Yeah, I know it's Valentine's Day.. not Weekend,.. and that it was yesterday, but I'm late with my post.. so sue me! :P
Anyway, the fact that I'm single doesn't mean that I can't throw on a pretty pinkish/reddish dress, wear some sexy high heels and make myself pretty... so that's just what I did.
Sadly, I was only able to take pictures inside.. and that doesn't make for very interesting shots.
I hope you all had a great weekend, single or with a loved one! (or a couple of loved ones.. if that's your thing :-P )

I really love this gown!
Maybe some of you know that feeling when you want to wear a dress for eternity...

The first stop on my north Balkan trip was Zagreb. It's a very beautiful city, full of gorgeous women, but unfortunately there's not much to do. I wandered around most of the town in a couple of hours, including going up and down hills. It doesn't really seem to be a tourist city, or a party city.
Some places look great from the outside, but sadly Zagreb's most famous landmark, the cathedral, was covered in scaffolding. I assume for some sort of renovation work. Luckily, most religious buildings, whether in Paris, Budapest or at home in London have fantastic interiors. Zagreb Cathedral was no exception.
I was amazed as soon as I walked in. I sneakily brought out my camera and took a few shots. No-one seemed to mind. I then got out my tripod and reeled off a few more exposures. A nun walked past me, smiled, and carried on. It turns out that 90% of the churches in this part of the world allow non-flash photography inside with no problem whatsoever. Such a change from most countries I've visited.
During my shoot, an elderly Croat woman walked by, smiled and said something to me. Upon telling her I didn't understand, she laughed and walked off. Later on, she returned and spoke to me once more. I repeated that I didn't understand Croatian. Regardless, she spent the next 20 minutes telling me a story. It was very entertaining. She had different voices for different parts or characters in the tale. When she laughed, I laughed and when her tone became sombre, I put on my serious face. I took from her body language and sound effects that part of the story was about something falling over. This could mean that she was giving me information about the cathedral, as it partly collapsed during an earthquake in 1880.
I'd definitely visit Croatia again, but next time will be around the coast to places like Split, Dubrovnik and Hvar. I maybe even add it on to a Bosnia trip.

The main hall of Chehel Sotun is a three dome structure, with each dome being flanked by a vaulted arch on either side, to give a total of six vaults. Each vault is filled with a large scale fresco painted on ceramic with the detail of a Persian miniature as used until then only in book illustrations. The decoration and the frescoes of the main hall were finished in 1647, under the auspices of Shah Abbas II to record key events in the Safavid dynasty
The renowned frescoes overpower the beautiful decoration of the domes and the vault surroundings. The decoration is in the Safavid style, similar to that found in the mosques, but instead of blues and yellows the dominant colour here is a warm gold. The richness of colour contributes to the overwhelming experience. The impact of the frescoes is due in a large part due to the very decorations that they are embedded into, and as such form an integral part of.
The internal roof is all the more breathtaking considering this palace was badly damaged when Esfahan was occupied by the Afghans from 1721-1729, who covered the frescoes with thick white paint. The remarkable recovery is being carried out by the Instituto Italiano per Il Medio Oriente. It seems only the dome frescoes are beyond repair, which makes the well preserved dome fresco on the open air rear terrace all the more precious.
The eastern side (shown here on the lower half) shows three frescoes, from left to right:
- Shah Abbas II's party for Nader Mohammad Khan, Emir of Turkistan
- Shah Ismail I's battle in India
- Shah Ismail I's Battle of Taher-Abad against Sheibak Khan the Uzbek
The western side (shown here on the top half) also shows three frescoes, from right to left:
- Shah Tahmasp receiving the Hindu prince Humayun
- Shah Ismail I's Battle of Chaldoran against the Ottoman Turks
- Shah Abbas I's feast in honor of Vali Mohammad Khan, Emir of Turkestan
The lower walls that support the domed and vaulted roof feature an additional twenty small frescoes, placed between the doors, niches and windows. These are conventional frescoes painted on plaster, and somewhat dominated by the six large frescoes in the ceiling vaults. While they have survived less well, they depict daily life at the Safavid court in exquisite detail.
note: There are "Click for detail" links attached to notes over each individual fresco, that load the separate photo of the relative fresco, including the smaller frescoes along the lower walls.
On our first trip to Iran, I took so many photos inside the main hall that upon reviewing the photos, I realised there were enough photos to create this composite image of the entire ceiling, excluding the lower walls. The shadows from the side windows have been reduced, but not removed to retain a sense of depth. The individual photos had to be manipulated considerably to 'flatten' the complex form of the ceiling and join the pieces together - a process which by nature introduces distortions in spatial form as well as technically compromising the resolution of some sections more than others, depending on the level of correction. In addition, with the inevitable 'flip and copy' sections, this image is not 100% accurate.
For over a year, while this image accumulated some 3,000 views, there were dark black shadows where the detail of the lower walls was missing.
On our second trip to Iran I systematically photographed the lower walls, taking first a series of photos of both walls to create a stitched panorama image of each wall, as well as taking individual photos of each of the small frescoes, which were post processed as individual shots (each also individually uploaded to flickr from the individual shots) and then reduced into the wall 'panoramas'. The two composite wall 'panoramas' were subsequently added to the top and bottom of the composite roof image. Finally the combined 'roof and walls composite' was re-equalised to match the roof and the walls, as well as enhancing colour and contrast from the earlier 'roof only' versions.
Unfortunately not a single shot of the small fresco on the right beside the eastern main entrance came out sharp enough, so for time being, there is no large version available of that particular fresco, and accordingly, there is no 'Click for detail' link on this composite.
Instead of uploading the complete version as a new image, I chose to replace this previously incomplete image.
The complete composite measures 10400 x 14941 at 133Mb in JPEG (in PSD it's 2GB and that's in 8bit after the 16bit version ran out of memory...). This scaled down version measures 'only' 2048x1534 at 4Mb. The six main frescoes linked from this page are crops from the high resolution PSD original, while the smaller frescoes from the lower walls are linked to the original size photos, which appear in reduced size on this composite.
The EXIF data originates from a photo from the lower part of the 'Battle in India' fresco, but all photos were taken with identical exposure etc. During both trips to Iran I was still shooting with the Nikon D200, so the Sigma 30mm f1.4 was the perfect lens given its equivalent to the classic normal prime on an APS-C sensor. The hall is remarkably dark, and no flash is allowed. The crowdy environment means setting up a tripod is simply not an option. The Sigma f1.4 allowed the low noise ISO400 to be used while still achieving a speed of 1/45 sec - just fast enough to get a sharp handheld picture...
I am attempting to create similar composites of Vank Cathedral, and the Apadana Stairs...

130 exposures stacked using Zerene stacker.
The subject is placed inside a white ping-pong ball acting as a micro light tent. A single Nikon SB-24 fired from above.
Change on the outside makes the inside feel better.
I could have shopped this sucker 'till the pixels thought they were squares, but I had the need to do something raw, with little to none except some obvious color change.
I started Guitar lessons and im inspired to think about what cover art I might commission for myself....You never know.....I might want to be a SUPERSTAR....lol
Saint Mark's Basilica is a monument made unique by both its wealth of history and the magnificence of its façade and interior. In essence, it is a splendid workshop, where, through the centuries, worked great Italian and European artists.
Most of the present structures were built during 12th and 13th centuries, although a church was there in the same place from at least 6th century. The church is rich with engravings, sculptures and paintings inside by renowned artists and the outside i decorated by marble columns and picturesque engravings on the facades. It is such a historic beauty of architecture and art blended so ornately..
The Church and St.Marks Square also was very important in the political, social and art history of Venice and so of entire Europe.
The interior is based on a Greek cross, with each arm divided into three naves and emphasized by a dome of its own and one dome above the crossing. The dome above the crossing and the western dome are bigger in size than the other three. This is based on Justinian's Basilica of the Apostles in Constantinople. The marble floor (17th century, but underwent many restorations) is entirely tessellated in geometric patterns and animal designs. The techniques used were opus sectile and opus tessellatum.
The upper order of the interior is completely covered with bright mosaics containing gold, bronze, and the greatest variety of stones. The decorated surface is on the whole about 8000 m2. In the most ancient works, both Byzantine and Gothic influences can be recognized, as for example in the Saints from the 11th century between the windows of the apse. In the vault above is a mosaic with Christ Pantocrator. From the apse towards the entrance (from east to west) one can contemplate the history of Salvation in the domes: the Prophets, the Ascension, and the Pentecost (Whitsun). The domes over the transept are called St John’s (stories of St John the Evangelist) and St Leonard’s (with other saints). In the vaults between the domes are represented episodes of Jesus’ life.
As mentioned above, restorations and replacements were often necessary thereafter, and great painters such as Paolo Uccello, Andrea del Castagno, Paolo Veronese, Jacopo Tintoretto, and his son Domenico took part drawing the cartoons. Titian and the Padovanino prepared the cartoons for the sacristy, built in the late 19th century. Among the mosaicists for Titian's cartoons, was Valerio Zuccati of Treviso, and his brothers.

Photo taken of me by Ashley, my 16 yr old niece, with my camera. My eyes have not been photoshoped. They turn blue or green depending on the color I am wearing. It was her idea to wrap the scarves around my head and only show my eyes. Tell me what you think of her shot....

This is a look inside the Hatto (Dharma Hall) of the Kencho-ji Temple in Kamakura, Japan. It was built in 1814 and to this day is still the largest Buddhist wooden temple building in eastern Japan. This hall is home to a statue of the goddess, Kannon, the goddess of compassion and mercy.
Guanyin is an East Asian spiritual figure of mercy, and a bodhisattva associated with compassion as venerated by Mahayana Buddhists. The name Guanyin means "Perceiving the Sounds (or Cries) of the World".
In Japanese, Guanyin is pronounced Kannon. The spelling Kwannon, based on a premodern pronunciation, is sometimes seen. This rendition was used for an earlier spelling of the well-known camera manufacturer Canon Inc., which was named for Guanyin.
Source and more info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanyin
Sitting below the many armed Kannon is an image of the starving Buddha. The Buddha and his companions tried to find enlightenment through deprivation of worldly goods, including food, practising self-mortification. After nearly starving himself to death by restricting his food intake to around a leaf or nut per day, he collapsed in a river while bathing and almost drowned. Siddhartha was rescued by a village girl named Sujata and she gave him some payasam (a pudding made from milk and jaggery) after which Siddhartha got back some energy and began to reconsider his path. He subsequently discovered what Buddhists call the Middle Way - a path of moderation away from the extremes of self-indulgence and self-mortification

I have really started to fall in love with doing Vetoramas recently I love how they make the room look so much bigger and you also get a lot of detail from the pictures at 100% due to how many shots are merged together.
This is from inside the Chapel in the Maritime Museum which is on Greenwich, London. I took this shot in the same visit to the Painted Hall when i went there a few weeks back.
If you like this picture please feel free to look at my London Set for others from london or my HDR set for all of my HDR shots. I have also created a set which all of my Vertoramas are in as well.

The Library of the Parliament.
I visited on a rainy afternoon and was quite impressed with the tour. I could get lost in this beautiful tranquility surrounded by books that connect the past and the present to the future.
It looks more like a movie set than a place to work.
Inside an abandoned mansion that is slowly being demolished. This place is 32,000 square feet! It has 17 bathroom & was originally listed for sale at $45,000,000 but sold for $35,000,000. It is being demolished to make way for 30 condos that range in price from $3,595,000 to $6,995,000. As of today there is still 15 condos available so if you have several million dollars to spare one could be yours!
