The Second Punic War broke out in 218 BC after Hannibal's great Army made the famous military exploit of carrying war to Italy by crossing the Alps with approximatively 37 North African war elephants.

 

The fate of these elephants is tragic. Most died from the cold or from lack of food in the Alps, and the rest died in the first battle of Trebbia in Italy.

They were drunk and wore heavy armor for combat.

This species of North African elephant no longer exists, they were supposed to be smaller than any elephant we know of at the time.

L’exploitation d’une carrière conduit à la création d’habitats devenus rares en Belgique tels que des falaises et arènes rocheuses ou sablonneuses, des éboulis, des mares temporaires, des pelouses calcaires… Ces milieux générés par l’activité extractive permettent l’installation et le développement de nombreuses populations d’espèces pionnières à haute valeur biologique.

L’objectif général du projet LIFE in Quarries est de développer et de pérenniser ce potentiel d’accueil de la biodiversité dans différents sites d’extraction en activité en Wallonie. L’originalité du projet repose sur la mise en œuvre des mesures de gestion de la biodiversité durant la phase d’exploitation de la carrière et non pas uniquement dans le cadre de la réhabilitation en fin d’activité.

Ragondin - Myocastor coypus

Ce gros mammifère semi-aquatique, originaire d'Amérique du Sud, s'est naturalisé en Asie, en Afrique orientale, en Amérique du Nord, en Europe au 19ème siècle pour l'exploitation de sa fourrure bon marché. Tous les individus présents dans ces régions proviennent à l'origine d'évasions ou de lâchers volontaires.

Omniprésente dans le paysage, sur les coteaux aux pentes raides qui montent à l’assaut des collines sous-vosgiennes, la vigne est à la fois l’écrin et le trésor de Riquewihr. Depuis toujours, c’est elle qui assure la prospérité du village. Si ses origines semblent remonter à l’époque romaine, c’est bien au Moyen Âge, grâce à la viticulture, que Riquewihr se développe. Pour protéger les exploitations intra-muros, des remparts sont érigés en 1291, date à laquelle la cité est élevée au rang de ville. Jusqu’au XVIème siècle et la Guerre de Trente Ans, l’activité connaît son âge d’or en Alsace et s’inscrit durablement dans le patrimoine de Riquewihr. Le Dolder, tour-beffroi de 25 mètres de hauteur, la Tour dite "des Voleurs" ou encore le château Renaissance des princes de Wurtemberg-Montbéliard, sont édifiés à cette période, tout comme les riches demeures de négociants, avec leurs hautes façades colorées à pans de bois et leurs balcons richement fleuris.

 

Un grand merci pour vos favoris, commentaires et encouragements toujours très appréciés.

 

Many thanks for your much appreciated favorites and comments.

L'orang-outan est le plus grand mammifère arboricole au monde. Il se déplace de branche en branche par brachiation, bien qu'il n'hésite pas à parcourir d'importantes distances au sol si nécessaire. Ses longs bras qui lui arrivent jusqu'aux chevilles lui permettent des déplacements aisés à travers la forêt tropicale malaisienne et indonésienne. Ces grands singes sont solitaires, les mâles marquent leur territoire en poussant de grands cris amplifiés par leur disque facial et leur sac laryngé.Immensément menacé dans son habitat naturel, les forêts tropicales d'Indonésie, l'orang-outan connaît un déclin massif. En cause, la destruction de la forêt pour l'exploitation du bois et la plantation de palmiers à huile

Le héron garde-boeufs mange des insectes (sauterelles, grillons, mouches), des poissons, des grenouilles, des petits oiseaux, des rongeurs.

 

L’échassier a l’habitude de suivre les troupeaux de grands mammifères herbivores derrière lesquels il trouve sa nourriture. Une relation de symbiose s’installe entre les 2 espèces car le mammifère apporte de la nourriture au héron garde-boeufs et ce dernier le débarrasse des nombreux parasites qui le tourmentent.

 

Il est courant également de l’apercevoir dans les champs derrière des tracteurs ou diverses machines agricoles.

 

Le site alimentaire optimum est composé d’une prairie sèche ou humide de structure végétale hétérogène pâturée par des bovins ou des chevaux, la strate herbacée n’excédant pas 40 à 50 cm. L’association avec le bétail n’est cependant pas systématique. Il fréquente aussi les bordures de fossés, de canaux, d’étangs, les rizières, les décharges et, lorsque les conditions hivernales sont difficiles, les abords des exploitations agricoles, s’aventurant jusqu’à l’intérieur des stabulations.

 

Le Héron gardebœufs consomme une grande variété de proies. Il chasse toutes espèces d’invertébrés dérangés par le bétail qui pâture. L’essentiel de son régime alimentaire est constitué d’amphibiens et d’insectes, surtout des orthoptères, moins fréquemment des coléoptères, des diptères, des lépidoptères, etc… En hiver, il modifie son régime au profit des lombrics, des arachnides, des micromammifères ou encore des reptiles et des insectes. On l’observe également exploitant les dépôts d’ordures.

Great wealth often comes from exploitation, child labor, weapons and drug dealing. Not always but often ...

Selva de Irati, Navarra, España.

 

El bosque o la selva de Irati (Iratiko oihana en euskera) es un bosque repartido entre el norte de Navarra (España) y los Pirineos Atlánticos (Sola y Baja Navarra) en el suroeste de Francia.

 

Por su parte española está situada en el valle del río Irati, entre los montes de Orzanzurieta y Roncesvalles al oeste, y el monte Orhi al este. El límite sur lo pone la imponente mole de la Sierra de Abodi. Los principales accesos son por el oeste por Orbaiceta (Valle de Aézcoa) y por el este por Ochagavía (Valle de Salazar).

 

Se trata de la mayor masa forestal de Navarra y uno de los mayores y mejor conservados bosques de hayas (Fagus sylvatica) y abetos (Abies alba) de toda Europa. A pesar de ser un bosque explotado forestalmente desde los siglos XVI-XVII, el respeto y el buen hacer de los habitantes de estos valles ha hecho que se conserve en total plenitud. Existen dentro de la zona diversos espacios protegidos: todo el Irati es una ZEPA (Zona de Especial Protección de Aves), así como zonas protegidas como Reserva Natural o Reserva Integral del total de 17.000 ha del bosque.

 

The Irati forest or jungle (Iratiko oihana in Basque) is a forest distributed between the north of Navarra (Spain) and the Atlantic Pyrenees (Sola and Lower Navarra) in southwestern France.

 

For its Spanish part, it is located in the valley of the Irati river, between the Orzanzurieta and Roncesvalles mountains to the west, and the Orhi mountain to the east. The southern limit is set by the imposing mass of the Sierra de Abodi. The main accesses are to the west through Orbaiceta (Valle de Aézcoa) and to the east through Ochagavía (Valle de Salazar).

 

It is the largest forest mass in Navarra and one of the largest and best preserved beech (Fagus sylvatica) and fir (Abies alba) forests in all of Europe. Despite being a forest exploited by forestry since the 16th-17th centuries, the respect and good work of the inhabitants of these valleys has made it fully preserved. There are several protected areas within the area: the entire Irati is a ZEPA (Special Bird Protection Area), as well as protected areas such as Natural Reserve or Integral Reserve of the total 17,000 ha of forest.

D’une superficie de 54 km2, le Lac Assal est remarquable à plusieurs points de vue :

Situé à – 153 mètres sous le niveau de la mer, c’est le point le plus bas du continent africain.

C’est une des étendues d’eau les plus salées du monde, avec teneur en sel de 348 grammes par litre : plus élevée que celle de la mer morte. Ce sel, objet de commerce par les nomades Afars depuis des temps immémoriaux, est aujourd’hui exploité de manière industrielle.

Le lac Assal aux eaux turquoises, entouré de sa banquise de sel, elle-même cernée par la lave, est d’une beauté incomparable ...

DON JUAN DE NARBONA 1732

 

It was declared a National Historic monument.

It was a property of Juan Narbona who exploited it like limekiln.

In the year 1738 there was constructed an oratory and a chapel that were the only ones between Montevideo and Villa Soriano

The Estancia de Narbona, (Narbona’s Farm), built by Don Juan de Narbona in 1732, is an archeological relic. Its Chapel and Oratory were the only ones that existed at those times between Montevideo and Villa Soriano. They were related to the Camacho family, and they are near the Camacho Bridge, surrounded by a beautiful park.

Im so behind will try and catch up over the next few days energy levels are very low so please bare with me x

Bernard's Bridge is a well detailed bridge forming the entrance to part of an outstanding example of early 19th century urban planning with a classical design scheme by prominent architect James Milne. The bridge was designed to provide easy access to the Raeburn Estate which Milne was developing, and provided a processional entrance to the estate at Dean Terrace. The provision of a bridge made access to and from the area easier as Telford's high level crossing upstream (see separate listing) had not yet been completed and the Stock Bridge, 200metres downstream, was not widened until circa 1830. The large Jacobean stairs may have been planned as part of the 1888 restoration and improvement work of the nearby St Bernard's Well (see separate listing) which was funded by the publisher William Nelson. The bridge is an integral part of Edinburgh's New Town, which is an outstanding example of classical urban planning that was influential throughout Britain and Europe.

 

The bridge was designed as a key part of the development of the land of Sir Henry Raeburn. The design exploits a prominent site on the river with a broad bowl of flat land to either side providing the ideal place for a crossing. It is likely that Milne was the architect for the bridge as he was working elsewhere on the Raeburn estate, most notably at Ann Street (see separate listings).

 

Henry Raeburn was born in Stockbridge and acquired the house and grounds of Deanhaugh through marriage, before adding adjacent land at St Bernard's. He occupied St Bernard's House until his death in 1823 when it was demolished to accommodate the growing residential development of the estate, making space for the eastern side of Carlton Street. The authorship of James Milne for the whole development is not certain, but the elevations for the principal streets bear the characteristic features of his designs elsewhere, such as Lynedoch Place (see separate listing) where the streetfronting gardens found on Ann Street are also used.

 

James Milne was an architect and mason working in Edinburgh between 1809 and 1834 (when he moved to Newcastle). His other works in Edinburgh also include Lynedoch Place and Saxe-Coburg Place (see separate listings). Milne was also the author of The Elements of Architecture only the 1st volume of which was published in Edinburgh in 1812.

Happy Saturday for Stairs

Ce qui explose, quand explosent les censures imposées par les dirigeants, c'est un ordre moral fondé sur l'exploitation de tous. La famille, la virilité guerrière, la pudeur, toutes les valeurs traditionnelles visent à assigner chaque sexe à son rôle. Les hommes, en cadavres gratuits pour l'État, les femmes, en esclaves des hommes. Au final, tous asservis, nos sexualités confisquées, fliquées, normées. Il y a toujours une classe sociale qui a intérêt à ce que les choses restent comme elles sont, et qui ne dit pas la vérité sur ces motivations profondes.

Успенский собор справа и Благовещенский собор слева....Успенский собор сейчас является главным храмом Московского Кремля, а в XV-XIX веках он был главным православным храмом Русского государства. Здесь венчали на царство всех русских царей. Здесь проходили бракосочетания и крещения. Здесь молились перед военным походом. Здесь избирали митрополитов и патриархов и здесь же их хоронили..Благовещенский собор («соборная церковь Благовещения Пресвятой Богородицы, что у Великого Государя вверху» или «на сенях») — православный храм в Москве, расположенный на Соборной площади Московского Кремля. Освящён в честь Благовещения Пресвятой Богородицы, являлся первым домовым храмом московских великих князей и царей XVI века и первого царя Михаила Фёдоровича до времени постройки Верхоспасского собора....Сияют золотые купола,

Венчая храмов возвеличенные лики,

И отражаются в них годы и века,

Истории сюжеты многоликой.

Горят златые купола,

Отбрасывая солнечные блики,

Отображая словно в зеркалах,

Суровую судьбу страны великой.

Нелёгкую историю славян,

Их витязей на поле брани алые туники,

Что насмерть бились родину храня,

Обороняя Русь от посягательств степи дикой.

От полчищ иноземных басурман,

С мечом пришедших на бескрайние просторы,

И прочих изворотливых тиран,

Творящих разоренье и раздоры.

Но не исчезла и не растворилась Русь

В пределах бесконечных мирозданья,

И сохранила память на века

О подвигах великих и завоеваньях.

И не потухли золотые купола,

Не стёрлись храмов возвеличенные лики,

И отражается в них словно в зеркалах

Суровая история страны великой.

И незачем хвалить и так великую страну,

Она сама заявит о себе как надо,

Но забывать историю не стоит никому,

Да и мечи из ножен тоже доставать не надо.

Терёхин Владимир..............................

  

Assumption Cathedral on the right and Annunciation Cathedral on the left....The Assumption Cathedral is now the main temple of the Moscow Kremlin, and in the XV-XIX centuries it was the main Orthodox church of the Russian state. All Russian tsars were crowned here. Weddings and baptisms took place here. They prayed here before the military campaign. Metropolitans and patriarchs were elected here and buried here.....The Annunciation Cathedral ("the Cathedral Church of the Annunciation of the Most Holy Theotokos that the Great Sovereign has above" or "on the porch") is an Orthodox church in Moscow, located on the Cathedral Square of the Moscow Kremlin. Consecrated in honor of the Annunciation of the Most Holy Theotokos, it was the first house church of the Moscow grand dukes and tsars of the XVI century and the first tsar Mikhail Fedorovich before the construction of the Verkhospassky Cathedral......Golden domes shine,

Crowning temples exalted faces,

And years and centuries are reflected in them,

The stories are many-sided.

Golden domes are burning,

Casting off the sun 's glare,

Displaying as if in mirrors,

The harsh fate of a great country.

The difficult history of the Slavs,

Their knights on the battlefield scarlet tunics,

That they fought to the death keeping the motherland,

Defending Russia from the encroachments of the wild steppe.

From the hordes of foreign basurman,

With the sword of those who came to the boundless expanses,

And other quirky tyrants,

Creating ruin and strife.

But Russia did not disappear and did not dissolve

Within the infinite universe,

And preserved the memory for centuries

About the exploits of the great and conquests.

And the golden domes did not go out,

The exalted faces of the temples have not been erased,

And reflected in them as if in mirrors

The harsh history of a great country.

And there is no need to praise an already great country,

She will declare herself properly,

But no one should forget history,

And you don't need to take swords out of their scabbards either.

Lagos de Covadonga, Asturias, España.

 

Los lagos de Covadonga son dos pequeños lagos, el Enol y el Ercina, de origen glaciar situados en la parte asturiana del parque nacional de los Picos de Europa, en el macizo occidental de dicha cadena montañosa. Existe un tercer lago, el Bricial, que solo tiene agua durante el deshielo, pero también pertenece al conjunto

 

Se sitúan en el concejo de Cangas de Onís y se accede a ellos a través de una carretera de 14,5 km que nace en el Real Sitio de Covadonga para llegar en primer lugar al lago Enol, incluyendo también una pequeña carretera que les llevaría hasta el Lago Ercina. Su frecuente uso desde 1983 como final de etapa en la Vuelta ciclista a España ha popularizado internacionalmente el paraje.

 

La afluencia masiva de turistas, sobre todo aficionados al ciclismo, ha obligado a limitar el desarrollo de pruebas ciclistas en el entorno de Los Lagos. No obstante, la zona cuenta con una infraestructura turística.

 

La excesiva afluencia de visitas, en especial en temporada alta, también ha supuesto que el acceso en coche a los Lagos esté restringido, pudiendo acceder únicamente utilizando el transporte público habilitado para ello. Los vehículos particulares no pueden circular por la carretera de acceso a Los Lagos durante 6 meses al año, en temporada alta. En temporada baja, no hay restricciones de acceso con vehículo particular.

 

En las proximidades del lago Ercina, en Buferrera,​ hasta 1979 se explotaron minas de hierro, manganeso y mercurio. Las personas que visitan dicho paraje tienen a su disposición un aparcamiento "aparcamiento de Buferrera", un centro de visitantes , un refugio y dos bares restaurante para su disfrute.

 

The lakes of Covadonga are two small lakes, Enol and Ercina, of glacial origin located in the Asturian part of the Picos de Europa national park, in the western massif of said mountain chain. There is a third lake, Bricial, which only has water during the thaw, but also belongs to the group

 

They are located in the municipality of Cangas de Onís and are accessed through a 14.5 km road that begins in the Royal Site of Covadonga to first reach Lake Enol, also including a small road that would take them to Lake Ercina. Its frequent use since 1983 as the end of the stage in the Cycling Tour of Spain has made the place internationally popular.

 

The massive influx of tourists, especially cycling fans, has forced the development of cycling events in the Los Lagos area to be limited. However, the area has a tourist infrastructure.

 

The excessive influx of visitors, especially in high season, has also meant that access by car to the Lakes is restricted, with access only possible using public transport enabled for this purpose. Private vehicles cannot circulate on the access road to Los Lagos for 6 months a year, during high season. In low season, there are no access restrictions with a private vehicle.

 

In the vicinity of Lake Ercina, in Buferrera, iron, manganese and mercury mines were exploited until 1979. People who visit this area have at their disposal a parking lot "Buferrera parking", a visitor center, a shelter and two restaurant bars for their enjoyment.

El Rio Tinto recibe su nombre por el color rojo intenso de sus aguas y recorre 100 km atravesando la provincia de Huelva (Andalucía, Sur de España).

 

El color rojo es debido a la presencia de cationes de metales pesados erosionados por causa de la acidez de las aguas (ph tamponado de 2.4, muy ácido). La abundancia de minerales de Pirita y Calcopirita (sulfuros de hierro y cobre) y la presencia de unas extrañas bacterias acidófilas que oxidan estos minerales, generan el ácido sulfúrico que a la postre re-alimenta el proceso de lixiviado de los metales.

 

En el agua del rio sobreviven bacterias, microorganismos y vida en condiciones extremas, la NASA lo está estudiando y ha descrito recientemente este microsistema como el más parecido a Marte que podemos encontrar en la Tierra.

 

Los minerales de cobre, hierro, manganeso, …, se extraen en las explotaciones mineras de Rio Tinto desde hace 5000 años por íberos, fenicios, romanos y musulmanes, y ha sido explotada durante los dos últimos siglos por la compañía británica Rio Tinto Company Limited.

 

En el pequeño pueblo de Rio Tinto se pueden encontrar casas Victorianas, precisamente en los barrios que habitaron los Ingleses durante ese tiempo.

 

Para la visita y el recorrido del cauce del rio puedes contar con Fieldwork Riotinto (rio y minas) .

  

In my por English:

 

Rio Tinto is named for the deep red color of its waters and travels 100 km through the province of Huelva (Andalucía, southern Spain).

 

The red color is due to the presence of heavy metal cations eroded because the acidity of the water (pH 2.4 buffered, strongly acidic). The abundance of minerals Pyrite and Chalcopyrite (copper and iron sulfides) and the presence of strange acidophilus bacteria that oxidize these minerals, generate the sulfuric acid media that eventually re-feeds the process of leaching of metals.

 

In the river water surviving bacteria, microorganisms and life in extreme conditions, NASA is studying this media and has recently described this microsystem as the closest thing to Mars on Earth can find.

 

Copper, iron, manganese, ..., are extracted in the mines of Rio Tinto for 5000 years by Iberians, Phoenicians, Romans and Muslims, and has been exploited for the last two centuries by the British company Rio Tinto Company Limited .

 

In the small town of Rio Tinto Victorian houses can be found precisely in neighborhoods inhabited by the English people during that time.

 

To visit and travel the river bed you can count on Fieldwork Riotinto (rio and mines visits).

  

"È vegetariana o vegana solo una percentuale bassa della popolazione italiana (circa l’8%), ma l’ultimo rapporto dell’IPCC (Intergovernamental Panel on Climate Change) è molto chiaro nel sollecitare la popolazione mondiale “a favore di diete che implicano un minor uso di risorse.” Secondo il rapporto, un deciso cambiamento delle nostre diete in senso vegetariano potrebbe liberare milioni di chilometri quadrati dallo sfruttamento intensivo, riducendo le emissioni di CO2 fino a sei miliardi di tonnellate l’anno rispetto ai livelli attuali.

Ma chi sceglie di diventare vegetariano o vegano non lo fa per un astratto amore verso l’ambiente o per il futuro dell’umanità, quanto piuttosto per la raggiunta consapevolezza della simile sensibilità delle altre specie con la nostra, e del pari diritto alla vita. E’ del 1975 il saggio del filosofo Peter Singer “Liberazione animale”, un testo fondamentale dell’animalismo e dell’anti-specismo.

Ho fotografato alcuni miei amici vegetariani o vegani."

  

"Only a low percentage of the Italian population is vegetarian or vegan (about 8%), but the latest report by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) is very clear in urging the world population" in favor of diets that involve less use of resources. " According to the report, a decisive change in our diets in the vegetarian sense could free millions of square kilometers from intensive exploitation, reducing CO2 emissions by up to six billion tons per year compared to current levels.

But those who choose to become vegetarian or vegan do not do so for an abstract love for the environment or for the future of humanity, but rather for the awareness of the similar sensitivity of the other species to ours, and of the equal right to life. 1975 was the essay by the philosopher Peter Singer "Animal Liberation", a fundamental text of animalism and anti-speciesism.

I photographed some of my vegetarian or vegan friends. "

Tunnel de l'ancienne voie ferrée, dite "ligne du charbon" sur laquelle transitaient les trains de transports de l'anthracite des mines du bassin d'Alès vers la vallée du Rhône, Lyon. L'ancienne voie ferrée est devenue "voie verte" et relie le département de l'Ardèche à celui du Gard. Les deux régions Occitanie et Rhône-Alpes-Auvergne, semblent bien ne pas s'accorder sur la politique de réhabilitation et d'exploitation de la plupart des moyens de transports interrégionaux, dont la voie ferrée de la rive droite du Rhône dont l'exploitation commerciale pourrait se poursuivre après la gare d'Aramon-Pont-du-Gard.

Now this beauty was photographed in Thula Thula game reserve, famous for its elephants. The estate's late owner, Lawrence Anthony published books about their elephants' exploits and his wife, Francoise continues to write about them. On our trips out, the guides knew the names of each elephant..... quite a feat as there are 39 of them!

 

On this morning, the elephant approached the jeep calmly but didnt loiter, he just continued his walk. Most of them are in herds and stick closely together, particularly the very young ones, as you will see in the next few days.

Chardonneret élégant mâle (Carduelis carduelis), Neuchâtel, Suisse.

L’habitat du chardonneret est varié, il niche principalement dans les milieux boisés ouverts, qu'ils soient feuillus ou mixtes. On le trouve ainsi au niveau des lisières, des clairières, sur les arbres isolés, dans les vergers à hautes tiges, les jachères florales, les haies et zones embuissonnées, également dans les gravières les jardins sauvages, les vignobles exploités de manière extensive. On peut aussi l’observer fréquemment dans les quartiers résidentiels, si ceux-ci présentent des jardins naturels. La recherche de nourriture de cet oiseau s'effectue souvent en petits groupes, les espèces végétales recherchées produisant généralement leurs graines en même temps dans un endroit donné.

Les Trompes de Chasse d'Hazebrouck :

 

La trompe de chasse est un instrument de musique français en laiton ou bronze, utilisé pour la vénerie. Issu des instruments de communication cynégétiques signalant par des sons lents ou courts, aigus ou graves, les différentes situations pendant la chasse. Ces instruments étaient faits de cornes d'animaux, de bois puis de cuivre. Les langages exploités par ces instruments s'appelaient les cornures. On chasse alors « À cor et à cri ».

Excerpt from audeladupaysage.com:

 

The small yellow houses of the city were built in the 18th century. They are a mixture of Danish and Dutch influences (many Dutchmen settled in the surrounding area in the 16th century to exploit farmlands).

Au temps où les méga pixels se comptaient sur les doigts d'une main à qui il manquait des doigts...

 

Dans ce #mondeDeMerde, faire ce qu'il faut pour respecter notre organisme tiens de l'exploit !!!

  

Una época en la que los megapíxeles se contaban con los dedos de una mano a la que le faltaban dedos....

 

En este #mundoDeMierda, hacer lo necesario para respetar nuestros cuerpos es toda una hazaña!

  

A time when mega pixels were counted on the fingers of a hand missing fingers...

 

In this #WorldOfShit, doing what's necessary to respect our bodies is quite a feat!

Another session of water drop shots, this time with a light cream and Xantham gum liquid mixture with mostly red colour (but I added some black and blue later on) for the drops. Man, this was tricky! It seems that with this liquid solution, even the amount of liquid in the MIOPS container has an impact on the timing of the drops so I had to alter it quite often. I used the Mirror Up function in the camera to avoid having to deal with shutter lag. Oh, and I filled the container catching the drops with the leftover Xantham gum mixture and water to the brim, exploiting the water's surface tension to hide the container's edge and get as much of an infinity feel as possible.

 

I used 2 Godox speedlights off-camera with the background one variying in power and main one on 1/64. The background one had a gel mounted and the other, with a softbox mounted, illuminated the drop. The background was simply varying semi-transparent plastic binders in front of a white background. ISO 200, 1/250 shutter speed and f/14. Hard-earned lesson: Even the background flash should NOT have too high power (more than 1/16 or even 1/32) - most shots were completely worthless because of motion blur and unfortunately I didn't notice this or even think of it until I saw them on the big screen…tosser I am!

 

Focus was achieved by standing a pen attached to a bunch of Blu Tac in the bowl so it was completely stable. With the camera switched off I fired the MIOPS Splash to see where the drop landed and then positioned the pen accordingly, with the drop landing slightly off-center towards the side facing the camera. Then I focused on the pen using autofocus to get perfect focus. I use back button focus so the camera doesn't try to focus with each shot :)

 

I need to do another session soon to make my flash power/motion blur failure right! I hope you enjoy the shots - I do, although I am not 100% satisfiied.

Después de 15 años fotografiando Benidorm y sus alrededores, el sitio que he visitado más veces y en donde en más ocasiones he disparado mis cámaras, ha sido éste, la Cala de Ti Ximo, a la entrada del parque Natural de Sierra Gelada. Un lugar no demasiado explotado por el turismo y en donde todavía se puede estar mucho tiempo a solas con el mar, sobre todo en temporada baja. Deliciosa cala.

***

After 15 years photographing Benidorm and its surroundings, the site that I have visited more times and where more times I have shot my cameras, it has been this, Cala de Ti Ximo, at the entrance of the Sierra Gelada Natural Park. A place not too exploited by tourism and where you can still be a lot of time alone with the sea, especially in low season. Delicious cove
