The Story
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a bit of a backlog of photos made during the past two months so here is one from December 30th in Oceanside, California just north of San Diego.
It had been clear all day and by noon, things were looking grim for any sort of a dramatic sunset. I was watching the satellite movies during the day and this very same band of clouds had set in over the ocean but too far out to be very interesting. Most of the time the weather and winds come from the west off of the ocean. But about 3 hours before sunset, the band evaporated and reformed almost overhead. Then I started to worry whether it would stick around for sunset. Of course there is always something to worry about, right?
Fortunately, the cloud bank held up all the way to sunset and I saw this amazing scene just as I had hoped. It extended to the north and south for at least 50 miles in each direction. The cloud was moving quickly but it was evaporating on the backside and forming in the front side, so overall it remained in place for hours. It was still there at 10 at night!
Needless to say, it is really important to study the clouds to know whether it is worth your effort to drive 40 miles as I did to capture this scene. I watched the cloud and realized that it would hold in place despite how it seemed to move so quickly.
Also, I just learned that I will have a photo in the 2012 Nature Conservancy Calendar. That makes three years in a row. Voting is going on to see which one will be the cover photo, but at least I know I'm in there!
The map shows the exact location.

Simply the best way to scout out locations that there is. You can see sun angles and pre-visualize light under lots of different conditions. Sometimes you can actually pre-compose your shots! This has saved me many thousands of vertical feet of climbing by avoiding spots with blocked views etc.

Flooded floodplains along the river IJssel (Rhine delta) in the Netherlands
Last month (December 2010 and early January 2011) it snowed and rained a lot in the basin of the river Rhine (Switzerland, Germany, France and the Netherlands). The meltwater and rainwater has given flooding in the Rhine delta. Every few years there have been floods in the floodplain of the river IJssel. The IJssel, also called Gelderse IJssel, is the northern branch of the Rhine delta in the Dutch provinces of Gelderland and Overijssel.
Overstroomde uiterwaarden langs de IJssel bij Leuvenheim tussen Brummen en Spankeren
De afgelopen maand (december 2010 en begin januari 2011) heeft het eerst veel gesneeuwd en daarna geregend in het stroomgebied van de Rijn (Zwitserland, Duitsland, Frankrijk en Nederland).
Het smeltwater en het regenwater hebben flinke overstromingen gegeven in de Rijndelta. Ook bij de Gelderse IJssel, de meest noordelijke tak van de Rijndelta van Arnhem in Gelderland tot Kampen in Overijssel.

I think my favorite time to photograph is when you have to just put the full beams on.
Is this blue enough for your blue gallery FWT ?
I love the time and in between
The calm inside me
In the space where I can breathe
I believe there is a distance I have wandered
To touch upon the years of reaching out
and reaching in.. holding out holding in
I believe yhis is heaven to no one else but me
And I’ll defend it as long as I can be

Processed from a single RAW image, no HDR or fusion. Lesson of the day: trying to shoot without a tripod in low light conditions with a toddler pushing and pulling you is a real challenge! Truth is, I would've been happy with whatever result... it was a spectacular light show! Enjoy and have a great weekend!!

Welcome to my first upload in 2011. I hopy the new year started well for everyone of you.
Concerning the photo: On our Lake District tour we were heading to Tarn Hows in the morning and came across some beautiful misty landscapes where I took this photograph. These scenes with heavy morning sun and aditional fog are really hard to capture (imo). The OOC picture looks like crap and it took me hours (seriously) to process it to what it's now. And I'm still not happy with it... anyway I'm going to show it...
Better to see it in large so press "L" =)
PS: my last upload is my new buddy icon... yay!
i think i'm growing feathers...

Was cleaning up the hard drive looking back at the year, this is one I wasn’t at all happy with it at the time, but it is kind of growing on me now, see what you think.
I was down here on the way back from work late evening one night in the summer, I had got a few of the three Graces from the front and wanted some light trails, unfortunately being late evening by this point there wasn’t much traffic, or good light, but looking back at this I thought it might be worth sharing, like most shots I did plan to come back later in the year to do it again, with the nights closing you would be able to get a shot earlier with much more dense light trails... it’s still on my list...
The Royal Liver Building is a Grade I listed building located in Liverpool, England. It is sited at the Pier Head and along with the neighbouring Cunard Building and Port of Liverpool Building is one of Liverpool's Three Graces, which line the city's waterfront. It is also part of Liverpool's UNESCO designated World Heritage Maritime Mercantile City.
Opened in 1911, the building is the purpose-built home of the Royal Liver Assurance group, which had been set up in the city in 1850 to provide locals with assistance related to losing a wage-earning relative. One of the first buildings in the world to be built using reinforced concrete, the Royal Liver Building stands at 90 m tall and was, until the construction of St John's Beacon in 1965, the tallest building in the city.
Today the Royal Liver Building is one of the most recognisable landmarks in the city of Liverpool and is home to two fabled Liver Birds that watch over the city and the sea.

First of all, many thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts on my first light painting Love At First Light, which has this evening appeared on the Flickr Blog!
The SOOC version of this shot is below. It's becoming more and more common with the misty weather that my night shots around Rickmansworth (on the edge of London) take on this tequila/nicotine stain from the sodium street lighting (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium-vapor_lamp if you're interested - had a few messages on this front last time I mentioned it!).
Whilst it started off as alluring, I've found it can be a little excessive and overpowering, as shown below. This shot only really came to life after I applied to the lower half of the frame a wholesale desaturation and cooling filter in the white balance.
There's a semi-ironic theme to my last few weeks pictures where the SOOC version needs processing to make it look less processed! This was definitely one of these.
It's a 520 second exposure, taken with the tripod stood on the ice itself. Whilst I crouched, worrying.
Black does boost its impact!
Since it was taken the ice has thawed, and yet, even as I type these words, the mercury is hurtling plumb down into Hades, and the winter cometh once more.
Hope everyone is having a great week - just back after a few days off and catching up now.
After some requests, we will stop and rest a little on that bench...but not for too long: we’re so close to our destination!

Guru Bimbabati Devi is one of the most acclaimed dancers of Manipur. She is the daughter of Guru Kalabati Devi who is a well known name in the world of Classical dance.
Like most Manipuri dances Ras-Lila is associated with Lord Krishna; here you can see Krishna ( Guru Bimbabati ) is playing with Radha & her consorts. I am fan of this dance form - its color, costume, rhythm and swift movement is mesmerizing.
Every year Konark Festival is held at an Open Air Theater where the famous Sun Temple makes the back drop. In front of the 13th century architectural marvel India's best Classical dancers enthrall a large gathering of Desi & International audience for three days. Incredible Experience !
most of the snow has melted already.. almost as quickly as it came. i hope it's not the last of the snow this winter.

Vous avez surement déjà vu ces deux photos sur mon "stream", dans d'autres formats ou teintes.
Deux photos, qui m'ont pas mal permis de me faire la main sur "Lightroom" mais aussi de récupérer quelques hits sur ma galerie, j'avoue :p
Pour clôturer cette série un dernier traitement et un petit récap. de l'ensemble.
"Llightroom" (LR) me permet aujourd'hui de gérer mon travail de post production de A à Z. Si jamais vous débutiez dans la photo et/ou que vous n'aviez pas encore fait votre choix, je vous le recommande!
Merci encore à tous ceux qui m'ont donné leur avis sur ces différents traitements, malgré la répétition!
Très bonne soirée à vous :o)

You've probably already seen these pictures on my "stream", in other sizes or colors.
Two pictures that allowed me to train on "Lightroom" but also get some hit on my gallery, I must admit: p
To close this series the last edition and a small recap. of the whole.
With "Llightroom" (LR) I can now manage my post production work from A to Z. If ever you are just starting in photography and / or that you have not yet made your choice,I recommend it!
Thank you again to everyone who gave me their views on these various treatments, despite the repetition!
Very good evening to you o:)

Another one of the cell/mobile phone pictures from this weekend's hiking. Apologies for the loss of meaningful EXIF data - I'm importing these from my iPhone by email as it is refusing to sync, and for some reason this has stripped the file of the most interesting data.
This was from a really classy non-munro horseshoe just down from the Corran ferry. Whilst the terror-induced ice and snow of the day before (see www.flickr.com/photos/flatworldsedge/5198977853/) ruled out any proper camera kit, I'm reticent that I didn't take the proper stuff on this walk. That said, we were on the hills for 6-7 hours and the last descent was in the gloaming if not the dark. With a proper DSLR, it'd have added at least an hour and maybe tipped things into disaster.
In any event, the iPhone bore up quite well, even if the file doesn't live up to much magnification, especially in the upper reaches of the sky. It does look better pre-upload to Flickr; the first image I've ever had to say that about.

Your past unforgettable
And the big meal around a table
All children you were
Freedom-loving

At the time of chestnuts
In this beautiful village
You who are wise ...

No entiendo nada de setas y nunca me fijo en ellas, pero en esta ocasión quedé impresionada al verlas, me parecieron tan bonitas ahí en medio de la hojarasca, que no pude resistirme a fotografiarlas. Destacaban por su color morado tan intenso brillando bajo los primeros rayos de sol que surgieron tras la lluvia; la diversidad de colores otoñales y el agradable olor a tierra y hojas mojadas inundaron la espesura del bosque, creándose una atmósfera única... realmente fue un momento mágico.

I do not understand anything of mushrooms and I never concentrate on them, but in this occasion I remained impressed on having seen them, they seemed to me to be so nice there in the middle of the fallen leaves that I could not refuse to photograph them. They were standing out for his purple so intense color shining under the first beams of the Sun that arose after the rain, the diversity of autumnal colors and the agreeable smell of land and wet leaves they flooded the thickness of the forest, the only atmosphere being created ... really it was a magic moment.

Non ti auguro un dono qualsiasi,
Ti auguro soltanto quello che i più non hanno.
Ti auguro tempo, per divertirti e per ridere;
se lo impiegherai bene, potrai ricavarne qualcosa.
Ti auguro tempo, per il tuo Fare e il tuo Pensare,
non solo per te stesso, ma anche per donarlo agli altri.
Ti auguro tempo, non per affrettarti e correre,
ma tempo per essere contento.
Ti auguro tempo, non soltanto per trascorrerlo,
ti auguro tempo perché te ne resti:
tempo per stupirti e tempo per fidarti
e non soltanto per guardarlo sull’orologio.
Ti auguro tempo per toccare le stelle
e tempo per crescere, per maturare.
Ti auguro tempo, per sperare nuovamente e per amare.
Non ha più senso rimandare.
Ti auguro tempo per trovare te stesso,
per vivere ogni tuo giorno, ogni tua ora come un dono.
Ti auguro tempo anche per perdonare.
Ti auguro di avere tempo,
tempo per la vita.

La palabra tradición deriva del latín y quiere decir donación o legado. La tradición es un conjunto de costumbres, ritos y usanzas que se transmiten de padres a hijos.
La tradición de un pueblo es aquello que lo identifica y diferencia de los demás, algo propio y profundo. Cada comunidad tiene sus propias tradiciones, las que se manifiestan en el modo de vivir, en el arte y se conservan a través del tiempo.
En Argentina el Día de la Tradición es el 10 de Noviembre, en Memoria de nuestro poeta más tradicional, creador del Martín Fierro: José Hernández.
El "Martín Fierro" de José Hernández ha sido fuente de extracción de refranes, especialmente los "Consejos de Martín Fierro a sus hijos", con la intención de que ellos eviten los males por los que ha pasado su padre, un gaucho que por las circunstancias adversas que debió enfrentar, se convirtió en desertor, perseguido y matrero.
"Consejos de Martín Fierro a sus hijos"
CANTO XXXII (Segunda Parte)
Un padre que da consejos
Más que padre es un amigo,
Ansí como tal les digo
Que vivan con precaución-
Naides sabe en qué rincón
Se oculta el que es su enemigo.
Yo nunca tuve otra escuela
Que una vida desgraciada-
No extrañen si en la jugada
Alguna vez me equivoco-
Pues ha de saber muy poco
Aquél que no aprendió nada.
Hay hombres que de su cencia
Tienen la cabeza llena;
Hay sabios de todas menas,
Mas digo sin ser muy ducho:
Es mejor que aprender mucho
El aprender cosas buenas.
No aprovechan los trabajos
Si no han de enseñarnos nada-
El hombre, de una mirada
Todo ha de verlo al momento-
El primer conocimiento
Es conocer cuándo enfada.
Su esperanza no la cifren
Nunca en corazón alguno-
En el mayor infortunio
Pongan su confianza en Dios-
De los hombres, sólo en uno,
Con gran precaución en dos-
Las faltas no tienen límites
Como tienen los terrenos-
Se encuentran en los más buenos,
Y es justo que les prevenga;-
Aquél que defectos tenga,
Disimule los ajenos-
Al que es amigo, jamás
Lo dejen en la estacada,
Pero no le pidan nada
Ni lo aguarden todo de él-
Siempre el amigo más fiel
es una conducta honrada.
Ni el miedo ni la codicia
Es bueno que a uno le asalten-
Ansí no se sobresalten
por los bienes que perezcan,
Al rico nunca le ofrezcan
Y al pobre nunca le falten.
Bien lo pasa hasta entre Pampas
El que respeta a la gente-
El hombre ha de ser prudente
Para librarse de enojos-
Cauteloso entre los flojos
Moderado entre valientes.
El trabajar es la ley
Porque es preciso alquirir-
No se expongan a sufrir
Una triste situación-
Sangra mucho el corazón
Del que tiene que pedir.
Debe trabajar el hombre
Para ganarse su pan;
Pues la miseria en su afán
De perseguir de mil modos-
Llama en la puerta de todos
Y entra en la del haragán.
A ningún hombre amenacen
Porque naides se acobarda-
Poco en conocerlo tarda
Quien amenaza imprudente-
Que hay un peligro presente
Y otro peligro que aguarda.
Para vencer un peligro,
Salvar de cuelquier abismo,
Por experiencia lo afirmo,
Más que el sable y que la lanza-
Suele servir la confianza
Que el hombre tiene en sí mismo.
Nace el hombre con la astucia
Que ha de servirle de guía-
Sin ella sucumbiría,
Pero sigún mi esperiencia-
Se vuelve en unos prudencia
Y en los otros picardía.
Aprovecha la ocasión
El hombre que es diligente-
Y téngalo bien presente,
Si al compararla no yerro-
La ocasión es como el fierro
Se ha de machacar caliente.
Muchas cosas pierde el hombre
Que a veces las vuelve a hallar-
Pero les debo enseñar
Y es bueno que lo recuerden-
Si la vergüenza se pierde
Jamás se vuelve a encontrar.
Los hermanos sean unidos,
Porque ésa es la ley primera.
Tengan unión verdadera
En cualquier tiempo que sea-
Porque si entre ellos pelean
Los devoran los de ajuera.
Respeten a los ancianos,
El burlarlos no es hazaña-
Si andan entre gente estraña
Deben ser muy precavidos-
Pues por igual es tenido
Quien con malos se acompaña.
La cigüeña cuando es vieja
Pierde la vista, -y procurar
Cuidarla en su edad madura
Todas sus hijas pequeñas-
Apriendan de las cigüeñas
Este ejemplo de ternura.
Si les hacen una ofensa,
Aunque la echen en olvido,
Vivan siempre prevenidos;
Pues ciertamente sucede-
Que hablará muy mal de ustedes
Aquel que los ha ofendido.
El que obedeciendo vive
Nunca tiene suerte blanda-
Mas con su soberbia agranda
El rigor en que padece-
Obedezca el que obedece
Y será bueno el que manda.
Procuren de no perder
Ni el tiempo ni la vergüenza-
Como todo hombre que piensa
Proceder siempre con juicio-
Y sepan que ningún vicio
Acaba donde comienza.
Ave de pico encorvado
Le tiene al robo afición-
Pero el hombre de razón
No roba jamás un cobre-
Pues no es vergüenza ser pobre
Y es vergüenza ser ladrón.
El hombre no mate al hombre
Ni pelee por fantasía-
Tiene en la desgracia mía
Un espejo en qué mirarse-
Saber el hombre guardarse
Es la gran sabiduría.
La sangre que se redama
No se olvida hasta la muerte-
La impresión es de tal suerte,
Que a mi pesar no lo niego-
Cai como gotas de fuego
En el alma del que la vierte.
Es siempre en toda ocasión
El trago el pior enemigo-
Con cariño se los digo,
Recuérdenlo con cuidado-
Aquél que ofende embriagado
Merece doble castigo-.
Si se arma algún revolutis
Siempre han de ser los primeros-
No se muestren altaneros
Aunque la razón les sobre-
En la barba de los pobres
Aprienden pa ser barberos.
Si entriegan su corazón
A alguna mujer querida,
No le hagan una partida
Que la ofienda a la mujer-
Siempre los ha de perder
Una mujer ofendida.
Procuren si son cantores,
El cantar con sentimiento,
Ni tiemplen el instrumento
Por sólo el gusto de hablar-
Y acostúmbrense a cantar
En cosas de jundamento.
Y les doy estos consejos
Que me han costado alquirirlos,
Porque deseo dirijirlos,
Pero no alcanza mi cencia-
Hasta darles la prudencia
Que precisan pa seguirlos.
Estas cosas y otras muchas,
Medité en mis soledades-
Sepan que no hay falsedades
Ni error en estos consejos-
Es de la boca del viejo
De ande salen las verdades.
Consejos de Martín Fierro | Consejos del Viejo Vizcacha
Todos los argentinos y extranjeros que así lo deseen pueden ir agregándose a la mateada.
Son todos bienvenidos .

O ciclamen é umas das plantas envasadas mais comercializadas. Sua folhagem é muito ornamental, verde escura com manchas mais claras. As flores são seu diferencial, de pétalas invertidas, podem se apresentar de diversas cores, entre branco, vermelho, rosa, salmão e combinações diferentes. Apresenta variedades grandes e pequenas e de flores com bordas crespas. Sua beleza delicada confere sofisticação e romantismo aos ambientes internos.

Sunday before last, I popped out for a loaf and came back with a pile of colours and shapes.. what do you call that, a beachscape?
Here's another, I think one of my favourites, I love the pools of gold and the colours caught on the sandscape, is that one a new word?..
..Probably not, but you can see the pipeline from earlier shots to the left and the wind farm to the right all pointed out by golden paths and pools, and that leading path of colour catching sand, along with a few of Anthony Gormleys 100 Ironmen.
I've some more, and will no doubt share at some point shortly, but with my 40th birthday tomorrow!, how old is that!, maybe I'll find something slightly different over the next couple of days to show, if only to give you a break...
Oh if anyone at Canon wants to have early hands on a MKIII 5D, that would make a great present for a 40'th don’t you think?....
...but back to reality, I can look forward to using my new lighting gear which my better half got me, so that should be fun.
Comments, faves and constructive crit., always very welcome, graphics not so much

Unlike the tricky and lengthy noise reduction for www.flickr.com/photos/flatworldsedge/5126748478/ in this case I just maxed Lightroom's noise reduction and dropped the clarity. It's a 226 second exposure (F/22 ¦ ISO 100) from one of the bird hides on Stocker's Lake in Rickmansworth Aquadrome.
There were hundreds of ducks floating about in the foreground, but none made sufficient impression against the bright reflected sky over the long exposure. Hope everyone is having a great week!
