An excellent location to teach my photography class a little practical shooting. A sunny afternoon with plenty of light (sometimes too much) to practice the "exposure triangle".

This is Sam showing us his Inner Hollywood. He’s very chilled. R is less chilled, because we were taking a break from packing for a trip. (We were going to be away for two days, which means we had to spend one day getting ready. Our rule is one day of prep for every two days away.) R is sort of hiding in the shade of Sam’s chill here. Sam is perhaps the most chilled of all the cats we’ve lived with. Sometimes he appears to be thinking deep thoughts, although I suspect that no matter how deep they are they pass through a country containing many stops for food. Of course, he’s now working on his second novel, which takes up a lot of his time. I think he’s looking off into the future right here, which is maybe an even more chilled space than the one he currently occupies. Right after I snapped this shot, we went back to cleaning the house so that it would be respectable for the cat sitter, and Sam went back to relaxing in his porch chair, which used to be my porch chair. Every time I think I’ve learned how to live, I look at Sam and understand just how far I have to go.

Mt. Kailash Inner Parikrama (Kora)
Mt. Kailash (6714m), Asia's most sacred mountain, is located in a high and isolated enclave of West Tibet . It is one of three pilgrimages sites in the area, known collectively as Kangri Tsosum. All are said to be at the heart of the ancient Shangshung kingdom, the supposed land of origin of the pre-Buddist Bonpos. Mt Kailash is their sould-mountain, which they also call Yungdrung Gu Tse, the Nine-story Swastika Mountain .
It is a 53-km pilgrim path around Mt. Kailash . It begins and ends at Darchen, a small settlement at the mountain south base and in the process visits four monasteries crosses the high Drolma La Pass (5636m). Three days is perhaps the minimum time required to walk leisurely around the mountain: spend two nights in or near Drira Phuk and Zutrul Phuk Monasteries. If conditions permit, try to stay four or five days, which would allow time for short trips to the inner regions of the area.
Gobi goat stew [1/4]. This series of pictures was taken during a brief visit to a party in Inner Mongolia. A family and their neighbors sacrificed a goat and made stew (and bbq) from it. We stayed long enough to see the process from start to finish, which took about 4 hours or thereabouts. Not much was wasted, and it was interesting to see how each member of the group did their part. (April 2001)
A moment before the 3rd photograph in this triptograph, I heard the distinctive flapping of geese wings. I raised my camera up and fired off a dozen quick shots of this Christmas scene in Victoria's inner harbour from the Songhees walkway.
I should have noted my shutter speed in the viewfinder was only 1/30th second. A quick switch to f/2.8 would have pushed my shutter speed fast enough to freeze these geese's motion. As it was, my slower shutter speed left them blurred, which I don't mind, as it does convey motion.
Shot on my Nikon D600 with my 50mm f/1.4D lens, f/3.5 for 1/30 second at ISO 500. I love the speed that this lens gives me, but it's noise is a little excessive for my tastes. I guess I've gotten spoiled shooting Nikon's expensive glass.

Part of a photography assignment I did last year, so I don't quite remember what I was required to do.
But I do recall my theme for it was along the lines of releasing your inner child.
Unfortunately and frustratingly, I selected 'Yes' to permanently deleting the folder that these files were in. It was only until I saw my photography files being removed that I clicked to cancel. Not much is left.. TT-TT
