Inspired by Jan Kaila and LOTR << if anyone can tell me which movie and scene, you are legitimately awesome. :)
I've been wanting to take this for so long. I'm glad it worked out the way I had hoped (rare occurrence). In saying that, I believe I've just flickr-cursed this picture since the photos I like are not liked on here, and vice versa. Oh well.

This was definitely a feat to overcome with this image, I'm going to post an original untouched version in the comments to show you what I had to work with, maybe I'll even create a blog post about it.
Anyway I had the idea in my head and in the spur of the moment I asked my friend Scott to be my hand model and had him posing his hands around all the trees, no hands were copy and pasted!
The original photo had too many distracting elements in it, the bright sky coming through the trees, the color of the trees were too bright compared to the hands, making the hands not pop out as much to the viewer. I played around with this image a lot and yesterday lost 8 hours of time on it due to my stupidity and accidentally deleting everything I had done on it yesterday so I took it in a new direction and added a red tone to the original green flora, added texture to the trees, and darkened the entire image so that the hands were the story. It also looks really awesome in Black and White which I'll post another time. Enjoy!
This colourful nudi has to be pretty dedicated to get up on top of the grey soft coral (Capnella sp.) at Bare Island... perhaps it's feeding on it, or maybe just trying to get to the other side. Why DID the nudibranch cross the coral???

NO, this one isn't from the new camera, uploading an oldie as I have not processed anything from the 7D... tomorrow I will, I promise!!

Photography’s new conscience
Beauty is the reflection within oneself. What does it say to you.
Am I jumping, elated, joyful.
Or hanging, miserable and overcome.
Yes, I did use my Orion crewmember to overcome the guys who had the ship locked down. I can't help she was commando under the spacesuit...
It is a dangerous world out there, but we can overcome the dangers if we just overcome that which divides us.

that is real fog, i did nothing to the photo to make it more foggy
i photographed this woman as she was interviewed. she's the manager of a local women's shelter. she spoke boldly about the 18 months she suffered as a victim of
domestic abuse. she seemed pretty unfazed as she spoke in general terms about having to escape for fear of her son's life and her own.
then i noticed a scar on her neck.
she apologized at the end of the interview for not going into more specific details, and then her chin started to quiver and she started crying. she cried because she said talking about the abuse doesn't bother her, but having her new husband hear about it and suffer upsets her.
brave, brave woman.

One overcome microadventure in the constant stream of experiences which make a typical day in the office of a Transcontinental ride: my J.Guillem Orient on the other side of this very picturesque rope bridge. In the fields. Over a quite wide river. Making my way to the Transfăgărășan road.

Almost midnight. After a few hours of walking the capital, yet more steps awaited. Huffing and puffing enough to scare away the local wildlife, we made it up to Calton Hill.
A windy, cold and occasionally wet evening meant that only us and a couple of other people were up on the hill. Without a torch, it was difficult to see, even with the local light pollution. This made me slightly nervous. I wouldn't walk through my local town park at night because of the crime... yet here I was in a capital city doing just that. Gulp.

Included in a lot of unwanted lenses given to me by a friend was this 135mm f/3.5 MC Tele-Rokkor-QD lens, shown here with my home-made Nikon / Minolta adapter. Having adapted an old Isco Tele-Westanar 135mm pre-set lens for use on my Nikon D40 and D60 with great results, I decided to see if I could do the same with this lens.
The first problem to overcome was how to get a Minolta mount lens to fit on a Nikon body. An old Nikon / T-mount adapter got me halfway to my goal. My junk lens / body mount drawer provided a mount salvaged from an old Minolta tele-converter. With a bit of filing followed by careful press fitting in a vise, I was able to fit the Nikon and Minolta parts together. Some black plastic electrical tape was used to cover several holes that would have caused light leaks. Using this home-made adapter results in the loss of infinity focus... not a problem for close-up photography.
The second problem was something I hadn't thought of. I wanted to use this lens for macro shooting where focusing is critical. Hand-holding makes stop-down shooting difficult where you need the aperture open wide to focus accurately, then stop down to the taking aperture to get the shot. Because the lens wasn't mounted on a Minolta body, no aperture coupling lever linkage was available. I had planned to use the lens depth of field preview button to stop down an instant before tripping the shutter, as I do with the old Tele-Westanar with its "pre-set" button, but the Rokkor's DOF
button was inactive... the aperture remained wide open. I could stop down to focus, but accurate focusing with the resulting exceedingly dim viewfinder image became nearly impossible.
An easy solution came in the form of a tiny 1 inch long craft store clothespin. Opening the clothespin by its gripping end closes the end that you normally squeeze. Moving the Rokkor's aperture lever to the right as far as it could go allowed the pin's squeeze tabs to fit in the lever's slot. Releasing the clothespin resulted in it gently locking the aperture lever at its limit of travel. This resulted in the depth of field preview button working as it should, despite the absence of any lens / camera body linkage. The depth of the home-made adapter keeps the clothespin from protruding within the mirror box of the Nikon body. Now it's a simple matter to use the Rokkor as you would any normal pre-set lens. The aperture remains open for easy focusing, then the DOF preview button is pressed to close down to the taking aperture immediately before hitting the shutter.
Results are excellent when used for macro shooting and creating this adaptation was definitely worth the effort.
Because the adapter extends the lens out from the camera body, infinity focus isn't available. When the lens is set for infinity, the actual focus distance is 30 inches, with a field width of 5 inches. Mounting a Raynox DCR-150 with the lens still set at infinity, gives a field width of 1 inch at a lens to subject distance of 6 inches. A Raynox DCR-250 drops the field width to 5/8 inch at a distance of 3.5 inches. Reverse mounting the objective from a Cimko 75-200mm lens produces even more magnification with the field width shrinking to 1/2 inch at a working distance of 2.5 inches.

The heavy rains at the western ghats region had brought in heavy flow of water in almost all the falls in this region. All dams had attained its maximum storage capacity.It is just awesome to visit places near this area ..
