shooting this scene too many times. Somehow have to stay creative 😛

Summer field of vetch and barn outside of Elgin, Oregon in Union County.
Edited this photo while testing a new release of ON1 Photo RAW 2019, to be released later this month.
This is actually a bracketed HDR shot +-0.7 shot hand-held, without a tripod. I'm impressed how well it was aligned in ON1!
Also in the very last period of coffee crop in Sidama region, the ladies continues mixing the parchment coffee and the natural one (as in the image) to reach the proper drying level before warehousing it in bags. Their work is key to continue removing every single defect. The drying beds can be dozens and aligning them carefully an ocean of coffee become visible (with its sirens as well ;-)
Morning spent in West Kensington with my son who had a job interview there. He didn't get it, but I got these instead. He will get something soon, I am sure....

I’ve been working on this one for a long time. More time has been put into this snowflake than any other edit in my history. What you’re seeing here is BOTH sides of the most complex snowflake I have ever photographed, mirrored.
The original image (left) was published as a part of the 2017-2018 snowflake series: flickr.com/photos/donkom/39289310091/ - and it was such a compelling crystal that, in the field, I did something I rarely do: I photographed both sides of the snowflake. Once the first set of images are taken for the purposes of focus stacking, the snowflake is then flipped over using a delicate paintbrush. The reverse side is then photographed in the same manner. It’s not the first time I’ve done this, but it certainly is the most elaborate and the first time I’ve been able to mirror it against itself. The right-side image was never edited until now, and it the final composite took me a few days to create.
The mirroring process is no small feat. While the images are generally the same structure, they are not taken at precisely the same angle. Geometric corrections are made to match the two sides in Photoshop using the Distort tool with a blending mode set to “difference” which allows for the direct comparison of the footprint of the snowflake to align both together. The match isn’t perfect, as the snowflake would have sublimated between the two sets of images, and each side has different features. Those different features are what makes this image so unique.
I’ve talked about this before: one side of a snowflake has topographical grooves, ridges, valleys etc. while the other side is mostly smooth. This image is the perfect way to express this differential. You can even spot certain features like a branch growing on multiple levels, and that is reversed in the mirror image. Colour from bubbles trapped in the ice via a prism effect are more noticeable on the right side vs. the left as well. There’s a lot of visual comparisons to be made as your eyes jump between the two halves of this image!
Snowflakes normally do not get to this size and complexity while still staying roughly symmetrical in features across all the branches. Symmetry isn’t the best word here, but rather “balance” with puzzle pieces fitting tightly against each-other. The chiseled edges indicate slower growth, something also uncommon for a crystal of this magnitude. This specimen represents an extreme rarity, and while we might expect snowflakes to look like this in our imagination, such creations are extraordinarily rare in nature.
I hope 2024 brings you peace, is filled with beauty and wonderful memories, and contributes to the positivity in life that helps define you. This is a year that contains insurmountable uncertainty for so many millions of people, and a year where the world is resting on a razor’s edge. Because of this uncertainty, it is especially important that we all admire the good in our lives – including the people we hold close and the friendships we have cultivated. Reach out to friends you haven’t heard from in a while, they’ll be glad you called. 2024 needs to be a year of growth and prosperity – I hope you all find that in the 365 days to come.

Grote wolfspin / Kraamwebspin / Nursery web spider - Pisaura mirabilis
Striking characteristics of the Pisaura mirabilis are its long legs (the fourth one being the longest) and its slender abdomen (opisthosoma). The male is between 10–13 mm, while the female is 12–15 mm. After final ecdysis the male spiders weigh on average 54 mg and females 68 mg.
The prosoma is variable in color, ranging from light to reddish brown and from gray to black. A lighter stripe is visible down the middle of the prosoma. The opisthosoma is long and narrow and tapered towards the rear end.
Female spiders have a dark patch (epigyne) on the underside of their abdomen that includes the copulatory organs. Male genital openings can be found at the same location, but remain inconspicuous.
Patterning and coloration varies due to polymorphism. These patterns, which can be caused by hair and pigments, change with the growth of the spider (ontogenesis).
Male spiders are stronger in contrast than females and look black, especially in comparison to the white nuptial gifts. Females tend to get paler towards the end of summer. The stripe along the back of the body can be found in all spiders and can be seen as crypsis, a protective measure against predators.
The pedipalps in nymphs and females look similar to legs. In males, this structure gets thicker towards the end and is used to store sperm until reproduction (bulbus). The outer chelicerae segment consists of three teeth. They catch their prey during the day and at night and are also active on warm winter days.
An outtake from a recent series called "Align", which focuses how to align our lives with God's will for our lives.
I attempted to use a Rubik's Cube inside the skull x-ray (where the brain should be) and dress our character in typical 80s fashion (using a queue from the Rubik's Cube) but, the Rubik's Cube was cut off at the top in the x-ray, and piecing together all the elements made it feel too crowded. The x-ray also doesn't perfectly align with his body, so I went a different direction (in the x-ray his arms were at his sides, thus the shoulders don't mesh quite right). But regardless, I think its a sorta cool looking shot -- so here is just the root concept ... though not one that totally works with the theme.
Initially named the Martlet by the Royal Navy they were re-named Wildcats in 1944 to align with combined US and British operations.
1,123 Fleet Air Arm Martlets operated in all theatres of war including Norway, the Mediterranean, North Africa and the Far East.
However, Martlets distinguished themselves in the Battle of Atlantic and on Arctic Convoys providing effective fighter support from escort carriers and working effectively with Fairey Swordfish in the hunt for German U Boats.
In October 1940 two Martlets of 804 Naval Air Squadron, based on Orkney, forced down a German Junkers 88A that was attempting to bomb the Home Fleet at Scapa Flow. This was the first victory credited to an American Built fighter in British service.
Grumman Martlet l, AL246, is the only surviving F4F-4 (G-36A.)

I`ve spent two weeks in Austria!
In the next days I`ll upload a lot of great pictures.
I did macro, landscape, astrophotography and long exposure photography.
The image shows the Tegernlake in Austria, where a lot of little sailingboats are crossing the lake.
In the background, you can spot an old landslide that happened many years ago.
