More from the Toronto Zoo-normally we never get to see the Red Pandas do anything more than sleep but because of the Christmas Treats walk this fellow was still enjoying his fresh fruit-and was quite amiable
The other one was nowhere to be seen though
Those cuddly looking look so inviting and almost beg you to take a free hug. The closest I came in contact was with one which clung thankfully only to my boot and was knocked off by Talor Stone with my tripod. I saw how the spines got into the boot of the tripod now. If they can get into hard rubber and refuse to come out, imagine what they do with your flesh.
This is the one downside to shooting in Arizona. One has to keep an eye out for unwanted attention from the Cholla cactus. They are best enjoyed from a distance. On this occasion, I was on my own split up from the rest of the group. The sky was meh and I gave up after trying to find decent compositions involving desert vegetation. More than anything else, I wanted to go back to the car before it got too dark and bump into or step on one of those that is always ready to hitch a ride.
On my way back, I turned and turned back to look for Wayne Suggs who had ventured further out than I did. While I did not see him, I saw these things and I took a shot from a safe distance as the cacti seemingly glowed in the fading light.
When I got back to the car, Talor told me all three in her group were not spared and some blood had to be spilled. We waited for some more time and Wayne finally showed up. He had the same experience. Wayne went on to remove the cholla spines from his shin and it sure did not look like he was enjoying it. I was glad I was unscathed on my last shoot there.
Do you guys have any tricks to avoiding being poked by the cholla and if you do end up getting attacked by one, what do you do? Carrying Needle Nose Pliers is one thing most folks seem to agree upon. What else?

Who says you can't shoot the Milky Way in the winter?
I've been interested in panoramas for the past four years or so, mostly because of my night shooting. It's really, really difficult to convey the "bigness" of the night sky with a single photo--even one taken with an ultra-wide lens like a 14mm.
There were a lot of things happening in this photo that I wanted to capture, and so this full-circle approach seemed appropriate. In the upper right you can see the remnants of some really strong zodiacal light (this photo was taken over TWO HOURS after sunset) that was still glowing in the western skies and nearly reaching out to the Pleaides. The Milky Way is arching from (approximately) west-northwest to east. But what I really like is the different (and clearly stratified) airglow visible in this photo, with the greens being lower on the horizon than the reds. Cool stuff.
On the ground, this was taken at Hug Point, Oregon, and you can see the waterfall right on the beach.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Yuri Beletsky's circular full-sky panoramas inspired me to give this a try. This style is a little more documentary than my normal approach to fine-art night-sky photography, but I thought this situation warranted this particular treatment.
Also, if you're interested in learning more about taking and processing night-sky photos, I'm doing a couple of workshops this summer at Crater Lake National Park. Check out my website for more details and shoot me a message if you have any questions.
Thanks for checking out the photo!

a beautiful festival hug

When I did see the Marco new mesh head from Genesis I was into a series with Liu so it was too hard resist to mix them both was open a large range of emotion between them... I did explore similitude and contrast... that time.

My last day in Thailand.
You have been a wonderful guest, your weather, people, food, landscape and culture are just so beautiful. If you are looking for a holiday with a difference come and visit the other parts of Thailand that the majority of tourists don't see, come and live amongst the locals, share their traditions with them, walk on the beach at sunrise with the Bhuddist monks, have a swim in the clear tropical water.
I will miss you #HugThailand
