This female Hairy Woodpecker had one or more brown feathers that can be seen here at the base of her back. I assume they're wing feathers, but this was the only pose I saw her in, so I can't be sure.
I apologise for the lack of variation in my photos lately. I have a thing of going through phases when it comes to photography - I had the portrait phase, the white wall phase, the sky phase, the wings phase, and now I am hooked on the on-top-of-a-hill phase. I assure you, this too shall pass.
Meet Julius. He is a mannequin I borrowed from school, I have been hoarding him until I thought of a good enough concept to include him in. You may have seen his various body parts in other shots I have done. Julius, I hope this does you justice. We have been through so much together.
I took Julius' upper body home a month ago, and I took his legs and butt home today, on the public bus. The bus driver tried to charge me for 1 1/2 tickets, damn him :P After climbing up this hill, I could no longer feel my arms. Then came the storm. The best part was when I had to use his ass as a shield from the rain.
I'm not happy with the editing on this one, my mouse started going all jumpy and it took me alot longer to do simple stuff. Guh, I am going for a shower!!!
10 DAYS UNTIL I GO SEE AARON IN AMERICA!!! AAAHHHHHHH!!!!

The Anomaly hides in the vastness of deep space
The vastness of deep space hides the Anomaly. It is akin to "finding a needle in an impossibly vast, cosmic haystack" due to its elusive nature and location. The Anomaly, an enigma of immense proportions, is concealed within the unfathomable depths of deep space. Its elusive nature and precise location render it comparable to "finding a needle in an impossibly vast, cosmic haystack." This metaphorical comparison highlights the extreme difficulty, if not the near impossibility, of pinpointing its whereabouts amidst the vast expanse of the cosmos. Pirates, military personnel, and explorers have long grappled with the challenge of deciphering and penetrating this profound mystery, which continues to defy conventional understanding and observation. The very existence of the Anomaly challenges current astrophysical models, suggesting the presence of phenomena or structures that lie far beyond our current comprehension. Its hidden state implies either an intrinsic property of its being, a defence mechanism, or perhaps a natural consequence of its unique composition and interactions with the fabric of spacetime. The desire to enter the Anomaly remains a driving force for interstellar exploration, which promises revelations that could fundamentally alter humanity's perception of the universe.

A virtual acrylic installation.
Developed and rendered in Blender 2.74 using the Cycles rendering engine.
Camera focal length = 20mm.
Note that what I think is a Tree Toad [but not sure, help needed folks to identify please] has the anomaly of a tail growing out of it's hind knee. Weird!
Cityscape - Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikkor 10.5 mm f2.8 ED Fisheye
In the modern metropolis that is Hong Kong the stars are rarely visible due to atmospheric pollution from Asia's "brown haze" - a cocktail of airborne particles and pollutants that obscure the night skies above. In this Megacity space is at a premium and the feeling of confinement is exaggerated by using the extreme distortion of the fisheye and shooting at ground level looking upwards.
Sky - Camera: Nikon FM2
Lens: Nikkor 50 mm f1.4
Film: Fujichrome Velvia 50
1Hour @ f5.6
Lake Eyre in the remote outback of South Australia is the complete antithesis - a vast and desolate ocean of endless horizons, spanning the worlds largest drainage basin and covering an area about the size of France, Germany and Italy combined.
A place where silence courts solitude and the perfect vantage point for observing the southern hemispheres bountiful skies.
Digital was used to shoot the cityscape and the long exposure advantages of film were utilised for the star trail exposure of approximately an hours duration. To create this composite image the two exposures were then combined using software.
These two extremes of environment are unified in a single frame with the curves of the buildings and the lines from the star trails complementing each other nicely.
The Anomaly homes a little-known station
Within the vast, unpredictable expanse of the Anomaly, a faint and enigmatic station exists, its signal barely perceptible to all but the most advanced receivers. This "whisper of potential solace" offers a glimmer of hope or a "presence of hospitality" on the very fringes of Uncharted Space, a beacon in the desolate void. Its faint emission can only be detected by a select few, as its frequency is designed to be almost entirely undetectable by standard civilian vessels. Access to this mysterious haven is even more restricted, requiring the formidable capabilities of military-grade spaceships to navigate and penetrate the surrounding environmental defences.

The Anomaly is a continuous process of learning
The deep space anomaly represents a fundamental challenge to our understanding of the universe, a continuous process of learning, adapting, and responding to phenomena that defy conventional explanation. It serves as a constant, stark reminder of the inherent fragility of our perceived reality and the immeasurable, unknown forces that lie beyond the ordinary confines of human comprehension.
Navigating the intricate complexities of such an anomaly is not about conquering it, for its power and nature often exceed our capacity for domination. Instead, success hinges on a profound understanding of its characteristics, a deep respect for its immense power, and a commitment to constantly evolving our strategies to coexist with its unpredictable and profound influence. This necessitates a paradigm shift in our approach to exploration and discovery, moving beyond mere observation to a dynamic engagement with the unknown, fostering a mindset of continuous adaptation and intellectual humility in the face of truly alien forces.

Happy first full day of Winter! Turns out we had a very disappointing apocalypse. So here is a long exposure of Downtown NYC with a strange blue glow in the sky. I had taken this photo with my 9 stop ND filter. The clouds were moving very fast and it was pretty windy. I positioned myself to block the wind to prevent any shake. After the night was done, I had went home and post processed the images. After tonemapping in Photomatix I noticed a blue tone in the sky (possible artifact from processing). So I decided to have a little fun with it.

Out for this weekend...trying to escape from everyday life
/
Fuori per questo weekend, provando a fuggire dalla vita di ogni giorno
During my last session, all of a sudden, gravity started to behave in a very weird way. Must have been some kind of anomaly?! But look for yourselves...
This is probably about as close as I get to a 'seasonal' image. It's got snow in it, and that's close enough for me :D
500 year old artefacts appear encased in ice and a science team is dispatched to investigate.
Elliptische Anomalie
Eine Abweichung der besonderen Art...

A special kind of anomaly...
Sony Center roof at Potsdamer Platz, Berlin. :)
(Note: Colour version deleted...)
Tools: Aperture, Silver Efex Pro 2.
The nine ball depicts an anomaly. In nine ball game, whatever balls you have entered, the nine ball is always salient and expected to enter in the end of the game.
To me, this combination of colour and stripe is a little weird... I guess a bit overkill with the matte roof, and the white stripe. Too much contrast? Still, I love the 599.
Btw - should I crop this picture? Any suggestions?
Scottsdale, Arizona
The mountains, which reach to more than 4,000 feet are part of the Scottsdale's McDowell Sonoran Preserve which covers 30,500 contiguous acres and is the largest urban nature preserve in the U.S. The park has many miles of trails of different levels of challenge. Who would guess that the park is located in a city with a population of 250,000? Snow is uncommon, but it obviously does occasionally happen. We will long for some of this cool air when it is July and 110F.
Saguaro are the largest cactus indigenous to the U.S. and can be found in much of the Sonoran Desert which spans parts of Mexico, much of Arizona and parts of southwestern California. The Saguaro are slow growers and are always sprouted from seed and do not grow from cuttings. At ten years of age, the cactus may only be 1.5 inches tall, but frequently grow to heights exceeding 40 feet. They do not grow their arms until they are 75 to 100 years old. They have a single tap root that grows to a depth of two or more feet, but much of the root system is only 4 to 6 inches deep, but extends outward to lengths of about the cactus' height.
