30 Days of Perception:
Grateful for grasses blowing in the evening breeze on my walk at the end of the day.

“When we are unhurried and wise, we perceive that only great and worthy things have any permanent and absolute existence, that petty fears and petty pleasures are but the shadow of the reality”
Henry David Thoreau quotes (American Essayist, Poet and Philosopher, 1817-1862)
In the perception of a tree we can distinguish the act of experiencing, or perceiving, from the thing experienced, or perceived.
“It is entirely possible that behind the perception of our senses, worlds are hidden of which we are unaware.” ~Albert Einstein
😎Dear friends! I heartily congratulate you on the New Year 2020! 🎉Last year, thanks to your support, I better recognized my strengths and weaknesses in photography! Undoubtedly, without you and your work and comments, the year would have been different! I wish you all good health and new creative successes. Sincerely, Oleg P (Listenwave Photography)📷
See video on my Chanel about this!
🌚What served as a change in perception many years ago no one will remember ... But this is not so important! It is important that the next day a new world appears! #listenwave #monotone #fineart #foveon #Фовеоныч. Фотография без поз!

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.

I live for the present always. I accept this risk. I don't deny the past, but it's a page to turn.
[] Juliette Binoche []
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.)
Movement of color and perceptions. I love to follow sunsets, chased this one for a good hour with new frames around each corner. When people or signs say stop, trying to convince you not to continue or even worse not to start in the first place, it sets of this strange urge in me to push towards the unknown, the direction they told you not to take. Do it! Looking into Christchurch from near Mount Pleasant. New Zealand
Neil DeGrasse Tyson's Unified Theory of Absurdity as imagined by Deep AI
Astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson has proposed a unified theory of absurdity in which he suggests that absurdity does not exist in the universe, but it is a product of human perception. Tyson argues that we, as humans, have a hard time accepting the nature of the universe and, therefore, we create absurdity to fill the void of our understanding.
According to Tyson, humans have a natural tendency to apply the human perspective to everything, ignoring the fact that the universe is vastly different from anything we can imagine. He notes that we often think in binary terms, such as good and evil, black and white, and life and death. However, the universe operates on a scale that we cannot comprehend, with phenomena that defy our simplistic understanding of the world.
Tyson asserts that human beings find it difficult to comprehend the nature of the universe, and we often struggle to accept its vast complexity. In our quest to understand the world around us, we create absurdity to fill the gaps in our understanding. For example, we often assign meaning to random events, such as seeing patterns in clouds or finding significance in coincidences — to try and make sense of our world. But this can lead to a misinterpretation of the reality before us.
Tyson explains that we often create absurdity as a coping mechanism for things that we cannot understand. Tyson suggests that we do this to feel in control of the universe, even when we are not. Additionally, Tyson argues that absurdity arises when humans try to impose their will on the universe. He notes that we often create absurdity by assuming that we know what is best for the universe, even though we cannot possibly know what the universe needs.
Tyson believes that the universe's inherent absurdity to us is a result of our limited perspective. We try to translate the universe into something that fits into our preconceived notions of how things should be. However, the universe operates on a scale so vast that it leaves us both intrigued and utterly confused, but also endlessly entertained.
Finally, Tyson posits that the universe is inherently absurd to us because it exists beyond our comprehension. He suggests that, instead of creating absurdity to fill the void of our understanding, we should be open to the mysteries of the universe and embrace the unknown.
An Alternative take on the seemingly Boundless Absurdity of the Universe
By contrast, other prominently deranged and deluded theoretical physicists believe that quantum entanglement, the phenomenon where two particles become connected and behave as one, is the cornerstone of a competing unified theory of absurdity. According to their model, they argue that the universe is full of absurd, entangled particles, each part of a cosmic joke that we humans are not meant to understand.
This alternate theory goes on to suggest that the unpredictability of quantum entanglement is what gives rise to the absurdity of everyday life. From the inexplicable behaviour of our pets to the bizarre behavior of our politicians - everything can be traced back to the strange and unpredictable behavior of these tiny particles.
This outlandish and preposterously controversial school of theoretical physics goes on to posit that the universe may, in fact, be one giant, tangled web of absurdity. They suggest that everything in the universe might be entangled and that it's only our limited perception that prevents us from seeing the interconnectedness of all things.
To take this alternative theory to its ‘logical’ conclusion, we could say that the universe is one giant cosmic joke, and that we are all just characters in a farcical play that is constantly unfolding. From the smallest subatomic particles to the most distant galaxies, everything is part of this grand absurdity, and nothing is quite what it seems.
As to the more widely accepted view, Tyson's unified theory of absurdity concludes that absurdity is nothing but a product of human perception. Overall, Tyson's theory of absurdity is a refreshing perspective on how we, as humans, interact with the universe. It encourages us to approach the universe with an open mind instead of trying to impose our will upon it. By acknowledging the complexity of the universe and our limitations in experiencing it, we can experience beauty in life's most absurd moments.

The image above was based off of three separate AI images created in Dream by Wombo, then stitched together with extensive manually cloning work in PS. A minimal oil paint filter was also applied in PS. Finally, the low-res pixelated image was smoothened and then re-sharpened in Topaz DeNoise.
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.
I always imagined if I had a real large format camera and I could capture the complete details of this beautiful city of San Francisco. Well to get this idea a reality in digital world, where large electronic sensors of Cameras are cost prohibitive, I decided to create a 200+ Megapixels of panorama by combining several smaller pictures where a panoramic picture has enough details for printing up to 4 ft by 14 ft without losing any details. Read on my blog on how this was created.
To cultivate the right instrument of perception, there must be no comparison, for when you compare you cease to understand. If you compare, approximate, you are being merely Competitive, ambitious, and your end then is success in which inherently is failure. Comparison implies a pattern of authority according to which you are measuring and guiding yourself. The oppression of authority cripples understanding. Comparison may produce a desired result but it is an impediment to self-knowledge. Comparison implies time and time does not yield understanding - J Krishnamurti
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)
