I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. ~Henry David Thoreau
I deliberately took this in low light (on my way home from dinner at the local Irish pub... ), to see what I could get with the new camera. I have to admit that the P&S wouldn't have taken a shot worth looking at in the same conditions....
A flat image of a lacklustre day on a flat landscape.
I've deliberately pushed my own 'compositional rules' with this one. Not sure it works or how it might relate to others. Time will tell.

Thank you.
I KNOW THIS IS NO WINDOW. DELIBERATE POST TO SEE IF THERE IS ADMIN. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE LEFT THE GROUP...
Abstract photos deliberately hide something. If the viewer can’t distinguish the subject, the subject could be anything. There is a sense of mystery.
Well after deliberating whether to post this or not, I decided to give it an airing! This is the wall on Lingmoor as it falls away down to Side Pike. It has been done so many times and in much better conditions I wasn't going to bother with it. The light was very harsh and the colour in the heather had just turned up here but its still a great place to be, especially with the company of two fellow flickrites. So here it is!
The shadowy peaks of the Langdale Pikes and the flanks of Bow Fell lie either side of the Mickleden Valley in the background.
Deliberate holes spotted in a blocked up window along the back wall of a building. Note sure what they are for, ventilation maybe, but who knows?
Have You Ever Seen The Rain - I deliberately tried to shoot at a slower shutter speed here to extend the raindrops. Was tough maintaining a good keeper rate in these conditions, but was a lot of fun to capture this image before fleeing the grasslands to the car.
One of the few wildlife rain images I have captured over the years. Recently, I've set a goal for myself in 2023 to incorporate more habitat and elemental conditions in my images - i.e. background/setting, rain, snow, wind etc.

This has been the first image of Spring and deliberately I overexposed to test out Lightroom 5 capabilities.
Thanks for today's post editing tools you can not only save the image and also develop further to get some stunning results.
This one can be further progressed. No doubt my camera club members ready to offer critique which only makes you a better photographer
A year ago. I have deliberately looked through August 2019 shots to see what's going on in Braeside now. Striated Pardalote (Pardalotus Striatus)
The grey squirrel was deliberately introduced to England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland from North America in the Victorian era. Since then, it’s colonised 90% of England and Wales and is becoming a problem in Scotland.
Grey squirrels are responsible for the decline in native red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) numbers.
The Wildlife Trusts estimates there are only around 140,000 native red squirrels left in the UK, compared to 2.5 million grey squirrels.
There have been many scientific studies which have shown that the major contributing factor for the decline of the red squirrel is the introduction of its grey cousin.
As well as outcompeting the red squirrel for shelter and food, grey squirrels can transmit the squirrelpox virus to red squirrels, to which they themselves are immune but red squirrels are not.
Once a red squirrel has squirrelpox, it’ll usually die of dehydration within 2 weeks. The grey squirrel can carry the disease, but their health is unaffected.
Port side view of the wreck of the SS Amadeo.
The steam transport ship SS Amadeo, or at least what is left of it. Built in 1892, she was deliberately grounded in 1932 off the beach in San Gregorio, at the southern tip of Chile. Since then she has rusted away to the state shown here.
Crazy Tuesday - theme of September 10, 2019 - Abstract / Abstracto
🎵 Soundtrack: Jonathan Jeremiah - Happiness 🎵
My muse left me sometime between August and September for an obviously extended vacation and time is currently scarce ... so I had to resort to use an archive photo ...
... deliberately and experimentally out of focus image of colourful game pieces (small marble-sized wooden balls lit only by candlelight) - the originally uploded photo you can see in the first comment ... I can remember that I had a lot of fun taking blurry images this evening :))
Happy Crazy Tuesday, everyone !!
I will be browsing later in the evening

.... bewusst und experimentell unscharfes (Ab-)Bild bunter Spielfiguren (Holzkugeln in der Größe von Murmeln, die nur mit Kerzenlicht beleuchtet wurden) - das ursprünglich hochgeladene Foto ist im ersten Kommentar zu sehen.
Zum Thema: Abstrakt (Crazy Tuesday)
... diesmal ein Archivfoto, da mich die Muse (und Zeit) gerade etwas in Stich lassen !
Einen schönen Dienstag euch allen !
From Wikipedia: Here (on the Temple Mount) King Solomon built the First Temple almost 3,000 years ago. It was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE, but, 70 years later, Jews returning from exile built the Second Temple on the same site. King Herod began remodeling the building in 19 BCE, but it was not completed until 63 CE, long after his death at the beginning of the century.
In reaction to the “Great Revolt” in 70 CE, the temple was destroyed by the Romans and deliberately left in ruins. When the Romans razed the Temple, they left one outer wall standing. They probably would have destroyed that wall as well, but it must have seemed too insignificant to them since it was not part of the Temple itself, just a retaining wall surrounding the Temple Mount.
After the suppression of the revolt, Jews were allowed to pray on the ruins and to bring sacrifices on the alter that remained after the temple was burned down. Emperor Hadrian later gave Jews permission to rebuild the temple but changed his mind. After the Bar-Kokhba rebellion, Hadrian barred Jews from the area and they prayed instead on the Mount of Olives that overlooked the Temple Mount.
There is some evidence the Byzantines may have built a church on the Temple Mount at one point but the prohibition on Jews praying there remained under Emperor Constantine, who allowed them access only on Tisha B’Av. When his nephew Julian became emperor in 361, Jews were again allowed to visit the Temple Mount and were even given permission to rebuild the temple. When Julian died two years later, however, his successor canceled the project and Christian opposition to a Jewish presence continued throughout the Byzantine period.
At various times Jews may have been allowed to pray on the Temple Mount but, wherever they lived, Jews would pray three times a day in the direction of the Temple Mount for the temple’s restoration.
Following the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem in May 638, which Jews supported, Caliph Omar ibn al-Khattab ordered the clearing of the site and the building of a house of prayer. The Temple Mount was again opened to Jewish worshippers.
In 680, the Muslims built the Dome of the Rock to enshrine the outcrop of bedrock believed to be the place of the sacrifice on Mount Moriah. Nadav Shragai quotes Professor Dan Bahat who found “‘it was the Jewish elders who showed the Muslims the boundaries of the Foundation Stone,’ which was covered with garbage and sewage – boundaries from which the Muslims derived the dimensions of the Dome of the Rock, which was built above the ancient Rock.”

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Now with cities around the world on lock down, the store window mannequins become the sentinels over-watching the streets outside. The uncomfortable angle is deliberate for this very reason. Enjoy!
I deliberately chose a medium F8 aperture for this shot and focused on the castle so that the defocused thistles in the foreground lead towards the main subject.
The picture was taken on a bright Summer day with hardly a cloud in the sky. I decided to convert to black and white to emphasise the different textures in the castle and the smooth reflection, and I think it makes a more interesting result than the colour version.

something a little different - a deliberately overexposed handheld shot taken on London's Southbank last week.

These Kniphofia or Red Hot Pokers, also known as Torch Lilies, are from South Africa.
All three photographs today have been underexposed deliberately by two to three stops and then the luminosity has been raised in processing to give the desired effect. This is best viewed enlarged.

Whilst deliberating on the light at Stalker Iain and I both spotted the potential of this row of trees on a small island in Loch Laich. It was time to break out my 50-200mm and simplify the scene with the distant rocky hills across Loch Linnhe providing an impressive backdrop.
I met this little lady on the trail. She was shy but came right over for a meet and greet and a soft pat on the head. Such a sweet thing. I’ve never met a golden retriever I didn’t like. They are such pleasant companions.
Had to stitch 5 images together to get the full scene in - I like the balance and the perspective - the path is clearly the way into the scene - and takes you through most of it. Very deliberately positioned myself so no tree trunk crossed/overlaped - so feeling quite pleased with myself :-)

ENG: The Dockland is an office building on the Elbe River near the former England ferry terminal in Hamburg's Altona old town district. The six-storey building has a striking cross-section in the form of a parallelogram and protrudes over the water like a ship's bow.
The Futuristic Building was finished at the end of 2005 and opened in January 2006. A special feature is that the building has diagonal passenger elevators and a roof terrace of almost 500 m² at a height of 25 metres. It requires 136 steps on one of the two open staircases to reach the publicly accessible platform. This then offers a good view over Hamburg harbour and the northern banks of the Elbe.
GER: Das Dockland ist ein Bürogebäude an der Elbe in der Nähe des ehemaligen England-Fähranlegers im Hamburger Stadtteil Altona-Altstadt. Das sechsgeschossige Gebäude hat einen markanten Querschnitt in Form eines Parallelogramms und ragt wie ein Schiffsbug über das Wasser hinaus.
Das Futuristische Gebäude wurde Ende 2005 fertiggestellt und im Januar 2006 eingeweiht. Eine Besonderheit ist, dass im Gebäude diagonal verkehrende Personenaufzüge sind sowie eine fast 500 Quadratmeter große Dachterrasse auf 25 Meter Höhe. Es benötigt 136 Treppenstufen auf einer der beiden Freitreppen um die Öffentlich zugängliche Plattform zu erreichen. Diese bietet dann einen guten Blick über den Hamburger Hafen und das nördliche Elbufer.

iPhone 8+ and iPad Pro 10,5 / Picture ArtWork / Software Affinity / I deliberately edited the photo in black and white because the weather was not very good that day.
People deliberately framed themselves from the outside (and today literally cruel and nasty) world. They are stealing time for themselves. Ironically, they are simultaneously robbing themselves of time (smoking leads to generally shorter lifetime).
I deliberately heavily over exposed this shot of a surfer on the beach at Messanges, to give an abstract, surreal and dreamlike quality. Just experimenting & the result was quite pleasing and reminds me of a watercolour.
quiet over attention.
deliberate movement toward peace.
depth over display.
silence over spectacle.
consistency over chaos.
unmoved by cliques, clout, or curated personas.
drawn instead to those who think for themselves,
stand on their own,
and don’t need an audience.
what’s protected stays protected
time, circle, my relationship, creativity.
access is earned, never assumed.
no chasing validation, trends, or borrowed confidence.
building continues.
observation sharpens.
noise is left behind.

integrity remains non-negotiable.
remaining true to who i am.

Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias)
Hyatt Lake - Jackson County - Oregon - USA
"Whether poised at a river bend or cruising the coastline with slow, deep wingbeats, the Great Blue Heron is a majestic sight. This stately heron with its subtle blue-gray plumage often stands motionless as it scans for prey or wades belly deep with long, deliberate steps. They may move slowly, but Great Blue Herons can strike like lightning to grab a fish or snap up a gopher. In flight, look for this widespread heron’s tucked-in neck and long legs trailing out behind..... Great Blue Herons have specialized feathers on their chest that continually grow and fray. The herons comb this “powder down” with a fringed claw on their middle toes, using the down like a washcloth to remove fish slime and other oils from their feathers as they preen. Applying the powder to their underparts protects their feathers against the slime and oils of swamps."

So far, abstract photos have (with the notable exception of my Wax series) been a by-product of my photography, something that happened while I was shooting architecture or landscapes.
However, I have been encouraged by several photography friends (here on FlickR, most notably by Walerija Weiser) to focus more on my abstract photography and not let its lesser popularity on social media keep me from producing and sharing it in public. So, one of my resolutions for 2020 is to follow this advice and not only post more abstract work but also to go out and intentionally shoot it on purpose. To set the mood for this new goal and the work that will hopefully come of it, I'd like to share a couple of abstract architectural shots, which quite nicely fit into my Deliberately Confusing series.
As always, there's more on www.chm-photography.com.
Enjoy!
Deliberately turned down the white balance a bit to create a different mood. Hope to start showing some more work from now on.. has been a bit busy lately with other stuff.
This is a deliberately minimal image. So much was moving during this long exposure - sea and sky - and I wanted to show the resolute, steadfast nature of the cliffs in the face of all this. However, I am pretty sure that even the cliffs would have also been moving in tiny increments
by losing fragments of material from this Atlantic pounding. The exposure betrays the chaos that was going on.

With this colorful photo, which was deliberately taken with this motion blur, I wish you all a wonderful Poppy-Monday and of course the rest of the week.
We can see a lot of ourselves by looking at the poppy flowers and grasses moving back and forth in the summer wind.
As a rule, we too are firmly anchored to the earth, even if only because of our personal values. Each of us has something within us that is immovable. No matter what is happening around and no matter how much the wind of life pulls and shakes us. We shape these values ourselves. Based on the experiences we have in our lives. The strongest of them usually come from our childhood.
Most of the time, these roots serve our protection and stability. With them we are able to withstand even the harshest storms, to stand against the wind or, if necessary, to bend to it at times. Thanks to the anchor, we always stay where and who we are despite everything and are able to pick ourselves up again and again.
But sometimes we realize that our values, or rather the way we weight them, prevent us from developing ourselves. That we are trying to bloom in the wrong place, so to speak. Then it is up to us (because no one else can do this for us) to change our anchor point.
The key is always to be aware or make ourselves aware of what makes us flourish and what makes us wither.
And so I wish you all a stable and at the same time dynamic week. With lots of sun and fresh wind.
Mit diesem farbenfrohen Foto, welches bewusst mit dieser Bewegungsunschärfe fotografiert wurde, wünsche ich Euch allen einen wunderschönen Mo(h)ntag und natürlich auch eine ebensolche Restwoche.
Durch den Anblick die Mohnblüten und Gräser, die sich im Sommerwind hin und her bewegen, können wir viel von uns selbst erkennen.
Auch wir stehen, in der Regel, fest verankert auf der Erde und sei es auch nur auf Grund unserer persönlichen Werte. Jeder von uns trägt etwas in sich, was unverrrückbar ist. Ganz gleich was um und herum geschieht und ganz gleich wie sehr der Wind des Lebens an uns zieht und rüttelt. Diese Werte prägen wir selbst. Und zwar auf Grund der Erfahrungen, die wir in unserem Leben machen. Wobei die stärksten davon meist aus unserer Kindheit stammen.
Meist dienen diese Wurzeln unserem Schutz und unserer Stabilität. Mit Ihnen sind wir in der Lage auch härtesten Stürmen zu trotzden, uns dem Wind entgegen zu stellen oder uns ihm, wenn erforderlich, auch zeitweise beugen. Durch den Anker bleiben wir trotz Allem immer wo und wer wir sind und sind in der Lage uns immer wieder aufzurichten.
Doch manchmal stellen wir fest, das unsere Werte oder besser gesagt die Art, wie wir sie gewichten, uns an der eigenen Entfaltung hindern. Das wir sozusagen am falschen Ort versuchen zu blühen. Dann liegt es an uns (denn kein anderer kann dies für uns tun) unseren Ankerpunkt zu verändern.
Das Entscheidende dabei ist immer, sich bewusst zu sein oder sich bewusst zu machen, was uns blühen und was uns welken lässt.
Und so wünsche ich Euch allen eine stabile und gleichzeitig dynamische Woche. Mit viel Sonne und frischen Wind.

I deliberated over what I could do for a night shot in these parts...
Vancouver has some beautiful possibilities, but it's an hour (minimum) drive one way and it is chilly January, right?
Even prettier is our capital city of Victoria, which involves a ferry boat ride and an overnight stay.
Instead I opted to capture what you might see every night here in the agricultural belt. :-)
