First experiments with a new form in the ever-evolving world of Pano-Sabotage photography that's been dubbed "MonitorPano". It's both a new turn for me and a return to a very old tactic I used in 2012 where I achieved coarse but provoking layers by photographing, with my Canon Rebel XS, my computers screen saver as it faded in and out between images in my photo files. The great thing was that the images didn't just click from one to the next like a slide show, they faded in and out over top of each other. There was always a "crossover" point where the two images would occupy the same amount of "presence" on the screen thereby becoming "fused" or "blended" ... in effect ... layered. A cruder version of Brian Enos Installation piece, "77 Million Paintings", perhaps, but using the same idea.

By the time Apple brought out the next Operating System, they'd taken out that scrolling slide show feature from what was then "iPhoto" and re-dubbed it "Photos". It always amazes me how the Silicon Valley geeks always "improve" things by taking out unique and wonderful features. Gotta mow it all down to sameness and uniformity, I guess. Unique features are seen as "mistakes".
Liz Mack has asked, "How long will it take for Apple to 'correct' the algorithms that allow for Pano-Sabotage photography ?"
MonitorPano, even though being hotly used right now and to great effect has actually been around quietly for a few years now. Don of the PANO-vision group was actually one of the first Pano-Sabotage artists to start "pano-ing" his desktop screen, and has often produced some very unique work with this method. Recently, Bill Smith, Paul Ewing and Liz Mack have taken it up with a vengeance with striking results.
"Graph ET 1" is the first finished piece that I created using the same technique the Paul, Bill, Liz and Don use. All of us in "PANO-Vision" learn a lot from each other and each of us makes invaluable contributions to the groups knowledge and technique base by that sharing. In PANO, as well call it for short, it's not about competition. We thrive by sharing. Each of us grows by contributing to an ongoing and easy exchange.
"MonitorPano" is achieved by setting one's cell phone camera on "Pano", clicking it on, while focusing on the desktop monitor and using the other hand to tap the arrow right ( or left ) key to quickly jump from photo to photo while the cell phone hand is pano-sabotaging the whole "pass". Tricky, and it takes some co-ordination, but it can be quite surprising what results.
This image was created for the PANO-Vision Groups Summer Contest, "PANO to the Metal".

Well, you learn something new every day! I always thought the male Bushtit had the yellow eye. Turns out it is the female that has the yellow eye! Also, I didn't know there was a difference but the Pacific Bushtits have a brown crown. The "Interior" Bushtits have a grey crown and brown cheeks!

My orchid that has lain dormant for months started blooming again on January 1st - Definitely fits the weekly theme of "New Beginnings".
One of the photographic techniques that I want to learn more about this year is focus stacking, which would work well for such a subject.
I spent some time this past summer trying to learn how better to secure images of pollinators of all kinds. That project was motivated by my sunrise walks down an abandoned road southeast of Ottawa, where overgrown wildflowers grew in thick and deep bunches on the sides of the road, and where butterflies and moths and bees and wasps spent the first light re-energizing for the new day.
The subjects of the photographs had a lot more freedom to drift away from the road to the wild meadows than I had - old fences and thick vegetation kept me pretty hemmed in. That meant having to get creative in most cases, which was part of learning how to manage the situation. I really liked this image, shot through a wall of vegetation to find the Skipper - not an especially exotic one for people who know these creatures - who was drinking from the wildflower.
This activity and the many early mornings it entailed was a response to the impact of the pandemic on birding and bird photography. Most of my usual places had not adjusted particularly well to the changed circumstances, and so the solitary mornings were just what the public health officials ordered.
I really hope everyone is safe and has a great holiday break. I now know people (healthcare workers) who are scheduled to be vaccinated shortly in Ottawa so things are slowly moving forward - please take care.
And many sincere thanks to the people who look at, like and/or comment on my images. I really appreciate the connection. I spend a lot of my free time looking at and learning from others, but this is an amazing community, and it offers a lot to me in different ways - especially with the superb images people are posting. So: many thanks, and stay safe.
Still trying to learn photoshop.... aiming for the retro look for portraits - with a twist... hmm... OK will try some more later... after a splash in the neighborhood pool.
On black.
Things weren' t going my way
I was feeling down all the time
You held me through the pain
Stood by me in the rain
So today I'm free
Feeling fine all the time
Don't have to wait and see
We're on a one way dream
Like the clouds I'm flying and I'm...
And now I' m flying high above the sky
And it' s all because of you
I got a feeling in my heart
My life can really start
And it' s all because of you
-Sunrise Ave
Press L, please :)
And on those days when you get up... and already, nothing feels right, and you have a pretty good idea that it is going to be "one of those days" .... you keep your mouth shut... and you learn. That's my plan... and I'm sticking to it. (That, and total avoidance of people in general. Good luck to me on that one...)

Haven’t been out in the field much recently, so here is a picture from a few years back - a Fringe-lipped Bat - Trachops cirrhosis - from Chan Chich Lodge in Belize. It’s not a particularly interesting or compelling effort - but it turns out to be of at least minor importance.
By way of background, there are lots of environmentalists and scientists looking for images to illustrate their projects and flickr is an important searching ground. That’s one reason why I make a careful effort to title and tag my wildlife photos with as much data as possible.
In this case, a postdoctoral fellow in Central America needed a picture of Fringe-lipped Bat. In the last few days she was able to find in my photo stream the one I’ve put in the comments section below. On an off chance, she also asked via flickrmail if I had any images of this species showing an orange crust on its wings. The article she is writing concerns this component of the species’s physiology - apparently something related to its mating habits.
I didn’t recall any such thing, but did take a look through my Lightroom catalog. Sure enough, I found the above image from the same photoshoot. When I processed it and forwarded it to the researcher, she was ecstatic. Her joy in having an image perfect for her purposes gave me a nice feeling as well.

One more frame of this fabulous scene from six weeks ago. I believe this was the last time 9017 ran on the Moosehead and maybe the last time she's run since. The last I saw was that she's been reported in Montreal since Feb. 21st. I'm not sure why that is or if she'll ever pass this way again. But I cut this one close and am glad I made the trip when I did!
Here's the original caption with the earlier posts.
Day two on the the old Canadian Pacific International of Maine Railway started with a drive west from Geeenville to Jackman where we set up a few miles outside of town for this few of the Canadian crew nearing the end of their run. Train 250 from St. Luc to Brownville Junction looks like the Central Maine and Quebec was never sold as its sole power was a pair of SD40-2F Barns CMQ 9017 and 9020 (GMDD London, ON blt. Nov. 1988 for CP with the same numbers). The 9017 received this Bangor and Aroostook heritage scheme in 2016 at the historic former BAR Derby shops to honor one of CMQ's component roads.
They are seen here crossing the Moose River between Attean Pond and Wood Pond two miles railroad west of town near MP 75.5 on CP's Mooshead Sub.

A bit of fun! I saw this fish, all alone in a fish tank, in the entrance hall to Angkor National Museum in Seam Reap, Cambodia. Having visited Angkor Wat, we went to the museum to learn more about the history of temples and religions in Cambodia. I just couldn't resist taking a photograph of such a vibrantly coloured and unusual looking fish. I have no idea what it is but I spent ages trying to freeze the fish's motion to get a passable side view through the glass. I've spent less time getting shots of a single lion or leopard!!

I was working on two of my photographic projects, then Carnival arrived, I put aside what I had done up until then, and so I created this group of photographs; they are shots taken during the Carnival which took place in Taormina center (Taormina alta) and in Trappitello (fraction of Taormina, the plain part of Taormina, located towards the hinterland; there is also Taormina seaside, but this part is not was affected by the Carnival). Carnival, from a photographic point of view, has always interested me not for its allegorical floats, not for its beautiful or refined masks, but for the people who find themselves "behind the masks", for their emotions, the their ability to have fun, to uninhibit themselves, even in front of the camera. I photographed a detail of the float dedicated to the mayor of Taormina, Cateno De Luca, I photographed boys and girls from the masked groups who paraded through the city streets, as well as boys and girls not belonging to any group, who had fun with clothes invented for the 'occasion; despite having placed heterogeneous photographs, I mostly followed a theme that refers to a work by Andy Warhol, an iconic figure of Pop Art as well as being one of the most important artists of the 20th century, ideally linking myself for its creation to the allegorical float of Pop Art of Taormina.
I conclude, I dedicate this work to the flicker-friend White Angel, hoping to please her.

……………….
Stavo lavorando a due miei progetti fotografici, poi è arrivato il Carnevale, ho messo da parte quanto avevo fino ad allora fatto, ed ho così realizzato questo gruppo di fotografie; sono scatti realizzati durante il Carnevale che si è svolto a Taormina centro (Taormina alta) ed a Trappitello (frazione di Taormina, la parte in pianura di Taormina, sita verso l’entroterra; c’è anche Taormina mare, ma questa parte non è stata interessata dal Carnevale). Il Carnevale, dal punto di vista fotografico, mi ha sempre interessato non per i suoi carri allegorici, non per le sue maschere belle o ricercate che siano, ma per le persone che si trovano “dietro le maschere”, per le loro emozioni, la loro capacità di divertirsi, di disinibirsi, anche davanti la macchina fotografica. Ho fotografato un dettaglio del carro dedicato al sindaco di Taormina, Cateno De Luca, ho fotografato ragazzi e ragazze dei gruppi in maschera che sfilavano per le vie cittadine, come ragazzi e ragazze non appartenenti a nessun gruppo, che si divertivano con vestiti inventati per l’occasione; pur avendo messo fotografie eterogenee, ho seguito maggiormente un tema che fa riferimento ad un lavoro di Andy Warhol, figura iconica della Pop Art oltre che essere uno dei più importanti artisti del XX secolo, agganciandomi idealmente per la sua realizzazione, al carro allegorico della Pop Art di Taormina.
Concludo, dedico questo lavoro alla flicker-friend White Angel, sperando di farle cosa gradita.

Looking to the south. A river was interrupted by the debris hill, making the pond. There used to be a town called Gekko-cho, meaning moon light. So the lake is called Gekko pond.
