Tonight, 25/02/2012 the Moon, Venus and Jupiter were together in the same part of the evening sky. The Moon, only a few days old and a bright Venus were almost side by side and Jupiter just a little further out. This 450 second (7.5 minute) exposure managed to catch the rotation of the Earth - just enough of it to render the stars and planets as little more than streaks in the sky.
While I had the shutter open, I noticed a fairly bright and constant light in the sky moving rather fast up from the horizon. It wasn't an aeroplane - no flashing lights, and it was moving too fast to be a plane. I knew it was a satellite, a man made one, travelling across the sky. I hoped that it may even have been the International Space Station. I got home and checked on the NASA website and sure enough, for the time that the shutter was open on my camera, a few minutes either side of 19:30, the ISS was in fact in the sky above the UK.
You can see the ISS trail on this image as the constant (yet faint) line that travelled from bottom right to top left of this image. Getting this on the image really did round off the night. You may need to view the full size image though to see it. Not sure what magnitude the ISS was reflecting that night - but I don't think it was the best night for viewing that particular pass over.

This week I have seen how much I have improved the last months.. It feels good to know that I am getting better. Sometimes it feels like I am seeing this world with entirely new eyes. Suddenly I see, I feel and I care about other things than what I used to. Everything changes over time. I'm happy to know.. :)
Enjoy your weekend everybody! :)
Check out the Before & After
Enjoy an image of the Seattle skyline from the northwestern neighborhood of Magnolia. In the immediate foreground is Smith Cove Waterway, part of the Port of Seattle that houses extremely large cruise ships during the summer months.
In the center, the mill with the green lights is actually a grain terminal (still in operation) and is located adjacent to a fishing pier that’s open 24 hours a day.
The very scenic Elliott Bay bicycle trail goes through the area, known as Myrtle Edwards Park. I take this route to and from work eight months out of the year. In fact, bike season, for me, starts on the first Monday in March! Can’t wait!

A different view of the same scene here.
Last week I rented a Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens from Borrowlenses.com. This lens is truly a thing of beauty and awesomeness.
Funny story, actually. So, I rented the lens last week and headed to this very same spot to take some wideangle sunset shots. I spent a good hour on that windy ridge snapping away as my fingers got more and more numb. Anyway, I got some great shots that evening. Well, I thought I had gotten some great shots, but when I processed them they were covered in dust. Every single one. And I have no idea how all that dust got on my sensor. Anyway, yesterday I ran into Borrowlenses.com's San Carlos, CA location and had my sensor cleaned while I waited. Tonight I took the rented lens out for the last time (it goes back tomorrow) and took the shots I had wanted to take last week. And guess what? Tonight's sunset was ten times better than last week's...and dust-free to boot! How's that for luck? This lens is going on my wish list. It really is an amazing, amazing lens.

As teenager I wanted to have a motorbike which could be driven without licence but my pocketmoney was not enough to buy one. So I had to work and delivered newspapers every morning one and a half hour before school. It was not easy to stand up every day at 5 o'clock in the morning but I did it. One day I could buy my Mofa. You surely can imagine how proud and happy I was!
The photo was taken with a Rolleicord in 1970 in my hometown Diepholz, Lower Saxony, Germany and now scanned.

Niente di meglio per scaricare lo stress!! ascoltare musica e correre in riva al mare, questa è la spiaggia di Fertilia, ad un passo da Alghero: una delle mie mete preferite!
The day after Christmas, I did a walkabout at my brother-in-laws house. As you can see, no snow! But the light was heavenly, the fall color still vibrant ... and I so love his little rowboat!!
Happy Cliché Saturday!!
A night view of Barcelona. A shot made with 4 different exposures in RAW I blended together in Photoshop.
One long exposure for the moving clouds, one very short exposure for the city lights, one very long exposure for the grass in the foreground and another one for the sky.
The city is getting asleep while the clouds in movement are looking like giant sheets protecting Barcelona people.
Please see the picture in a night background in Lightbox
Tenaya Lake, Yosemite National Park.
As we view all these once-in-a-lifetime shots of frozen lakes from the comfort of our rooms, it's easy to forget one thing...
Even when the sky's clear, high country winters are FREEZING.
One of my goals when creating/processing an image is to share my experiences with each of you, to be able to help you feel what I was feeling when I was shooting. I hope the intimate closeup and the glacial blue allows you to feel that freezing breeze whipping right through you, just as it did to humble me last weekend. I have used Lightroom to bring out -- not to create! -- the blue in the ice. I normally don't like to post multiple consecutive images from the same shoot, but this one's so different from the last that I thought it was appropriate.
For the record, just a week later, the Sierras are now in the middle of a huge snowstorm and the heart of the high country has returned to its all-but-inaccessible winter state. Amazing how quickly things change up there.
Have a great day!

The Sierra high country is timeless. These granite mountains, these meadows, and even this tree sentinel have been here longer than I've been alive and will be here much longer after I am gone. They stand day after day, month after month, year after year. Not waiting for anything, not expecting anything. No deadlines, no schedules, no Mondays, Wednesdays, or Saturdays.
If you spend enough time in the mountains, you begin to tap into that endless cycle. The feeling of "having to do something" slips away, along with pressures, schedules, and responsibilities. I don't know anything quite so pacifying and relieving as connecting with the stillness of the mountains.

In Raw Converter (Nikon Capture NX2)
- Processed single raw file twice, once for sky and once for the foreground and tree
- Global contrast for added pop
- Local brightness/contrast adjustments to brighten tree, enrich the sky, add contrast to granite
In Photoshop:
- Manual blend of two tiffs for master composite using an initial gradient mask, refined using a luminosity mask to paint in tree detail in the sky
- Selective sharpening of the granite, the tree, and the mountains
- Soft light burn / dodge layer, burned granite slightly
- Curves layer to add a little more saturation and oomph to sky
- Color balance layer to remove slight excess warm tint
All the best!

Shot from the bridge under the round tower on this photo (www.flickr.com/photos/dcdead/6641991393/in/photostream/). You can see the bridge from where the other photo was taken in this one (beside the heating plant).
I also have a similar shot to this from a few years ago. See here
By the way: The Ferrari boat is new. The one you can see in the old shot burned down, but the owner got a new one ;-)

Durbar Square is the generic name used to describe plazas opposite old royal palaces in Nepal. Before the Unification of Nepal, Nepal consisted of small kingdoms, and Durbar Squares are most prominent remnants of those old kingdoms in Nepal. In particular, three Durbar Squares in the Kathmandu Valley, belonging to the three kingdoms situated there before unification, are most famous: Kathmandu Durbar Square, Patan Durbar Square, and Bhaktapur Durbar Square. All three are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The Kathmandu Durbar Square is surrounded by spectacular architecture and vividly showcases the skills of the Newari artists and craftsmen over several centuries. The royal palace was originally situated at Dattaraya square and was only later moved to the Durbar square location.
The Kathmandu Durbar Square holds the palaces of the Malla and Shah kings who ruled over the city. Along with these palaces, the square also surrounds quadrangles revealing courtyards and temples. The square is presently known as Hanuman Dhoka, a name derived from the statue of Hanuman, the monkey devotee of Lord Ram, near the entrance of the palace.

Mont Blanc (French) or Monte Bianco (Italian), meaning "White Mountain", is the highest mountain in the Alps, Western Europe and the European Union. It rises 4,810.45 m (15,782 ft)[2] above sea level and is ranked 11th in the world in topographic prominence. It is also sometimes known as La Dame blanche (French for "the White Lady") or Il Bianco (Italian for "the White One").
The mountain lies between the regions of Aosta Valley, Italy, and Haute-Savoie, France and the location of the summit is on the watershed line between the valleys of Ferret and Veny in Italy and the Arve Valley in France.
The two most famous towns near Mont Blanc are Courmayeur in Aosta Valley, Italy, and Chamonix in Haute-Savoie, France—the site of the first Winter Olympics. A cable car ascends and crosses the mountain from Courmayeur to Chamonix.
Begun in 1957 and completed in 1965, the 11.6 km (7¼ mi) Mont Blanc Tunnel runs beneath the mountain between these two countries and is one of the major trans-Alpine transport routes.
The Mont Blanc massif is popular for mountaineering, hiking, skiing and snowboarding.
The summit of Mont Blanc is a thick, perennial ice and snow dome whose thickness varies, so no exact and permanent summit elevation can be determined. But accurate measurements have been made. For a long time its official elevation was 4,807 m (15,771 ft). Then in 2002, the IGN and expert surveyors, with the aid of GPS technology, measured it to be 4,810.40 m (15,782 ft 2 in).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_Blanc
The Aiguille du Midi (3,842 m) is a mountain in the Mont Blanc massif in the French Alps.
The cable car to the summit, the Téléphérique de l'Aiguille du Midi, was built in 1955 and held the title of the world's highest cable car for about two decades. It still holds the record as the highest vertical ascent cable car in the world, from 1,035 m to 3,842 m. There are two sections: from Chamonix to Plan de l'Aiguille at 2,317 m and then directly, without any support pillar, to the upper station at 3,777 m (the building contains an elevator to the summit). The span of the second section is 2,867 m measured directly, but only 2,500 m measured horizontally. It thus still is the second longest span width, measured directly.

So so much that has happened the last week. I want to say, thanks for all the attention I have gotten, it has been unreal for me!! And I am really sorry I cannot get out to everyone who has added me as contact! Thank you all! Dont hesitate with sending me a flickrmail if you have any questions or just want to talk.. :)
I have pushed away some of my fears.. I applied for jobs, and I even made a facebook page.. I appreciate so much if you like.. I have 17 likes now! haha :P
www.facebook.com/sophiaalexisphotography
On my site you can see lots of photographs that I never uploaded to Flickr or just recently taken photos that i am thinking about uploading :)
Well, thanks again! I appreciate it all so much!
By the way, I have some photos out on Getty Images now!

I had a whole other fence planned for today ... until I realized it was Friday the 13th!! In light of that news, I decided that a fence ---> photographed in a cemetery ---> on Halloween ---> was the more fitting fence to post!
So here it is, complete with spooky cobwebs, textures from the tombstones overlaid on the background ... and a bonus snap of a suspicious photographer character lurking in my viewfinder {image in comments}!
~
Happy "Friday the 13th" Fence Friday!!
I hope everyone has a better day than Jacob did!
Plankton has traveled to a lot of places, and we {he & I} realized: he's never been to his hometown!!
So off to Chicago for a sunrise! I am guessing that most of you will recognize this iconic backdrop ("The Bean") in Millennium Park ... though probably not ever like this!! As I pulled Plankton out of my backpack ... this fake mustache fell to the ground. Naturally, he begged to wear it for this shot!
And why would I have a fake mustache in my backpack you ask? I 'forced' all the cousins into a mustache photoshoot over the holidays. {see all the silly shots in comments} The one Plankton is sporting is the one Jackie used!
Sorry I haven't been around much ... who knew that a 'job' could be so time consuming!! They've asked me to work extra days (a good thing for the bank account ... but not for Flickring)!! I shall catch up tonight ... just had to post a toy today!!
Happy Toy-in-the-frame Thursday!!!
