This evening I took Vanessa to Borders, where we spent about an hour and a half browsing before the bookstore closed at 11 p.m. She collected a few books, set them down on an easy chair, and left for a few minutes, during which I decided I wanted to get a candid shot of her as she perused her materials. In order to challenge myself a bit, I also decided I would take exactly ONE photo, no more, and hope for the best. So while Vanessa was away, I set up my camera and speedlight and planned the shot, for which I settled on a shutter speed of 1/350 sec., an ISO of 200, an aperture of f/2.8, white balance set for flash, and vertical orientation of the camera. A minute or so after she settled into her chair, I whipped out the camera (which had been mostly hidden from view), aimed it at her, and pushed the shutter button.
I decided to upload this pretty much the way it came out of the camera, apart from cropping and minor adjustments in curves and contrast. While I don't claim this to be any kind of masterpiece, my only real complaint about it is that there is excessive light falloff in the distance. The store wasn't really as dark as it appears here; but then, if I had used a longer shutter speed, Vanessa herself might have been overexposed, and she, after all, was my subject. I did manage to make the light immediately around her nearly perfect, and without some kind of secondary light source, I couldn't have done much about the background anyway. I wish I could have used a solid-color background, or perhaps a muslin one, just on the other side of where Vanessa was sitting. (I could create a new background in PSE, and might do that sometime, but I find that doing so is often more troublesome and time-consuming than it is really worth.)
On the other hand, perhaps I should have used a slower shutter speed and set the flash for rear-curtain sync, a feature I've never used before. I didn't think of that until the following morning, when I was working out on an exercise bike at the gym and alleviated the boredom by reading a book about exposure.
But its imperfections notwithstanding, I had a lot of fun planning and executing this little miniproject.

On the border between China and North Korea in Jilin province. At the village of Licun there is no fence and it is possible to step into the narrow Tumen River. Locals caution against wading too far across however.
Andalusia (/ˌændəˈluːsiə, -ziə, -ʒə/; Spanish: Andalucía [andaluˈθi.a]) is an autonomous community in southern Spain. It is the most populous and the second largest in area of the autonomous communities in the country. The Andalusian autonomous community is officially recognised as a "historical nationality". The territory is divided into eight provinces: Almería, Cádiz, Córdoba, Granada, Huelva, Jaén, Málaga and Seville. Its capital is the city of Seville (Spanish: Sevilla).
Andalusia is in the south of the Iberian peninsula, in south-western Europe, immediately south of the autonomous communities of Extremadura and Castilla-La Mancha; west of the autonomous community of Murcia and the Mediterranean Sea; east of Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean; and north of the Mediterranean Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar. Andalusia is the only European region with both Mediterranean and Atlantic coastlines. The small British overseas territory of Gibraltar shares a three-quarter-mile land border with the Andalusian province of Cádiz at the eastern end of the Strait of Gibraltar.
The main mountain ranges of Andalusia are the Sierra Morena and the Baetic System, consisting of the Subbaetic and Penibaetic Mountains, separated by the Intrabaetic Basin. In the north, the Sierra Morena separates Andalusia from the plains of Extremadura and Castile–La Mancha on Spain's Meseta Central. To the south the geographic subregion of Upper Andalusia lies mostly within the Baetic System, while Lower Andalusia is in the Baetic Depression of the valley of the Guadalquivir.
The name "Andalusia" is derived from the Arabic word Al-Andalus (الأندلس) The toponym al-Andalus is first attested by inscriptions on coins minted in 716 by the new Muslim government of Iberia. These coins, called dinars, were inscribed in both Latin and Arabic. The etymology of the name "al-Andalus" has traditionally been derived from the name of the Vandals; however, a number of proposals since the 1980s have challenged this contention. Halm in 1989 derived the name from a Gothic term, *landahlauts, and in 2002, Bossong suggested its derivation from a pre-Roman substrate. The region's history and culture have been influenced by the native Iberians, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks, Romans, Vandals, Visigoths, Byzantines, Jews, Romani, Muslim Moors and the Castilian and other Christian North Iberian nationalities who reconquered and settled the area in the latter phases of the Reconquista.

He was so excited when we just arrived camp site. We were at the higher ground, and he was looking other campers build up tent as well as the lake.

The most photographed section of my house... with two completed borders.
Icing my foot, having a bowl of chili, and then sewing these onto the quilt top. After that, maybe a field trip somewhere to get a good photo of the entire top.

In het klooster Frenswegen, Nordhorn Duitsland, werd in 1548 een oud grensverdrag gesloten tussen Overijssel en graafschap Bentheim. Dit verdrag bepaalt nog steeds onze grenzen..

The Frenswegen monastery, Nordhorn Germany, was the site where the old border treaty between Overijssel (Netherlands) and Bentheim (Germany) was signed. This treaty still determines the Netherlands-German border.
My camera team and I journeyed down to the U.S. Mexican border and, over a period of several months, interviewed Border Patrol agents, illegal immigrants, Minutemen, politicians, representatives of the ACLU and local ranchers to make a realistic assessment of just how porous our border had become.

Looking over the border into Algeria. The southern and western edge of the large dune field in centre ground is on the Algerian side of the border. We crossed the border leaving Libya and entered Algeria and rounded the southern tip of this dune field (the right hand end of these dunes) and then drove eastwards across the Takharkhouri (Sebkha) heading back towards the Libyan border and on towards the Takharkhouri Pass - the southern gateway into the Tadrart Acacus.
