While I was in visiting War Eagle Mills & Farm in NW Arkansas, I could see where the road disappeared through some trees and over the hill. I just couldn't resist attempting to capture what I was seeing. After I finished with shooting by the bridge, I jumped in the rental car and drove up the road a few hundred feet and then parked on the side of road...stepped out and walked into the center...and then snapped a few off. With some minor alterations of the lighting with my ReDynamix plug-in in Photoshop, I've been able to recapture the incredible scene that I experienced while standing in the middle of that rural road.

Happy Weekend Everyone!!!
A little something I found along a nature trail the other day, a twisted mind sees humor in many little things.

This is a three shot "Long Exposure" HDR and there was very little light inside, but no foot traffic and my tripod with me made it possible. Far from perfect, but was good fun.
The road at the end angled slightly up is still covered with snow. Plus, this tunnel is shared by nature walkers in the day and animals during the night.
I hope everyone is having a great Friday today and looking forward to the weekend.
(Aussie's & NZ are already having a great weekend, right? lol)

#107/365 Post Process Fridays episode #12. This week features an epic photo from PapekPhotography. I mean how epic can you get...beautiful old barn in the middle of the green field with uber clouds at sunset. For this one I really pushed up the colors, since I was going for a fantasy'esque story feel. I think I was a little influenced by PapekPhotography PP'd version he posted couple weeks back because they are very similar. Let's see who will be the first to get the title reference.

105/365. Why should anyone steal a watch when he could steal a bicycle? ~ Flann O'Brien
This bicycle belongs to a friend of mine named Trent. He traveled down from Vancouver (by plane) with his bicycle because, yes, he is totally that hardcore.
This shot was taken near 21st & Mission, just underneath the big "Mission" sign.

The Blossoming continues into its fourth day. In order to blossom into our true potential, we need to open up. We cannot expect the lotus to bloom, while still being a closed bud.
The same holds true for us. We cannot expect to transform into our full potentials if we do not open up to greater possibilities that walk in front of us. A big reason we remain closed is fear. And fear comes from darkness.
Just as the sunlight gently caresses the lotus flower to bloom, we need the inner light to overcome our fears and step out of the darkness. Then our potential will begin to shine.
More to come in this series...watch this space.

We were in NYC but was still cold for a walk in Central Park.
We drove through Long Is, NY and ended up on this enchanting island. (More pics to come!)
This lighthouse is a 167 foot Stone tower that began operation in 1858 to replace the 89 foot tower originally built in 1827.
I think this is the building where one scene(beginning portion) in
"National Treasure 2 : Book Of Secrets " ( starring Nicolas Cage, Justin Bartha, Diane Kruger, Jon Voight, Helen Mirren and Ed Harris) was shot.
The scene at the mail office (supposedly in a Massachusetts town).
Correct me if I'm wrong.
#104/365 War is Hell, specially when it's fought on freshly cut grass. Two night shots in a row....what's gotten into me! While taking this I could hear my neighbors saying "what was that?...Did you see that?". I guess they noticed the 2 flash units going off every couple of seconds. This was actually a test for the new lens I got for the d40...the 35mm f1.8 AF-S.

HAPPY TAMIL NEW YEARS DAY.
This confirms my view that the way we periceive things is highly subjective.
While we look at it as a beautiful Lotus bud, the dragon fly here looks at it as a mere landing pad before it goes on to its next location.
While I was focussing on photographing this bud, this dragonfly just popped into the frame and landed on it. I clicked a couple of shots and called out to my photography partner Prabhakaran to ask him to shoot some...but it was too late. The dragon fly had flown away.
Sometimes the angel of luck is by your side. You just have to thank her, and wish that she visits you once again.
Photographed with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, and Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8 IS USM L Lens and Canon EF 2X Extender. Handheld. Again a lot of you may think its a macro shot done with a macro lens. It was shot from about 10 feet away from the subject, at 400mm.

WOW. Just...wow. I have made it 365 days. And yes, I am going to say all of the cliched things that people say about 365. I started out a year ago to challenge myself to commit to something, to finish it, and--on the way--gain a better self-image after a quarter-life crisis left me in a bit of a bad state mentally.
All of this was wildly successful. I have learned so much about myself, and photography, and about myself as I relate to photography. I now not only know that I've found my calling in life, but I know that I am still beautiful (my perspective only, of course) as I get older. I learned so much technically about photography from all of you wonderful people--and your support has been AMAZING. This was not meant to be an ego-stroking adventure but you all gave me so many lovely comments, favs & encouragement.
I am not going to do another 365 of portraits--at least not for a while--and I am going to celebrate this milestone by taking a bit of a well-deserved Flickr vacation. Not a total break from it, but I will be posting less for a while, and spending time with the family that I neglected so severely over the past year in order to make this happen.
So again--THANK YOU to everyone. I could not have done this without you and I am not going away. Happy Easter and have a drink for me, wherever you are tonight! I will be having some in your honor as well. ;-)

I went to the "gianicolo" to shoot the full moon rising over Rome last night, but there was a huge cloud cover and no good light, so I ended up shooting this instead.... I have to admit I think I like this better than if I had gotten the moon shot :-)

4:37am Australian Queensland time. This is the second of two photos that I took of this UFO.
It was not a reflection off the window and I had my lens pushed against the window to prevent any internal light reflections.
Please see the enlarged photo below.
Two days later in Australia my nephew and I saw another UFO at 6pm. I was driving and no time to stop and get out my camera. The next morning a 6am my brother and his wife watched a very large and bright UFO for 10 minutes. He tried to wake me with no luck. I like my sleep.
What? Did you actually think I would leave Austria without showing you the capital?
Welcome to Vienna, Austria. The 10th largest city by population in the European Union and one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It was ranked #1 (tied with Vancouver) among 127 cities for overall quality of life in a 2005 study.
This is a photograph of The Upper Belvedere. A baroque palace that was built between 1720-1723. Belvedere is a palace complex built by Prince Eugene of Savoy just south-east of the historic city center of Vienna.
Although it was raining when we visited Laurie and I still had a wonderful time exploring the complex. There is a magnificent garden with plenty of fountains just behind this building, that I wish the whole world could see. The gardens were designed by Dominique Girard who trained in the gardens of Versailles as a young student.
I hope you enjoy the majestic view and have yourselves a great weekend!
I will be catching up with all your streams tonight, see you on Monday!

On the last day of our vacation I could no longer resist the urge to play with my husband's underwater camera. The light was so bright, I couldn't see a thing on the screen or hear the shutter click. I just set it on automatic and fired away until the memory card was filled. The memory card was small so I only managed a dozen or so shots ;-(
-philly glow-
i was still getting used to the 5d when i shot this and mistakenly set it to iso 200 (i've been spoiled by the 1Ds because the iso on that is shown in the viewfinder all the time so i never had to worry about it). when i got home, i was worried and loaded the images up immediately only to find out that there was nothing to worry at all - the 5d really rocks and indeed does deliver very clean files at high isos (provided you get the exposure right of course).
the only regret i have about this perfectly lit shot was that i wish this was a mountain scene. :)

La simetría es un rasgo característico de formas geométricas, sistema, ecuaciones, y otros objetos materiales o entidades abstractas, relacionada con su invariancia bajo ciertas transformaciones, movimientos o intercambios.
En condiciones formales, decimos que un objeto es simétrico en lo que concierne a una operación matemática dada, si, cuando aplicado al objeto, esta operación no cambia el objeto o su aspecto. Dos objetos son simétricos uno al otro en lo que concierne a un grupo dado de operaciones si uno es obtenido de otro por algunas operaciones (y viceversa). En la geometría 2D las clases principales de simetría de interés son las que conciernen a las isometrías de un espacio euclídeo: traslaciones, rotaciones, reflexiones y reflexiones que se deslizan.
Symmetry is a characteristic feature of geometrical forms, system, equations, and other material objects or abstract entities, related to its invariance under certain transformations, movements or exchanges.
In formal terms, we say that an object is symmetric with respect to a given mathematical operation, if, when applied to the object, this operation does not change the object or its appearance. Two objects are symmetrical each other with respect to a given group of operations if one is obtained by some other operations (and vice versa). In 2D geometry the main kinds of symmetry of interest are those concerning the isometries of a Euclidean space: translations, rotations, reflections and glide reflections.
The Collegiate Church of St Peter at Westminster, which is almost always referred to popularly and informally as Westminster Abbey, is a large, mainly Gothic church, in Westminster, London, just to the west of the Palace of Westminster. It is the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English, later British and later still (and currently) monarchs of the Commonwealth Realms.
No HDR. It was just like this.
