Single in September 12 2013 with the Tamron 70-200/2.8
A 1/48 scale model of an Albatros D.III. I had this idea for a front lit airplane, completely in shadow, and this is what I did. It didn't end up as cool looking as in my minds eye, but I had trouble getting the light to come up from underneath as well as behind.
I liked this angle because in shadow like this, you can't 100% tell if the aircraft is pointing toward you or away.
For those keeping score, I got my flash to work again. It's hanging on by a thread, but I got a couple of shots out.

Dieppe-based Alpine, once an independent company specialising in faster Renaults, later a Renault subsidiary, established a fine competition history with the Alpine A110 winning the 1973 Monte Carlo Rally and World Rally Championship. The successor was the Alpine A310, initially powered by tuned 17TS/Gordini four-cylinder engine, still rear-mounted. The maximum power reaching 127 PS (93 kW; 125 hp), thanks to the use of 2 twin-barrel 45 DCOE Weber carburetors.
The first model of the A310, built 1971-1976, was a car with a four-cylinder engine and six frontlights. In 1976 the A310 was restyled by Robert Opron and fitted with the more powerful and newly developed 90-degree 2,664 cc V6 PRV engine, as used in some Renaults, Volvos and Peugeots.

Fast sieht es ja so aus, als ob das Paar die höchste Stufe der Zweisamkeit erreicht hätte... aber die Leiter liegt da, um im Eis eingebrochene Personen zu retten. Natürlich ist der Kirchsee nicht begehbar und wird es in diesem Winter auch nicht mehr werden.
In this photo you can see the puddle from the previous photo. It's the larger one on the left. This is also what I was after that morning. I wanted a large stitched panorama including not only the beautiful Buffalo City Hall but also more to the left and right around the McKinley Monument in the middle of the Niagara Square (can a square be round?).

I also wanted to minimize the shadows on the building, and not to blow out the sky. Thus, I was there rather early before sunrise. This is the first panorama from the morning that ended up at around 89 megapixels in full size (built from 27 files). The foreground flowers had to be pulled out of dark shadows but it was not too bad and not a problem with the RAW files.
The low levels of light combined with stopped down aperture are apparent in the foliage motion blur. Not sure why the EXIF is showing 13 mm for my focal length, I remember setting my lens at 35 mm to provide for less distortion allowing for easier stitching.
My intent was to use sunlight to frontlight the orchid. Duchemin mentions that natural light creates many different interesting lighting scenarios, so I wanted to use sunlight instead of an indoor light for this photo. This image met my goal, and the sunlight helps bring out the details of the orchid’s petals. The exposure, contrast, and clarity were increased while the highlights, whites, haze, and noise were reduced. There is some post-crop vignetting, and the image was sharpened.
Fountain in backlight at the feet of the Maximilianeum in Munich, Bavaria.
The Maximilianeum, a palatial building in Munich, was built as the home of a gifted students' foundation and has also housed the Bavarian Landtag (state parliament) since 1949. The principal was King Maximilian II of Bavaria, who started the project in 1857. The leading architect was Friedrich Bürklein. The building is situated on the bank of river Isar before the Maximilian Bridge and marks the eastern end of the Maximilianstrasse, one of Munich's royal avenues. In the background you can see the Max Monument.
Das Maximilianeum im Münchner Stadtteil Haidhausen beherbergt seit 1876 die Stiftung Maximilianeum für begabte Studenten aus der Pfalz und Bayern. Außerdem ist es seit 1949 Sitz des Bayerischen Landtags. Der Bau liegt als pathetische Kulissenarchitektur mit großartiger Fernwirkung auf dem östlichen Isar-Hochufer in Sichtachse der Maximilianstraße über die Maximiliansbrücke. Im Hintergrund kann man noch das Maxmonument (Max-II-Denkmal) erkennen.
Am 5. Oktober 1857 ließ König Max II. den Grundstein für den Bau des Architekten Friedrich Bürklein legen. 1874 war der Bau nach mehrmaligen Nachbesserungen dann endgültig fertiggestellt.
Corona around the sun behind the summit cross of the Alpspitze in the Wetterstein Range in Bavaria.
In meteorology, a corona is produced by the diffraction of light from either the Sun or the Moon by individual small water droplets (and sometimes tiny ice crystals) of a cloud.
The corona consists of small number of concentric colored rings around the celestial object and a central bright aureole. The angular size of the corona depends on the diameters of the cloud droplets - small droplets produce bright coronae.

Aufnahme von der Sonnenterasse der Bergstation Osterfelderkopf (2030m) aus.
Die Alpspitze ist ein 2.628 m hoher Berg im Wettersteingebirge. Als Wahrzeichen von Garmisch-Partenkirchen gilt der pyramidenförmige Gipfel als eine der bekanntesten und schönsten Berggestalten der Nördlichen Kalkalpen.
Am 4. Juli 2010 wurde die Aussichtsplattform AlpspiX eröffnet. Rund 50 Meter über der Bergstation der Alpspitzbahn ragen zwei Stahlarme schwebend über dem 1000 Meter tiefen Abgrund. Nur von dort aus kann man in der Nähe der Bergstation die Zugspitze sehen... Fotos davon kommen demnächst.
Rund um die Sonnenstrahlung ist ein schwacher "Regenbogen" sichtbar. Dabei handelt es sich um eine Korona. Korona oder Hof bezeichnet man eine Leuchterscheinung um Mond oder Sonne, die durch Beugung des Lichts an den Wassertröpfchen von Wolken verursacht wird – im Gegensatz zum Regenbogen oder zu Haloeffekten, die beide durch Brechung entstehen. Bei einer Korona ist oft nur eine weiße Scheibe mit rötlichem Rand zu sehen, die Aureole genannt wird. Unter günstigen Bedingungen ist die Aureole von mehreren farbigen Ringen umgeben.
Washburn Trail, Joseph D. Grant County Park, Santa Clara County, CA, 3/22/2016 - 3/23/2016
SONY Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 camera, F1.8 Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens, 54 exposures, 195 megapixels
After returning home from a long wildflower photography road trip to Death Valley, I visited a favorite place much closer to home: Joseph D. Grant County Park, by San Jose, California. I planned to photograph a small waterfall. On my drive into the park, I did a double take at the Washburn Trail trailhead; I caught a glimpse of thousands of brilliant California poppies growing in a grassy meadow. I had visited this park for years but never before encountered a wildflower display anywhere near as bold and beautiful as this: a bloom of poppies so near to my home, and every bit as lovely as anything I had found in Death Valley! In 1903 the California poppy became the state flower of California.

Classic Nikon Porn. Perhaps the title would be more appropriate if it were mounted with the 105mm. I learned so much with this camera, back in the day where mistakes cost you film and money. My dad still has three lenses ( now considered slow glass ), but still able to produce some great shots. At the time my Uncle brought back three camera bodies and identical lenses, after a Tour of Duty in Nam. Both of my Uncles lenses have been ravaged by fungus ( they are in Humid areas as opposed to the semi-arid SoCal).

Crystal Castles playing at Babel Malmö 20/11.
The intense toronto-duo Crystal Castles put on a completly mad show! I am not so happy with the images produced but I am glad that i went to the show cause it was one of the better in a while. There was a photopit, but strangely photographers weren't allowed into it. SUXXS since now i was squeezed in (again) by the corner.
Babel is a pretty small venue with a shitty lightrig but CC had some of their own mad lights blinking like hell. No frontlighting at all.
Alica Glass is moving and shaking around pretty good even though she had a broken foot. The crowd was totally loving the show and my ribs have bruises from all the squeezing. I even think my cellphone got popped between my ribs and the fence.
Good show, bad images. Thanks.
The Padrão dos Descobrimentos (in English: "Monument of the Discoveries") on the northern bank of the Tejo river (in English: "Tagus river") in the quarter of Belém, with the 25 de Abril Bridge and the Sanctuary of Christ the King monument to the right of it in the distance, Lisbon, Portugal
Some background information:
The Padrão dos Descobrimentos is a monument on the northern bank of the Tejo river estuary, in the civil parish of Santa Maria de Belém, Lisbon. Located along the river where ships departed to explore and trade with India and the Orient, the monument celebrates the Portuguese Age of Discovery (or "Age of Exploration") during the 15th and 16th centuries.
The monument was conceived in 1939 by Portuguese architect José Ângelo Cottinelli Telmo and sculptor Leopoldo de Almeida, as a temporary beacon during the Portuguese World Exhibition opening in 1940. The Monument to the Discoveries represented a romanticized idealization of the Portuguese exploration that was typical of the Estado Novo regime of António de Oliveira Salazar. It was originally constructed as a temporary construction and its original structure was demolished after the exposition in 1943.
But in 1958, the government promoted the intent to build a permanent Monument of the Discoveries. The new monument was inaugurated in 1960. It was constructed in cement and rose-tinted stone, with 33 statues sculpted from limestone excavated from the region of Sintra. On either side of the slab are ramps with 16 figures that join at the river's edge, with the figure of Henry the Navigator on its edge. The figures represent great people from the Portuguese Age of Discovery, including monarchs, explorers, cartographers, artists, scientists and missionaries. Among them are Vasco da Gama, Ferdinand Magellan, Pedro Álvares Cabral, Bartolomeu Dias, Pedro Nunes and King Afonso V of Portugal.
Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world and the second-oldest European capital city (after Athens). Although the first fortifications on Lisbon's castle hill are known to be no older than the 2nd century BC, recent archaeological finds have shown that Iron Age people already occupied the site from the 8th to 6th centuries BC. The Phoenicians and later the Carthaginians, are said to have called the place Alis Ubbo and used it as the only major natural harbor on the Iberian Atlantic coast. There are also evidences that Lisbon once was a Greek city, but its Greek name is unknown.
Under Roman rule, starting around 205 BC, the city was initially called Olisipo. In 48 BC, the town was granted Roman municipal rights and subsequently became known as Colonia Felicitas Iulia, growing into a larger town in the province of Lusitania. From 409 AD, barbarian tribes advanced onto the Iberian Peninsula from Gaul. During the late antique migration period, Alans, Suebi, Vandals, and Visigoths tried to occupy Lisbon.
In 719, Lisbon was conquered by Muslim Moors and later became part of the Emirate of Córdoba. The city, now known as al-Ushbuna, experienced its first major boom. During the Caliphate of Córdoba, the city was one of the most important ports, while Christian Galicians and Leonese repeatedly attempted to seize it. In 844, Vikings ravaged Lisbon and its surroundings.
In the 11th century, Lisbon was part of the Moorish Emirate of the Aftasids from Badajoz. Starting in 1093, Count Raymond of Armous, a younger son of Duke William I of Burgundy, was given rule over Galicia by King Alfonso VI of León. From there, he launched campaigns against the Moors in the south, temporarily managing to occupy Lisbon.
At the beginning of the 11th century, the south of the Iberian Peninsula was still under Moorish control. But in 1147, in the course of the so-called Reconquista, the Siege of Lisbon led to the city's final capture by the Portuguese under Alfonso I. In 1255, Lisbon became the capital city of the new Portuguese territory and in 1290, the first Portuguese university was founded in the town. During the last centuries of the Middle Ages, Lisbon expanded substantially and became an important trading post with both Northern European and Mediterranean cities.
When the Spaniards had expelled the Jews from Spanish territory, many of them fled to Lisbon. But even in Portugal they either had to convert to Christianity or leave. In 1506, an anti-semitic movement among the Old Christians of Lisbon culminated in a massacre lasting four days in which some 1,000 to 4,000 New Christian residents, converted descendants of Sephardic Jews, are estimated to have been killed.
Most of the Portuguese expeditions of the Age of Discovery set out from Lisbon during the period from the end of the 15th century to the beginning of the 17th century, including Vasco da Gama's expedition to India in 1498. In the 16th century, Lisbon’s golden era began: The city was the European hub of commerce between Africa, India, the Far East and later, Brazil, and acquired great riches by exploiting the trade of spices, slaves, sugar, textiles and other goods. This period also saw the rise of the exuberant Manueline style in architecture, which left its mark in many 16th-century monuments, including the Belém Tower and the Jerónimos Monastery.
The succession crisis of 1580 initiated a sixty-year period of dual monarchy in Portugal and Spain under the Spanish Habsburgs. In 1589, Lisbon was the target of an incursion by the English Armada led by Francis Drake. The Portuguese Restoration War, which began with a coup d'état organised by the nobility and bourgeoisie in Lisbon in 1640 amd ended with the Treaty of Lisbon in 1668, restored Portuguese independence.
In the early 18th century, gold from Brazil allowed King John V to sponsor the building of several Baroque churches and theatres in the city. Prior to the 18th century, Lisbon had experienced several significant earthquakes: eight in the 14th century, five in the 16th century, and three in the 17th century. But the earthquake of 1755 was the most davastating one. It destroyed 85 percent of the city's structures, including the Ribeira Palace and the hospital Real de Todos os Santos. An an estimated 30,000 to 40,000 Lisbon residents of a total population estimated of 200,000 to 275,000 wer killed. And in the coastal areas north of Lisbon even more people were killed by the following tsunami.
This catastrophic event shocked the whole of Europe and left a deep impression on its collective psyche. However, the city was rebuilt quickly and largely according to the plans of prime minister Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, the 1st Marquis of Pombal. He decided to demolish what remained after the earthquake and rebuild the city centre in accordance with principles of modern urban design. It was reconstructed in an open rectangular plan with two great squares: the Praça do Rossio and the Praça do Comércio.
In the first years of the 19th century, Portugal was invaded by the troops of Napoléon Bonaparte, forcing Queen Maria I and Prince-Regent John to flee temporarily to Brazil. By the time the new King John VI returned to Lisbon, many of the buildings and properties were pillaged, sacked or destroyed by the invaders. The development of industry and commerce determined the growth of the city and Lisbon grew farther from the Tejo river.
In 1911, Lisbon refounded its university after centuries of inactivity. In the 20th century, the city was also the site of three revolutions. The first ond of 1910 brought an end to the Portuguese monarchy and established the highly unstable and corrupt Portuguese First Republic. The second one of 1926 ended the first republic and firmly established the Portuguese Second Republic. And the third revolution of 1974, the so-called Carnation Revolution, put an end to the right-wing regime and reformed the country to what it is still today, the Portuguese Third Republic.
Modern Lisbon is the political centre of the country and hosts the government, the National Assembly, the Supreme Court of Justice and the Armed Forces. It is also the residence of the head of state and the centre of Portuguese diplomacy, with ambassadors from 86 countries residing in the city, as well as representations from Taiwan and Palestine. About 2.96 million people, who live in the Lisbon metropolitan area (representing almost 28 % of the Portugal's population), make Lisbon the third largest metropolitan area in the Iberian Peninsula after Madrid and Barcelona.
