Tanah Lot Temple, Bali, Indonesia
Pura Tanah Lot (Tanah Lot Temple) is Hindu Temple.
Located about 20 km from Denpasar, the temple sits on a huge offshore rock which has been shaped continuously over the years by the ocean tide.
Tanah Lot means "Land in the Middle of the Sea" (in Balinese language) is a famous rock formation off the Indonesian island of Bali.
Note: It is a fantastic place to view beautiful dramatic sunsets. Every day at dusk, tourists throng the area to witness the magnificent silhouette of the temple against the glowing horizon.

This shot was taken with the assistance of Mr.Buyie =)
Yeah! We know this is a boring shot. And we know a lot of people have done this before. We weren't even sure how to do it but finally figured it out. It took us about 50 shots to get it just right.
For this shot, my 580 EXII speedlite was used as a master on Buyie's 40D, while Buyie's 430EXII was used as a slave, put at the left side of the glass, and point it straight to the glass.
We used a black-coloured briefcase for the backround and a a piece of glass for the base.
A credit to Bro. Azli and Bro. Emran for the info of strobist setting.
Please see also Buyie's shot for the same object HERE...

I couldn't believe my eyes when I emerged from the dimly lit interior of Notre Dame --- after enjoying the soprano singing vespers --- and walked into the soft rain showers of the evening. What a wonderful surprise to be greeted by this illuminated sky full of rich color! The shining pavement reflecting a glorious sunset shone against the dark buildings, and people with their umbrellas were in silhouette, framed by the illuminated lamposts. Paris between day and night! It was one of those moments when you just grab your camera and do your best to capture the magic! .
Lorsque je sortais - apres vepres - des tenebres de Notre Dame, je me suis trouvee devant ce tableau presque invraisemblable. Il avait plu, et le coucher du soleil rayonnait une lumiere rosatre et doree parmi les nuages qui dansaient. Quelle belle surprise inattendue!

This morning was less warm than the last few days, with a promise that the day will be more pleasant as well. Was out in the garden checking on how some things fared in the recent heat wave. This grouping was looking quite well so I thought I'd capture it and share it here.
The Echeveria 'Gilva Spreader', in the foreground, I've shared about before - not as many flowers as we've had previously, but a better showing than expected this year (the weather has been so strange). To the left is Iris foetidissima 'Variegata' - a nice, tough, persistent clump of handsome foliage. Behind it, in front of the large terra-cotta pot, is Calamintha nepeta - we've seem this a lot growing wild in the South of France. My plants came from the late Wayne Roderick, a local plantsman and plant collector. I really enjoy its fragrant, minty foliage.
To the right of the Calamintha is a pot of hybrid Agengel or Pansy-Faced Pelargonium 'Angie' (from our friend Robin at geraniaceae.com). Below 'Angie' is a small, blue-gray carpet of Sedum rupestre. I also grow the very closely related S. sediforme, but S. rupestre is distinctive in its flower stems which emerge arched over like an umbrella handle before straightening up when in flower. Between this Sedum and the Echeveria first mentioned, is the foliage of Stachys chrysantha.
In the rear is a large plant of Lavandula dentata and a small potted specimen of L. viridis. The succulent in the top left corner is Crassula perfoliata var. heterotricha.

I dedicate this image to my father, who has been the light of my professional life.
Who can give the sun, the permission to shine. Not even the darkest of clouds can hide the brilliance radiating out of the heart of our Solar System. Such is its power.
In the same way, who can hide the brilliance of the light in our heart. No matter how strongly the mind and its patterns cloud it, the brilliant jewel will continue to shine. So connect with the wind, and blow away the clouds. Let the sun in your heart shine through.

While I was in visiting War Eagle Mills & Farm in NW Arkansas, I could see where the road disappeared through some trees and over the hill. I just couldn't resist attempting to capture what I was seeing. After I finished with shooting by the bridge, I jumped in the rental car and drove up the road a few hundred feet and then parked on the side of road...stepped out and walked into the center...and then snapped a few off. With some minor alterations of the lighting with my ReDynamix plug-in in Photoshop, I've been able to recapture the incredible scene that I experienced while standing in the middle of that rural road.

This is a three shot "Long Exposure" HDR and there was very little light inside, but no foot traffic and my tripod with me made it possible. Far from perfect, but was good fun.
The road at the end angled slightly up is still covered with snow. Plus, this tunnel is shared by nature walkers in the day and animals during the night.
I hope everyone is having a great Friday today and looking forward to the weekend.

All the macros and closeups I have been taking lately are making me feel a bit claustrophobic. So here is something different :-)
About this photo:
This is a scan of a 1997 (I was 13) photo from Isle Royale, Michigan. Isle Royale is the largest island in Lake Superior and the second largest island in the Great Lakes.
I am not sure exactly where this image was taken. It may actually be on Ryan island, but that still counts as Isle Royale and here is why: Isle Royale has several interior lakes, and many of those lakes have interior islands. So, your trivia tidbit for today is that Ryan Island is the name of the largest island in the largest lake (Siskiwit) of the largest island (Isle Royale) of the largest lake (Superior) in the world. I bet you wanted to know that, right?

About the process:
This is a scan of a drugstore print from an ancient camera. I boosted the colors and contrast in Photoshop using high-contrast overlays.
To answer a question: I have an HP scanner (Officejet J6450) and I scanned at 300ppi

#107/365 Post Process Fridays episode #12. This week features an epic photo from PapekPhotography. I mean how epic can you get...beautiful old barn in the middle of the green field with uber clouds at sunset. For this one I really pushed up the colors, since I was going for a fantasy'esque story feel. I think I was a little influenced by PapekPhotography PP'd version he posted couple weeks back because they are very similar. Let's see who will be the first to get the title reference.

This bicycle belongs to a friend of mine named Trent. He traveled down from Vancouver (by plane) with his bicycle because, yes, he is totally that hardcore.
This shot was taken near 21st & Mission, just underneath the big "Mission" sign.

The Blossoming continues into its fourth day. In order to blossom into our true potential, we need to open up. We cannot expect the lotus to bloom, while still being a closed bud.
The same holds true for us. We cannot expect to transform into our full potentials if we do not open up to greater possibilities that walk in front of us. A big reason we remain closed is fear. And fear comes from darkness.
Just as the sunlight gently caresses the lotus flower to bloom, we need the inner light to overcome our fears and step out of the darkness. Then our potential will begin to shine.
More to come in this series...watch this space.

We were in NYC but was still cold for a walk in Central Park.
We drove through Long Is, NY and ended up on this enchanting island. (More pics to come!)
This lighthouse is a 167 foot Stone tower that began operation in 1858 to replace the 89 foot tower originally built in 1827.
I think this is the building where one scene(beginning portion) in
"National Treasure 2 : Book Of Secrets " ( starring Nicolas Cage, Justin Bartha, Diane Kruger, Jon Voight, Helen Mirren and Ed Harris) was shot.
The scene at the mail office (supposedly in a Massachusetts town).
Correct me if I'm wrong.
#104/365 War is Hell, specially when it's fought on freshly cut grass. Two night shots in a row....what's gotten into me! While taking this I could hear my neighbors saying "what was that?...Did you see that?". I guess they noticed the 2 flash units going off every couple of seconds. This was actually a test for the new lens I got for the d40...the 35mm f1.8 AF-S.

HAPPY TAMIL NEW YEARS DAY.
This confirms my view that the way we periceive things is highly subjective.
While we look at it as a beautiful Lotus bud, the dragon fly here looks at it as a mere landing pad before it goes on to its next location.
While I was focussing on photographing this bud, this dragonfly just popped into the frame and landed on it. I clicked a couple of shots and called out to my photography partner Prabhakaran to ask him to shoot some...but it was too late. The dragon fly had flown away.
Sometimes the angel of luck is by your side. You just have to thank her, and wish that she visits you once again.
Photographed with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, and Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8 IS USM L Lens and Canon EF 2X Extender. Handheld. Again a lot of you may think its a macro shot done with a macro lens. It was shot from about 10 feet away from the subject, at 400mm.

WOW. Just...wow. I have made it 365 days. And yes, I am going to say all of the cliched things that people say about 365. I started out a year ago to challenge myself to commit to something, to finish it, and--on the way--gain a better self-image after a quarter-life crisis left me in a bit of a bad state mentally.
All of this was wildly successful. I have learned so much about myself, and photography, and about myself as I relate to photography. I now not only know that I've found my calling in life, but I know that I am still beautiful (my perspective only, of course) as I get older. I learned so much technically about photography from all of you wonderful people--and your support has been AMAZING. This was not meant to be an ego-stroking adventure but you all gave me so many lovely comments, favs & encouragement.
I am not going to do another 365 of portraits--at least not for a while--and I am going to celebrate this milestone by taking a bit of a well-deserved Flickr vacation. Not a total break from it, but I will be posting less for a while, and spending time with the family that I neglected so severely over the past year in order to make this happen.
So again--THANK YOU to everyone. I could not have done this without you and I am not going away. Happy Easter and have a drink for me, wherever you are tonight! I will be having some in your honor as well. ;-)

Well, after quite a long break, I am back! After 2 years of somehow continuous intensive 'flickering', I needed that long break, and I have also decided to slow down the flickr pace. From now on I will be posting less, and won't be able to comment back on all my visitors as I used to do before. I apologize in advance.
On other challenges, Flickr access from the UAE is totally blocked now, so I have to use a paid VPN service (the famous Firefox 'Access Flickr' add-on does not work anymore). The reason Flickr is blocked here is because of all the porn content.
Anyway, it's good to be back and I look forward catching (slowly) on your streams!

Una de las cosas que más disfruté de Caracas fue viajar en metro.
Porque me sentía una más, me sentía parte.
Porque me permitía observar la cotidianeidad de la gente.
Porque era como vivir un pedacito de la vida de mis amigos, ya que lo usan constantemente.
