Just another sunset shot.
My "Photos for Poems" are now being lodged in an old abandonned blog I decided to retrieve and transform. It's still under construction, but you can visit it already. Perhaps you won't understand the language, but I'm also posting photos there. I've got zillions of them and I have to spend them elsewhere... :-) I'd be enchanted to receive you there whenever you wish.
The sun, the clouds an the tree: An evening scene just a few steps away from my house near Rechtmehring, Upper Bavaria.

This is the first post with my new 15 mm Zeiss. Finally! I have had the lens since the holidays, and I have been skunked the last 10 times while using it. Everyone was telling me that the lens was cursed, and people didn't want to shoot with me if I was going to bring it. My new lens was the scapegoat for all the bad sunrises and sunsets. Today I am happy to report the curse has been lifted, and I have even captured some bomber sunrises/sunsets with it.
OK about the photo:
This shot was taken last weekend with a good friend of mine, Steve, who shares a passion for long exposures. It was a really fun shoot, and my arms were noodles from exhaustion. I was able to capture the beams on the lighthouse by leaving my shutter open with a ski cap covering the lens. I would follow one light beam, and line it up with a star in the sky. Every time that light beam crossed paths with the star, I lifted the ski cap off exposing the light. I would do this for 5 minutes lifting the ski cap off roughly every 10 seconds. I literally burned the solitary light beams onto the sensor. After experimenting all night, I found that F/4 at ISO 2000 for 5 minutes was the winning combo.
I then made a separate exposure for the the foreground/lighthouse at F/4, ISO 100 for 8 minutes. The light source from the tower provided lots of light to expose the deck and railings.
Thanks for Looking, and wishing everyone a happy rainy Thursday!

Mandala demo @ St.Merry church :
Maṇḍala (मण्डल) is a Sanskrit word that means "circle". In the Hindu and Buddhist religious traditions their sacred art often takes a mandala form. The basic form of most Hindu and Buddhist mandalas is a square with four gates containing a circle with a center point. Each gate is in the shape of a T.

I apologize to all previous viewers of this picture, but I had to reload this image due to the recent Flickr follies.
La Ilustración fue la culminación del racionalismo renacentista en el siglo XVIII. Es la crítica que adopta la burguesía frente al orden ya establecido.

In the Light of Sentiment (Where Summer will Set)
Just one spot of land
in one moment of time
but it is so, so, so monumental
if it wants
and it does, and it does
Over and over go these thoughts
do they matter,
anymore
I wonder,
yes, I still wonder
Toward the light of day
if clouds don't have their way
such a seldom seen slim dream
in these times...
oh for those days!
Working together
for the benefit of Mr. Kite?
that's time apart
but the relevance, the relevance
still sings true does it not
Tangled in the quest for...?
it's no longer anything
that can be physically felt
just a digital desire
and even that's misspelt
Hang on a minute, will you!
it's all it takes
or maybe even less
if you are patient
there are seconds left to caress
Now we're talking!
we're in business
where time is...
no, let's not go down that path
alter the ways the sign says
And gather yourself you durable soul!
this is the everlasting
a design for life, yes?
without a manic moment to lose
every path leads to Mother Nature, the preacher noblesse
No less, no less,
for She instils so much as she wills
the survival of the fittest mind
never too soon is Her enlightenment
upon this poorly weathered summer maligned
Heaven help us, if you please
we're courteous in prayer upon our knees
and that is saying something
that falls on every heart
for the heart is never without
the sense of touch, sight and sound
it's everything that She intended so profound.

This picture was taken on the first night when we got to Canada. According to weather report, we would get cloud or snow weather all the time of our trip except the first night. So, we decided to go there to give it a shot. Just get our Rocky Mountains Milky Way checked:-)
This photo was combined with two shots, one for milky way with f/2.8, ISO 6400, and 20"; another for foreground with f/2.8, ISO 800, and 5 minutes. When I shot foreground, I also used in camera noise reduction for long exposure.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look of my pictures. Your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!!
