Actually it was more like “stubbornness test”. - Στην πραγματικότητα ήταν περισσότερο «δοκιμασία ξεροκεφαλιάς». :)
Actually this guy was not moving a hair, there was a hawk that flew into the yard and the Blue Jay's let everyone know about the intruder and all the squirrels froze in place til the danger passed!
"Did he actually say that?"
Most of the photos I'm taking lately are of goslings at the park. So, here's one from the good old days, (mid-March), when the zoos were open!
Well, actually I am. But, that's beside the point. I had planned to lay on my side, with a stabby look on my face, but the outtakes of me climbing up and down from the hard floor looked more interesting.
ETA: Never trust a woman with bare legs and shiny black boots: They're dangerous. Of course, the foil should have been a giveaway -- but I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box.
Strobist: 43" reflective umbrella high, above camera. 43" reflective umbrella low, behind subjects left. 4' x 6' silver reflector behind subject right. All strobes triggered wirelessly. (I've been getting a lot of mileage out of this setup.
Anatol Herzfeld, actually Karl-Heinz Herzfeld (1931 - 2019), was a German sculptor.
A student of Joseph Beuys, he primarily used wood, iron and stone as materials.
Anatol lived and worked on the Museum Insel Hombroich. His monumental sculptures were presented at the documenta in Kassel several times, and at the Nationalgalerie in Berlin, among others.
Museum Insel Hombroich in Holzheim near Neuss is a museum park with the motto "art parallel to nature" (German: Kunst parallel zur Natur).
The museum was founded by the real estate agent and art collector Karl-Heinrich Müller from Düsseldorf. When he had found a suitable location, he set up a foundation called Stiftung Insel Hombroich, with the aim of presenting his art collection in various pavilions in dialogue with the surrounding nature.
Actually, two lenses. I had cataract surgery on one eye in September and the second eye in October. Not being able to dive/snorkel for 4 months was not fun!
This was actually first set of pictures taken on this Saturday trip. Yes, I must say set as this is another HDR with 6 images. Not the easy one as while shooting and processing I had fight with lens flares – beauty of shooting into the light. Sky was still cloudy and worked out this way. I have used one of the techniques that Trey Ratcliff ( Stuck in Customs ) was talking in a podcast.

This is not shot podcast , it's over an hour. Photomatix as a premier HDR software has problems with daytime sky. This was really showing where the sum was. I used one of underexposed ( I think -3 ) and dogged the that section of the image from HDR . Please let me know what you think – you critique is always welcomed.
I wish you all great week !
( PS , I could shoot so much more and maybe get descent at it … but the job … that thing that helps getting the toys , take so much time away from playing with them )
Below is the image #4 of 6 more less “0” exposure – the reason why I love HDR. It let you look not what you see but what it could be …. much more fun , more creative. Are we photographers or maybe we are visual artists … I don't think that anyone should be force to choose.
PLEASE ... Please ... please - View large On Black
How can I play anything else ...

“Actually (though it never seems so at the time) you modify one another’s thought; out of this perpetual dog-fight a community of mind and a deep affection emerge. But I think he changed me a good deal more than I him.“
-CS Lewis commenting on his relationship with Owen Barfield
The 1942 School Teacher look. Gorgeous long-sleeve 1940s blouse and skirt, authentic buttons and styling. Throw in some victory rolls and I had to wipe a couple of tears off of my mascara and false lashes, which was a delightfully feminine moment.
Actually, I prefer to ask wishes to shooting stars because It´s free!
Jardin Japones, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
it's the truth that hurts
more from today, you don't know how amazing it felt to feel actual grass, even if it was dead

Actually, he did not have a choice. Pictures with Grandma are a requirement. But she did have to poke him to get a smile.
Actually ‘just’ the washing facilities in a guest toilet: the water flows vertically from above over the indirectly lit Carrara marble (Arabescato). The water used for hand washing is collected and drained away in the lower, protruding and in the back mirrored part of the sculpture. The wall mirror on the left emits inductive heat.

Eigentlich 'nur' die Waschgelegenheit in einer Gästetoilette: Das Wasser fließt von oben senkrecht über den indirekt beleuchteten Carraramarmor (Arabescato). Das für die Handwäsche benutzte herabfließende Wasser wird im unteren, vorgezogenen und hinten verspiegelten Teil der Skulptur aufgefangen und abgeleitet. Der Wandspiegel links gibt induktive Wärme ab.

Actually , it was me who returned to the place where I had photographed them last year . A new generation of alderflies was living there .
In Dutch : elzenvlieg , slijkvlieg
I actually quite liked the color, but I don't think you're ready for that gray root jelly. Apparently it's high time to pay Frances a visit.
Actually, I wanted to take care of the three pictures, which I had taken in Kiel while the past days, but then I read an article on the light room facebook page. So I digged into my archive and tried out this kind of processing.
I actually got the chance to escape for a few hours last night. It was a spur of the moment thing so no outfit planning took place hence the grab what was close to hand look.
Well the weather was a little unpredictable so sensible was the order of the day.
So what did I do? I headed out to see Alice via a shop to see what they had. not much!
After a natter and a cuppa with Alice I set of home via yet another shop this time it had some nice stuff but I was really taken with a brighter than bright yellow jumper that I really should have bought but didn't.
"Right. We need to actually go somewhere in this van before it takes root in the garden. Tomorrow we're taking her out for a drive."
I'd stated my case. I'm not sure I've ever seen Ali looking quite so contented as she has over the last few weeks since Brenda, a fourteen year old converted Renault Master van came into our world. While I grumpily traipse off to work each morning (although there are only 42 such mornings left in my life now), she steadily and patiently transforms Brenda's previously dark and gloomy interior into a bright space that greets the visitor with a cheery white welcome. I'm forever finding her on YouTube looking at other people's conversions for space saving innovations and interior furnishings. Even on her very significant birthday this week she turned down the offer of a swanky hotel lunch from her sister because she wanted to finish painting the cupboards. She's got a project and she's happy. I'm allowed to wash and polish Brenda, drive her, pay for her to be kept roadworthy and not much else. Oh yes and I was allowed to pay for the purchase of her too. I feel privileged to be involved, albeit in a rather prosaic manner.
But the downside of all of this up cycling business is that the fact she looks like an artist's workshop, full of half empty paint tins and brushes and goodness knows what else has meant that taking her for a spin hasn't really been on the agenda just yet. Add to that, she seems to me an awfully big van. It's going to need some more practice before I can refine the seventy-three point turn required to set her in the right direction without knocking the front porch down. Helpfully she's got a reversing camera, but it's still a whole new world for me. Until last year my only vehicle was a tiny city car barely larger than a skateboard.
So last weekend, after an eventful period of attempting to jump start her we were off on a mini adventure. Ten minutes later we were home again - we'd forgotten our masks in all of the excitement. It meant turning right at the end of our lane twice in quick succession, a hair raising experience designed to terrify even the most seasoned HGV drivers in the land. An uneventful while later we arrived at Ladock Wood. I was confident the large car park wouldn't be chock full and I could park quietly without drawing attention to myself or maiming anyone else's vehicle in the process. We tried not to look too smug as we sipped our tea and hunkered down on those lunchtime veggie sausage sandwiches - made right there by our very own hands on the two burner gas hob. What a liberating experience that is. And then for a while we wandered through the eerie silence of Ladock Wood, coming to rest in this peaceful sheltered glade. Here we could feel the warm sun stream through the canopy as we idly lost ourselves in talk of future adventures that might take us further than the twenty odd miles that had brought us here. I'd stumbled across this far flung corner of the woods in May - there will be a more rewarding image from here in the autumn with a bit of luck. I have the composition - I just need the light and the russets and golds that the next season will bring.
And then we pushed onto Newquay. There's another story to tell here, and it involves tourists, errant Herring Gulls, celebrity chefs and eye watering prices - not for the first time in this feed. It's difficult to avoid them in Cornwall. Difficult to avoid campervans too for that matter - you could sense some people looking nervously at us, wondering whether we were going to park on their doorsteps for a fortnight and put Black Sabbath on the iPod at full volume each night before leaving the place knee deep in detritus as a parting gift. Now there's an idea.
What I'm looking forward most of all though, is taking Brenda down to the big field at Godrevy on a Tuesday afternoon in October when everyone else is at work, where we can make our lunch and sit and watch the colours change over the sea. I've got a feeling we'll be doing that a lot when the big adventure starts.
About to head off grid for a few days soon. No signal, no WiFi, no electricity. Have a great weekend everyone.
Actually one of a pair but I couldn't get a decent shot of the female before they were gone. Very warm late afternoon sheltered sun. Wirral Way, Thurstaston, England. 14.1.2015
From my childhood, hide-and-seek is remembered as one of the more anxiety-provoking games. When you are the seeker (the 'it') all the other children are against you. This is, naturally, a very bad position. But even when you are one of the concealers the threat that you would be the next seeker (or that you would be forgotten in your hiding place) was very frightening.
Many years ago, when I was a student, I started very interesting research in which I interviewed adults about their memories from the game. Most of my interviewed had memories rather like mine.
And how are yours?
p.s.
Our children or grandchildren, probably, wouldn't have any memories from the game, whatsoever…
The Watcher, Knight, and Crawler from Halo 4.
Thanks to all who helped with suggestions while the Watcher and Crawler were WIPs.
I actually took this image on my doorsteps, #Just3MinutesAwayFromHome, when Desi and I explored some new views to the western horizon. Now its cold and rainy outside, but when the photo was taken, it was warm and there was a beautiful gorgeous sky.
Actually, this shot was taken towards East! The sunset was behind me but couldn't see it. The clouds above the hills reflected by the light of the setting sun created such beautiful colors.
Thank you so much for your visits and for your kind comments. I hope to be able to visit and comments on your beautiful photos in a couple of days. Have a wonderful Sunday, my friends!
Actually I was planning to visit the very impressive Ivenacker Oaks, which are surrounded by a not less impressive nature preserve. Hint: The entrance is free during winter and it's enjoyable empty. I've visited twice on the weekend.
Shot on Certo Six with my last Fomapan 400 developed in Caffenol CL.
Actually the building is assembled by infinity timbers. And the greatest view the pacific ocean.
中が特徴的です。木の香もすごくいいです。

Actually, it was the front door, but Creedence didn't write that song.
On our last trip to Sedona, this was our view from our hotel room, where light and variable weather played to our constant delight.

Re-retouched: March 2016
It actually looked worse than it was once it started raining. One of those steady 20 minute rains, just enough to get you wet, but not enough to shut the fair down. I checked the radar on the iPhone before leaving the car...good to go, not a cloud in sight...my trusty Totes rain poncho left on the passenger seat, why carry something I'm not going to need...right?
Actually not a hobo at all...he was my dear old friend "Bill Miles" who was a great photographer and model...he has now sadly departed us...R.I.P. Bill and his lovely wife June...God Bless you both.
Something a bit different...
I took the original (film) image on a Gandolfi 10"x 8" Field camera about 35 years ago, using a Schneider Kreuznach 165mm Super-Angulon lens.
Several years later (early 90's) I then made 2 alternative iron process prints in the darkroom (New Cyanotype print on the left) + (Argyrotype print on the right) handcoated onto Arches Platine paper.
I then copied these 2 images (Sony A7R2 + Sony 90mm Macro) and applied them in layers onto one of my background paper templates (Japanese Awagami handmade paper - Kozo Natural Bizan).
Actually, the man in the center was practicing Capoeira, and the other was simply watching him, at most amazed by his performance.
The photo was taken at the CrimeMinister demonstrations in Jerusalem. (Note the black flags behind them).
Many argue these demonstrations are 'the best show in town', and I tend to agree. A photographer can return from them with a cam full of photos.
Will the demonstrations have any effect?
This is the million Dollars question, no one knows to answer.
At least they are a great fun :- )
Actually before reading it. We got ourself a Nikon D40 kit and I enjoyed using it so much. In good light I got punchy pictures - long before recording RAW files. This camera sparked my interest in photography. I wish I had it just 3-4 years before when I travelled abroad 3-4 times a year in my previous work.
I have actually tried to take analog pictures of this house a couple of times - but never been quite happy with my results. In 2009 when this was taken - it was recently painted - and now it has just been painted again.
A cosy little house in our city center.
Hooray for actually putting some effort into a picture! Haha
My life. Right now. Oh my gosh. I lost my camera charger, and it's on, like, zero charge. So i ordered a new one tonight, but it won't be here for a week. How the crap am I supposed to make a nearly empty battery last through a week of 365. I have no idea.

On a side note, You know it's a freezing night in Florida when you can see your breath.
