The Bridge of Sighs, crossing the River Cam between the Third Court and New Court of St John's College of Cambridge University, Cambridge, England. It was constructed in 1831 and designed by architect Henry Hutchinson.
It takes its name from the more famous Bridge of Sighs in Venice, although they have little in common beyond the fact that they are both covered. The bridge is one of Cambridge's main tourist attractions and Queen Victoria is said to have loved it more than any other spot in the city.
On two separate occasions, students have pulled the prank of dangling a car under the bridge. In the first incident, in 1963, a 1928 Austin Seven was floated down the river using four punts that had been lashed together, then hoisted up under the bridge using ropes. In the second incident, in 1968, a Bond three-wheeler car was dangled under the bridge. In neither case was the bridge damaged.
Locals jest that the bridge is named in reference to the sound that Cambridge students make as they cross the bridge on their way out of exams.

Whenever I visit the Phoenix Art Museum, I'm drawn to Josiah McElheny's "Extended Landscape Model for Total Reflective Abstraction" (2004). I love playing with its beautiful reflective surfaces.
Sometimes, simple is best.

Oregon vehicle registration plates are becoming easier to read at night with more reflective background sheeting (right). DMV will start issuing the standard tree plates with the new material in October.
DMV’s plate vendor, Portland-based Irwin-Hodson, is using new 3M™ HD License Plate Sheeting.
The new HD sheeting is more reflective, secure and durable than the previous material.
The previous plate sheeting used tiny pieces of round glass beads inside other materials to produce reflectivity, which shines outward like a floodlight. The new sheeting is “prismatic” or “high-definition” sheeting. It is similar to road signs, which appear brighter at night.

After having built my own lens hood and mini-softbox (before buying anything) I decided to put a broken umbrella to good use today. I simply taped plain printer paper to the inside, sawed off part of the handle and stuck it in the grip of my tripod.
The font in the nave of Norwich cathedral is made from two copper bowls, used by Rowntree Mackintosh in chocolate manufacture. Gifted to the Cathedral in 1994 when the Norwich factory closed. Great for a reflective shot of me with my cousin Russell.
যাহা চোখের বাহিরে দেখা যায় তাহা প্রকৃত সত্য নয় – প্রকৃতির ‘এডাপ্টিভ রেসপন্স’ মাত্র। কবির অন্তর-আয়নায় বিম্বিত সত্যই প্রকৃত সত্য।
This was a lucky spot as I was leaving Watermead this afternoon (don't look too closely...the heron may not be super sharp - it was a long way off!)
No photography tomorrow as I'm taking the D700 to Stoke for a sensor clean...mmmmmm, Stoke....
পাছে পূর্ণিমা দেয় ফাঁকি, তাই আপনারে জলের মতো স্বচ্ছ ও স্থির করে রাখি – যেমনটা করে থাকে জলাশয় চাঁদের বেলায়।
A first few images taken with the Lensbaby Composer (Special Effects).
This is probably not everyone's 'cup of tea', but I love the creative edge...it is so very different from anything I've used before, and had a great time trying out the new lens!
Warning: more images to follow :)
From sandy rivers to reflective rivers.
From winter in the desert to winter in the mountains
From freezing sand to freezing snow.
Every breath vented steam into the air that hung around my face for a minute. My fingers could barely keep up inspite of the 5 layers of insulation. My shoes, now completely covered in snow, lacked the promised insulation resulting in my feet freezing slowly.
And yet, I hung around, mesmerized by the fog developing over the other shore.
I was in Lake Wenatchee State park, nestled within the North Cascades, yet within convenient access of US-2. The fresh snow from previous night had covered the frozen landscape resulting in what was a winter wonderland. Snowshoeing under such a clear sunny sky was a bliss.
I had now reached the shore of the Wenatchee river, draining the namesake lake. I set down my camera bag and started to shoot.
The thing about cold weather and snowshoeing is, as long as one keeps moving, he/she never feels the cold. But the moment the person stops, its effect kicks in, and within minutes, resulting in cold feet and painful fingers. But still photography requires exactly that: standing still in one place and planning, composing and shooting. You can see how those two don't go together....
Yet, I persisted; perhaps just the sheer beauty of the scene was kindling an inner fire that kept me warm....
