The Story

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Even though Pfeiffer beach is a winding and vertically oriented 45 minute drive south of Monterey in Central California, there were about 20 photographers out here trying to capture this famous place during the Dec.-Jan. window when the sun streams through the opening at the best angle. So it is difficult to come up with an original view. But I noticed how all the other photographers had their tripods set up in more or less the same place. So I looked around for a different perspective. And after a bit of browsing on Flickr, I have yet to see a shot that intentionally uses a reflection on the glossy sand of low-tide. I'm sure there is something like this somewhere though. There are just too many people shooting this place. So I had to add something extra that may not be original but at least have it be as good as I can capture it.

 

The light is especially good when it is sunny but with a bit of mist from the huge waves behind the rock wafting through the hole. On this evening, the slight breeze alternated between onshore and offshore. When it would blow offshore, the mist woould get sucked through the hole and the light-beam effect would disappear. Also, big waves help add drama, especially at low tide when the water barely comes through. At high tide, it is like a water canon and those rocks are slippery so watch out!

 

Every once in a while during this extra low tide sunset, it would almost appear as though the light were striking the water, sending spray away from the impact point. So I waited for that moment. I chose to step back far behind the other photographers, to include some reflected light off the sand at low tide to add that extra element of interest.

 

I met some nice people on the two evenings I came here. It was clear so this is the best place to go when there is no drama in the sky. On both evenings, I was recognized by different people. It seems like this happens a lot lately, though I am hardly the celebrity type. Still, it is fun to talk photography and everything!

 

I have more unusual things from here that I'll show later. This is a great place to experiment.

La gente considera l'acqua del lago Pushkar come molto sacra ed il rituale di presa dei tuffi nell'acqua santa è creduto di concedere la salvezza. Il tuffo santo è più promettente su Kartik Poornima. Anche prima dell'alba, la gente discende i ghats, aiutati “dai panda (sacerdoti del Brahmin) per prendere il bagno sacro. Le offerte della noce di cocco, dei fiori e dei contanti sono fatte al lago ed ai sacerdoti.

The Story

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I have a bit of a backlog of photos made during the past two months so here is one from December 30th in Oceanside, California just north of San Diego.

 

It had been clear all day and by noon, things were looking grim for any sort of a dramatic sunset. I was watching the satellite movies during the day and this very same band of clouds had set in over the ocean but too far out to be very interesting. Most of the time the weather and winds come from the west off of the ocean. But about 3 hours before sunset, the band evaporated and reformed almost overhead. Then I started to worry whether it would stick around for sunset. Of course there is always something to worry about, right?

 

Fortunately, the cloud bank held up all the way to sunset and I saw this amazing scene just as I had hoped. It extended to the north and south for at least 50 miles in each direction. The cloud was moving quickly but it was evaporating on the backside and forming in the front side, so overall it remained in place for hours. It was still there at 10 at night!

 

Needless to say, it is really important to study the clouds to know whether it is worth your effort to drive 40 miles as I did to capture this scene. I watched the cloud and realized that it would hold in place despite how it seemed to move so quickly.

 

Also, I just learned that I will have a photo in the 2012 Nature Conservancy Calendar. That makes three years in a row. Voting is going on to see which one will be the cover photo, but at least I know I'm in there!

Flooded floodplains along the river IJssel (Rhine delta) in the Netherlands

Last month (December 2010 and early January 2011) it snowed and rained a lot in the basin of the river Rhine (Switzerland, Germany, France and the Netherlands). The meltwater and rainwater has given flooding in the Rhine delta. Every few years there have been floods in the floodplain of the river IJssel. The IJssel, also called Gelderse IJssel, is the northern branch of the Rhine delta in the Dutch provinces of Gelderland and Overijssel.

 

Overstroomde uiterwaarden langs de IJssel bij Leuvenheim tussen Brummen en Spankeren

De afgelopen maand (december 2010 en begin januari 2011) heeft het eerst veel gesneeuwd en daarna geregend in het stroomgebied van de Rijn (Zwitserland, Duitsland, Frankrijk en Nederland).

Het smeltwater en het regenwater hebben flinke overstromingen gegeven in de Rijndelta. Ook bij de Gelderse IJssel, de meest noordelijke tak van de Rijndelta van Arnhem in Gelderland tot Kampen in Overijssel.

I'm not the pano kinda guy - why would I with my 12mm on FX? ;-)

But I have to admit my Sigma 12-24 is nowhere near as sharp as my Nikon 50mm f/1.4, I *love* that lens with a passion. It's perfect for night shots and here I decided to connect two horizontal shots instead of going for ultra wide to *get it all in*. It was a beautiful night too. Hope you like it!

 

[NL]

Ik ben niet van de pano's eerlijk gezegd, en waarom zou ik ook met mijn ultra groothoek lenzen - de Sigma 12-24mm is de wijdste groothoek beschikbaar op aarde (full frame, geen fish-eye) en mijn Nikon 24mm f/2.8 is ook top (24mm op FX is 16mm op DX, dus behoorlijk wijd).

 

Maar ik ben zo dol op mijn Nikon 50mm f/1.4 - dat ding is zo walgelijk scherp en perfect voor avondfotografie. Bij wijze van uitzondering dus maar eens twee horizontale 50mm shots gekoppeld om toch alles te kunnen *vangen*. Het was een prachtige avond gisteren!

Geschoten vanaf de Brielselaan, toch weer 's wat anders - wel opletten geblazen daar overigens, veel vaag volk. Groet!

The beautiful town of Ermoupolis is the capital of Syros as well as of the entire Cyclades. It is a commercially and culturally developed sea settlement of a great architectural beauty, a great reminder of the brilliant past of the city. This town was founded by the refugees and Greek revolutionaries who came from various parts of Greece, such as Chios, Psara, Kassos, Crete, Asia Minor, to the French-protected Syros to escape the massacres organized by the Turks during the Greek Independence and after the Revolution of 1821.

 

Houses are built very closely, one on the top of the other, surrounded by rocky slopes which were a protective fortress of great efficacy against the pirates and all the other enemies who threatened the island during 1200 AD, when the settlement of Ano Syros was built. To build this marvellous town, many European architects came from various countries like Germany, Italy and Greece, and joined their talents in a glorification of artistic and architectural beauty.

ive been going through a bit of an artistic crisis. lately ive felt like im trying to be something im not.. i dunno if its true or not, but thats how i feel right now. and i just want to be me.

 

however, my day was thoroughly brightened when i received a package in the mail. a very kind gentleman sent me a remote (yay! taking this picture was a piece of cake compared to normal) and a lens extender, addressed to "karrah kobus awesome photographer."

 

oh, and i want to explain this a little bit too, cause i feel like spine and butterfly pictures are everywhere, but this actually means something to me. and maybe i could have been a little bit more abstract in portraying this, but ive been sick for like a week and thats going to be my excuse, ha.

 

but when it comes to going back to being "me," the first thing i thought of is one of the experiences that makes me most unique, and that is the back surgery that i went through. i decided to make an image focusing on the spine... i altered it to appear abnormal and perhaps a bit ugly. i wanted the butterfly to symbolize an extension of the opposite. something soft and beautiful. i have a big scar on my back, but im pretty comfortable with it. so i just wanted to remember to not only accept myself, flaws and all, but embrace everything i have that is uniquely me.

 

i was also feeling inspired by my past as a dancer (nostalgia partially brought on by recently seeing black swan, which is super good). i miss the bright stage lights.

 

p.s. my goal is to get over half way by the day my 365 is supposed to be over.. yea, pretty pathetic haha. but im still only counting selfies.

Un ocaso que pille en mi viaje a la Sierra de Cazorla, un lugar del que no he podido disfrutar todo lo que me hubiese gustado y que he de volver.

Os recomiendo visitarlo

Espero sea de vuesttr@ agrado

 

 

One of my first SLR shots, taken in NYC a decade ago. The visit was a 21st Birthday celebration, alongside the gift of the camera itself. This is another scan of an original film image, EXIF data added, but no edits to the noise, scratches, etc. The trip was my compelling first connection to NYC; a city I got to return to a lot whilst studying more recently upstate. It was marked by the drifting mist and cloud in evidence in this view, which, neither undermined my engagement with the city itself nor, especially looking at this image in the years since 911, detracts from the impression it creates.

 

I would suggest viewing on black, despite the grain.

 

[From here on, I'm afraid things become a little reflective and over-wrought. It's not intended to offend, and no offence would be taken if you choose to skip it entirely.]

 

Having worked and studied overseas and in upstate NY, I've obviously made friends with a lot of people with far more intimate and emotional connections to 911 than I have myself. Not wanting to intrude upon or distract those far more powerful accounts, I still thought I might briefly commit some of my rememberings to this posting by way of commemoration and perspective.

 

On the day itself, we were living in Chipas, Mexico. In terms of timezones, this meant as we awoke the first tower was already on the news. Events unfolded as an American friend and I prepared for a morning volunteering (as English teachers) at the local orphanage. We had to leave for our teaching during the collapse. At the orphanage the kids would ask questions to get to know us, natural to them given their context, but strange to us, like; "Do you have a father/mother?" My friend's father was flying that morning, and he had been unable to contact him before we left, which gave a surreal, uneasy, yet somewhat epiphanic, edge to the morning.

 

Meanwhile, the close friend of another teacher in our group, was working in an upper level of the second tower. She had been unable to contact her. Understandably perhaps, to avoid panic and potential injury, after the first impact, she later found out that those working in the second had been told to remain at their desks. Her friend left her desk regardless, and, though she was still inside the tower when the second aircraft hit, she was now below the impact zone and thereby survived.

 

In terms of commemoration, I'd like to suggest, timidly, that one of the greatest tragedies of the day is not the tragedy of opposition - the battle between A vs B, whatever you label A or B, whichever side you take. Given subsequent conflict, right or wrong, that is how this event is often framed by the media. Rather I see it as a tragedy of those who have a side, and those who don't even know there was a battle. However the perpetrators are cast - be in political, religious, non-US extremist or US conspirator - clearly their paradigm was built on an underlying assumption of a conflict, which the victims were unaware of. If we disagree and together decide to fight one another, that is one thing. If we disagree, and I accept or am unaware of our differing thoughts, and yet you strike me down regardless, that is another, to my mind, greater tragedy.

 

I do hope these notes don't trivialise the event or offend anyone. It's just a record of a couple of stories and the musings that flowed from them. It's not meant as anything more. One thing my scanning of these old film prints has reminded me of is the power of a photograph to commemorate meaning over time. Flickr is chiefly a celebration of the present; of the frenetic energy of now and today. Perhaps one aspect of photography it overlooks is the longer term view. It's the difference between seeing the noise of everything, and stripping that noise away to leave the transcendent moment alone. Both interesting angles, but the latter inevitably absent from this medium, perhaps.

 

So that's probably quite enough introspection and philosophical declamation for the next few months. I hope you're all very well and have survived my ramble if you were generous enough to follow it. Have a superb week all.

Day 159 - watering can

 

After a couple of weeks with enormous amounts of snow it finally got a bit warmer the last couple of days and it started raining. Don't get me wrong, I love snow, but those amounts were just too much.

Welcome to my first upload in 2011. I hopy the new year started well for everyone of you.

 

Concerning the photo: On our Lake District tour we were heading to Tarn Hows in the morning and came across some beautiful misty landscapes where I took this photograph. These scenes with heavy morning sun and aditional fog are really hard to capture (imo). The OOC picture looks like crap and it took me hours (seriously) to process it to what it's now. And I'm still not happy with it... anyway I'm going to show it...

Better to see it in large so press "L" =)

 

PS: my last upload is my new buddy icon... yay!

Lucknow, India. I still have a bunch of photos to upload from this trip.

 

Chhota Imambara was built by Muhammad Ali Shah, the third Nawab of Avadhbuilt, in 1837-1840, so it is not that old. Don't doubt for a minute that I forgot all the names here other than Chhota Imambara by the time I was out of this gate, so I should thank Wikipedia. The main building also serves as a mausoleum to both Nawab Muhammad Ali Shah and his mother.
