Two Icelandic subjects in this photo: horses and abandoned farms.
The Icelandic horse is most famous for its fifth gait or tölt (gait). This fifth gait is unique to the Icelandic horse and provides a more stable and even pace, with three of the animal's legs touching the ground at the same time. You can then drink a cup of coffee without spilling it. Horses are not allowed to be imported into Iceland to prevent diseases. And once an Icelandic horse has been outside Iceland, it is not allowed to return.
And then the abandoned farms. More and more farms are empty and falling into ruins. I always find it a sad sight. There are several reasons, but the most important is that you have to work hard for a low income and especially that there are no successors. As in many countries, young people here also move to the city because that is where the employment opportunities are. Too bad for the small villages too.

Subject, the much photographed Horsey Windpump or drainage mill.
The present structure was built in 1912 on the foundations of the 18th-century Horsey Black Mill.
The windpump was working until it was struck by lightning in 1943. It was acquired by the National Trust in 1948 from the Buxton Family and has been restored. The mill's damaged sails were removed in 1956, and replacement sails and fantail were installed in 1962. The Great Storm of 1987 caused further damage, and repair works were required before the building could reopen to visitors in 1990.

Last year, I witnessed an epic sunset while returning from a brief visit to the Salton Sea. As I drove through seemingly endless crop fields, I realized I had no suitable subject to photograph. In a moment of urgency, I spotted a tree. With limited time to search for another subject, I used the tree for my shot.
Once I settled on the tree, I calmed down and grabbed my film Bronica SQ-A along with my digital camera. I used two rolls of film, moving around to frame the tree against different parts of the sky. In my earlier photos, I had captured the softer pastel colors of the sunset, but for this image, I pointed my camera directly at the setting sun, which highlighted a much bolder orange hue.
It was my first time using Fuji Velvia 50, a film known for its unforgiving nature. This made me uncertain about how the shots would turn out. Thankfully, I was pleased with the results when the film returned from the lab.

Sadly I was unable to get out with or without my camera over the weekend. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is an unpredictable beast that hijacks your plans and life. It is a disorder that also tends towards self-blame but, in a positive step from previously, I am not blaming myself for not getting out. Small wins are just as important as the large ones.
I'll try to take some photographs in the garden this week as I prepare and plan my vegetable garden for the coming spring. No pressure upon myself to do so though. Baby steps.
Take care everyone, whatever you love to take pictures of in this world.

This is the magnificent maple across the street, a favorite subject of mine. Very wet snow, a total lack of wind and temperatures just below freezing make for a lovely coating of snow on everything that is neither melting nor falling off.

This is the bath house in Saltsjöbaden in the province of Nacka on the east coast of Sweden. Sunrise in summer in Scandinavia means an early rise when you want to shoot first light. I was out of bed at 3am, that's even for me very early.

Aspens are such wonderful visual and photographic subjects. Their golden leaves in fall seem almost to be lit from within so brilliant is their color. And aspen trunks often are pictures of arboreal perfection rising straight toward the sky one after the other within huge stands covering vast areas (many acres or even square miles of aspen forest may actually be a single organism). Here though, as is often the case, it is the imperfections in these aspens--likely fostered by enduring avalanches or the peculiarities of how the snowpack presses on the trees in this small area--that elevates and distinguishes their beauty.
This shot is from an awesome, pandemic-cautious, trip a few weeks ago through the autumn splendors of central Colorado with Josh Krasner and Sky Matthews, and we were especially fortunate to be able to enjoy some of the trip with Josh's family. Special thanks to Josh and his family for everything they did to make the trip happen and for sharing some of this grand adventure with us!
Our circuitous route on this trip took us to Telluride near peak aspen color, and being photographers, these famed curved aspens found their way onto our list of things to explore. It is rare in our modern world for anything to be kept secret, but some quick searches for the location of these trees revealed only some clues but nothing specific, which added considerably to the fun in finding them among the endless stunning scenes offered by Colorado's mountains on a crisp fall morning. The typical phrase used to describe their location is something like "in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado" and I will leave it at that here too so others can share in the interest of the search as well as the enjoyment of seeing them.
Thanks for viewing!

The Split Point lighthouse at Aireys Inlet is always a wonderful subject to photograph from different perspectives. This image was taken just before a storm hit the area, luckily made it back to the car just before it pelted down.
GROUP: LOOKING CLOSE... ON FRIDAY!
THEME: BUBBLES
SUBJECT: DISH SOAP AND WATER
(and a straw to blow (slowly) the bubbles)
You laughed and asked whether I was waiting for a good subject. I was indeed. Street are so much nicer with people on them. If we didn't know already, we figured out the hard way this past couple of years.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and comments, they are always appreciated :)
________________________________________________
I make myself a rule of publishing only portraits I honestly think their subjects would like. However, if you'd rather not see yourself here, let me know (www.flickr.com/people/matthiasrabiller/), and I'll remove the image from my stream. Besides, I might have made pictures of you that you'd like to have but have (not) yet appeared on this page. Maybe I messed up, maybe it's not developped yet... don't hesitate co contact me I'll let you know.
Aus Prinzip veröffentliche ich nur Portraits, wovon ich denke, dass sie ihren Subjekt gefallen würden. Wenn sie ihr Bild jedoch hier nicht sehen möchten können sie mich natürlich anschreiben (www.flickr.com/people/matthiasrabiller/), ich werde dann das Bild schnellstmöglich löschen. Habe ich von ihnen ein Bild gemacht, das sie haben möchten, aber (noch) nicht hier veröffentlicht wurde? Vielleicht habe ich bei diesem Bild auf irgendeiner Weise versagt, vielleicht ist es einfach noch nicht veröffentlicht... schreiben sie mich einfach an, und ich werde ihnen sagen wie es steht, bzw. ihre unveröffentlichte Bilder zukommen lassen.

These are the bristles of a very colorful and funky hairbrush.
Strobist info:
The brush was illuminated by one Nikon SB900 speedlight with snoot, 40-degrees CR, 6" above camera level, and pointed down at subject at a 40-degree angle.
The SB900 was fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄16 -0.7 EV power and was triggered by two PocketWizard Plus X's.

All comments regarding this picture, subject, composition, etc are welcome and appreciated. TIA.
It is nearly that time of the year again !
This image was taken exactly 1 year ago.
I wanted to focus on the balance I created within my scene with that composition, trying to have more or less the same space between the outer trunks (left and right) surrounding the middle trees.
I hope you enjoy !
TIPS for Bluebells
- GET UP EARLY : no secrets there
- Think before you shoot
- ZOOM IN to refine your subject
- Simplify & balance your scene
- Clean the edges of your frame
- Play with your aperture (try it wide, and low iso (if no wind))
- Select your moment (sun & fog)
MOST important : respect the nature
- Do not crush the flowers (feet / tripod)
- Stay on paths
- Do not pick the flowers
- Stay quiet for forest dwellers
- Please take beautiful photos

My bride and I pretty much always put a hummingbird feeder out at camp site when we set up. It's pretty amazing how fast the little critters will often find it, sometimes the day we set up. This little female (rufous, I believe) found it the morning after I set up and hung around all 4 days I was at Gold Lake in Plumas County California.
I shot this frame messing around a bit with the electronic shutter on my newest camera which is a mirrorless body. Shooting fast moving stuff with the electronic shutter doesn't always work because of a phenomenon known as "rolling shutter." Basically, the camera is actually capturing multiple frames simultaneously. It does this by capturing one line at a time from top to bottom of the sensor very quickly, but not quite as quickly as the actual exposure time (in this case 1/800 of a second). Therefore, unlike the normal mechanical shutter that opens pretty much all at once, exposes all at once, and closes, movement happens as different parts of the frame are exposed. This is fine for stationary subjects but generally undesirable for fast moving subjects and can result in some really freaky distortion (I got a couple frames where the bird turned and it looked like a wing was detached from the body). However, in the case of a bird on the wing while straight at the camera it can result in some interesting motion blur like I think happened here.
For Macro Mondays theme: "Details from my neighborhood." I must admit that this theme presented a challenge, since I am surrounded by nothing but millions of acres of forest. But it was fun looking for subject matter. HMM to all of the talented photographers in this group. I am always amazed at your work.
*(This whole image took in an area of about 1 - 1/2" wide by 1" tall. I had to dig a little hole in the ground to set my camera in, to capture this. )
"Due to the shrike's small size in proportion to the size of its prey, it must rely on specialized adaptations to facilitate its hunting. ... Larger prey are subjected to impaling, in which they are pushed down into a sharp projection, such as a thorn or barbed wire."
In addition to subject, many of my archives are organized by date and/or season. I remember taking this photo: a winter day by Sulphur Spring Pond on Mt. Diablo. I liked the leaves just before leaving those "branches" barren, plus the sky was tinged with a little purple (probably from a fire in the area).
I don't know what leaves they are. I have one app that reads this as "Bastard-cedar" (Guazuma ulmifolia), but I doubt that. In those days - 10 years ago - I wasn't such a stickler for ID other than for birds. I saw something that came close to "art," and it was, as many December days are and were, a little bleak. Any port in the storm.
And, no, this was not my first image of leaves. That would have been an aspen at Navajo Lake, Utah in 1968. I could have found it, but it would be on a slide, and that's just a little too much trouble.

This is Jack Frost, my English Cream Retriever (official breed is English Cream Golden Retriever, but that name seems to contradict itself).
The weekly theme is "High Key," of which I think Jack makes a great subject. Don't let him fool you, he's rarely sitting still like that. I have my son Zack doing his best to hold Jack still as he stares at the treat I'm holding under the camera lens.

In my balcony garden, I have had great success with a plant commonly known as the African Daisy or osteospermum. They come in a variety of colors and shapes and the one I have is the more common purple colored flowering plant that I picked up from our local garden shop. Being in LA the plant displays its very vivid flowers throughout the year and requires very little watering. Over the years I have noticed that the flowers of the plant are very reactive to the sun and in the winter months will only go full blossom while the sun is shining on them. I also noticed that if it rains for a couple of days at a stretch the flowers tend to change their color to a burnt orange color tone before wilting away. The gradation of these two colors on the flower is often spectacular but as you can imagine this is quite a rare occurrence in LA.
So, when it rained for almost a whole week, I had hope and my African Daisy delivered. I also decided to check the usage of a new gadget I acquired quite cheaply called the macro slider. This image is a stacked focus image of over 15 images that were stacked using Helicon Focus software. It was a painful process and I learned how methodical you must be to take a stacked macro shot of such a small subject. I am really happy about the way this turned out and by the final image. I’d love to take more images like this using the focus stacking technique.
This was a normal oblong & I can't decide which i prefer. A friend suggested a panoramic crop, which I like too. Thoughts please.

I'm sorry to keep ULing file photos this week. I haven't picked up my camera for anything but the paper in days. Although I will say that looking through old photos with new eyes has me liking shots that I previously hated. I think you all should try it. ;)
And just as a side bit of trivia, this is one of the apples from the light bulb shot awhile back. It's always good to make the most of one's subject and one's money -- especially when ruining perfectly good produce by screwing light bulbs into it.
La imagen del Cristo de la Agonía fué encargada por la Venerable Orden Tercera de San Francisco al escultor murciano Francisco Salzillo en 1773 y estrenada en la Semana Santa de 1774.
El Miércoles Santo y el Viernes Santo es sacado en procesión por las calles de Orihuela portado por la Oreden Franciscana y Seglar y M.I. Mayordomía de Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno.
Se considera como una de las máximas realizaciones de Salzillo en el tema de la Crucifixión. Es venerada en la Capilla de Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno (Convento Padres Franciscanos) en Orihuela.

The image of Christ on the agony was commissioned by the Venerable Third Order of San Francisco sculptor Francisco Salzillo Murcia in 1773 and premiered at Easter 1774.
Holy Wednesday and Good Friday is taken in procession through the streets of Orihuela carried by the Secular Franciscan oreder MI Stewardship of Our Father Jesus of Nazareth.
It is considered as one of the highest achievements of Salzillo on the subject of the Crucifixion. It is venerated in the Chapel of Our Lord Jesus Nazareno (Monastery Franciscan Fathers) in Orihuela.
