I shot this intriguing window with my Olympus E-M1 while walking along the streets of New York City.
帰省した際35年ぶりに倉敷に行ってみました。
いや驚きました。数倍に増幅しています。
その増幅ぶりを皆さんにご紹介しましょう。
When I returned to my hometown, I went to Kurashiki for the first time in 35 years.
I was surprised that the town was amplified fairly larger.
Let me introduce you about the amplification of this tourist area.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. With a pair of Marshall amplifiers delivering her sound I just loved the composition of this shot that presented itself. I am a little concerned about those flip-up sunglasses though, they were never a good look when they were in fashion decades ago! Enjoy.
at Heckscher Park is amazing... if you stand in the middle and whisper, you heard it very loud... I took my grandsons there, they loved screaming and stomping inside... I found this out by luck when I was there with a friend...

Autumn Sunrise, Wetlands. © Copyright 2023 G Dan Mitchell.
The sun rises over California Central Valley wetlands.
There is a seasonal pattern to my photography. One of my favorite subjects from late fall through winter is the return of migratory birds to California. This year’s first outing was near the end of November, when I spent a day in the Central Valley. This photograph isn’t just (almost) my first photograph of the day, but it is also the seasons first photo of this subject. As I expected, the number of birds was lower than it will be later in the season, but the stillness and quiet of the place at sunrise was no less profound.
If you passed by here during one of those oppressively hot Central Valley summer days, you might never imagine that it could be a beautiful place in the right season and at the ideal time of the day. But the transformations of season and time of day can do amazing things, and the annual arrival of the birds amplifies that here. It didn’t hurt that I was listening to the sound of sandhill cranes passing overhead as I photographed.

Monument Valley, Navajo Tribal Park.
A bit different take on a highly photographed, classic southwest shot. The first time we drove through this spot it was so foggy we couldn't see anything at all. When bad weather altered our plans and sent us back through here unexpectedly, I was thrilled to see the clouds lift just enough to show us the monuments. Though blue sky and white puffy clouds would have been beautiful, there was something powerful about seeing these monoliths loom through the clouds over a desolate land. Strength and age amplified, starkly and boldly beautiful.
This image represents a few hours of experimenting to try and create something worth photographing, as is often the same with water droplet refraction photography. I used some fun new tools to do this, too!
First off, the “behind-the-scenes” image illustrates everything pretty well: donkom.ca/bts/_1090402.jpg . I’m using a Platypod Max with some gooseneck arms and a couple of Litra torches for all of the lighting here, which you can currently get all together as a bundle from Platypod as part of their Black Friday special: platypod.com/black-friday-2019
I cannot recall where I got the black porcelain container, but I know previously I’ve found bowls at thrift stores that work: you need it a couple inches deep with a relatively flat bottom, because under the water you’ll place a “third hand tool” that clamps the foreground object – in this case, a Dandelion seed. The clamp doesn’t have to be very far submerged, so long as no light falls on it and the camera is perpendicular to the surface of the water, the reflection will overpower it.
The Camera and lens is the Lumix S1R with the 24-105mm F/4 kit lens, a great combination for macro when paired with the “high-resolution” mode. This mode allows for the camera to quadruple its resolution by taking multiple photos and slightly shifting the sensor between each shot to really amplify your details, which indirectly overcomes a problem in macro photography: depth of field. I don’t need a 187MP image, but I can shoot an image with such detail with the intension of throwing most of it away via cropping. I only really need a 20MP image, which is what I’ve got here! Getting farther away from your subject gives you more depth, so the best part of this? No focus stacking required. This is just a single frame.
I love the gooseneck arms which are so much easier to position for shots like this than a flash or even a continuous light on a tabletop tripod; you can get the slight very close and accurately placed to the subject. This is important, because the light is not hitting the Dandelion seeds, it’s just hitting the background!
Simple ingredients at play, and we have some fun results. Originally I was going to use three seeds, but two just felt better, like two people dancing. It’s difficult to anthropomorphize water droplets, but I think this comes close!

One of the things I love the most about photography is how as a photographer you are in total control to tell a story through the picture. The mood, setting, as well as the feelings the picture portrays are all completely within your control. How you compose and capture a particular scene can tell such a different story from one photograph to another.
This photograph and my previous post linked below are a great example of how by simply changing a few minor elements, I was able to drastically change not only the mood, but the emotion the scene conveys. Both photographs from this location were taken on the same morning. In fact, no more than five minutes separates the two shots. As well the photographs were taken from within ten feet of each other, and yet they convey such different scenes to the viewer.
The composition of my earlier post conveys a sense of order and symmetry. The smoothed out long exposure water adds a sense of calm to the scene. The B&W conversion further adds to the lack of drama and emphasizes a smoothness and flow from front to back. Overall the image conveys that sense of peace throughout.
In comparison the composition of this image conveys a sense of asymmetry and disorder. The motion of the water and waves exploding on the foreground pier adds a sense of danger and excitement. The raw power of the waves building in the ocean amplifies the drama of the scene. Lastly the warmer red and yellow colors on the horizon convey a sense of warmth and energy.
To me, this is the true heart of photography, the ability to capture and convey the emotion of a scene in a manner that it tells a unique story.
I always appreciate your critique on any of my images, as it helps me to improve.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Captured some time ago with my then broken 50mm f/1.8 lens. Since being knocked on the street my cheap plastic nifty fifty suffered from horrible chromatic aberration and the bokeh in this shot is misshaped away from it's usual beautiful roundness - Just a small knock from a passer-by must have jarred something out of alignment. Still, a slightly imperfect shot but an image that I love. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend ahead.
Something there is about soft, gently falling snow that makes silence all the more present. You can stand for moments and not hear a thing but the rhythm of your breathing, the beat of your heart, the woodpecker's tapping. Despite all of my complaints about Wisconsin winters, a walk in this amplified silence is a treasure. Lovely short poem, by the way.
How is it that the snow
amplifies the silence . . .

Abstract artwork on the basis of a particular old-school type of Light Amplification. The structural details are irrelevant: All that matters is Light. Light causes darkness and despair to disappear and it facilitates finding one’s way into following the path of Life.
The image was inspired by Vangelis’s Light And Shadow song in “1492 – Conquest of Paradise” album.

In September, Nebraska’s sunsets transform into breathtaking spectacles, amplified by the dramatic presence of thunderstorms and supercells. As summer’s heat begins to wane, the Great Plains remain a hotbed for dynamic weather, with warm, moist air clashing against cooler fronts to create vibrant, fiery skies. The sun dips below the horizon, painting the vast Nebraska landscape in hues of orange, pink, and purple, often intensified by towering cumulonimbus clouds. These clouds, illuminated by the fading light, glow with an ethereal quality, their edges tinged with gold as the sun’s rays refract through the atmosphere. The open plains offer an unobstructed view, making the interplay of light and storm clouds a daily masterpiece, where the sinking sun seems to set the sky ablaze against the silhouette of distant fields.
For those in rural areas, watching a September supercell at sunset is an unforgettable experience. The air grows heavy with the scent of rain, and the distant rumble of thunder provides a soundtrack to the visual spectacle. Farmers and storm chasers alike pause to witness the sky’s drama, knowing that these storms can bring both vital rain and potential destruction to the region’s corn and soybean fields. The fleeting moments when the sun’s last rays pierce through breaks in the storm clouds create a sense of timelessness, connecting the observer to the raw, untamed spirit of the Plains. In Nebraska, September sunsets paired with thunderstorms and supercells are not just weather events—they’re a vivid reminder of nature’s ability to inspire wonder and respect in equal measure.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Some serious headphones and I wonder if they are designed for hearing loss - having two amps strapped to the head! I had to keep this in colour for those lovely purple tints in her hair. Wishing all of my Flickr friends a fantastic weekend of photography. Enjoy!
Street performer, amazing singer, € 5.00 CD, if I love you, street of Dublin, Ireland, Late Fall 2010.
In capturing this scene, I wanted to reveal the raw beauty that resides in modern architecture. My intention was to transcend the simple utilitarian function of a stair railing to extract an abstract and clean composition. I chose black and white to amplify the dialogue between geometric lines and concrete texture, thus creating a visual tension between the dynamic diagonal and the static wall. The regular circles left by the formwork add a subtle rhythmic punctuation to the whole. Through this image, I seek to invite the viewer to rediscover the hidden poetry in the architectural details that surround us daily, transforming a functional element into a contemplative work.
