This is how it looks like when you throw a push pin upside down into the water and take the picture at the right time. But that was pretty hard to take, I needed many tries!

Heavy machinery and sunsets must be two of the most photographed HDR (High Dynamic Range) subjects and yesterday evening I thought to combine them into one photograph. So here I was setting up my tripod next to this old CAT bulldozer making sure I'm getting the sunset into the same shot when suddenly I've got about 4-5 construction workers as spectators behind me watching my every move. So I didn't quite get all the shots I wanted, but I think this one is worth a post.

Kind of like a 'Pipe Dream' except I use this vintage Ronson table lighter to light one of the very few cigars that I'll smoke in a year. I had one with a couple shots of tequila the other night with some friends...after all that came about it was like saying 'Hey! Some bad things happen, but I have friends and will always keep moving forward...help my children move forward and just love life!

'PUSH or PUSHING
This photo will mark the start of a new series - my trip to Las Vegas for the International Sign Expo, April 27-30.
I thought this yellow-capped mushroom looked pretty cool growing on the forest floor.
Back to work after a few days off and will comment when I get home. Happy Wednesday everyone.

Photographing Humans
One of the huge motivators for me going to India was a desire to become more skilled at photographing humans.
You will see a large number of images of people. So here is a disclaimer. I will not post an image of a person where they had not given me permission to do so. That permission was often given by the simple tilt of the head, but more often than not they had actually asked me to capture them. How did this come about?
I have never really done any street photography of people before heading to India. So I was on a very steep learning curve. What happened is I spent most of my time actually stopping and talking to people, in this case in the spice markets near Chandni Chowk in Delhi. I would have the most amazing conversations, often with folks who spoke very little english. At the end of the conversation they were asking me to snap them, and there was more often than not a real keenness from them.
I witnessed some, to be frank, arsehole tourists and their methods of capturing these people. They would just storm through barging up to the people and grabbing pics. All I know is they must have some pretty strange photos. And they cause a real reluctance on the part of people to take part I think.
I loved getting away from where those tourists were. In the most part I was hanging out amongst people, this was one of those places, where you just didn't see tourists. So the people I was hanging out with were surprised to firstly see a me wandering among the carts on the road, and secondly wanting to stop and have a hard case chat.
Anyway. I think I have learned a thing or two about taking photos of people on the street while away and I am so looking forward to sharing the images, but for me more importantly the stories of the people I shot, because I stopped and spoke to them so I could share their stories, so that you not only see their wonderful eyes, but might understand a bit about them as humans.
Peace, Denis
Push or bump starting a two stroke motorcycle. A concept that I have become very familiar with over the last 40 years or so.
Part of my Flickr "two strokes" Album:-
A shortwave radio displayed at Fort McHenry in Baltimore. The fort was used as a Coast Guard training station in WWII.
The photo was taken a few years ago.
My youngest nephew was just following the instructions!
Now I think that adds something more interesting to the photo.
