this look like the Michel Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" 45 degree lean.... this picture was taking from the world streepest street, Baldwin Street, Dunedin
Em vez de ir para a beira mar, ou para um rio, optei por fazer uma longa exposição num... canal de água.
Este canal, adjacente ao Rio Mondego, "chamou-me" diversas vezes, mas só no outro dia achei por bem ver no que dava uma foto do mesmo.
Para que tivesse algum impacto, tive que escolher uma zona onde existisse movimento na e da água. Se assim não fosse, o efeito não seria o mesmo.
Se esteticamente pode não ser nada de transcendente, pretendo de alguma forma mostrar que é possível tirar fotografias não muito longe de casa e em locais para os quais muitas vezes nem olhamos com atenção, ou que não são a nossa primeira escolha para fotografar.
Com filtro polarizador e o Lee Big Stopper (10 stops), estive à espera que a imagem surgisse no ecrã 301", o que dá qualquer coisa como 5 minutos. Tempo suficiente para tomar um café - coisa que não bebo, pelo que tive que me ocupar a olhar para a paisagem à volta. Para a próxima levo a revista zOOm para ler :))

What appear to be droopy "petals" of an individual flower, are actually ray flowers. Smooth coneflower has characteristic narrow, drooping, light pink to purplish “petals” that emerge rolled and appear string like. Eventually the “petals” fall off, but they look droopy shortly after the flowers open.

at Stephens County, GA.
Taken for "Macro Monday" theme "Rock".
This is a smooth cobble sized stone. To the naked eye it's smooth apart from the heart shaped grey piece which is actually indented. Closeup it looks anything but smooth.
Paper Art, Paper Casting entitled Smooth Stones
I am drawn to the lovely, transcendent qualities of nature. I hope to convey the peace and tranquility of a river bed with fresh water always flowing over the stones. As I carved each stone I am reminded of how unique each one of us is and that over time the water smooths out our rough edges.
This piece is composed of soft to medium shades of blue handmade strips of paper all flowing in and around the stones. They are carved from styrofoam with a handmade paper wrapping. People always tell me they think they are real stones. Flecks of mica flicker, reflecting light on the water.
Easy to hang and comes with it’s own nail.
This piece is protected with conservation varnish against fading, dirt and discoloration.

the below, from a website when I investigated this flower more thoroughly...
"It would be safe to say," says John Burroughs, "that there is a species of smilax with an unsavory name, that the bee does not visit, herbacea. The production of this plant is a curious freak of nature.... It would be a cruel joke to offer it to any person not acquainted with it, to smell. It is like the vent of a charnel-house." (Thoreau compared its odor to that of a dead rat in a wall!)

Everybody loves smooth stones. The engraved ones were a going-away gift from someone I worked with years ago.
Opheodrys vernalis
One of three adults seen crossing a forest road on a warm September afternoon in Alcona County, Michigan.
Smooth Carrion Flower (Smilax herbacea) is a perennial vine-like plant of thickets and woods. It's green flower emits an odor of rotten flesh, not to attract bees, but instead flies for pollination. Its spring blooms give way to clusters of dark berries in the summer.
The rarest British reptile, Smooth Snakes are found only on the southern heaths, mainly in Hampshire and Dorset. Being non venomous, they use constriction to subdue their prey.
Member of the Cuckoo family. Very common and widespread resident in Trinidad & Tobago (Crotophaga ani).
Interestingly, these birds live in groups of up to 5 breeding pairs and up to 17 individuals. They defend a single territory and lay their eggs in one communal nest. All group members incubate the eggs and care for the young. One member of the group keeps watch on a high perch whilst the others forage. First broods stay with their natal group and help feed the second brood! Like feathered meerkats!!
