“If indeed you must be candid, be candid beautifully.” - Kahlil Gibran
Last week, I received my "big stopper" and I was itching to get out and use it; so, I headed out to the coast and eventually landed in Pacifica, CA. This city is usually blanketed by fog so I was really crossing my fingers for some nice clouds. As I arrived it started to sprinkle, so I pulled out my golf umbrella and shot away. The rain continued so I had no choice but to shoot the pier from this location. The rain eventually gave up and I shot other comps, but to be honest I liked this one the best. Long exposures (B&W) are not as easy as you think and takes lots of patience. By the way, the "big stopper" is a must in every landscape photographer's bag. It's so much easier then the round screw on type.
Here in the bay area, we are lucky to be schooled by local black & white master, Steve. Click here for some serious black & white inspiration.
Hope you all have a great holiday weekend and may you and your camera find some beautiful light. As always, thanks for your support and visits. Jave

Campos encarnados llenos de amapolas moviéndose al compás del viento, sintiéndose libres como el signo de Sagitario.
Las flechas del arquero se sentirán cautivadas por el embrujo que se desprende de la fragilidad de esta cautivadora y pasional flor roja.
Morfeo, dios del sueño, era representado llevando esta flor. De aquí que la amapola sea símbolo del sueño.
Quizá por su parentesco con la adormidera, los sueños en que aparecen las amapolas suelen presagiar un pronto consuelo del dolor, tanto del cuerpo como del alma.
Su nombre también está muy ligado en la mitología a Deméter y Perséfone, hija de Zeus.
Un día Perséfone estaba en un campo recogiendo amapolas, de repente se abrió la tierra ante sus pies y apareció Hades, dios del mundo subterráneo, y la llevó consigo para hacerla su mujer por la fuerza. Su madre Deméter salió en su busca y prohibió a la tierra producir ningún fruto hasta no encontrarla.
Zeus, al ver lo que estaba ocurriendo, ordenó que Perséfone pasara seis meses con Hades y otros seis con su madre.
A partir de entonces, la tierra duerme durante la ausencia de Perséfone, y se despierta con la llegada de la primavera al regresar con su madre.

Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world few hearts survive?
All I know is the way I feel.
When it's real, I keep it alive.
The road is long, there are mountains in our way,
But we climb a step every day.
Love lifts us up where we belong,
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high.
Love lifts us up where we belong,
Far from the world below,
Up where the clear winds blow.
Some hang on to "used to be,"
Live their lives looking behind.
All we have is here and now,
All our life, out there to find.
The road is long, there are mountains in our way,
But we climb a step every day
Love lifts us up where we belong,
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high.
Love lift us up where we belong,
Far from the world we know,
Where the clear winds blow.
Time goes by, no time to cry,
Life's you and I. A life today.

Stormy skies and late afternoon light at Elgol, Skye. The sun appeared from behind a cloud to the south-west, briefly lighting up the rocky foreshore as a wave from the incoming tide rushed in.
The prominent peak left-of-centre is Sgùrr na Strì. Right of centre is Marsco, while on the far right, the top of the south-west ridge of Blà Bheinn can just be seen behind the headland.

It would be nice to write about your young life once you reach a certain age;
Of how that arm seemed so strong that it could carry a sick man upon your shoulders;
Of how your smile melted a young woman’s heart;
Of how your idealism and pursuit of that golden dream were achieved;
The sacredness of love-making;
The loyalty of friendship;
The importance of family, especially your parents.
Of how all the experiences you have had shaped you into the person you are now.

Montepulciano, Tuscany, Italy.
When I leaned out from that terrace, I was almost sure I could have touched that incredible sky. And, actually, I think I really did it. In that precise moment, I was just one of those runaway clouds.
PS: The so-blue sky and white clouds come from the polarizer !
Montepulciano, Toscana, Italia.
Quando mi sono sporto da quella terrazza, ho avuto la certezza che avrei praticamente potuto toccare quel cielo incredibile. E, in realtà, penso di esserci riuscito. In quel momento esatto, ero solo una di quelle nuvole che correvano via.
PS: Il cielo così blu e le nuvole bianchissime provengono dal polarizzatore

Space shuttle Atlantis lifted off successfully from Kennedy Space Center this afternoon. This will likely be its final mission, and what a way to go! Perfect weather, beautiful blue sky, and relatively few snags during countdown. We drove down to Titusville for my first close viewing of a day launch.
Space View Park was packed when we arrived about 3.5 hours before liftoff, and the view from any available spots was obstructed by trees. We found room at the end of the adjacent tidal bay with a straight view to the launch pad. It looked like there was a bit of dry land a few feet down at the base of the wall along Indian River Avenue, and we figured I could walk a bit north to ensure that the covered dock didn't block my view of Launch Pad 39A. That didn't work out so well... and the process of discovering this served as entertainment for the crowd and left me with smelly mucky feet! Fortunately, some generous onlookers allowed me join them them on the wall in the coveted area. I sat next to a man and his son who came all the way from London, England to see Atlantis leave Earth for the last time. At least a hundred spectators waded out onto a sandbar in the water to get a similar view.
Needless to say, the launch was incredible!!! : )

Praia de Bombas fica na cidade de Bombinhas SC
É uma praia de águas calmas ótima para os banhistas.
O mar da praia de Bombas é muito limpo, com ondas leves, ótima para banho, surf, mergulho e pesca.
O mergulho é feito no costão direito e a pesca no costão esquerdo.
Uma opção fascinante são as caminhadas pelas trilhas do costão esquerdo, pelo Parque da Galheta até a Ponta de Bombas.
No canto esquerdo tem morro com Mata Atlântica, mar aberto.

A Bhikkhuni is a fully ordained female Buddhist monastic. Male monastics are called Bhikkhus. Buddhism is unique in that Buddha, as founder of a spiritual tradition, explicitly states in canonical literature that a woman is as capable of nirvana enlightenment as a man, and can fully attain all four stages of enlightenment. Yes, the thing that strikes many visitors to Laos, besides the beauty and solitude of the place, is the incredible number of Buddhist monks walking around. Bhikkhus are dressed in those trademark saffron robes and Bhikkhunis dressed in white, you'll easily spot them walking in pairs, usually with an umbrella in hand to ward off either sunrays or raindrops. In the early morning hours, when they make their daily alms rounds through town, it seems as if a wave of orange is flowing down the streets.
Meditation is for the Bhikkhunis the road to enlightenment. Their lifestyle is shaped so as to support their spiritual practice, to live a simple and meditative life. Photo taken at a temple at village Kieng Than Lei. We had a friendly chat with the local people and monks. This elderly Bhikkhuni reached the age of "cow-sib" which means she's 90 years old. She still helps at the temple. Bhikkhunis are very friendly and approachable. We donated some money to this Buddhist community. Most people donate food to the monks to gain merit and improve their karma. The temples of Laos were once seen as "Universities" for monks. Lao monks are highly respected and revered in Lao communities. Many of the novice monks come from poor villages throughout Laos and live and study.
Een bhikkhuni is een non in het boeddhisme. Het dagelijks leven en veel van de regels voor bhikkhuni's komen sterk overeen met die van bhikkhu's de boeddhistische monniken. Voor bhikkhuni's is er echter een striktere discipline. Een van de redenen hiervoor is dat in de tijd van de Boeddha vrouwen onder bescherming stonden van mannen. De Orde van Bhikkhuni's is daarom ook ondergeschikt aan de Orde van Bhikkhu's, die een begeleidende en overziende rol speelt in de Orde van de Bhikkhuni's. Een groot deel van de Laostiaase bevolking, zo’n 60% is boeddhist. Men hangt het zogenaamde Teravada-boeddhisme. In het Theravada wordt meditatie benadrukt als een essentieel onderdeel van het pad naar verlichting, samen met moreel gedrag en wijsheid. Het brengen van een einde aan het lijden is het hoofddoel van het Theravada boeddhisme. De Boeddha legde verder een zeer gedetailleerde gedragscode voor de Monniken neer: de Vinaya. Over het algemeen worden monniken door de Boeddha aangemoedigd om wereldse aangelegenheden en passies achter zich te laten, zodat zij gemakkelijker in staat zijn een staat van vrede en wijsheid te bereiken, en sterke ongezonde emoties zoals haat, verlangen en lust te overwinnen. De monniken altijd kaalgeschoren met sandalen aan de voeten zijn niet meer weg te denken uit het straatbeeld van Laos. De monniken in oranje gewaden en bhikkhuni's altijd in het wit zoals deze oude non van negentig jaar oud. Ze help nog steeds in de tempel van het Kieng Than Lei dorp vlakbij de Tad Lo waterval.

I walked into the bedroom right about time to go to sleep to discover all five kittens sleeping in a row. As soon as I got out the camera, the two on the right started wrestling. The other three slept right through the photo session.

Tomada en Cala Flores (Cabo Palos) - Murcia.
Vereis, el pasado viernes cambié mi viejo monitor HP de 19" por un NEC P221W de 22" que llega a cubrir hasta un 96% del Adobe RGB, también le he instalado el software que distribuye NEC denominado SpectraView II en su versión 1.1.03 que actualiza entre otras cosas el panel LUTs de 8 a 10, y al que he calibrado hoy con un Eye-One Display 2. Es tan brutal el cambio en el color de un monitor a otro que no sé realmente lo que vosotros veis y necesito saberlo.
Ya se que esto será muy subjetivo porque cada uno tendreis un monitor diferente calibrado o no.
Mi viejo monitor HP de 19" también está calibrado pero hay mucha diferencia de uno a otro en los matices de color.
Según el histograma que me aporta CS3 no hay luces reventadas ni sombras empastadas. Cómo lo veis vosotros?
Gracias de antemano.
Por mi parte le aprecio un halo en la parte superior de la roca que choca con el cielo, pero eso no es novedad ya que lo provoca el algoritmo de reducción que aplica Flickr a todas aquellas imágenes que son mayores de 500px en su lado mayor como es el caso.
I need to know your real opinion about this shot because the last Friday I haved changed my old monitor HP 19" for a NEC P221W that covers until a 96% of Adobe RGB. The histogram is ok in CS3, but the color is very different in HP 19" or NEC P221W.
Thanks for your opinion.

Pura Batu Bolong -Tanah Lot, Bali, Indonesia
Pura Batu Bolong is a small shrine located just a stone's throw from the famous Tanah Lot temple. It is perched at the end of a rocky promontory that leaps seaward into the surging Indian Ocean. Visitors to Pura Batu Bolong tends to lump it with Tanah Lot, hence its name is not as familiar.

This is a beautiful place to watch the sunrise, it comes up behind you looking at Death Valley. We got up early two mornings and went there. Fortunately it's only a 5-10 minute drive from where we were staying at the Furnace Creek Ranch. It's very popular, though, I talked with a photographer from Chicago on my left and one from Toronto on my right.
Take a seashell , take a bit of happiness …. beach with the view of Alaska , on the horizon - couple with the dog … sound of the waves , light breeze and bucket full of colors … this is my beach . Quiet , no smell of sunscreen , cheap food and beer … no vendors with trinkets made half a world away … this is my beach.
Where I grew up ( south-western Poland ) it was far away from the sea and I only seen Baltic few times. After Greece and now half of my life in Vancouver , I can't imagine living away from the see. Ocean has something , it could be that defiant line of different dimension that is not easy to cross .
See where this picture was taken, west of Masset , Queen Charlotte Islands / Haida Gwaii , BC , Canada [?]
A little more than a year ago I was upload a single tree on a field. I used the same tones like here to compensate the poor light and overcast sky. I also used a 16:7 format the first time.
Even though the field is a completely different one, there are parallels to that one shot. I was driving to my grandmother's when I passed this hill and those cars on top of them. I don't know what they were up to, cause I couldn't see the other side of the hill. Was it just like a sunday morning hill party or an occult?
