. . . might be how the people on that 65' white catamaran felt as they cruised along the Nā Pali coast of Kaua'i. For a vertical sense of scale . . . the mast on the catamaran is 90'.
The Nā Pali coast took my breath away when I saw it from the sea for the first time. The sheer size, ruggedness and vibrant colours (the red is due to the iron-rich basalt rock surrounding Waimea Canyon) of the landscape were captivating.
The reason I know the size of that catamaran in this image is that I was on its sister ship for a sunset cruise of the Nā Pali coast.
This panorama is a stich of two images.

Life is a series of steps. Things are done gradually. Once in a while there is a giant step, but most of the time we are taking small, seemingly insignificant steps on the stairway of life.
- Ralph Ransom
You can disregard all of those bubbles on the surface of the water. They are really insignificant….but you might want to check again oh great bayou breath.
The truth is that I have no idea what causes those bubbles and they can disappear as quickly as they appear. The bayou changes day to day and can change hour by hour. I’m sure there’s an explanation, but I don’t have the answer.

Some unfortunate windscreen sun glare as a crew change takes place. During the changeover the 'Hoover Executive' headboard was added by enthusiasts with permission but was removed on arrival at Reading. 50 006 had been the first of the class to undergo refurbishment at Doncaster Works in an effort to improve reliability/availability and as the guinea pig was in the Plant for 25 months (September 1977 to November 1979). This not insignificant proportion of it's working life out of traffic and also early withdrawal (the second in 1987 following 50 011) meant that it was probably one of the least photographed members of the class (not in my case though - that dubious honour falls to 50 047).

A Varied Thrush manages to make me feel small and insignificant. This one wasn't shy (for a change) and was coming around our back deck during a cold snap recently. He's gone now (off to mate in the forests, no doubt) and I miss him!
An insignificant cheap MTB, you might think. But have a look at the rear rack - I think it's custom built to carry a pail/bucket (probably to transport shellfish collected from the shore here).
It's beginning to look a lot like ... a lot of snow!
The weather word is: We will have total accumulations of 15 cm/6 inches before it starts to rain around midnight tonight.
I don't really need to drive or even go out until Friday. So now that I am retired the weather has become slightly insignificant for me.
Yabba dabba do!
In an instant, a lightning bolt cuts across the sky: brief, yet dazzling. Life unfolds in much the same way—moments that seem insignificant can hold the power to change the course of everything we are. A glance, a gesture, an unexpected word… and suddenly, what was once familiar transforms into something entirely new. Perhaps it is within the fragility of the instant that the essential is revealed: not in the length of time, but in the intensity with which it touches us.

It seems that only when the end is near do we feel the need to rise above
LLega el amanecer ,observo ,contemplo ,me siento insignificante ante lo que me muestra la naturaleza...solo siento felicidad y solo disfruto de "mi momento" ante lo que me ofrece la madre naturaleza.
Comes the dawn, I observe, I contemplate, I feel insignificant to what shows me the nature... only feel happiness and only do enjoy my time before or that mother nature offers.

I always find astrophotography refreshing - a good reminder of how insignificant we truly are, and that we shouldn't take minutia too seriously.

The Pink-eared Duck is named after an insignificant spot of pink feathers on the side of the drake’s head. More striking are the bold black-and-white stripes which dominate the ducks’ neck, breast and underparts, giving rise to its vernacular name of Zebra Duck or Zebra Teal. Pink-eared Ducks have odd-shaped bills, evolved to feed in a specialised manner: water is sucked through the bill-tip, then expelled through grooves along the side of the bill, filtering out tiny invertebrates in the process.

Una foto un poco diferente a las que suelo colgar, en especial por el procesado que le he dado, quería darle fuerza al mensaje d elo pequeños que somos frente a la madre naturaleza y opté por desaturar. Espero esas criticas.

Shot taken in Berlin. The feeling of beeing little and insignificant at the foot of this Building is crazy. I Hope my photo gives you the Same feeling as i had taking it.
Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.
I love photographing deserts. There is something about it that attracts me a lot. It kind of shows the power of masses. Sand is probably the most insignificant particle you can find in nature. A microscopic element that has almost no real existence. But when you would get to a desert; you would feel the power of masses.
A desert is probably the example of the most rugged landscape of nature. Dry, hot, bright and cold everything together. Yes, afternoon in desert can get really uncomfortably hot and night can be uncomfortably cold.
But the desert is a fantastic subject for photography. It is hard to access deep desert, and you wouldn’t find many common tour companies taking you there. So, it stays pristine and untouched from mass tourism.
Footstep free desert is what we like to experience and this desert of M’hamid was nothing different. As usual we had spent camping 3 nights in the middle of Moroccan Sahara and the experience was priceless. We found many unique photo locations that I would probably explore more in future. Specially the night sky.
In the process we did capture some fantastic light in golden hour as well.
Here is one such evening that we enjoyed from a high sand dune looking towards one of the highest “erg” (sand dune) of the region. Yes, it is not the famous Erg Chigaga. The reason why it was empty and remained only for us!
I have made a short film to record our journey to this incredible place; you may be interested in watching. Click here to get amazed with the beauty of this special region of Morocco.
Please have a look at my website www.avisekhphotography.com for all my recent works.
Have a nice weekend.
Hope you will enjoy the picture.
Any suggestions or criticisms are always welcome.
I soon learned that an image seemingly insignificant can become meaningful and is an aspect of photography that I have always loved .

THE FLOWERING of NIGELLA...
First a smal, quite insignificant bud... tentavily opening, then, the full confident bloom... after that, the container with the next generation, the seedbox! Life of a flower!

The Kornhaus is another of the larger buildings on Zurich's westside. Here I went with a simple, yet overbearing composition of the brutal structure. Does it make you feel small and insignificant?

I’ve started work on a portrait project which is, let’s just say not insignificant, in its scope… because if I think about it too much, I realise it’s quite the crazy undertaking! So, while I was planning this out, I had to think about how my workflow might work. How do I make things as easy on myself as possible and keep the creativity as the priority, keeping the “how” out of the way as much as I can. I played with a few tools for a while and have now settled on Aperty.
Why Aperty? It was clear to me from early on in the testing that my normal tools, like Lightroom and Luminar, which I use A LOT, offer great processing but Aperty and its focus on portraits, offers a slicker workflow and quicker almost one click solutions.
Some of the more practical example use cases is wrinkles. 2 button clicks to apply some sympathetic tweaks to the image. In some cases, the wrinkles disappear, in others the harshness is reduced.
Now, don’t get me wrong… if transforming your models into smooth skinned alienlike creatures is your style, that’s possible too… but for more terrestrial based portraits, the tweaks applied by Aperty in just a few clicks feel appropriate, never overdone. Just a couple of button clicks for some natural results.
This being Skylum there are of course some fun additions to the normal options available too. You can for example have the software add some eyeliner to your model, or tweak their iris color as just two examples but that’s something for another day.
For now, what I see from Aperty is a great tool for anyone working on people pictures. The tools flow in a really nice, logical way for a processing work and a lot of the clutter you’d find in more general processing applications doesn’t feature here. Yet you can still do great environmental portraits too, as seen here… oh, and one more thing. You can grab Aperty for a 50% discount (link in the comments), plus a bonus month on the subscription and a bunch of extras. Have fun!
