Third, Happy Monday Blues and wish you all a great start to the week ahead!!!

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.

"...El caballo bayo es muy buscado, su pelaje ya era muy frecuente en la península Ibérica. Viene ciertamente de los caballos importados por los moriscos que invadieron la península española y que salieron a las Américas más tarde. Algunos bayos fueron caballos de reyes y grandes combatientes. Ganaron también muchas carreras y enriquecieron a algunos de sus propietarios. Muchas historias están ligadas a la fama de estos caballos que se dican fuertes, resistentes, inteligentes y leales. Entre las diferentes capas, los bayos son considerados como los mejores de las tropas militares..."

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.

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.

This is a three shot "Long Exposure" HDR and there was very little light inside, but no foot traffic and my tripod with me made it possible. Far from perfect, but was good fun.
The road at the end angled slightly up is still covered with snow. Plus, this tunnel is shared by nature walkers in the day and animals during the night.
I hope everyone is having a great Friday today and looking forward to the weekend.
(Aussie's & NZ are already having a great weekend, right? lol)

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?

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.

The Blossoming continues into its fourth day. In order to blossom into our true potential, we need to open up. We cannot expect the lotus to bloom, while still being a closed bud.
The same holds true for us. We cannot expect to transform into our full potentials if we do not open up to greater possibilities that walk in front of us. A big reason we remain closed is fear. And fear comes from darkness.
Just as the sunlight gently caresses the lotus flower to bloom, we need the inner light to overcome our fears and step out of the darkness. Then our potential will begin to shine.
More to come in this series...watch this space.

#104/365 War is Hell, specially when it's fought on freshly cut grass. Two night shots in a row....what's gotten into me! While taking this I could hear my neighbors saying "what was that?...Did you see that?". I guess they noticed the 2 flash units going off every couple of seconds. This was actually a test for the new lens I got for the d40...the 35mm f1.8 AF-S.

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.

GO ON TO SEE MY NEXT POST IN THE SERIES -
—The Book of Counted Sorrows
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. ;-)

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...

The title is coming from my read on this...Stanley Park looks like the wellspring of the city.
Looking pretty much straight down on downtown Vancouver. An interesting point of architecture is the new Convention Centre expansion with the grass already growing on top. Also, this shows Coal Harbor and English Bay in the same shot. Shot from the Helijet on approach to the heliport.

What? Did you actually think I would leave Austria without showing you the capital?
Welcome to Vienna, Austria. The 10th largest city by population in the European Union and one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It was ranked #1 (tied with Vancouver) among 127 cities for overall quality of life in a 2005 study.
This is a photograph of The Upper Belvedere. A baroque palace that was built between 1720-1723. Belvedere is a palace complex built by Prince Eugene of Savoy just south-east of the historic city center of Vienna.
Although it was raining when we visited Laurie and I still had a wonderful time exploring the complex. There is a magnificent garden with plenty of fountains just behind this building, that I wish the whole world could see. The gardens were designed by Dominique Girard who trained in the gardens of Versailles as a young student.
I hope you enjoy the majestic view and have yourselves a great weekend!
I will be catching up with all your streams tonight, see you on Monday!

On the last day of our vacation I could no longer resist the urge to play with my husband's underwater camera. The light was so bright, I couldn't see a thing on the screen or hear the shutter click. I just set it on automatic and fired away until the memory card was filled. The memory card was small so I only managed a dozen or so shots ;-(
-philly glow-
i was still getting used to the 5d when i shot this and mistakenly set it to iso 200 (i've been spoiled by the 1Ds because the iso on that is shown in the viewfinder all the time so i never had to worry about it). when i got home, i was worried and loaded the images up immediately only to find out that there was nothing to worry at all - the 5d really rocks and indeed does deliver very clean files at high isos (provided you get the exposure right of course).
the only regret i have about this perfectly lit shot was that i wish this was a mountain scene. :)
