Many entire civilizations have arisen and fallen while this tree grew, prospered, and then faded, and we, the current brief occupants of this world, bicker about what a politician said today (forgotten tomorrow), and toss around terms like civil war because we cannot tolerate a politician of the opposite party for 4 years. Our foresight and patience are some of the things that are even shorter than our lives. It’s so easy for short lived creatures like ourselves to totally lose perspective. We are but a blink of the eye to trees like this. 14-24 mm lens, 24 mm, f/2.8, 20 sec, ISO 6400, stacked image.
In post processing no editing in Photoshop was involved. Tomorrow I will publish the classic version.
The classic version can be found at: www.flickr.com/photos/95566715@N08/44191607262
(This version is rotated clockwise by 90°, nothing else changed to the classic perspective.)
This is called "Perspective" as this "cliff face" is only about 40cm high and the "wave" is no more than 3cm in height.
The camera was right on the sand and less than a meter away from the rock. It is absolutely amazing the perspective one can create at a focal length of 10mm.
It took a while to get this and I just about lost my camera in the process. The wave almost swamped my gear but I snatched it out the way just in time.
Today, for a change, photography not from the nooks and crannies of my city, but from the center.
But I did not want the typical views, so a little different (my) perspective.
Adding a note about Bokeh: for me, the best Bokeh photos have a lot of activity just outside the focal length of the subject. I especially like it when there is blur both in the foreground and the background, and at varying degrees of blur, like in this photo. Here you have an old, dead blossom, several unopened buds, and the hint of another orange blossom in the upper left corner.
This was my "Best of 2020" photo. I had been out shooting for several hours, and when I arrived home, something caught my eye in the Coreopsis plant that had taken over part of our front garden. The plant had grown quite large, with an intricate mesh of stems, buds and flowers of a brilliant, flaming orange color. Looking closer, I saw this lovely Buckeye butterfly spreading its wings. I had to maneuver to a position where the view wasn't blocked by the lattice of stems, and was worried the shot would disappear, but I got it just before take off. I love the colors in this shot, and the morning light and shadows, but also the framing and perspective created by all the stems at different focal lengths.

A new perspective to view Blea Tarn from, on my descent from Side Pike I went to investigate some strange objects and found this picturesque stump - perfect!
We visited the Kennedy Space Center and took the bus tour 2 years ago. At that time the Artemis rocket was inside the Assembly building. It is now on the launchpad and under going dress rehearsals for a March launch. To gain perspective on the size of this facility the stars and stripes on the ground are the same size as on the building in the upper left. The ultimate goal of the Artemis program is to get to Mars, but first they will land on the moon once again.
Happy Fence Friday!
A yacht floats beneath the massive wall of a glacier in Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska. There are at least two seals and a bald eagle also in this image (see my comment below).
