a VORTEX formed from the altar. It began to swirl around, faster and faster picking up speed, a wordless tone hummed deep inside it's belly. Startled by it but not so unaccustomed to this strange phenomenon, she looked inside, knowing a message was about to be delivered, as she had received one only three days before. The last one came with a warning, images of demonic creatures on horseback were in battle. Again she saw these images but this time much clearer. There were many people in a village running for their lives. A castle drawbridge was rising up, men and women could be seen pulling it's chains desperately trying to close it's entrance...She wondered why she could see these images and if this was something that was happening now....she had not realised she had been watching these images for some time now. Her eyes bulged and she transcended into a trance-like state. Reaching over to touch the images and without warning, she was whisked inside.

SOOC in low light and high ASA to emphasize a minimalistic subject. I so enjoy YouTube and often try and learn different approaches. The channel most enjoyable for myself is Andrew Banner.

Nikon F4, 20mm, red filter.
Developed and Scanned at home.
An artistic rendering of a macro view of a Pop It Topper bubble fidget toy. The frame represents a span of two-inches across.
Those who are not familiar with Pop It Toppers can click the below link to a Wikipedia article about them (with pictures). The version I photographed (in its entirety) is a very small topper with only four bubbles on it.
Strobist info:
The scene was illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights and a steady LED light. The SB900s were placed CL/CR and fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄32 power through 24" gridded soft boxes and triggered by PocketWizard Plus Xs. The LED was placed @ 11-o'clock.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D(AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro) with 12mm + 20mm extension tubes attached.
I know this is all a bit yuk to some but I have found this incredibly fascinating. This is the Poplar Hawk Moth Caterpillar becoming a chrysalis, it's head and little feet die off first like you can see here and then within a few hours they are totally brown.
Forma parte del "Parque Nacional Bernardo O'Higgins", en la región de Magallanes. Navegando por el fiordo Última Esperanza, se encuentra a 3 horas y media en barco desde (Puerto Natales). Y luego, hay que caminar por un sendero, bordeando la Laguna Serrano, hasta ver la vista de la foto.

To gain control of the world of space is certainly one of our tasks. The danger begins when in gaining power in the realm of space we forfeit all aspirations in the realm of time. There is a realm of time where the goal is not to have but to be, not to own but to give, not to control but to share, not to subdue but to be in accord. Life goes wrong when the control of space, the acquisition of things of space, becomes our sole concern.
Nothing is more useful than power, nothing more frightful. We have often suffered from degradation by poverty; now we are threatened with degradation through power. There is happiness in the love of labor; there is misery in the love of gain. Many hearts and pitchers are broken at the fountain of profit. Selling himself into slavery to things, man becomes a utensil that is broken at the fountain.
AS CIVILIZATION ADVANCES, the sense of wonder almost necessarily declines. Such decline is an alarming symptom of our state of mind. Mankind will not perish for want of information, but only for want of appreciation. The beginning of our happiness lies in the understanding that life without wonder is not worth living. What we lack is not a will to believe but a will to wonder.
-Thunder in the Soul To Be Known by God, Abraham Joshua Heschel
The Common Cuckoo shows two adult plumage morphs—adult male plumage is grey and adult females are either grey or, less frequently, rufous.
The situation is less clear in juveniles, as both sexes exhibit variable proportions of grey and rufous colour. We thus describe the patterns related to sex-specific plumage colour variation in a central European Cuckoo population.
These eight columns form a sculpture in the pedestrians section at the eastern end of Century Avenue, close to Century Square. 8 is the Chinese "lucky number".
This is a "vertigo" perspective of the sculpture in the previously uploaded shot.. And no, I did not lay on the ground to do this: The camera was on a tripod, just 30 cm above ground level, aligned with the axis of the artwork, the lens positioned above the center of the artwork (axis and center are marked by the joints of the granite floor tiles), the horizontal camera adjustment was done using a spirit level.

After British Railways was first formed in 1948, the original idea for the express passenger train livery was crimson and cream coaches paired with blue steam locomotives. Sadly, this very attractive combination was short lived, however today it was seen once again over the Settle & Carlisle line.
A4 Pacific No. 60007 'Sir Nigel Gresley' looks fantastic working hard pass Greengates with the return 'Settle & Carlisle Fellsman' charter, running as 1Z47 Carlisle - Crewe.

Form, light, shade and aesthetic purity coalesce in the historic tenth century royal palace in Seville. Formerly the site of the Islamic era citadel of the city, the citadel was developed into a larger palace complex by the Abbadid dynasty and Almohads through the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth centuries. A difficult image to capture.
In our earth-lab, a life form has existed randomly, thanks to the reaction of atoms of the ingredients which were already there, in the lab, for the creation of this life form. It has started to develop and expand on the earth, randomly. Later, after billions of years, it got conscious, randomly , but not all life forms have headed to the same direction. The evolution occurred according "the tree of life”.
Speculation:
Big bang has sealed the fate of our future by creating the atom based universe, like all the necessary ingredients were put in a beaker, in a chemical lab, to become the expected ( not randomly) chemical solution.
A life form is the expected result, depending of the time, of the existence and reaction of ingredients in a beaker.

"La forma di un istante"
Si tratta piuttosto di una metafora poetica o filosofica che suggerisce l'idea che un momento brevissimo e sfuggente (l'istante) possa avere una sua struttura, un suo contenuto o una sua influenza ben precisa.
In un contesto artistico o letterario: potrebbe riferirsi al tentativo di catturare la natura effimera e transitoria di un momento nel tempo, come in una fotografia o in una poesia, per dargli una "forma" eterna o duratura.
"La forma di un istante" è già di per sé un'espressione suggestiva e poetica, che evoca l'idea di catturare l'essenza fugace di un momento.
Nel senso artistico, la "forma di un istante" si può interpretare come la capacità di un'opera di catturare, bloccare e dare forma all'effimero, al fugace e all'invisibile. Questa trasformazione avviene attraverso vari mezzi espressivi, come la linea, la luce, il colore o la composizione, che fissano un momento irripetibile e lo rendono eterno. Si tratta di un'operazione che va oltre la mera rappresentazione, mirando a catturare l'essenza di un attimo, l'emozione che lo pervade o il movimento implicito al suo interno
I pittori impressionisti cercavano di catturare l'impressione visiva di un momento specifico, spesso focalizzandosi sugli effetti della luce e del colore in un determinato istante (ad esempio, Monet e le sue serie sulla Cattedrale di Rouen in diverse ore del giorno).
This scene made me do a double take. Had some alien life form washed ashore? The infrared makes the live matter look ghostly white.
Star forming region in Cassiopeia.
So many structures to see in this nebula, it is full of pillars and interesting formations.
The Soul Nebula, also known as IC 1848, is an emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. It's about 100 light-years across and is located about 6,500 light-years from Earth.
Characteristics:
The Soul Nebula is close to the Heart Nebula, another large emission nebula.
The Soul Nebula is connected to the Heart Nebula by a bridge of material.
La fotografía plasma nuestra forma de ser, vivencias y estados de ánimo, en ella reflejamos nuestras vivencias, viajes y momentos de la vida.
Con un poco de tiempo, mirando hacia atrás en el archivo, puedes observar los diferentes procesos y vivencias que te han pasado plasmado en imágenes.
Las fotos nos traen los mejores recuerdos del tiempo pasado con nuestros amigos, mano a mano en la localización.
Muchos de vosotros me comentáis que muchas de mis fotos están subexpuestas, si, es verdad; pero es un reflejo más del momento.
Tengo un amigo que dice, "lo importante no es la foto, sino estar allí para hacerla", no puedo más que dar la razón. A mí, personalmente, mis fotos me trasladan a momentos, por ejemplo “Lofoten under the moon light”, me lleva a ver a mi amigo Iñaki Larri ayudándome a poner la batería de mi cámara mientras yo no podía no doblar los dedos, la foto al final es lo de menos, lo que me queda es el recuerdo. Esa foto me trasladará al puente cada vez que la vea, y podré volver a ver fugar las nubes acariciadas por el huracán Ole a la luz de la luna.
Mi primera serie de las Bardenas viene tras llegar en el coche con mi primo y un amigo, risa tras risa, esa serie tiene algo especial que no sabría describir.
En muchos de mis procesados, veo los consejos y las bromas con Dario Sastre por el teléfono.
Llegar a esta conclusión me ha llevado tiempo; pero al final no me llevo las fotos, me llevo recuerdos, soy incapaces de recordar una foto tal y cómo es; pero podríamos describir perfectamente el momento que viví cuando la ejecuté.
Normalmente, cuanto más grande es el recuerdo, mejor suele ser la foto, parece como si un trozo de nosotros se quedará plasmado en la imagen, dejando nuestra firma en ellas.
The Firth of Forth (Scottish Gaelic: Linne Foirthe) is the estuary or firth of Scotland's River Forth, where it flows into the North Sea between Fife to the north (seen in the distance) and Lothian to the south. It was known as Bodotria in Roman times. Geologically, the Firth of Forth is a fjord, formed by the Forth Glacier in the last glacial period. Many towns line the shores, including North Berwick in East Lothian, from where this shot was taken. The island - Craigleith - is one of eleven in the firth and most of them are the remnants of some form of volcanic activity.
