohoo, that's the day! Now the fun part planning where :))

 

Fun fact: The Match.com founder lost his girlfriend to a man she met on Match.com Probably good advertising I guess!

 

Fun fact No.2: I had to get my cards to check this one. There are four kings in every deck of cards. And while they all look similar, the King of Hearts is the only royal fellow who doesn’t have a mustache. (Are you looking through a deck of cards now ? ;)

 

Thank you all for the kind likes and comments—they’re always deeply appreciated!

An attempt at HDR panorama, tested it on the beautiful city of Bologna.

 

Here is my workflow for those interested :

- Bracketed images at +- 2 1/3

- Imported all images into Hugin as one panorama

- Exported 3 panoramas, one per exposure (Hugin allows that easily)

- Merged the 3 panoramas into HDR Efex Pro 2.

 

I hope you have a wonderful day and week-end, my friends

For Sliders Sunday, I kept it simple by only adding a texture in Topaz Studio 2. I hope you enjoy! HSS!

"Have a Great Day"

The second picture from location Nr.2 I tried to make it as sharp as possible to make a lots of details visible.

One of the requests I get from time to time is to make a triptych of house numbers I have found on my many urban walks. They are usually a combo of numbers to celebrate a special date like a wedding. Initially, I thought it would be easy to make a portfolio of numbers because I only needed to go up to 31. The triptych for today would read 26 3 22. However, once I began paying attention to house numbers, I realized there were very few house/building numbers under 100! Charlottetown, PEI still has several homes in their downtown core with the low house numbers and their numbers often have that Maritime charisma. Then there is the old city of Quebec that has several house numbers with 1/2. I posted this one for the theme “Numbers” to make you Smile on Saturday!

“You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn."

Taken with new camera Nikon Z 6_2

I actually forgot amount it till I got up and it was there right in front of my window it doesn't look that pink but that's what the camera saw and myself you can see the cloud at top and bottom of moon.

Loving this camera couple of things need to read about thou. 😊

P1010609.2 [From the archives 2009]

Erechtheum, ionic temple of Athena, built during 421–405 BC on the Acropolis at Athens, famous largely for its complexity and for the exquisite perfection of its details. The temple’s Ionic capitals are the most beautiful that Greece produced, and its distinctive porch, supported by caryatid figures, is unequaled in classical architecture.

 

This week's Big Excitement for me ! My first excursion with my newly delivered camera took me to our nearest field and it was being harvested. A combine harvester - Oh JOY ! You can see the dust it's kicking up over there on the right near the trees. The driver saw me taking photos and kindly drove down the field again and right past me, smiled and gave me a 'thumbs up'. Isn't it wonderful when people are so kind? Made my day ! (That may be my next upload).

The clouds were beautiful and I loved the lines the newly cut stubble made, so I painted this scene in Topaz Impression 2. I do hope you like it !

 

As always, thank you so much for your comments, faves or for just looking. Happy weekend to you all ... I hope you find similar kindness and friendliness in everyone you meet.

 

YOUR kindness has meant this image reached Explore number 79 on 13 August 2016 - thank you all so very much !

There is a tree lined avenue to Umberslade Park which is in Tanworth-in-Arden. I have upgraded my Nik subscription so having fun with the Silver Efex Pro 2. I did not have to wait too long to get a few people to frame under the bridge.

Laowa C-Dreamer 7.5mm F/2

 

It's been a while since I've "kaleidoscoped" an image, but this interior image of the modern roof of St. Matthäus-Kirche (St. Matthew church) at Berlin's Kulturforum lent itself to this type of processing because the single image is ever so slightly awry and not exactly centered. This is the most simple type of kaleidoscoping, I've only copied the image to a new layer, flipped both layers, and put them back together as a single image; finishing "this and that"-touches in LR, done.

 

St. Matthew is the only historical building left in this part of Berlin's Tiergarten district. The church building was constructed as a three-nave by Friedrich August Stüler, an exalted Prussian building official and one of the most important architects of his time. St. Matthew was inaugurated in 1846. Today, St. Matthew church is part of the so-called Kulturforum (Cultural Forum) that also houses the Neue Nationalgalerie (New National Gallery), The Berliner Philharmonie, the Kammermusiksaal (Chamber Music Hall), and several museums.

 

In 1931, Lutheran theologist Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was a member of the Bekennende Kirche (Confessing Church) and a resistance fighter against the Nazi regime (he was murdered at concentration camp Flossenbürg only one month before the end of World War II), was ordained as St. Matthew's parson. Later, the Nazis planned to take down St. Matthew and rebuild it in Spandau because it was in the way of their megalomaniac plans to remodel Berlin as the so-called "Welthauptstadt Germania" (World Capital Germania). As a part of those plans, most of the local residential development had been taken down already before WWII. Allied bombings in WWII's last years finally foiled those plans but also left St. Matthew heavily damaged. After the war, only the church building's exterior was reconstructed true to the original, while the interior was rebuilt in an unpretentious, modern way.

 

Happy Sliders Sunday, everyone, and I wish you a great new week ahead!

Dati Tecnici

a) Leica M8 + Carl Zeiss Biogon ZM 25 mm f.2,8T* (+ Filtro Leica UV/IR);

b) Tempo Finale 1/30s apertura a f.3,2 (a mano libera);

c) Utilizzato il Magnifier 1,25x per effettuare una messa a fuoco più precisa;

d) Impostazione Asa/Iso 160;

e) Lettura Esposimetrica esterna rilevata sulla media ponderata al cento;

f) Lettura Esposimetrica impostata in M (manuale) esterna effettuata con Sekonic DualSpot F-L-778 Angolo 1° (effettuate 4 misurazioni con metodo del Sistema Zonale di “Ansel Adams”) a luce riflessa e 1 lettura di equiparazione e bilanciamento con Esposimetro esterno Gossen Lunalite lettura a luce riflessa (con calotta inserita);

.

e) Esposizioni:

1)......la prima sulla superficie della tenda posta subito dopo il vetro dell’infisso (in particolare quella parte ricamata più chiara in corrispondenza del bordo superiore della sedia) ;

2)......la seconda (doppia) sia sulla guancia destra della ragazza e per equiparazione sulla guancia destra della bambola (il valore era molto simile la variazione era di 1/3 di stop) questa lo posta sulla Zona V del grigio medio al 18% aumentato di 1/ del valore;

3)......la terza sul tessuto della spalla desta della ragazza in primo piano. Questa parte di superfice era molto importante per la trama ricca di particolari e di zone chiare e scure;

4)......la quarta sui capelli della ragazza, in particolare il riflesso, ovvero la porzione illuminata della luce proveniente dal balcone che si trova a destra. (In questa porzione, dopo alcune letture di verifica, ho dato un valore n+2,5 rispetto al valore letto in quanto la luminanza della luce era filtrata da una tenda di colore Panna con striature marroni pertanto loa luce oltre alla filtratura veniva assorbita e diffusa, il cielo non era particolarmente limpido ma parzialmente nuvoloso e pertanto avevamo una temperatura cromatica di quasi 6000°K);

5)......La media ottenuta dalle letture precedenti è stata confrontata con il valore t/d (tempo/diaframma) ottenuto dalla settima lettura effettuata con misurazione a luce riflessa sulla calotta superiore dell’esposimetro Gossen Lunalite posto parallelamente alla figura e con la calotta rivolta perpendicolarmente verso l’ottica di ripresa (l’esposimetro è stato posto fra il braccio sinistro della ragazza e la guancia della bambola);

La luminanza è stata posta sulla zona V del Grigio Medio al 18% sovraesponendo intenzionalmente di 1+1/3 diaframmi. Ho intenzionalmente imposto e compresso o contratto la scala di n-1,5 per avere una maggiore corposità dei neri cercando di non aumentare il contrasto. Il totale è stato sovraesposto di n+1/3 per evitare che l’esposizione finale impostata non penalizzasse le alte luminanze delle “zone VI/VII” (disegni della stoffa del letto e della sedia nonché della trama della tenda) che sarebbero risultate con poco dettaglio (visto che la luce che arrivava in quelle parti in penombra e pre-penombra aveva una “temperatura cromatica di 2700°k”) o le basse luci (le luci in forte ombra quelle in ombra o parzialmente illuminate erano troppo basse stimate fra 1250°K"/1900°K"/. Poi c’era il fattore “caduta della luce” visto che la stanza non aveva altre fonti di illuminazione ne diretta né per riflessione (non vi erano pareti chiare vicino) tale fattore era proporzionale alla distanza dall’asse ottico di ripresa quindi in quelle zono la caduta variava dal 22% al 45%.

f) Impostazione nel corpo camera Leica M8: ISO/ASA 160, DR (auto), WB (Bilanciamento del Bianco (auto), Saturazione Colore (Stadard), Nitidezza (Medio-Alto), Contrasto (Standard) Riduzione disturbo (0), Qualità Immagine (DNG), Dimensione Immagine compresso (3:2 – 10MB);

g) Tecnica di ripresa esposimetrica con il sistema dell”Esposizione a Destra;

h) Prima Post-Produzione per la correzione del bilanciamento cromatico/tonale delle varie aree e zone di colore per compensare la caduta di luce con Nikon Capture NX 2;

i) Seconda Post-Produzione con Adobe Photoshop CC2015 per il bilanciamento delle zone d’ombra;

l) Post-Produzione di completamento con Nikon Capture NX2 e CorelPhoto-Paint X7 64bit per il completamento e la sistemazione finale del "Sistema Zonale"..

Dedicata ad un bimba di nome Giada - Dedicated to a girl named Jade

.

Questa parole sono dedicate ad una piccola bimba di nome Giada che ha avuto la sfortuna, assieme alla madre inconsapevole, di avere avuto in casa l’uomo “compagno della madre” che in assenza di quest’ultima abusava della bimba. Dai racconti delle suore tutrici e dai neuropsichiatri che attualmente la stanno aiutando a risollevarsi dal tremendo trauma psicologico e fisico. L’uomo è tato condannato.

-----------------------------------------------

This words are devoted to a little girl named Jade who has had the misfortune, together with the unwitting mother to have had in the house man "boyfriend of the mother" that in the absence of the latter abused the child. From the stories of trustees nuns and neuro psychiatrists that currently are helping to recover from the tremendous psychological and physical trauma. Man is drawn condemned.

Enya - So I Could Find My Way - Così ho trovato la mia strada

.

.

Così, ho trovato la mia strada

.

Nei falsi silenzi

delle cupe ombre,

un pallido visino,

nel muto pianto

avvolto,…nasconde

una piccola anima

dolorante.

Si sentono, sparsi

nel profondo silenzio,

eterni lamenti

che implorano

aiuto struggenti

… in sospiri frammenti.

Non è un bel giorno

come spesso tant’altri,

c’è il mostro che

mi cerca,…”vuole”

a dir di lui giocare

nervosamente attende.

Della mamma…

premuroso compagno

e agli occhi della gente.

La mia bambola,

compagna muta di tristi avventure

è lei che m’aiuta,

in quelle orrende disavventure,

a volte di pochi momenti,

ma spesso di ore infinite.

Mie grida occultate da

quella pesante mano invadente

bagnata dal mio pianto,

lacrime d'odio e dolore

irrompono le mie tenebre,

imploro a Lui negazione

di quei terribili giochi

osceni momenti,

ma al ricordo

di pacate e sue dolci parole

seguivano gravi voci,

minacce e suadenti menzogne.

Convulsi spasmi di pianto

e dolore, conducono

implacabili, l'anima a vani pensieri.

E’ Il gridare d'una sola notte?

no! .è un lamento costante

…..perenne.

False dolci parole di conforto

rantolano morenti

tra crudele realtà, vivono

sofferenti e contorti tormenti,

dell'anima mia affranta

deluse speranze,

illuse e tradite.

Senti il cuore impigliato e

squarciato da acuminati rovi

di false promesse...

Così, ho trovato la mia strada

apro d’un tratto

quell’uscio senza freni

vado via nell’immenso vuoto

chiudo gli occhi e nell’abbraccio

futuro della mamma mia

volo libera nell’aria

per andar a giocar con gli angeli.

……………………….…Luigi Mirto

.

.

So I Could Find My Way

.

In the false silences

of the dark shadows,

a pale little face,

wrapped in silent tears,

hides

a small,

painful soul.

Scattered

in the deep silence,

eternal moans

are heard, begging for

help, heartbreaking

... in fragmented sighs.

It's not a beautiful day

like so many others,

there's a monster

looking for me,..."he wants,"

as they say, to play

he nervously waits.

My mother's...

attentive companion

and in the eyes of the people.

My doll,

mute companion of sad adventures,

it's she who helps me,

in those horrendous misadventures,

sometimes for a few moments,

but often for endless hours.

My cries, hidden by

that heavy, invading hand

wet with my tears,

tears of hatred and pain

break through my darkness,

I implore Him to deny

those terrible games,

obscene moments,

but the memory

of His calm and sweet words

were followed by grave voices,

threats, and persuasive lies.

Convulsive spasms of tears

and pain, implacably lead

the soul to vain thoughts.

Is it the cry of a single night?

No! It is a constant lament

…perennial.

False, sweet words of comfort

rattle, dying

amid cruel reality, live

suffering and twisted torments,

of my broken soul

disappointed hopes,

deluded and betrayed.

You feel your heart entangled and

torn by sharp brambles

of false promises...

So, I've found my way

I suddenly open

that door without restraints

I go away into the immense void

I close my eyes and in the embrace

of my mother's future

I fly free in the air

to go and play with the angels.

……………………….…Luigi Mirto

Happy Slider Sunday - People enjoying the August 2019 Morris Cruise Night - Three exposure HDR processed with Nik HDR Efex Pro 2. Immpressionist painting effect with Topaz Studio 2. I have to say I really like this effect!

 

Bryce is a 3D program - I have been working on this one for a week or 2, I could not resist posting it - it is 7.00pm Christmas eve so every one here is gearing up for Santa cheers to all

DJL_4214-Edit-2: I just found out that the name of this ranch is "Wrench Ranch" as the wrench on the side of the barn would indicate.

  

Based on the mark 11 epic gear set for batman in injustice 2.

I think it looks so cool in the game that I just had to make it in lego. I also unlike usual decided to modify the arms and legs by gluing on components.

 

The chest gear is attatched via mini magnets like on my iron man (The black iron man preparements became this batman).

 

The belt is sculpted on a cut out plastic aheet so that it works just like the lego batman movie belt.

 

The mask is also 100% sculpted by me and it is removable.

I decided not to modify a official batman cowl because the eyes becomes so far up that way that he looks so much taller than other figures. Therefore the face proportions are slightly legofied and might seem a bit off.

 

I now have made 4 characters out of the 39+ in injustice 2 ;P.

Before you say "not another one of the harbour" please observe important differences!

1. That is blue sky and not a cloud to be seen - very rare

2. I got the picture straight and didn't have to adjust it afterwards - a very rare occurrence

3. The water is reflected back up onto the two front buildings giving them a nice mottled effect - also rare or maybe I haven't noticed that before

4. Another cell phone job - becoming less rare

 

Why am I making excuses? I'll continue to upload as many shots of the harbour as I feel like ;-)

 

(P.S. That bike is still there!!)
