I realize this is not for everyone. I took it for an illustration background for a Bible study website. Inspired by John Bunyan's "A Pilgrim's Progress," a still life in subdued and subtle tones.
In the photo: two antique illuminated Bibles c. 1830's (vols. 1 and 3), two antique prayer books c. 1840's, an antique pocket New Testament c. 1840's, an iron spike from the historic Sierra Nevada Sugar Pine railroad c. 1830's, a wood walking stick, modern Bible translations and tools, a modern illuminated Bible, a ram's horn trumpet (shofar), a vase of feathers (quills) from birds around the word.
I realized it has been a little while since I have posted a pinhole, so I dredged this one out of the archives. This was taken at Proxy Falls last Fall on a trip with Don and Aaron. I do love this falls.
I have eased off a bit in my shooting of pinhole. It still goes everywhere with me, but it takes me usually about a month or at least a couple of weeks to get through a roll (only 8 shots). Though I am working on a bit of a project with the pinhole at the moment that I hope to have finished within the next 2-3 months involving scenes strictly shot at home, recording daily domestic life. Having some fun with it so far, such as pinhole photos taken from inside the fridge looking out, or in the dryer. Once it is complete, I will be posting it, but it still has some work left to do.
Until then.
I realized on day 2 of my road trip from Washington, DC to Los Angeles that I couldn't simply wander around looking for interesting stuff like I would back home. I tried to find places along the way that would be interesting and settled on Mead's Quarry in Knoxville. I figured wherever we ended up would be my only photography stop in Tennessee and wanted a chance to try shooting some reflections in the still waters. It was a good choice despite Scotch being worn out and having only a bit of light left by the time we arrived.

I realize I overshoot this train.It changed power again with this patched SSW GP60 added to the consist.With the cool power it features I will shoot it whenever I can.Seen here climbing up to 12th street yard here at Rutger Street.
Death Valley, California
I just realized that I haven't posted a single photo from Death Valley - from way back in 2018. Surprising because it has to be one of the most beautiful places I have been. Timing, of course is everything - you have to be there when it isn't too hot or too cold. My dream is to go back again, I have a bit more experience, and a better camera.😃
Thank you for your visit!
I realized I haven't posted many shots from my B.C. trip in the spring of 2022. I'll post more over the next few weeks. This is Avatar Grove on Vancouver Island. I don't usually appear in the photos but the trees are so big it's good to have a person in the shot to show scale. I knew this ahead of time so I brought a red jacket ;)
I posted four today, so be sure to check out the other B.C. pics. More of my photos are at www.burntpixel.ca
When I realized that last night would be moonless, I decided to drive to a dark site and give the D3s a run at high ISO night photography. The above image was taken at Craters of the Moon National Monument. The sky glow is from the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory sites in the desert to the east and Arco, Idaho.
The performance of the D3s did not disappoint. No noise reduction was used on these images. In camera, I did turn on the long exposure noise reduction and the high ISO noise reduction was set to "Normal."

I realize that "The Bridge Line" wouldn't touch an EMD as long as Alco was in business, which was of course the proper thing to do. But I also speculate that blue and gray GP-30's might have also been a bit too much to take, as that would have been so awesome. But since it never happened, all I can offer up for Thirty Thursday is a poor substitute of "Thirty Eight" Thursday. And honestly, back when I took this, I was really not happy to even see it in the lashup let alone leading.
I realize it's the same old tale that we photogs keep telling.
Patience isn't something I have in abundance, but for some reason I can muster up infinite patience when it comes to getting a shot.
After a drive, ferry and hike, it was looking pretty gloomy at Kalsoy light house in the Faroe Islands.
I was actually prepared to spend the night alone on this cliff but thankfully I didn't have to.
After dodging sheep shayte for 2 hours, the sun finally gave us a 15 minute window of dynamic light.
This is a 5 shot vertical pano shot with an 18mm lens. The distortion caused by the lens and pano software makes that peak look a lot more pointy than it really is. But, I kinda like the look of it so I kept it.
Thanks for looking

one thing I have realized is that how much of the quality of your image you loose once you start adding more to your original image in programs ...but it does give you a chance to experiment ...grandson Sam reflected in the lens of my phone infront of my camera lens.....amazing what you can do with your iPhone even when not using it to capture images or speak on.LOL...this technique could work for any reflective item infront of your lens...just experiment a bit and find a pleasing subject...loving my few weeks down and actually enjoying the colder weather, with hopes you are all warm and safe and use this time to explore and grow with your camera and lenses...just shows how thin the membrane of the ear is when the light is shinning through it...stay blessed one and all
In 1874, realizing the need for a school, Bannack Masonic Lodge No. 16 built the combination lodge and school house. Classes were held in this building for nearly 70 years. The school finally closed in 1951 as a result of too few students. Over the years classes were held in various other buildings in town. The Gibson House, next door, the Road Agents Store, across the street, and the church all served as temporary “school rooms.” Students who remember the early years of schooling in Bannack recall snow blowing in through the cracks between the wallboards. School books were rare and usually consisted of only what the families brought with them.

My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
I realized that I hadn't eaten in a while. My complicated mood has reached such a level that I forget what I have to do. I realized that I hadn't eaten for a while, as soon as I got up from where I was sitting, as a result of my dizziness and falling to the ground. When I measured my blood pressure and blood values as soon as I came to myself, I realized that I had not eaten anything for a long time. My psychological state had almost destroyed my sense of hunger. While I should have measured my biological values twice a day, I realized that I had not done these for a while. Since there is no one inside my spaceship to warn me but myself, the probability of this situation happening again is quite high. There is nothing here to remind me of me, except the computer that gives a warning when I forget to measure my biological values. Just because I turned off the computer's warning system a while ago doesn't mean I don't care about myself. Rather, it was something I did to get away from living like a robot. It was just one of my attempts to feel human again. Turning off the computer's warning system also helped. I took myself out of the routine and let myself go with the flow of life. This made me a little bit happy. I guess the routines I had to follow on this space journey made me live like a robot. But I was not a robot. I was a human. And I had feelings. These were the emotions I had to experience. I think it's been quite a long journey for a human, this space travel. It was a journey long enough to make a person get lost in his mind. This is a more complex disappearance than being lost in the depths of space. I still have not deviated from my course in this space journey that causes journeys to the past in the depths of the mind. I don't want to go back to planet earth before I find the Plutonians. Maybe I'll never find the plutonians. Maybe I'm looking for a civilization that has disappeared. In this case, this search could take forever. I think it has turned into a commitment for me. I consider myself part of the plutonian civilization. But on the other hand, my belonging to planet Earth, that is to my home, forces me to return home. I am going through a very difficult time. There are dozens of questions running through my mind. All I do is sleep and daydream when I have to find answers to each question. It's the only way for me to escape reality. Because, as soon as I answer the questions in my mind, I know that I will change the course of my spacecraft to planet earth and put an end to this space travel. That's why I need to avoid the questions that occupy my mind. This situation adversely affects my biological health. I don't forget to eat is only one of them. I still don't know what to do. I think it would be best if I put a stop to this post here for something to eat. See you in the next post. Take care of your soul...

I realize that in these dire times I am truly blessed with having a lot of wildlife around my house and while obeying the rules set upon us by the Dutch government to stay at home, I can still go out photographing without meeting other people.
And with spring just around the corner, also my favorite Kestrel couple returned to the nest!! Spent a few days in my little hide to take shots of the male courting the female. Hopefully they'll have a successful nest as last year they broke up before they had any chicks.
Therefore.. although they don't seem to notice me sneaking up to the hide, I'll leave them alone until the female is well and truly nesting to not interrupt their courting. Who needs onlookers when you try to persuade a lovely lady to become the mother of your children! :-)
Hopefully will be continued!
Stay safe everyone!!

I realize this is a bit random, but sometimes I just like to capture railroad tracks out in the middle of nowhere! This is just out of the edge of Orting in the little township of McMillin, Washington. Hope you enjoy my randomness! :)

I realized I'd never taken one of these shots of the Bay Bridge with the old concrete pilings in the foreground, even though I've admired similar shots by great photographers like MumbleyJoe and Sutanto.
So I got up early this past Sunday morning to try out the light before sunrise. This image is the result, and it's my second attempt at blending multiple exposures.
I realized lately that I was very frustrated with my photostream; especially with the front pages of it. In attempt to stop my consciouness from driving me crazy, i'm uploading some more older stuff I disregarded previously. Enjoy. I'll be adding tags and better descriptions after I get them all loaded on.I realized lately that I was very frustrated with my photostream; especially with the front pages of it. In attempt to stop my consciouness from driving me crazy, i'm uploading some more older stuff I disregarded on a previous run through. Likely because I felt that, although the majority of the recent photos on my stream was more experimental and where I am heading as a photographer right now, these newer images represent where i've been as a photographer, which is important too.
Hopefully i'm not beating an already dead horse.. but some of my earlier contacts will recognize this shot from previously in my stream. Except i found this one this afternoon and the balloons are turned a different way. I think it looks better; what do you think? comments? opinions?
As an FYI, this was taken lying on my back in palm springs. It was for a huge private party, i saw the balloons go into this formation and I shot off film like crazy!
When you realize that photography is one of those rare inventions that allows you to take something and preserve it for potentially forever, that you understand a bit better the magic of it all.
Realizing that the bird feeder was an attractive nuisance, I've started to bring it in when it starts to get dark. My daily visitor was not too happy with this situation. It came back several times just to make sure it really, truly was gone.
Do You Realize
The Flaming Lips
One, two, three, four
Do you realize
That you have the most beautiful face?
Do you realize
We're floating in space?
Do you realize
That happiness makes you cry?
Do you realize
That everyone you know someday will die?
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes
Let them know you realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Do you realize?
Ah-ah-ah
Do you realize
That everyone you know someday will die?
Sometimes you just gotta go with the flow.
This morning at 4:30am, I got out of bed, to go to the beach, to photograph a sea stack.
At 9:30am, I arrived home with a photograph of two trees, on a hillside.
Sometimes, things take a turn, for the better..
Hope you like “Do You Realize”
Cheers, Mike
I realized I needed to work harder on my darkroom skills, if I want to get just a little bit close to the epic landscapes of Don McCullin.
So over the last couple of weeks, I've been teaching myself dodging and burning techniques and more elaborate use of filters for contrast control in the darkroom.
Bottom half is printed grade hard (magenta), sky is burned grade soft (yellow). Toned in selenium 1:19, 3:00 minutes.

Everytime you look my way
I realize more and more
How much I adore those pretty eyes
Of yours, I'm helpless baby
Baby I love you
Baby I need you
Can't be without you

Thanks moon light for the editing
I didn't realize my wardrobe blended so well with my surroundings when I set up my bag as a makeshift tripod for this shot; I didn't realize it when I reviewed the photo in camera either, it wasn't until I started processing the photo that it clicked.
Works out because it made for an easy title. Man, titles can be the hardest part of a shot at times.
I snapped this at one of the pedestrian bridges that goes the highways so people can commute easily; a fairly quiet overpass too. I'm going to have to remember this place for future photo sessions.
I think I could get some good portraits here.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

until the water level drops and you have a very large bird as a frame of reference. This bird was out feeding very late - probably after doing its incubation shift in one of the many stork nests we have this year. Fingers crossed for some rain to bring up the water level to allow our gators to be able to patrol under the nests and protect them from raccoons.
I realized that Owen's been getting most of the attention lately, so I thought I'd post a shot of Tiger doing his second most favorite thing - sleeping. His favorite thing, of course, is eating. :)
I realized I never shared this here! Jesus sorry guys but here you go 8D
It's in 1/4 (MSD) scale with the dimensions of 120cm (length) X 50cm (width) X 70cm (height).
I uploaded the full size (2500 X 5000 pixels) so you can zoom in at your leisure (weird line towards the left cause I had to merge two pics CAUSE IT IS TOO BIG EVEN FOR MY 35mm PRIME LENS TO TAKE A FULL VIEW PIC)
I am so proud of it
Decided to bust out the old telescope last night and do some deep space imaging, been a while since I used it and my bigger mount. Of course I'm on call at work which means I can't travel far, have to stay within cell range and be able to get in to work within an hour. So I headed up to my fallback shooting location, Rockport Reservoir. Got up there, spent an hour setting everything up, went to start up my tablet and begin alignment and then I noticed...I was missing the bluetooth dongle for my wireless keyboard and mouse. The stupid tablet touchscreen keyboard won't allow you to use specific key commands in combination, commands I need to do the alignment and get my target in the field of view. So I spent another hour looking for the dongle, realizing it wasn't going to be found, and trying everything I knew to get the alignment to work. No dice, almost decided to pack it up, but instead I did the sharpcap polar alignment and decided to give doing a fully manual mount alignment using a laser pointer. Chose Andromeda because I could actually see it, used the laser pointer and nailed the alignment first try. I just laughed when the first image popped up on the tablet.
I wasted so much time with all that crap so I only got about 100 minutes worth of data. This is stack of 16 exposures, each 7 minutes at ISO 800 with my Nikon D7000 and Astrotech AT65EDQ on a Sirius EQ-G tracking mount. Not the best, but given all the crap I had to go through to get it....I'll take it.
we don't necessarily realize the complexity or even the time spent behind a piece of jewelry. 😉
For this realistic full-mesh watch, where even the gears are functional, some 50 hours of work were required.
Just the scripts, the new HUD and animation 20 hours of work .
You can't make jewelry like this without passion.💗
Thank you for everything, thank you for being there for me as I'm doing all this on my own. 😘😍
So many people fail to realize the gravity of the question "Were you an option or a choice?" I am sure that many of us have been faced with that question at some point in our lives and sometimes the answer was not one that we wanted. Yet so many settle with being the option for fear of being alone. I was taught to never accept anything less than amazing, that if it wasn't amazing that it wasn't worth it. Yet at times I too have found myself settling. Never sacrifice your feelings for the sake of others. Find who and what makes you happy. Be the priority and settle for nothing less.

Thanks for visiting, have a terrific week! #BeKind
I realized that I never posted any finished pillow shots (well, except for this snippet), so here they are! We've been using these every day and love them lots.
From top to bottom, they're backed in Mendocino seahorses, teal polka dots, and orange-on-cream flowers.
If I were to do these again, I'd bind them all in the blue on blue echino fabric. I actually bought extra fabric to bind the third pillow but the dyelot was a bit off, so I didn't use it. Also, the linen is gorgeous but it attracts everything - lint, cat fur, kelly hair, everything.
Pillow tops: hexagon, string pieced, stripes.

So I want to thank everyone for your kind words during this time of loss in my family. I may in fact fall behind a little during this time.. Posting less photos.. & IF I DO FALL BEHIND ON MY (2) CHALLENGES - (which I may not) - But I do feel that it should be excused.
>> I was really looking forward to this week's 52 week challenge.. "Lights at Night" I believe the subject was.. I don't know if I'll get it done. Perhaps I will capture it on the night of my Aunt's service.. I probably should. For me personally, it will make that image so much more important to me. The night I said goodbye. (because I already know the EXACT location I am going to use for that photo).
Anyhoo...
>>I am putting together a eulogy to read at my Aunt's funeral. I do think that I will incorporate my tribute to her on my last photo.. plus and minus a few things. I also think I am going to get a print made of that photo.. Along with a photo of us from when I was little. (I plan on attempting to edit that image today.. Wish me luck).
[ My Aunt Diane was my Godmother. In the photo she has wings on, and a wand in her hand.. and she's posing & holding on to me. I am about 5 years old, standing in front of her. And the photo is titled, "Jessy's Fairy God Mother". Indeed.. She was.
& Now she officially has her wings. ]
** I am tearing up right now, just thinking about everything going on. Her service is this Thursday coming up, in the evening... And there will be a good bit of planning going into it. If the family needs my help, I will do my best to be there. And I have to figure out my eulogy, like I said. & Edit the photo/order a print.**
All of this is really starting to hit me.. As the shock wears off. It hurts. My heart really hurts. I love you Aunt Diane. *And I'm going to continue what I've been doing.. because I know how proud of me, you were. So, no worries there.
>>Take care everyone. God Bless. & Please, if you do pray.. please keep my Aunt Diane, my family and myself in your thoughts&prayers.. if it's NOT too much to ask. I really appreciate it. And I appreciate all of you. Your love & support really means the world to me. So, THANK YOU!!
i realize that the end to my 365 journey came around 4 months late....BUT i mean the happiness in this shot makes up for it, right?
haha tbh i think i'm one of the worst 365-ers in the world. but please don't judge me :)
just to update everyone, i'm doing great! i quit swimming so there's more time for myself but i'm continuing my art ways :P This is from today's videoshoot i had with these 2 lovely people. I've introduced Matthew to everyone before, but not Ana. She is honestly one of the funniest people i know. She can make me laugh no maaaaatter what! Along with this boy, the laughter never ends!!
anyways thanks everyone for supporting me and checking up on my stream all this time! FLICKRITES I LOVE YOU ALLLLLLLLL <3
(i'll sitll upload stuff, but not super often.)
This Chafer Beetle is eating pollen on a Buttercup flower. I managed to get five frames before the critter realized I was close and stopped feeding.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (around 2.5x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT with a Kaiser adjustable flash shoe on the "A" head (the key), E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC, second curtain sync). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Sharpen AI, Denoise AI, and Clarity in that order. I was holding on to the flower's stem with my left hand, and then resting the lens on that same hand to help keep the scene steady.
