For Macro Monday, Aug 14
Theme: high key
I'm deeply saddened by the events over the weekend and felt the need to speak of love in a visual art form, so I combined the MM theme with the message.
Love,

Enamored by the photography of the mid-nineteenth century with it's attitude toward such elements as scale, linear overlapping, and presence of space, I attempted such in this composition.
I am simply astonished at what those photographers created with their early photography cameras, lenses, and developing techniques.
Sure I took a dozen shots with the digital camera - that's the luxury of what they do... quite an abomination of artistic talent.
Only one shot worked - where the central characters are composed as a stretched diamond and suspended in a jumble of converging lines.
How the masters of the nineteenth century managed to compose their masterpieces with one shot using a view camera is beyond my comprehension.
Der Münchener U-Bahnhof Harthof: Die säulenlose Bahnsteighalle strahlt eine gewisse Nüchternheit aus, ist sie doch in ihrer Gestaltung vergleichsweise "unaufregend". Bei näherer Betrachtung fallen jedoch die durchdacht integrierte Beleuchtung und der behutsame Umgang mit Formen, Farben und Materialien auf. Die gefaltete Dachkonstruktion dient gleichermaßen als Lichtreflektor wie auch als gliederndes Element des Bahnsteigs, hat man doch das Gefühl, in einem Bauwerk mit herkömmlichen Dach zu sein. Die mit hellrosa und granatroten Glasfliesen verzierten Wände nehmen Bezug auf das kräftige rot des Linienbandes. Geplant wurde der Bahnhof vom Architektur-büro Obermeyer in Zusammenarbeit mit dem städtischen U-Bahn-Referat. Eröffnung:
20. November 1993. (Quelle: www.u-bahn-muenchen.de)
Munich’s Harthof Underground Station: The columnless platform hall exudes a certain sobriety, since its design is comparatively “inexciting. ” On closer inspection, however, the well-thought-out integrated lighting and the careful handling of shapes, colours and materials stand out. The folded roof construction serves both as a light reflector and as a structural element of the platform, since you have the feeling of being in a building with a conventional roof. The walls decorated with light pink and garnet red glass tiles refer to the strong red of the line ribbon. The station was planned by the Obermeyer architectural office in collaboration with the city’s subway department. Opening: 20 November 1993. (Source: www. u-bahn-muenchen. de)

The fascinating thing of chameleons are their eyes. They could be moved in every different direction. So they could watch back and forward at the same time!

*Esta exposición fotográfica reúne un torrente de imágenes representativas de las comunidades rurales de la India y cautiva por la calidad compositiva y la viveza de sus imágenes. De la mano de la fotógrafa CRISTINA GARCÍA RODERO descubrimos la mirada de sus gentes y nos adentramos en un paisaje que parece suspendido en el tiempo.
La muestra ahonda en lo más sensible y mágico del mundo femenino y en la fuerza y capacidad de superación de las mujeres de Ananpur (Andhra Pradesh). La fotógrafa se acerca a ellas con un respeto reverencial.
La autora transita por un entorno de veredas encharcadas y claroscuros, buscando siempre en las profundidades de sus personajes para adentrarse en historias de la vida que enaltecen la condición humana.
A través de su obra, nos propone una particular forma de ver la India, un mundo complejo y fragmentado. Cada fotografía construye un código visual coherente y, sobre todo, trascendente.
*Presentación local/ Diputación de Guadalajara
*Comentario:
El arte de CRISTINA, entrañable, traduce de las imágenes, lo que ella sabe ver en lo que mira, para hacerlo ver a su vez. En un terreno duro, donde la vida transita sin versos, la dignidad no pierde altura, aliviando el peso al que confronta, invitando a la proximidad, desconociendo el rechazo
"If you want to express yourself you must present something tangible. But after a while this has only the function of a historic document. Objects aren't very important any more. I want to get to the origin of matter, to the thought behind it." Joseph Beuys, 1969. Ignore the Exif data, this shot was done with the Helios 44M-7 wide-open.
I must admit this hasn’t been the first time to have experienced this unique bonding, when the bird accepted my presence and wouldn’t fly away. Call it “interspecies communication" if you wish, or telepathy - I don’t know (smile).
After taking a few good shots with my 400mm f5.6, I have decided to take the chance and switch lenses, for a shallower DOF. The cute owl didn't move a bit. I must admit having experienced a feeling of acceptance and trust. I gave the owl its space by not getting too close.
Shot taken at f2.8 with Canon 5dIII coupled with canon 70-200 f/2.8 II.
Clark's Woods - Iowa
Didn't have to venture out very far to capture the early morning delights. Buds, blossoms and leaves are finally "popping" announcing that spring is here in the heartland!
The variety of colors, shapes and size makes a walk in the woods worth the effort!

When viewed small this image seems to be one thing but as it get larger it switches and it's true perspective emerges. I liked the pattern but also the surprise.
SOOC - pretty much.
An ominous view over Clear Lake yesterday morning as the weather forecast was predicting freezing rain, sleet mixed with snow for our area starting late last night!
Well guess what? The weather man must know what he is doing because that is just what we are experiencing here this morning!
Sigh . . . not good!

Despite wind gust of over fifty miles an hour, tranquility and calm prevailed as I climbed Kane Mountain's 98 year old fire tower. The views are of a small corner of the southern Adirondack mountains, but amazing from any direction. Located near Caroga Lake, New York in the 518. Pentax.

Wetland Reflections, Dawn. © Copyright 2022 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Dawn clouds reflected in the surface of a wetland pond, Pacific Flyway, New Year’s Day 2022.
The dawn light is remarkably fleeting. The space between “too early” and “too late” can be extremely small, and on a morning like this one I might have only moments to see what is happening in the sky, find a foreground, create a composition, and make some photographs. When the light arrived and a small group of clouds appeared in the distance, I first worked handheld with a long lens in order to narrow the view and get some flexibility about positioning the tree. Then I grabbed another camera that had a wider angle lens attached, and I made a few photographs that included more sky and water than seen here.
I have photographed in some remarkable landscape, where particular objects demanded attention. But this landscape along the Pacific Flyway is not that sort of place. To be honest, often it can seem plain and even boring. Much of the area is agricultural country, and nearby there are large cattle operations — not the most scenic or pleasant of landscape subjects. But for a few months each winter the fields flood and migratory birds return, and when the conditions are just right magic may happen.

Shot at an art exhibition that was celebrating interplay between ideas and cultural multiplicity. The theme was to showcase how artists do not confine themselves to a singular art-making language, medium, or style—but, rather, range across a spectrum of possibilities.
Personal note: I really did not understand most of the art work or the idea behind it, but they were nice to look at !

An image taken when I was in New Mexico photographing an Indian Day School in Sanostee, near Ship Rock. It was a pretty breezy evening with red dust blowing. I turned around to get the wind out of my face, and this is the view I saw. That's Mitten Rock on the right and the road is Indian Service Rte 13 heading towards Arizona.
