One of the old windows I came across.

Although it was falling apart, it had some colour left on it.

Also I had the bonus of the birds sitting there.

Who needs sunny weather when you can get such a sky instead.

 

Looking over Uxavatn to Skjaldbreiður. Geographically already in the Highlands although still accessible with a 2WD.

Taken Friday morning with my 'new' phone, then processed in Topaz Studio with a texture of my own. The weather went downhill shortly after this, it poured down for the rest of the the day. It doesn't seem like we'll get a proper summer this year, here in the UK. Marnie and I visit this place nearly every day if I'm short of time, as it's so close to home. She gets what she needs, familiarity and a space to roam. I get a nice view down the stream with flowers, beautiful trees and the sight and sound of trickling water.

 

You know I usually like to put music to my images, so here's something beautiful you may not have heard or seen before.

It needs just a little to fill a photograph with emotions. A small rock surrounded by woodlands where the morning fog is ascending und the sun while it is just leaving the horizon. You don't need more, at the end you need even less than that. To photograph things like that is already quite good but to whitness a moment like that is much more impressive.

 

Es bedarf nur sehr wenig um ein Bild mit Emotion zu füllen. Ein kleiner Felsen umringt von Wäldern aus denen der Morgennebel aufsteigt und die Sonne, wie sie gerade den Horizont verlässt. Mehr ist nicht nötig, am Ende braucht es sogar noch weniger. So etwas zu fotografieren hat schon was, es zu beobachten ist noch um einiges beeindruckender.

I've been meaning to try this technique for ages. Unfortunately the shutter speed needs to be a bit higher, making the iphone picture look slightly blurry.

Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.

Mahatma Gandhi

 

The world says: "You have needs -- satisfy them. You have as much right as the rich and the mighty. Don't hesitate to satisfy your needs; indeed, expand your needs and demand more." This is the worldly doctrine of today. And they believe that this is freedom. The result for the rich is isolation and suicide, for the poor, envy and murder.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

 

He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

A woman walked down to the shore of the green space with her dog, off leash. The dog proceeded to run out after this egret, causing it to relocate. She tried calling it back, but it would have nothing to do with her. She needs to use that leash, as required by law!!! First comment is moments before, as the dog charges...

Apparently there was too much trash on this property for the Junk Yard Dog. He ran off after seeing the squalor he would be forced to live in. This house is abandoned even though it’s condition doesn’t look too bad from the outside. There is the obligatory refrigerator on the porch. It still needs a sofa on the porch before it can be declared a Class A Historic Junk Yard Landmark. You will note that there are several trailers, a tractor, two boats and a camper. More than enough to label it as a Class B Landmark.

This is the last property off this rural road. This dirt driveway is private property, so I’d like to know where the power lines are going. HTT

Human health is the global and most important issue that needs to be considered!.

SHOULD SOME SPORTS ACTIVITIES REOPEN? (maybe some)

Some people and authorities start thinking and even proposing this issue!.

If so what the social distance it could be?

梦见是在下雨天里的对话

Landgoed Hoenderdaell is een dierentuin en natuurpark in Anna Paulowna.

Just occasionally I get tempted to join in, but I always resist. If you use other social media and photography is your thing, chances are you get adverts from editing software providers, regardless of the fact that you're already a paying customer, telling you all about the latest sky replacement tools and the facility to squeeze as many real life unicorns as you can sensibly into your images. I can't help but stop and read the comments sometimes, and am always intrigued by the ones who profess to be completely against editing of any type whatsoever. Among them I'll find the sage counsel of the genius who states there's no need at all, because they always take their photographs correctly in the first place. Do they never get dust spots on their sensors or specks on their lenses? They're obviously far cleverer than I am, so I don't ask them how they manage to avoid low light noise with the ISO rammed up to twenty gazillion, or how they pull back the shadows and drop the highlights, or how they reduce the saturation that cameras often seem to add of their own accord. I'm still not sure how they manage to get a shot looking reasonably in focus throughout the scene at longer focal lengths either. But it seems they can. I just can't be dealing with the plaudits from one side and the vaguely focussed vitriol from the other, as they accuse me of adding too many unicorns under my replacement sky. The conversation is often heated as responses get shorter and shorter, often just reduced to a couple of short words, one of which is unrepeatable. I often wonder whether the "Be Kind" movement needs to intervene at such moments. So I scroll past and look at other peoples' photos instead, with and without unicorns. I tend to prefer the ones without the unicorns, but that's just me. When Topaz put up an advert for their wares, the posturing gets even more intense, even over the utility suite programmes that are only there to enhance file sizes for heavy crops and reduce noise or sharpen blurs.

 

So yes I admit it. I've never been tempted by the replacement sky option, and I'm studiously avoiding the new "add unicorn" button in Photoshop, but I do edit my raw files. Call me Mr Manipulator if you like, but if such luminaries as Mads, Nigel, Gavin and all the rest of them do, then why on earth wouldn't I? And until cameras are able to see what the human eye does instead of averaging everything out, I don't think there's any other option when you shoot into those big dynamic range scenes. Mostly I blunder through, slowly accumulating half an idea of what I'm supposed to be doing, and gradually I'm getting the hang of how it all works - often with the help of those YouTube gurus who've unknowingly dragged me through the process. Maybe I've learned about two percent of what Photoshop does now. The other ninety-eight could take several lifetimes.

 

But here's the thing - this shot, taken at sunset on that blustery bluff above Hay on Wye has been barely touched. All I did was crop it to this aspect ratio and slightly twiddle the white balance before frowning briefly and concluding nothing further was needed. Not even a unicorn or two. Those hazy hilly layers before the setting sun spoke for themselves, or so I felt.

 

What about you? Unicorns or not unicorns? Nobody judges you here.
