Those of you who follow me on Facebook will have noticed me talking about time lapse photography lately, photography is all about freezing a moment, but through doing a time lapse you capture time, and allow it to flash before your eyes. Another benefit to setting the camera up to do a time lapse piece is that you can stack the images together so show this passage of time in a single frame.
I set my camera up beside the Sage in Newcastle to do 100 13 second exposures; I had to use a 5.6 aperture which only allowed me to get a few stars in, but any wider and I would have been over exposing the city. I used Startrails.de to stack the images together, which brought out more stars then I could actually see, however the inside of the Sage was very over exposed but luckily I had done a 3 second exposure to give me an image I could put in. I used this same image over the top of the warehouse in the bottom right to create a more flattering tone. The road underneath the Sage had lost all of its detail one 22 minutes of traffic had been layered on top of each other, so I edited in a single frame as a bus had driven past.
The last bit of editing to complete this image was to use the burn tool over the buildings, and the dodge tool over the stars. I did try cutting the Tyne Bridge in from the 3 second exposure, however the image started verging on HDR style and I decided to walk away from it, leaving the over exposed elements in, after all it is essentially a 22 minute exposure.

Edited Hubble Space Telescope image of the Ghost Nebula (IC 63), lurking around just in time for Halloween.
Original caption: Powerful gushers of energy from seething stars can sculpt eerie-looking figures with long flowing veils of gas and dust. One striking example is "the Ghost of Cassiopeia," officially known as IC 63, located 550 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia the Queen.
The nebula's ethereal glow might remind people of apparitions such as those reported by paranormal investigators. In reality, when viewed in near-infrared wavelengths, streamers of dust are reflecting light from the nearby, blue-giant star Gamma Cassiopeiae (not seen here). In this near-infrared view background stars and galaxies can be seen through the semitransparent dust clouds. A blue color was assigned to shorter infrared wavelengths in one exposure. A red color was assigned to longer infrared wavelengths in a second exposure, and the images were then combined. Hubble photographed IC 63 in August 2016.
The constellation Cassiopeia is visible every clear night from mid-northern and higher latitudes. Its distinctive "W" asterism, which forms the queen's throne, is best seen high in the sky on autumn and winter evenings. Gamma Cassiopeiae, the middle star in the W, is visible to the unaided eye, but a large telescope is needed to see IC 63.

For those of you who feel sorry for animals in enclosures, I wanted to show you a small part of the Owens Rain Forest Aviary at the San Diego Zoo. This aviary is lush and huge, as you can see in the upper left, where the roof structure begins. The curved pipes are part of one of several feeding stations, which are close to the path, but out of reach of visitors (unless you've learned the secret by watching the keepers).
The aviary contains a long, elevated path that winds around in a U-shape (part of the railing is visible in the upper left, to the right of the feeding station), exits to the outside of the enclosure, does a long switchback, goes down some stairs, then comes back in and passes through the aviary again, which is where I was standing when I made this image, shaded from the sun by the upper level of the path. Below this level is another one, on which the public is not allowed. This is about where I was standing a few weeks ago, when I learned a very important lesson about photography: be patient - stay where you are and you will, eventually, get ... crapped on by a passing bird. :-( It is also where I cheated death by hanging on to the railing, while I hand-held my camera, as I made this capture.
With luxury accommodations like these, gourmet meals like this, conveniently served on a regular basis, interesting people who are easily amused, and the best weather in the country, who could ask for more?

Vintage September 1950 issue of men’s adventure magazine, Saga - the Magazine of True Adventure. While the majority of these magazines had covers with scantily clad women and antagonists that were always depicted as less than human, there was also a segment of the genre that depicted rugged men and/or wild animal covers and actually told real stories. While I prefer the former, as an art student I could still appreciate the illustration aspect of these covers and am sharing this for those that may be interested. Looking back at it now the covers were always the best part of the magazine. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!
Sorry guys. I know I was supposed to post this yesterday, but work interfered. Anyways, here are some shots of the fleet. I'll be DLing more throgh out the next hour or so.
You can count on some individual shots of the fighters.
The Gujjar People of the Himalayan Foothills.
This is a great example of the unique style of Bakarwal Gujjar dress. Note the embroidered hat with a tail. This changes from place to place but remains unique to the Bakarwal women. The necklace is typical, a large triangle pendant with a stone in the middle, symbolic of the "evil eye" and used to ward off bad luck.

Oh those blue skies are very nice
but if you stop to think twice,
by clouds they are enhanced
and they keep us all entranced.
When fascination takes root
photographs we must shoot,
and with camera in hand
we will wander the land.
When we start to obsess
of cloudscapes to possess,
life takes on a new meaning
and there’s no time for cleaning!
The weather may be foul or fair
but there’ll still be clouds up there,
and we can take photo’s galore
then stop, to take just one more.
Of our collections we are proud
especially that elusive cloud,
and to catch an optical effect
can really make our day perfect.

"Those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, only [committing] slight ones. Indeed, your Lord is vast in forgiveness. He was most knowing of you when He produced you from the earth and when you were fetuses in the wombs of your mothers. So do not claim yourselves to be pure; He is most knowing of who fears Him."
yes its fetus -__-'' i hope you can tell.

With gratitude to those brave American service men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice defending the values we uphold and cherish. Memorial Day, May 30, 2011.
Not quite in flag colors, but there are red, white and blue. Just for the heck of it, I tried monkeying with the colors to add more red (see below).
Update 5/31: My flickr friend Norbert just sent me his skilled rendition in red, and it looks great, as if the flowers were really red! I have listed his version below.

A sweet moment with the 2 adult females and one of the 7 cubs. The 2 facing forward are the adults and the other nuzzling in moms neck is one of the male babies... The babies are almost adult size now!
I'm not going to be around for comments till the weekend. The grandkids are here till then and they have other plans for me :)
I'll catch up with you all on the weekend;-) Enjoy the rest of your week :)))
Through the generosity of the webmaster of Evergreenfleet.com (who graciously provided more than a half dozen photos of the Kalakala's main engine room), I have now been able to complete *most* of the Kalakala's main engine room details.
There are still some incomplete areas. These incomplete areas are due to a lack of available views into a certain area and a lack of research material available. For instance, in the first rendering there are large copper pipes leading up to a series of large electric pump motors from under the engine room floor.
Since the last upload, I examined some of those photos and determined there were two large tanks there, with a central Y valve leading off of the main piping assembly from both tanks.
I've modeled this area as accurate as possible given technical research limitations.
Those actual flip-flops got stolen. Who steals cheap flip-flops from Old Navy, I have no clue, but I had to go home barefoot the day they got stolen. LAME.
Just showing off Otis' kitten face. He's such a fabulous little boy. Hope his new momma (Hi, Mary!) enjoys admiring his kitten face!
Those two are actually all you need on the Playa los Muertos. A Miami Vice is a cocktail with a strawberry diaquiri and pina colada.

For those of you who follow my photostream, you know that I'm a huge fan of photographing wildife in their natural habitat. Mammals, of an assorted variety, are on my list of favorites - generally the bigger, the better.
A highlight of any given day though is capturing through the lens a mama taking care of it's young.
On this day, Annette (skippyanne) and I were lagging behind the others while driving through Dinner Island Ranch WMA in Hendry County, Florida. It's quite a remote place - so much so that even seasoned visitors must be careful driving through the usual dense fog to even arrive at our meeting location, very early in the morning. We usually attempt a sunrise first, then begin our journey into what lies ahead.
As a rule, the first car down the path gets to scout out the wildlife first, and we had several cars ahead of us, so we weren't sure of what we would find. We decided to lag behind a bit, thinking maybe something would have been spooked by the earlier cars and run out after them and in front of us. As we drove we spotted several red shouldered hawks, feral pigs, turtles, then we took sight on the bend in the road coming up. As we turned, we spotted a doe standing not far off the road nursing it's fawn. We stopped the car and I positioned myself nearby an opened car door, while Annette was able to get out and position herself behind a standing tree. The doe knew that we were there (the fawn was obvilious), but it stood there watching us and our every move. We continued to snap of images and as it began to get a bit anxious the fawn could sense it and tried to hang on as best as it could, as it clearly wasn't done feeding. However, after about 3 minutes, the doe had enough and decided to trot off, leaving the poor little fawn dangling at first, then trotting off behind it. It was such a joy to see.
The doe clearly knew that we meant no harm as it approached us again quite inquisitively, with it's fawn in tow. I remember thinking that I hope that it would learn not to do that once hunting season was opened.
Wildlife (mammals - birds excluded) can sometimes be a challenge in Florida, but are quite rewarding when they present themselves, in good view & light, especially when they are caught in the most natural behavior such as this.
On this day, being the last car paid off, as no one else had this same encounter. We both felt truly blessed. There were other wildlife sightings for us that day, but for us this is as good as we could have hoped for. Seeing a panther, a primary predator of the white-tailed deer, out there would have been awesome too, but I think that would have spoiled the tranquil moment for us.
:-)
Thanks so much for all of your comments and views.
I hope that you're having a wonderful weekend!
