Hey there, folders. I have uploaded a new tutorial for my simple flower design. Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ3R1xFbcUA
So in this one there is not the interesting blue background. This just has that simple side light to distinguish between the guitar and the background.
Today just a simple cornflower - i love them. :o)
Maybe i will be offline for the next days. Some interesting photo shootings are waiting - have a great time. :o)

Western style breakfast in Japan is not my thing, obviously it was someone else’s idea to fly to Japan so we can have western food. Their stuff isn’t so bad, and I do love all food that is delicious, but travelling all the way to Japan, and then, well, you know what I’m saying. XD
It is hard not to bump into one of Skylark Group’s chain stores. After all, there are almost a thousand of ガスト café restaurants around town and there are around three thousand restaurants under Skylark domestically and overseas. I suppose that is one of the reasons why they just hired McDonald’s former president Ralph Alvarez as their chairman. Pretty sure he knows how to run a large corp like this one with his experiences from previous training. Me, I like to keep it simple, stupid! In another words, I like to KISS. V^O^V
Le 31 janvier 1971 commença la troisième mission sur le sol lunaire et la huitième du programme Apollo. Les astronautes Roosa et Mitchell accompagnaient le commandant Shepard qui à 47 ans allait être l'astronaute le plus âgé à marcher sur la Lune. Leur mission était celle initialement dévolue à Apollo 13, un vol qui avait failli tourner au cauchemar en avril 1970. Shepard et ses collègues devaient explorer une région accidentée, formée par une accumulation d'éjectas provenant de l'impact météoritique à l'origine de la formation de la mer des Ombres. L'objectif principal de la mission : récolter des échantillons près du Cone Crater et le long du trajet. Même si le LEM s'est posé le plus près possible du cratère, il restait environ 1300 mètres à parcourir à pied, avec un dénivelé d'environ 100 m.
Le Modular Equipment Transporter (MET), ou encore lunar tool cart, est un chariot conçu par la NASA en 1970, pour le transport de l'équipement et des échantillons de roches à la surface de la Lune. C’est un chariot à 2 roues surmontées de garde-boue pour éviter des soulèvements de poussière lunaire, qui est très collante. De type "pousse-pousse" le MET est constitué d'une structure tubulaire (en aluminium), de 2 pieds sur l'avant pour assurer une bonne stabilité à l'arrêt, et d'un bras d'extension avant avec une simple poignée pour le tracter. Il pèse 13,6 kg, peut transporter jusqu'à 160 kg et ses dimensions sont : 2,184 m de long, 0,990 m de large et 0,812 m de haut. Les deux pneus en caoutchouc (10 cm de large et 40,6 cm de diamètre) sont remplis d’azote et ont été conçus par Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company et répondent au petit nom de Experimental Lunar Tires (XLT). Goodyear a résolu le problème de pression manométrique en demandant à la NASA de gonfler partiellement la chambre à air avec de l'azote, de sorte qu'elle atteigne 1,5 psi sur la Lune. Les limites de fonctionnement des pneus du MET sont de - 56,66° C à 121,11° C.
Bien que décrite comme « adéquate », la performance du MET a déçu les astronautes Shepard et Mitchell à travers le terrain lunaire accidenté, le MET ayant tendance à rebondir dans tous les sens, obligeant les astronautes à adopter une marche « terrienne lente » et plus fatigante que les « sauts de kangourou », plus efficaces en faible gravité. Ils ont même dû porter ensemble le MET car il était trop difficile de le tirer. Ce sera la première et la dernière fois que cette remorque sera utilisée, les missions suivantes offrant l'utilisation du rover lunaire.
On January 31, 1971 began the third mission on the lunar ground and the eighth of the Apollo program. Astronauts Roosa and Mitchell accompanied Commander Shepard, who at 47 was going to be the oldest astronaut to walk on the moon. Their mission was that of Apollo 13, a flight that almost turned into a nightmare in April 1970. Shepard and his colleagues had to explore a rugged region, consisting of an accumulation of ejecta from the meteorite impact at the origin of the formation of the Sea of Shadows. The main objective of the mission is to collect samples near the Cone Crater and along the way. Even though the LEM landed as close as possible to the crater, there remained about 1300 meters to walk, with a vertical drop of about 100 m.
The Modular Equipment Transporter (MET), or lunar tool cart, is a cart designed by NASA in 1970 to transport equipment and rock samples to the Moon's surface. It is a two-wheeled trolley topped with mudguards to prevent lifting of lunar dust, which is very sticky. Rickshaw type MET consists of a tubular structure (aluminum), 2 feet on the front to ensure good stability at rest, and a front extension arm with a simple handle to pull it. It weighs 13.6 kg, can carry up to 160 kg and its dimensions are: 2.184 m long, 0.990 m wide and 0.812 m high. The two rubber tires (10 cm wide and 40.6 cm in diameter) are filled with nitrogen and have been designed by Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company and answer to the small name of Experimental Lunar Tires (XLT). Goodyear solved the pressure problem by asking NASA to partially inflate the tube with nitrogen, so that it reaches 1.5 psi on the moon. The operating limits of the MET tires are - 56.66 ° C to 121.11 ° C.
Although described as "adequate", the MET's performance disappointed astronauts Shepard and Mitchell across the rugged lunar terrain, with the MET tending to bounce back and forth, forcing astronauts to adopt a "slow earth" march and more tiring as "kangaroo jumps", more effective in low gravity. They even had to wear the MET together because it was too difficult to shoot. This will be the first and last time this trailer will be used, with the following missions offering lunar rover use.
A simple touch .. could make magical things .. !!
it could simply play the symphony of beauty .. on the soul's violin ..
"It's the sound of the rain
Coming down when you fall asleep
It's a call from a friend
That you love but never get to see
All the time you can waste
Tryna chase what you'll never need
Hope you come back around to simple things"
Recuerdo alguna ocasión que cierto dia, hablando contigo te expresaba mi confusion a lo que era simple y dificil al mismo tiempo de explicar, sobre aquella noche en que ni un solo parpadeo era suficiente para distraerme de lo difícil que me era pensar a lo que tan posiblemente fue verdad y que simplemente no la percibi ,pues fue ese instante en que el cielo, tu buscaste insistentemente hallar en el…. la forma de un corazon a nuestro amanecer , queria huir de ese momento tan cursi , tan difícil de evadir y tan simple de contemplar . , fue quiza la decisión trillada de colgar mis tenis sobre los cables que tensan aquella verdad disfrazada que guarde dentro de ellos , con la intencion de que si permanecia en un lugar alto , jamas la pudieses alcanzar , me fue difícil reflexionar en lo que era inevitablemente me fue tan simple de negar , no contaba con la astucia …..de que aquel simple amanecer , que con su simpleza cotidiana , destapo con sus primeros rayos de luz , fue entonces que ambos caimos en cuenta, de que la verdad no se puede ocultar con el difícil silencio colgante de un amanecer , por que simple y llanamente , no existe tal verdad que soporte tanto tiempo vivir colgada en el cielo .

I’m also now displaying my work at 500px
I’ve taken many pictures of this fresh water post, in Swanage bay, but I thought I’d try something a little different this time. I’ve seen many great minimalist images, usually taking advantage of snow or fog to create scenes that have cut out all the details, leaving the scene with just the basics, which are very effective. Without the aid of these conditions I’ve used a long exposure to smooth the water and sky, and darkened the sand in photoshop/silver efex. I’m not sure if I’ve achieved the simplicity I had in mind but it’s something I haven’t tried before-so I’m counting it as a win!
