,,,it means progress, not perfection. Last year I got ticket # 20. This year, I snagged # 2! For a sizeable plate of spit-roast lamb at the Portland Greek Festival.
Taken in Williamsburg,Brooklyn on Kodachrome 64 using a Nikon F4s and 20mm 2.8 AF-D.
This photo has always been extremely difficult to get scanned correctly. The slide was always a little off and really was useless for printing purposes because the car turned out too dark. It was always extremely difficult to scan, as well. I've tinkered with it over the past year randomly and feel that I've managed to get it correclt. Hopefully I still have the slide, and it wasn't tossed on my latest purge
The good thing with fireworks shots is that that they are usually taken against a black background and so it is easy to combine a number of shots to create the particular composition or effect you are looking for.
This image is the result of four exposures, one that captured the range of bright streams of light low down, one that had the sparks at mid level and two for the high level bursts. With all the shots being taken in the same position on trip then it was a case of using lighten mode to stack the layers together.
So while they did not all happen at the same time it is the effect of being there that you are left with.

His persistence did pay off (again) a minute or two later. :)
Best viewed large size.
Explore #107 Thanks everyone! LOL!

So I am counting backwards as I prepare for my ultimate departure from the US.
I am turning on my cerebral button that says tourist mode.
First stop: The Museum of Modern Art.
Salvador Dali still speaks to me so eloquently.
The Persistence of Memory.
Even though this white pine has been split open at some point, and is also growing out of bare bedrock, it is still managing to hang on. There's a life lesson there.
"Have faith in God,"Jesus answered. "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." ( Mark 11: 22-24)
We've had heavy fog recently but only on weekdays when I had to work. I woke up about 6:00 this morning, peeked out the window and jumped outta bed to get some shots! Well, I actually took more than 100. I think I need to go back to bed now...
We still don't have water, and probably won't till next week. Due to my ridiculous assortment of maladies, I cannot sleep anywhere other than my 20-year-old couch. See a problem with that combination?
i got steroid injections in my neck this morning. I have PT tomorrow, and will have my knee operated on on Monday. Wish me luck figuring out how/where I'll be sleeping!

this was an amazing thing to watch. an afternoon at the zoo and these bears kept running around chasing each other. then they would stand up and push each other around. the ground would shake with each fight.
definitely view this one large
Smack in the middle of the Alvord Desert Basin you'll find these rusting hulks -- remnants of a borax mining operation from the 19th century.
Chinese immigrant labor would excavate minerals from Borax Hot Springs and boil off the borax (used in soap) in these giant vats. The operation folded when they ran out of the sagebrush used as fuel, marking the only economic downturn in history caused by a sagebrush shortage.
Persistence. Unending. Regardless of the miniscule, nay, seemingly non-existent results. The honey bee, tiny as it is produces honey measured in hundreds of thousands of metric tonnes. But does the individual bee ever think of this when out and about doing what it was created to do? Maybe I should have that mindset. Just focus on what I need to do persistently. Regardless of the outcomes or lack thereof. Lessons from nature.
6 LEDs setup like this: flickr.com/photos/randomskk/2158769361/
They flash on and off at high speed, so when waved about produce a message.
This new version has a little switch on the breadboard, when pressed it flashes the message once. This allows me to just have the message go by on the correct swing direction, and also makes it a LOT easier to get a good photograph.
I'm looking at using an accelerometer to do the same, but it would be able to automatically detect direction and speed and hopefully compensate to get a 'perfect' display.
