Altitude 2000+ special
It's all a question of perspective: The shot above is Andorra's Pic de Casamanya's Segudet slope, with Pic d'Estanyo at background. Both seem to be direct neighbours, but in fact their distance is 4 km. Camera position distance is 12 km.
So "perspective" is the main keyword of what we're doing, optical perspectives and others...
...
How we work
"Altitude 2000+" is an image collection of Andorra's mountain regions beyond the tree line (timberline), short distance or macro distance images of this ecologic precious zone, presenting rare mediterranean-alpine plants of the Pyrenees getting smaller and smaller with getting rarer and rarer.
Most shots are done at another time at often another lighting mood. Bringing it together over the years an orga conception is quite useful. To get plausible results for a story idea someting like a "film-style storybook" it's a must for scene continuity together with an esthetic framing (cadrage). Means: for trustable results we should have enough good scenes in stock that might match.
That's the way we work. Here in Andorra since 2005.
Well, we still are talking about "still photography", not about "video". Nevertheless our workflow offers quality headroom for movie quality, using the scene quality of just 1 perfect lighted and edited high-res still photo.
An example: A virtual flight through Andorra, based maybe on just 1 HiRes photography shot. Medium Format photography is recommended in this case. This kind of production via a selected high resolution still-photo gets interactive at a website or via mobil-phone app.
Medium format has the headroom for it. A zoom-in for details seem to be endless compared to amateur formats, and your video can be updated anytime as all images are based on dng format, a "quasi root format".
Tech-Talk: Size of Medium Format is about 2-times (or more) bigger than FullFrame (36/24) and 4-times bigger than HalfFrame as APS-C. And this is by far not the end. Best resolution at this level finally is defined by optical components before reaching the xxx-megapixel-sensor. Lenses in this category cost often more than the camera. Professionals need a lot of it, as each lens should be "prime", means no-zoom.
Does it bring something? Well, photography is similar to an audio production (where I basicly come from as soundengineer & recordingproducer). Overall quality is determined with both by the weakest link in the chain. And: Sins with both happen often (always...) at the begin of the recording chain, whether accoustics or optics, whether microphone or the lens. Or the singer :). Or impatience of the photographer.
Another aspect of our capacity is a metadata-controlled base to get best and "everlasting" results. Today, next months, the coming years - not a big problem yet. Yet! Or not? Proven standards of the internet exist since min 20 years, IPTC rules even much longer.
Operation of our "GEO-photography" system.
GEO photography in our own definition is a local/regional related interactive network of GEO images, based on our philosophy of "functional photography" (always need millions of additional dates). Explaining: We store the relation of a normal GPS location (camera position), but related to possible targets seen on this image, supplemented, if available, with editoral researches.
GEO photography is a mixture of automated records of all camera-movements, distance measurements plus a database interface including editorial edits as names, synonyms and story text to describe a target more exact and consistent. This 1 image is also related to all the others done over the past.
Result: 1 image is (in our case) related to all matching motives from the last 15 years, sometimes even longer. For Andorra this are 100.000+ images! Please note: To see the full functionality on a webpage or an app it needs individual server-side programming.
Another hot feature is an interactive use within a smartphone-app via GPS-sync. Means: A smartphone (with localisation function) shows stored selected images inclusive redactional text content in a continous flow while hiking Andorra. Fully automated. For example based on our new "Camis & Rutes" collection.
.....
That's it here!
Full features are available with full licensed images. Here at Flickr we present just "footage" in low resolution - not "ready to use" films or videos. Same with any additional information via metadata or editorial. If interested please ask your IT/Media partner and remember the old marketing rule: "Instead of 1001 words - just let pictures speak!"

Hey Flickr friends,
My DH and myself seem to have a difference in opinions. I was wondering if you would be able to help me out?? See I spend HOURS on my babies (cakes) and love to take pictures of them. I'm proud of my talents and love to display them. My DH thinks that I should only post one picture, or two at the most of my cakes and the details I add. I, on the other hand love to show all the little details and showing them up close so you all may enjoy and appreciate them. But I wonder if it detours others from browsing my photo stream?? My DH says that viewers may get board and move on quickly. So what I'm asking is please give me your honest opinion. What do you think is the appropriate amount of pictures I should upload for each cake...lol ; )
Thanks friends!!

Nikon D300 Photos of Beautfiul Sexy Hot Brunette!
She was a beauty--a gold 45 goddess for sure! A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess guards the beauty of dx4/dt=ic and embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.

You can't see it well in this photo, but her left arm is in a cast. Halfway through the crosswalk, she put down the skateboard and skated away, bare feet pushing madly on the asphalt.
Petite question aux utilisateurs Canon : les différences entre les objectifs 50mm f/1.8 II et le 50mm f/1.4 USM justifie-t-elle l'écart de prix ? (100-120€ pour l'un et 350€ pour l'autre). Merci d'avance !
Quick question for Canon users : differences between the 50mm f/1.8 II lens and the 50mm f/1.4 USM lens does justifies the price difference? (100-120 € for one and 350 € for the other). Thank you in advance!

spotted by five year old granddaughter who keeps us going with her questions.
from The Book of Why?
Why doesn’t a chair fly?
Why do we have tongues?
Why are the stars so silver?
Why do girls wear bobbles?
Why do boys try and do handstands?
Why are there earrings in the world?
Why is sherbet so tickly on your tongue?
Why can you hear the wind, but not see it?
Why have old people got see-through skin?
Why can’t you choose what you were born like?
Why do our voices sound different to each other?
Why do people breathe a lot when they are excited?
Why is the sky blue, when the surface of the air is clear?

I recently asked this question on my facebook wall:
“What is your opinion of this hypothetical situation?
One person is reluctant to trust 100% unless there is a willingness for open communication. Another person is reluctant to offer open communication unless there is perceived 100% trust.”
This paradoxical conundrum seems to represent two types of polar views that people lean towards. On the one hand, some people tend to see human nature as a problematic condition in which trust is never quite 100%, and on the other hand some people tend to see people as generally good and worthy of 100% trust, offhand.
Before asking the above question, I held an undisclosed opinion that communication is much more critical than trust, because communication is necessary in order to build trust. But trust is not necessary to initiate communication. And I also held the opinion that this paradox represents a false dichotomy, because ultimately I believe that the highest form of relationship is not based on either interactive communication or on human trust.

Hello, Chicago.
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.
It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.
We are, and always will be, the United States of America.
It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.
A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen.
McCain.
Sen. McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.
I congratulate him; I congratulate Gov. Palin for all that they've achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.
I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.
And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next first lady Michelle Obama.
Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the new White House.
And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother's watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.
To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you've given me. I am grateful to them.
And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best -- the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.
To my chief strategist David Axelrod who's been a partner with me every step of the way.
To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you.
I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.
It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.
It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the Earth.
This is your victory.
And I know you didn't do this just to win an election. And I know you didn't do it for me.
You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime -- two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.
Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.
There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage or pay their doctors' bills or save enough for their child's college education.
There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.
The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.
I promise you, we as a people will get there.
There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can't solve every problem.
But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in America for 221 years -- block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.
What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night.
This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.
It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.
So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.
Let us remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.
In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people. Let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.
Let's remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.
Those are values that we all share. And while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.
As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.
And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too.
And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.
To those -- to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.
That's the true genius of America: that America can change. Our union can be perfected. What we've already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.
This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight's about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.
She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons -- because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.
And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America -- the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.
At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.
When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.
When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.
She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "We Shall Overcome." Yes we can.
A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.
And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.
Yes we can.
America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves -- if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment.
This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.
Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.
