God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.

في مثل هذا اليوم من كل عام تمر بنا ذكرى اليوم الوطني للمملكة العربية السعودية .
وهي ذكرى بالنسبة لنا تعني الأنطلاقة التاريخية الموفقه . على يد المؤسس المغفور له
أن شاء الله تعالى الملك عبد العزيز بن عبد الرحمن آل سعود .
تلك الأنطلاقة النموذجية . الفاعله .التي من خلالها تم إرساء قواعد البناء بشكل متميز
أدى الى تحقيق جميع التطلعات . حيث شهدت على ضوء ذلك . بلادنا الغالية منذ ذلك اليوم تقدما حضاريا
واسع النطاق على كافة المستويات والمجالات .
وأصبحت المملكة العربية السعودية في مصاف الدول المتقدمة . بل ومن أهم وأبرز دول العالم .
مواكبة للتقدم الحضاري حريصة على بناء الوطن والمواطن .
ذلك البناء . وذلك العطاء . وذلك الأهتمام لم يقتصر على النهضة الصناعية او العمرانية او الزراعية او التعليمية
فحسب بل هي نهضة شاملة . راقية . عادلة . وموفقه .بعون الله ثم بجهود وتوجيهات حكومتنا الرشيدة العادله
قبل 75 عاما توحدت أرجاء هذا الوطن المعطاء وهي عبارة عن صحراء قاحلة . موحشه . تفتقر مقومات التنمية
وامكانيات النهوض . ولكن التصور العميق . والنظرة الثاقبة . والكلمة الصادقة . والتوجهات العادلة . عانقت مؤسسها
منذ اللحظة الأولى . الأمر الذي ساهم بشكل كبير الى تفعيل الأفكار والخطط المرسومة .
فانطلقت قافلة الخير ولاسلام في أرض الخير والسلام تحت شعار( لاإله إلا الله محمد رسول الله ) تدفعها الجهود المخلصه
والنوايا السليمة والأراء المتظافرة . وقد أعطى المغفور له أن شاء الله تعالى الملك عبد العزيز جل أهتماماته
وأمكانياته لمايخدم تلك المسيرة التاريخية الناجحة .
وقد كان لأبناءه الأشاوس من بعده عظيم الأثر في أستمرارية البناء بالشكل الذي يلبي مطلب الوطن والمواطن على
حد سوى.
أسال الله عز وجل ان يديم علي بلادنا الطاهرة امنها ويجنبها شر الحاقدين

"... D'espacio sin apurarme
y, con alma de cantor,
voy orejeando la flor
que la tierra quiso darme...
Siempre me gustó hamacarme
al compás de lo que tocan...
De apurao hay quién desoca
el caballo que más quiere
y ansina el mesmo se hiere
como el pescao por la boca ..."

This is a tribute to one of my most beloved italian singer and songwriter...........Lucio Dalla, who died 3 days ago..
I lost a piece of youth:(
If you wish you can click on the notes to listen to some of his songs!
Testo 4 Marzo 1943 Lucio Dalla
Dice che era un bell'uomo e veniva
veniva dal mare
parlava un'altra lingua
pero' sapeva amare
e quel giorno lui prese mia madre
sopra un bel prato
l'ora più dolce
prima d'essere ammazzato
Cosi' lei resto' sola nella stanza
la stanza sul porto
con l'unico vestito
ogni giorno più corto
e benchè non sapesse il nome
e neppure il paese
m'aspetto' come un dono d'amore
fino dal primo mese
Compiva sedici anni
quel giorno la mia mamma
le strofe di taverna
le cantò a ninna nanna
e stringendomi al petto che sapeva
sapeva di mare
giocava a far la donna
con il bimbo da fasciare
E forse fu per gioco
o forse per amore
che mi volle chiamare
come nostro Signore
Della sua breve vita il ricordo
il ricordo più grosso
e' tutto in questo nome
che io mi porto addosso
E ancora adesso che gioco a carte
e bevo vino
per la gente del porto mi chiamo
Gesù Bambino
E ancora adesso che gioco a carte
e bevo vino
per la gente del porto io sono
Gesu'Bambino
E ancora adesso che gioco a carte
e bevo vino
per la gente del porto mi chiamo
Gesu' Bambino

NYC Downtown. Viewed from Liberty State Park, Jersey City, New Jersey.
Doesn't Brisbane at night seem quite magical? Like it's not quite real? To me Brisbane is where it all starts, the possibilities are endless.
Brisbane River Festival 2011 at South Bank under a full moon. This is the Golden Casket Mirror Ball Light Sphere, it's pretty cool (but sadly only there for two weeks)!
"All the world's a stage" is the phrase that begins a monologue from William Shakespeare's As You Like It. It compares the world to a stage and life to a play, and catalogues the seven stages of a man's life, sometimes referred to as the seven ages of man: infant, schoolboy, lover, soldier, justice, pantaloon, and second childhood.
Another shot from the recent holiday in Turkey. One for lightbox, really, if you want to bring out some interesting distant light trails as the taller yachts come into harbour. Göcek is a super place for long exposure shots of an evening, as it is full of boards, posts, walls and other improvised tripods. This was taken on just such a wall.
Much of Göcek is given over to yachts (in the discreetly named "Mega Yacht Super Marina"), but in middle of everything this quirkly little plank pier still stands to moor small local craft. Ten minutes after the last boat trip gets back in you see a little swarm of pancake, ice cream and similar vessels all dock here - having spent the day pursuing the tourist fleet like seagulls (with an inverted business model).
My favourite part of the image is the funny underwater sail suggested by the reflected lights to the left. It's not as pronounced as I'd hoped, yet I also like the way the blur of the boats diminishes as you move back in the frame. Hope everyone's having a great week!
303 second exposure.
Il Lake Louise è un lago dell'Alberta, Canada. Il colore verde smeraldo è dovuto alla “farina di roccia” (rock flour) depositata dai ghiacciai che si affacciano sul lago.

This shot is from a solo mission I did in Davenport back in May. I had to get down and dirty here by taking off my shoes and standing in a rush of freezing water. I was treated to some really nice light and I couldn't believe I was the only one out here.
I also took a long exposure and as I was about to hit my cable release, a large dog brushed up against me and scared the LIVING &^%$ out of me; thus hitting my tripod and screwing up the long exposure. It's all good, I was just happy it wasn't the Loch Ness monster. I hope you are enjoying your week and may the light be with you where ever you are. Jave
Cueva de la Fuente del Francés ( a través del espejo). / Cave of Source of the French . ( Flip horizontal).
♫ Múm - Green Grass Of Tunnel . ♫
Fotografía dedicada a C., pues mis imágenes no están completas sin su poética prosa.
Para acompañar, la música del grupo islandés Múm, en un maravilloso video.
En Hoznayo se encuentra la Fuente del Francés, que fue un balneario de aguas termales en el siglo XIX.
La leyenda cuenta que un abate francés, huyendo de los horrores de la Revolución, vino a parar a estos parajes, ocultándose en la cueva. Y dicen que, de tanto llorar, sus ojos vinieron a irritarse de tal manera que le causaron un mal de la vista. Pero, en una ocasión notó que lavándoselos con las aguas de la fuente, sus ojos sanaron. De ahí el descubrimiento de las virtudes de las aguas y del nombre del lugar.
Photography dedicated to C., because my photos are not complete without her poetic prose.
To accompany, the music of Icelandic group Múm, in a wonderful video.
In the village of Hoznayo is the Source of the French, it was a hot springs resort in the nineteenth century.
Legend has it that a French Abbe, fleeing the horrors of the Revolution, came to stop these places, hiding in the cave. From time to mourn, his eyes Abbe irritararon and caused a bad view. But once he noticed that washing with water from the source, his eyes healed. Hence, the discovery of the virtues of water and place name.
...per alcuni, i sogni determinano l''inizio di uno spazio senza tempo, dove ogni cosa è possibile perchè impalpabile. Non inquinabile dalla realtà.
Per alcuni altri, per me, il sogno è parte della vita stessa...

The photo above was taken at the western ridge of Lake Ann which is about 700 ft above the lake and a front seat view of the magnificent and imposing Mount Shuksan range.
Lake Ann is still frozen over, though there's a hint of melted areas around it. It may not completely thaw this year considering it's almost fall now.
The waxing half moon was a few degrees above the horizon and about to set when this was taken -- not a complete deal breaker for astrophotography. It helped illuminate the scene quite well.

The story of this photo:
This is the first image from my recent trip to the German Alps. Moreover, it is the first image I upload that was taken with my new Nikkor lens. I replaced my Sigma 10-20 lens with the Nikon 10-24 lens due to a lack of sharpness. This investment paid off. Go here to follow the discussion on this switch.
The news continue: For the first time, I am providing the original source files for everybody to download and work with. If you'd like to check how your processing style looks with this image, go ahead, download the source photo package (link given above), and have fun with them. I have started a thread in the HDR group where you can post your results.
I am looking forward to seeing them!
Enjoy!
Take a look at my "HDR Cookbook"! It contains some more information on my techniques.
How it was shot:
> Handheld [details]
> Four exposures (-4, -2, 0, +2 EV) semi-autobracketed and merged to get and HDR
> Camera: Nikon D7000
> Lens: Nikkor AF-S DX 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED
> Details can be found here
How it was tonemapped:
> Preparation: developed the raw files with ACR mainly in order to reduce the CA [details]
> Created additional exposures in ACR
> Applied noise reduction (Topaz Denoise) to each of the source images [details]
> Resulting TIFF images were then used as input to Photomatix
> Tone-mapping: Photomatix Pro 4.0 (Detail Enhancer)
How it was post-processed:
> Post-processing was done in Photoshop
> Topaz Adjust on the entire image to get back the colors and the details [details]
> Topaz Infocus on the entire image for sharpening
> Saturation layer on the shed (tone down the green cast on the side)
> Curves layer on the shed (more contrast)
> Saturation layer on the sky (master, lightness, hue)
> Levels layer on the sky (more contrast)
> Saturation layer on the clouds (desaturation)
> Levels layer on the clouds (contrast)
> Levels layer on the mountains in the back (more contrast)
> Photo filter layer on the mountains in the back (removing blue cast)
> Global saturation layer (master)
> Global levels layer (contrast - masked to preserve highlights)
> Watermarking

Some nights it seems like there are three main sunsets: 1. When the sun sets behind the horizon; 2. When the first round of cloud glow kicks off after the sun sets behind the horizon; and, 3. Once in awhile a second round of glow comes to the clouds just as blue hour is kicking off.
Last night was just such a night here in Fort Fun, yay!
Image Notes: Manually blended two exposures for foreground and sky. Shooting blue hour can result in some fantastic results, but experiment with exposure. For e.g. this image is a tad brighter than the scene was in reality.

Our train got into Paris Gard du Nord around 17:30, then we walked to our nearby hotel, just by Gare du l'Est. It was a quick turnaround, as I wanted to be out at a Parisienne landmark by sunset. Now, I know that most of my photos are at sunset, sunrise or the blue hour, but there simply is no better times to shoot landscapes, especially colour and HDR ones. There are exceptions to the rule, obviously, but 95% of the time this rule holds true, at least in my style of photography.
We got to the Eiffel Tower ridiculously early, so went for some food while I waited for the light to change. As soon as the sun started dropping, I raced to this little park in front of the tower and started snapping away. Poor Anna had to wait patiently while I ran backwards and forwards changing position, getting different angles and adapting as the light changed. When the sun got to a certain point, I noticed how it shone through this gap in the hedge. I waited until I could frame it with this little tree as well.
We were quite lucky to get any type of decent sunset, as it had been spitting a few minutes beforehand and the sky was covered in dark storm clouds. We even saw thunderstorms later on from the top of the tower. Thankfully the clouds broke up for a while as the sun dipped beneath the horizon.
The Eiffel Tower (La Tour Eiffel) was completed in 1889 in only four years and was the entrance arch to the World's Fair that year. It was designed by Gustave Eiffel and held the title of the tallest man-made structure in the world (324 metres) for 41 years until it was surpassed by the Chrysler Building. To make it look more uniform to people on the ground, the tower is actually painted in three different shades of paint; the lightest at the top and the darkest at the bottom.
This is a 7-shot HDR. You nearly always need to take more than three exposures if you're shooting directly into the sun, as the range of light is far greater than most normal scenes.
This photo is for Carol (in a barrel), as she went to Paris a few days before me and probably didn't bother taking any sunset shots.
No images in comments please.

When I was looking at photos of Portland before I left, this was one of the shots I really wanted to try. I never would have found this spot If it weren't for David taking me up there. It took me several tries to get a sharp shot, as you have to zoom to 200mm and take a 20-30 second exposure. I sure am happy with the result. Thanks again David! =)

ZLATIBOR is a mountain of exquisite beauty. It has pleasant and mild climate, large clearings, exuberant pastures intersected with mountains with mountain streams and pine trees - which this mountain is named for.
The average hight is about 1000m above sea level.
Mountain and sea gulfs encounter here which speed up the curing and the recovering from large number of lung and heart illnesses, especially from illnesses of thyroid gland and anemia.
The Balkans is the historical name of a geographic region of southeastern Europe. The region takes its name from the Balkan Mountains, which run through the centre of Bulgaria into eastern Serbia. The region has a combined area of 550,000 km2 (212,000 sq mi) and a population of about 55 million people.
The ancient Greek name for the Balkan Peninsula was “the Peninsula of Haemus” (Χερσόνησος του Αίμου, Chersónisos tou Aímou).
The Balkans are adjoined by water on three sides: the Black Sea to the east and branches of the Mediterranean Sea to the south and west (including the Adriatic, Ionian, Aegean and Marmara seas).
The identity of the Balkans is dominated by its geographical position; historically the area was known as a crossroads of various cultures. It has been a juncture between the Latin and Greek bodies of the Roman Empire, the destination of a massive influx of pagan Slavs, an area where Orthodox and Catholic Christianity met, as well as the meeting point between Islam and Christianity.
The Balkans today is a very diverse ethno-linguistic region, being home to multiple Slavic, Romance, and Turkic languages, as well as Greek, Albanian, and others. Through its history many other ethnic groups with their own languages lived in the area, among them Thracians, Illyrians, Romans, Uzes, Pechenegs, Cumans, Avars, Celts, Germans, and various Germanic tribes.
The Balkan region was the first area of Europe to experience the arrival of farming cultures in the Neolithic era. The practices of growing grain and raising livestock arrived in the Balkans from the Fertile Crescent by way of Anatolia, and spread west and north into Pannonia and Central Europe.
In pre-classical and classical antiquity, this region was home to Greek city-states, Illyrians, Paeonians, Thracians, Epirotes, Mollosians, Thessalians, Dacians and other ancient groups. Later the Roman Empire conquered most of the region and spread Roman culture and the Latin language but significant parts still remained under classical Greek influence. During the Middle Ages, the Balkans became the stage for a series of wars between the Byzantine, Bulgarian and Serbian Empires.

Es el agua, es el viento, es resumen de todo lo que siento,
es la arena, es el sentimiento, es la tinta que no borra en el silencio,
es el aire de puntillas, es la calma cogiendo carrerilla,
es el sabor de lo pequeño, es tocar un sueño.
Es el mapa de un suspiro, es lo que hay cuando te miro,
es el duende del latido de tu corazón.
Magia es probar a volcar lo que hay en el fondo de ti, magia es verte sonreír.
Magia es probar a saltar sin mirar, es caer y volver a empezar.
Es el tiempo, es la hoguera, es la mano que mece la marea,
es la tierra, es la bandera blanca, es la gota de una lluvia de esperanza.
es el mundo de puntillas, es la vida cogiendo carrerilla... (Rosana Arbelo)
