Winter is a pretty dry spell for floral photography, but there is always the possibility of an Amaryllis to brighten things up.
The impossible just takes longer.

Could do a whole shoot that was simply "sit 'em on the sidewalk and let the sun flare do its thing".
I see from the archives, this was my only shoot with Brittany...worst feeling is looking back and realizing I should've worked with folks more than once. I see all the avenues I missed in the first (and only) shoot, wonder what I was thinking, back then.
I can tell this: I wanted it over as soon as possible. I shot close to my apartment, stayed put in one spot on the street, the metadata says I didn't even make it a full hour, but I don't remember anything so significant that would've made it bad beyond "not my vibe."
The more I look at the shoot, the more I get it. I was bored. Not feeling it, I barely had Brittany move around, barely made her laugh. I didn't take any chances, didn't try anything new.
Oh...looks like I'd been to my favorite Mexican restaurant a few hours earlier...I was probably nursing a mean post-heavy meal hangover. I've made this mistake before, it all becomes clear.
Shoot on an empty stomach, damn you!
A year in the making and only possible due to the persistence of the long suffering NJ who tolerated my desire for a perfectly spaced rotation and a good haul of autumn maples to hand light.
“Inception, is it possible?”
Recently, I took part in a building challenge organized by Nathaniel for SaltyLUG. Our goal was to guess from a piece of music the film it came from and to build a scene from it, this being Christopher Nolan’s 2010 “Inception” of course. The scene that stuck out to me the most was at the end which drew many theorists to believe that Cobb was still dreaming at the end of the film.
I started out by building the table and details on top such as the spinning top. That part was completed for the challenge, as we only had an hour to build our scene. After the challenge, I started work on the rest of the build as I really wanted to finish it with a nice base and a few other details. The sign was something I especially wanted to do and was also probably the most time consuming. It’s built using cheese slopes fit in and held in by friction. The rest of the details then came together shortly after.
I hope you enjoyed something different from me other than my usual Star Wars creations. I’m a big Nolan fan so I might end up going back and building other scenes from his films. Let me know below what yours is and which scene from what movie I should try next :)
Noel is studying to be an architect like his dad and big brother are. Caleb probably got all the good genes, but Noel is pretty hardworking on his own.

One more stretch-framing completed for possible exhibition in Oxford a few months down the line ..... hopefully.
macropaintograph - 'kromofom' (2017)

I heard about a meteorite during the lunar eclipse and checked my pictures.
This one is not my best, but I found a very little light spot, at the place of the moon at which the meteorite was supposed to crash, and this spot didn't appear on the other pictures.
Could this possibly be the meteorite ?
(Place pointed with a Note on the picture)
Does anyone of you, know about this and confirm ?
I didn't want to modify the picture, the impact (if this is a meteorite) is very very small, and it's necessary to increase the light of your screen to see the spot.
Here’s an eight (portrait) image panorama of a small, dilapidated Cape Dutch cottage… a few kilometers from my farm in the Little Karoo.
Although this place is just a stone’s-throw away from my own Cape Dutch cottage… and although I’ve driven past it at least 400 times over the past ten years… would you believe that I have never actually photographed it before!? I decided to change all that on Sunday morning though… I set my alarm clock to wake up in time for sunrise… to capture this cottage in the best possible light. I couldn’t have asked for better conditions!! :)

DESCRIPTION: Along scenic Highway One in Mendocino and Sonoma Counties, one comes across these old redwood fences built by the homesteaders who arrived in California after the Gold Rush. These - now vintage - fences are part of the charm and history of the area.
This is a view of my commute to work...and I am every day grateful for the rugged beauty of the part of California I call home. We can all enjoy this paradise forever if we protect it!! Living in California, being a native Californian, I've seen how in just my lifetime this Golden State has been chewed up by a burgeoning population and continuing irresponsible development. (California's population in 1950 was about 11 million, and it is projected to be 65 million in 2050.)
Here are several websites that offer excellent information about renewable energy sources and greening businesses. It has been imperative for some time now that we move as quickly as possible away from our dependence on fossil fuels, but the political will has been lacking. The good news is that this is changing. We are all in this together, and we can all help create a positive future. Information and education are key.
If you are not French, it’s likely you haven’t ever heard the word “Saintonge”, and have no clue what it means. If you are French, it’s probably the same thing. Unless, that is, you are a fan of Romanesque, in which case you know that Saintonge, that small region of France centered around the town of Saintes (hence the name), not far from the Atlantic Ocean, just North of Bordeaux... features the highest density of Romanesque churches of all the country!
I had never visited that area of France, and so in the middle of October 2021, I took that long overdue trip and stayed two weeks in Saintes, driving left and right daily to photograph all the most significant Romanesque churches... and unfortunately leaving out many others, as they are so thick on the ground!
The church that we examine today is dedicated to saint Pierre-ès-Liens (Saint Peter-in-Chains) and is located in the village of Thaims.
There are several reasons why this church is truly unique and stands out among all those other Saintonge Romanesque churches.
The first reason is that it has doors on almost all sides: there is one on each arm of the transept, and if we can admit that the door at the end of the northern arm is a porte des morts leading into the cemetery (as we saw yesterday in Corme–Écluse), the one leading out of the southern transept arm is a lot more curious, especially since it is significantly decorated —as far as decorations go on this very simple church. I would have leaned towards a door opening onto a cloister if this church had, at any point in time, been an abbey or priory church, but there is absolutely zilch historical evidence of that.
Neither is there any mention of relics that would have been the subject of a pilgrimage, with the need to organize the flow of pilgrims entering through one door and exiting via another and besides, there is no ambulatory inside the church, whose floor plan remains very simple, even though it is in the shape of a Latin cross, which is rather unusual in Saintonge, as we have seen repeatedly.
The second reason is that it features a nicely rounded apse, also unusual in Saintonge where three-sided or five-sided apses are the norm. Note that the apse collapsed in the 20th century and had to be rebuilt, but that was done using the same stones whenever possible, and the job was very nicely done, and is virtually undetectable.
The third reason, and the most significant, is that this church is about the only one in the whole region that was built over a Roman villa, and a large and tall one, with big parts of it still showing, as you will see in some of the photos. The church itself is older than most of its Saintonge sisters, having been built, for the most part, during the 1000s.
The most interesting view of the church: all of the bell tower, up to the blind arcatures below the octagonal top part, was built during the Antiquity and was part of the villa I mentioned above.
So was part of the transept. Everything that is made up of smaller apparel is Roman, including the large arch to the right.
Beholding this ancient structure is amazing and quite emotional.
This is a composite photograph made up of two exposures stitched together in PTGui. There was not enough space for me to move back to include the whole building in the frame, even with the wide-angle 19mm tilt-shift lens.
Sometimes you're good and sometimes its just luck. I had a visitor while shooting this home in Jackson, Wy. I had to compromise the composition a little, but she didn't spook when I slowly opened the door and snuck back to my camera.
This photo was done in a single 30-second shot. ISO was 3200 (hence some graininess) but I couldn't shoot much lower ISO at that time frame with the lens I had without the stars moving too much. Karsten lit up the waterfall with his headlamp for the first 5 seconds of the exposure then turned his light down to follow the stream of water to the ocean briefly before pointing the light up towards the stars for the last 20 seconds or so. All while remaining as still as possible to not blur his silhouette! Good coordination on his part as well as a lot of patience as this required quite a few outtakes.
Back to 2008, and Midland Mainline 43076 passes Kibworth Harcourt with a Northbound HST service. This was a location I often visited, but this visit in February 2008 may well have been my last, 16 years ago, that does not seem possible!
Miniatur Wunderland (German for miniature wonderland) is a model railway attraction in Hamburg, Germany, and one of the largest of its kind in the world, built by the twins Gerrit and Frederik Braun. In January 2011 the railway consisted of 12,000 metres (39,370 ft) of track in HO scale, divided into seven sections: Harz, the fictitious city of Knuffingen, the Alps and Austria, Hamburg, America, Scandinavia, and Switzerland. Of the 6,400 square metres (68,889 sq ft) of floorspace, the model takes 1,150 m2 (12,378 sq ft).[1]
By 2020, the exhibit is expected to have reached its final construction phase, including at least a total of ten new sections in a model area of over 2,300 m2 (24,757 sq ft).[1] The next section covering an airport opened in May 2011. The exhibit includes 890 trains made up of over 11,000 carriages, 300,000 lights, 215,000 trees, and 200,000 human figurines. The creators will work on models of Italy and France now that the airport section is completed. The airport is named Knuffingen International Airport and is modeled after Hamburg International Airport. Possible future additions include Africa, England, or a futuristic landscape.
From Wikipedia
In late 1978 it was still possible to find Routemasters in service all around the LCBS operating area such as these three (RMC`s 1487, 1490 and 1479) at Chelsham Garage on 26 October 1978. But within months these and many others came out of service making 1979 the last full year of operation with just a handful surviving into the early part of 1980. Sad to see the sorry state of many of them in their final months with roof damage way beyond the worst seen in previous LT ownership.
Halong Bay, Vietnam
Legend has it that a dragon thrashed his gigantic tail and created the 3 thousand islands and outcroppings of Halong Bay. UNESCO has recognized it as a World Nature Heritage Site.
Traditional junks trawl for fish here and it is possible to take boat excursions to many of Halong Bay's islands and caves.
All but the first six DL500Bs built in Australia were double ended, unfortunately the B end being a lot less photogenic than the A 'cab' end.
Wherever possible I avoided pics of them B end leading, but for historical relevance I include this shot of 4471/4497 climbing Exeter bank with empty limestone 2Y11 from Berrima cement works to Marulan quarry on 22 March 1994.

This moon’s phase known as “Waxing Gibbous” occurs when the moon is more than half illuminated and getting bigger towards a full moon. For my like, this is the best phase to photograph it because the beautiful detail of the moon is actually accentuated by shadows and the contrast of light and dark near the moon's 'terminator' i.e. the border of the moon where it turns from bright to shadow. The colours have been saturated and contrast increased in all my photos to emphasize all the details. I have used a low ISO to bring all the possible details in post processing to create that sort of 3D effect that can’t be seen when the moon is full.
Taken at Measham in Leicestershire.
The light was not very good and it was not possible to get closer as it was in the middle of a housing estate, so this was the best I could do today, nice bird though and a first for me!
The breeding range of this bird is in steppes, semi-deserts and deserts of Central Asia and Southeast Europe. It can be found from north-western Mongolia via Dzungarei, Xinjiang, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan to southern Russia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Armenia . Its southern range extends to the north of Afghanistan and Iran.
I caught this train above the tracks at East Cliff and then hustled down to the base of Coal Creek to get ready for a shot. Fortunately, the train was restricted to 20 MPH between Crescent and Rocky due to high winds. That gave me some extra time to climb around in the Jefferson County Open Space to try to find the best perspective possible.

This is from the new Water Rail hide. The old one is still in use, but when the water levels are up even 4 inches it is not possible to do. So this one was designed so that it does not matter if the river is even up 6ft it can be done unless severe flooding has occurred at the site. It also offers far more light and the birds here are active all through the day and usually with the 2 coming at once. Please email me at info@photographyhides.co.uk to book. This one is £70 a day.
All through the BLM lands in Wyoming is oil. It's made access to the remote reaches of these places possible, but it's also altered the landscape in many ways.
There have "always" been road through these places, of course. Before the oil boom there were autoways. Before the car, there was the railroad, and before that were immigrant trails following Native American trails (here, Shoshone-Bannock and Eastern Shoshone).
This also means that some roads (the road to oil rigs) are improved, while the others are abandoned.
And this makes maps almost useless. The road you're on may seem to lead to where you want to go, but if it's not one used by an oil company, it might not. I had two just fizzle out on me as the map urged me onward into a wide vastness of sagebrush and grasses, where even the faintest of ruts could hardly be disserned. All within five miles of my destination, which I was never able to reach.

Pocket cutter, which could be used by engineers for the opening of something not very massive. Possible the narrowing of the beam in one spot for more precise operations.
Just finished Dead Space and Dead Space 2, it was AWESOME! Very liked it, now it's my second favorite franchise after Mass Effect. Scary in some moments, but still dynamic and awesome. Cant wait for DS3.
And I hope the Severed DLC will port on PC.
Comments and fan-emotions from Dead Space would be cool.
P.S.: Which moment in DS2 was most *SCARY!1* for you? For me it was a sun on a school scene. I shoot it off from it's place (nervous, yup) and killed 2 monsters with it and with *WAAAAAAAGH* :3
To dovetail into yesterday evening's posting of KVD 15E, here's a genuine colour offering, though admittedly a poor one, which I took at Overtown during a visit in the early 1980s. Hutchison's preference for AECs was still very much in evidence, though since the end of production of the Southall product, Volvos had begun their rise to prominence in the fleet. Hutchisons kept the faith with 'mediumweight' Reliances, specifying the smaller AH505 engine with manual transmission for as long as possible. Both the Plaxton and the Willowbrook bodied buses in the picture here were so powered. The firm took their final AEC Reliance bus on a 1979/'80 'V' plate, but that was a different animal, a semi-automatic with a 760 engine and bodied by Duple.
May not look like much, but this is the first real view I got of 2 chicks in the White-tailed Kite's nest. I pretty much had to be with the best view possible of where we thought the nest was, then food had to come in to see any sign of life. So there it is - 2 little beaks ready to eat what mom brought them. After watching this unfold for 2 months, I can't begin to relate how exciting this was. If you can't find them, I added a note over them, so you just need to hover on the image with your mouse. (not theirs, yours)
Possible ID. It's as close as I could come in my book. IRL this spider is about 8mm with the legs. Found on my doorframe when it was cold and it was sluggish.
This is another confusing bird. Initially, I thought it was a Calliope, based on the gorget. But there is pinkish red on the forehead and top of the head, as in an Anna's. In certain images, there is orange visible in the tail.

The F-35B STOVL operation is made possible through the Rolls-Royce patented shaft-driven LiftFan® propulsion system and an engine that can swivel 90 degrees when in short takeoff/vertical landing mode. Rolls-Royce is subcontracted to Pratt & Whitney on the F135 engine to provide the Lift System for the Lightning II. The Rolls-Royce LiftSystem® is the first to enable Short Take Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) operations for supersonic-capable aircraft.
Last week at Bristol zoo, I was lucky enough to catch the pelicans at feeding time. With a bit of practice it was possible to capture the birds catching the fish as they were thrown by the zoo keeper.
it is possible cinders that you might go to the ball but can you first clean the house top to bottom do the washing and drying and get dinner ready?
Oh well looks like its another night home alone. On the plus side i play dress up with my sisters clothes result

This is a sculpture I encountered at the Decordova Museum and Sculpture park. According to their website, Saul Melman's "Best of All Possible Worlds" consists of eight vacuum-molded casts of doors, arranged in the exact configuration of the artist’s Brooklyn apartment. The vacuum-cast process creates translucent replicas of the original doors. Traces of paint and small pieces of wood cling to the surface of some of the doors, suggesting their past lives and situating them between the material and immaterial, past and present.
Still not 100% this jacket goes with the skirt and blouse, but willing to give it another shot :P.
