"Getting up close to a particular shadow element is every bit as important as witnessing it and relating to it. This is often quite an emotionally rocky ride, especially given that we may find ourselves without our usual adult skills, at least for a time, because the wounded child in us has surfaced to such a degree that we are looking through those eyes and feeling those feelings. The key is to get as close as possible to that part of ourselves without getting lost in that old worldview, staying emotionally raw even as we name and illuminate what is occuring." -Robert Masters

 

The ocean moves in to cover what it left empty hours ago as a storm makes its final stand. A lone cloud hovers above the ocean poised and balanced for what will next arise.

I love this place. I hate that it gets dark before 5pm

 

I came here--again--late on Sunday to get some different angles and a closer shot of the right side of the falls. I always park within view of the dog and often glance up to see if he's looking for me. On this occasion, I saw a police officer had pulled up when i turned to look up at Scotch. i ran up the embankment and I told him I was just taking some pictures. He says it was fine and just wanted to make sure I wasn't swimming. I said "you know it's 38 degrees out, right?"

Am Basteir Summit 934m

 

Am Basteir is a vertically-sided blade of rock whose ascent is only possible for keen scramblers from Bealach a Basteir. Below the summit of the mountain is the remarkable lesser peak of the Basteir Tooth - an imposing fang of rock that can only be reached by rock-climbers.

 

The Black Cuillin are the most spectacular and challenging mountains in Britain. These are peaks of which dreams are made - and nightmares! Many of their summits require scrambling or even rock-climbing to reach.

I liked the way this tree appears to be pushing its way ahead of the pack in a show-off kind of way. Taken in Hillock Woods, Prices Risborough

So I took this one in December last year but its taken me ages to get around to getting it edited and finally uploaded. I've still got thousands of photos from the last few years to go through and hopefully I'll start to make a dent on them before long, but am sure I've thought that a few times before and I've still got a massive backlog ;)

Prickly pear cactus are hard to identify even while blooming, but I have taken pictures of this plant while blooming. My best guess is Texas prickly pear (Opuntia engelmannii var. lindheimeri).

My objective here was to get the points in tack sharp focus and have enough depth of field have the glochidia sharp with the texture of the pad.

Getting more difficult to find shots around here.

 

70645T

...Literally!

 

This is a shot I captured of an Orchard Orbweaver (Leucauge venusta) at somewhere in between 1.5:1 and 1:1. Working distance with this lens at this magnification is in the area of 3 inches (~7.5cm), which is not ideal when photographing spiders!

 

In this shot, even with my failure to find focus, you can see some details that have been missing from my 1:1 shots! Her spinneret is right on the edge of focus, and you can start to see the interesting structure of it.

 

This shot also displays her specialized setae ("hairs") on her back legs! They are located closer to the body and are noticeably "softer" than the other setae. She uses these specialized sensory setae to sense vibrations and movement as she hangs upside down in her horizontal web.

 

Once I get the working distance committed to muscle memory, I'll get some better shots.

 

This photo was captured at around 1.25:1 or so using my new (to me) Venus Laowa 60mm f2.8 Macro. This photo is uncropped. This outstanding orbweaver is around 5-6mm long, not counting her ludicrous legspan!

Sometimes, all that is needed to be noticed, is to reach a little higher, be a little hungrier, work a little harder than the crowd.

"Get Down on It" Week Continues! A 7-day celebration of looking down our noses at our subjects, much like King Henry VIII did.

 

Painting: Chicago was thunderstorming all day yesterday, so I spent the morning in the corner of my studio where I go to paint, but mostly I watched the rain pelt the windows. Ahhhhhhh. Well, you know what happened next: a click of the shutter...then a nap. :)

 

My talented friend Kim also shot paint brushes yesterday, because great creative minds think alike. :)

 

Rain down on me

My buddy Jim Salge and I hiked to Victor Head to shoot the foliage. Unfortunately there is a tree right in the middle of the rock outcropping making it difficult to get a clean pano. So to get this shot: flic.kr/p/zyesAu we used our tripod as a camera boom. This is him getting his version of the shot.

I managed to get out today as the sun finally decided to shine.

I decided to do a 'stuck in the mud' exercise where I just stand in one spot for about 10 minutes to take the time to really look at what's there. This ivy winding its way up and around old fencing really caught my eye.

 

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

Fuji X-E3 plus Samyang tele lens (fixed at F6.3). This mirror reflex lens has something in common with the Hubble and the James-Webb Space Telescopes, at least the basic mirror technology. Whereas these space telescopes have a fabulous resolution, the same can not be said of this lens. Still, the images produced with this lens can be satisfying (as long as magnification is not expected).

This was shot April 14, 1980 on a dreary Upper Peninsula day. The 4407 and 720 had struggled up the grade from Marquette with 15 cars on the wet rail and had been held at this signal for an eastbound CNW ore load out of Euclid Yard. Once the CNW cleared the Soo got the light and is starting west again. A rescan.

Sometimes the conditions we deal with no matter how tough or easy doesn't matter much in the end. What really matters it seems is "Did You Get" what you wanted or did you get what you needed.

Maybe not the most clever title, but that's what was happening. You see, it was raining, and the buffalo had no umbrellas or raincoats.
