“There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative. Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.”- Henri Cartier-Bresson

I do not even know the things I do not know. I can, however, imagine my limitations and turn them into an image. It reminds me that I can not see all there is to see. My vision is limited - cutting down all there is to see to that portion that is familiar to me. My photography is not like a mirror, it is rather a much-broken mirror focussing only on a fraction of what may be there.

I'm re-posting this today (July 4th) for two reasons:
1) It actually feels like summer in San Francisco right now! :)
and
2) It's currently featured on Aline Smithson's L E N S C R A T C H blog - The Lenscratch Summer Exhibition:

Netherlands, Lisse, … a tiny fraction of a tulip field with millions of tulips in one colour next to a number of other fields with differently coloured tulips between the Keukenhof Park & the road to the village of Ruigenhoek.
“Keukenhof”, meaning kitchen garden, the park is situated near the town of Lisse.
The park is situated near the town of Lisse & is one of the world's largest flower gardens, therefor as known as the Garden of Europe.
On 32 hectares with approx.15 km of walking routes in the park bloom in spring with the annually main emphasis on more than 7 million flower bulbs in 800 different varieties of tulips also many other flowers well combined & arranged along the walking routes. Keukenhof is one of the world's largest flower gardens, therefor as known as the Garden of Europe, situated near Lisse.
The park is open annually only from mid-March to mid-May when the tulips are flowering. The best time to view the tulips is around mid-April.

Pashmina scarfs were a fraction of the cost in Qatar hence Mother and daughter brought a 'few' home.
Pashmina accessories are available in a range of sizes, from "scarf" (12" x 60") to "wrap" or "stole" (28" x 80") to full sized shawl (36" x 80"). Pure pashmina is a rather gauzy, open weave, as the fibre cannot tolerate high tension. The most popular pashmina fabric is a 70% pashmina/30% silk blend, but 50/50 is also common. The 70/30 is tightly woven, has an elegant sheen and drapes nicely, but is still quite soft and light-weight. A blend of pure pashmina wool and silk gives strength and durability to the pashmina. As a general rule though, the higher content of pashmina wool, the more expensive the textile.
Villa Moll
Tal como en el caso de Las Marianas, que la venta de tierras a la empresa ferroviaria Compañía General de Ferrocarril en la Provincia de Buenos Aires, precedió a la traza y loteo del pueblo, surge Moll, primero como proyecto de estación ferroviaria e inmediato desarrollo del pueblo.
Las tierras de la estación Moll fueron donadas por el matrimonio compuesto por doña Manuela Moll de Pardo y don Acacio Pardo, quienes materializan la transferencia de titularidad por escritura firmada en la ciudad de La Plata el 31 de enero de 1908 ante el escribano Alberto Haedo. Las tierras donadas para la constitución definitiva del pueblo era de una extensión estaba compuesta de dos fracciones: una de 96 hectáreas, de las cuales 68 hectáreas fueron destinadas al trazado del ejido de 40 manzanas y parcelas; 16 hectáreas fueron destinadas a calles y avenidas públicas y las 14 hectáreas restantes fueron reservadas con destino a las tierras ferroviarias; la otra fracción, de 43,95 hectáreas para tierras de traza de vías.
La pujante localidad de Villa Moll, está establecida en una zona de altas y productivas tierras navarrenses. Hoy residen en ella algo más de seiscientos habitantes, y su economía se basa en lo que producen sus campos a lo que se suman pequeñas empresas (fabricas de productos lácteos, acopio de cereales). La composición de sus suelos los hacen óptimos para la explotación agrícola y en ellos se cultivan con excelentes resultados maíz, trigo, girasol y soja. Asimismo la producción ganadera es protagonista en la zona, destacándose la cría de ganado bovino.

Villa Moll
As in the case of Las Marianas, that the sale of land to the railway company Compañía General de Ferrocarril in the Province of Buenos Aires, preceded the layout and subdivision of the town, Moll emerges, first as a railway station project and immediately developed from town.
The lands of the Moll station were donated by the couple composed of Mrs. Manuela Moll de Pardo and Mr. Acacio Pardo, who materialized the transfer of title by deed signed in the city of La Plata on January 31, 1908 before the notary Alberto Haedo. The land donated for the definitive constitution of the town was of an extension was composed of two fractions: one of 96 hectares, of which 68 hectares were destined to the layout of the ejido of 40 manzanas and plots; 16 hectares were allocated to streets and public avenues and the remaining 14 hectares were reserved for the railway lands; the other fraction, of 43.95 hectares for traces of track.
The thriving town of Villa Moll, is established in an area of high and productive Navarrese land. Today, there are more than six hundred inhabitants living there, and its economy is based on what their fields produce, to which small companies are added (dairy factories, grain storage). The composition of their soils makes them optimal for agricultural exploitation and they are cultivated with excellent results corn, wheat, sunflower and soybean. Likewise, livestock production is the protagonist in the area, especially cattle breeding.
A fraction of a second before there were five turtles basking on this log, and a second later they'd all disappeared beneath the surface. I was pleased to capture this algae-covered turtle in mid leap.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated

Strokkur geyser
Geyser a fraction of a second before it blew.
This geyser erupts every 10 to 15 minutes.
Leading up to an eruption the water raises and subsides, then raises a bit more and subsides, and a bit more...
This is the geyser that gave us the term "geyser" as it was the first known to Europeans. It is east of Reykjavik, Iceland and part of the "Golden Circle" tour
Adult pausing for a fraction of a second while feeding 2nd sitting babies that have not yet learned to catch insects or to fly (though they had by the next day) - yet they need to be ready within days to fly 6000 miles south to their winter habitat.... and the parents need to get them trained before they head off themselves, as they soon will regardless... to overwinter in Africa and return next April to these same nests in kent, England. Amazing calls of nature. Amazaing how FAST the adults fly in to feed their young, aiming at those yellow throats in the semi-darkness! (These scenes replicate my swallow-training series in June, with a first brood in Herefordshire). They apparently fly, on migration, about 300kms per day, taking about 5 weeks for the journey. Though occasionally spotted in Britain as late as early December and as early as February, those I've witnessed in Kent arrive almost routinely around 15 April and leave in early October.
6 of 7 shots in this series, selected from many more.....(but minus the squeaking, excited sound-effects!)

The tiny breeding population in Britain, a minute fraction of the estimated 1 million pairs in Europe, is found principally in central and eastern England. Garganeys breed in shallow waters with extensive emergent vegetation, their ideal sites being in open marshland dissected by a network of lushly vegetated ditches and open freshwater pools. They nest in dense patches of aquatic plants such as reed mace Typha or common reed Phragmites australis, and occasionally in damp areas up to 50 m away from the water. Their main food during the breeding season is animal matter: snails, chironomid and other insect larvae, worms, leeches, crustaceans, frog spawn and tadpoles.

The garganey is a small dabbling duck. It breeds in much of Europe and western Asia, but is strictly migratory, with the entire population moving to southern Africa, India, and Australasia in winter, where large flocks can occur. (Wikipedia)

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Corniglia is a frazione ("fraction") of the comune of Vernazza in the province of La Spezia, Liguria, northern Italy with a population of about 150 (in 2016). Unlike the other localities of the Cinque Terre, Corniglia is not directly adjacent to the sea. Instead, it is on the top of a promontory about 100 metres high, surrounded on three sides by vineyards and terraces, the fourth side descends steeply to the sea. To reach Corniglia, it is necessary to climb the Lardarina, a long brick flight of steps composed of 33 flights with 382 steps or, otherwise follow a vehicular road that, from the station, leads to the village. Sometimes a small bus runs.
The village stretches along the main road, Fieschi Road, and the houses have one side facing this road and the other facing the sea. Corniglia is characterised by narrow roads and a terrace in the rock from which all other four Cinque Terre's villages, two on one side and two on the other, can be seen. The town planning structure presents original characteristics compared to those of the other villages: the houses are lower set, and only more recently higher, similar to those of the villages of the hinterland.
I walked this town for three rolls worth of film. It was an hour or so spent walking. The rain almost fell, the skies never parted, and regardless there were shadows.

Space appears calm, but it’s not always so.
Sometimes mighty magnetic explosions, just a fraction of a second long, can fling millions of electrons at supersonic speeds. NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale mission has been watching these explosions, called magnetic reconnection, around Earth, and it recently saw such an event behind Earth, away from the Sun.
There, magnetic reconnection was found to fling particles symmetrically, unlike how it does on the dayside. Learning about reconnection around Earth also helps us understand reconnection in faraway places across the universe where it’s impossible to measure directly.

A fraction of a second before I got soaked by a wave at Fort Point. There was some awesome surf after the storm last week!
Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 24-70L, f/10 @ 1/3s, ISO 50. Tiffen circular polarizer.
Thanks everyone for the concern about my gear. "Soaked" is probably an exaggeration and the camera was fine :) My car, which was parked just out of the frame to the left, DID get soaked and needed a rinse to get rid of the salt water!
When you take a photo, you capture a fraction of a second. That is what makes photography so magical. You capture something that is only a fraction of a second; almost invisible to the eye. But sometimes you want to show a longer period of time in a photo, for example to suggest motion or other dynamics, with a slow shutter speed. However, circumstances do not always lend themselves for this. During the day the lighting condition are often too bright for plain long exposures.
ND-filters help you to expand your horizon. This is my first attempt at hyper longer exposure photography. Since a while now I’m flowing Yoshihiko Wada here at Flickr. He is, amongst other arts, a black-and-white fine art photographer. Making wonderful and eye-rich photos of cityscapes, buildings, bridges and traffic junctions. His ability to fixate 30 to 60 minutes of time into one photo is even more magical than capturing a fraction of a second.
So, I studied his workflow. He has a really nice web site, explaining all the details. From taking the photos or panorama, to stitching and above all the post-production. He shows you the ground rules and basic skills. Concluding with lots of advice to emerging photographers: Don’t rush. Don’t compromise! Don’t care about “Likes”. Make your own work. Copying is not a bad thing in the beginning. You can learn a lot from others. But please put your own essence or “spice” in it. Even though it was very subtle, keeping the little differences makes your work unique in the end.
I take my hat off to Yoshihiko Wada! And this is what I created in my first attempt. I had a lot of fun creating this, and so did Lightroom, as I pushed the boundaries…
Please feel free to comment and give your constructive opinion on this attempt. It’s a learning curve for me and I’m eager to go forward with this… to such an extent that Esther and I already made a list of buildings and locations we want to (re)visit for hyper long exposure photography.
Technical stuff
This a single shot, tripod based, photo. Taken at 160ISO, f8.0, 151seconds of exposure time, at 16 mils and using a 16 2/3 stop ND-filter. The timing was done by hand using a remote shutter and BULB-mode.
With regard to post-production… I produced this shot in LR. Just to experience the techniques behind is. And coming to the conclusion that PS is far better suited for these heavy duty productions. Furthermore, please visit the web site of Yoshihiko Wada at [yoshihikowada.com]. He does a far better job of explaining the principals and techniques, then I can right now…but my time will come ;-)
Finally, I added some copyright signs (in PS). The latter is, alas, there to stay due to the fact that my photos were frequently copied. So, don't bother commenting on that.
