The Pleiades or Seven Sisters (Messier 45 or M45), is an open star cluster containing middle-aged, hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky.
The distance to the Pleiades can be used as an important first step to calibrate the cosmic distance ladder.
More recent results using the Gaia satellite (September 2016), determine distances of 134 ±6 pc.
Dust that forms a faint reflection nebulosity around the brightest stars was thought at first to be left over from the formation of the cluster, but is now known to be an unrelated dust cloud in the interstellar medium, through which the stars are currently passing.
After waking up at 4.30 am and climbing this dune during 45 minutes in the dark, the sunrise was not so spectacular as expected because of some clouds. Nevertheless, it was a great thing to do and I am happy with this picture.
Dune 45 is located 45km past the Sesriem gate on the main road connecting Sesriem to Sossuvlei. If you want to climb 170 meters to be on top of the dune to watch the sunrise, you have to spend the night at the Sossuvlei Lodge or the Sossuvlei campground because you will have access to the gate 30 minutes before the park's official opening time. The campground is always full but you can ask for a place somewhere without electricity! ;)

Hello! It's been a while but my schedule is insanely busy and I had to visit No 45, which is like 15 mins cycling, many times to get a decent shot.
Hope you like it!

Stranger #45 – Khaled
As I was on the lookout for strangers, I saw Khaled talking with friends of his on a bench. They looked like they were having fun so I thought I’d join in. I asked Khaled if I could take his picture.
Khaled is from Syria, he’s 20 years old and has been in France for 3 years now. When he arrived in France, he didn’t speak French, he didn’t know many people in France. Now he speaks French very well and he has made friends. Khaled wanted to go to medical school in order to become a doctor but his way to look at the world has changed since then. “12 years, that’s a long time to spend studying. Things can change so much in 12 years.” Khaled is a self entrepreneur. He delivers food with his scooter. In September, he will start studying computer science. Khaled asked me if I smoked, I told him I didn’t. “That’s good, you’re right not to,” he said as he lit his cigarette.
Thank you very much Khaled!

Alors que je gardais l’oeil ouvert pour trouver des inconnu-e-s, j’ai vu Khaled parler avec ses amis près d’un banc. Ils avaient l’air de bien s’amuser et j’ai décidé de me joindre à eux. J’ai demandé à Khaled si je pouvais le prendre en photo.
Khaled vient de Syrie, il a 20 ans, cela fait 3 ans qu’il est arrivé en France. Lorsqu’il est arrivé en France, il ne parlait pas français et ne connaissant presque personne en France. Maintenant, Khaled parle très bien le français et il s’est fait beaucoup d’amis à Caen. Khaled voulait faire des études de médecine mais sa vision du monde a changé entre temps. “12 ans c’est long comme études. Les choses changent beaucoup en 12 ans. Khaled est auto-entrepreneur, il livre de la nourriture avec son scooter. En septembre, il va commencer des études d’informatique. Khaled m’a demandé si je fumais. Je lui ai dit que non. “C’est bien, t’as raison de pas fumer,” m’a-t-il dit en allumant sa cigarette.
Merci beaucoup Khaled!

I seriously had to wait so long for Daisy to do this. I believe she was smelling something else besides the dandelion, but in this photo, it looks like it's the dandelion...so it's all gooood. :) I had a pretty difficult time editing this photo since it was so gloomy outside. Usually, I love gloomy weather, but now it's just all backfiring against me.
I just ordered a new wireless remote for my 40D since my other remotes died on me. I'm hoping to take some more photos that actually have me and my dogs, which might be a challenge.

Yay another work portrait for this weeks photo. Well I think its safe to say my store has the best staff photos thats for sure. Well might have taken awhile but I finally got around to taking a portrait of Daisaku here, or as we all call him, Dice. Funny part is that I was going to shoot his portrait last week but he wasn't scheduled the day I brought my gear in to shoot which is why I ended shooting Antonio instead that week. Also got to say really not sure how I managed to do a 365 and work at the same time. Barely have time these days to even really go out and do anything let alone set up a proper shoot once a week! Either way this was a fun shoot regardless. I have a very set way of shooting these in store staff portraits, they're all very blue and in the case with the video guys I always like to use the LED lights in the back just to make the scene a little more interesting, and this photo is no different. As usual very little in terms of post work besides some basic retouching and colour work but then again these simple portraits after all. Well who knows maybe I'll have time to do something else next week but who knows considering how busy my next week is looking so far!
