Looking into the Furnace

I was hoping the sun would set on the fenceline but my directions and timing were off a few degrees/seconds…. The sun will always appear to move from left to right as well as downward as it sets. Of course it’s the horizon rising but you already know that. (The sun isn’t moving here, the earth is spinning) . The earth is tilted on it’s axis .

Science Factoid: That tilt is relative to the solar systems flat plane called the ecliptic. All the planets are circling the sun on that plane. The earths north/south axis Currently, the Earth’s axis is tilted 23.5 degrees from the plane of its path/orbit around the sun. But this tilt changes/wobbles like a top. During the long wobble cycle that averages around 40,000 years. (Based on good scientific work eh? )

The tilt of the axis varies between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees. Because this tilt changes, the earth is exposed to differing amounts of energy from the furnace over that interval. Paleoclimatology is something I have dabbled in with an advanced degree in Paleo stuff… . I will tell you the sun is the driver of our climate so one would assume that global changes occur as the way you face the sun. Yup, the climate has been changing since it all started as a pool of molten rock accumulated in a gravity well lol.

SO back to Looking into the Furnace : This time of year, sun sets dramatically from left to right as the horizon rises here. But it rises from left to right at sunrise. (The phrase to google here is Ecliptic solar system). So tracking this and watching it change by the minute was very impressive.

Photographic Musing: Bright bright bright stuff. Shutting the camera down to light ALMOST taken with the lens cap on (it’s that bright lolol)

You only have 3 main things to set on your camera by working it on manual mode. They are: “ISO” (Camera Sensitivity), f-stop (aperture or pupil size of the lens) and Shutter Speed in parts of a second (s). Figure out what is important to you (deep focus or freezing motion?). You set f-stop high for deep focal field . F-stop low for shallow depth of focus field. F-stop takes away light so high f-stop (small hole in the lens) is good for high light situations.

Priority 1 taken care of. Your next priority (2) is ISO (camera sensitivity). Low ISO is ALWAYS best because High ISO give you too much light AND a grainy appearance in the image. So LOW camera sensitivity (or slow ISO 100). High ISO is best for LOW LIGHT situation. Really HIGH ISO over 2000 is for the dark if you need it only. I consider ISO evil to go high with. Last thing on the list is shutter speed which is your variable to adjust the total exposure. You adjust until you get the result you desire.

On an older DSLR reflex type camera, you look at the image on the LCD on the back of the camera body AFTER you take the photo. With a Mirrorless Removable Lens Camera though, you get what you see on the screen INSIDE the camera, WHILE you are moving the dials the image reflects the changes you make. What you see is what you get. Instant feedback, MUCH easier for you to learn on.

So if you made it this far in my text, and your looking at cameras, pick a mirrorless model, preferably a full frame/large sensor camera. Full Frame cameras have higher dynamic range than smaller sensor cameras. Disclaimer: Don’t USE a standard DSLR camera to take sun photos and YOUR camera may not be rated to take this heat. Large sensor cameras spread out that light and don’t melt like some smaller sensor cameras would here. More important, don’t blind yourself in a DSLR even trying this. Seriously!

I've found a few amazing artists this week. One of them being Kirsty Mitchell (featured in Center). Her work is so amazingly creative and unique and you can tell she puts so much work into ever set up for every shoot. so amazing and inspiring! Go get inspired, check out her stream!!

 

another being Alison Scarpulla (featured in bottom right corner). who has such a distinctive and unique style to her photos. I'm so envious, they are all a separate piece of art work and each of them is beyond amazing! go check out her art

so much to choose from. check 'em all out, would ya?

Here's a selection from over the past couple of weeks (maybe 3). Lately, most of my browsing is via the Flickr app, so hopefully I'll enough faves to begin posting FollowFridays on a weekly basis. With y'all, that shouldn't be difficult at all. Just keep on doing what you're doing.

 

The Flickr app itself is alright, if you can get over it's shortcomings. Believe me, there are many. Like I woke up this morning & it said I didn't have any pictures in my photostream. Just about crapped myself. Couldn't breath until I got to the laptop & verified the pictures were still there.

 

Have a great weekend y'all!

This girl right here holds a very very very special place in my heart. That middle picture is the first photo I ever saw by Ali and I have been a HUGE fan of her ever since. But thanks to the wonders of the internet and flickr we are more than just "flickr friends". She is more than just some contact I stalk on flickr. She is someone I stalk in real life. :P She is one of my best friends. She is always there to listen to me bitch about how life isn't fair or rejoice with me when good things happen. She is the sweetest girl you could ever know and I am so blessed to have her in my life. Plus she is an amazing photographer AND she just started a second 365 which you all should be following! And this is the girl who conned me into doing another 365. Haha.

 

I love you Ali -- BIG! I can't even express how much you mean to me. <3 <3 <3

Little update

Today I finally went to the hospital where they are specialized in the neurological system. I had lots of tests but there is one more to go. They want to see the reaction in my brain when the muscles on the left side of my body spasm, I hope I explain it the right way :). They also want me start with a revalidation program so I can learn to walk better again and physiotherapy for the pain. and a speech therapy for my stuttering. I am sorry I haven't been around so much but I hope you all understand. One good thing..thank God I did not have to stay in the hospital so yay for that :)) Have a wonderful weekend flickrfriends and I promise I will keep some of you updated.

Red Fox Marking Post

No this is not just outside Sanford and Son’s and no fake heart attacks here (Do you know the classical reference?)

So Game Trail Cameras play an important role in my understanding of game and predator patterns of movement. I have discovered that every canid that goes by this stick either pees on it or chews on it lolol. Apparently it is a community boundary between Coyotes and Red Foxes. I see Coyotes coming in from the east and these guys from the south. There may be some overlap in their territories but I suspect the two different species are NOT the best of friends. Top of that stick is definitely chewed on by many animals.

These Remote auto cameras definitely clue me in to behavior that I would normally have NO chance in capturing. I could sit down in this gully in a regular wildlife blind for days without any activity with a regular camera. Not that I have anything better to do on any particular day lolol. I think I’ll let the auto cameras do the work. These two were definitely on the hunt though. They just had to pay homage to the marks other left behind as a matter of due course I’m thinking.. 👀😜

Night images via Infra-Red flash are all to capture grainier than daylight images. The quality is more like a well printed newspaper than a high quality/resolution capture from a 5 thousand dollar camera rig. They may be grainy but they sure are Candid!. This is an 18 inch by 18 inch aspect final

The light play, bokeh, and sparkle of a good glass shot is irresistible to me. Check out the work of some of these masters of glass!
