I have come to the point where I hate the 365, hate it so much. Still I do not want to end it, I really want to finish it, I want to accomplish something. Improve.

I had almost forgotten how it was like to go out in the water to shoot. The water is getting warmer and warmer indeed :)
Soo.. I have very little ideas right now, and mostly all of my ideas just come very spontaneous.
On sunday I will be leaving for a school trip.. And I am trying to figure out how to post when I'm gone haha..
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Nomi comuni della ROSA CANINA:
*Rosa di macchia
*Rosa selvatica
*Rosa di bosco
Questa pianta deve il nome canina a Plinio il vecchio, che affermava che un soldato romano fu guarito dalla rabbia con un decotto di radici.
La Rosa Canina è una varietà di rosa selvatica, che può crescere spontaneamente nei boschi e nei dirupi. Fin dall'antichità è stata considerata un fiore dalla doppia valenza; da un lato, infatti, la Rosa Canina si caratterizza per la bellezza e soavità del profumo dei propri boccioli, dall'altro per il tronco ed i rami pieni di spine, piccole e appuntite, che rappresentano un ostacolo per chiunque si avvicini e desideri cogliere una rosa. Per questi motivi il significato attribuito al fiore è duplice: delicatezza e piacere ma la tempo stesso anche sofferenza e dolore fisico. Da non dimenticare sono poi le proprietà calmanti e rilassanti associate agli infusi ed estratti ricavati con i petali del fiore.

It’s great to finally post again! My new website has kept me very busy. So many photographers have amazing websites now. My new venture has been a surprising success so far, and if anyone is interested I would be happy to share what I have learned. I have a “My Blog” link on my website, where I will include steps I have taken to make the site work, including how I have been able to sell prints internationally. This was a nightmare at first; however I figured out a system for almost all sales.
The Shot: I scouted out The Marin Headlands Area to the north of San Francisco, for a spot where I could capture an image of the fireworks show, which was to be the finale of The Golden Gate Bridge 75th anniversary celebration. The Headland hills were littered with people wanting to witness the display, including many other photographers. I chose to set up on Wolfback Ridge, where I was joined by about 200 other excited individuals. This was a great spot and not bad at all for shooting the fireworks; however I soon realized that I was not set up at the best possible location to capture what I had envisioned.
While waiting for the show’s finale, I became captivated by the colorful little boats that had gathered in the harbor. I decided to attempt a 6-shot pano of the scene to include the boats, city skyline and the car light trail that snaked from The Golden Gate Bridge along Highway 101. While I kept my camera aperture setting at a constant f/8, I realized that I needed to adjust the shutter speed setting as I panned across the scene. Doing this would give me a better chance of maintaining even lighting throughout the sky.

The buttes of the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park are icons of the Wild West.
They have been the background of many movies such as John Ford’s Stagecoach with John Wayne and have had bit parts in Easy Rider, 2010 Space Odyssey, The Eiger Sanction and Forest Gump.
You will see vehicles on the road in the foreground. If you had looked a short while before this photo was taken, you would have seen my red Toyota proceeding in a cloud of dust along the road.
This is the view from the visitor's center.
I would like to return and spend much more time to see and capture the beauty of the park.

Not something I'd normally post, but two together, especially the diversity between the two GT-R's, was pretty different...
I'm not going to pretend that I really like GT-R's, because I don't. I once did, when they first came out a few years ago, but somehow they lost all 'coolness' to me. What do you think of the GT-R? Also, what year GTR's are these? I think that the white and red are 2011 and 2010, respectively. Correct me if I'm wrong though :P (probably!)
Anyway, I threw this up because I just saw it there, and wondered if anyone would be interested. I took this shot quite a while ago while on a group photo shoot with "MSCC". I've got some more cool stuff coming *soon*... :O
C&C appreciated!

The Pannonian Plain is a large plain in Central Europe that remained when the Pliocene Pannonian Sea dried out. It is a geomorphological subsystem of the Alps-Himalaya system.
The river Danube divides the plain roughly in half.
The plain is divided among Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine.
The plain is roughly bounded by the Carpathian mountains, the Alps, the Dinaric Alps and the Balkan mountains.
Although rain is not plentiful, it usually falls when necessary and the plain is a major agricultural area; it is sometimes said that these fields of rich loamy loess soil could feed the whole of Europe. For its early settlers, the plain offered few sources of metals or stone. Thus when archaeologists come upon objects of obsidian or chert, copper or gold, they have almost unparalleled opportunities to interpret ancient pathways of trade.
The precursor to the present plain was a shallow sea that reached its greatest extent during the Pliocene, when three to four kilometres of sediments were deposited.
The plain was named after the Pannonians, a northern Illyrian tribe. Various different peoples inhabited the plain during its history. In the first century BC, the eastern parts of the plain belonged to the Dacian state, and in the first century AD its western parts were subsumed into the Roman Empire. The Roman province named Pannonia was established in the area, and the city of Sirmium, today Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia, became one of the four capital cities of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century.

We had a happy Victoria Day on Monday with splendid summer weather and with delightful firework festivity at night. And I had quite a festive rooftop photo-session, capturing all the sparkling colourful downtown and fireworks at Ashbrdge's Bay.
It all started with the magic blue hour, which got deeper and deeper with each volley of fireworks - you'll see it next :-)

From coast to coast... The last post was the Bay Bridge. It quietly celebrated a 75th birthday last November to little fanfare, unlike the attention the Golden Gate Bridge is getting. Who's the red-headed step child now?
Well, all words cast aside, I was in Boston last week. The waters were so still you just wanted to dump some tea in the Harbor and scream "No taxation without representation"! Haha. This is the Evelyn Moakley Bridge. It is next to a U.S. Courthouse, which was subsequently named the John (aka "Joe") Joseph Moakley (former Congressman) Federal Courthouse shortly before his death. It's a little further down the Harbowalk than last year's post.
Not even room for a little 'un on this packed day car in Sligo town. Destinations advertised outside Walsh's were Ballina, Bundoran, Enniskillen, Ballyshannon and Roscommon.
Thanks to John Spooner, we now know this photo was taken on Corcoran's Mall in Sligo and he found great info on Walsh's schedules from Slater's 1870 directory for Sligo:
"To BALLINA, from Corcoran's Mall, a Mail Car, every morning at fifty-five minutes past six, and a Van at halfpast two afternoon.
To BALLYSHANNON, from Corcoran's Mall, a Mail Car, every morning at six; also a Day Car at twenty minutes past two afternoon, during summer months only.
To ENNISKILLEN, Cars leave WALSH'S Office, Corcoran's Mall, every day (Sunday excepted) at seven in the morning." See comments below for how John worked out that the trip from Sligo to Ballyshannon worked out at an average of 6.75 mph!
Date: 1880s?

Hundreds of galahs gather on the power lines in late afternoon for a snack before retiring. They glide down to the grass and eat the seeds - bit of an essay follows. They are also in pairs everywhere - mating season coming up.
The Word Galah: Galah is an English word (Australian) pronounced ga-lah.
It originates from the Yuwaalaraay (Aboriginal language of southeast Australia) word gilaa.
Description: The Galah is pale grey above and pink below. The male has dark brown eye and female has red eye. Its crest varies from pink in Western Australia to white throughout the rest of Australia. Juvenile Galahs have a grey breast and a grey eye-ring. Often seen in large flocks of between 30 to 1000 birds. In rain they like to hang upside down from branches or power lines, wings spread wide to catch the rain.
Other Names: Rose-breasted Cockatoo
Size: 34-38cm
Habitat: Open woodland, parks, roadsides, playing fields.
Food: fruit, seeds, nuts, berries, plant shoots and roots, grubs. They often feed on seed that has fallen to the ground and also eat orchard fruit and nuts.
Breeding: Nests in hollow tree. The nesting hole is lined with leaves and twigs. 3-4 white eggs are laid. Incubation is shared by both parents over a 30 day period. the young leave the nest at about 8 weeks.
Range: widespread in suitable habitat. Found throughout Australia, except in the very dry desert regions and dense forests.
Classification:-
Class:Aves
Order:Psittaciformes
Family:Cacatuidae
Genus:Cacatua
Species:roseicapilla
Common Name:Galah
In captivity galahs can live to 80 years of age.

I have no idea where that quote is from, but whatever. :)
I really like this project so far. So far it has pushed me out to shoot, pushed me out to explore and pushed me to think ideas. Yesterday I was exploring one part of where I lived, today I explored the other side. And I remember this place, last time I was here was in august when I just had gotten a little more interest of photography. I know now, that if I were there in august right now I would take so many different photos. I have a completely different mind now :)
And it took me forever to edit the flame! But at least now I know how to make a flame in photoshop! :D

My dear contacts and visitors!
I’ve read lots of comments, blog posts and forum topics about my photographs, whether I use photoshop or not, and should photoshop be used at all. It’s an honest question, but, as far as I’m concern, I had a goal to use photography as ‘prima materia’, a base, and through editing create a fusion of reality and vision.
I am not a photo reporter, so I don’t feel obligated to honour every detail. What I’m trying to achieve is to emphasize the whole potential of a shot, creating a sight that I'd like if existed.. And since it’s impossible in real life, I do it in virtual :) My work is maybe more similar to ‘photo-painting’ than photography.
Join me! After all, there is a reality of everything you imagine :) If you had recognised my work, than we share the same vision, and they are yours as much as they are mine!
It’s a harmless illusion – your personal, real life reality is only a click away... :) :) :)
«Non avere paura. Il mio racconto non può farti del male malgrado quello che ho fatto e ti prometto di rimanere sdraiata buona buona al buio — magari a piangere o a vedere ancora il sangue ogni tanto — ma non distenderò più braccia e gambe per alzarmi scoprendo i denti. Mi spiego. Puoi pensare al mio racconto come a una confessione, se vuoi, ma piena di curiosità familiari solo nei sogni o quando il profilo di un cane gioca nel vapore dell'acqua che bolle. O quando una bambola di cartocci di mais su una mensola poco dopo è per terra nell'angolo di una stanza e la cattiveria che l'ha fatta finire lì è evidente.»
[Toni Morrison, “Il dono”, incipit, 2009]

Image taken with a 50/600 mm refractor with a glass Sun filter and a Sony DSC-W30 Cybershot (a compact camera) with the afocal method. The eyepiece I used was a Huygens 20 mm (24,5 mm diameter).
The Ultaran, being the decendants of Makaan, are firm believers that superiority over 'inferior races' is achieved through the construction of giant, powerfull war machines. The Ultaran Dreadnoughts are feared in every corner of the galaxy because their sniping power is immense. They deliver fantastic damage over great distances. However these ships lack the electronics to deliver that pain so far on their own. They require a couple scouts (housed within the ships docking bay) to 'target-paint' coordinates. Therefore, ironically, the immense power of these ships rely on the very fragile nature of the scouts.
------------------------------------
It's finally finished! This one is a bit bigger and more complex than what im used to, and required a couple BL orders of light grey bricks. Its inner structure is quite sturdy and the armor pannels are angled using many different techniques.
I will detail and compare the evolution of the ship through sketches and pictures at a later time. Inspired at first by Vaygr Battleships, i realize that it has more of a Sajuuk shape.

The New City Hall or New Town Hall in Hanover, Germany at night, is a city hall and was opened on July 20th, 1913, after having been under construction for 12 years.
It is a magnificent, castle-like building of the era of William II in eclectic style at the southern edge of the inner city (outside of the historic city center of Hanover).
The building is embedded in the 10 hectare Maschpark. The Old City Hall is no longer used as the main seat of administration, but houses businesses and the registry office.

Am starting to enjoy getting in with the action now days, hoping some day I get to work with bigger swells.
I liked the movement in this shot, wish the sky could have been more dramatic, will be re visiting this locations soon when the clouds are better.
Sorry if I haven’t been around much to comment, have been a bit buys and hope to catch up soon.
Thanks for you visit and comments.
Have a great day.

La estampa típica de un paisano gallego siempre fué con un paraguas colgado de la chaqueta a la altura de la nuca, asunto tremendamente práctico que también solucionaba la reprimenda al ganado.
