Operator 9 is on the line.

Two Bowens Esprit 500 W/S monolights--PC sync to the key light with the fill slave automatically triggered upon fire. On the left of the phone, at about an 8 o'clock angle, I shot through a white umbrella which was about the same level as the subject. The second (fill) light was higher up and maybe 6 feet away at a 5 o'clock angle, shooting into an umbrella facing a wall. The fill bounce off the wall diffused it pretty well overall and allowed me to bring out the gross, vintage-looking, olive-green background a bit more. I still have no idea what I'm doing, but I like the results of this experiment.

The Brecon to Abergavenny canal.

The canal which connects Brecon with the Monmouthshire Canal, some 33 miles [53km] to the south east, was built between 1793 and 1812. The canal is now an attractive waterway for pleasure boats, but it was once a very important way of carrying heavy and bulky goods for industry and agriculture.

Red Wattlebird (Anthochaera carunculata) juvenile

The first of the Wattlebird chicks to leave the nest. We have three nests in different trees.

This one was hopping from branch to branch while Mum was bringing food for it and at least one more in the nest. It finally stopped on a branch that gave me an almost clear shot.

The buoys for navigation have such a varied appearance. Sometimes they appear as bizarre as in this case.

Die Bojen für die Schifffahrt haben solch unterschiedliches Aussehen. Manchmal erscheinen sie so bizarr wie in diesem Fall.

There are sailing ships that pass all our bodies in the grass …

There are names across the sea, only now I do believe … “

PASSING AFTERNOON by IRON and WINE

ENDLESS NUMBERED DAYS

Sea foam, sea glass

seashells, treasures

collecting driftwood

at our leisure

pebbles, stones

Mother of Pearl

amber nuggets

memories whirl

moonlight, sunshine

bare-foot walks

paddle, swim and

endless talk

smiles and laughter

escapades

secrets kept and

a promise made

waves and cries

of seabirds high

fishing boats

left high and dry

row of huts

and two, nine, seven

find the key

to seventh heaven …

Last nigh drving back, I tought that I would do a little stop at the wind mill park to see the stars. The roads are bad to get there, I should only go with truck not car...anyway I enjoy and found a nice little spot. So here is Windmill #66 vs milky way.

I think my shutter was bit too long(30sec) the stars are trailling just a bit.
