Nobody is born as a warrior
Warriors are not born and they are not made. Warriors create themselves through trial and error, pain and suffering, and their ability to conquer their own faults

So I have a weakness when it comes to portraits. Not only am I a big fan of taking photos of girls in fields, but I also love putting a chair in the middle of a location and having the model sitting on it. It's a simple idea, but I feel like it always comes out somewhat different, depending on the model, location, and chair.

'The Weakness'

"An arch consists of two weaknesses which, leaning one against the other, make a strength." Leonardo da Vinci.
Located on the Loop Head Peninsula, the Bridges of Ross were originally 3 natural arches of rock that rose above the waters of the Atlantic Ocean in this remote area of County Clare. Due to the constant erosion caused by the waves and the harsh Irish climate, two of the arches collapsed in the past, and only one of them still stands, however, the plural name is still preserved to refer to this place. Walking over the remaining “bridge”, as well as its surroundings, requires caution, but the views of this coastal landscape undoubtedly justify the visit to this place.
When you are in front of this natural beauty, you cannot help but think that one day it will cease to exist, and the strength that now emanates will also succumb to the unstoppable effect of the elements and the passage of time.

"Un arco consiste en dos puntos débiles que, apoyados uno contra el otro, crean una fortaleza". Leonardo da Vinci.
Situados en Loop Head Peninsula, los Puentes de Ross (Bridges of Ross en inglés) eran originalmente 3 arcos naturales de roca que se alzaban sobre las aguas del Océano Atlántico en esta zona remota del Condado de Clare. Debido a la constante erosión provocada por las olas y el duro clima irlandés, dos de los arcos se vinieron abajo en el pasado, y solo uno de ellos permanece aún en pie, no obstante, aún se conserva el nombre en plural para denominar a este lugar. Caminar por encima del “puente” restante, así como por el entorno del mismo, requiere prudencia, pero las vistas de este paisaje costero justifican, sin duda, la visita a este lugar.
Cuando se está frente a esta belleza natural, no se puede evitar pensar que algún día dejará de existir, y la fortaleza que ahora emana sucumbirá también al efecto imparable de los elementos y del paso del tiempo.

This has so much personal value, it's ridiculous.
I have a weakness for red umbrellas. I blame it on Saul Leiter's photography. Now I always want to go out in inclement weather and search for them, camera in hand. That being said, only a fool would go out in a snowstorm with a camera. I'm such a fool. Only a fool would go out with a camera in a snowstorm to take pictures just prior to showing up at his doctor's office for minor surgery. I am such a fool.
Surgery was easy-peasy and if I am uploading photos comfortably from home, you know I'm fine! Should be back at work tomorrow- sometime-- depending on how well the commuter trains are coping with the snow
"Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me,
for in you my soul takes refuge.
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings
until the disaster has passed."

Three plants find sustenance in a narrow crack in Utah sandstone.
This small scene was in the bottom of a Southern Utah canyon, where the light was richly saturated as it reflected among red rock walls on its way to the canyon floor. This light virtually glows, and it can be quite soft, filling in shadows and saturating colors. In these places and in this light, even the most mundane subject can begin to be appealing.
I’m always fascinated by plants that manage to establish themselves in unlikely spots with minimal chance for success… and then manage to sustain themselves there for years, decades, or even centuries. I first became attracted to such things in the Sierra Nevada, where full grown trees sometimes seem to grow in nearly solid rock. These plants are smaller, but it is quite amazing that such a small crack creates an environment in which they can thrive.

This is a "slice" of a recently cut down tree in our local park!
I LOVED the figures which naturally appeared in this mirror image! Wisdom from the old tree, speaking to me!
“There are realities we all share,
regardless of our nationality, language, or individual tastes.
As we need food, so do we need emotional nourishment:
love, kindness, appreciation, and support from others.
We need to understand our environment and our relationship to it.
We need to fulfill certain inner hungers:
the need for happiness, for peace of mind, for wisdom.”
~ J. Donald Walters ~
(dedicated to an an amazingly insightful, brilliant, nourishing friend!)
“The more a person analyzes his inner self,
the more insignificant he seems to himself.
This is the first lesson of wisdom.
Let us be humble, and we will become wise.
Let us know our weakness,
and it will give us power.”

"Helm's Deep has but one weakness. It's outer wall is solid rock except for a small culvert in space, which is little more than a drain. If the wall is breached, Helm's Deep will fall."
Helm's Deep is finished!
One of my best MOCs ever, It's not the most accurate Helm's Deep you'll see in terms of length, but I wanted to include both rockwork and the wall breach, and I think that turned out great. A lot of action, including a surfing Legolas!
Hope you like!

I do have a bit of a weakness for motion blur shots... another snap from the Tour Down Under in South Australia
The Tour Down Under in Adelaide and surrounding areas attracts some of the world's elite cyclists to South Australia in January - our summer.. Now in its 21st year here, its a major tourist and sporting attraction. Today, we were up in Piccadilly Valley near Crafers in the Adelaide Hills for Stage 3 in a very very hot and humid day (around 38C and 55% humidty and virtually no wind). It was stifling just walking around with a camera let alone six laps of a long hill and a a King of the Mountains late on.

As expected, hip joints started to show their weakness as the cabin is getting heavier. I'm currently cheating with a quick fix that may become permanent.
Shortened the thigh parts of the legs, and worked on detailing those: quite happy with the result so far even if using the 3x3 tile up front gives too smooth a result, some kind of technic part might be more adapted there.
Now I think I need to rework the relative proportion of the rest of the legs. Namely the ankle should be shorter while the tibia part could be lengthened.
Again thanks for the support on the previous WIP :)
I have a weakness for Jugs, so today’s letter being J it seemed appropriate to share a small amount of my collection.

Lets call this a birthday portrait, tomorrow marks 24 years here on earth.
(I do swear that I'll always be there. I'd give anything
and everything and I will always care. Through weakness
and strength, happiness and sorrow, for better, for worse,
I will love you with every beat of my heart.)
From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on
From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on
I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on
You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on
Whether it's a strength or a character weakness, I have this propensity to come across a photo location, find no train, and commit myself to returning to that location, the way that Gen. MacArthur vowed to return to the Philippines.
A prime example of this situation: the pair of Union Switch & Signal P-5 signals east of Mosier, Ore., on Union Pacific's Portland Subdivision through the Columbia River Gorge. I spied this particular location in October 2021 during a half-day visit to Columbia River Gorge while en route to Spokane from Portland. As bad luck would have it, there were no UP trains nearby and this image eluded me that day.
While preparing my Winterail 2022 travel plans late in December 2021, one thought weighed heavy on mind. Not which airline I might fly to/from PDX, not which hotels I might use, but when I would get a train with these damned signals. The mornings of Monday, March 21 through Wednesday, March 23 would probably do it.
One variable I couldn't predict when I first laid plans three-plus months earlier: Mother Nature. Ultimately, weather was not on my side either Monday or Tuesday morning, with heavy cloud cover and/or steady rain on both dates. Wednesday, it turned out, was the last best chance for any kind of satisfaction, and so I made the decision to sit on this spot — and only this spot — until making a sprint for the airport late Wednesday morning.
Perseverance paid off, as illustrated by Union Pacific Train ZBRG1 23 (Intermodal, Brooklyn Yard, Portland, Ore.–Global One, Chicago) weaving along the shores of the Columbia River and splitting the signals at mile 74.7.
If I had to pinpoint my two greatest weaknesses, it would be the fear of letting people down and having a lot of social anxiety. That is one reason why I tend to shy away from photographing people outside of myself. For this photo shoot I decided to take the leap and push forward with a commissioned shoot that this beautiful soul, Adrienne, requested. The whole process was a reminder that you can never know the ways you will touch someone's life, how others will impact your life, and reaffirmed that every story is worth telling if it means enough to someone.

A sea arch is a natural opening eroded out of a cliff face by marine processes. Some arches appear to have developed from surge channels, which are created by wave refraction causing the focussing of wave fronts on the side of a headland (which might be the cause in both instances above).
More generally, arches develop where waves attack a plane of weakness which cross-cuts a promontory. Caves produced on either side of a promontory may become joined over time to become a tunnel and, finally, an arch.
The supporting roof of the arch is known as the keystone. The architecture of an arch is a reflection of its lithology and structure. Sea arches have been regarded as ephemeral forms tending to survive over periods of just few decades or centuries. The term sea tunnel can be used to describe a hole in the cliff line where the arch itself is considerably longer than the width of the entrance (perhaps a better way of describing the feature on the right of the image).
Note the well-defined long vertical crack above the arch on the right. There are two simillar, but less well-defined cracks on the headland to the left as well.
The arches seen above are in Port Campbell National Park which is, of course, more famous for the Twelve Apostles. Facilitating tourist access, the Great Ocean Road runs past quite closely to this location.

--Spotted on Explore at #71. How Nice :D--
I have had a very turbulent January,so it would seem.
I've been unwell for well over a week now with Flu, chest/sinus infections and now my M.E is acting up... I've got alot going on at Uni and with other projects and collaborations too. I feel like I've fallen off the horse this month!
If it hadn't been for my willpower, I don't think I would have taken photos today,but I hadn't photographed anything since my last portrait session, and I have new toys to play with and get used to. This is rough work for Uni anyhow!
It's scary how new equipment can unnerve you when you're not used to it,I feel how I did when I first got my 450d; really lost and inferior to the equipment. I think I know alot more now than I did back then though :P
On the plus side, I am an Auntie at long last,so aside from all the sad news of being ill and house-bound most of the time, there has been some joy :)
I really hope I make a speedy recovery as I do not like being inactive!
This one was kind of an experiment. I love my 100-400 IS ii, but one major weakness it has is that it flares pretty easily if the sun or bright light shines directly on the front element. Rarely will it produce ghosting artifacts, but because of the flare I don't shoot close to the sun much with it. I do not have a UV filter or anything else on it, and I do my best to keep it clean, but still it flares easily. Just by looking through the viewfinder anywhere in this direction I could see how hazy the image was going to be. Knowing that, I wanted the glow of the rising sun that was just coming up over the trees adding a look of warmth.
The original was very flat so with a little bit of masking here and there and a whole lot of extra contrast and voila. Depending on how one would choose to process it there could be many different end results and as far as processing for accuracy as to what I saw with the naked eye, well that is out the window as I would only have seen some very bright light and a glaring scene. It may not be the best capture of sunrise, but I think it coveys cold with a promise of warmth, which is what I was hoping for.
One wee bit I hadn't seen at the time was the open water and its reflections beside the lodge. I am still seeing open water a bit besides lodges which I find interesting, so although I have seen this particular lodge to be a popular spot for Pelicans to rest, I am guessing that it is still an active lodge.
Some people, because I am kind, helpful and caring, think that my kindness would be a weakness... What a mistake!!!
Those who made this mistake disappeared from my Second Life instantly.
Never think that you could lie to me more than once or take advantage of my kindness, don't even try to direct me or dominate me, that would be the immediate way out.
SL is made to smile and be happy, so let's play it this way 😇
Certain(e)s parce que je suis gentil, aidant et attentionné pensent que ma gentillesse serait une faiblesse... Quelle méprise !!!
Ceux qui ont fait cette erreur ont disparu de ma Seconde vie instantanément.
Ne pensez pas que vous pourriez me mentir plus d'une fois , n'essayez même pas de me diriger ou de me dominer, ça serait la porte de sortie immédiate.
SL est fait pour sourire et être heureux, alors jouons le ainsi 😇
