Maximize all the pleasure
When I go out photographing the night sky I always set up two cameras. I want to maximize my time when I'm out there so I try to find two compositions that are different enough to count as two separate images.
Unfortunately I couldn't see the Chama river from where I positioned myself. There were some steep cliffs that I was not prepared to navigate, particularly in the dark. Maybe next time I'll find a different vantage point but for now this will have to do.
It can get somewhat spooky out there in the dark of night and even though I wasn't too far from the road, I do get thoughts of bears and mountain lions.

Dizengoff Tower is a brutalist residential high-rise building built in 1985 in Tel Aviv as an addition to Dizengoff Center shopping mall. Designed by Morechai Ben Horin, the tower is 116 m tall. The architect wanted to maximize the perimeter of the building and allow each apartment to have a view in two directions, hence the zig-zags of its facade.

Thank you for commenting, favoring and visiting me on this N°311 position in today's Explore celebrating patterns! (May 28, 2025) ... proud and happy to have been selected amongst all these other great photos today
As far as I can tell, sea otters have a well-refined process for eating crabs: (1) eat the legs first, so it can't run away (2) snap off and eat the claws second, so they won't pinch your face (3) pop off the carapace to eat all the insides and (4) rinse and repeat with new crabs until naptime.

A very unique design that I had never seen before, a dual face searchlight that has all of the heads at different levels, despite direction they face. Still displaying a clear indication for CSX Q328, the train hustles through Grand Ledge, MI. as they prepare to stop and work Ensel Yard in Lansing before continuing east.
Emil Ferris is one of those humans who you can just sense their utter brilliance. I literally think it's an amazing gift to share the same respiratory space with such an amazing human. I was thrilled to be able to speak to Emil after the Q and A following The Music Box Theater's documentary of Art Spiegelman entitled Disaster is My Muse (This should be available on PBS in the upcoming months according to the director)
I was telling Emil Ferris about this nonfiction book I was reading called Beyond Anxiety by Martha Beck, who speaks about how a creativity cycle can disrupt an anxiety cycle. I think many of us artists in this current political climate are feeling increasingly restless and hopeless. Channeling that into art is a good idea at this time.
In any case, this is a great film and Emil Ferris's My Favorite Thing is Monsters (Book 1 and 2) is absolutely phenomenal. Highly recommended!
In these current times, the monsters are humans who have been given absolute power to enforce their wills and desires on all. Every day is a new horror and destruction of human rights. Some will try to counter this by praying ceaselessly. Others, like myself, will continue to maximize their time on Earth by doing art every spare moment. It is perhaps the only way to cope with the madness of reality and maybe enough of us could create a new world out of the embers left.

Maximize The Trip. On January 20, 2022, Amtrak 100 (P42DC, 50th Anniversary, Midnight Blue) brought Amtrak Train 43 (Pennsylvanian)/Norfolk Southern Corp 07T across the Susquehanna River over the Rockville Bridge in Marysville, Pennsylvanian. Both AMTK 100 and 108 had been operating on this route that week, bringing a lot of photographers trackside. Amtrak has added its 50th Anniversary logo to 7 locomotives in its fleet. A visit to the Bridgeview Bed & Breakfast was a great venue to capture the scene.

I love these windows angled in such a way as to benefit from morning and evening sunlight. Located in Richmond Centre, BC.

I attempted to catch the dress in the wind, maximizing the subject's area.
I noticed a dust spot as I'm writing this description much to my chagrin.
A shot above Manhattan's Times Square at Night. Many combined exposures were used to maximize tonal range and detail. Moving electronic billboards were added individually, as their motion needed a still capture.

When a turkey vulture spreads its wings in the "horaltic pose," it is primarily to warm its body on cold mornings, to dry its feathers after rain or a messy meal, and to expose feathers to sunlight to help control parasites like lice. Turkey vultures lower their body temperature at night to conserve energy and need to warm up to fly again, with the spread wings maximizing solar energy absorption.
Excerpt from oakville.ca:
Tannery Hill Beacon: Phase 2 of the Oakville Harbour redevelopment includes a pedestrian observation platform with seating, a sculptural beacon, new and reconstructed walkways, picnic area, interpretive signs, new lighting, slope naturalization plantings and restoration.
The main focus of the redevelopment is the observation platform and sculptural beacon, which are located atop "Tannery Hill", a man-made landform constructed with fill material between 1960 and 1970. The intent of the design is to provide a landmark walkway and seating to facilitate views of Lake Ontario and the Oakville Harbour throughout the year during all weather conditions. The observation platform is overhanging the existing slope to exaggerate the vantage elevation at the top of the hill and to maximize views to the lake and Sixteen Mile Creek. The beacon is a representation of "land and water", integrating compass direction and patterning of sun reflections on water ripples.

Digital bodypainting...why not? ;) I respected the silouette..so didn´t add anything else. just painted on her body to maximize the effect..

Breeders of the cattle were mostly small farmers whose goal was to maximize income from their small area of land. For this reason, the Maine-Anjou evolved as a dual-purpose breed, with the cows used for milk production and the bull calves fed for market. It is still common on many farms to find Maine-Anjou being milked. In many herds, half the cows are milked and the other half raise two calves each.
The Maine-Anjou is one of the larger breeds developed in France, with mature bulls weighing from 2,200 to 3,100 pounds on the average. Mature cows will range from 1,500 to 1,900 pounds. The coloring is very dark red with white markings on the head, belly, and rear legs and tail. White on other parts of the body is also common.
Modern day Maine-Anjou are more solid in color pattern than their ancestors with a large percentage of registered American Maine-Anjou cattle being black in color. The Maine-Anjou breed excels in performance/feed efficiency, disposition and superb carcass traits. Dominance of feeding trials coupled with favorable returns on dollars invested have made Maine-Anjou cattle a feedlot manager's dream.
I took this photo early this morning during my balloon flight in Temecula. I think the sky and photo and conditions were totally spectacular; I'm so thrilled I captured this, Thanks for all your comments and raves!
I used a polorizing filter and the sun was at the pefect angle both horizontaly and vertically to maximize the polorization (at least that is my theory, seriously) So that has a lot to do with why this turned out so golorious. Also. . .
This was just after a storm so the dust and dirt was all cleared out of the sky, the snow was VERY fresh, we are at the peak of southern CA lushness of vegatation, greenery etc. So all of these things are about what made this photo so vibrant. (The photo was glorious right out of the camera and needed very little processing.)
Also contributing to the making of this photo: I would call it "the glisten factor" (like sparkle, gleam, shine, etc.) Especially because of recent rains, it just got done raining hours before the flight; an average pilot would not push the limit and fly right after a storm.
As a matter of fact, I almost did not get the balloon off the ground this morning, the fabric laid over on a light pole and ripped a little bit at the launch. . . I had 10 paying passengers onboard. . . So we REALLY wanted to fly; other balloons were trying to inflate but they just quit and gave it up.
So hopefully all this description helps explain how I got this photo: It boils down to the fact that. . . unlike the average photographer. . . I am totally willing to do what ever it takes to get the shot. And that is one thing that sets me apart.
Gorgeous autumn colours and blue sky refelcted in the pond of the Japanese Garden at Lauriston Castle, near Edinburgh, Scotland to make an abstract pattern (almost like a stained glass window).
I needed to set the circular polarizer to maximize the reflections from the water.
22 March 2021: The number of new infections continue to soar. In the week to 18 March 3867 people tested positive. The figure is up 41% on the week. Some experts are saying that we relaxed the measures to curb the spread of the virus far too quickly at a high level of an average of 2,000 to 3,000 new infections per day. They claim that these infections became a smouldering fire that is now rekindling and are advocating a new lockdown, a real one, where no one goes to work and where schools close. Others, however, are not sure if a complete lockdown is necessary. They are arguing to keep the schools open but to maximize efforts in all sectors and situations around them. Whatever politicians will finally decide it’s becoming crystal clear that extra measures will be needed to get the pandemic back under control. On display today is a vignette of Grand Square of Kortrijk in the midst of this unprecedented health crisis – Kortrijk, Belgium.
I know I am going crazy for this minimalism when it comes to the maximum strength?
This stalk is less than 1 cm long and it has four drops on it i.e. two more than the last one. I was thinking it may not be as minimalistic as the last one? :o)
The meaning of minimalism is the meaninglessness and emptiness ….
Have a great Friday and great weekend! We will have rain through the days!

Since the birth of our daughter one year ago my time trackside has been limited to a a few short hours in the month. With sunny skies finally in the forecast, I stole a couple of hours after work to intercept westbound A411 near Lamont Alberta. With a short train behind the single SD75I, A 411's crew will make it into Edmonton in good time, while I head for home after making the most out of the short time I had on this fall evening.
The leaf is the original solar panel. I photographed this fern frond through the underside of a fan palm to illustrate the different space-filling models plants have evolved to maximize their photosynthetic capacity; both the fractal pattern of the fern and the pleated sheets of the fan palm are mathematically efficient arrangements for harvesting light energy to manufacture sugar. Photosynthesis is beautiful.
