A shining star died, and from that day we are trying to understand life.
I spent a month taking care of my bro. I failed, very likely.
I spent another month taking care of us. I failed, probably.
I am waiting for the following day, from flop to flop, but I don't care. Now I expected the unexpected, and nothing is going to wipe the smile off my face.

Just playing around with long exposures in the daytime.
This is a 26 second exposure in the middle of the day at Milang, South australia.
I used a 10 stop Hoya neutral density filter plus a Hoya 9 stop variable neutral density filter set at 5 stops.
I could have gone longer as I did not realize my ISO was still at 250 and aperture was f8.0.
It was very windy and the water took on a very muddy look.
This was a very difficult shot for me. I was in Chicago in 2002 with friends and my then new Olympus IS 20 film camera. This fountain is in front of the Navy Pier, and spurts intermittently. I wanted to take this shot, but the timing has to be perfect. My friends were ready to go to Sears Towers, and I did not have all the time on earth, I was low on film, and yes, did not have a "Preview" button on my film camera. I braced myself and took 3 shots and this is one of those. One out of three isn't that bad, right?

Green fir tree overhanging a back garden fence with a view to the stop sign further along the backstreet.
The bus stop for the 770 which travels from Harrogate to Leeds through Thorner Village.
Just in case anyone thinks its a fabulous sunset, its not. The lights in the sky are lights from towns in the distance polluting the night sky. There are no street lights in Thorner village.
The village appears in the 1086 Domesday Book as "Torneure" (also "Tornoure") means "thorn bank". The ancient parish of Thorner covered 4400 acres in the wapentake of Skyrack in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The parish included the townships of Scarcroft and Shadwell, which became separate civil parishes in 1866 (wiki)

This will be the last picture from my trip to London for the moment. Have a great weekend everybody.
I can probably count the number of times I've used a 6 stop filter on one hand and that excludes the thumb. This is partly because I'm too lazy to calculate the amount of time required most often resorting to guesswork but also because I never seem to find the right kind of image in the right kind of light. Today was slightly different however, the trees were still, the mist was rising, the water swirling and there was really only one thing preventing me from having a go...I was on a barge! 9 shots straight in the trash but this one crept through.
Thank you for pausing :)

A shot taken outside the Adelaide Goal. This railway track has no barrier throughout so anyone can just walk onto the track but of coz not when the train is coming :P This track links to the main train station where maintenances or repair of the carriages are carried out.

About
The Railway Crossing over at North Adelaide
The Shot
Standard 3 exposures shots (-2..0..+2EV) handheld using the Canon kit lens EF-S 18-55mm lens and a polarized light filter
Photomatix
- Tonemapped generated HDR with detail enhancer option
Photoshop
- Added a layer effect of 'curves' to slightly increase the contrast
- Added a layer effect of 'saturation' of yellows for the sun reflection & greens for the grass
- Applied dodging for the railway crossing pole & sign
- Used 'unsharp mask' (as always) on the background layer
You
All comments, criticism and tips for improvements are (as always) welcome.

Over the weekend we went to nearby Hakone Gardens, a beautiful Japanese garden in Saratoga, California. The wooden arch bridge is a center piece, inviting you to stop and reflect.
I processed a realistic and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

A westbound has stopped just short of Hazelton, KS on Santa Fe's single track transcontinental mainline in southern Kansas. Though only about a year old the SD75M is looking like a real road warrior.
Ne approfitto per dirvi che sono tra i selezionati del concorso internazionale d'arte contemporanea YICCA 2009 ...
e sono happy :D
Beautiful Poem- Stop and smell the flowers
Current mood: peaceful
This poem was written by a terminally ill young
girl
in a New York
Hospital.
SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,"Hi"
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

Shot with Canon EOS 5D Mark II + Canon 50mm f/1.8 II
I am back home, after a trip with some complications.
I got hit by the third snowstorm while travelling within the past 6 weeks, what are the odds?
The first delayed my arrival in the US by one day, the second would have almost got me stuck on the highway when taking a bus to Detroit and now the third that almost got me stuck in Chicago. Luckily, it only delayed me by 6 hours.
Now its time to get adjusted back to german time. At least germany is at least a tad warmer than the U.S. =)
Today shot is one that I took on 5th Ave in NY, and I especially enjoyed the tension that was created by the smoke. Yes, that is real smoke =)
