I think this will be the final shot from a string of photos captured in late November. I was on the road that day and stumbled upon this abandoned homestead. Looking back, I should have been more careful while wandering around, as it was hunting season in the Midwest. Luckily, no stray rounds that day.
"The Root of It"
Happy Earth Day, though I think we should be celebrating and focusing on earth every day! I spent some time today in the garden thinking about what images came to mind around earth, the natural world, what we do it.
I wanted to create an image that showed the power of nature, that it powers us, it can power us. That plants can power us, that nature can be a light and a force in our life, that it can break through and bring life back.
I hope you're able to celebrate the earth in your own way today. Spend some time outdoors, go for a walk, eat some fresh fruit or vegetables, listen to the birds. Do what you can to help our beautiful planet.

When you hear this chorus
Do you miss the way the world was spinning for us?
Do you hurt the way that I do
After all the time you leave me broken
This song is every word I've left unspoken
When you hear this I'm hoping that you'll think of us.

YEAH DUH.

I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.

This is from a drive home from work back in January. It's another one of those shots that just got forgotten in a file. I'm not positive, but I think that is Castle Mountain to the left of centre. Can any of you confirm that for me?
It is a place I don't think I'll ever visit again. It is truly beautiful but absolutely packed with tourists. I paid for a pro photographers tour hoping to be able to spend some time in there but it is now sadly a production line. In 2 hours I managed to get about 6 shots with no one in them. Even this one I've had to clone out a couple of bits.
I couldn't think of a better title for this one. I could relate to title, however.
Less than a dozen horses grazed in a grazing area near my home. I often pass them on the way to Lake Elsinore, the city lying just south of where I live. I used Kerstin Frank Art Texture Paintstroke for editing purposes.
Wake up, Maggie I think I got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts - Rod Stewart
Magpies have always given me problems. If the light wasn't perfect I could count on getting no details from this bird. Today was overcast and gray but when this bird just landed on this mullein a stone's throw away I knew I had a golden opportunity. I had time for a short burst and not even a chance to zoom out before the bird was gone. It was like Maggie was having some compassion late this September before leaving.
I think this is an adorable wee picture of Asha and the Seal. Had a few seal puns in my head so just had to pick this for a Valentine's Picture. Hope you like it...

He wasn't sure about having his portrait taken, but after I showed him the shot on the back of the camera, he relaxed a little.....
Thanks for looking and / or commenting,
Best regards,

Have a positive weekend, my dear friends ... may be it´s the last one for this year !
Think Positive

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you won't.
Success begins with your own will...
It's all in your state of mind.
Life's battles are not always won
By those who are stronger or faster;
Sooner or later the person who wins
Is the person who thinks he or she can
Wish I had something to say about this shot. It's an HDR of one of my favorite intersections around madison. Oh yes, it's also a footheld 5 exposure combo. I balanced the camera on my foot.
HDR shots are fun to take and cool to look at, but they do create a lot of meaningless photography. I took this shot because I could, not because I should. But. I just can't stop looking it.
The majority of the time, I make only basic adjustments to my pictures. Usually only enough sliders to make the picture better reflect what I recall seeing when I took the picture. My recollections about a picture are no doubt influenced by what I want or think I saw; yet, most of what I adjust is pretty common stuff.
My attempts at using the bigger toys available in the photo software usually leave me feeling unsatisfied and uneasy. It's a step too far for my tastes. While I love the abstract and distorted, fully creating an image in software, or twisting an image into something else lays beyond my creative vision and ability. I'm pretty lame.
The other day I was out taking landscape pictures during a snowstorm when a scene snagged my eye. Two poplar trees, side by side, with wet snow clinging to the bark. Their trunks created a symmetry against a chaotic background of snow-covered bramble and branches. Snow was still falling heavily muting the world into a shadowless quiet. What drew me to this little spot I do not know. It was a feeling as much as anything.
Later, in the software, one of the versions of the pictures I took of the two trees made the initial cut. Then it made a second cut and I started working on it.
All of the standard things I tend to do to a picture in processing left me flat. There was a feeling taking that picture, on that day, at that time, in a snowstorm, and I wasn't feeling it as I went through my routine. So I went to bed.
During the next day I kept thinking about that picture. Could I somehow use the photo software to get close to the feeling I had when I snapped the picture? It was a discouraging question since I have only limited experience to pull from. Starting with a raw image and taking it from there to a specific result, one I could only feel, was annoying. Maybe I need to know more about my feelings; or maybe I need more technical mastery; or perhaps I should forget about it.
Finally, I went back to the picture. The process I typically relied on didn't work so I decided to reverse everything I normally do when editing a picture. Intuitively, I started using the software to soften, mute, paint. It was unnatural to me. Several times I went back and forth on a single move abandoning it to try something else. More than once, I returned to steps taken earlier to see if it'd make a difference with a new set of conditions. I walked the dog, ate something, tried to nap, turned music on and off, walked the dog again, returning the picture after each interlude.
Then I stopped. I kept looking at the image that emerged on the monitor. It had a feeling I liked but I was wary. After all, I was pretty far down the river on these two dumb trees and they'd not been a study in objectivity. Could I trust my feelings? So I went to bed.
Following a decent sleep, oatmeal breakfast, a languid coffee time, and a sub-zero walk with the dog, it was time for a fresh look at my two trees. As with so many pictures, you arrive at a take it or leave it moment. No matter what you started out to do, there's a point where there is no more you can do. In the freshness of morning, my two trees seemed good enough. To me, at least, the picture was mellow and still while holding onto the strength of forest timber. That was it.

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Joyce Kilmer
Once I was walking on the Drumadoon beach on Isle of Arran and came across this scene. I don't think there could be more favorable conditions for creating a photo.

This is in a weird way a self portrait :)
Cause I often have the feeling I am different from the people around me.
Sometimes that can be a lonely feeling but other times it's a good feeling!
The good thing about it is that my brain walks no ordinary path and comes up with the craziest ideas (photo ideas mainly!).
And there popped another crazy idea in my mind this afternoon... I'm gonna buy me a new lens today :)
Enjoy this last day before the weekend begins!

Ökologisch denken, das ist das Motto auf fünf Maschinen von der Budamar Group. Die 193 580, 581, 807, 808 und 809 werben mit verschiedenen Tieren auf den europäischen Schienen für diesen wichtigen Ansatz, der den ökologischen Vorteil der Schiene hervorhebt. Die aktuellen Entwicklungen auf dem deutschen Schienennetz sind dafür aber nicht gerade förderlich, mehr Güter auf die Schiene zu verlagern, da die dringend nötigen Neu- und Ausbauten in einem unglaublichen Schneckentempo vonstatten gehen, wodurch diese Ziele erstmal unerreichbar bleiben. Trotzdem dürfen wir uns in Deutschland glücklich schätzen, den buntesten Güterverkehr auf unserem schönen Planeten zu haben, denn wo sonst fahren so viele verschiedene Unternehmen mit so vielen verschiedenen Baureihen und Farbgebungen als in Deutschland? Mir fällt da in dieser Masse kein anderes Land ein.
Auch auf der Rheintalbahn, einer der Hauptkorridorstrecken in Deutschland, profitieren wir bzw. ich von dieser Buntheit des Güterverkehrs. So brachte die hier selten zu sehende 193 807 am 23. Februar einen Getreidezug aus Hegyeshalom nach Basel. Kurz nach der Durchfahrt des Zuges in Graben-Neudorf klickte mein Auslöser.
