An active region that was rotating out of view displayed a dazzling variety of dozens of spurts and eruptions in about 2.5 days (Apr. 19-21, 2014). The frames, taken in extreme ultraviolet light, show ionized Helium not far above the Sun's surface. All of the activity near this region was caused by intense magnetic forces in a powerful struggling with each other. Credit: Solar Dynamics Observatory/NASA.

I went to the beach for the assignment but forgot to put a memory card in my camera.... How stupid can you be. So I had to use my iPhone's Hipstamatic App instead. It was freezing with an icecold wind from the east. This one I like because of the solitude and the two brave hearts fighting the elements. So, I did the composition but Hipstamatic did the rest.
Active Assignment Weekly - Opposites Attract.
I've gone for a variation of Hot & Cold here, choosing a red hot chilli, and ice cold, erm, ice! I actually sliced some chilli last night and put the slices in an ice-cube tray so I could play around with it today.
WIT:
Slices of red-chilli in ice cubes, popped into a cocktail glass with a slice to garnish too and a little water. Stood this on two coffee tables (one on top of the other) in front of the window. Placed a white foam board on the window sill for the background. Camera on tripod. Adjusted the white balance before shooting to give the board this cold blue tint and help the glass stand out.
A riverlet of lava snakes its way through slightly older flows as it comes down the Hōlei Pali in Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. All this glassy, silver-colored, basaltic lava has originated from vents associated with the Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō eruption along Kīlauea Volcano's East Rift Zone. The outer surface of erupting lava cools incredibly quickly when it is first exposed to air, hundreds of degrees per second, so the surface of an active flow often appears solid and glassy in texture. But beneath that solid crust the lava is still molten and flowing. In the ribbon like flow in the middle of this photo the surface crust has collapsed in a few place creating “skylights” that allow a glimpse of the orange molten lava flowing below. These can be seen as orange dots in the photo. According to the United States Geological Survey, the color of incandescent rock gives a crude estimate of temperature. Yellow indicates a temperature of about 1000–1200 degrees Celsius (1832–2192 degrees Fahrenheit). Orange indicates a slightly cooler temperature of about 800–1000 degrees Celsius (1472–1832 degrees Fahrenheit). Red is even cooler, about 600–800 degrees Celsius (1112–1472 degrees Fahrenheit). The glassy silver solid crust can still be quite hot, often over 200 degrees celsius.
Look close, there are 4 skylights and 2 cooling cracks with orange molten lava visible. The annotations on this photo may help you find them quickly. The photo was taken during our helicopter tour of the East Rift.

Active Assignment Weekly: Hugging the Curves
After going for a walk and shooting many different things to potentially use for this weeks assignment, I decided my car has a lot of nice curves to it so why not use it.
Rose chafers are capable of very fast flight, flying with their wing cases down like bumble bees. The adult beetles are active between April and September. The beetles fly clumsily and are typically seen in sunny weather.

Active Assignment Weekly 2/6: Water
WIT: 2 soda bottles. One filled with water and glitter and connected to the other with a plastic coupler and washer. 2 off camera flashes on snoots with camera below. Black backdrop. Some PP contrast and highlight adjustments. Lots of swirls and random testing of camera settings and flash position in order to minimize reflections and expose the tornado.
This week’s assignment is to find a quiet place
Don’t – none, just take a break from your busy days and go shooting!
Dare – add people (same as last week, sorry I just love pictures of people)
My husband and I went to Colonial Williamsburg yesterday just to stroll around. It's about 1 1/2 hours from our house. On the way home we stopped at this wonderfully quiet place on a river bank. My husband is off in the distance and I'm in the corner (shadow).
WIT - Adjustments in LR basic panel
Family is finally gone. I'm back in Leggs and got to try out my Xenvo Blue Tooth Remote Shutter Button.
I had to go to the Post Office after work, and took a few photos on my walk back home.

Virgin Atlantic's B747-400 G-VGAL 'Jersey Girl' seen after crossing the 'active' at London's Gatwick Airport while being towed out to the Gate ready for my recent trip to Florida .....
Watching the in-flight map data she had us cruising out across the Atlantic around 38,000 feet with an eventual climb as we crossed West of Newfoundland to 40,000 with a ground speed of 592mph.
The return leg was aboard G-VLIP 'Hot Lips' and climbing to 35,000 feet out of Orlando, heading up the Eastern Seeboard towards Newfoundland with the speed gradually creeping way up past 650mph until the readout showed us at one point doing a ground speed of 722mph!
Then with things slowing down a little as we climbed to 38,000 feet, we made the trip back in just under 8 hours!
Taken through the terminal windows where the old outdoor viewing areas used to be!

Provenance: Encheres Oceanes, June 18, 2016, lot 240
Rank: 123
Notes: avec indication « Mr Disdéri opère lui-même »
André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri (1819 - 1889) a self-taught daguerreotypist, researched and improved upon the existing collodion-on-glass negative process, which he outlined in his first publication, Manuel Opératoire de Photographie sur Collodion Instantané, 1853. That same year, he returned to Paris and opened the largest studio in Paris, which spread across two floors. It was there that he introduced his carte-de-visite portraits which were a great financial success. For the 1855 Paris Exposition Universelle, he formed the Société du Palais de l'Industrie and obtained the rights to photograph all the products and works of art exhibited at the Exposition. Eder writes "Disdéri was considered the outstanding portrait photographer of his time in Paris. Napoleon III appointed him court photographer. In 1861, he instructed French officers in photography under orders from the minister of war. Disdéri's popularity is best shown by the fact that his character was introduced in 1861 as a star attraction on the stage of a small vaudeville theater in Paris by a realistic representation featuring his bald head and tremendous beard."

The Annunciation Triptych, ca. 1425
Robert Campin and Assistant (South Netherlandish, active by 1406, died 1444)
South Netherlandish; Made in Tournai
Oil on wood; Central panel 25 1/4 x 24 7/8 in. (64.1 x 63.2 cm); each wing 25 3/8 x 10 3/4 in. (64.5 x 27.3 cm)
The Cloisters Collection, 1956 (56.70)
The Annunciation Triptych displays the hallmarks of the emergent Early Netherlandish style. A fascination with the natural world dominates and the smallest details are meticulously rendered to reflect reality on a two-dimensional plane. Illusionistic effects are enhanced by the technical innovation of overlaying thin translucent oil glazes on opaque layers. The resulting luminous, enamel-like surface achieves apparent depth, rich gradations of light, and a broad distribution of color values.
The Annunciation Triptych was conceived as an object of private devotion. The center panel focuses on the Virgin in prayer. As she has not yet recognized the presence of the archangel Gabriel, the event depicted is the moment just before the Annunciation. Some objects, such as the lily and the laver, symbolize the Virgin's purity expressed through the divine birth of Christ. The tiny figure of the Christ Child bearing a cross and descending on rays of light from the round window indicates that the primary subject is the Incarnation. This understanding is borne out by the flame of the candle, symbolic of God's divinity, which has just been extinguished, a further reference to the Incarnation, the moment when God became man. This significant detail is placed in the exact center of the composition.
This was a photomerge so that's why it's missing a couple pieces. But go in close and check out the every-day details. Amazing stuff!

I saw the contribution by Doug, -18 Celsius and snow everywhere. Over here, every year winters are warmer, snow is rare, and if it falls it is only a thin layer and for a short time.
So, this man takes his chance, grabs snow, molds it into a snowball and aims for his girlfriend, who retaliates immediately. The laughter could be heard through the windowpane...

Active Assignment Weekly: "Starts with a B"
Went for a walk after the rain today. Came upon this church I frequently see from the freeway. Found this bike in front of one of the doors to the church. The lights are reflecting from another room at the church. Upped the exposure a bit in pp.
The main attraction of the Water Gardens is the active pool which has water cascading 38 feet (11 m) down terraces and steps into a small pool at the bottom.
Submitted to Active Assignment Weekly. This week's assignment was b craw
Inspiration: I wanted to research b craw in more detail. Find out more about what makes him tick, what his inspiration is, and whether he has material available for exploration in addition to his pictures here at flickr. So I followed the link from his flickr profile to his homepage. On the welcome page, he explains his work this way:
The predicates of my work are familiar--yet, ultimately in-locatable--contexts, wherein collective cultural-mythic structures and my biography coalesce to play upon art image/object as substance and residue, fixed autonomous form and frictional fluidity; it is a phrenetic process that forms, re-forms, and erases cultural and biographical loci via the intrinsic mutability of artistic practice.
And that was the inspiration for this picture.
