I usually go out to take photographs from early morning to late afternoon. This photo was taken around 10 am on a hot day. I saw this weak ant and decided to "shoot' her. I was looking at her wondering how tiny and weak she was, running in the hot weather on hot stones and ground, with no clothes to protct her against the weather.
After a while, the ant found the small pieces of bread I usually throw for ants. She took a big piece and began walking back to her "house". It was not very far, however, for a tiny creature carrying a big piece of bread in this hot weather, it was, and is, tiresome. I was wondering how weak this tiny ceature is.
Then another idea hit me. Now I was comfortably sitting under my umbrella, with a snack beside me and some cold water. How would I feel if I had to take off my clothes (excuse me) in this hot weather, walk or run bare footed on hot stones and ground, carrying some heavy load!
I then discovered who the weak creature really was (and is).

It's really hard for me to try to explain how hard it is to motivate myself to do any photography these days whilst I continue to recover from my knee injury. Recovery has been seriously interrupted by lockdowns and closures of gyms...indeed, I've not even been able to see a physio for over 6 months. With all of that my fitness has suffered considerably and so even short excursions can sometimes feel like I'm hitting the wall at mile 22 of a marathon. Therefore, the thought of making the effort to climb a hill for photography when the conditions are less than ideal...well, it doesn't appeal.
When on the hill, a different fear now presents itself. Fear of another injury. I used to head out without a care in the world really. Sure, I might slip and fall, but I always felt that I was the master of my own destiny, even in those circumstances...but now it is different. My body just failed when I injured my knee, with very little in the way of warning, just a little knee pain like I've had for years anyway. The actual step I took when my tendon snapped was so incredibly innocuous, it's the type of step I've taken thousands, if not millions, of times before...it was just like going down the stairs at home...but in that moment, my tendon chose when I was alone, on a hill, in inclement weather and without a mobile signal, to snap...not at home, going down the stairs. And now, although the injured knee presents no pain, my other one does, so the fear is that that will someday go too, as so often seems to happen with people who rupture one tendon, eventually the other one ruptures too. Add to that a lack of strength in the injured knee, some balancing issues and a tendency to give way without warning...that all adds up to a heck of a lot of nervousness when going off the beaten track.
The day I took this photo was no different in many ways. I was solo. The weather was inclement. There was no-one really around. I did have some extra protection in the form of a satellite transceiver that enables me to send an SOS and I did tell my wife where I was this time. But with boggy conditions underfoot, it still meant my mind wasn't wholly invested in photography until I'd set up my tripod and decided to wait, in the cloud and drizzle, for things to happen. And so I waited...and waited...and waited. About 2 hours later I felt the subtle change in temperature on my neck as the sun tried to break through the misty conditions. Poised with my finger on the shutter just hoping for the mistiness to clear a little to reveal the landscape, the conditions brightened to the left of the scene you see here until not only were the two tress visible, but also the landscape beyond...and low and behold, a rainbow. What resulted was a stitch pano consisting of 7 vertical frames and 160 megapixels of Lake District loveliness. This scene lasted for all of 30 seconds...and then it was gone.
I don't tend to big-up my photography, especially these days. I tend to work behind the scenes, especially for anything from Snowdonia, where I spend most of my time, refining my project and building, what I hope will be, a quality book. However, when I go elsewhere, it is sometimes nice to share what I captured, and I think even I like this one enough to shout about it.

I corrected tilt as I agree with its being a distracting element in this shot.

Zaterdagavond na enige klauterwerk onder aan de Waal dit perspectief gevonden om de drie Waalbruggen in 1 opname te vangen. 12 mm. was krap aan zoals jullie zien. Tevens een ultieme test voor me met de Sony A7III die ik in bruikleen had van CameraNU.nl. Hier de combinatie Sony body met Sigma converter MC-11 en lens Sigma Art 12-24 mm. f/4 goed kunnen ervaren.Ondanks f/8 zijn de details wat mij betreft subliem. En hoe heerlijk is het om een 1 uur aan het water door te brengen met een van je fotobuddies die koek en sopie bij zich had!!!

The middle of the day is not the best time to take a photo of Manly Beacon, but if that's when you are there, that's when you take the photo!
Manly Beacon was named in honor of William L. Manly who, along with John Rogers, guided members of the ill-fated Forty-niners out of Death Valley during the gold rush of 1849.
That's Blackwater Wash (L) and Tucki Wash (R) way off in the background running up into the Panamint Mountains.

Look around today as you get around.. The thing is to slow your world down to a point where you stop missing the life you look past while you drive faster everyday. “How Simple” is the beauty of a Rose. The Rose opens its pedals to show you what you’re missing. Winter passes as the Rose is dormant until warmer weather arrives to show you the beauty you pass by in your hurry to get somewhere. Leave earlier and witness the beauty that has you surrounded. Gratitude and Kindness are much the same. Enjoy them because they’re not just words. Practice them daily and improve your life’s quality. Thanks for stopping by…
Frigate Birds (Fregata) seen at Contoy Island, Mexico. The male poses & the females visit him, the way it should be done, lol
And last but not least, the seller showed me a room that is not accessible to everyone. It is the little treasure trove with all the good vinyls with which it all started ... the hour of birth of RECORDLAND:
Here you can still find old records that have not yet been sold and collectibles that not many remember ... the music is a very special ... wonderful world ... in that sense ... Rock On ... .Juli :-)
Folks i wasn't gone. But how should I put it, the weather is nice and the covid incidences are significantly low for Berlin. I'm on tour with the camera. Hey it's party time in town. We see the Warschauer Strasse S-Bahn station here. Berlin's most party-rich but also the most dangerous area. I wanted photographs from another bridge. See markings in the photo. It should be the “Modersohn Bridge”. But now I got there and was not alone. 😉 A lot of people have non-stop parties there. They dance in the sunset. Accordingly, I cannot take long exposures because the bridge vibrates and wobbles too much with these masses. That's funny because the next day at another time the people were gone. But the road traffic with too many big cars was much worse. Again no long exposures possible;)

You just have those days where you get stuck on seeing something with every frame. Today was faces. Everywhere, I saw faces. In this shot alone, I saw three. distinct faces, can you see them too?
This sweet little face… ❤️. This is something I wouldn’t normally do, and please scroll right on by if you are against this kind of thing!
Today I am going to toss a challenge out to all of you ... or let's call it an experiment... an experiment in human kindness and a measure of the power of social media to do some good. For me, it’s a “Pay it Forward” for someone that helped me on a bad day. Maybe you would like to join me in repaying a kindness that was done for you… here’s an opportunity…
Here's the background; One of my co-workers just had her beloved cat that she had for over 20 years pass away and she opened her home and heart to new kitten from a shelter, only to find out shortly afterward that the poor little thing has a heart defect that will cause it to slowly die of heart failure within 1-2 years, unless she can get it medical help which will cost $8000. That's a LOT of money for one family to come up with. BUT... WHAT IF.... there were 8000 people all helping out (you know, "It takes a village"... and all that) Then together those 8000 people would save a little cat's life and no one would really miss that $1 that they tossed in...right?
Maybe I am a dreamer, but I don't see why this won't work... and I think that this IS the way that things SHOULD work.... people helping others.... complete strangers helping those that need a little help. It doesn't take a lot of money to be a hero, you know.
So here's the challenge and it will only cost you $1 and the amount of time it takes you to read my lengthy post... and let's be serious, are you really going to miss that $1? Let's see if this experiment can work... let's see how long it takes... let's MAKE IT WORK!! Let's save a life!!!
AND HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS... 70% of the funds have already been raised... so we really only need 2500 people to toss in $1 each! Your mission, if you choose to accept it (and please DO accept it!) Is to read this post, follow the link, hit the DONATE button and donate $1 (or $5 if you are having a generous day) ... and then SHARE this post in the hopes that everyone you know will do the same. Are you with me? (of course you are!!) Let’s save a life!! READ~DONATE~SHARE! GO!!!

I see the world differently than non-photographers... this reflection in the window of an optician in Örebro made me wonder about how accurate my 'vision' actually is.

Today we went to a restaurant in Furna, a small town located in higher elevation in the Swiss Alps near Davos. I asked our waitress Gretli if she would pose for a few shots outside the restaurant. This restaurant used to be a barn, with sun burned logs on the outside, and nicely done interior inside. The restaurant is a family run business; Gretli grew up in the house next door, and helped out serving today because they had a baptism banquet for lunch. Everybody here is very friendly.
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I appreciate and welcome constructive feedback.
