Macro Mondays - defining beauty
So....is "more interesting" a good thing? I could say that this has been an interesting week, but not an exceptionally good week. There are not enough hours in a day lately, and not enough fun in the hours, and there have been too many disappointments and a lack of motivation ....
Well, a new week begins tomorrow...and maybe it will be "more interesting." And I can only hope that that will be a good thing!
Happy Sliders Sunday
Whale biologist Hal Whitehead defines a breach as when more than 40% of the animal is above water, whereas a lunge is when less than 40% appears. I remember that this adult Humpback Whale dropped back into the water straight after this shot, and I'd guess about 40% is on show, so this is a borderline breach. You can see water pouring out of its mouth (especially on the far side) and cascading down its back. I think the top of its pectoral fin is just visible if you zoom in, though it looks oddly absent. That misty area just left of its mouth is actually its breath as it quickly dissipates in the next pictures in the sequence. This was taken at Gorda Banks off the southern tip of the Baja peninsula.
Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum) Amagi shigure in a pot, on my steps. Rich color here is not pumped....it really is that rich. Dissected leaves with very dark veins, it is slow growing but the drama is worth it. I got this one from Oregon, which has an ideal climate for maples who thrive there! Enlarge for details of the dramatic leaves both in color and patterns. This is to remind you all that I am passionate about subjects in addition to vintage cars. I probably have over 30 different varieties of Japanese Maples.
I know! Christmas is over, but how could I not!?

Boca Tapada, Costa Rica, 2015.
It had been raining 24 hours nonstop. Rain was heavy and just when you think there can't be more, it will really start pouring. Maybe I should have thought about why rain forest is called rain forest.

“When we define the Photograph as a motionless image, this does not mean only that the figures it represents do not move; it means that they do not (i)emerge(i), do not (i)leave(i): they are anesthetized and fastened down, like butterflies.”

This was taken from the top of Dante's View in the Amargosa Range looking almost due west across Death Valley to Telescope Peak, the highest point in the Panamint Range at over 11,000 feet.
Death Valley is 282 feet below sea level. It holds the world record for hottest recorded temperature at 134 degrees at Greenland Ranch in 1913. It is also the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere located on dry land.
Death Valley proper is essentially a relatively narrow north-south oriented valley formed by the Panamint Range to the west and the Amargosa Range to the east and is open at both ends, north and south as both defining ranges lose elevation at the extreme ends.

If sometimes you have no idea what kind of photo I am going to post, it's probably because I also have no idea what photo I am going to post, either. I usually decide about 15 seconds beforehand unless there's a birthday or Caturday post. Anyway, this was a reflection of the outside steps along the ceiling of the top floor of the MCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) and I thought ok I like that and can also relate to that. I feel like I don't post photos of my home city of Chicago as often as I should, either.
So...what does it actually mean to be defined by diagonals? There's an element of unpredictability here and perhaps of choice paralysis too....you are constantly caught between two simultaneous directions given the illusion of a shorter distance between points but only if you are brave enough to take it and can survive. So, you may end up feeling trapped with an illusion that you should be feeling more motivated with a clear direction.

The National Trust opened the glorious Secret Garden at Quarry Bank. Riverside walks, meandering paths and raised beds are some of the features that have been rediscovered during restoration work.
Built in 1784 Quarry Bank was one of the world's first factories and became a thriving cotton mill at a defining moment in our history

"If beauty was a drop of water, you'll be the ocean" ;)
My first try of capturing a water drop shot. It was a little bit trickier than what I initially thought. Nevertheless, I got this somewhat respectable beauty. HMM!
Le comportement de ce Geai est difficile à cerner, parfois il est relativement facile à l'approcher à 25m et d'autres impossible à moins de 50m...
Cette photo a été prise dans le jardin public à Bordeaux
The behavior of this Jay is difficult to define, sometimes it is relatively easy to approach it at 25m and others impossible within 50m ...
This photo was taken in the public garden in Bordeaux

The weather is changing from hot and dry to cool and wet. These clouds came surfing in this morning. The image is enhanced to better define the shape of the clouds.

In "representational" photography, I feel that two things are very important: that the gray values carry the bulk of the photographs tactile characteristics, and that preserving a sense of the light quality is extremely important. It's not always easy (or obvious) to achieve both of these things in such a way that they deliver a "believable" photograph. I'd like to think that these qualities are generally present in my work.
Case in point is this photograph, made with the Rolleiflex 2.8E (Planar) on Ilford's exceptionally good FP4+ film. I exposed this roll at 50 ASA, so it received more than one stop more exposure than "box speed", and developed it in Barry Thornton's 2-Bath developer, which is a variation on Divided D-23. This developer never fails to give me exceptionally good negatives that contain loads of usable information, and the images have a smoothness that typically exceed my expectations. The grain structure is always pleasing and there's plenty of sharpness where it's wanted. In many ways, this is the perfect developer.
It's funny, I experimented with Divided D-23 back in 1984/5 and found it gave outstanding negatives, and yet I never used it again, until 2 years ago (in the form of the Thornton modification). Now, it's one of the most appreciated tools in my darkroom.
