The hard thing to do of course is to find a way to photograph a mundane subject or a mundane event in a way that makes it exciting.

John Lennon wrote this beautiful song in 1971, more than 40 years ago ... it seems that some things never change:
..And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear...
John Lennon

The lowly dandelion weed makes an interesting subject under the macro lens. In the space of a several days it changes its appearance dramatically, from a very colourful yellow flower to an intricate seeding structure. This weeks images will focus on this interesting plant. This is #3 in the series of images. View On Black
The first 13 images in this set show macro images of the dandelion at various stages in its reproductive cycle. The subsequent 12 images in this set of 25 focus on the microscopic structure of this fascinating "weed".

Tips For A More Steady Shot
Nowadays' digital camera are almost all equipped with very effective Anti-shake or vibrations reduced functions. But still when it come to shoot at a closer or macro subjects you may experience blur image when you were hand held shooting.
Choose a heavier camera or lens may reduce the shaking of your hands. Because the weight of your camera can damps the vibration amplitude of the shaking.

The urban development of the banks of the Tagus River was subject to intensive development at the beginning of the 16th century, when King Manuel I built a new royal residence (the Ribeira Palace) on the river bank. The area was developed thanks to the construction of the port, shipbuilding facilities and other administrative buildings regulating trade between Portugal and other parts of the world at that time. During the reign of the King Dom Jose I, the great earthquake of 1755, followed by the tsunami and fire, destroyed most of Lisbon, including the Ribeira Palace and other buildings on the river. After the earthquake, the square was completely rebuilt. A large rectangular square in the shape of the letter "U" was designed, open towards the Tagus.
The square was called "Praça do Comércio" (Trade Square) to indicate its new function in the Lisbon economy. The central point of the square is the equestrian statue of King José I. In the direction of Augusta street, which connects the square with another traditional Lisbon Rossio square, a triumphal arch was built in 1875, called Arco da Rua Augusta.
The "Praça do Comércio" square has been recognized as a national monument of Portugal since 1910.

Rozwój urbanistyczny brzegów rzeki Tag podlegał intensywnemu rozwojowi na początku XVI wieku, kiedy król Manuel I zbudował nową rezydencję królewską (Pałac Ribeira) nad rzeką. Obszar ten rozwijał dzięki budowie portu, obiektów stoczniowych i innych budynków administracyjnych regulujących handel pomiędzy Portugalią i innymi częściami ówczesnego świata. Za panowania króla Dom José I, wielkie trzęsienie ziemi w 1755, po którym nastąpiło tsunami i pożar, zniszczyło większość Lizbony, w tym Pałac Ribeira i inne budynki nad rzeką. Po trzęsieniu ziemi plac został całkowicie przebudowany. Zaprojektowano duży, prostokątny plac w kształcie litery "U", otwarty w kierunku Tagu.
Plac nazwano "Praça do Comércio" (Placem Handlu), aby wskazać na jego nową funkcję w gospodarce Lizbony. Centralnym punktem placu jest konny posąg króla José I. W kierunku ulicy Augusta, która łączy plac z innym tradycyjnym lizbońskim placem Rossio, zbudowano w 1875 roku łuk triumfalny, nazywany Arco da Rua Augusta.
Plac "Praça do Comércio" został uznany jako narodowy zabytek Portugalii od 1910 roku.
That's our boathouse on the left which is no longer a boathouse (it has a bedroom up and a change room for swimming down) but we still call it the the boathouse. My long time Flickr friends will recognize the islands under the rainbows given they are the subject of so many of my photos. :)

Because this Blue Tiger Butterfly stayed on the Cornflower for a long time, I had the opportunity to look for various background colours. The purple halo comes from a Brunfelsia flower.
Out for a morning drive in my 1949 Chevy pickup, I came across the "Bionic Bus" which apparently belonged to Bob Wills, Jr.
Mr. Wills, a resident of Conroe, Texas when he passed away claimed to be the illegitimate son of the legendary Western Swing band leader (a claim that the Wills family denies.)
Ah...hahh!
I never tire of photographing this subject, shoreline reflections at Keefer Lake figure quite prominently in my portfolio. As the sun sets all of the colours lakeside warm and the forest's myriad greens reflect this warmth. Just a few of the many, many others from other evenings in other years are in the first comment box.

Another from that memorable session at Tar Lakes for this rare species. This was not an easy subject to get onto!
My first opportunity to photograph Mayflies for a couple of years.
As usual the breeze played havoc and made it more difficult, but these insects are such a photogenic subject!!

I like bird photography. It is obvious when bird moves, the picture gets blurry a little bit. I used 500mm lens. It is quite a long lens for the bird photography. My target is to take images as sharp as I can. The longer lens is more challenging with moving subjects. The Nikon D5 has a better autofocus system and can get sharp images like this. I hope this year I take better bird images.

The Allegory of Fame is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gerard de Lairesse (1641-1711). Gerard de Lairesse was a renowned painter and art theorist in the 17th century, known for his contributions to Dutch Classicism.
The Allegory of Fame, also known as "Fama", is one of his notable works and depicts the allegorical figure of Fame. In Greek mythology, Fame, also known as Pheme, was the personification of fame and renown. In Roman mythology, she was called Fama.
The painting typically shows a female figure with outstretched wings, symbolizing the widespread reach of her influence and reputation. She is often portrayed with a trumpet or a horn, which she uses to announce the achievements and accomplishments of individuals to the world.
Fame was a popular subject in Renaissance and Baroque art, and artists often depicted her in various poses and contexts to convey different aspects of her influence and power.
In Gerard de Lairesse's version of the Allegory of Fame, he likely imbued the composition with his distinctive style, characterized by a grand and classical aesthetic. His paintings were influenced by classical antiquity, and he was particularly inspired by the works of Italian Renaissance artists, such as Raphael and Michelangelo.
When I visited St Aidans the other day I was lucky to have bright sunny weather. The Swallows and Sand Martins were out in force so I decided to have a go at photographing them in flight. Alas this is the best of my Sand Martin photos. Now, I know they are super fast but I have seen a reasonable number of fabulous in flight photos on Flickr, so what am I doing wrong? It must boil down to my auto focus settings.
I am using AF-C with a wide focus area, a fast shutter speed with a lowish ISO. I also increased the exposure bias, in this case by 1.7. I have opened up my EXIF data, so if anyone can make any recommendations or point me in the right direction please feel free to do so. I am sure that instead of using the "Wide" focus area I have also previously tried the "Zone" setting.
Had a go at trying for a macro shot of one of these amazing little creatures. It was sitting outside my window ledge. I had good natural light which helped. I think I got as close to the spider as my lens would allow (which is 295 mm from my subject to the sensor of my camera). Worth enlarging.
Geranium endressii, commonly called Endres cranesbill or French crane's-bill, is a species of hardy flowering herbaceous or semi-evergreen perennial plant in the genus Geranium, family Geraniaceae.
It is native to the Western Pyrenees in Spain, and is cultivated as a garden subject. Growing to 75 cm (30 in) tall and broad, it has a mounding to sprawling habit, therefore is useful as groundcover in light shade. The leaves are deeply divided and the flowers are soft pink with red veins. It is very hardy, down to at least −20 °C (−4 °F) and possibly less.

……I’ve already posted ‘The Artist’ (see first comment box), so as a follow up this is ‘The Subject’ - what Holly was painting so I thought I’d show you the scene she was looking at. A lovely afternoon spent at Kestle Barton Gallery, garden & wild flower meadow. Do please check out Holly’s work. See links, well worth a peep, she is getting lots of commissions which is great news - www.instagram.com/hollyastle/# www.hollyastle.co.uk/ Many thanks Holly. ……… Alan:-)

From ancient times, tidal observation and discussion has increased in sophistication, first marking the daily recurrence, then tides' relationship to the Sun and moon.
The Long Corridor is a covered walkway in the Summer Palace in Beijing, China. The total length of the Long Corridor is 728 metres and it is decorated with more than 14,000 paintings, especially on the ceiling and its beams, which divide it into 273 sections. Along the corridor there are four octagonal pavilions. Each of these pavilions symbolises the four climatic seasons of the year. The more than 14,000 paintings have a wide variety of subjects: historical figures, famous buildings, landscapes, flowers, birds, fish, insects... Of particular importance are those depicting folk and traditional tales, fables and episodes from classical Chinese literature. As a part of the Summer Palace, the Long Corridor was included on the UNESCO World Heritage List in December, 1998.
There is no doubt that the Long Corridor is a beautiful place during the day. But it is at night, with the arrival of darkness and the lighting of the chinese lanterns, that it reaches its true splendour, creating a special atmosphere and transforming into a long, luminous and sinuous thread in the midst of the darkness. It is at night when it becomes a magical place, where stories, tales, fables, imagination... come to life and arise. Dreams and tales, in the middle of the night and darkness.

En el silencio sin aliento de las 4 a.m., en la oscuridad se encuentra un triste cliché envuelto en el azul marino de las estrellas que se desvanecen lentamente. Dime cómo llegó ésto a ser.

Duérmete y cállate, cariño. Es hora de dormir, hora de apagar la luz. Dulces sueños te esperan tras tus ojos cerrados y una manta de noche, donde las chinches no pican. Duérmete y calla hasta la mañana. Has dicho todas tus oraciones, és hora de hacerlas realidad. No te preocupes, tu papi está aquí, si lo necesitas esta noche. Tranquiliza tu mente. Descansa tus ojos y duerme bien.
