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.

Have a nice weekend.
Hope you will enjoy the picture.

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!
Nigella, also known as 'devil-in-a-bush' or 'love in a mist'.

I took this picture on our first hike on the first day in the Faroe Islands. My friend and I had just arrived to this stunningly beautiful country and we were already in awe by its beauty...
No matter how many times i see the mountains they always make you realise how small and insignificant mankind is.
My contribution to this new life is relatively insignificant. A few minutes of my time one night in September and then a a ride to the hospital some nine months later. It is a good thing that was the extent of my initial responsibility, otherwise, she might not be here. I don't like pain. I certainly would not willingly do something that I know would lead to someone I barely know making an 8 inch incision across my abdomen in order to pull this life into the world. Thank you to my wife for this wonderful gift.
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.

Sometimes . . .
you just feel insignificant!
Nothing to do,
Nowhere to be,
A simple little kind of free
Nothing to do,
No one but me...
And that's all I need
I'm perfectly lonely...
Perfectly lonely.
Perfectly lonely, yeah...
'Cause I don't belong to anyone
and nobody belongs to me.

. one day you’ll grow up and find a way past all the hurt, all the roads burnt brighter than the stars and maybe one day you’ll have your happy story, maybe he’ll make yours his and maybe you’ll grow strong in your collarbones, maybe you won’t break when someone abandons your heart, you’ll have thick skin and laugh as they leave,
but for now you’ll rest your head and pretend,
it’s all okay, it’s all insignificant.
you’ll stare into space wishing you were the one he fell in love with. and you’ll crush your soul pretending you’re not worth a thing,
yet everyone has to fall, everyone has to feel to stay alive.
so as the moon crashes down on your visions, you’ll hold on to that maybe. that maybe one day, you’ll have your happy ending
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!
You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
I breathe deep and cry out,
"Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?"
And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something...
In a landscape where every blade of grass is a giant’s height, a daisy is a giant’s tower, and even a discarded bolt (where did that come from?) is too heavy for an ordinary human to lift, you are tiny, insignificant, and possibly lost.
As you explore those things overlooked in other realms, discover the hidden world of Fireflies and Minnows, tiny flying pixies and equally tiny aquatic mer creatures.
Something far in the past has divided these two cultures, a rift seemingly impassable. But there are those who seek harmony, a way to heal the past, and a way to create the future. We invite you to learn their stories and unravel their mysteries in Wistlyn Shallows.

This waterfall is located just west of Lauterbrunnen in the Bernese Highlands, south of Interlaken. The waterfall drops 297m from a hanging valley that ends in overhanging cliffs above the Weisse Lütschine.
The stream, on reaching the verge of the rocky walls of the valley, forms a cascade so high that it is almost lost in spray before it reaches the level of the valley. After rain, and early in the season (as seen above) when fed by melting snow, Staubbach Falls is very striking. The force of the stream above the fall at such times is sufficient to carry the water clear of the precipice, and the whole mass descends in a condition of liquid dust, between spray and cloud, that sways to-and-fro with the gentlest breeze. In a dry summer, when the supply of water is much reduced, the effect is comparatively insignificant.
The building in the foreground, in the village of Lauterbrunnen, would appear to be apartments. I cannot find it on that the street view element of that well-known online mapping tool - replaced in the 30+ years since then...?

Dear Flickr fans,
There are 14 series to share with you today, I paid nearly two weeks and a half to observe, daily 6am ~ 8:30 am. (29-06 ~ 16-07-2013)
Mostly don't have comment box, really want to save everyone's time.
Of course, finally give a some photo by comment box, please continue to support Aberlin. Thanks a lot.
This is my first time so observed, very excited to have this wonderful opportunity,please believe Aber will keep the best safe distance.(Broken shell and day 2)
Wish I going with you together and touch nature and ecological protection,
( I know you should be better than me, but you and I strength is insignificant, we live and we learn.)
Need to tell a key point with all Flickr fans,
Whether for a contact or not, when you have comment to me, absolutely will must reply, but could be and delay.
If you just added to favorites, perhaps I'm ignored, anyway in principle, should be well to give attention to comments friends, am I right?
All best wish,
Aber
My tribute to Kent MacDonald's "A World Between Worlds" series. I noticed one of his photos on the Flickr Blog last week and felt inspired to try my hand at making something similar.
You can view his photo series here: www.flickr.com/photos/kent-macdonald/sets/72157650314035922/
I was going to post something else, but I think it can wait until next week. I'm getting really excited about this project and all the ideas I'm having for future photos, I can't wait to share them!
The game is Trivia and we're pretty darned good at it!
Trivia
noun
1. Insignificant trifles of little importance, especially items of unimportant information.
2. A quiz game that involves obscure facts.
3. Plural form of trivium.
We were sitting outside the Explorers Lounge on the Coral Princess, waiting for the room to clear out. They were having an art auction then Afternoon Trivia. I really liked the way the light was hitting on Niccy so I took a shot, in Manual!
We've discovered in all our years of cruising that we've learned a lot of useless facts and statistics, making us naturals for playing trivia. The cruise ship hosts always have some good questions and it's always fun to learn something new.
On our last Transatlantic we actually joined up with some other folks and formed a team (Maximum of 6 players per team). We had 2 retired Veterinarians, a retired Microbiologist, a retired Research Scientist, Niccy (for all things medical) and myself for most things music related. Everyone got along with so well that we all scheduled another Transatlantic cruise for next year, from Cape Canaveral to SouthHampton.
Yeah, we might take our trivia a bit too seriously but only when we're cruising!
My first foray into using Ilford Delta 400 ... I have to say I like it !
I also change up my developing workflow a bit as I added a minute wash wish Hypo after my fixer and a final rinse with distilled water. It seem to have helped as my negatives, at least for this first roll, seem to be consistently clear of any particles.

Decided to beat the heat of the southwest for a couple of days and visit the northwest... This is one of my favorite falls in the area
Or perhaps, just asleep on the job! (ツ)
Only joking! - Actually, she was simply waiting for the flower to open! ;-) It's another one of those really minute bees - even smaller than Leo - about 5mm long!!!
Best viewed in lightbox and on full screen (F11), of course!
The gear! Shh!!! Mum's the word!
★ Food for thought :
The bee is fast becoming an endangered species in many parts of the world. In France, the newly arrived Asian hornet is just another nail in the coffin. Without the bee, we too could well become an endangered species! :-(( - Love thy neighbour and thy bee however small and insignificant it may appear to be.
"If the Bee Disappeared Off the Face of the Earth, Man Would Only Have Four Years Left To Live" - Albert Einstein
God slay the Asian queens and save our noble bees!
(to the tune of God Save the Queen)
Take care and many thanks for calling,

Pont y Pandy - Slate Mill or Ynysypandy and Nant y Pandy, near Porthmadog . The most impressive and best location visited on the trip to North Wales was this glorious building. The light from the sun going down gave great colous and a perfectly clear night made for a spectacular display of stars as well as the Milky way. I felt quite insignificant when I looked in to the sky that night.
I met up with some friends at this dark sky park. We parked next to a small group from the Lake County Astronomy Club and were invited to view the moon through one members telescope. I felt insignificant with only my tripod and camera. First time using the Samyang 14mm 2.8, the 2.8 is much nicer to have for night sky than my Sony 16-35 f4. It was the tale end of the Perseids meteor shower and very little action.
Unfortunately since I scouted this location a wind farm was constructed with bright red lights on every turbine facing South the same direction as the Milky Way! The red from these lights really changes the light in the sky and is very hard to correct. As one can see in the star trails photo the colors in the sky facing North are way more pleasing!

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.

At the Canadian War Memorial I was suprised at how emotional I felt. Today we are involved in wars which a lot of us think we shouldn't be. Another news bulletin comes on informing us that yet another solider has been killed and I do not stop to even think for one moment about it.........afterall it happens all the time, right?. As I looked at the photograph today it became very real to me that a smiling boy fighting somewhere in the world, for a cause he may not even believe in will never return home and all that will be left is a photograph of him somewhere smiling.
When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it? (Eleanor Roosevelt)

Some expressions are just so good that they make the obvious technical mistakes insignificant. This is one of those expressions... and this is full of technical mistakes... and I love it.

Hom sap que les discussions més absurdes pels detalls més insignificants, per les coses més nímies, es poden trobar en una comunitat de veïns.
En aquest cas, però, sigui per imposició de l'urbanisme municipal o per un exercici elogiable d'entesa veïnal, el resultat és d'una harmonia excepcional.
