This spring is the source of the River Ravensbourne (a tributary of the Thames that wends it way across south London). It burbles up from the ground before flowing underneath the brick footbridge (in the foreground) and into the Keston Ponds before flowing out of them, on its way to its ultimate destination.

The Ceez was very accommodating today as I hovered around with my camera- no hissing or scratching at all! He did swipe at my camera strap though.
Difference is night and day. Vegas sure has changed a lot in 8 years. Celine Dion still has shows here though haha.
Caesar Dawgustus
So the great snowpocalpyse has come to an end and the world (Athens GA) will attempt to return to normalcy. With work, my ample time to experiment and practice with lighting has been greatly reduced, though I still have plenty ideas for shots I want to try this year.
Simple shot for today. Picture of Caesar Dawgustus, a copy of the once famous statue that resided in Athens until it was auctioned off. Same set up. One speedlight flash camera left.
Post processing done in lightroom and photoshop.

Caesars Palace is one of Las Vegas's largest and best-known landmarks. It was opened in 1966 by Jay Sarno and Stanley Mallin, who sought to give guests a sense of life during the Roman Empire. It contains many statues, columns and iconography typical of Hollywood Roman period productions, including a 20-foot statue of Augustus Caesar near the entrance. The hotel features more than 3,500 rooms, 22 restaurants and 10 bars/lounges.
From the outset, Caesars Palace has been oriented towards attracting high rollers. The casino facilities include table games such as blackjack, craps, roulette, baccarat, Spanish 21, mini-baccarat, Pai Gow and Pai Gow poker. The casino also features a 4,500 square-foot, 24-hour poker room and 1,342 slot machines. The hotel has operated as a host venue for live music and sports entertainment. In addition to holding boxing matches since the late 1970s, Caesars also hosted the Caesars Palace Grand Prix from 1981 to 1982. The main performance venue is The Colosseum, a theater that seats 4,296 people and contains a 22,450 square-foot stage.
Caesar says that Halloween is a very peculiar tradition. All he has to do is put on a silly mask and carry a paper bag and people can't wait to give him taxes and tribute for Rome (i.e., sweet things to eat). He says he wishes his conquest of Gaul was this easy.
Brutus, meanwhile, dressed in a Shrek costume just pounds on the door and says, "Trick-or-treat. Stinky feet. Gimme something good to eat!"
