This guy just deserves the spotlight because of that expression!

Today we had Sapphire round to visit for the first time - she's a young dog trainer. Our main problem with Harbie is he is too reactive when he sees other dogs, but we have "sit" and "(give me your) paw" under our belt now and he does understand "no" and will "stay" for a couple of seconds if there are no distractions!

Its amazing to see how these little Prairie Dog 's, picking up every tiny piece of food with

such long fingers.... And don't have a problem at all!

I've once tried chopsticks, and I must say...a great way to stay slim!

Have a wonderful weekend my friends!

Spent some time cleaning the filters and lenses today, it's not often they are all out…..anyway it turned in to a quick snap to document the occasion!!

 

I do not have a problem…….

I've been studying recent developments in the whole AI/Midjourney technology thing, and discovered a serious problem: some of my images here on Flickr have been used to "train image-generation AI".

 

There's a site you can use to find out if any of your work has been used to train the Laion-5B and Laion-400M image datasets: haveibeentrained.com I have found my photographs reproduced in whole, clearly without my permission and in violation of my Intellectual Property Rights.

Class Action lawsuits are ongoing to prevent unauthorized use of people's work, because clearly there need to be some rules about what can and cannot be used to train these datasets. You may want to look to see if any of YOUR photos are used in this way.

 

I'm contacting management at Flickr to find out what my options are. ALL of my images here on Flickr are marked as Copyrighted, and no unauthorized use of them is permitted. I'm curious to see how Flickr responds to this problem. I'm ready to permanently pull the plug on my Flickr account if I am not satisfied with the outcome. @flickr

 

Until there is some sort of resolution of this problem, either through class action lawsuits or Flickr safeguarding members work from misappropriation, I will only post a blank grey square every day, indefinitely.

・耳が曲がっていない

CurvをApplyし忘れていた。

Object modeの時しか曲がらず、Edit modeになった時に耳が真っ直ぐになることには気づいていたものの、UPするときには曲がってるだろうと思い込んでいた。

 

・片耳が透明

平面で作った耳をミラー反転させた結果、右耳は裏の透明部分が表に出ている。(Solidifyに気付く前にうpした例なので)

厚みをつける時、外側につけるか、内側につけるかにも気をつける必要あり。

If you have a problem, don't say it to "Anyone" because 20% of people don't care about it and the other 80% are glad you have it!!!

although I think this bullshit isn't OK at all!

It's very very hard to add your photos to my favs at the moment. It sucks!

Something I do a far bit :o))

something went wrong with the click 'n collect...

The wind picked up, catching the tops of the waves heightening a few to about 2 feet from trough to crest. No problem canoeing this as long as paddling in motion and quartering it (avoiding it hitting broadside).

Na een donkere winter lijken we nu toch echt de lente te zijn ingegaan. De maand maart is begonnen met zo goed als strakblauwe luchten, waardoor de motivatie ook weer iets omhoog ging en het stof van de camera kon worden afgeblazen. Ondanks dat februari ook aardig wat zonuurtjes telde, heb ik die maand niet één geslaagde foto kunnen maken zonder dat de wolken het verpestten. Maar vandaag zou daar verandering in komen.

 

’s Morgens 5 maart zagen de voorspellingen er goed uit, én ik had tijd, dus besloot ik gelijk te vertrekken. Een echt plan had ik nog niet, maar daar kwam al snel verandering in toen ik de melding kreeg van een leuke RFO trein met een kort sleepje Laude-wagens. Even later bleek dat deze via Tilburg Goederen naar Oss zou gaan. Aanvankelijk wilde ik deze klikken in de buurt van Zaltbommel, echter zou hij daar niet heel lekker voor de zon rijden. Het moest dus ergens tussen Tilburg en ‘s-Hertogenbosch gebeuren. Toen ik naar Tilburg reisde, viel me een leuke stek op ter hoogte van Udenhout. Al snel bleek dat er bijna geen foto’s van deze stek waren, dus besloot ik om de gok te wagen. Nadat ik in Tilburg een ov-fiets had gehuurd, fietste ik richting Udenhout, wat met dit weer zeker geen straf was! Toen ik bijna aankwam werd nog even aan de plaatselijke boer gevraagd of ik over z’n land mocht, en gelukkig had hij daar geen problemen mee.

 

Toen ik aankwam bleek de stek prima te doen, zeker met de lengte van de verwachte trein. Alles werd klaargezet en niet veel later passeert hier Rail Force One 2019 303 met een kort sleepje Laude-containers als trein 42316 mooi op tijd de fotograaf in Udenhout, richting Tilburg Goederen en uiteindelijk Oss. En zo kon ik, al was het na dik een jaar, mijn eerste geslaagde plaat maken van deze loc!

I didn't want to do it. I tried to reason with this local group of "economic terrorists" but they saw no reason to deal with the likes of me. Finally, I sat down in my office one evening and made my statement. If the "child's play" doesn't stop I'll get the London Press involved. I'm no Pamela Anderson as I have many years on her but I guarantee I'll fill the parking lot next door to the anti-fur offices with photographers who will take my picture, minus this fur coat, just to prove a point. No worries, I'll keep the shoes on.......its sort of my thing anyways."

 

The picture and that "Do Not Cross Me" look on my face was enough to send the local anti-fur people packing. Next, they began their attack strategy against a friend of mine who is in the fur business as well. My friend Morty attempted to invoke the same strategy. Unfortunately, the suspenders on his socks which hold them up, his lace up, spit shined shoes and a fur coat mostly covering his body did not have the same effect as my picture. I guess he thought humor would do the job. It didn't and the battle began between them. I did what I had to do and I would have done whatever it had taken without hesitation. There is a right way to be in the fur business and then there is the other way. I was glad my approach solved the problem with this anti fur group. As a parting shot in my final letter I wrote "and you can tell Pamela Anderson I hope she looks as good as me when she gets to my age. PS. Won't happen!"

 

Final Rule of Business: Never run the bluff if you can't or won't follow through.

One day someone is sure to call you on it.

 

I simply never bluff and that is what makes a business person like me so unpredictable

and at the same time so dangerous.

Now the anti-Japanese demonstrations are growing more and more violent in some cities in China, so I'll regretfully restrain myself from photographing. But I still believe in Shanghainese :)

And…I'm sorry I often cannot see your images by the problems of the lines at the hotel…

 

Walking through some woodland today, and saw this tree. Immediately, it made me think of my older sister and her eyebrow tweezers lol. No stray eyebrow hair allowed.

I wanted to state that this is not my house; although I wish it were. When we were kicking around the idea to move to Massachusetts, we flew out during Thanksgiving week to make sure we wanted Massachusetts to become our new home. I had been drooling over this house on a real estate website so we decided to drive out and take a look during an open house. First of all, the house is PINK! I loved the idea of living in a pink house. This house felt so right to me; the owner was selling because his girlfriend (I don't think they were married) had passed away and I believe he wanted to get away and start over. She was an artist and the walls were covered with her art. I will confess, I teared up when I walked inside. It was built in the late 1800's and had charm oozing out of its walls. We weren't in the position to buy at that time (we still had a house in Seattle to sell), but I'll never forget this house. So glad I took photos that day.

Very pleased to have been asked to show some of my photos in this art magazine. Gracias Octavio.

New iMac - new problems - stil time to feed my Flickr addiction - will visit your streams later.

This got me four stings by the bees.

But it gave me no problems, while others end up in the hospital !

 

Insect bites and stings occur when an insect is agitated and seeks to defend itself through its natural defense mechanisms, or when an insect seeks to feed off the bitten person. Some insects inject formic acid, which can cause an immediate skin reaction often resulting in redness and swelling in the injured area. Stings from fire ants, bees, wasps and hornets are usually painful, and may stimulate a dangerous allergic reaction called anaphylaxis for at-risk patients, and some wasps can also have a powerful bite along with a sting. (wikipedia)

 

Dieses Foto hat mir vier Stiche von den Bienen eingebracht.

Aber es hat mir keine Probleme bereitet, andere landen im Krankenhaus !

 

Ein Insektenstich ist eine Abwehrhandlung von mit einem Giftstachel bewehrten Insekten, meist Hautflüglern wie etwa Honigbienen, Wespen und Hornissen, seltener auch Ameisen. Dabei wird dem Feind mit dem Stachel ein giftiges Sekret unter die Haut injiziert. Es kann sich um die unmittelbare Verteidigungsreaktion eines einzelnen Insekts, aber auch um die kollektive Reaktion auf eine Bedrohung der Niststätte handeln.

Im Normalfall reagiert der Körper auf das Stichgift (etwa das Bienen- oder Hornissengift) dieser Insekten, bei einem kleinen Kreis anfälliger Personen besteht darüber hinaus die Gefahr einer allergischen Reaktion. (wikipedia)

NPK251R seen here posed at Gledhow turning circle in Leeds. This was after Geldards had stopped operating commercial stage carriage services and were concentrating on schoolwork. I only drove this bus a couple of times when i was doing some part time work for them, it was a lively little thing, if somewhat tired.

September is the month when spiders make their presence felt, this one decided that the old Tilley lamp holder on Danzey station footbridge was a great place to spin a web. The damp mist from earlier in the morning has added some jewels to the creation. 172103 speeds past with 2S06 the 10.27 Worcester Shrub Hill to Stratford-upon-Avon service.

I have Covid therefore there will be little new photography from me for the time being. Archive stuff is no problem!

Our Daily Challenge - Feb 21, 2019: "Metaphor"

 

Pretty sure that poor Cookie has reached... "the point of no return"!

 

Daily Dog Challenge 2663.

"What a Treat"

 

The is Toby's first "Catching Cookies" shoot, and the pup did pretty good!

 

He already knew how to catch treats, but this is the first time I've tried doing it when I'm on the floor.

 

Plus he needed to stay where I put him and wait patiently for me to toss the Cookie.

 

Neither of those things caused him the slightest problem.

 

I'd say he thinks "Catching Cookies" is the way all shoots should be!

 

Stop on by Henry and Toby's blog: bzdogs.com - The Secret Life of the Suburban Dog

From my annual crevasse rescue training on Langjökull glacier this year. Icelandic ICE-SAR teams from the south-west corner of the island meet up and undertake some fun, problem solving tasks.

 

This one was shot just before bedtime with all my fellow rescue team members already in their tents, lighting them up from the inside. Here we are sleeping in tents (in -10 C°) on the recently snow covered glacier, with the hard ice only about 30-40 cm below the surface of the snow. At the end of winter we could be seeing tens of meters of snow covering this same area hiding all crevasses and moulins.

At the left of the frame you can see a hint of northern lights, to faint for the naked eye to pick them up, but the camera manages to get some colors.

When Aron and Widogast (the monster hunter) met in the Golden Crown Inn in Rindael, Widogast made a deal with Aron (who is known to only go after dragons) to hunt a cockatrice, which is best described as a two-legged dragon, wyvern, or serpent-like creature with a rooster's head, so at least part of it was a dragon.

 

"Drinks on me when you bring me a cockatrice head." said Widogast.

"Only drinks?" asked Aron.

"Well, you may keep the bounty too." replied Widogast "or are you afraid of it?"

Aron: "No way, I'll get you that cockatrice head, I am not affraid of some chicken."

"Okay, deal, may luck be on your side then." said Widogast jokingly.

"Ha, where I'm going I don't need any luck." replied Aron.

 

A cockatrice was recently spotted on the border of Faldia and the Daelen near the Whispering Woods.

 

Aron's preparation included polishing his armor, and putting a special mirror coating on his shield. But when he finally reached the place where the creature was spotted, he couldn't believe his eyes, no report made mentions of the size of the beast. Trampling the fence near the path, the beast almost was the same height of a nearby tree.

 

"That dammed Widogast, he knew the size of that beast, I'm sure of it..." thought Aron. "Well, here I go..."
