What did I get myself into, shooting the bridge Joel Tjintjelaar practically "owns" since he shot his mindblowing series of this very same landmark? And to make matters even more intimidating another photographer I highly admire, p i c a, recently showed us her own stunning take on this beautiful Dutch bridge.
I don't consider myself to be in their league at all, but their wonderful work does inspire me every day.
So here's my spin: a colour version. Scary...
Looks way better on black, so press L on your keyboard. Flickr kills this photo completely, because on my screen it is brighter and more vivid.
Daytime long exposure of 180 seconds, shot while using a B+W ND110 filter, f/22, ISO 100. Photoshop CS4.

Best thing about this photo:
While I was taking it, the phone rang.
At the time, I was miffed. Because a) I was trying to avoid dealing with work right then b) I was sure it was a client and c) I had just moved a big wooden table and chairs out of my way and... being lazy... had just pushed them up against the door... effectively barricading myself out of the house.
And yeah. So, the phone rang.
I halfway pulled the stuff away from the door, and halfway scrambled over. Got to the phone all breathless and cranky and prepared to deflect some kind of work-related thing... and the voice on the phone said, "It's Stanley."
"Stanley?" I thought. "I don't know any Stanley."
And then he said Why Not Studios. And I realized... I was talking to a Flickr friend from waaay across the country!
Neato! Especially so that he called while I was shooting!
He and his beloved are coming out this way in a few weeks, and Mike and I are looking forward to having them over for dinner. And I'm gonna try to get Stanley out shooting. Somewhere interesting. Hmmm.
Thanks Flickr!
Lots of bokeh circles float around this flower, mindblowing imho! Note the backlight on the leaves.

Not really an update, I've shown these figures all before, but given yesterday's MINDBLOWING reveal of the Lego 501st Battle Pack coming in August, I thought I'd post this for the occasion :)
AT-RT: Made this a while ago, pretty tiny walker thing. I know a Clone Pilot isn't supposed to be on there, but I don't have an AT-RT driver minifigure. When the 501st set comes out, I hope to add some blue colors on this walker.
The rest of pretty self-explanatory. My faves out of the bunch are still Anakin and Rex, and they're my favorite characters in the Clone Wars TV show as well.
As for my thoughts about the 501st Legion "Battle Pack", I think the set looks nice. The 501st troopers look kinda wack imo, the blue markings on the torso look really fat, and I'm not a fan of the mouth on the helmet and the light gray shading on the sides. I think it'll take some getting used to--I honestly wish Lego went with their 2014 realistic clone designs like the ones on the 212th clone boys. However, I'm still really grateful that Lego made the set in the first place, and it's a first-day purchase for me!
What do you guys think of the 501st set or these figures? Comments are, as always, very much appreciated! :)
Oh also, suupeer close to 400 followers!! Eeeek :D

I had the mindblowing experience of working with the ever so talented Hudson Leick this weekend.
If you don't know who Hudson is, she is an actress/yoga teacher. The role she is most known for is Callisto in Xena.
If you would have told me 13 year old self that one day I would produce this image, I would have wet myself.

I have posted a similar image earlier. The processing is different here.
Panorama of 9 exposures stitched in PS CS4. Color enhancement, like in my previous upload, by adding a gradient map layer with lower color red and high color yellow. This creates a nice red/orange look.

This photo was taken at incredibly beautiful and overwhelming place - Praia da Ursa (Ursa Beach). The rocks, the waves and the wind make for a mindblowing spectacle. It is considered the most beautiful beach of Portugal and one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. This picture was taken with the strongest sunset light just before the sun has disappeared for that day.

This is my first Milky Way Panorama of the Year. After all Plans were cancelled in 2020 I somehow found my way to the Canary Islands in August to explore the Teide National Park at Tenerife with my brandnew second hand h-alpha astromod Nikon D800. So despite all the struggle I still got some precious nights under a mindblowing sky

You know that meme picture with Jackie Chan holding his hands closely over his head which symbolizes "Mind Blown"?
That's what I think of when I see this shot of a female German scorpionfly (Panorpa germanica).
That's the name of the species, German scorpionfly, it's not a scorpionfly in Germany.
Also notice the bright red little mite on the "shoulder" of the scorpionfly.
Two more shots of the same specimen here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/51547274810/
Straight from the camera.
Taken on an amazing shooting trip with Hannu Huhtamo and Lauri Lauren. Truly mindblowing experience to go to a nearby rock cliff by rowing boat in a dark lake surrounded by mist!
As a follow up to my MNU Technical, I figured I needed the Prawn suit to get in a fight with it!
Mondayn00dle put up a huge challenge to all builders building these suits when he posted his mindblowing version of the exo-skeleton
So I was slightly hesitant about building one and trying to follow up what is pretty much the perfect Prawn suit...
Features full leg and arm articulation, and has the ability to fit one scruffy looking Wikus van de Merwe.
Check out the opened cockpit here!
We are looking for a party trick for Sophie to do at the puppy class christmas party, if anyone has any suggestions that we can learn to do within the next 2 months, we'd both be very grateful. Currently we are working on 'Paw' which i'll admit isn't mindblowing but i have a very stubborn but intelligent dog whos general attitude is 'if you've got a biscuit just give it me, i know your gonna anyway'!!
Long exposure painstaking OCD light work executed with the invaluable assistance of James Bear.
222 second 10.5mm fisheye, ISO 200 and switched focus mid exposure.
From the archives. One of my favorite subjects, a tower nicknamed The Binoculars.
B+W ND110 filter, ISO 100, f/22, 30 second exposure. Photoshop CS4 and Silver Efex Pro.
I took this during a shoot with Joel Tjintjelaar. Check out his mindblowing stream.

I find this absolutely mindblowing: nature created this with just the wind & the rain! They look like apartments to me. Can you imagine birds and lizards living here? They have their own compartmented space haha. =)
Seconds after the previously uploaded shot, breaks in the clouds appeared and let the sun shine through - resulting in my first proper experience of a Brocken spectre. Pretty mindblowing!
An astounding place, the photo does little to show the real mindblowing experience

The Ugly Duckling is a research ship intended to explore the distant corners of the galaxy in search of new habitable planets. It got its name after the Earth government failed to learn from an incident involving a boat in the early 21st century, and held a contest on the galactic network to name the ship. Ugly Duckling won, and considering it karma, the Earth government honored the contest results.
One of my most favorite albums from the time - so innovative and daring - this mindblowing tune is from it: 'Scream in Blue' - Midnight Oil.
"I dream in blue..."
Also, the We're Here! folks are visiting the Experiment in Lighting group today... not quite an experiment, I guess but, what the heck!

Thanks everyone, this one got a Front page on May 29, 2010!
This is the still unfinished Rabotoren in Utrecht, The Netherlands, nicknamed 'the binoculars' because of its shape. I've shot this tower before (see earlier work) and I think I'll shoot it many more times because it is so intriguing. A grand piece of architecture.
I took this during a shoot with Joel Tjintjelaar. Check out his mindblowing stream.

The other day, my boss was looking at my photography and mentioned that my photo "Reaching for the Water" reminded him of one of his favorite places in our general area. He claimed that it was as gorgeous as Rocky Mountain National Park, but with almost no people. When I got home, I did a lot of searching to find photos of the area, but all of them seemed to be shot with 7 year old point and shoots at midday. Determined to be one of the first with good quality photos, I decided to check it out today and plan for a future sunrise/sunset trip. After scoping it out, I can absolutely back up his claims...
Of the probably 100+ lakes in the area, this was amazingly one of the least interesting I came across. I typically wouldn't post a shot from one of my scoping trips (in fact, I usually don't even take any pictures on them), but I am just so psyched to go there again that I will anyway.
Weather permitting, I will be heading up very, very early on Monday to shoot the sunrise at the most mindblowing of the locations I visited today. Stay tuned! UPDATE: Weather permitting failed as there isn't supposed to be a cloud in the sky all day. Wednesday it is.
Shot with my Sigma 10-20mm @ around 11mm and new B+W ND110 to try to compensate for the boring, nearly midday sky.
Such an intense geomagnetic storm had not happened in the past 20 years!
What a rare phenomenon!
During the night of May 10 to 11 2024, next to the city of Aix-en-Provence in the South of France (Marseille area), a mindblowing show of aurora enlighted the sky with never-before-seen colors!
The colors of this panoramic view were neither modified nor amplified from the original raw images. The blue color you see is then entirely natural and shows one of the rarest aurorae, produced by ionized nitrogen getting excited by solar UV light, which still hit particles high enough in the atmosphere.
This picture is thus very emotional to me since it recalls the first time I have ever seen northern lights to the naked eye, in my entire life!
By chance that night, I had planned to sleep atop the famous summit of Aix-en-Provence's region called the "Sainte-Victoire" mountain, at 1,011 meters altitude, in order to stargaze and observe the milky way with a friend.
However, when we were having dinner at 10:15 PM facing north horizon, we stared at the sky for several seconds speechlees, realizing that the easy-to-see pinkish glow with vertical patterns was indeed this potentially historic aurora storm starting!

Between work overload and the government shutting down Bombay Hook, I haven't shot in a month. In spite of the weather forecast of mostly cloudy this morning, I was going.....I didn't care if I just sat out there. Well....this is what I got. Mindblowing.
Major Maciej "Slab" Krakowian tragically lost his life today after crash while his rehearsal for upcoming Radom Airshow 2025.
RIP and Blue Skies, Sir - your display was always mindblowing!
Sincerely condolences to his family, close friends, his display team, all Polish Air Force staff and to all military Planespotters, especially the Polish ones.
This pic was taken by me with him in cockpit while his flying display at NATO Days Ostrava 2023.
