"A lot of people think that when you have grand scenery, such as you have in Yosemite, that photography must be easy."
-- Galen Rowell
An über-classic shot this time, I admit... But one that will never fade in beauty or fail to impress!
Having spent 6 weeks plodding around in the big cities of the East, North (Chicago by Lake Michigan) and West Coasts of the US, Yosemite was our first jump right back into nature.
The contrast could not have been bigger...
No tall skyscrapers rising from street level, but real rocks towering above the valley floor. No woods of people and cars in all corners, but real forests of pines covering the space between the protagonists of this scene.
And all of this snugly hidden in a valley, unwrapped in the blink of an eye as you break away from the dark confines of the Wawona Tunnel.
In this view from the Wawona Tunnel Overlook, you can see (left to right): the bulky granite mass of 3,000ft high El Capitan, the glacier-sliced Half Dome all the way in the back and the delicate waters of the Bridal Veil Falls.

The Story
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Be forewarned that if you recognize me on a beach such as Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur, I will think of you as part of nature and work you in somehow! I met Jared hiding behind the forest of about a dozen tripods. While most of them were taking the same shot, Jared was up there taking the blows for the sake of landscape photography. He had an umbrella that he used as a shield and it did a good job but as you can see in the big version, it did not protect his entire body. But the camera is most important, right?
This is what the edge of nature photography is all about. (Well almost.) Pushing the limits. Risking your equipment on slippery rocks while trying to stay out of the shots of the rest of those that had gathered in this place to see this spectacle. Sure, not everyone is in perfect shape to attempt these feats, but it is good to step out of your comfort zone to see what you can discover regardless of age or disability!
Here is one of the photos that Jared captured at the portal. I think it was taken slightly to the left of where he is in this photo, but you get the idea. Have a look!

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.

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was a Poet, Philosopher, Musician, Writer, Educator, and the first Indian Nobel Laureate for Literature (1913). Tagore has been labelled the "King of Poets" for his beautiful and exquisite poetry. In particular Tagore had a deep love and reverence for nature which he was able to express through lyrical poetry.
Tagore was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1913 for his book Gitanjali. W.B.Yeats in particular was deeply impressed with this work and wrote an introduction. With this honour Tagore became famous in both India and the West. In 1915 Tagore was knighted by King George, however Tagore was to return his knighthood in protest of the Amritsar massacre (1919)
As a writer, Tagore primarily worked in Bengali, but after his success with Gitanjali, he translated many of his other works into English..
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!

Con esta toma doy por concluida la serie de Los Urros.
No me convence demasiado por su composicion, el exceso de peso en el lado derecho y el apelotonamiento de elementos desequilibra la imagen. Los tonos y el procesado sí son de mi agrado.

On this photograph the Comments were deactivated......this was to see how a brighter copy looks here but with the bad connection , there were glitches and it showed up as public instead of private.
This is a brighter version of the photograph posted earlier. Printing the image shows up the pictures to be dark and the sheer power and dynamism that a back lit screen that shows high contrasts even in the darker areas tends to deceive the eyes.
So to get a new print done, this photo has been brightened a tad in the paint brush area and a bit of the face.

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.
quick before + after on my blog.

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.
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.

ALCAZAR DE SEGOVIA.
El alcázar es de cuatro diferentes estilos: románico, gótico, mudéjar, renacentista. Incluye un patio, una fosa, el puente levadizo y en su interior una capilla y varias salas nobles que pueden ser visitadas por el público. Algunas de las salas contienen los retratos de todos los Reyes de España.
El alcázar ha inspirado los dibujos de varios castillos de Disney.
Se encuentra encima de una roca con forma de proa de un barco dominando los ríos Eresma y Clamores. Fue una inexpugnabile fortaleza durante siglos, por eso era la clava de la denominación de Castilla. Isabel la Católica salió del alcázar para ser proclamada reina en la Plaza Mayor de Segovia.

Welcome to Alyki lagoon series.
Happy new year!
This part of series is shot in the aquatic settlement of Alyki which
is situated on the eastern part of Samos island close to the Asia Minor coastline.
In Alyki, the inhabitants of Samos used to get the best salt production in Greece.
That stopped happening in the year of 1965.
Today, the settlement of Alyki is of great ecological significance,
part of the program «Natura 2000», as well as the «Special Protection Areas-SPA» program.
Here, the visitor can see various species of animals,
such as hedgehogs, ferrets, river-turtles, lizards etc.
Additionally, there have been recorded more than 127 bird species,like Flamingos e.t.c.
So if you are a nature lover, do not miss visiting the area of unique beauty.
Lens:Nikkor 55-200mm

Thank you all for your comments & faves.
Yeah, things didn't always go very smoothly during the project last year. In situations like this one, if I could get just one frame with Suki giving me a good "look," I'd consider myself fortunate!
I'm pretty surprised at all the entries for my Print Giveaway so far! You Suki fans are awesome!

For Cliché Saturday's Scavenger Hunt – [17] Amusement Park or Rides
Chicago – Saturday in the Park
Take a spin on a thrill ride; the Wave Swinger, an old fashion swing!
"Guests have the opportunity to swing around Pier Park on the thrill ride 'Wave Swinger'. The ride towers nearly forty feet over a pond of water. This exhilarating forty-eight seat swing ride lifts visitors fourteen feet in the air, and whisks them around for a thrill that shows guests a view of the lakeside never before seen."
I think I have a few good old fashioned clichés in here!!
Happy Cliché Saturday!!

J'offre cette photo à mes amis picards...et je les sais nombreux.
Et aussi à une amie qui vient du froid...et elle le sait pourquoi
Si parfois ses plages manquent de soleil
Si parfois encore son azur manque d'éclat
...personne ne peut contester la beauté de ses oiseaux en liberté...
même si son sable trop fin a tendance à coller aux yeux
et le froid pénétrant de ses vents de s'engouffrer sous les cirés molletonnés
~Mai~
Ben non, cette photo ne date pas d'aujourd'hui, vous vous doutez bien !...
J'aime Fort Mahon Plage qui a vu les premières brasses de mon picard de mari.
Si vous vous sentez le cœur picard ou si vous êtes picard vous-même, ajoutez vous à la liste...

If you followed my stream you will recognize this scene from another shot I uploaded a few weeks ago. Usually I don't shoot any scene twice but this time I thought it would be interesting to capture the photo with some evening mood.
