thank you, my dear Flickr friends, for all your comments, favs and invites! you guys are the BEST!!
FOR SURE ENJOY ON BLACK!! :-) "L"
I can finally lay this location to rest. This was my fifth visit to this spot and I finally captured what I wanted: raging surf and cloud action. The combination of conditions has always eluded in my previous visits, only getting one or the other. This shot was taken down in Point Lobos State Reserve, the northern edge of Big Sur. Point Lobos is one of my favorite areas of the California central coast. It has coastal forests, various coves, beaches, wildlife, and has endless compositions for photography. If I lived closer to here I would probably be down here almost every weekend for the spectacular views it offers.
Enough with the background info, here’s the story behind the shot. The Bay Area was rocked by some of the largest thunderstorms the night before. I contemplated heading out to SF to capture the epic storms but ultimately ended up sitting at home. In my almost four years in the Bay Area, the series of thunderstorms was the most intense I have encountered. The main cells passed the night before but a few patch thunderstorms remained throughout Friday. On my way down to Point Lobos, I encountered one of such patch thunderstorms on Hwy 101. I felt like I was driving through monsoon season in the southwest.
The central coast was full of drama from the passing thunderstorms. The surf was much more rough and higher than I had ever seen at Point Lobos. This shot was more difficult to pull off than appears. Though I was well above Pinnacle Rock, the high surf continuously kicked up significant mist that kept bombarding me. On top of that the surf created foam that tended to blow out my highlights or created wave action that appeared like a giant swatch of white. I realized I had to time it with the right sized wave and with an exposure not too long to get the shot I wanted. I waited, shielding my filters from the mist, and I sprang into action when the proper waves moved in. I managed to capture the rough wave action detailing the unrest of the ocean, light beams behind the clouds, and a patch thunderstorm that appeared out of nowhere on the horizon.
Hope you enjoy!

«Io sono una persona malata... sono una persona cattiva. Io sono uno che non ha niente di attraente. Credo d'avere una malattia al fegato. Anche se d'altra parte non ci capisco un'acca della mia malattia, e non so che cosa precisamente ci sia di malato in me. Non mi curo e non mi sono mai curato, anche se la medicina e i dottori io li rispetto. Per di più sono anche superstizioso al massimo grado; o perlomeno quanto basta per rispettare la medicina. (Sono abbastanza istruito da non essere superstizioso, ma sono superstizioso). Nossignori, non mi voglio curare, e non lo voglio appunto per cattiveria. Ecco, forse questa cosa voialtri non vi degnerete di capirla. Be' io invece la capisco. Ovviamente non so spiegarvi a chi di preciso intenda far dispetto in questo caso specifico, con la mia cattiveria; so benissimo che nemmeno ai dottori medesimi potrò in alcun modo" farla sporca", col mio non andar da loro a curarmi; e so meglio di chicchessia che così sto danneggiando unicamente me stesso e nessun altro. Cionondimeno, se non mi curo è giustappunto per cattiveria. Il mio fegato soffre? Bene, che soffra pure, e ancora di più!»
[Fëdor Dostoevskij, “Memorie dal sottosuolo”, incipit, 1864]

The Pannonian Plain is a large plain in Central Europe that remained when the Pliocene Pannonian Sea dried out. It is a geomorphological subsystem of the Alps-Himalaya system.
The river Danube divides the plain roughly in half.
The plain is divided among Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine.
The plain is roughly bounded by the Carpathian mountains, the Alps, the Dinaric Alps and the Balkan mountains.
Although rain is not plentiful, it usually falls when necessary and the plain is a major agricultural area; it is sometimes said that these fields of rich loamy loess soil could feed the whole of Europe. For its early settlers, the plain offered few sources of metals or stone. Thus when archaeologists come upon objects of obsidian or chert, copper or gold, they have almost unparalleled opportunities to interpret ancient pathways of trade.
The precursor to the present plain was a shallow sea that reached its greatest extent during the Pliocene, when three to four kilometres of sediments were deposited.
The plain was named after the Pannonians, a northern Illyrian tribe. Various different peoples inhabited the plain during its history. In the first century BC, the eastern parts of the plain belonged to the Dacian state, and in the first century AD its western parts were subsumed into the Roman Empire. The Roman province named Pannonia was established in the area, and the city of Sirmium, today Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia, became one of the four capital cities of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century.

L'Erythronium dens-canis (dente di cane)
è una pianta erbacea bulbosa appartenente alla famiglia delle Liliacee. Ha fiori rosei e solitari, che sbocciano all'inizio della primavera, nei prati delle Prealpi, in zone fredde ma riparate. La specie vive solo nel continente europeo. È una pianta commestibile, consumata a crudo, insieme ad altre insalate, o lessata, è una liliacea graziosissima con fiore di colore rosa con petali rovesciati all’infuori che lasciano in vista le antere bluastre e lo stimma trilobo. Fiorisce tra marzo e maggio. E’ tipico dei boschi e degli incolti. Ha bulbi rigonfiati inferiormente dai quali nascono due foglie, di colore verde scuro macchiato di rosso - bruno, a forma ovata o bislungo - lanceolata. Il nome "dens-canis" (volg. dente di cane) è dovuto alla forma del bulbo che è piccolo e acuminato superiormente, così da ricordare un dente di cane.

All of them are driven by poverty and many of them even can not get to eat three times in a day. Still,
you can see the unique joy in their faces while you meet them. Our poor children other than their
poverty-struck life. That is their innocence and simplicity that keeps them happy, smiling and gives
mental strength to cope up with a life that is full of hunger, poverty as well as natural calamities.
Harry Potter and Mickey Mouse may not reach to these poverty-hit children, but you will get to know that these children also have their own playing stuffs like clay, sand, water, tress, they also playing in the seashore, laughing, flying kite, bathing in the river without caring anything else and the other things from the nature. Nature and children are very closely in my country and they do seem no less happy than the children who have access to Harry Potter and Mickey Mouse.

This female Red-breasted Merganser was feeding on Pipefish right along the shore of Parrish Park on the Indian River Lagoon. I had seen other water birds eating these Pipefish before but this is the first time I was able to get close enough for an identifiable shot. This was also the first time I had gotten close enough to see the serrated bill on a Red-breasted Merganser. The serrated bill shows much better in large size.
Taken from my car this spring, just before I got to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge in Florida.

Orchids at the New York Botanical Garden’s 2012 Orchid Show “The Orchid Show: Patrick Blanc’s Vertical Gardens” (Bronx, New York)—March 31, 2012.
Blanc’s vertical gardens are world-renowned for their cutting edge approach to horticulture. After years of travelling around the world as a professional botanist observing how plants grow in their natural habitats, Blanc pioneered a cutting-edge approach to vertical gardens that is celebrated by horticultural and design communities alike.
Magazine Street is one of the gem in New Orleans, really close to the french quarter, and filled with a lot of local stores. I really love the atmosphere of the place and the unique antique shops that it offers. This weekend is Easter break, lucky for us we get 5days off! (including the weekend) It's already feel like summer already, with today weather hit up in the 80s. I really excited for the upcoming Senior Art show, in which I will be doing next semester, a lot of talented artist this semester.
Have a good week ahead!

♫ ♫ The Distance ♫ ♫ by Cake
You may now freely accuse me of being "middle-of-the-road" :)
This is the kind of view you only get if you've been run over OR are trying to get a really low-angle photo. Either way, you're lying stomach to the ground on a road. Probably not the safest idea ever, but if the picture is good it's worth it, right?
Note: If you are going to shoot at a low angle like this, you're probably going to need to angle your lens slightly upward (toward the sky) so that you don't get a very out-of-focus area in your immediate foreground. I have found that by putting my lens cap on the ground and then my wallet on top of it, I can get just the right upward tilt to the lens to avoid the out-of-focus area. The wallet idea was from another Flickr member (I wish I could remember who so I could give credit), but it works great and it's usually an item you already have in your pocket.
Thank you for your visits and comments. Please feel free to add notes to any of my images.

Another photo from that amazing late afternoon / early evening nature walk last Sunday; it was perfect outside, one of the nicest weather days we have had so far!
Beautiful warm breeze, sun shining down and illuminating everything with a golden glow, trees standing tall, watching over the meltwater streams flowing by, and the river just beyond...really a wonderful time for a walk!
The amazing light was due to the fact that it was late afternoon, getting into evening, and the sun was just beginning to set!
Here we have two creatures that can see in the dark. Demetrius the cat, and the D800. Dark is an understatement. We're talking f/1.4, 85mm @ 1/30th sec, and ISO 25,600. What's more impressive than the low-light handling is the fact the AF locked on with absolutely no problems.
Versus the D700, when downsampled to match, I'd say the D800 is around 1-1/2 stops better. If I nail the exposure, I would definitely feel comfortable with a 25,600 image at 5x7... *maybe* 8x10 if the stars were aligned. I'd say I felt this way about the D700 at ~ISO 8000.
But, that's relative. I say that about the D700, but in practice I would *never* go above 6400 because of the loss of detail. Noise I can deal with, but the problem is that images start to look soft on the D700 when that high. I mean, check out the whiskers in this shot! I'd say it's easily TWO full stops more usable... if not 2-1/3rd.

A shot from the weekend, sometime it looked like the light would get good but it never quite got there... Most of the time it was a just a bit of a fug, possibly due to a combination of a high pressure weather system a sea haar and haze from the numerous hill fires in Scotland at this time of year.

Unos días más tarde de su alineamiento más próximo, pero aún tuve tiempo anoche de disfrutar del cielo cántabro en el valle de Iguña, una zona con poca contaminación lumínica, salvo la autovía de la meseta A-67.
No tuve paciencia para esperar a la oscuridad de la noche (hoy había que madrugar), así que pude captar este ocaso,con el cielo anaranjado y con el humo de un incendio forestal.
