Same shot as last week. But I lowered the clarity a lot and inverted it.
Because of my angle to the water the reflected kid looks different from the other kid. The stick ie looks like it has been moved. A Lucky Luke effect:p
The eye is tricked because it thinks the line of level should be the pier. Funny. I did not get it when I shot it.
I have to investigate this further.
Same bird, shoot again !
As I love this bird, I couldn't resist publishing another photo of him...

( Welcome ..... nice to have you here. )
Walter Schrempf's blueprint of the building was the winner of an architecture competition in the year 1963. Then, he invited Otto Herbert Hajek to reshape his draft artificially to overcome the comtemporary paradigmatic sobriety of the 1960's. The realisation of the building started in 1966, after Hajek had presented his version to the commission of the university.
The result of the architect’s and sculptor’s collaboration is a functional modern architecture, which opens up to the technical age and uses new materials, and is also a space sculpture at the same time. Naked concrete contrasts with a vivid coloration through yellow, red and blue surfaces. Geometric elements, which are arranged like a box, determine the spatial effect. The interior is divided by plastic concrete elements in various large levels and units.
The building has been built as a "Student House" in which all services for the students are included: dining hall, administration for the students services like financial support, recreational facility, theatre hall, café, event room. All these functions are still existing today.
The building is a historical monument.

Same location and pov from my previous upload.
This one is so much colder due to the heavy frost in the background on this day.
Polaroid Week Day 5 pic 1
SX-70 - a saved one that was lying around in a cellar for some ten years. Broken, rusty and all nasty looking. Until I had courage to repair it finally. After some tinkering, it's a nice looking camera now. The frame counter still does not work, the dark slide is not ejected automatically, and it overexposes quite a bit. But it's back to life now.
Same editing to the one I uploaded last week. Just a different angle and posing.

Saturday, 24 January 2015, was a great day for seeing the tiny, popcan-sized Northern Pygmy-owl in Fish Creek Park. This species is rare to uncommon in Alberta. For once, I was up really early so that I could go on a birding walk, which was being held at the same location. Other than the usual Black-capped Chickadee. Nuthatches and Downy Woodpeckers, the two main species that we saw were the Pileated Woodpecker (a male and a female together) and a very distant Cooper's Hawk. When we were at the furthest spot, we got news that the Northern Pygmy-owl had appeared. When we got back to the start, we found a lot of photographers who were all lined up with their enormous camera lenses pointed upwards.
After getting back to where the owl was and seeing it on several different branches that were not particularly easy to photograph, it suddenly flew down to the mass and tangle of bushes right where all the photographers were standing. A few people knelt or lay down in the cold, melting snow so that they could get a better view through the thin branches. There was no way I could do that, so my view was not good. However, as far as actually seeing the owl at such close quarters was concerned, it was a great chance. All my photos, except this one and maybe two or three others, were no good at all and need to be deleted : ( It was amazing to see this tiny bird of prey up close, and it was really good to see how at ease it seemed. Most definitely a case of the owl coming to where we were, and not a case of photographers trying to get as close as possible. I did remove a very thin branch that lay over the forehead, close to the eye on the left. Can't remember if the owl had just caught a Meadow Vole before I took these photos or whether it caught one and then flew up into a thin, forked branch where it posed beautifully along with its catch.
Eventually, it was time to go home, especially as I had originally come to the park for the 3-hour bird walk. Some people do this all the time and I don't know how they manage to do it. It requires so much patience, and an awful lot of "free" time.
"Northern Pygmy Owls are 'sit and wait' predators, that hunt mainly by vision, diving down onto prey on the ground and driving the talons into the prey's throat. They will also attack birds in shrubs, crashing into the hapless victims. Most prey is carried off in the feet to feeding sites. Birds are usually plucked before being consumed. They often eat only the brains of birds and the soft abdomen of insects. One of these little owls can carry prey weighing up to 3 times its own weight.
The Northern Pygmy Owl feeds on a wide range of small prey including small mammals, birds, and reptiles and amphibians. Voles make up the bulk of their diet, with birds comprising most of the rest (mainly songbirds, but as large as a California Quail). Other small mammals include shrews, mice, chipmunks, bats, moles, young rabbits, and weasels. Insects may be very important when they are most abundant. Other prey taken are toads, frogs and small lizards and snakes.
During winter, surplus prey is cached in a cavity, often in large quantities. Summer caches are usually much smaller.
Pellets are very small, averaging about 3cm long. They are formed only occasionally as these owls don't consume large amounts of fur, feathers, or bone. The pellets tend to fall apart shortly after ejection." From OwlPages.
The Finale
So you have probably been wondering what the days and weeks mean. It actually was not supposed to be this way. Starting back in February or March, I almost completely lost the will to post. I had images from October, November, and December that were in Lightroom that I had not even looked at since the day I took them. I had a camera roll and multiple notes filled with random photos, train symbols, and all sorts of information that had no meaning until I actually associated the information with something. It was also at this time I felt fairly discouraged. From December 23 to March 16, the day before I went out again, I had only been out twice. I believe February saw one single sunny, cloudless day in the Gorge this year, a day in which I had class. There was a day that called for sun and no clouds, and I actually drove out before sunrise, planning to shoot all day only to arrive in Hood River as the sun came up to a solid sheet of clouds. I turned right around and came home. February is up there as being on of my favorite months to shoot, and I expected multiple outings this year, only to come away with none.
So anyway, about a month ago, I thought I would motivate myself to edit and post the stuff I hadn’t looked at for a few months. As much as I wish I never had to post the images, I knew that if I saved up all my favorites at the same time, it would make the posting more interesting for me. I created a note that listed in order which images I would post and what needed to be said. The list was roughly 21 images, and I thought it would make sense to do one a day, so I opted to keep the title and everything the same as it is in my notes when I post here. I guess I felt the need to explain because I do not want anyone getting the wrong idea here. By no means do I think my images are any better than anyone else’s. It was simply for me to organize my thoughts and make it easier for me to actually share some of my adventures with you all. There are plenty of amazing photographers that have come before me and who will come after me, and as someone who has only been shooting for about 4 years now, I have a long way to go before I have the right to make any claims about what’s good and what’s bad. I like looking at cool stuff, you like looking at cool stuff, and that is exactly how I want to keep it. If you made it this far, let’s add some context to what exactly you are looking at.
This is BNSFs Oregon Trunk Subdivision. Minus all the CTC upgrades within the last few years, this whole piece of railroad feels a bit like a time capsule. Estimates in the early 2000s put the traffic levels for this line somewhere in the teens or low 20s, numbers that are nowhere in sight today, and quite frankly, numbers that will never exist. The line, running south out of Wishram, WA to Chemult, OR, where it meets with the UP Cascade Subdivision, sees about 4-6 trains a day. Seeing trains in good light on this line is incredibly challenging. There is a reason that this shot, which is fairly accessible to anyone who hikes and is not afraid of heights, is scarcely seen given how photogenic it is. If the searchlights and pole line were not removed, this line would almost feel a bit like Raton is now. The road into here is actually the old ROW for the competing company (backed by Edward Harriman) that built along the eastern side of the Deschutes River Canyon. You can find abandoned infrastructure in a few places in the canyon.
Within the first 71 miles, there are 3 sidings, 2 real ones. The first siding, being Moody at MP5, is 4329 feet and has rarely ever been used. The first real siding is Oakbrook at MP38.4, being 6232 feet in length. Dixon, at MP 70, is 5469 feet, and the sidings continue from here at regular 20 mile or so intervals all the way to Chemult. Every train through here is very short, almost every single one is a manifest, and the speeds are very slow. A few more trains per day and it would almost be perfect. What you are looking at is a location known as the Twin Bridges. Instead of following the curvature of the Deschutes, the railroad crosses the river, through a tunnel, and then crosses it again immediately upon leaving the portal. The train originated from the ballast pit at “Missile Base”, a location on the Lakeside Sub. It is running to the yard at Lookout, CA, presumably for a maintenance project on the Gateway. This is, perhaps, about as peaceful a rail line you will find.
As for the current Favorites Series, it will be something I continue in the future, but this will be it for a little bit. All I have is worthless junk again, some of which I will throw around here and there. It has been fun. Thanks for viewing. Until next time.

Same day, same underexposed roll...
LOMO Lubitel 166 B and its T-22 lens, Kentmere 100 in Rodinal 1+50 for 18min @ 21°C and digitalized using kit zoom and extension tubes.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and comments, they are always appreciated :)
Took photos and pasted them them together. deleted a fellow photographer on the bottom by flipping the bottom of the pool to the right. The structure on Nik Software and played with the levels on a layer basis. High pass sharpness in the end, which is basically duplicating a layer, use the overlay filter then the high pass effect.
I think I used some glow effect from the Nik Software but I am not sure, I like it since it kind of fills the colors where they are grayish or dull.
This is another vertical version of the same wooden staircase of Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), Toronto, Ontario, Canada I posted earlier.

I got this picture at Zhujiajiao, Shanghai, China. I found this interesting view where another arch of the same color was inside the arch of the bridge in front of me.

Taking my film cameras out of my storage...
Film camera ZENIT-E, Lens HELIOS-44-2 58 mm f/2.0,
KENTMERE PAN BLACK and WHITE FILM ISO 100.
(The plots and location may be the same..., but cameras and lenses are different...)
To my surprise, the bedding didn't look the same inside the box as it did on the outside. I'm pretty used to it but it still bugg me. I kind of liked the boxart's variation with the minute dots, but.... I love the real thing even more!
A dreamy bed in pink. What could go wrong?
Same individual as this previous shot.
I was chasing Autumn Meadowhawk dragonflies in the fallen leaves near a pond at the Montreal Botanical Garden, when I unexpectedly came across this Spotted Spreadwing (Lestes congener) damselfly! It's one of my favorite species, and this individual was calm and fairly cooperative.
Usual suspects: Pentax D-FA 100mm F/2.8 WR Macro plus Raynox DCR-250, with off-camera diffused Godox V850ii flash. Six-frame handheld focus stack with EXIF from the first frame. ~20MP free crop to roughly 16:10 apect ratio.
UPDATE: Explored for Nov 7th, at #54! One of my highest Explore rankings! (And sitting at #65 as I type this.)

Same flower species that produced yesterday's seed head. The Western Anemone begins its flowering stage low to the ground, often at the edge of the melting snowpack. I made this shot during a backpacking trip in the rugged and remote Cascade Recreation Area, adjacent to Manning Park. No services, and tough hiking - even for a forty-year old who was reasonably fit.
I used the manual focus Nikon 105mm macro with an extension tube for closer focusing, camera on tripod.
This concludes the somewhat nostalgic look back at my BC years (for now). Tomorrow, a more recent adventure (from last week).
