Striving for that perfect black and white flower shot, whatever that might be.

 

I am not a "flower photographer", but I do enjoy the challenge of getting a good flower shot. And while I don’t always know what kind of flower I am shooting, on a good day, I can usually tell a rose from a daisy.

 

I still remember this tree years later, and it took me much longer to process this shot than I'd expected. It's not perfect, but it conveys the message I felt well when I first saw this guy striving for life in old age and after weathering many storms. It's on an exposed ridgeline in Patagonia, and as anyone who's been there during a storm knows... this guy has seen some insane conditions and lived through it all.

Tra due individui, l'armonia non è mai scontata, deve essere continuamente conquistata.

The fields of poppy next to Großglattbach are a fixed date in my landscape photography calender. This has been my fifth visit this season. When I took the shot, all the flowers were in full bloom and there was some nice golden light, striving over the landscape.

Looking close... on Friday! theme : Flowers in Unexpected Places

 

Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments

Nestled in the quiet Frogner neighbourhood, the Vigeland Sculpture park is home to Gustav Vigeland’s unique creations and the world’s largest sculpture park by the same artist.

 

The sculptures symbolize every aspect of human life.

 

All 212 statues depict human beings of different ages, sexes and sizes, stuck in different and sometimes perplexing poses. Vigeland wanted his statues to capture all the aspects of a person’s life, both in a literal and in a metaphorical sense. And he made them all naked, so that they remain timeless.

 

Vigeland Park is, in itself, an open-air museum. But there’s also an actual museum, located just outside the park in the space where Gustav Vigeland used to live and work, which most people either neglect to visit or are not even aware it’s there in the first place. (But it is definitely, positively worth a visit !!)

The Monolith stands at the highest point in Vigeland Park, and measures 17 meters above ground. The sculpture is carved out of one stone block, hence the name. The stone was originally shot out of the quarry in Iddefjord, Norway, and transported to the park during the late 1920s.

 

The sculpture depicts 121 human figures clinging and floating together. There's women and men of different ages, and the top of the Monolith is crowned with children. The sculpture has been interpreted as a kind of vision of resurrection, and our longing and striving for spirituality.

So much of life is about striving, reaching for something.

Ehrenfels Castle (German: Burg Ehrenfels) is a ruined castle above the Rhine Gorge near the town of Rüdesheim am Rhein in Hesse, Germany. It is located on the steep eastern bank of the river amid extended vineyards. The grape variety Ehrenfelser is named after the castle.

It was (re-)built about 1212 at the behest of the Archbishop of Mainz as a defensive work against the constant attacks by Elector Palatine Henry V, who, as Imperial vicar of Franconia, strived to cut down the archbishop's reach. Mainz staffed the castle with Burgmannen and erected a customs post controlling the shipping on the Rhine, supplemented by the Mouse Tower below at the river. Heavily damaged in the course of the Thirty Years' War, the castle was finally devastated by French troops under the command of Lieutenant General Nicolas Chalon du Blé during the 1689 Siege of Mainz.

It's Milky Way season here in the Southwest. But pretty soon, we will be chasing waterfalls as the snow melts and gentle rays return to the Pacific Northwest. In photography, timing is one of the key factors to a great image. There is a lot of planning that goes into it and getting to the right places at the best times is something we always strive for on our workshops.

See you in the wild!

He always seems that real life is about to begin but every time there was a ordeal to overcome an obstacle in the way must be passed, the work to be done, religion must be paid, and time must be spent, so life begins, but I finally came to understand that these things were Life is

Han ser alltid ut til at virkeligheten er i ferd med å begynne, men hver gang det var en prøvelse for å overvinne et hinder i veien må passeres, arbeidet som skal gjøres, religion må betales, og tid må tilbringes, så livet begynner, men livet begynner, men Jeg kom endelig til å forstå at disse tingene var livet er

-Strive to be original-

“All strive for victory. But not all understand what it truly is. To a soldier or pilot on the line, victory is surviving the current battle. To a politician, victory is an advantage one can bring to a bargaining table. To a warrior, victory is driving an enemy from the field of battle, or bringing him to surrender.

Sometimes victory is greater than the warrior could ever hope for. Sometimes it is more than he is able to hear.”

- Thrawn

 

It all started almost two months ago with an idea. Make something for May 4th (I’m late, I know, but cut me some slack). Me and Jan, the Creator are both big fans of the Imperial architecture seen in the Star Wars universe and wanted to do something large in size. After some hours of researching, looking through many concept arts and designs, the plans were put together and we set out to build our creations.

 

~ Platform ~

The starting point for me here was the platform on which the custom Tie Fighter (designed by Jerac) and many minifigs are standing on. One piece of concept art / Imperial structure we found was a large landing platform on Kashyyyk. To get the shaping right, a combination of corner slopes, hinges and many larger tiles were used to get the look. Since the surrounding area was to be terrain, I went with Dark Orange as the color for the ground. I purposefully left this area more flat and basic to leave attention towards the base. I also wanted a small area below the platform to store speeders which also helps break up the bottom area, giving it some action.

 

~ Base ~

The base itself was built in two main sections and some medium sized segments at the top. Walls here uses various tiles in LBG and DBG to form this Imperial architecture design. Was quite a challenge later on with the lack of tiles in certain areas so I had to get creative in how I would spread them. Instead of just using regular tile, I also made use of sandwhich tiles, corner faucet cut tiles and some snot to built up this area. Lots of other elements were used for detail including some DBG frames that I attached to tiles to create this column in the middle wall. The key thing while working on this was to keep a balance of simplicity and detail, something that can get lost while working on a larger creation. As we get to the top, you can see more detail and extras, like crates and dishes that populate this area.

 

~ Minifigs ~

The last thing I want to discuss is the minifigs used throughout the build. The Imperial selection of officers, troopers and crew is very extensive so once again, keeping a balance was important. Me and Jan wanted to include characters like Grand Admiral Thrawn and Moff Tarkin to give these creations a bit more purpose. Perhaps they’re here to inspect something new, here for a strategy session, the point is these two give a presence, even with being two small minifigs. The Death Troopers additionally work well to complement those, giving you once again the feeling that there are things at work here.

A tree, struggling for life by the look of it, adds a bit of contrast to the Mountains of the Coulin Forest as seen from the road through Glen Torridon, the northern face of Maol Chean-dearg prominent in the middle of the picture.

The small dark green tree certainly got it!
