“O fotógrafo quanto faz uma foto – usa os olhos, a alma, o coração e a emoção.
E no final o dedo. Para ver e entender a mesma, use tudo, menos o dedo.” Adilson Santos, fotógrafo.
* As fotos da sequencia estão abertas, pois ja foram publicadas anteriormente. Todas mostram a Pedra da Gávea tambem no amanhecer, local onde foi tirada a foto principal, sendo que a primeira mostra a imagem inversa, mostrando a Pedra da Gávea do alto do Morro Dois Irmãos e a segunda a Pedra da Gávea é vista do alto da Pedra Bonita
* Amigos peço desculpas pela falta de retribuições, mas desde de quinta feira não tenho parado e como podem perceber, neste fim de semana a coisa tambem foi bastante cansativa, vou no decorrer da semana tentar retribuir as visitas.

I didn’t know why I was getting a creepy kind of feeling when I walked through this section of the woods. But now that I’ve seen this image on my computer, I understand why! ;-) (The reason is easier to see when the image is viewed large.)

Alpenglow on the Mt. Baker from Deming, WA. This is what I see on my commute to work. Baker is a live volcano. We can occasionally see a plume of steam rising from a spot just to the right of the peak.
Mt. Baker: 9,355 feet or 2,851 meters in elevation. The two black buttes to the right of the dome erupted leaving craters. The last eruption was about 700,000 years ago. In 1975 there was an event that led to melting glaciers and snow, but did not result in magma reaching the surface. That magma has been slowly cooling since then.

♫ I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies so blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed days, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "how do you do?"
They're really saying, "I love you"
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll never know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world ♫

Big panorama from Freshwater Bay yesterday on the day the big swell known as Hercules arrived on the south coast and lots of people came out to enjoy the sights and take photos.
This one was timed to show a big wave crashing into the sea wall in front of the Albion hotel.
I’ve posted a dozen or so here on flickr, but there are 44 on my photo-blog at
isleofwightpictures.com/big-seas-freshwater-bay/
so if you like things that go splash and people running away from them you might want to take a look!

The Matterhorn (German), Cervino (Italian) or Cervin (French), is a mountain in the Pennine Alps. With its 4,478 metres (14,692 ft) high summit, lying on the border between Switzerland and Italy, it is one of the highest peaks in the Alps and its 1,200 metres (3,937 ft) north face is one of the Great north faces of the Alps.
The individual pieces of the chocolate bar Toblerone are claimed by its maker Kraft to be formed in the likeness of the Matterhorn.
Zermatt (French: Praborgne) is a municipality in the district of Visp in the German-speaking section of the canton of Valais in Switzerland.
It is located at the northern base of the Matterhorn in the Pennine Alps, about 10 km from the border with Italy.
Zermatt has a permanent population of around 5,500 people, although the actual population varies considerably through the seasons as tourists come and go. The village is situated at the end of Mattertal, a north-facing valley, at an altitude of 1,620m (5,315ft). The valley is a dead end; although the border with Italy is close, it cannot be crossed by road, as it traverses a glacier at an altitude of over 3,000m. Zermatt is the starting point of the Patrouille des Glaciers and the Haute Route.

The Alps (French: Alpes; German: Alpen; Italian: Alpi; Romansh: Alps; Slovene: Alpe) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high) or more likely a Latin rendering of a Celtic or Ligurian original.
The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,808 metres (15,774 ft), on the Italian-French border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.
The Alps are generally divided into the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps. The division is along the line between Lake Constance and Lake Como, following the Rhine. The Western Alps are higher, but their central chain is shorter and curved; they are located in Italy, France and Switzerland. The Eastern Alps (main ridge system elongated and broad) belong to Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland.
The Alps are a classic example of what happens when a temperate area at lower altitude gives way to higher elevation terrain. Elevations around the world which have cold climates similar to those found in polar areas have been called alpine. A rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere causes the temperature to decrease. The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow or rain.

Yesterday we had Magnus Krenty's autocycle/motorcycle (IH 54) outside O'Doherty's Hotel at Ardmalin in Co. Donegal. Today, we've been chauffeur-driven up around the coast to Burtonport. Outside O'Donnell's Hotel we find JI 54 waiting for us. And very far removed from the infernal combustion engine, that looks like a very fine lace collar on the window looker outer (technical term)...

On our walk through the Roxborough State Park, Colorado, United States.
The state park is known for dramatic red sandstone formations. Located in Douglas County 25 miles (40 km) south of Denver, Colorado, the 3,339-acre (13.51 km2) park was established in 1975. In 1980 it was recognized as a National Natural Landmark because of the number of ecological systems and geological formations. It is also a State Historic Site and National Cultural District because of the number of archaeological sites.
Roxborough State Park is a designated Colorado Natural Area and National Natural Landmark for its 300 million year old red sandstone Fountain Formation that tilt at a 60 degree angle. The park includes great examples of exposed Precambrian to Late Mesozoic hogback, monolithic and spire formations from the Permian, Pennsylvanian and Cretaceous age. Carpenter Peak's exposed granite is from Precambrian era.
The park consists of forests of ponderosa pine and Douglas fir, prairie land, and woodlands that support many forms of wildlife. There are 145 bird, over 50 butterfly and moth, and 11 amphibian and reptile species. Mammals commonly found in the park include black bear, coyote, deer, elk, fox, mountain lion, prairie dog, and rabbit. Sources of water include Little Willow Creek, Willow Creek and Mill Gulch. Elevations range from 5,900 to 7,280 feet (1,800 to 2,220 m).
There are six hiking trails in Roxborough State Park, a network of easy to moderate trails that also connect to Douglas County trail system, Pike National Forest and Waterton Canyon trails. (Wikipedia)

Octubre es el mes dedicado al cáncer de seno, por eso un gran número de empresas y personas se han unido para luchar de distintas formas y crear conciencia sobre esta agresiva enfermedad..
El Mes de Sensibilización sobre el Cáncer de Mama, que se celebra en todo el mundo cada mes de octubre, contribuye a aumentar la atención y el apoyo prestados a la sensibilización, la detección precoz, el tratamiento y los cuidados paliativos.
La prevención del cáncer mamario se basa en un diagnóstico temprano que permita efectuar un tratamiento adecuado en el momento inicial de la enfermedad. Los dos aliados son el auto-exámen de mamas y el control ginecológico sistemático

Strokkur (Icelandic for "churn") is a fountain geyser in the geothermal area beside the Hvítá River in Iceland in the southwest part of the country, east of Reykjavík. It is one of Iceland's most famous geysers, erupting about every 4–8 minutes 15 – 20 m high, sometimes up to 40 m high.
Light painting in Bohinj Lake, whilst a lightning storms plays across the surrounding peaks of the Triglav National Park. The white balance is as shot - the lightning picking out the distant peaks in a curious purple glow.
Wading out to the little rocky island to light paint, whilst the thunder and lightning bounced around the surrounding hills, was a slightly nervous endeavour, but worth it for the result. I shot a few goat versions first, which I might post, then just one of the girl. Despite the break in her arm, it seemed so clean that with the storm rolling down the slopes into the valley I thought I'd call it a day.
It's a while since I've done any light painting, as the whole process just takes too long to fit around busy work loads. Using a sock as a diffuser, however, has made the process much less haphazard, and so our recent holiday gave me a chance to get back into it. Without a sock (or other diffuser) on your flashlight/torch, lens flare is a real threat, wiping out maybe 2 in 3 shots. For this shot, I'd also put the flashlight in a plastic bag. The distance is very forgiving with the lines.
If you'd like to see some of my older light paintings, just click here. There are all created in camera by drawing lines free hand with a torch/flashlight.
After about ten attempted uploads, interrupted by sporadic #badpanda messages, the file is loaded, but without EXIF data. [Update - this appears to have fixed itself].
Maybe I should have dropped the ISO - the 5D Mkiii creates some disruptive coloured noise on long exposures at 400, which I don't see at lower sensitivities - but at over ten minutes a shot, the lightning was just too uncontrolled. A sudden flurry of strikes and the sky overexposed, so smaller time windows were needed. Although the actual forks of lightning aren't especially visible, they have the neat effect of freezing the sky mostly in place.
Hope everyone is having a superb weekend. Catching up now.
Haven't been around these parts much lately, but managed a couple of images in the meantime.
This is another collaboration between myself and Dave Williams, who provided the Ha used as luminance. My first mosaic, it consists of three frames (well, two and a tiny little strip in between really) processed using photomerge in Photoshop, which I was impressed with.

The Schönburg is a castle above the medieval town of Oberwesel in the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
Schönburg Castle was first mentioned in history between the years 911 and 1166.
From the 12th century, the Dukes of Schönburg ruled over the town of Oberwesel and had also the right to levy customs on the Rhine river. The most famous was Friedrich von Schönburg - a much-feared man known as “Marshall Schomberg” - who in the 17th century served as a colonel and as a general under the King of France in France and Portugal and later also for the Prussians and for William Prince of Orange in England.
The Schönburg line died out with the last heir, the son of Friedrich of Schönburg.
The castle was burned down in 1689 by French soldiers during the Palatinate wars.
Schönburg castle remained in ruins for 200 years until it was acquired by the German-American Rhinelander family who bought the castle from the town of Oberwesel in the late 19th century, and restored it.
The town council of Oberwesel acquired the castle back from the Rhinelander family in 1950.
Since 1957 the Hüttl family have been living at the castle on a long-term lease; they operate a successful hotel and restaurant there. (Wikipedia)

Quero ver brotar o perdão, onde a gente plantou juntos outra vez...
Já sonhamos juntos, semeando as canções no vento
Quero ver crescer nossa voz no que falta sonhar... ♫
Mais uma foto tirada na manhã do ultimo sabado quando subi a trilha do Morro Dois Irmãos, esta foto foi tirada um pouco mais abaixo do topo e de onde foi tirada a foto anterior, como falei para alguma pessoas, esta trilha na minha opinão é um pouco mais pesada que a trilha da Pedra Bonita, ambos os caminhos para mim foram tranquilos, mas isto depende muito da disposição física de cada um, quem só anda de carro e não esta acostumado a fazer trilhas pode sentir dificuldades, mas eu acredito que mesmo essas pessoas podem subir com tranquilidade se forem no seu ritmo.
* Na primeira foto da sequencia, mostra o ponto onde foia minha primeira parada de 15 minutos de descanso, para ter uma ideia o senhor que aparece na foto devia ter cerca de 70 anos e me ultrapassou no meio da trilha, chegando la em cima na minha frente.
* A Segunda foto é a foto que publiquei antes da atual e já mostra o Cume do Morro Dois Irmãos.
* A terceira e quarta foto da sequencia estão abertas, pois já foram publicadas anteriormente e nelas vemos o Morro Dois Irmãos visto de dois angulos; O primeiro do alto da Pedra Bonita e da Praia do Pepino.

Panorama view out of 5 single shots.
Directly north of Boppard, the Rhine takes its greatest bend. This bow is called the Bopparder Hamm. The best known lookout point over this bow in the Rhine is the Vierseenblick, or “Four-Lake View”. This vista gets its name from the way in which the Rhine can be seen from here, or rather the way in which it cannot be seen: hills block out most of the view of the river itself so that visitors can only see four apparently separate patches of water, rather like four lakes. These are all actually parts of the Rhine; there are no lakes to be seen. The Vierseenblick can be reached by chairlift.
Panorama view of 5 single shots.
Boppard lies on the upper Middle Rhine, often known as the Rhine Gorge. This characteristic narrow form of valley arose from downward erosion of the Rhine’s riverbed. Since 2002, the Gorge has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A 17 km stretch of the Rhine forms the town’s eastern limit. (Wikipedia)
