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)
Go See Sea Of Green Glow As Sago Palms Grow And Be Inspired To Be You - IMRAN™
There is such an infinite range of beautiful moments, even in the life of an ordinary man like me going about his life quietly, even merely walking past a sago palm, there is no way any one man can even notice, capture, much less share even a fraction of all that.
Imagine that multiplied by the billions of people on this planet alone. Then imagine the billions upon billions of galaxies around us, each with billions and billions of stars with who know how many even more magical moments occurring this very instant.
The sharp but gentle edges of even one "insignificant" plant can teach us a lesson. I see this and it reminds me that even in this vastness of infinite universal variations and a plethora of seemingly identical existences teeming next to each other, each and every one of us can stand apart in our own way.
Every one of us can make it a point to live, ideally as green as we can, an evergreen life, wherever we go, taking every moment to learn and grow, and to shine and glow as examples of our standing apart even among a sea of equals, as this moment in the space-time continuum depicts.
Think about it. What makes you who you are? How do you stand apart from the rest? What are you going to do with the gift of being You?

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.

Agustin Roca
es una localidad del noroeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires situada en el partido de Junín, Argentina. Agustín Roca es el nombre de la estación ferroviaria, mientras que el pueblo se llama oficialmente Coronel Marcos Paz, no obstante, este último nombre prácticamente no se utiliza. Es la tercera localidad más poblada del partido. Cuenta con 331 habitantes (INDEC, 2010), lo que representa un marcado descenso del 65% frente a los 955 habitantes (INDEC, 2001) del censo anterior. En 1879 se adquieren tierras al Estado provincial en medio del camino entre las ciudades de Rojas y Junín.
En 1884 se cede al Estado provincial una franja de terreno con destino al Ferrocarril Al Pacífico, que incluía una fracción de terreno para la construcción de la futura estación que se llamaría Roca.
En 1890 esta línea ferroviaria fue vendida al Ferrocarril Central Argentino de capitales ingleses.
El 22 de noviembre de 1887 se sancionó la Ley de Centros Agrícolas para favorecer la creación de centros poblados para el aumento de la productividad agrícola.
El 7 de julio de 1888, queda habilitada, la venta de lotes. Esta fecha fue considerada como fundación de la localidad.

Agustin Roca
is a locality of the northwest of the province of Buenos Aires located in the party of Junín, Argentina. Agustín Roca is the name of the railway station, while the town is officially called Coronel Marcos Paz, however, this last name is practically unused. It is the third most populated town in the party. It has 331 inhabitants (INDEC, 2010), which represents a marked decrease of 65% compared to 955 inhabitants (INDEC, 2001) of the previous census. In 1879 land is acquired from the provincial state in the middle of the road between the cities of Rojas and Junín.
In 1884 a strip of land was given to the provincial government for the Al Pacífico Railroad, which included a fraction of land for the construction of the future station that would be called Roca.
In 1890 this railway line was sold to the Central Argentine Railway of English capitals.
On November 22, 1887 the Law of Agricultural Centers was approved to favor the creation of population centers for the increase of agricultural productivity.
On July 7, 1888, the sale of lots is enabled. This date was considered as the foundation of the locality.
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!
I wrote a few days ago: Every wave is different and so is every photo at the beach. 😍

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.
Steel processing here is a fraction of what bit once was. The largest blast furnace in the UK was at Redcar a mile or so away, which turned out around 10,000 tons a day when production started in 1979. Before that, there were around 90 smaller units on the banks of the River Tees.
Semi finished steel products are presently delivered to the sheds at Lackenby from Scunthorpe, on trains such as this the 6N31 07.46 steel slabs.

I think this is very pretty. I love shooting dynamic things using high speed shutter. There's something magical about capturing a moment that can escape within our grasp of time.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There is always a story ... in a way silly: I was home-schooling my daughter (10) and realised I had never myself added a sequence of more than two fractions in the one operation. The solution is pretty, in the mathematical sense. The sum a/x+b/y+c/z = (ayz+bxz+cxy)/xyz. Given that: any number of fractions can be added in two lines. As the say: QED.
Une fraction de seconde avant l'impact. (prise de vue fortuite).
Normalement, les abeilles ne sont pas agressives. Néanmoins, celle-ci va attaquer délibérément et violemment cette petite sauterelle pour l’expulser d'une fleur.
It seems like a good time to finally post another picture of the Shepherd here as we start 2014.
A little over three years ago I started building this mech. Back when I started it I had just discovered Steel Battalion and artists like Ukitakumuki and I was full of ideas for how I would go about building my own vertical tank. I was also just starting to get to know the guys in this community who are now some of my best friends. Since then those friendships have taken me all over the country and the Shepherd has always been along for the ride. Its been to multiple conventions and its been shattered into hundreds of pieces and rebuilt more times then I can count and probably most importantly, this Vertical Tank is in a way the sum total of the time I've spent in the community, and because of that it means a lot to me.
I posted it back in the spring of 2011 where it was well received, and I'm sure some of you will remember this, or have seen it at a convention no doubt looking different every time.
So is it done yet? I'd like to think so, but if the last three years are any indicator then saying yes definitely would probably be untrue.
I hope you guys can experience at least a fraction of what this build is too me.

EVERYANIMAL
By the ditch’s side I am sprouting udders,
in the air feathers stick into my skin.
In the mud behind some farms
a rooting disc is growing on my snout.
Over the dung heap or below the duckweed:
if need be I’ll shift in swarms or schools.
Cloaked in the grey-brown fly-skin
stretched between my limbs
I hang in barns or desolated quarries
upside down in dormant state.
As a herd I wrap my hands and feet
with horn and effortlessly switch
between a gait on palm, or toe, or hoof.
I stretch out cautious lips on the savannah
for leaves high up between the thorns. And
there blood also runs across my stripes
or I yawn listlessly from eternal lionicity.
Legs and hide I often leave behind
in sea, or swamp or desert sands. There I must be
either soft bodied, gaudy or poisonous.
And then there are the countless possibilities
that I no longer get to show:
spike on the forehead, scorching breath,
a horse’s body with human breast.
This has always bothered me: each animal
one sees is but a fraction of myself.
Look: in this primeval forest I burl and rub
across a trunk with shovel antlers
while my proboscis, dorsal fin, my spines
remain invisible in this biotope.
For once, I wish I could appear in fullest
glory, although surroundings never fit.

Thank you, guys!
Over 1200 lightning strikes reported from Seattle north last night. In this time exposure, all light, apart from the houselights opposite, is provided by the lightning bolts. In fact, these bolts all occurred within a fraction of a second; I stopped the time exposure as soon as they happened. The Olympus EM-1 Mark II has a live bulb feature that allows you to see the build-up of a time exposure. The camera indicated nothing but blackness until these bolts happened.
You must burn. Burn higher.
Burn for everything you have ever wanted. For everything you have ever lost, for every crack in your heart and every fraction of every irreplaceable moment.
Burn high for love.
For fear. For life.
Burn as fast and as long as you can.
You must burn, burn higher.
Because nothing in this world will kill you faster than a dying fire.
