I love using my little (very old) Cybershot for doing extreme macro, using an additional lens I crafted a few years ago. I just took this shot and thought it was pretty good detail about the white area and not smooth at all, lots of dimples.
Hope you don't mind the redness,,, & yes, should have used eye drops! :-)
BIG HELLO from Ottawa, Canada, I see you.

El Bosque o Selva de Irati está repartido entre el norte de Navarra (España) y el país vasco francés entre Sola y Baja Navarra al suroeste de Francia.
Es el segundo bosque de hayas y abetos más grande del continente europeo. Una masa forestal densa y espectacular como pocas en la que no faltan tampoco otros árboles como avellanos, alerces, tilos, tejos, olmos, sauces... en un magnífico paisaje de media montaña pirenaica y con el embalse de Irabia como principal atractivo.
A pesar de estar explotado forestalmente desde los siglos XVI-XVII, el respeto y el buen hacer de los habitantes de estos valles ha hecho que se conserve en total plenitud. Existen dentro de la zona diversos espacios protegidos: todo el Irati es una "ZEPA" (Zona de Especial Protección de Aves), así como zonas protegidas como Reserva Natural o Reserva Integral del total de 17.000 ha del bosque.
Además de la selva, Irati contiene una gran riqueza faunística, donde sobresalen los ciervos, cuyo celo o "berrea" puede disfrutarse en otoño, además de especies en peligro de extinción que encuentran aquí uno de sus últimos reductos, como los pájaros carpinteros, pito negro y pico dorsiblanco, entre otras muchas. Irati contiene además varios endemismos pirenáicos tanto de flora como de fauna, como el tritón pirenáico.
Re-posted on the annual day of this album coming out originally posted in 2010. On the 13 August 2019 Led Zeppelin Instagram showcased the original artwork from the iconic album featured in the 50th Anniversary book 'Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin'. They also include details that I was unaware of like who took the photograph. This post has been very popular with 107,500 views as of 25 February 2021.
What follows is my observation in seeking out the location of this iconic album cover and further design and album details updated.
Whilst in New York this year it was a must that I find the tenement block that featured on my favorite and Led Zeppelin's biggest album Physical Graffiti. When I got back home I set about changing my photographic view to match the cover artwork. On the web it is widely known that the building is 5 stories high, but on the cover the building has only 4 stories. When I started to compare my photograph and the album artwork I soon realised that as well as the 4th floor being removed, artist Peter Corriston also added a number of further elements that include extra tiles, faces and sides of the building. Part of the top right railing balcony was left out for a whole window frame to be visible. See my notes below. I have just amended the Wikipedia listing with these new findings.
Artist Peter Corriston worked with designer Mike Doud to convince Led Zeppelin manager, Peter Grant, that the cover art idea was a good one. Unlikely as it may seem, the concept was itself heavily influenced by the design for Jose Feliciano’s album, Compartments (1973). The new version was created by using a photograph of a New York apartment block, situated at 96-98 St. Marks Place.
Peter Corriston recalls: "We walked around the city for a few weeks looking for the right building. I had come up with a concept for the band based on the tenement, people living there and moving in and out. The original (vinyl) album featured the building with the windows cut out on the cover and various sleeves that could be placed under the cover, filling the windows with the album title, track information or liner notes".
The tenements were shot by New York photographer Elliott Erwitt. The front-cover shot was taken in daylight and the back was taken at night. Sepia prints were made for the outer package and they and the inner bags were then hand-coloured by Maurice Tate - the best hand-retoucher in London at that time. Jimmy Page described the cover as "A peeping tom's delight". The title was coined by Page to convey the amount of physical energy and creative writing that had gone into producing the recordings for the album.
The building is still standing today. In the basement is a second-hand clothes shop. The name of the shop is, naturally, Physical Graffiti.
Although Physical Graffiti was originally designed to be the debut release on the Swan Song label, the album’s elaborate cover art, which features a New York City tenement with interchangeable images visible through the building’s die-cut windows, forced a delay. The release of Bad Company thus took the Swan Song debut honour all the way to the top of the Billboard album chart. Within six months Physical Graffiti also hit that peak, giving Led Zeppelin another number one album, in the week of March 22, 1975. The centrepiece of the album is a song called Kashmir. Despite the fact that Stairway To Heaven is the band’s best-known song, Kashmir is generally considered to be the ultimate Led Zeppelin track.
An eclectic gallery of celebrities and icons inhabit the building and they can be spied through the windows. Amongst the tenants therein are Lee Harvey Oswald, Neil Armstrong, Elizabeth Taylor, King Kong, Charles Atlas, Queen Elizabeth, Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s portrait of Proserpine, the Virgin Mary and Laurel & Hardy. Perhaps I should do a second version with these figures in the windows or with the lettering.
Peter Corriston lives and works in the heart of Greenwich Village.

Non ti auguro un dono qualsiasi,
Ti auguro soltanto quello che i più non hanno.
Ti auguro tempo, per divertirti e per ridere;
se lo impiegherai bene, potrai ricavarne qualcosa.
Ti auguro tempo, per il tuo Fare e il tuo Pensare,
non solo per te stesso, ma anche per donarlo agli altri.
Ti auguro tempo, non per affrettarti e correre,
ma tempo per essere contento.
Ti auguro tempo, non soltanto per trascorrerlo,
ti auguro tempo perché te ne resti:
tempo per stupirti e tempo per fidarti
e non soltanto per guardarlo sull’orologio.
Ti auguro tempo per toccare le stelle
e tempo per crescere, per maturare.
Ti auguro tempo, per sperare nuovamente e per amare.
Non ha più senso rimandare.
Ti auguro tempo per trovare te stesso,
per vivere ogni tuo giorno, ogni tua ora come un dono.
Ti auguro tempo anche per perdonare.
Ti auguro di avere tempo,
tempo per la vita.

My experiments with water droplets continues .. I still have not got the result I wanted. I will be trying out this in another day.. These are the shots I took yesterday.
Las Casas Colgadas, también conocidas como Casas Voladas, Casas del Rey y, erróneamente, Casas Colgantes, es un conjunto de edificios civiles situados en Cuenca (España). En el pasado era frecuente este elemento arquitectónico en el borde este de la ciudad antigua, situado frente a la hoz del río Huécar, aunque hoy sólo
perduran una pequeña parte de ellas. De todas, las más conocidas son un conjunto de tres de estas estructuras con balcones de madera.
Esta serie se la quiero dedicar a Maira por dos cosas, la primera porque siempre dice que conoce la peninsula gracias a mis tomas de mis viajes por España y segundo porque a sido su cumpleaños y al pillarme de viaje no he podido felicitarla, asi que aunque tarde Muchas felicidades Maira. Besos
Un abrazo para todos vosotr@s

Para mi uno de los sitios más emblemáticos, hermosos, bonitos, etc de Bizkaia. El otro día al ir en busca de los frentes que estaban previstos, decidí aprovechar para sacar una foto de esta zona, pero desde otra perspectiva más alta. Al final entrando por aqui y por allá, consegui la altura suficiente como para englobar a Gaztelugatxe y Aketxe con las tormentas de fondo y desde una vista un poco más "aerea".
Gracias a todos por vuestros comentarios y faves.
Saludos.
Pilgrimage church of St. Coloman near Schwangau and the famous royal palaces Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau Castle.
Die barocke Colomanskirche liegt bei Schwangau in Bayern. Sie entstand in ihrer heutigen Form im 17. Jahrhundert auf einem Vorläuferbau, der zu Ehren des heiligen Koloman errichtet wurde. Der irische Pilger soll im Sommer 1012 bei seiner Pilgerreise ins Heilige Land an dieser Stelle gerastet haben. Die Kirche ist wegen ihrer Lage am Fuß der Schwangauer Berge und der Nähe zum weltbekannten Schloss Neuschwanstein eine der bekanntesten Sehenswürdigkeiten Bayerns.
I still have so many pictures from this summer I want to upload but I want to cherry pick the ones i really like.
Ok.. this place was special.. It has not changed much in the last 200 years which is amazing..
Hope you guys are having a great week.. keep shooting!
O ciclamen é umas das plantas envasadas mais comercializadas. Sua folhagem é muito ornamental, verde escura com manchas mais claras. As flores são seu diferencial, de pétalas invertidas, podem se apresentar de diversas cores, entre branco, vermelho, rosa, salmão e combinações diferentes. Apresenta variedades grandes e pequenas e de flores com bordas crespas. Sua beleza delicada confere sofisticação e romantismo aos ambientes internos.

Sunday before last, I popped out for a loaf and came back with a pile of colours and shapes.. what do you call that, a beachscape?
Here's another, I think one of my favourites, I love the pools of gold and the colours caught on the sandscape, is that one a new word?..
..Probably not, but you can see the pipeline from earlier shots to the left and the wind farm to the right all pointed out by golden paths and pools, and that leading path of colour catching sand, along with a few of Anthony Gormleys 100 Ironmen.
I've some more, and will no doubt share at some point shortly, but with my 40th birthday tomorrow!, how old is that!, maybe I'll find something slightly different over the next couple of days to show, if only to give you a break...
Oh if anyone at Canon wants to have early hands on a MKIII 5D, that would make a great present for a 40'th don’t you think?....
...but back to reality, I can look forward to using my new lighting gear which my better half got me, so that should be fun.
Comments, faves and constructive crit., always very welcome, graphics not so much

Unlike the tricky and lengthy noise reduction for www.flickr.com/photos/flatworldsedge/5126748478/ in this case I just maxed Lightroom's noise reduction and dropped the clarity. It's a 226 second exposure (F/22 ¦ ISO 100) from one of the bird hides on Stocker's Lake in Rickmansworth Aquadrome.
There were hundreds of ducks floating about in the foreground, but none made sufficient impression against the bright reflected sky over the long exposure. Hope everyone is having a great week!

The competition brief for this 180m long bridge, one of a series of new pedestrian crossings commissioned for London’s Docklands, was unusual. It called for a bridge with temporary and permanent elements - and the ability to open for shipping. Our design achieved this through two identical spans, one fixed and the other openable, which in its original configuration created an s-shaped crossing between South Quay and Heron Quays. As planned, the northern span has now been removed and the southern half swung into a new orientation spanning the partly infilled dock. The simple elements of the bridge – the curved lines of the oak-clad deck, two raking masts and the shifting arrays of cable stays – create a visual dynamic, accentuating the kinetics of the design and contrasting sharply with the uniform urban grid beyond.

El Canal de Castilla constituye una de las obras de ingeniería civil más importante de las realizadas entre mediados del siglo XVIII y el primer tercio del XIX.
A su paso por la ciudad de Palencia, a la que se acerca mediante un ramalillo terminado en una dársena para facilitar las tareas de carga y descarga.
Desde el punto de vista arquitectónico los centros de interés se encuentran en los extremos del itinerario propuesto. Al inicio nos encontramos con los almacenes de la dársena, edificios de una altura construidos en fábrica de ladrillo siguiendo el modelo de la primera arquitectura industrial desarrollada en España.

Ispiration: The Illusionist - L'illusionista
Dedicated to: my boring sunday morning.... (halloween holyday is so boring...)
Drugs taken: - Nothing...! (is coffe / cigarettes a sort of drug?)
Topic: Due giovani adolescenti s'incontrano nella Vienna di metà Ottocento: Eisenheim (interpretato da Aaron Johnson nella parte da adolescente, poi da Edward Norton in quella da adulto) alle prime armi con trucchi di magia ed illusionismo, s'innamora della bella duchessa Sophie (Jessica Biel), la quale ricambia l'amore del ragazzo, seppur per breve tempo, divisi dalla differente classe sociale.
Quindici anni dopo, durante uno spettacolo, Eisenheim (divenuto un famoso e noto illusionista) ritrova Sophie, ora promessa sposa del principe Leopold (Rufus Sewell). I due, accorgendosi che la loro passione non si è mai spenta, riusciranno finalmente ad amarsi, suscitando le ire del perfido e malvagio principe.
Eisenheim e Sophie sapranno però fare della loro storia d'amore un grande spettacolo di magia, del quale gli spettatori del film si accorgeranno solo al termine, così come l'ispettore Uhl (Paul Giamatti), inizialmente scagnozzo del principe, poi in modo involontario ma compiaciuto complice di Eisenheim.
The water drops are often seen in the morning on the leaves of lady's mantle. The morning dew on this flower in my garden has always fascinated me.
This photo was taken during my holidays and visit of my son in Kiel on the Baltic Sea in the summer. The droplets remind me of the game with glass marbles, which we played as children in the sand.
Die Wassertropfen waren morgens auf den Blättern vom Frauenmantel. Der Morgentau auf dieser Blume hat mich auch in meinem Garten schon immer fasziniert ... dieses Foto habe ich im Sommer beim Besuch meines Sohnes in Kiel an der Ostsee aufgenommen. Die Tropfen erinnern mich an das Spiel mit den Glas Murmeln, welches wir als Kinder im Sand gespielt haben .

Actually I wanted to give him some change, but when he made eye contact with my camera, he ran across the street like there was no tomorrow.
Anyhow, I actually ran into him again today, but this time he was with his mother. Camera was in my bag, so I guess they wern't intimidated. 20THB for each of them.
Again, both are Khmer who probably crossed the border to Thailand for a better future.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Far too many of my friends have had to fight this disease. This post is in honor of them, and all breast cancer patients.
Photo taken in January, 2009 at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Florida.
taken on a trip out to Bailey lighthouse in Howth with Angus Clyne. He is an awesome photographer and it was a joy to get him to ourselves for a few day. Angus spotted this lighthouse from the plane on his was into Dublin and we went on a mission to find it, if it wasn't for the sat nav we would have never found it
check out his amazing picture from the night
The Kunstberg (Dutch, pronounced ([ˈkʏnzdbɛrç]) or Mont des Arts (French, [mɔ̃dɛzaʁ]), meaning "hill/mountain of the arts", is a historic site in the center of Brussels, Belgium.
The showcase square was created for the Universal Exposition held in Brussels in 1910. It featured a park and a monumental staircase with cascading fountains descending the gentle slope from Place Royale down to Boulevard de l'Empereur/Keizerslaan.
The original square was destroyed during the post-war construction frenzy known as Brusselization; between 1954 and 1965, the square and its surroundings gave way to massive, severely geometric postmodern structures such as the Royal Library of Belgium and the Congress Palace.
The Mont des Arts offers one of Brussels’ finest views. From the vantage point on a hill, the famous tower of the Brussels Town Hall at the Grand Place is clearly visible. On a sunny day, the Koekelberg Basilica and even the Atomium can be seen.
Major tourist attractions are located within walking distance from the Kunstberg: the Musical Instrument Museum, the Royal Museums of Fine Arts, the Royal Palace, and the city’s cathedral.

Better known as Mt. Gary...errrrr...I mean Mt. Hood :)
After Traveling through the Gorge all day with Gary , making a quick stop for dinner and a IPA we made a mad dash to Trillium lake for sunset! It was quite the drive through the curvy hills. We probably averaged 80mph the whole way. Gary knew that the one shot I really wanted to get was the 3 rock comp at trillium lake. So after we got a bight to eat... It was on!
The sky and colors were looking great the whole drive to Mt. Gary. When we arrived it was not all that spectacular. Although, the lake was glass and it wasn't bad at all. Just not one of those epic Mt. Gary nights. I do have a few other images from here that I really like where some wispy clouds had moved in. One is a 2 minute exposure after the sun was down. I will post that at another time.
I did a bit of my own toning on this one just to give a touch of Jeff to the image. This is what it really looked like to me ; )

I seem to be having a bit of trouble with Flickr and images coming out too dark. This one seems a little dark and too saturated on here. Look ok on your side?
Thanks to everybody at the Celbridge Camera Club and Tallaght Photo Society in Ireland for there hospitality over the last few days. I really enjoyed my time out there, I hope you enjoyed my talks.
Big thanks to Cat www.flickr.com/photos/catmacbride/ and Scott www.flickr.com/photos/scottmacbride/ for everything. You guys rock !
You too Lola, hi to the kids ;)
I spotted this as a possible shot while flying into Dublin airport. I didn’t realise it was quite so far from town. Thanks again to Scott for driving me out there to get this, especially after cooking such a fantastic dinner.
