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

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.

There is a life-force within your soul, seek that life.
There is a gem in the mountain of your body, seek that mine.
O traveler, if you are in search of That
Don't look outside, look inside yourself and seek That.*

It's raining outside... I am waiting for a moment to take some waterdrop shots... in the
meanwhile I started to organize my summercapture-archives. I have been diving into the Honeysuckle one... Here are some finds - and some more will follow if it doesn't stop raining ;)
By the way: in German Honeysuckle is called "Jelängerjelieber".... translated into English this means "The longer it takes, the more I love it".
My Iced Wild River Reflection…!!!
Just look how happy was my wild river after my last post…!!! :)))

Listen to your heart
asking for the light
open up yourself
let it in!
Let the flame of light
burn through
didn't you know
your heart
is longing for it!

Blues are the most caring, nurturing and protective personalities in the color-spectrum.
They live out of their hearts and their emotions. Their life purpose is to serve, help and love others. Blues have an inner knowledge and wisdom and they feel and know what is right without needing facts or data for substantiation. The moment they become quiet inside, they will recognize or hear an inner voice or guidance, which will tell them what to do. They can easily tune into other people and feel precisely what is going on. Blues are the most emotional of all the color personalities.
Coming home from a walk I already had my camera packed away.......
when I saw the last rays of the sun shining through the garden.....
I just had to get it out again.
Her beauty shines in the night,
Young and strong, her spirit’s light.
Lips whisper tales unspoken,
An African queen, beauty awoken.
In shadow, her essence glows,
A quiet strength, everyone knows.

We have had lots of rain and dark clouds. Nevertheless when I captured this Echinacea and the berries of the wild vine (foregoing photograph) I was amazed how strong the colours came out. No enhacing/saturating at all!
Wäre nicht das Auge sonnenhaft,
wie könnten wir das Licht erblicken?
Lebt nicht in uns des Gottes eigene Kraft,
wie könnt uns Göttliches entzücken*
*Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
in Zahme Xenien
If our eyes weren't like the sun,
how could we ever see the light?
If the power of God didn't dwell in men
how could we be enlightened by his might?
