“La fotografía digital da más espacio a la serendipia”.
El lugar del azar en la fotografía es comparado por Clément Chéroux con lo que ha pasado en la ciencia con la serendipia. Esta palabra, que hace referencia a una leyenda de la isla de Serendip, hoy Ceylán, donde tres príncipes hacían puras tonterías pero siempre lograban buenos resultados de todas sus travesuras, es un término que expresa que de un error se puede llegar a un resultado positivo. El mejor ejemplo de la serendipia fue el de Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, quien descubrió los Rayos X: “Antes que él, nueve científicos lo habían visto, pero no tuvieron interés, él lo dijo y ya ves lo que sucedió. Hay que saber mirar. En ese sentido, los artistas funcionan como científicos. Pablo Picasso decía: -No busco, encuentro”.

Cercavo un soggetto e ho scoperto che la Terra è rotonda...
I was looking for a subject and I discovered that the earth is round...

Explored! : )
....the gift of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for.
I was set on a tripod and doing a study of a hyacinth vine when along came a visitor. In a stroke of good fortune it preceeded to sit right in the center of a perfect spot in the bokeh!

Raindrops and sunshine! It was certainly serendipity (a happy accident) to watch the golden autumn sun come up this morning and capture rain at the same time!
The River Foss Navigation enters the River Ouse. I could have waited all day for the duck and cyclist to arrange themselves but instead it just happened that the cyclist was advancing as I did, so it was camera to eye, frame, short pause for position and shutter release, no bracket possible. I think it's called serendipity.
Finally, Splash Mountain is back in action. I'm ALMOST ready to get my pass back... just another few months!

Finding something good without looking for it. "
This mice and that little red elf will always remind me to that word....
AND Luz is about to SAIL!!!
YAY!!!
I was experimenting with the white balance on this photo, trying to get the red correct on my first Don Juan of the season. This was on the "custom" setting, which I don't know how to set yet, but I liked the colours against the cobalt blue, so I deepened it a bit in Photoshop and added the crackled texture. Serendipity!
I was on my way down the ramp to look at the yachts moored at Brighton Marina when I saw this lovely bright blue hair coming towards me. I turned and took a quick shot, not realising that the bags on her trolley matched the colours on a passing bus so well. Of course, I could say that I planned the whole thing... :))
i kind of can't get over how well these diptyched. I did not plan this when I shot them, I'm not that clever. The arms in the background are different people, and somehow the arms matched up. The drinks and light inverted with the light leak on the right and the dark background on the left. Even the margarita itself inverted! Pretty cool in my book.

Non ero mai stata a Staglieno da “turista” ... la sua bellezza toglie il fiato. Le statue sono lì ed aspettano che tu posi il tuo sguardo su di loro per raccontarti una storia , una storia fatta d’amore e di morte una storia che ti lacera il cuore. ♥️
“Serendipity. Look for something, find something else, and realize that what you've found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for.”
This is the pumpkin that we found. As in found in the foliage, like this :-D
Oh yeah, my Rolleiflex SL66 is back from surgery in Germany and is now good as new :-D
I keep an eye on the pillar box outside our village Post Office, because there’s often a ‘Yarn Bombing’ on it and these creations fascinate me, and they’re always worth taking a shot or two of. And yes, there’s a new one there now, imaginative and creative as usual! This latest one features a bevy of mermaids gathered around a lighthouse on a rocky island in the sea, and as I sized up the shot, it suddenly struck me that the sea was made of blue netting, and that the theme for the Saturday self-challenge for 2nd August is ‘nets and meshes’! So even as I was taking a ‘Yarn Bombing’ shot I realised I was taking my SSC shot for the week at the same time!
(Since the shot was taken on a Tuesday, it looks like they forgot to change the ‘Next Collection’ badge the day before - or wasn’t the mail collected?)

😃 Thank you very much for any 💬s or ⭐️s you like to give; they’re really appreciated!
Another scene Gail and I found when we got lost.
A couple of weeks ago Gail and I were heading up to the Caledon Rail Trail for a bike ride. We got talking and weren't paying attention and missed the trail, driving too far north. Luckily we found some beautiful scenery to photograph and didn't mind the detour.
Siempre se ha creído que existe algo que se llama destino, pero siempre se ha creído también que hay otra cosa que se llama albedrío. lo que califica al hombre es el equilibrio de esa contradicción.

My brother, his friend, and I explored parts of Lake Louisa Park and got some amazing shots. One of them was this, taken from my perspective of my brother, Nyi, capturing his picture respectively titled Splash! . I'm glad the weather conditions were perfect and discovered this location because the shoreline of Lake Louisa is so nice and pleasant. Definitely, looking forward to going back!
