Now that I have the building image its time to see what I can do with it. I combined the building image with various other images to see if anything came to light. The fireworks was one image I really wanted to play with - we'll see where that goes, but within the combined image was one little piece toward the center that I wanted to explore further. I added some ripple filtering to the fireworks and then a little meadow and some Sweet Peas, the color reminds me of a persimmon. Done for now.
Off to the OB, NC for a bit of R&R.
He was so happy to see the sunrise! It has been a very long time since I photographed Plankton! He was very miffed and uncooperative, but finally I got him to oblige. Even toys can't resist a good sunrise over the lake!
It has also been a long time since I posted a Toy on Thursday! *gasp* In fact ... the last time I posted was way back in January, and ... incidentally, that one was taken in Chicago too!
Happy Toy-in-the-Frame Thursday!!

It's day 60!! Oh god, how fast time has gone. Normally I wouldn't have noticed this, but now the days are counted so. Just 40 days until day 100. And that is a lot.
Okay so, I got this idea while editing yesterdays photo. That is why it is alike. And I wanted to do it on asphalt, but I honestly didn't want to risk my life. I hope no one takes the title bad, but I felt it fit.

Shibuya, Tokyo.
...
Walking in the early morning and leaving the Shibuya Excel Hotel to encounter the thousands of Tokyo commuters milling around Shibuya train station, the thing that strikes you is the silence. A silence punctuated with the click clack of high heels and the public announcements over the tannoy.
Salary men and salary women on the march. Solemn. Silent. Not yet adjusted to the new day, quietly, sleepily they move in sweeping masses, herded on to trains where mobile phones are always on silent. Nobody talking.
Fast forward to the evening, and it has all changed.
In the station, loud conversation and laughter drown out the tannoy's public announcements. The clickety-clack of high heels goes unnoticed. The early morning solemn faces are now animated, more cheerful. Smiles are seen. Salary men and salary women are unwinding. Unwinding after the working day.The march has changed its beat. The sweeping masses are no longer herded along. Time has slowed a little. On the streets, small groups gather. The rush to get where they have to go to has gone.
For now.
...rebellion in the street...have a excellent weekend my friends, remember not to compromise on having fun :-)
Who doesn't love a Cthulhu? I've been wanting to build one for awhile. The contest over at ReBrick gave me an excuse to get to work. It placed 2nd in the ReBrick Building Challenge by the way - just found out today. (July 16)
Lots of thanks to everyone who put up with my continual reminders to go to ReBrick and vote. If it weren't for you guys taking the time to help out, I wouldn't have placed at all.
Sorry I'm late...
Because of my family situation,
so I'm late...so sorry.
我之前家裡發生一點事情，
所以這些天都沒有上來...
很抱歉。
Un día cualquiera, a la hora azul, las luces pueden ser maravillosas.

Ferrari 166 MM e Bandini 750 Sport "Saponetta" a "Le Mitiche Sport a Bassano" 2012
El Faro de Ponta da Piedade, en Lagos, fue construido entre 1912 y 1913, entrando en servicio el 1 de julio de 1913. La lámpara original era de petróleo; en diciembre de 1923 la luz pasa a ser de ocultaciones, con una cadencia de 2,5 segundos cada 69,5 segundos.
En 1953 el faro fue electrificado con grupos electrógenos, y se sustituyó la lámpara de petróleo por una eléctrica, con un alcance original de 15 millas, que aumentó posteriormente a 18 y finalmente a 20, el alcance actual
Fue completamente automatizado en 1983.
El faro tiene como peculiaridad estar flanqueado por dos enormes palmeras, y la zona en que se ubica, a unos 2 kilómetros de Lagos, es muy visitada por sus acantilados y cuevas horadadas por la acción del mar.
Espero sea de vuestro agrado

Reflections of sunrise over Cronulla rock pool, Cronulla Beach, Sydney
Cronulla is a popular tourist attraction and attracts many beachgoers from all over Sydney. Cronulla Beach features a long stretch of sand that runs from Boat Harbour to North Cronulla, followed by rock pools and another sandy beach at South Cronulla.

Realizing something about yourself is easy, changing it is hard. But that is what I have intended to do. Change myself. I have finally realized what I am doing to myself now, it is not good. I don't want to say too much about it, but it is mostly about procrastinating waay to much. That will ruin most things, including photography.
The last week now that I have had vacation, most of my days have been like this; go to bed at 4 o'clock in the morning, wake up at 1 o'clock the day after, watch desperate housewives for the next 4 hours, eating dinner THEN go out shooting. And it just does not work this way anymore. I realized that today, because I wanted to shoot the sunset, so I hurried up just to find out the sun had already set. Then I found myself in great frustration thinking WHAT THE HELL DO I DO NOW?! I ended up trying to take some self portraits, then I went to the water and I bathed with a dress. Theeen, finally.. This. Done. Shooted at midnight. I do not want to do this with myself anymore. I am making the 365 way harder than it really is.

I'm home from my school trip and honestly I didn't shoot much except the last day where I asked if someone wanted to go down to the river.
I had a few great days. We were in south of Norway, and the nature was so nice. I have been climbing, rafting in a 7 degrees cold norwegian river, go-kart. Really had a few days with much adrenalin! It was great :)
Now I have some catching up to do.. !
Also, thank you so much Moritz, for writing me such a sweet testimonial. <3 Please go to his stream and check him out if you haven't already, he is amazing! :)
Since today I'm ill and I have more free time, I deciced to use this picture as sort of map of my other pictures of Genova, and "geo-tagged" a few of them in the map. Feel free to wander around and take a visit to this city, and tell me if you like the idea, maybe I'll add more links.

Same location of my "a dive in Genoa" shot, and same lens too (Samyang fisheye). The top of the terrace of "Palazzo Rosso" (Red Palace), Via Garibaldi, is a great panoramic place. I think that it would also be good to isolate some datail with long focal lenses (that I don't own ^__^), but the view with the fisheye is quite impressive too.

I had almost forgotten how it was like to go out in the water to shoot. The water is getting warmer and warmer indeed :)
Soo.. I have very little ideas right now, and mostly all of my ideas just come very spontaneous.
On sunday I will be leaving for a school trip.. And I am trying to figure out how to post when I'm gone haha..
A title that might not make sense to many but i'm sure you kinda get what i'm trying to say :P An urge to do quick non-hdr post tonight before heading to bed. sorry for being lazy & not doing much catch up here. All of you are always kind to me so i'm certain you will forgive me :P A good nite from chilly down under for now! Yes welcome to winter for me (geesh that makes me miserable already :S) & for most of you at the other end of the world... damn..enjoy a great start to summer!!!! ;)

It’s great to finally post again! My new website has kept me very busy. So many photographers have amazing websites now. My new venture has been a surprising success so far, and if anyone is interested I would be happy to share what I have learned. I have a “My Blog” link on my website, where I will include steps I have taken to make the site work, including how I have been able to sell prints internationally. This was a nightmare at first; however I figured out a system for almost all sales.
The Shot: I scouted out The Marin Headlands Area to the north of San Francisco, for a spot where I could capture an image of the fireworks show, which was to be the finale of The Golden Gate Bridge 75th anniversary celebration. The Headland hills were littered with people wanting to witness the display, including many other photographers. I chose to set up on Wolfback Ridge, where I was joined by about 200 other excited individuals. This was a great spot and not bad at all for shooting the fireworks; however I soon realized that I was not set up at the best possible location to capture what I had envisioned.
While waiting for the show’s finale, I became captivated by the colorful little boats that had gathered in the harbor. I decided to attempt a 6-shot pano of the scene to include the boats, city skyline and the car light trail that snaked from The Golden Gate Bridge along Highway 101. While I kept my camera aperture setting at a constant f/8, I realized that I needed to adjust the shutter speed setting as I panned across the scene. Doing this would give me a better chance of maintaining even lighting throughout the sky.

The buttes of the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park are icons of the Wild West.
They have been the background of many movies such as John Ford’s Stagecoach with John Wayne and have had bit parts in Easy Rider, 2010 Space Odyssey, The Eiger Sanction and Forest Gump.
You will see vehicles on the road in the foreground. If you had looked a short while before this photo was taken, you would have seen my red Toyota proceeding in a cloud of dust along the road.
This is the view from the visitor's center.
I would like to return and spend much more time to see and capture the beauty of the park.

Not something I'd normally post, but two together, especially the diversity between the two GT-R's, was pretty different...
I'm not going to pretend that I really like GT-R's, because I don't. I once did, when they first came out a few years ago, but somehow they lost all 'coolness' to me. What do you think of the GT-R? Also, what year GTR's are these? I think that the white and red are 2011 and 2010, respectively. Correct me if I'm wrong though :P (probably!)
Anyway, I threw this up because I just saw it there, and wondered if anyone would be interested. I took this shot quite a while ago while on a group photo shoot with "MSCC". I've got some more cool stuff coming *soon*... :O
C&C appreciated!

The Pannonian Plain is a large plain in Central Europe that remained when the Pliocene Pannonian Sea dried out. It is a geomorphological subsystem of the Alps-Himalaya system.
The river Danube divides the plain roughly in half.
The plain is divided among Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine.
The plain is roughly bounded by the Carpathian mountains, the Alps, the Dinaric Alps and the Balkan mountains.
Although rain is not plentiful, it usually falls when necessary and the plain is a major agricultural area; it is sometimes said that these fields of rich loamy loess soil could feed the whole of Europe. For its early settlers, the plain offered few sources of metals or stone. Thus when archaeologists come upon objects of obsidian or chert, copper or gold, they have almost unparalleled opportunities to interpret ancient pathways of trade.
The precursor to the present plain was a shallow sea that reached its greatest extent during the Pliocene, when three to four kilometres of sediments were deposited.
The plain was named after the Pannonians, a northern Illyrian tribe. Various different peoples inhabited the plain during its history. In the first century BC, the eastern parts of the plain belonged to the Dacian state, and in the first century AD its western parts were subsumed into the Roman Empire. The Roman province named Pannonia was established in the area, and the city of Sirmium, today Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia, became one of the four capital cities of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century.

We had a happy Victoria Day on Monday with splendid summer weather and with delightful firework festivity at night. And I had quite a festive rooftop photo-session, capturing all the sparkling colourful downtown and fireworks at Ashbrdge's Bay.
It all started with the magic blue hour, which got deeper and deeper with each volley of fireworks - you'll see it next :-)

From coast to coast... The last post was the Bay Bridge. It quietly celebrated a 75th birthday last November to little fanfare, unlike the attention the Golden Gate Bridge is getting. Who's the red-headed step child now?
Well, all words cast aside, I was in Boston last week. The waters were so still you just wanted to dump some tea in the Harbor and scream "No taxation without representation"! Haha. This is the Evelyn Moakley Bridge. It is next to a U.S. Courthouse, which was subsequently named the John (aka "Joe") Joseph Moakley (former Congressman) Federal Courthouse shortly before his death. It's a little further down the Harbowalk than last year's post.
Not even room for a little 'un on this packed day car in Sligo town. Destinations advertised outside Walsh's were Ballina, Bundoran, Enniskillen, Ballyshannon and Roscommon.
Thanks to John Spooner, we now know this photo was taken on Corcoran's Mall in Sligo and he found great info on Walsh's schedules from Slater's 1870 directory for Sligo:
"To BALLINA, from Corcoran's Mall, a Mail Car, every morning at fifty-five minutes past six, and a Van at halfpast two afternoon.
To BALLYSHANNON, from Corcoran's Mall, a Mail Car, every morning at six; also a Day Car at twenty minutes past two afternoon, during summer months only.
To ENNISKILLEN, Cars leave WALSH'S Office, Corcoran's Mall, every day (Sunday excepted) at seven in the morning." See comments below for how John worked out that the trip from Sligo to Ballyshannon worked out at an average of 6.75 mph!
Date: 1880s?

Hundreds of galahs gather on the power lines in late afternoon for a snack before retiring. They glide down to the grass and eat the seeds - bit of an essay follows. They are also in pairs everywhere - mating season coming up.
The Word Galah: Galah is an English word (Australian) pronounced ga-lah.
It originates from the Yuwaalaraay (Aboriginal language of southeast Australia) word gilaa.
Description: The Galah is pale grey above and pink below. The male has dark brown eye and female has red eye. Its crest varies from pink in Western Australia to white throughout the rest of Australia. Juvenile Galahs have a grey breast and a grey eye-ring. Often seen in large flocks of between 30 to 1000 birds. In rain they like to hang upside down from branches or power lines, wings spread wide to catch the rain.
Other Names: Rose-breasted Cockatoo
Size: 34-38cm
Habitat: Open woodland, parks, roadsides, playing fields.
Food: fruit, seeds, nuts, berries, plant shoots and roots, grubs. They often feed on seed that has fallen to the ground and also eat orchard fruit and nuts.
Breeding: Nests in hollow tree. The nesting hole is lined with leaves and twigs. 3-4 white eggs are laid. Incubation is shared by both parents over a 30 day period. the young leave the nest at about 8 weeks.
Range: widespread in suitable habitat. Found throughout Australia, except in the very dry desert regions and dense forests.
Classification:-
Class:Aves
Order:Psittaciformes
Family:Cacatuidae
Genus:Cacatua
Species:roseicapilla
Common Name:Galah
In captivity galahs can live to 80 years of age.

I have no idea where that quote is from, but whatever. :)
I really like this project so far. So far it has pushed me out to shoot, pushed me out to explore and pushed me to think ideas. Yesterday I was exploring one part of where I lived, today I explored the other side. And I remember this place, last time I was here was in august when I just had gotten a little more interest of photography. I know now, that if I were there in august right now I would take so many different photos. I have a completely different mind now :)
And it took me forever to edit the flame! But at least now I know how to make a flame in photoshop! :D
