From high atop the Northernmost part of the Alabama Hills, I froze my butt off taking this hour-long time exposure. It was Winter and it was a very long time up there, This was done with Kodachrome 64 and the exposure was long enough to see the Valley and the mountains illuminated. Best if Big.

Parc de la Ciutadella, Barcelona (Spain).
ENGLISH
A "discreet" parrot wanted to pass unnoticed between the herd of pigeons that pecked bread. Unfortunately for him it was discovered. In the last years the population of parrots in freedom in Barcelona has grown enormously, and they already dare to compete with the pigeons.

In 1714 Barcelona fell to the army of Philip V after a long siege. The dogged resistance of the city meant that its new rulers wanted to keep it under firm control.
A year later, Philip V ordered a giant new garrison fort, the largest in Europe, to be built in order to guard the city. The buildings of the Ribera district were demolished and in their place, in 1716, the new fortifications began to be erected, paid for by the city itself.
In 1841, the Junta de Vigilància (Board of the Guard) began to dismantle it, but under the Regency it was restored in 1843.
After the anti-Bourbon revolution of September 1868, the Catalan general Joan Prim decideded to turn over the garrison fort, the Ciutadella, to the city, which from 1869 to 1888 had it pulled down, this time definitively. All that was preserved was the Governor's palace, the chapel and the arsenal.
In 1888 Barcelona held a Universal Exhibition, inspired by Mayor Rius i Taulet, and the park was built on the grounds of the demolished Ciutadella. This event marks the end of the old provincial Barcelona and the establishment of a modern cosmopolitan city.

CASTELLANO
Un "discreto" loro quiso pasar desapercibido entre la manada de palomas que picoteaba pan. Lamentablemente para él fue descubierto. En los últimos años la población de loros en libertad en Barcelona ha crecido enormemente, y ya se atreven a competir con las palomas.
***
En al año 1714, Barcelona fue sometida a un largo asedio por el ejército de Felipe V. La larga resistencia que opuso la ciudad dio lugar a que este rey quisiera asegurar su dominio.
Un año después, Felipe V ordenó la construcción de la ciudadela más grande de Europa, con el objetivo de poder vigilar la ciudad, y para construirla hizo derribar el barrio de la Ribera. El año 1716 se comenzó a construir las edificaciones, que fueron pagadas por la ciudad.
En 1841, la Junta de Vigilancia inició su derribo, pero la Regencia la restauró el año 1843.
Durante la revolución de septiembre el general catalán Joan Prim decretó la donación de la Ciudadela a la ciudad, que entre los años 1869 y 1888 la hizo derribar definitivamente. Se han conservado el palacio del Gobernador, la capilla y el arsenal.
En 1888, con motivo de la Exposición Universal, promovida per el alcalde Rius i Taulet, se construyó el parque en los terrenos de la demolida Ciudadela. Este hecho cambió la orientación de la vida de la ciudad: Barcelona se transforma en una ciudad cosmopolita.

Test shot with the new Polaroid SX-70 I've got from eBay, rather a clever little Polaroid, it's surprisingly small too, I rather like how easy it is to focus and how it look through the viewfinder, much better than looking through my Lubitel 166B viewfinder (quick note - i didn't like having the border on the Polaroid so I decided to just crop to the picture itself, nice and clean).
I managed to modified the 600 films into the SX-70, removing the ND filter on the sensor and set the camera to the darkest setting on the sensor, picture still came out slightly overexposed but not so much.
Who need Photoshop?
Edited - I've notice due to Polaroid announced that they won't be doing instant film anymore, this lead to an increase number of people searching "Polaroid" on Flickr, and since this polaroid came first out of the list of search, I take this chance to show you the Save Polaroid site;
"This site will document the aftermath of this announcement and will serve as a home-base for the effort to convince another company to begin producing the cherished technology that Polaroid has so carelessly abandoned, this is not about saving Polaroid, the company, rather the remarkable invention of Edwin Land, the instant film that made Polaroid a household name."
A fire destroyed the office/clubhouse of a mobile home park located adjacent to the Lakeside Golf Course on North Coliseum Blvd. late this afternoon. There were no injuries. The building was vacant and was going to be torn down.
The site will become the site of the new Red Carrington Field for amatuer baseball in Fort Wayne. The current Carrington Field on the north side of Coliseum Boulevard on the west side of the St. Joseph River is being displaced by construction of the new hotel being built in conjunction with IPFW and the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum.

There are times I curse at the street lights and at the lights from the Cliff House, but this night I found them to be quite the blessing.
Yukon Quest is a sled dog race that takes places every February. Mushers compete for the grand prize of $200 000. Usually this prize money is also suplemented by some amount of real gold (gold coins, or brick of gold etc.)
The race is 1000 miles long and has many international attendees.. It starts in Whitehorse, Yukon and finishes in Fairbanks, Alaska or vice versa. The direction of the race alternates each year. Mushers take 10 to 14 days to complete the race. High percentage of racers do not finish. Air rescues are not uncommon because of the remoteness of the area and extreme weather.
Other photos of dogs and mushers, both from me and from other photographers, can be seen at the The Yukon Quest pool.
okay, ^o^ here is a photo taken with my favorite natural lighting condition and subject… yeah, ö_ö the precious & gorgeous golden lighting at sunrise with those translucent back-lighted wings.
Õ_õ before shooting this frame, those little egrets were flying with an incredible synchronism, together all the time, quite like an egret carrying a mirror aside; ö_ö many times they were showing off some incredible maneuvers right in front of my nose. lols… ò_ó frustrating for me, because the fact was happening at very near time of dawn and i hadn’t sufficient light to click the shutter. ó_ò hmmm… increasing iso for more than 400 would give me too much granulation in the entire composition and the use of flashlight *even with a diffuser* most probably would be disastrous. ö_ö yeah, it was hard to remember constantly that they were wild, they could get scared easily and pluff… ö_ö disappear in a blink of an eye. ~_^
ö_ö i was lucky, they came back later on and eventually, i got this shot. controlling lens flare was a bit difficult but my crew were very cooperative, they promptly answered my request of *don’t move, be quiet, no breathing and heads down* and ö_ö i could maneuver my big lens comfortably. ^o^lols

certo, ^o^ aqui está uma fotografia feita com o assunto e condição de luz natural favorita. sim, ö_ö a preciosa & bela luz dourada do amanhecer com essas asas translúcidas iluminadas em contraluz.
Õ_õ antes de clickar este enquadramento, estas garças-brancas-pequenas estavam voando com um sincronismo incrível, juntas todo o tempo, muito como se a garçota tivesse um espelho ao seu lado; ö_ö muitas vezes elas exibiam algumas manobras incríveis bem na frente do meu nariz. rsrs... ò_ó frustrante para mim, porque este fato sempre acabava acontecendo numa hora muito cedo, pertinho do amanhecer e eu não tinha luz suficiente para clicar o shutter. ó_ò hmmm… aumentar o iso para mais que 400 daria-me muita granulação na composição inteira e o uso do flash *mesmo com um difusor* provavelmente seria desastroso. ö_ö yeah, foi duro lembrar constantemente que elas eram selvagens, elas poderiam assustar-se facilmente, e pluff... ö_ö desapareceriam em uma piscadela de olho. ^_~
ö_ö eu tive sorte, elas voltaram mais tarde e ao menos consegui esta foto. :P controlar o reflexo de lente foi um pouco difícil mas, a minha equipe foi bem cooperativa, prontamente eles responderam meu pedido de * não movam, calados, não respirem e abaixar cabeças* e ö_ö eu pude manobrar a minha lente grande confortavelmente. ^o^rsrs...

This lone oak tree stands in a field just a few hundred yards from my front door. This was last weekend as the sun came up on a frosty Saturday morning. Moments before this was taken my youngest daughter who chose to accompany me to watch the sunrise had been swinging on the rope hanging down from one of it's branches.

Kiev is a cold place in the winter. I can't for the life of me figure out why the Germans chose to invade these old Russian cities in the winter months. They say the Russians had some significant success because they initially did not depend on tanks, which are not great in the snow, but instead relied on horse-cavalry.
All of this ultimately made me think that the only thing worse than being a German soldier during a Kiev winter would be being a Russian horse.
Over on the right there, you can see the huge statue celebrating the Great Patriotic War, which we know as WWII.

Shot during a trip last year to White Sands National Monument. We camped over night in the Monument, and we had the park to ourselves. It was a moonless night, so a good time to shoot some star trails. This was shot looking north, and it looks like some city lights on the horizon. However, I can't think of what city/town that would be. Alamagordo is to the east and not in the picture.

Strobists: I think this qualifies for the Strobist group. Left shutter open until battery died (see comments below) and walked over to the tent and popped my Sigma 500 Super DG on full power while inside. Then went to bed.
Getting a different take of the frenzy of the street dancing is not easy. The performers always move too fast. That I am partial to shots clean of extraneous elements like the crowd and the ever present photographers angling for the same shots compound the challenge. So when I got a clear shot of the ever flashinhg hand of the lead dancer, I took it. This, for me, is a representation of grace in action.
