Lavoro, lavoro e sempre lavoro.
Dal suo viso, si vede quanto sia disumano il suo lavoro.
In silenzio lui continua ad eseguiri i suoi trasporti.
Forse, non ci rendiamo conto, ma noi siamo diversi !!!..
Papa
Brousse le Château
Est pour Toi le plus Beau
Même en ce jour de brume
Si loin du bitume
Ton passé inoubliable
Et les grands repas, autour d’une table
Tous, enfants vous étiez
Epris de Liberté
Maintenant, tes souvenirs reviennent
Au temps des châtaignes
Dans ce si beau village
Toi qui est bien sage …

Broughton Castillo
Es el más hermoso para usted
Incluso en este día de niebla
Lejos de betún
Su pasado inolvidable
Y la gran comida alrededor de una mesa
Los niños que fueron
Amante de la libertad
Ahora, sus recuerdos vuelven
En el momento de castañas
En este hermoso pueblo
Tú que eres sabio ...

Broughton Castle
Is the most Beautiful for You
Even in this day of fog
So far from bitumen
Your past unforgettable
And the big meal around a table
All children you were
Freedom-loving
Now, your memories come back
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.

Re-posted on the annual day of this album coming out originally posted in 2010. On the 13 August 2019 Led Zeppelin Instagram showcased the original artwork from the iconic album featured in the 50th Anniversary book 'Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin'. They also include details that I was unaware of like who took the photograph. This post has been very popular with 107,500 views as of 25 February 2021.
What follows is my observation in seeking out the location of this iconic album cover and further design and album details updated.
Whilst in New York this year it was a must that I find the tenement block that featured on my favorite and Led Zeppelin's biggest album Physical Graffiti. When I got back home I set about changing my photographic view to match the cover artwork. On the web it is widely known that the building is 5 stories high, but on the cover the building has only 4 stories. When I started to compare my photograph and the album artwork I soon realised that as well as the 4th floor being removed, artist Peter Corriston also added a number of further elements that include extra tiles, faces and sides of the building. Part of the top right railing balcony was left out for a whole window frame to be visible. See my notes below. I have just amended the Wikipedia listing with these new findings.
Artist Peter Corriston worked with designer Mike Doud to convince Led Zeppelin manager, Peter Grant, that the cover art idea was a good one. Unlikely as it may seem, the concept was itself heavily influenced by the design for Jose Feliciano’s album, Compartments (1973). The new version was created by using a photograph of a New York apartment block, situated at 96-98 St. Marks Place.
Peter Corriston recalls: "We walked around the city for a few weeks looking for the right building. I had come up with a concept for the band based on the tenement, people living there and moving in and out. The original (vinyl) album featured the building with the windows cut out on the cover and various sleeves that could be placed under the cover, filling the windows with the album title, track information or liner notes".
The tenements were shot by New York photographer Elliott Erwitt. The front-cover shot was taken in daylight and the back was taken at night. Sepia prints were made for the outer package and they and the inner bags were then hand-coloured by Maurice Tate - the best hand-retoucher in London at that time. Jimmy Page described the cover as "A peeping tom's delight". The title was coined by Page to convey the amount of physical energy and creative writing that had gone into producing the recordings for the album.
The building is still standing today. In the basement is a second-hand clothes shop. The name of the shop is, naturally, Physical Graffiti.
Although Physical Graffiti was originally designed to be the debut release on the Swan Song label, the album’s elaborate cover art, which features a New York City tenement with interchangeable images visible through the building’s die-cut windows, forced a delay. The release of Bad Company thus took the Swan Song debut honour all the way to the top of the Billboard album chart. Within six months Physical Graffiti also hit that peak, giving Led Zeppelin another number one album, in the week of March 22, 1975. The centrepiece of the album is a song called Kashmir. Despite the fact that Stairway To Heaven is the band’s best-known song, Kashmir is generally considered to be the ultimate Led Zeppelin track.
An eclectic gallery of celebrities and icons inhabit the building and they can be spied through the windows. Amongst the tenants therein are Lee Harvey Oswald, Neil Armstrong, Elizabeth Taylor, King Kong, Charles Atlas, Queen Elizabeth, Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s portrait of Proserpine, the Virgin Mary and Laurel & Hardy. Perhaps I should do a second version with these figures in the windows or with the lettering.
Peter Corriston lives and works in the heart of Greenwich Village.

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 .

Para mi uno de los sitios más emblemáticos, hermosos, bonitos, etc de Bizkaia. El otro día al ir en busca de los frentes que estaban previstos, decidí aprovechar para sacar una foto de esta zona, pero desde otra perspectiva más alta. Al final entrando por aqui y por allá, consegui la altura suficiente como para englobar a Gaztelugatxe y Aketxe con las tormentas de fondo y desde una vista un poco más "aerea".
Gracias a todos por vuestros comentarios y faves.

Pilgrimage church of St. Coloman near Schwangau and the famous royal palaces Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau Castle.
Die barocke Colomanskirche liegt bei Schwangau in Bayern. Sie entstand in ihrer heutigen Form im 17. Jahrhundert auf einem Vorläuferbau, der zu Ehren des heiligen Koloman errichtet wurde. Der irische Pilger soll im Sommer 1012 bei seiner Pilgerreise ins Heilige Land an dieser Stelle gerastet haben. Die Kirche ist wegen ihrer Lage am Fuß der Schwangauer Berge und der Nähe zum weltbekannten Schloss Neuschwanstein eine der bekanntesten Sehenswürdigkeiten Bayerns.
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!

The competition brief for this 180m long bridge, one of a series of new pedestrian crossings commissioned for London’s Docklands, was unusual. It called for a bridge with temporary and permanent elements - and the ability to open for shipping. Our design achieved this through two identical spans, one fixed and the other openable, which in its original configuration created an s-shaped crossing between South Quay and Heron Quays. As planned, the northern span has now been removed and the southern half swung into a new orientation spanning the partly infilled dock. The simple elements of the bridge – the curved lines of the oak-clad deck, two raking masts and the shifting arrays of cable stays – create a visual dynamic, accentuating the kinetics of the design and contrasting sharply with the uniform urban grid beyond.

Actually I wanted to give him some change, but when he made eye contact with my camera, he ran across the street like there was no tomorrow.
Anyhow, I actually ran into him again today, but this time he was with his mother. Camera was in my bag, so I guess they wern't intimidated. 20THB for each of them.

Thank you for visiting.
I Laghi di Fusine sono costituiti da due laghi, il Lago Superiore ed il Lago Inferiore; situati sul territorio del comune di Tarvisio, sono considerati fra i più belli esempi di lago alpino.
I laghi, di origine glaciale, sono collocati in un anfiteatro calcareo creato dalla dorsale del Picco di Mezzodì del Monte Mangart. La valle, che corre parallela al confine italo-sloveno, dal 1971 è un'area protetta, con il nome di Parco naturale dei Laghi di Fusine.
Il lago superiore si trova a 929 m s.l.m., ha una profondità massima di 10 m ed una superficie di 9 ha; il lago inferiore si trova a 924 m s.l.m., ha una profondità massima di 25 m ed una superficie di 13,5 ha. Nelle vicinanze del lago inferiore si trovano anche altri due minuscoli specchi d'acqua, chiamati laghi piccoli. Il lago Superiore alimenta il lago Inferiore per via sotterranea e quest'ultimo alimenta l'emissario di entrambi i laghi.
One of the moments that you grab the camera and start shooting , shooting fast , moving positions , changing lenses and shooting … because you know – I will be gone soon . We had less than 15 minutes ( I just checked ) and 120 images later – here we go . Funny , this is right beside Hug Point , just south from Cannon Beach . We didn't really look on the beach . When I was looking at GEO tags, I found more info about it … it's amazing … next time
Honorable Mention at the 2011 North Shore Challenge , 27 clubs from BC and Yukon , 10 images per club .
I shot 8 hours x 15 minute sub exposures of M31 Andromeda using a Hydrogen Alpha (12nm) filter on the 3rd October with the idea of combining with my color image of M31. However as my RGB image now already has more than enough HII popping out all over I decided to shelve the idea because the end result looks just insane.
Date of Shoot 3rd October 2010
Camera: modified Canon 5D Mark II

Anche questa immagine, come quella precedente, farà parte del “reportage/racconto” che ho in preparazione dal titolo “L'Innocenza Rubata”.
Il bimbo ripreso si trova presso una casa di accoglienza per bambini maltrattati e purtroppo anche lui ha subito maltrattamenti dai genitori che lo obbligavano a chiedere l’elemosina per le strade e se a fine giornata non corrispondeva loro una somma prestabilita veniva picchiato e lasciato digiuno per punizione.
Adesso sta molto meglio si è avvicinato ad un ordine religioso la cui sua intenzione è quello di studiare diventare sacerdote per aiutare tanti bambini.
Volevo nuovamente rinnovare il mio più caloroso ringraziamento alle sempre cordiali tutrici che sono state gentilissime e affettuose di cui non mi stancherò di evidenziare l’amore con cui svolgono il loro impegno verso questi bimbi e un particolare ringraziamento anche e soprattutto a Suor Madre Serafina.

Even this picture, like the previous one, will be part of "reportage / story" I have in preparation entitled “Stolen Innocence”.
The child is taken up at a shelter for abused children and, unfortunately, he has been mistreated by their parents who forced him to beg on the streets and at the end of the day if they did not fit a set amount was beaten and left for fasting punishment.
Now it's much better approached in a religious order whose intention is to study to become a priest to help many children.
I again reiterate my warmest thanks to the always friendly tutor who were kind and affectionate that I shall continue to highlight the love with which they carry out their commitment to these children and a special thank you also and especially to Mother Sister Serafina.

Improvvisa vocazione
.
Uno strano sogno mi avvolge,
s'impadronisce della mia anima,
ma improvvisamente sento vivere
in me una voglia ardente.
Il mio sguardo è vago, sperduto, mai
più non vogliono le mie mani toccare
il buio, quel buio che han già abbracciato,
per tanto per troppo tempo…ho sofferto.
E’ bagnato di tante lacrime passate
il mio cuore non è più quello di un tempo,
in quella vita vissuta male, in quella gioia
tanto pretesa, ma, mai avuta.
Il mio sguardo incupito adesso trova
uno spiraglio, una nuova luce,
quella grande luce dove i pensieri assillanti,
strazianti oramai sono....assenti.
…………………………………………..Luigi Mirto

Sudden vocation
.
A strange dream surrounds me,
she takes over my soul,
but suddenly I feel alive
a burning desire in me.
My eyes are vague, lost, but
no longer want to touch my hands
darkness, this darkness that have already embraced
for so much, for too long ...... i have suffered.
E 'wet past so many tears,
my heart is no longer what it once
in that life lived badly, that joy
as alleged, but never had.
My eyes darkened now, share
a crack, a new light,
that great light where the troubling thoughts,
harrowing now I am ... ... .... absent
…………………………………………..Luigi Mirto

That all persons who have a noble heart and sincere love all the children of the world as if they were their own and to respect them as they deserve and as it should be treated .... with much love.
The first day of our workshop this weekend was very very wet. The second day, we were treated to sunshine and rainbows. :) The Pacific Northwest is about as indecisive as it can be when it comes to weather and that is one of the reasons I love it here. If you have lived here for any length of time you have seen it rain, snow & hail, during a severe windstorm and then turn to beautiful blue sky 5 minutes later. Our last stop of the workshop was Lower Lewis River Falls, one of, if not my favorite waterfall. We started at the top and encouraged those in attendance to make their way across the water to the top of the falls even though the water was running pretty good from the recent rains. It took a little while to coax them over to the prime locations near the edge of the waterfall but I am very persuasive and in the end we all made it safe and sound.
After shooting our fill at the top it was time to drop down below the waterfall. If it is your first time visiting this waterfall and it is running good like it was this day, dropping down INTO the water below doesn't seem like a very good idea. Again, I am persuasive and willing to lead by example so I jumped in and everyone followed. I also do everything possible to make people laugh and have a good time on our workshops and on this trip I did that by falling face first into the water. Just as we reached the bottom of the falls the sun dropped below the clouds that had been keeping it at bay and it lit up the entire waterfall blowing every highlight like candles on a birthday cake. Zeb and I used this as a perfect example of managing highlights and shadows using filters and camera controls. The rainbow you see in the picture would appear only when the sun was the brightest and when it did, the direct light hitting the fallen tree cast a giant shadow across the waterfall. That is when the million dollar question came....
What would you do with that tree shadow Aaron?
After quickly assessing the situation and realizing that even all 240 pounds of me wasn't going to budge that tree and that I may have to admit to this photographer that I did not have an answer for them I realized it was a great time to talk about image blending. I explained that sometimes a simple blending of images was all you needed to find a workaround to something like this so I suggested that we take one shot when the sun went behind the clouds and then a second when it was it's brightest and we would blend only the wall of rock on the left that contained the rainbow into the final image.
I took a couple shots of my own to see if I could actually pull it off and the high contrast caused by the direct light made for an interesting image in my opinion. Thanks again to everyone that came this weekend and thank you for your feedback and constant support of us and our workshops. Zeb and I both really enjoy each and every one of them and have a great time meeting so many great people and helping to inspire young photographers. Our 2011 schedule is finalized and a couple of the workshops have already begun to fill up for next year. Check out the blog for more details.

More than you probably want to know:
The 26.2 mile Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon has been held each year in early October since 1982. The MTCM is called “The Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America." The race starts in downtown Minneapolis close to the Metrodome, travels South through some very scenic city lakes (Lake of the Isles, Lake Calhoun, Lake Harriet, Lake Nokomis), then goes along the Mississippi River bluffs before crossing into Saint Paul, up historic Summit Avenue to the Cathedral of St. Paul and then down a little hill to the Finnish line on the grounds of the Minnesota State Capitol. This year over 5,000 volunteers and 250,000 spectators cheered along 4,085 incredable10 mile racers and 7,753 amazing marathoners.
If your wondering about the name, Medtronic is a locally headquared medical device giant that has been gracious enough sponsor the TCM since 2006 – so they get top billing.

Another night, another long exposure. I attempted a 666 second exposure, but it turns out all this time I have been devoting to photography instead of Xbox Live has had a detrimental effect on my dexterity. Thus it is in fact ended up a 667 second, or "Neighbour of the Beast" exposure. Whilst that would have made a neat title for a image of suburbia, I then found out you can have too much of a good thing even at midnight, and so I went instead for this slightly darker 397 second exposure.
The lighting is all in camera; the WB correction for the fluorescent lights of the town transforming to this incredible peach. It was an extremely windy night, so the full six minutes worth of cloud moment was immense, creating this rather pleasing aurora effect.
Details: 397 seconds ¦ f/16 ¦ ISO 100.
Update: Explored #63. Many thanks to everyone who has commented, fav'ed and viewed. I massively appreciate the attention and insights offered. Thanks to all!
Ieri, per la prima volta, ho fatto i muffins.
gh. :D
Me tanto soddisfatta!
Sono venuti buonissimi (a detta non solo mia, ma di tutti gli "invitati" al Muffin Party :D)!!!
Quelle formine a cuoricino mi hanno fatto davvero perdere la testa... E cosa c'è di meglio, per una PAUSA TESI, di un "dolcissimo" impiego come questo? :)
p.s.: ho provato il 50mm.
Ora me lo sogno tutte le notti.
