Ganesha è una divinità molto amata ed invocata, poiché è il Signore del buon auspicio, che dona prosperità e fortuna, il Distruttore degli ostacoli di ordine materiale o spirituale e per questa ragione se ne invoca la grazia prima di iniziare una qualunque attività, come ad esempio un viaggio, un esame, un colloquio di lavoro, un affare, una cerimonia, o un qualsiasi altro evento importante ed è tradizione che tutte le sessioni di bhajan, canti devozionali, comincino con una invocazione a Ganesha, Signore del "buon inizio" anche dei canti.
Ganesha is a much loved and invoked deity, because he is the Lord of good auspice, which gives prosperity and fortune, the Destroyer of the obstacles of material or spiritual order and for this reason he invokes the grace before starting any activity, such as for example a trip, an exam, a job interview, a bargain, a ceremony, or any other important event and it is tradition that all bhajan sessions, devotional songs, start with an invocation to Ganesha, Lord of the "good start" also of the songs.
I don't know if this insect belongs to the bee sp. or wasp sp. I also am not sure why its legs are folded with only its mandibles gripping the twig for support.
Is it trying to test the strength of his mandibles? Or is it just trying to get some good rest? Anyone who can help me ID this insect?
Thanks to Melvin Baroga a.k.a. Nonoi, a great macro photographer whom I met just last weekend... Thanks for spotting this unusual insect! Kita tayo ulit this weekend kung sa'n ka sunod lang ako!

Jebel Jais (Jabal Jais) is the highest point of UAE just at the border of UAE & Oman. Even during peak summer weather here in night is pleasant, which makes this place a favorite night camping place among residents. Away from city lights you can have a very good view of stars in night. Morning is awesome. Unfortunately, sunrise is not visible from UAE part of this mountain. The highest peek is in Oman.

Strobist details:
430ex bouncing off roof, about a metre away, with a stofen. no ambient
El frontón Beti Jai, traducido del euskera “siempre fiesta” es un frontón construido por el arquitecto Juan de Rucoba y situado en el centro Madrid.
Cuenta con una fachada exterior neoclásica y la
Interior por el contrario de estilo neomudejar.
Hasta 1918 albergó no sólo el juego de pelota vasca, también actos políticos, ecuestres, bandas de música e incluso fue el campo de pruebas aeronáuticas de Torres-Quevedo
Tras su cierre fue abandonado mucho tiempo hasta que gracias a asociación vecinal se ha llevado acabo un proceso de restauración integral.
Se puede visitar por el programa de visitas bic del ayuntamiento de Madrid

For the strobists:
This shot is a good example of how one light can work for photography.
I set the light (speedlite 430ex) up on a stand to about 2 feet above Jai and aimed it at the roof (for soft light), with a stofen (to send light through the bars as a 'cookie' and to help spread light hitting the roof)
flash was on full, f/6.3, 1/200th of a second, and ISO 200 to cut out all ambient light.
Personally I like the inverted effect the bars on each side of him make with the lit and unlit floor.
there was a discussion recently on strobist concerning using flash with infants, whether it would negatively effect their eyes.
for that I say, baby pictures look better with soft light, so there's no reason to ever point the flash at them. this shot was diffused with a stofen (which loses about 2 stops, so is about the equivalent of direct flash at 1/4 power) AND fired at the roof, AND 1.5m away from the cot, AND fired BEHIND the babies back. If you are worried about negative effects PLEASE try this instead, the light bounced is not much in comparison to normal sunlight, and is for approximately 1/5000th of a second.
also, if you can get away with it, shoot with the babies eyes closed when using flash, and open when using natural light :)
for those shooting newborns while they are still in the hospital, i found a north facing window and used the soft light from that, and when i needed to, i threw a stofen on the hotshoe flash, and pointed it backwards into the room/ceiling to bounce.
My dear friend Jai.. she was feeling blue.. its really amazing how emotions can come through even on avi's

I added this one because of a great sale. She was $28 down from $42 or $44. If she comes up cheaper than I got her I'll snag another to keep NRFB, maybe.
