fr: Un coup d'oeil sur la bastide à travers les arcades, Monpazier, Périgord, Dordogne, France
"HDR" from 3 different exposures (3s,7s,13s) - no Photomatix - Mean (smart object function) of 3 pictures - EXIF from +1ev Exposure - Tripod - WB asjusted to 3000K High fluorescent. The real challenge on this one was increasing local contrast and luminosity while keeping the saturation relatively low.
you REALLY have to see it BIGGER On Black or the boogeyman will get you! :-)

*History: This town was founded in 1284 by the English King, Edward I, who was also had the title of Duke of Aquitaine. It is an example of an almost completely preserved bastides, which were fortified towns, built in the areas disputed by England and France in the 12th century. This attractive and peaceful village has a turbulent and violent history at the hands of various protagonists.
*Histoire: Monpazier est sans nul doute la bastide anglaise la mieux conservée du périgord par sa place à arcades, ses ruelles, ses maisons, ses églises et les vestiges de ses fortifications.
La ville forme un quadrilatère de 400 mètres sur 220 mètres dont le grand axe est orienté du Sud vers le nord. Toutes les maisons sont d'égales dimensions et sont séparées par d'étroits intervalles (andrones) prévus pour limiter la propagation des incendies.
Cette bastide fut fondée le 7 janvier 1284 par Edouard 1er, roi d'angleterre et duc d'angleterre sur des terrains cédés par le baron Pierre de Gontaut Biron. Ses habitants bénéficiaient de nombreux avantages comme l'exemption d'impôt et l'abolition du droit seigneurial.
Pendant la guerre de cent ans, Monpazier changea plusieurs fois de main. En 1637 une révolte de 8000 croquant naquit à Monpazier.

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.

Excerpt from "Ancient Words" by Tiny Malone
"The wind, the light...all sound was still that night as we returned to our home. The bright moon cast rays of blue light on the place I used to live. The stains of blood were still there. The bones of my ancestors had been desecrated. After this long journey, we sat in silence, contemplating if we should have even returned. The stench of rot and death permeated the great walls of our land. We lived in peace. We hunted here. Raised crops here. Made love and raised our children here. Then someone decided we had to die."

We had an extraordinary weather this last weeks. A summer weather, which is unexpected in April :-)
And tonight we experienced a real summer thunderstorm ;-)
This picture is taken from my flat's window. It looks like a forest! I cheated a little bit on the green channel to emphasize the effect though ;-°
This is my entry for the week for Foreign'r, a group made with friends. We have a common theme per week and we try to show difference between our lives around the globe.
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.

Peaches is not actually the mother of all the kittens - but she took over the rearing of all of them. She is also my tortie girl, Liza's, mother.
This is the picture we're going with for the final. I think the composition is more balanced, the tones more intense, the lighting dramatic. I might have to add some elements for the final (bringing more definition to the light going out, etc).

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.
I am headed to Iceland in a few hours to hang out with Asmundur - I can't wait! I also took a few interesting shots here in Amsterdam, but I've had no time to process them.... coming soon!

okaaay, ô_õ here i’m again with my bazooka lens, ^o^lols i was aboard on this tiny fiberglass boat with my crew when mr. Sempurno *the boat rower* told mr. Agus *my local guide and translator* that a big lens was pointing at our direction. no doubt, another spy shoot of me! lols ò_ó it was Con Foley’s big lens ^o^lols. a wildlife photographer whom i’d a great opportunity to meet on that day.
let’s be perfectly honest, no glamorous looking person can be seen here ó_ò hahah… ó_ò sweat was pouring my face, dripping into my eyes and camera’s viewfinder; i was feeling like i was inside of a turkish bath fully dressed… and hOly mOley, mites, ants and spiders had plugged my pores and, left annoying itching red pustules. lols and also in this marvelous technicolor scenario my hair was a soaking wet mess inside my hat. ^o^ but hey, i loved the show that was rolling in front of my eyes, although this performance was only for no more than 20minutes per day. ö_ö ö_ö ö_ö

okaaay, ô_õ aqui estou outra vez com a minha lente bazuca, ^o^lols eu estava a bordo neste barco minúsculo de fibra de vidro, com a minha equipe, quando o sr. Sempurno *o remador do barco* disse para o sr. Agus *meu guia local e tradutor* que uma lente grande estava em pontaria em nossa direção. sem dúvidas, outro spy shoot de mim! lols era a enorme lente de Con Foley ^o^lols. um fotógrafo da vida selvagem quem eu tive a grande oportunidade de conhecer nesse dia.
ò_ó sejamos perfeitamente honestos, nenhuma pessoa glamorosa pode ser vista aqui ó_ò ahuahuah…ó_ò suor diluviava meu rosto, goteja nos meus olhos e no visor da câmera; sentia-me como se eu estivesse no interior de um banho turco completamente vestida… e nOssa, pequenos parasitas, formigas e aranhas haviam plugado os meus poros e, deixaram pústulas vermelhas que coçavam irritantemente. lols e também neste maravilhoso cenário tecnicolorado, meus cabelos eram uma massa encharcada dentro do meu chapéu. ^O^ mas, êi, amei o show que rolava na frente dos meus olhos, ainda que este desempenho era só por não mais do que 20minutos por dia. ö_ö ö_ö ö_ö

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.
Update 3/23/2007
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.

Thalankuppam is a small fishing hamlet, at the extreme north of Madras city. A river - called variously the Kourtaliayaar, Mogathwaram, Thalankuppam - meets the sea here, at Thalankuppam. A wide, sandy beach, broken piers, fishing boats, and more make for a great way to spend the evening.
Thalankuppam, otherwise just a small dot in the map of Madras, has one little thing going for it. Fresh fish. Locals and people from far flock to the daily and weekly fish market here. Fish here is sold in big lots, and buyers bid for it.
Apparently, the British Raj too bought its fish from here. They would board their ships at the Fort St. George, sail north for 17 kilometres, and buy their lord's favourite here, 200 years ago.
