If you look for perfection, you'll never be content

[Leo Tolstoy]

 

A female beautiful demoiselle - one of the most beautiful dragonflies I know. There are less of them compared to the last years. Hopefully this will change again...

I don't know when I've seen a prettier day at the inlet than the day I took this photo. The clouds were so low it was almost as if you could reach out and touch them! Everything was perfect, from the color of the water to the color of the sky, and the wonderful shadows that hit the walkway as I sized up the shot just added to it all.

 

I used an HDR and Orton treatment in post processing to pull up more detail and color, and took out some of the gold tones that were on the walkway to create a little more color contrast.

 

I'm up late thanks to sleeping in something like 15 hours last night. My good intentions were to sleep and sleep, so I could get well faster, but my body just wouldn't stay in zombie mode to cooperate, so here it is after 3 AM and I'm just about to hit the hay! I do feel a lot better after getting all that rest, and I thank everyone who prayed for me and sent me good thoughts! I see light at the end of the tunnel. Now, to sleep again....Good night!

Big thanks to my buddy Ken Shults (owlpurist). Ken is one of the premier owl photographers in North America and also one of the most knowledgable guys I've ever met. If you do not follow him yet, do yourself a favor and check his feed and give him a follow.

 

This trip to visit Ken was an experience I will never forget. Finally seeing this majestic species in front of me was one of those "holy shit" moments.

 

Wild Great Gray, always un-baited and in natural light.

In Kandersteg one would hardly know that the BLS Re 4/4s in their 11th hour. Every 20 minutes or so a train shuttles back and forth through the tunnel into Kandersteg. There are only a few shots available to photograph the trains and only in the very early morning in the summer, but within these constraints there are certainly some nice shots to be had.

Nature creates so amazing stuff, it's beyond belief. You will never find a perfection there, yet everything is perfect. It is relaxed perfection without tension, something I would like to have in my life. So far, all I have is the tension...

So often I see Camellia flowers and they are not quite open, or weather bruised, or their petals are falling to the ground but this one seemed to be caught at just the right moment - a most perfectly shaped camellia I thought!

Perfection de la beauté sans fard d'un Grèbe huppé...

Perfection de l'attitude toute simple...

Perfection du dépouillement de cette photographie qui se résume à l'essentiel...L'ambiance éthérée de son bokeh...

 

Ma meilleure photo de Juliette...

 

Heuh , non ! Je n'ai pas chopé la grosse tête , je suis généralement le plus critique envers mes propres images....Simplement j'aime cette photo , je pense être capable de juger un très bon cliché , et accessoirement je trouve que la fausse modestie n'est qu'une forme de vantardise...

If there was such a thing as perfection it would be very bland - don't you think? Its the flaw that's interesting.............

 

Chinese Lantern (Physalis alkekengi) aka Cape Gooseberry - known as the Golden Flower in Chinese medicine. Said to cure liver problems, send you to sleep or work as an antiseptic.

I was so amazed at the perfect details in this milkweed pod. Some of the weeds already had the fluff blowing in the wind as you can see from a previous pic that I posted.

I wish everyone a good week and I will try to get back to normal and start commenting on your wonderful pics!!

Thanks so much for your visits!!

A quartet of new Santa Fe SD75Ms had an eastbound intermodal well in hand as they crossed the Mississippi River in 1995.

 

By far one of the best paint schemes ever applied to a locomotive, the Superfleet colors of the Santa Fe were looking fantastic.

 

If only BNSF never happened.

Hi, Me again...

 

In April 2021, I received my first 35mm as a gift from a fellow photography enthusiast. I seriously had no idea what I was doing but I immeditely knew I enjoyed it. The sound alone was enough to give me shivers!! Since then, I have shot a few rolls of film, find myself in possession of 5 new cameras, managed to process 2 rolls at home, 'scan', and now I'm ready to put them out there.

 

I don't ever profess to be a perfect photographer. If fact, I'm usually incredibly insecure. Digital photography always had me seeking perfection. It is silly because life isn't perfect, but regardless, I feared things like proper exposure and unconventional subjects. (Yes....insert eye roll here!)

 

The thing about film though, it has given me freedom it be imperfect, appreciate 'flaws' and embrace everyday life in an authentic and unpolished way. Film has given me permission to love the imperfect and see it for all its beauty. Also, the fact that my hands are on it from start to finish....well that... that alone gives me immense satisfaction.

 

So.....I'm saying be ready for the perfectly imperfect. And just to prove it...I resisted the urge to edit out my chicken pox scars. :-) I'm going to be brave and start sharing what I've been working on and what I love.

 

Here goes....
