#128/365 Post Process Fridays episode #15. This wonderful shot was taken by Ang, who was there to capture the return home of Mary Kim's husband who was on on deployment. I know it's been about a month, but welcome home Steve! Semper Fi! TGIF! HPPF! OPP! YEAH! YOU! KNOW! ME!
Laos is the most laid back country I have been to. You cannot take it at your pace. You have to go with the flow - meander around the town on foot, take a boat down the Mekong, get up early in the morning to watch the monks receive alms. This is as close to the romantic Indochina you can get.
The Mekong is born 4000km from the sea, on the Tibetan plateau. More of the river courses through Laos than any other SE Asian country - the entire country parallels its course. It runs through most of the major cities and is a key source of livelihood (direct or indirect) for the country.

A couple of yellow tulips stand together, with another patch of red tulips just off in the background. Photo taken in my neighbor's back yard this past weekend.
Like I said, I'm not good at taking flower photos. Nor, am I too sure about the cross processing I added here. But....in the spirit of Bokeh Wednesday, I decided to share this photo anyway.

Thank you very much to Everyone and to Aku for saving me the Screen shot.
#124/365 We try to go out to eat as a family once every several weeks and when I do I try to get a shot of where we go. So here is one more to add to my resturants set. This is actually the second shot from this place. I'll have to make it a point to go somewhere else next time. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

La Brière, ou Grande Brière est drainée par le dernier affluent de la Loire : le Brivet, qui se jette dans l'estuaire à la limite des communes de Saint Nazaire et Montoir de Bretagne.
Son territoire s'étend sur 490 km², dont 170 km² de zones humides, au cœur desquelles le marais de Grande Brière Mottière couvre à lui seul 70 km², qui compte 21 communes.
Les chalands et les chaumières : les deux particularités de la Brière
La chaumière est la maison en toit de chaume traditionnelle dans cette zone de marécage. A une époque où cette zone était transformée en ile à chaque saison hivernale, le chaume était la seule ressource disponible pour couvrir les toits des habitations.
Le Parc de Brière, soucieux de préserver ce précieux patrimoine collectif, poursuit son action : il met gratuitement à disposition son service de conseil architectural et alloue des aides régionales pour les constructions et rénovations de chaumières.
Les sites remarquables pour découvrir les chaumières :le village de Kerhinet à Saint Lyphard, entièrement restauré par le Parc naturel régional de Brière au début des années 70, le village de Kerbourg à Saint-Lyphard, Mayun à la Chapelle-des-Marais, l'île de Fédrun à Saint-Joachim, etc…
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
La Brière, or Grande Brière is drained by the last tributary of the Loire: the Brivet, which flows into the estuary to the border between the towns of St. Nazaire and Montoir de Bretagne.
Its territory covers 490 km ², of which 170 km ² of wetlands in the heart of which the Grande Brière marsh Mottière alone covers 70 square kilometers, which has 21 municipalities.
Barges and cottages: two peculiarities of the Brière
The cottage is home to traditional roofs in that area of swamp. At a time when this area was transformed into island each winter, the stubble was the only resource available to cover the roofs of houses.
Brière Park, anxious to preserve this precious heritage, continues its work: it is free to offer its consulting services and architectural allocates regional aid for construction and renovations of cottages.
The places to discover the cottages: the village of Saint Kerhinet Lyphard, fully restored by the Parc Naturel Régional de Brière in the early 70s, the village of Saint-Kerbourg Lyphard, Mayun at the Chapelle des Marais, l Island Fédrun in St. Joachim, etc ...

I was lucky enough to get to shoot this bird crazy close, View Large on Black to see the resulting crazy detail on this tiny bird.
I think Juncos are just the cutest birds, don't you agree?
HBW All! ;-)))
Edit: the one with a blurry branch in the bokeh on the left has been voted off the island and replaced with the crop you see here. After three of you said something and knowing many more remained silent but felt the same, that was good enough for me. Thanks for the honest input all, I truly appreciate it!

Tanah Lot Temple, Bali, Indonesia
Pura Tanah Lot (Tanah Lot Temple) is Hindu Temple.
Located about 20 km from Denpasar, the temple sits on a huge offshore rock which has been shaped continuously over the years by the ocean tide.
Tanah Lot means "Land in the Middle of the Sea" (in Balinese language) is a famous rock formation off the Indonesian island of Bali.
Note: It is a fantastic place to view beautiful dramatic sunsets. Every day at dusk, tourists throng the area to witness the magnificent silhouette of the temple against the glowing horizon.

Three photos at this post, Flickr friends! Scroll down for the other two.....
I couldn't believe my eyes when I emerged from the dimly lit interior of Notre Dame --- after enjoying the soprano singing vespers --- and walked into the soft rain showers of the evening. What a wonderful surprise to be greeted by this illuminated sky full of rich color! The shining pavement reflecting a glorious sunset shone against the dark buildings, and people with their umbrellas were in silhouette, framed by the illuminated lamposts. Paris between day and night! It was one of those moments when you just grab your camera and do your best to capture the magic! .
Lorsque je sortais - apres vepres - des tenebres de Notre Dame, je me suis trouvee devant ce tableau presque invraisemblable. Il avait plu, et le coucher du soleil rayonnait une lumiere rosatre et doree parmi les nuages qui dansaient. Quelle belle surprise inattendue!
Flock of sheep (about 300 animals). They are on to the night pasture. They had been grazing in the Immerloopark (park, lake and morass) in Arnhem, the Netherlands.
Schaapskudde in het Immerloopark in Arnhem
Het gras in een van de grotere Arnhemse stadsparken "Het Immerloopark" (park, meertje, moeras) wordt dagelijks op een natuurlijke wijze kort gehouden door een kudde van circa 300 Australische schapen.
Onder leiding van een schaapsherder is de kudde hier onderweg naar de nachtwei.
Twee Border Collies, waarvan er één uiterterst links zichtbaar is, houden de schapen bij elkaar.

Trying to make variations on the same theme. I'm not bored with it yet. After the silhouette portraits I want to catch them in action. It's quite a hassle, my camera needs to think for ages it seems before the click. But I have new chances every day. And it isn't even august with the truly great sunsets. I also want to do sunrises with the low hanging fog, that could result in some interesting shots..

About the photo:
Don't you wish we could all sit in a pasture of wild flowers, playing with a cute puppy and enjoying a view of the Carpathian mountains? Well, that would be nice :-)
I was going to save this photo for May Day, since it was originally taken on 1 May 2006. However, I was scrounging for something to post today and this is what struck my eye.
About the process:
This photo was taken with a very old digital camera. The quality isn't stellar and in the original, the mountains are hardly visible. I ran this through Photomatix as a single exposure HDR and then added high-contrast overlays to bring out the form of the mountains. The HDR processing produced very acrid colors, so I overlaid a desaturated version of the image to tone down the saturation. Finally, I used a liberal high-pass filter to clarify the image.
I am a bit dissatisfied with the halo along the treeline, but it is much better than the original--trust me, lol. And, the halo helps sharpen the printing, so I decided to just leave it.

I dedicate this image to my father, who has been the light of my professional life.
Who can give the sun, the permission to shine. Not even the darkest of clouds can hide the brilliance radiating out of the heart of our Solar System. Such is its power.
In the same way, who can hide the brilliance of the light in our heart. No matter how strongly the mind and its patterns cloud it, the brilliant jewel will continue to shine. So connect with the wind, and blow away the clouds. Let the sun in your heart shine through.
Photographed with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, and Canon EF 24-105mm IS USM L Lens. Handheld.

While I was in visiting War Eagle Mills & Farm in NW Arkansas, I could see where the road disappeared through some trees and over the hill. I just couldn't resist attempting to capture what I was seeing. After I finished with shooting by the bridge, I jumped in the rental car and drove up the road a few hundred feet and then parked on the side of road...stepped out and walked into the center...and then snapped a few off. With some minor alterations of the lighting with my ReDynamix plug-in in Photoshop, I've been able to recapture the incredible scene that I experienced while standing in the middle of that rural road.

All the macros and closeups I have been taking lately are making me feel a bit claustrophobic. So here is something different :-)
About this photo:
This is a scan of a 1997 (I was 13) photo from Isle Royale, Michigan. Isle Royale is the largest island in Lake Superior and the second largest island in the Great Lakes.
I am not sure exactly where this image was taken. It may actually be on Ryan island, but that still counts as Isle Royale and here is why: Isle Royale has several interior lakes, and many of those lakes have interior islands. So, your trivia tidbit for today is that Ryan Island is the name of the largest island in the largest lake (Siskiwit) of the largest island (Isle Royale) of the largest lake (Superior) in the world. I bet you wanted to know that, right?
More about this place: www.nps.gov/isro/
About the process:
This is a scan of a drugstore print from an ancient camera. I boosted the colors and contrast in Photoshop using high-contrast overlays.
To answer a question: I have an HP scanner (Officejet J6450) and I scanned at 300ppi

#107/365 Post Process Fridays episode #12. This week features an epic photo from PapekPhotography. I mean how epic can you get...beautiful old barn in the middle of the green field with uber clouds at sunset. For this one I really pushed up the colors, since I was going for a fantasy'esque story feel. I think I was a little influenced by PapekPhotography PP'd version he posted couple weeks back because they are very similar. Let's see who will be the first to get the title reference.

HAPPY TAMIL NEW YEARS DAY.
This confirms my view that the way we periceive things is highly subjective.
While we look at it as a beautiful Lotus bud, the dragon fly here looks at it as a mere landing pad before it goes on to its next location.
While I was focussing on photographing this bud, this dragonfly just popped into the frame and landed on it. I clicked a couple of shots and called out to my photography partner Prabhakaran to ask him to shoot some...but it was too late. The dragon fly had flown away.
Sometimes the angel of luck is by your side. You just have to thank her, and wish that she visits you once again.
Photographed with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, and Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8 IS USM L Lens and Canon EF 2X Extender. Handheld. Again a lot of you may think its a macro shot done with a macro lens. It was shot from about 10 feet away from the subject, at 400mm.

WOW. Just...wow. I have made it 365 days. And yes, I am going to say all of the cliched things that people say about 365. I started out a year ago to challenge myself to commit to something, to finish it, and--on the way--gain a better self-image after a quarter-life crisis left me in a bit of a bad state mentally.
All of this was wildly successful. I have learned so much about myself, and photography, and about myself as I relate to photography. I now not only know that I've found my calling in life, but I know that I am still beautiful (my perspective only, of course) as I get older. I learned so much technically about photography from all of you wonderful people--and your support has been AMAZING. This was not meant to be an ego-stroking adventure but you all gave me so many lovely comments, favs & encouragement.
I am not going to do another 365 of portraits--at least not for a while--and I am going to celebrate this milestone by taking a bit of a well-deserved Flickr vacation. Not a total break from it, but I will be posting less for a while, and spending time with the family that I neglected so severely over the past year in order to make this happen.
So again--THANK YOU to everyone. I could not have done this without you and I am not going away. Happy Easter and have a drink for me, wherever you are tonight! I will be having some in your honor as well. ;-)

I went to the "gianicolo" to shoot the full moon rising over Rome last night, but there was a huge cloud cover and no good light, so I ended up shooting this instead.... I have to admit I think I like this better than if I had gotten the moon shot :-)

Una de las cosas que más disfruté de Caracas fue viajar en metro.
Porque me sentía una más, me sentía parte.
Porque me permitía observar la cotidianeidad de la gente.
Porque era como vivir un pedacito de la vida de mis amigos, ya que lo usan constantemente.
Y también porque sí...
