I always wonder how dogs perceive their
surrounding world over their nose..........
flickr.com/photos/lightspectrals/2210550162/in/photostream/ ...... I am still suffering of a terribly slow internet connection (due to my slow computer)... so surfing flickr isn't that
much fun for the moment... waiting "hours" for the pages to build up.
Hope to be back with all of you soon... as soon as I can make my final decision
which new computer or notebook to buy...
[Any suggestions? My favourites at the moment: Sony Vaio or an Apple Macbook....]
My Song
This song of mine will wind its music around you,
my child, like the fond arms of love.
The song of mine will touch your forehead
like a kiss of blessing.
When you are alone it will sit by your side and
whisper in your ear, when you are in the crowd
it will fence you about with aloofness.
My song will be like a pair of wings to your dreams,
it will transport your heart to the verge of the unknown.
It will be like the faithful star overhead
when dark night is over your road.
My song will sit in the pupils of your eyes,
and will carry your sight into the heart of things.
And when my voice is silenced in death,
my song will speak in your living heart.
~Rabindranath Tagore
... just a little sign I am still around but limiting my time to flickr due to many many things calling me in the "offline world". Thank you so much for all your caring and loving words in the past two weeks!
Have a wonderful & lightfilled start into the new week.....
My wild river reflection!!!
In side, at the center, in the key position, is the light principle; the dark principle is outside. Thus the light has a powerful influence, while the dark is submissive. In this way each receives its due.
I CHING, HEXAGRAM XI
A l'intérieur, au centre, à la place décisive, se trouve l'élément lumineux; l'élément obscur est à l'extérieur. Ainsi le principe lumineux exerce une influence créatrice et le principe obscur garde une attitude soumise. De la sorte les deux parties reçoivent leur dû.
YI KING, HEXAGRAMME XI
Life In The Gravity Well… Michael Stearns… a great Stearns on a wonderful video on reflections… !!!
* Ervin (penseroso) did it again: he found the perfect title I was looking for!!! Thank you!
(see his comment below)
Half warrior, half breath.
My spirit still stands, even when my body can’t.
And from that light below —
where nothing should shine —
rises my breath, entire and undefeated.
I still wear, now and then, the pants from my old Aikido uniform.
I was never a great Aikidoka, and truth be told, I never liked to fight.
Aikido, for me, was a beautiful game: a dance of balance, of listening, of energy flowing.
Then I had a serious accident, and now I can only do soft, gentle movements.
But something remains untouched.
Not the technique, not the belt, not the falls.
What remains is the spirit.
That can't be trained — and can't be taken away.
Chinese brand of lens manufacturer 7Artisans has a 10mm focal length fisheye lens for cameras with full frame sensors.
The angle of coverage is very wide, 178º, in fact, in this test photo you can see my Nikon Z 7 II camera with that lens on the far left of the mirror.
It is marketed with different mounts, including Nikon's Z mount.
It does not have any electronic connection pin, so there is no communication between the camera and the lens, therefore the focal length or aperture parameters may be wrong or non-existent.
Obviously, the focus and aperture are done in manual mode (M), although you can interact with other camera parameters such as exposure time or ISO sensitivity.
You can also use that new function that many advanced cameras have, such as the so-called "focus contour" (or "focus peaking").
I appreciate the explanations that Flickr member Mali Davies makes in his Youtube video regarding this lens.

PRIMER TEST CON LA NUEVA LENTE OJO DE PEZ, 2023
La marca de fabricación de lentes, de origen chino, 7Artisans, tiene una lente ojo de pez con una distancia focal de 10mm para cámaras con sensores de formato completo.
El ángulo de cobertura es muy amplio, de 178º, de hecho, en esta foto de prueba se ve mi cámara Nikon Z 7 II con esa lente en el extremo izquierdo del espejo.
Se comercializa con diferentes monturas, incluida la montura Z de Nikon.
No tiene ningún pin de conexión electrónica, con lo que no hay comunicación entre la cámara y la lente, por tanto los parámetros de distancia focal o de apertura de diafragama pueden ser erróneos o inexistentes.
Evidentemente el enfoque y la apertura de diafragma se hacen en modo manual (M), aunque se puede interactuar con otros parámetros de la cámara como son el tiempo de exposición o la sensibilidad ISO.
También se puede usar esa nueva función que tienen muchas cámaras avanzadas como es el llamado "contorno de enfoque" (o "focus peaking").
Agradezco las explicaciones que hace en su video de Youtube el miembro de Flickr Mali Davies en relación con esta lente.
