ubermummy asked me to do a picture that conceptually means "fuck cancer". So this is what I came up with.
5 fedoradollars for anyone who can spot where I displaced my eye. It's very hard to find yet I placed an entire fucking eye ball from guy on the right in a different part of the picture.
More "hat chronicles" stuff tomorrow. I think minipimp might have a little something up her sleeve. Or will the cowboy get one over on her? It is rumored there will be another character possibly returning from the pimps past. Oh my!
I am celebrating pimp week by getting people to hold pimp signs on the street. I'll post them all sunday.
Bye!
It's rainy now and it seems that rain is washing out our Indian summer... oh well we shouldn't be complaining as we had these fantastic sunny days lately :-)
So my fave spot of Toronto's Mixed Forest is loving this mist at early blue hour settings...
More autumnal impressions (rain or shine) will come soon - Stay tuned! / Bientot a l'ecran! :-)

You are most welcome to look through the set or you may like to see it as a slide show.
The gray squirrel is numerically the most common squirrel on the East Coast. Gray squirrels are also known as black squirrels. This guy is from Williamsburg, VA. I also like the old fence with the hitching iron.

I shot this from the east side of the Burnside Bridge. Looks like someone at Wikipedia liked one of my shots of the Old Town Water Tower: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Town_Chinatown,_Portland,_Oregon

A more painterly interpretation of the same flower garden from yesterday's butterfly image. Does anyone know what these flowers are called? I am so loving the color-drenched landscape right now. I walked for three hours yesterday morning on the Riverwalk in Naperville. Another place I've not visited, here in my backyard. The fall colors, the river .... all magnificent! Today, I'll get a chance to sift through those images.
Happy "Colorful" Thursday!!

It's funny how things come together at times. It was the last morning of my vacation. I get my 4 a.m. wake up call from the roosters. I get up look out the window and it's pouring rain. I'm thinking to myself what a way to enjoy my last day on vacation. I get back into bed, and lie there for the next hour listening to the roosters just hoping and wishing for the rain to stop. 5 a.m. comes around and it's still raining. What should I do? Should I get up and go? Should I just stay in bed and go back to sleep? All these thoughts are going through my head. I'm making myself mental!
I decide to get up and go. I make my 15min drive to the location. It's still raining with no signs of any breaks. I get to the parking lot, look to the east. Rain......a lot of rain. I get back into the truck and sit for the next half an hour watching the rain contemplating if I should stay or leave. Wait.......I see a break on the horizon. The sky has a real faint glow, but it's at least a 15 min hike down to the beach. The trail down to the beach here is very steep. If it has been raining, forget about it. The trail is slick and muddy. There wouldn't be enough time to get down to the beach, so I decide to go with my plan B; shoot from the cliffs. I make my way slowly down the trail. I'm slipping and sliding all over the place. I get to the spot where I want to be at, I set up, and start shooting. The scene at this point is dark and moody with subtle light on the horizon. After a few frames the rain starts really coming down. I tried to stick it out in the rain for as long as I could but it was just too much. I pack my gear up in defeat. The conditions weren't in my favor this time around, but it's ok.......I've got great light at this location 4 days in row! ;-)
I make my way back up the trail, I take one last look at this killer view and all of a sudden I see this glow on the sea cliffs. The glow starts to get more intense, I can't say the curses that came out of my mouth, but I was swearing up a storm as I ran back down the trail slipping and sliding all over the place. The heart pounding heavy breathing intensity that was going through my body was crazy. The light started illuminating the shore line as if someone had slowly open the blinds in a room that was dark. When I was focusing in live view at x10 I could see the sunlight piercing through the rain! It was one of the most incredible scenes that I have seen. I would say this was a great way to start the morning.
"We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead lose your shirts in the fire tonight
What makes you think I'm enjoyin' being led to the flood?
We got another thing comin' undone"

Went to Chicago this morning to check out the epic waves!! Still going through the photos ... details to come!! Hope everyone is having a rockin' Saturday! I was abandoned by the family so nothing left to do but Photograph, Photoshop & Flickr!!
I realized I hadn't uploaded an image of the Mackinac Bridge yet from our road trip; so here is a blue-hour shot. Sadly, I was on the wrong side of the bridge for a nice sunrise shot!! Drats!!
Happy Cliché Saturday!!
I was at the beach underneath the Golden Gate Bridge and this rock formation caught my eye. I wanted to get a semi long exposure of the waves. Most of the waves gently made it over the little valley on the rock for the 20 minutes or so that I was at this spot. Just as I was leaving though this wave came crashing through. This is just the first portion, it actually struck me and soaked most of my clothes. If it hadn't been for the fact that I had my camera strap around my neck the tripod might have tipped too. Just as the exposure was ending the wave moved it (that's why there is some blurring in the rock.) Very fortunate situation.
Once again I have chosen to go with the black and white processing. Maybe I'm just in one of those moods....

We have been having some great fall weather lately, minus clouds! This past Sunday I saw that we had a few clouds in the sky and thought it was going to be an epic sunset tonight! My fellow Flickr friend, Dene www.flickr.com/photos/denemiles/ saw it too! We were going to meet up at the Alki Point Lighthouse, but both decided en route, that the sky above the city was blowing up!
So we had a blast witnessing the show from West Seattle. My other Flickr friend Matt www.flickr.com/photos/cedergreenphoto/ was unfortunately late to the show! The color had died down by the time he arrived! Oh well, next time! Still we had a great time shooting the Seattle skyline as it turned into the "Blue Hour."
This is a combination of three exposures (-2,0,+2) merged and tonemapped in Photomatix. I cropped in Photoshop and did some selective dodging and burning, as well as ran through Topaz Adjust to regain details. I added a slight vignette in Lightroom as well as decreased the saturation of the colors. I also did slight noise removal and sharpened a bit.
Thank you for your views, comments and faves. I appreciate them. Hope everyone is enjoying their fall weather. I look forward to the change of color and the crispness to the air that the change of seasons provides! I also look forward to all the great images my friends will be posting shortly!
Please do not use my images on blogs or websites without my permission. Contact me if you would like to license an image. Thank you.
Misty morning (at last).
Three exposure HDR. First time I've used photomatix for a couple of years, it's improved !
Desperté y pensé que hoy podría pillar un bonito amanecer, me asomé a mi ventana y vi con grata sorpresa que las estrellas nos hacían compañía, así que tome mi mochila con todos los utensilios de fotografía y el trípode y me puse de camino hacia el puerto de el Musel, pero mi sorpresa fue que no dejan hacer fotos desde ahí, así que me quede al lado en la playa del Arbeyal y he aquí lo que dio de si este amanecer, creo que he acertado en levantarme e ir a fografiarlo.
Decir que ya tengo permiso para poder fotografiar desde el Musel jejeeee
Un abrazo a tod@s
Espero sea de vuestro agrado

Churrasco - Costelão
No Brasil, churrasco se refere a toda carne assada na churrasqueira ou no estilo fogo de chão, quase sempre em grandes espetos na região sul, e grelha nas outras regiões.
Para o fogo, o mais comum é o uso de carvão, pela praticidade e facilidade de compra, porém os mais tradicionalistas defendem o uso da lenha. Existem também churrasqueiras à gás, pouco utilizadas por interferir no tradicional sabor do assado.
O tempero varia conforme o gosto e o costume local, podendo ser simplesmente sal grosso ou refinado, até as mais elaboradas fórmulas. De longe, a carne preferida é a bovina, mas também são muito apreciadas as carnes de origem suína, ovina, de aves, além de embutidos, como a linguiça.
Barbecue -
In Brazil, barbecue refers to any grill or roast in the fire ground in style, often in large spikes in the south, and grill the other regions.
To fire, the most common is the use of coal, for convenience and ease of purchase, but traditionalists advocate the use of firewood. There are also a gas barbecue, little used by interfering with the traditional flavor of the roast.
The flavor varies according to taste and local custom, and can be simply salt or refined, to more elaborate formulas. By far the preferred meat is beef, but are also greatly appreciated the meat from swine, sheep, poultry, and sausages, and sausage.

What are all those aircraft doing to all my lovely star trails. Those vandals! And who made the sky a muddy brown?!
There was no moon on this night so all the light is supplied by light leakage from the 7 million inhabitants of the San Francisco Bay Area - yes, even the light on the face of the mountain is from light pollution.
The brown resulted because the exposures were started later in the evening - long after twilight. Without the moon to "blue up" the sky the stray light of low pressure sodium vapor lamps and tungsten lights works its muddy deed. When I get a few months I may try to REMOVE all of those aircraft trails from the SFO and OAK airport it seems, however, that it's like trying to paint out graffiti on a Los Angeles Freeway...
If you want to know more about Mission Peak I wrote a lovely article on my blog.
If you're wondering "Steven, how do you get these long exposures late at night - the park closes at 10 pm" the answer is: I'm already home asleep! I make my camera do the work by itself. If you do happen to see a camera all by itself in Mission Peak Preserve... please leave it alone - it doesn't take well to strangers ;-)

You know when I saw the sunbeams that I didn't take just one shot. I lingered there for a long time ... capturing the sunbeams as they slowly danced through the trees.
Though this shot isn't as dramatic as the earlier shots, I reveled in the color that slowly revealed itself ... in the contrast of light and shadow dappling the pavement ... and I stood there in the shade until the last sunbeam faded away.

I've been so damn lazy the last few days. I just couldn't get myself to do anything. I feel like taking a vacation... but the funny part is that I got back from a vacation just a month ago :))
Here is another shot from our trip to Cambodia. We went for a day trip out to the floating villages /forest and on the way we came across this really lovely lotus farm. What made this an even more interesting location was the dark rain clouds in the background! The umbrella of course adds a dash of color!
I hope you guys are having a good time this week and I hope I don't feel so lazy any more.
I look forward to catching up with your photos. Be good, everyone!
I drove to the city last Friday for a sunrise and a storm hit just as I exited the expressway. By the time I arrived at the lakeshore, the rain ceased and the sun lit the underbelly of these gorgeous storm clouds.
Though the sun never broke through the clouds, it ended up being a beautiful morning. I hiked through the prairie grasses, the marshes and the bird sanctuary. I chatted up a couple of bird photographers along the way. They were all agog over having spotted a 'sora rail.' I didn't see it and had no idea what it was. I think my bumbling along scared away this 'secretive' bird! I stuck to the prairie flowers and the skyline view, an 'unobstructed view' after the clouds broke! For your 'unobstructed view' take a peek in the lightbox!
I have found a similar pattern of shells and the Milky Way. ^^)/

Cosa mai si può dire al ritorno da un viaggio così meraviglioso?
Parigi è una città incantata.
Come tanti hanno già scritto, quando riparti il tuo cuore resta lì.
Inevitabilmente.
Ho scattato oltre duemila foto... Sembravo impazzita!
Ovviamente per voi ho in serbo solo il meglio.
Spero di trasmettervi, attraverso i miei scatti e i toni e le postproduzioni che di volta in volta deciderò di utilizzare, un pizzico di quell'atmosfera magica e romantica che solo la Ville Lumière sa offrire.

To say Portland has quite a few bicyclists is an understatement. I don’t know the exact percentage but it would be fair to guess there is probably a cyclist for every person owning a camera of some sort (the gross amount of Portland photographers is another story).
Most of them know their road rights and will prove it if you happen to cut them off. As you walk the streets of Portland, depending on how long you roam, you will probably hear a cyclist or two cursing a motorist for infringing on their space. The screaming and yelling has become so common I don’t notice it anymore. It’s like listening to the adults on a Charlie Brown cartoon: all I hear is “wah waaah wah waaah wah waaaahhhh.”
I can see their point, though. After all, it is common knowledge there have been quite a few deaths because of motorists not paying attention to the cycle lanes. There are “ghost bikes” in place representing a person who was killed at that particular spot. Cyclists are constantly on guard to make sure they are seen so they don’t become a victim themselves. I am sympathetic to their plight. I guess I would be even more sympathetic if a lot of those same cyclists obeyed all of the rules of the road, too.
I can’t tell you how many close calls I’ve had with cyclists who seem to think the “bicycles yield to pedestrians” signs are merely for decoration. Just at Portland’s Waterfront Park alone most of the cyclists go way too fast, weaving in and around pedestrians even though there are signs in place requiring all cyclists to slow down. A sign was posted in a construction zone requiring all cyclists to “Walk Their Bikes” because the walkway had been narrowed due to the construction fence. I didn’t see a single cyclist walk their bike. They road through as if the walkway was at it’s original width. Also, I’ve noticed many cyclists like to run red lights and stop signs. A cyclist kicked my wife’s bumper at a 4-way stop because he felt the front of her car was penetrating his crossing lane. Turns out it was her turn to go anyway because he failed to stop (as the law requires) at his stop sign, first.
I believe this picture tells it like it is. They know the cycling laws that protect them! They may not care what the law requires of them but they certainly care what the law requires of YOU. Some of them would probably run you over if you happened to wander into their cycling lane. If not, they would at least brush your shoulder as they passed by to let you know they weren’t happy with you.
Just sayin’. =)
