Currently experiencing blizzard conditions here in Washington DC and only us foolish pedestrians have taken to the streets. This is Q street near 17th.
I was sent out yesterday to shoot some interiors of a newly remodeled hotel out in Long Beach...Hotel Current. I learned so much in one day...like how fast a day goes by.
These are 3 of the shots I pulled out late last night to show you (this is not a print piece or final edits). I was glad I had my flash in my bag. Initially I thought I would just use natural light, but strobism got the better of me. All 3 were lit with one flash in 43" shoot thru umbrella balanced with the natural and ambient light.
If you haven't noticed the Canon 5d has made a debut on my stream. About an hour into the shoot the D3 battery died (my bad). So we called down to a shop to see how much a battery charger was...$180!!! Well luckily Shannen was with me with her 5D. So a lens rental later and we were back in business!

georgia aquarium.
atlanta, georgia.
not very representative of an aquarium, i know, but being on vacation with limited time and computer resources dictated i upload this image from the main lobby area of the georgia aquarium, which, i understand, is the world's largest.
other than conversion from nef (raw) to jpg with nikon's free viewnx, this is otherwise sooc.
see you more regularly after the 22nd!
This is a photo of the reflection of tree branches in the river current as it creates a wake flowing past a protruding reed.

Currently on a wee holiday with very limited access to WiFi. Will catch up soon. No computer with me either...arghhhh
the house is buried up to the rafters on its east side, and the snow-wave is closer on both the north and west sides of the house. one more storm forecast for tomorrow afternoon, hopefully a break after that. i’m shoveling snow on the front/south side of the house, preoccupied with thoughts of Ukraine, and full of sadness for the world…
I'm supposed to be conserving my phone battery, but I can't sleep, had to visit everyone's great photos.
Earlier in the evening my husband brought me one of my favorite herbal teas and I thought it was funny that it should be in this cup (no caffeine in this herbal tea).
Apparently, even though sleep deprivation has been proven to contribute to illness, heart disease, etc. throughout the world, hospitals haven't gotten the memo!
So, after being awoken to yet again more poking and prodding, I grabbed this shot for Happy Monochrome Monday!
I viewed as many images as possible, made limited comments, now going back to conserving battery energy so I can call my son when I'm finally discharged later today!
Have a great day, stay warm, stay safe ❤️

This is a photo that I made while canoeing of the current in the river flowing over a submerged rock. The image has been mirrored and copied twice to be symmetrical. The detail is best seen full screen.
On my current US road trip, I wanted to catch some Alpenglow. While having sunrise and sunset reds on sandstone (like in Arches NP), which brings out the reds indeed, a white, i.e.snowy, background does work nicely as well. Contrasting, blue sky. That was the goal.
Not being the luckiest with the weather, I basically had one shot about shooting a sunrise, prefixed by two hours of searching and settling for a place where an assumed sunrise might be seen nicely. So, the next morning, I went on a dirt road in Owen's Valley, ran around in the half-dark, avoiding all kinds of cow releases, finding a spot where I could get some interesting foreground, masking a bit the not-green grass. I liked the Owen's River being quite calm, and what I also liked were clouds in the sky giving the light some brightness variations when it hit the nearby mountains.
Afterwards, we continued to Yosemite Valley, but more on that in the coming pictures.

The current City Hall for the city of St. Louis, having housed city government since 1898, is a landmark by appearance, reputation and city designation (since 1971). Efforts to build what would become the current City Hall (seen above) got underway in May 1888 when the City Hall Commission was formed. On April 4, 1889, an ordinance was passed to authorize the Commission to advertise for bids for the building. The original cost was not to exceed one million dollars. The commission chose the design of George Richard Mann, of the firm Eckel & Mann of St. Joseph, from the 37 national entries. His design was titled "St. Louis 1892", obviously expecting it to be completed by 1892. A French-style plan, inspired by the Hotel de Ville or City Hall of Paris, with ornamental dormer windows and former towers, it also recalled architectural elements of the Chateau de Chambord on the Loire River in France.
The construction of City Hall started July 19, 1890, with Mayor Edward Noonan's daughter Zoe, breaking ground. The cornerstone was laid on June 6, 1891. No bond issue was passed to finance construction of the new City Hall, explaining the 14 years required to finish the building. Funds came from general revenue and the sale of city property. Every year or two, the Council, would authorize an average of $110, 000 to continue construction. An ordinance was passed on Sept, 10, 1893 to limit the total cost at two million dollars. Though the building was not completed, it was finally occupied on April 11, 1898 when Mayor Henry Ziegenhein headed a ceremonial parade of city officials from the old building to their offices in the new City Hall. In 1904, the final portions of the building were completed, the Rotunda, the Tucker Boulevard vestibule and the grand staircase, using the design by the St. Louis architectural firm of Weber & Groves. The building was officially completed on Nov. 5, 1904 when Mayor Rolla Wells held an open house for the residents of St. Louis. The final cost of the building was $1,787,159.16. However, the exterior of City Hall was never quite finished. All sides of the building have ornamental dormers called belvederes, each having bare spaces of limestone. These were meant to have carved decorations, yet remained untouched probably due to lack of funds. Despite its incomplete state, City Hall was praised for its "splendid architectural composition," and called "an impressive period piece of craftsmanship". Unfortunately, a poorly executed acid cleaning and years of exposure to coal smoke has left the original pink and orange exterior tarnished.

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Finished now. Not altogether satisfying, and not one of his best. But it had a lot of the touches that Pynchon readers expect (sentences with lists that give you whiplash... "wait for it" Dad jokes, ambiguity and feelings of dislocation).
Glad I read it, not sure what else I would have read instead.
"Manta Point" sits in a powerful current stream. We got a boat to drop us off at one end and pick us up when we got to the other. Taking the pictures was a physical challenge as swimming against the current requires a lot of energy. It didn't help that they were so deep. The key was to spot them early, arrest my movement by turning and kicking, get the air and go. Take the shot and then just give in to the current and slowly float up. Easier said than done, as at the point of spotting, the manta could have been completely on the wrong side of me.
The mantas on the other hand were happy to just maintain position in the current, letting the water (and presumably plankton) filter through their mouths.

This might not be the most spectacular photograph on Flickr, however, in these bizarre times,
a throwback to one of my very happy moments....
Look at that water; so powerful, invincible, pure, elegant.
In the situation we are in, and how we handle it -
Let's be like this current.

The Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in series hybrid vehicle to be produced by General Motors, expected to be launched as a 2011 model with production currently slated to begin in 2010. The Volt's propulsion system will be based on GM's new E-Flex platform.
Unlike current commercially available hybrids, the actual propulsion of the Volt is accomplished by the electric motor, as the internal combustion engine (ICE) is not mechanically connected to the wheels. With fully charged batteries, this electric power may be sourced exclusively from its onboard lithium-ion batteries, for up to 40 miles (64 km), a distance capable of satisfying the daily commute of 75% of Americans, which averages around 33 miles (53 km).
After 40 miles (64 km), the range of the Volt will need to be extended through the use of a small 4-cylinder ICE which drives a 53 kW generator. The electrical power from the generator is then sent to either the electric motor or the batteries, depending on the state of charge (SOC) of the battery pack and the power demanded at the wheels. The distribution is controlled by the electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. This effectively extends the Volt's potential range to as much as 640 miles (1,030 km) on a single tank of fuel (which could be potentially extended for longer trips through conventional refueling).
The Volt's 16 kWh lithium-ion battery pack can also be fully charged (technically ~85% SOC) by plugging the car into a 120-240VAC residential electrical outlet using the provided SAE J1772 compliant charging cord. No external charging station will be required.

Week 4/52: Water
I took this one the day after election day, 2020, so posting it the morning before the inauguration makes some sense to me. Hard to know where we'll go, but it's definitely somewhere.
On an editing note, I wanted to try to make this one look more like a painting. My first go at it!
Jason De Caires Taylor named this sculpture Vicissitudes, commenting on the future trajectories of these children.
This sculpture was seen in the Molinere Beausejour Marine Protected Area, Grenada. This was the first of the underwater sculpture parks created by Taylor, who has more than 1,200 underwater sculptures in Australia, UK, Cyprus, France, Maldives, Indonesia, Mexico and Bahamas.
The sculpture park in Grenada was founded in 2006 and Vicissitudes was added in 2007. Initially, Vicissitudes was intended to be the community of children holding hands and looking toward their futures. But as the currents modified these sculptures, some had to be propped up, and these were tied together for stability. Many people (including me) interpreted the ties as manacles, and the sculpture a reminder of slavery in the history of Grenada.
Taylor fully intended that his sculptures be colonized by the species looking for a place to live on a healthy marine surfaces.
