Thanks Chris for the explore link!
What:
My lame attempt at an abstract image with a hint of crappy bokeh tossed in.
Where:
Granville Street Mall
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
When:
Near midnight after a snow storm last month
Why:
Roaming the streets downtown just after a snow storm last month with a couple buddies taking some night shots.
I see a lot of great abstract images from you guys here on Flickr and wish I was able to "see" them as easily as so many of you do. I guess it it something you need to train yourself to do but I seem to just have an eye for the "big" picture and not a tiny little scene.
One exercise that I read about somewhere is to put a prime lens (non-zoom) lens on your camera and just shoot with that for the day. This will help train you to be able to "see" with that particular lens.
Anyway, this is a pretty lame shot taken just before the night lights shot I posted last night. I was going through my archives yesterday and realized that I had never posted anything from that night. I'm a lazy bastard and saw this shot with some bokeh in it and new I could copy some tags and info from the last shot for this one, so here you go :-)
I mentioned it before but I just can't get over the image quality from this cheap "nifty-fifty" lens. If you own a Nikon, Canon or Pentax (maybe the others too?) go out and spend the $100 and pick up one of these lenses!
PP info:
B&W conversion done in NIK Software Silver Efex Pro. I used the Kodak T-Max film emulation for a little nostalgic effect. I used to use that film when I first got into photography in high-school. Mmmm... I still remember getting high off of the fumes from the chemicals in the dark-room :-)
What I learned:
Wear a big coat to protect your camera from the snow when you aren't shooting. Also bring lots of little lens wipes.
You:
I appreciate all critiques, comments, tips, questions & faves!
View LARGE to see the faux film grain!

Explore Front Page 17/02/09 - thank you!
I was first tagged by Christian et Cie then by Thierry la Fronde, so I feel I don't really have a choice here... ;-) That's a fun game, I admit (because I learned a lot about my contacts), but I would never consider being tagged alone, as my partner in crime helps a lot with the pictures I post here. I'm talking about David of course (Birdman)... ;-)
So here are 16 random things about us (there will be less to say about me):
1. I'm 4 years older than David. Yeah, I know how to pick them! I spotted him in Cuba on 26 December 2003. What do you know... He was travelling with a friend but ended spending more time with me (sorry John!). ;-)
2. We live in Bishop's Stortford in Hertfordshire, England, a pleasant little town close to Stansted airport (convenient for our travels). People often comment about the amount we travel. I suppose it's become a bit of an addiction as it's easy and cheap for us to reach many destinations in Europe on 'no-frills' budget airlines (and sometimes the flights are even free! Not too expensive when you book an hotel with your Airmiles).
3. I used to be a legal secretary who always wanted to be a graphic artist. Now I'm a legal secretary who would like to be a professional photographer. David is a technologist who invents recipes for polymers, glues and all those fascinating things that you can buy in a tube at B&Q. As a teenager, he wanted to become a make-up artist for horror movies... oh dear! He used to ‘entertain’ his parents by entering the room with fake flesh wounds, missing limbs and eyes hanging out on stalks.
He tried that with me once, lying on the kitchen floor with ketchup on his jeans and a bit of hotdog on the floor, pretending he'd chopped off a finger. I was not impressed! I just stepped over him and went to the loo. Since then he says I'm very insensitive!
4. I'm not a sporty person (I much prefer my chair in front of the PC) as I feel I'm kind of jinxed: someone once threw a dart in my forearm, then at the 'school's Olympics', someone threw a discus into the back of my head, then later on it was a pool ball in the forehead, then my cousin tried to drown me under a rowing boat... David, on the other hand, is a football maniac and Manchester United fan. He played regularly up until a few months ago, but kept coming home broken after each game. "I'm too old, he said!". (Oops! Update here – He says he's going to try again this Friday evening!)
5. As you probably have realised by now, David is a keen birdwatcher. This fits well with my photography, as we get to see a lot of places I wouldn't normally think of visiting (such as the Scilly Isles). While he chases birds around, I have fun with my Canon! David has seen 407 species of birds in the UK, God knows how many worldwide...
6. What kind of music do we like? Well, that's not easy to answer. I remember the first two albums I bought at 13: Dark Side of the Moon and Saturday Night Fever... Yeah... ;-) A short while after that I bought the first five albums of Led Zep, as well as Abba and Beatles albums. But lets say that for a long time, you could classify me as a Rocker, as my gang and I were into Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc. Today I'm more into easy listening stuff, and I really like Amy Winehouse! ;-) As for David, he also likes all the above and Rush (a Canadian band... yeh!). His favourite album is Grace by Jeff Buckley.
7. David plays the guitar and sings (pretty well!) He should have joined a band when he was young but was always too lazy (some things never change)! ;-) Now he just plays for his own amusement. I'm the only person who ever hears him play (and sing) these days, what a shame! At least it gives him something to do while I play Flickr!
8. We both like good movies, especially on a lazy Sunday morning when the weather's too bad to go out to play! Our all time favourites are the French classics Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources, by Marcel Pagnol. Other favourites include:
Anik: Frida, Gandhi, Catch me if you can, Forrest Gump and C.R.A.Z.Y. (a Québec movie that depicts what Québec was like when I grew up).
David: The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption, Twelve Monkeys, American Beauty, Midnight Cowboy, March of the penguins (oh boy ... does he love March of the penguins!...)
9. Thanks to **Gwen**, I have discovered an author I really like these days, and I'm talking about Welsh novelist Ken Follett. One day Gwen suggested I read "Pillars of the Earth". It took me forever, but I finally read it in French (Les Piliers de la terre). I simply adored it. Then I read the 'sequel' (in English), World without End. David is now reading this but he keeps complaining that the book is too heavy!!!
10. Our current car is a gold coloured Peugeot 307 (which I chose by the way!). David does not like it much. It's an automatic, which I insisted we buy instead of the sports car he wanted! Anyway, being a Canadian, apparently I'm only allowed to drive automatics around here. David would be OK with that if only I would actually drive... but I don't! I never got used to the damn roundabouts and the narrowness of the roads in this country. To make things worse, I still need the GPS just to go to the grocery store, and I still manage to bump the curb every time (that's probably because I drive with my two eyes shut and I scream all the time...) ;-)
11. You know what annoys me most about England? ...the fact that they don't have screens in their windows here. I hate that because I'm terrified of spiders. Have you seen the size of the spiders around here? They're as big as mice and run as fast! I always try to make David kill them when I see one, but he systematically refuses! Instead, he carefully catches them (which can sometimes take half-hour) and puts them outside the door (so that they can easily get back in!)... HATE THAT!!! My solution is more radical. I Hoover them up whilst standing on the couch.
12. We both gave up smoking in October 2008 after I got very sick on our return from our trip to the Scilly Isles. I had a very bad chest infection and David, being the wonderful husband that he is, agreed to give up smoking with me from that day forward. Since we both love smoking and find it very difficult to stop altogether, we agreed that we could still smoke every now and then, but only when we're on holiday. Need I tell you I can't wait for the next one? ;-)
13. As a young man David was very accident prone. He once ran into a concrete pipe which caused such a deep wound on his head that he could touch his skull! He also broke his arm from sliding down the banister in his house and was hit by a motorbike which resulted in him having to have his earlobe stitched back on! I think it's just as well that he gave up paragliding when he did...
14. When we met, David had a nipple ring! I think you know what I think of piercings by now... ;-) Eventually I made him get rid of it (body-piercings on over-40's is very undignified I think!)
15. This photo is absolutely rubbish. I just wanted to try (without too much effort, I confess), my new Sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens... I wanted to see what I could obtain in our dark living room without a flash. Not impressed so far! ;-))
16. Where does this story end? Hopefully in British-Columbia, Canada. This is one of the places I would like to retire to, if not in Québec (but this is very unlikely because David doesn't seem to be able to learn French). However, wherever we are in the world when we retire, one of our dreams would be to publish a book about all the places we visited, with my photos and David's texts. Yeah, dream on...

Now it's my turn to tag five of my contacts (but feel free to decline eh, no sweat!), I know some of you are really busy!... ;-)

We went to St Kilda for dinner last night and the sunset was spectacular. I managed to fire off a couple of shots with the Spirit of Tasmania in the foreground. Den and I took the van on this ship a few years ago and went to Tasmania for a week. It's a huge ship. This shot is straight out of camera except for correcting the horizon in Lightroom.
Here's some information from www.spiritoftasmania.com.au/:
Spirit of Tasmania I and II were built in 1998 by Kvaerner Masa-Yards in Finland. They have a displacement weight of almost 30,000 tonnes and a length of 194.3 metres.
Spirit of Tasmania I and II cross Bass Strait at a cruising speed of 27 knots which is the equivalent of 50 kilometres per hour. The 429 kilometre voyage across Bass Strait is roughly twice the distance by road between Devonport and Strahan, on Tasmania’s west coast.
Stretched end-to-end, the vehicle lanes on each ship would be almost two kilometres long!

Somehow I ain't to satisfied with this shot.. or to be honest: I think it somehow sucks.
But after having spent at least 2 hours editing it I thought it would still upload it to hear your HONEST opinion. I don't want you "to put lipstick on a pig" (that's how Leo translates the German "schönreden")
PLEASE (!!!) critizize this shot! I somehow find church HDRs very difficult and once again I salute the incredible ARTIE - the master of (church) HDRs.

Our boat did ferry us cross the Nam Khan river to Ban Souandara. This village is populated by Khamu, Hmong and Lao Loom people. Here you can take an elephant ride through teak forests and farmland to Tad Sae Waterfall. After sitting on an elephant through forest and jungle for an hour and half, you will arrive to this Waterfall. The crystal water there will be a great invitation to swim a bit.
Wanna stay at my Robinson Crusoe house? Enjoy a good picnic lunch looking at the waterfalls and take time for relax and swim. Photo taken at the Tad Sae Waterfalls located 20km dirt road south of Luang Prabang - Laos.
Tad Sae Waterfalls can be accessed only by boat and best during rainy season. Here we arrived at end of a very scenic Tad Sae waterfalls. The waterfall stream flows into the Nam Khan river. The waterfall is divided into 3 limestone steps. There are numerous cascades and pools with turquoise water. This is an ideal place for bathing. I'll post more photo's later.

Hello Flickr! I am really REALLY happy today because the Coachella lineup finally came out and SO many bands I love will be there--including my absolute fave and the band that Scott and I saw at Coachella 2004 when we finally got together (The Cure--very very sentimental, the reason we went in the first place).
I couldn't be happier and I seriously can't wait. This will be my 6th straight year.

When Andrew, our guide at Rattray’s said, “we’re going to see some Buffalos”, we couldn’t have guessed what impressive spectacle was waiting for us. We drove up to the area and he parked the car .. We saw some buffalos, but they were a bit far off. I looked at Andrew a bit confused but he just leaned back and smiled.
Soon it became clear why…. More Buffalos came up on the field… and more… and more. Pretty soon the car was surrounded by a herd of hundreds of them (see picture below). I could have easily touched them. We’ve spent a good part of an hour with them, before they moved on.. slowly.
Know that, although it looks like your average herd of cows, buffalos are considered one of the most dangerous animals of Africa. They have no fear. You can feel that when you look in their eyes. We've been chased by a (wounded) Buffalo Bull once a couple of years ago, no pre-warning; he just attacked out of the blue. Just escaped from him hitting the rental car we drove - and I have a very healthy respect for them!
One of the nicest things about a herd of Buffalos is that they are always in the company of ‘Red Billed Oxpeckers’. These busy little birds feed on the ticks on the hide of the grazing Buffalos and they fill the air with their constant chatter.
Guess on this shot it's not really hard to see how they got their name.. :-)

I have a fascination with plants with large leaves. The larger the leaf the more I admire the plant. One of the largest undivided leaf exotics in the tropical plant world is the Alocasia odora from South East Asia sometimes called giant upright elephant ear. This tropical plant reaches an impressive 3.6 meter. With stiff leaves that resemble something from a movie about King Tut or Cleopatra with the leaf blade being used as a fan, the leaf approaches 1.2 meter in length. The fruits have a vivid color. The orange Colocasia fruits are eaten by birds which distribute the seeds. Its stems are used as a green vegetable in the cuisines of Southeast Asia, and often used to flavor soups. It is used in local medicine as a very powerful herb for asthma and lung cancer. The treelike stem is cut into a slice per day which is cooked together with a piece of fat pork to a soup. This soup needs to be taken 3 times a day.
Photo of the Alocasia fruit taken nearby Kuang Si Waterfall not far from Luang Brabang - Laos.
Ik heb een fascinatie voor planten met grote bladen. Hoe groter het blad hoe meer ik de plant bewonder ;-) Eén van de grootste bladderen die je tegen kan komen in het regenwoud is de Alocasia odora ook wel rechtopstaande olifant oor genoemd. De stengels worden gebruikt als medicijn en schijnt goed te zijn tegen astma en zelfs long kanker. De vruchten van deze plant vallen op door hun kleur. De oranje colocasia vruchten worden gegeten door de vogels die op hun beurt dat zaadjes verspreiden.
The sun finally decided to show up after almost 3 weeks. I went to Kirkland waterfront hoping to get some beautiful sunset. It was hazy and cloudless, all the boats were parked away for the winter-- not exactly what I had in mind. In a distance, you can see the Seattle downtown skyline. They should build some crazy tall skyscrapers, photographers will definitely benefit. :)
This shot was taken 40 minutes after sunset.

I want to do more seascape photography. There is something about moving water that sucks me in. I want to thank Mr. Patrick Smith for his photostream which inspired me. He has some of the best seascape images I have ever seen, and definitely is one of the top notch photographers here on Flickr. He generously puts up detailed descriptions of where, when, and how he took each of his photos. It's a learning experience viewing all his amazing work, as well as great motivation.

Un señor de los pies a la cabeza: COJONUDO, como él me llama.
Gracias por todo. Y así me responde él: es que es COJONUDO, poeta, filósofo...
"Mi gratitud está por encima del compromiso porque me siento orgulloso de haber llegado al interlocutor, de haber intuido correctamente algo que no sabía, aunque sea un triste acontecimiento, porque tu obra me ha hablado de tí y la he entendido.
Cuando he visto un sol, cual estrella brillante al alba, que ilumina la noche aún de paseo por el valle, por el valle en silencio, con praderas de niebla donde pastan los pegasos, mientras los caballos se han quedado con los pies en la ladera porque han perdido sus alas. Miro al horizonte de cálidos colores que se une, sin ungüento alguno, con la bóveda celeste, de azules y vida a otro nivel, a otra altura donde la paz reina y los moradores en ella descansan. Un abrazo amigo, tan fuerte como lo resistas"

I always enjoy trying to catch the light trails from the London buses at night...this one is in St Pauls, London.
St Paul's Cathedral is the Anglican cathedral on Ludgate Hill, in the City of London, and the seat of the Bishop of London. The present building dates from the 17th century and is generally reckoned to be London's fifth St Paul's Cathedral, although the number is higher if every major medieval reconstruction is counted as a new cathedral. The cathedral sits on the edge of London's oldest region, the City, which originated as a Roman trading post along the edge of the River Thames. The cathedral is one of London's most visited sites.
The nearest London Underground station is St. Paul's.

One of the best sunsets I've seen around here for a while!
It's hard to tell in this small size that the dark "cloud" over the horizon is actually a fog bank or more accurately a marine layer hovering over the water. I wish I could have gotten closer to water here but all access points are on private property and these locals (mostly fishermen) have shotguns! :-)

What:
The day after our last snow storm.
It was so friggin' windy that the snow blew off the tops of the trees except where they were down in this hollow!
