The inside of a fast-food restaurant at lunchtime during Ramadan in Tunis. Finding places to eat was a bit rough -- few places were open for lunch, and the ones that were served as packed refuges for all the non-fasting Tunisians, particularly smokers. Most place smelled like, and made my clothes smell like, the glassed-in smoking rooms in airports. The doors are shut tight and windows papered over so fasters don't see non-fasters smoking and eating.
It's such a treat to see a Corsair fly. This one made a pretty intense landing during a simulated mayday at PRS. It looked like a dive-bombing run.

Here are photos from the fast and vigil in Toronto. We held vigil at the constituency office of Joe Oliver, Minister of Natural Resources, promoter of the tar sands industry. We read out the speech delivered by Yeb Saño at COP19, using the mic check method, to be sure those in his office and passers by could hear his words. We shared word of Brigada Kalikasan. Facing his office was the sign: HUNGRY FOR CLIMATE LEADERSHIP and facing traffic was the sign HUNGRY FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE. climatefast.ca in conjunction with Fast for the Earth fastfortheearth.com
Die Neue Moschee (türkisch Yeni Cami) befindet sich im Istanbuler Stadtteil Eyüp, fast am Ufer, am südöstlichen Ende des Goldenen Horns am Südende der neuen Galatabrücke. Sie ist auch unter dem Namen Valide-Sultan-Moschee bekannt, gebräuchlich ist aber der Name Yeni Cami. Die Moschee ersetzte seinerzeit eine Brandruine, weshalb sie "Neue" Moschee genannt wurde. Fertiggestellt wurde sie im Jahre 1663.
Den Auftrag für den Bau der „Neuen Moschee“ wurde im Jahre 1597, von Safiye Sultan erteilt. Sie legte den Grundstein für den Bau der Moschee. Safiye Sultan war die Frau von Sultan Murat III. Fertiggestellt wurde die Moschee, mit viel Mühe, im Jahre 1663, also knapp 70 Jahre später, von Sultan Mehmeds IV. Mutter Hatice Turhan Sultan. Ab diesem Datum stand die Neue Moschee für Gebete und Zeremonien für die Bevölkerung zur Verfügung.
Die Lage der neuen Moschee war damals im Zentrum von Istanbul auf der historischen Halbinsel. Sie liegt nah am Eingang des Ägyptischen Basars. Händler und Reisende waren schon damals von der Schönheit dieser Moschee beeindruckt. Besonders die İznik-Fayencen im Innern der Moschee und der Kuppelbau sind hervorragende Zeugnisse osmanischer Architektur. Der Komplex hat 66 Kuppeln. Weiterhin befinden sich ein Brunnen im Vorhof und ein Balkon und Pavillon des Sultans. Ein beliebtes Ritual ist heute die Taubenfütterung durch Einheimische und Touristen vor der Moschee.

Location: Playground near the Durbanville Municipal Offices
Description: This is my attempt at capturing one of the most challenging photographic subjects of all… the five year old boy!
Enzo was in high spirits when I arrived home from work yesterday, so we both grabbed a camera and went out in search of pictures. I had a few new ideas that I wanted to try, including this game of catch the camera at the roundabout of the Durbanville municipal playground.
The game goes something like this…
He would hold on tight while I spun him faster and faster, and then I’d poke the camera in his face and press the shutter every time he came whizzing past me! His part in the game was to try to catch the camera! His facial expressions left me in no doubt that he was having lots of fun, especially on the few occasions when he did manage to grab hold of my lens!!
For me, this was a fine balance of spinning him fast enough so that he had to hold on tight (more difficult to grab the camera), and slow enough that he didn’t flash past me before I’d managed to focus and shoot.
Technique: Some things to remember when trying this yourself…
Shoot hundreds (and hundreds) of photos (in jpeg fine mode)!! Of the 185 photos that I took at the swings and roundabout, I only captured about ten images that had his face in sharp focus, and where he was looking straight at the camera with his eyes open!
Fit the widest angle lens you have to get in close without cropping the shot too tightly.
Set your camera to Continuous Autofocus (or sports) mode to capture your subject at high speed.
Switch your autofocus mode to do spot point metering, and always aim the lens at your subject’s face.
Use your flash (even on a sunny day) to fill in the shadows and help to freeze the moment.

"Fast Car"
Week 2
This week's challenge was "blur the action." I had planned to try and do a panning photo with some cars outside, but the weather and my schedule didn't align this week. So I enlisted the help of my son and his RC car inside our house. This proved pretty difficult due to the small space and tiny subject. It's not as in focus as I'd like, but it's the best I could do with the short attention span of my assistant.
This is a shot of the training passing through Antibes.
This is one of the TER (regional train) that goes along the whole coast from city to city (nice, antibes, cannes, frejus, ...)
Yesterday's photos were taken right below these tracks, in a tunnel.
I'll be posting other photos of yesterday's light painting session over the week end. Stay tuned!!
