“It is entirely possible that behind the perception of our senses, worlds are hidden of which we are unaware.” ~Albert Einstein
finally, a decent photo with my 450d. It focus' really well, and great dof.

Photographers at the Olympus photographic playground in Amsterdam. The light source creates a shadow on the screen which is between me and the photographer. Through the shadow another photographer and his subject is visible.
At first sight the shadow looks more real than the person that creates the shadow :).
For me this image serves as a modern illustration of Plato's cave allegory and the perception of the freed philosopher. The philosopher can see through the shadows the reality. The image illustrates for me also that images can have different layers of interpretation.
Cave allegory from Wikipedia:
Plato has Socrates describe a gathering of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall from things passing in front of a fire behind them, and they begin to give names to these shadows. The shadows are as close as the prisoners get to viewing reality. He then explains how the philosopher is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall do not make up reality at all, for he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the mere shadows seen by the prisoners. ...This allegory fascinated me already as a child.
There are things known
and there are things unknown
and in between are
the door of perception
– A. Huxley
In the perception of a tree we can distinguish the act of experiencing, or perceiving, from the thing experienced, or perceived.
I once regarded the ouija board as a novelty item; a harmless parlor game. That was until I participated in a session several years ago; my my first and last experience. Just a few minutes in I felt overwhelmed by a sense of utter sadness, mournful in its depth and tears started flowing down my cheeks. I have no idea what we tapped into that day, but I recognized immediately that I would be the conduit for any type of otherworldly contacts. Perhaps the spirit world found I was tuned to the right frequency, or simply more apt to believe in such things. The experience rattled me and thought it was just a few minutes, it has stayed with me ever since. I love the thought of a spirt world, but don't feel the need to make contact. I also don't think the ouija board itself possesses any sort of magic properties. A simple pasteboard and plastic widget aren't able to open a door to the other side. I think it has more to do with the act of concentration that goes with the game...a group of people all intent on making a spiritual contact...perhaps that is the key. Success may vary, and perhaps that has to do with the pretense (or absence) os someone like me. Underlying this is the thought that if contact is possible, then the spirits must exist; probably all around us, just waiting for an opportunity to bridge the abyss between their world and ours. In my imagination it's simply a matter of tuning into the proper frequency. My thoughts often tilt this way near cornfields. There's an eeriness to these places. The sheer expansiveness should make it less frightening yet it has the opposite effect on me. No telling what's out there. And the constant rustling sound of dried leaves only ratchets up the low-level anxiety. It's difficult to overcome the sensation of being watched.

I often like to think about our place in the universe... and scale... and relativity. For all we know, this big honking Earth of ours... teeming with what we know as lifeforms... is merely a molecule in some other, much larger structure.
Could be. After all, the microscopic view reveals entire worlds and civlizations invisible to our unaided eyes. And even a macro lens gives us a whole different perspective on size and scale.
And since I'm too tired to write today, I'll just repeat some doggerel I created as a kid, which basically says the same kind of thing (and suggests that I have changed very little in the past 30-plus years):
To a flea it's a four-lane highway
To an ant it's a mountain pass
To a cow it's plain delicious
To me it's a piece of grass.
(P.S. This is my first photo taken with my first-ever macro lens, which Husband Mike bestowed upon me for the big Four-Oh.)
Camera movement in the bluebell woods. I figured out that I get a much smoother movement if I keep the camera close to my face rather than holding it a little further away.
I took this shot at the Salford Quays watersports centre, these canoes were stacked up and looked interesting, and the name perception intrigued me too.

Finally out Light Painting again! thanks to Lucia for the help!
(multi long exposure light painting)
This is my by far my favorite style of photography, long twilight exposures.
Im on a run of lackluster sunsets, but today i was determined to go home with a shot. After seeing the result I need to get out more when its rubbish.
wind was blowing a gale, I could literally see the camera wobbling.
Somehow managed a sharp image. to do with the law of averages I assume.
just switched to lightroom 4 and cant find where they hide the photo info menu, anyway.
approx 8 min, lights turned on for last 3min (lucky touch)

In this photo, does the railing of the staircase appear perfectly straight, or does it deform into an undulation, like a wave, as soon as you look at it? Is what we perceive, as individuals, objective reality, or just a subjective interpretation of it? Between different people, do we share the same vision of the world around us, or are our perceptions shaped by our unique experiences? In short, aren't there as many realities as there are individuals? Couldn't we say that the world is, in the final analysis, only what we choose to see in it?
Sur cette photo, le garde-corps de l’escalier semble-t-il parfaitement droit, ou se déforme-t-il en une ondulation, comme une vague, dès que votre regard se pose dessus ? Ce que nous percevons, en tant qu'individus, est-il la réalité objective, ou n’est-ce qu’une interprétation subjective de celle-ci ? Entre différentes personnes, partageons-nous la même vision du monde qui nous entoure, ou nos perceptions sont-elles façonnées par nos expériences uniques ? En somme, n’existe-t-il pas autant de réalités qu’il y a d’individus ? Ne pourrait-on pas affirmer que le monde n’est, en définitive, que ce que nous choisissons d’y voir ?
I always try to catch the light and the moment. It`s like dancing Tango Argentino: A passion!
Saturday I danced with the light and this shot is the fusion!

A different take for me on Durdle Door, which recently won a 'One Thing This Month' competition in Outdoor Photography (and a new backpack from the lovely people there.) I locked down the camera settings and focus, attached a LEE Big Stopper and ran in and out of the water on a cold winter's day. Back home I blended the best five exposures. It's also one of my LPOTY rejects this year; had two that made the shortlist but no further. Thanks for looking.
This time of the year is high season for drunk driving. People attending Christmas parties and driving (more or less) drunk home.
Luckily this is no longer an acceptable behaviour compared to 10 or 20 years ago where "just drive carefully" was the motto.
We seems to forget that alcohol influence on our perception, so we can not judge how to drive a car. And when not to try at all.
