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! :)

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.

Continuing my Toy-ronto Life series...
Happy Miniature Sunday, Purple Hour edition yet again :-)
This is from the last Sunday, when I had a great roof-top photo-session during the snowy purple hour. Captured this purple magic in many of my fave places I tend to photograph from the roof-top, of course, Toy-ronto spots included :-) So do expect more of this long-exposure purple goodness in the near future :-)
More of toy-some tilt-shift fun is coming - stay tuned / bientot a l'ecran ;-)
Part of my Magic Purple Hour series.
Yesterday night went to photograph the street art in back alley ways of china town. This was the first shot I took handheld (with ISO 2000, f/8, 1/13sec) just to check the composition with wide angle, before setting up the tripod. After that I took around 15 shots. Interestingly this one I like the most!
Well, again uploaded two photos in one day and in reverse order!! this one is yesterday's shot! Was too sleepy when came back home to process and upload!
Day 116 of 365
Not the best conditions, it was raining and the sea was flat calm... apart from this little bit of swell in one place on the beach.
First time I've been to this bit of coast as a photographer, it's fantastic, I will be back !

A wonderful weekend to you all! I hope you have the opportunity to hand around like these three guys.
I've been back from vietnam for more than a months - I didn't touch my camera ever since. This morning I had the feeling to grap it for the first time after the trip. It's itching again even though it is insanely cold around here. I can't wait to work on something new during the next weeks.

My first ever star trail :))
Had a great time last night with Flickr buddy Rohit Ganda as we went out for our first ever star trail photoshoot!
It was a very difficult location by a lake here in Hyderabad, with a lot of rocks and slush and mud all around and without much lights it took us a long long time to find a right spot to catch the trails.
After nearly an hour of scouting around in the dark, we both managed to find a decent location. I stacked 10 shots here, each exposed to approximately 10 mins (600 seconds) so overall about 1hr 40 mins of exposure in here and am sure a little bit longer would've been better.
Being a sucker for the human element in the frame, on my last shot I went and climbed those rocks and stood there for about 3-4minutes after which I got dizzy and decided to sit down by the side so I did that for another 3-4 minutes. Thats how I got two of myself in the frame, which I'm not sure is particularly exciting but thats how it is.
Am not 100% satisfied with the overall outcome here but considering it was my first time, I will take this. Will certainly try for a better one next time.
A happy weekend to all my friend.

Badly needed a day out today after babysitting for 2 days in a row! Joined my friend in Rowerdennan, where the weather was kind to us. Here’s one of the shots I took using a wide angle.
I’m submitting this for the Recording Images group, which as the theme of “landscapes” for this week.
I have a bit of catching up to do, but hope you’re all having a great week so far!

Lago Chiemsee - Fraueninsel (Isola delle Donne)
Il Chiemsee è il maggiore bacino lacustre della Baviera e ospita diverse isole. Le principali sono due: la Fraueninsel, l'Isola delle donne, e la Herreninsel, l'Isola degli uomini.
La Fraueninsel è un ambiente particolarmente suggestivo e romantico dove ha sede un antichissimo monastero delle Benedettine, fondato nell'anno 772 dal duca Tassilo III di Baviera e ancora oggi abitato dalle monache. Nella chiesa, ricca di elementi dell'arte carolingia e romanica, sono custodite le venerate spoglie della Beata Irmengarda
Nella Herreninsel si trovano il celebre castello di Herrenchiemsee, costruito da Re Ludwig II come copia della reggia di Versailles, e l'ex convento dei Canonici Agostiniani, oggi trasformato in museo.
Entrambe le isole sono raggiungibili dalla costa con un traghetto che parte da Prien, il caratteristico paese che si affaccia sul lago.
La stagione estiva è accompagnata al Chiemsee da un vivace programma culturale con rappresentazioni che vanno dalla musica classica, al pop, al reggae, alla musica tradizionale bavarese.
Spettacoli, concerti e musical si svolgono in luoghi di rara suggestione: in castelli, come a Herrenchiemsee e ad Aschau, oppure anche nel teatro all’aperto “Seebühne” in riva al lago o in aree appositamente attrezzate.
Inoltre è proprio il contatto diretto con una natura incontaminata che contribuisce a rendere indimenticabile ogni soggiorno in questa regione: escursioni, passeggiate intorno al lago, mountain-bike e ciclismo, bird-watching nella riserva naturale, vela, windsurf e trattamenti termali. Da non dimenticare, inoltre, il moderno centro acquatico “Prienavera” allestito in riva al lago.

This was a very interesting location. I captured this on a beautiful morning in a completely secluded beach in Harihareshwar, India. I walked along the beach for over 3kms before reaching this spot with all these dead trees right there on the beach.
I would've loved to do a long exposure here with the water flowing along these tree trunks but sadly, the waves didn't reach this point because I guess it was low tide. I was anyway quite happy with how this one came out.
I hope everybody's having a good weekend. Thanks for dropping by :)

I'm stampolina and I love to take photos of stamps. Thanks for visiting this pages on flickr.
I'm neither a typical collector of stamps, nor a stamp dealer. I'm only a stamp photograph. I'm fascinated of the fine close-up structures which are hidden in this small stamp-pictures. Please don't ask of the worth of these stamps - the most ones have a worth of a few cents or still less.
By the way, I wanna say thank you to all flickr users who have sent me stamps! Great! Thank you! Someone sent me 3 or 5 stamps, another one sent me more than 20 stamps in a letter. It's everytime a great surprise for me and I'm everytime happy to get letters with stamps inside from you!
thx, stampolina
For the case you wanna send also stamps - it is possible. (...I'm pretty sure you'll see these stamps on this photostream on flickr :) thx!

'Jacob Grimm wrote that by inscribing "aemaeth" upon the ancient Golem's brow, the clay man lived by drawing energy from the word for "truth". But simply removing the "ae" to form "maeth" or "death" returned the Golem back to inanimate clay.'
'Whereas NATO Golems turn to metal statues in death, spilling blood and oil onto the paving, right?'
'Right, though it takes a little more than harsh language. But the old AE Harpoons are perfect for that. The rocket doesn't penetrate that well-'

'-but the ability to fire multiple shots overwhelms it with one clip. And Golem legs are under a lot of stress as it is.'
'And Golem jump packs are pretty flammable.'

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.
