Yes, I totally realize in every way how this title is obviously promotional. I am totally ok with that, and you will be too. Because Phlearn is FREE.
I make 5 videos a week to help people get better at photoshop and photography. I put my heart into making every episode great. So it is with no shame that I promote something I know will help you.

About this Photo.
This photo is based on the concept of the Phoenix. In its beginning I wanted to go a lot more literal with a woman rising from the ashes and turning into a FireBird. As I got deep into my sketching and research, most of what I saw and drew looked way more comic book than what I wanted. The concept is important, but I wanted to add an element of fine art into it.
The model's name is Darya, and she has been through a lot in the last few months. She just moved to Chicago, and things didn't play out exactly as she'd hoped. Darya is strong. She doesn't let circumstance control her life. She is in the middle of a change, and like a Phoenix, she is shedding her old life, and bursting forth with a new life.
Note. This is a panorama, about 60 MegaPixels. Because Flickr is better suited to portrait vs lanscape orientation, it looks really small. You may view it larger on my Portfolio site if you are into that sort of thing.
A line from an old American folk song of the 60's is fitting for the current history of Syria. Why does a leader kill many of the citizens of his country, make others flee their homes and homeland and destroy the treasures of the country he leads. It is hard to believe that such insanity still prevails and why and for what gain.
This is the 11th century crusader castle near Homs in Syria. I read that it was recently bombed. It is on the UNESCO's World Heritage sites endangered list.
I have posted other pictures of Syria. They are all in the set this image was added to I visited Syria three years ago and now thousands of Syrians have died and millions have had to flee in order to save their own lives. I never thought in a million years that I would be showing pictures of a disappearing Syria just a few years after my visit there.
This is the first shot of total solar eclipse for me. North is up.
Sky was clear as expected at the moment, and I could enjoy the exciting celestial event with people there.
The time of the DSLR was late by 8 seconds. It was 7 seconds after the beginning of Total solar eclipse at the site. The left or east side edge of the moon was still very near the east side edge of the sun, and red solar flare of the eastern surface is visible widely at the moment.
I took a series of shots up to 8-second exposure with variation of length 1:64,000 during the total solar eclipse, and I will enjoy processing and composing of a wide frame of them slowly.
Dynamic range of brightness of the object was too wide for the DSLR. Some parts were already saturated on the shortest exposure jpg image as above, though the darkest background was not saturated on 8-second exposure yet. I must learn something more to make the best of the data.
This frame, 1,260 x 840 pixels is cropped of the original, 5,760 x 3,840 pixels.
equipment: William Optics Star 71mm F4.9 and Canon EOS 5Dmk3-sp4, modified by Seo-san on iOptron ZEQ25GT
exposure: 1/8000 sec at ISO 100 while live viewing with no filter on the scope
site: 1,836.3m or 6,025 feet above sea level at 44 40 06.35 North 119 02 59.93 West near the summit of Long Creek Mountain in Oregon

"A Happy and Peaceful New Year my Flickr Friends" :)
“Of course, there will always be those who look only at technique, who ask ‘how’, while others of a more curious nature will ask ‘why’. Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information.” ~ Man Ray - 1890 ~ 1976
The sky is definitely not the limit, but you better watch your fruits there, or else the big fat bear will come and eat it right under your nose.

It was one of the last days of the Republic when inside the Galaxies Opera House on Coruscant, during a conversation that would change the course of history, Palpatine defined the Dark Side as a “pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.”
Despite all the things that have been said about the Prequel Trilogy, that line is spot on because it perfectly shows the point of view of someone who uses the Dark Side for his own agenda.
Many years have been passed since that fateful day and many things are different now.
If we look at current followers of the Dark Side we realize the classic line needs to be updated.
As I observe Kylo with his immature rage outbursts and personality disorders I’m sure the updated version of the Palpatine’s line is:
“The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some…will never learn”
For if the Tantrum Knight is the best among the current Dark Side followers the word “ability” will never be part of their vocabulary.
Just look at him: crying for Vader, smashing things with his Lightsaber, that he wasn’t even able to properly build, at the first difficulty. How can he actually learn any those abilities?
Once there were the Sith. They were evil but they had charisma.
Now there are the Knights of Ren. They are evil and nothing more.
A little parody about Kylo :)
I hope you like it :)
May the Brick be with You :)
from 20/5cm strips of arches paper wet crumpled !
it was an idea I had in mind for a while but just folding it today. some people found the snail good in my last picture so I decide to use it again, it's an easy way to fold a snail !
Learn from the past,
set vivid, detailed goals for the future,
and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now.

My fav band is the Foo Fighters so as soon as I saw the theme I knew my pic was going to be inspired by one of their tracks. Learn to Fly is one of the first tracks that got me into their stuff so it felt right to try to find something connected to the word Fly. HMM!

It has been pointed out to me recently (on a couple of occasions…!) that I don’t ever acknowledge or say thank you for the compliments I receive on my posts. And it got me thinking…
I would hope that people realise it would be futile for me to acknowledge each and every comment I receive. And hopefully it is accepted that this is a two-way thing; my recognition of the comments is to continue to post and share my story. Ultimately, as I believe I have stated before, my reason for using this forum has changed in recent years; it is wonderful to learn that so many of you draw inspiration from my journey, and I am happy to continue providing an (honest) insight into my world.
That said, it is maybe rather poor of me to not say the occasional communal ‘Thank You’ every once in a while, particularly to acknowledge those of you who clearly take time to craft a heartfelt comment or relate my experience to their own.
And so, to put right that wrong, a BIG THANK YOU to you all.
I’ll keep sharing if you keep commenting (hopefully positively!). And I’ll even try to remember to acknowledge y’all every so often. How does that sound?
Cheers everybody

Last winter, we visited Grand Teton NP, for our usual images of wildlife in the snow ... and some winter landscapes as well. We hit various types of weather from blowing blizzard-like snow to gorgeous atypically warmer sunny days. This image was from one of those. See I came across some swans that were taking a leisurely swim in the river. Alongside them were the often overlooked mallards. After some time, my eyes kept returning to the mallards, which were becoming increasingly beautiful to me. This particular one captivated my lens. I just loved the way its head would glisten in the sunrise as it would bob in and out of the water as it foraged for food. Made me realize the power of observation in that as I watched, it became more predictable as to its actions and more intriguing to me. Such a beautiful bird.
Happy Weekend everyone. Hope that you have some fun things planned.

This Hawk is one that they had on display at the Portland Oregon Zoo a few years ago... The lady was giving a lecture with him sitting on her fist... I am trying to learn how to create a painting type picture from a photograph... I see I have a long way to go... Constructive criticism would be appreciated...
