Saw this on my multiply 5 minutes ago and decided to download. That explains the poor quality. Never payed much attention to this 'til I saw the bokeh. Ahhh, my soft spot. :)

10-22mm vs. 17-40L.
Which one and why? How much did you get yours? Would you know the price of either one in Bangkok?
Any info would be really helpful. Thank you! ;D

Changing our clocks forward by 1 hour probably seemed like a good idea many years ago. Times have changed for sure but I question whether it is still as relevant today. All I know is we pay a price in the morning.
My coffee is required to be an extra large to help compensate for this hour difference,
Even as the smoke clears and adjustments are made, I still feel cheated by time!
Went out with Buggs, Shadowbomb, mad-eye p!e, mhsneon, Kevin Eddy, and a few others (bad me, didn't get your names I think Mike Spieth was one) to some badlands 15 miles northwest of Rio Rancho. It was awesome, thanks for showing us Buggs!
The majority of the time I was there the light was... blah due to the storm clouds. So I pulled out my flash and attempted to illuminate this hoo-doo with a CTO gel on my flash and camera set to tungsten. The effect was cool, but the bluish cast on the landscape behind the hoo-doo out of range of my flash just didn't look right so I 'fixed' it in photoshop.
Strobist Info: Nikon SB-25 at 1/2 power camera left triggered via a Pocket Wizard Plus II.
I knew there wasn't something right.
Late nights, excuses, the scent of different perfume on her clothes.
I caught her red-handed.
Bitch...
The last photo of my series: a drity, giant (child-eating-?) mashine made of steel and other things!? Thanks for all the views, favs and comments, I am very happy about the positive echo! The next series is already in planning ;) Germany 11/02/2018 at 08:53 am.
About the series (to which the Photo above belongs)
My dear Flickr-Friends, my dear unknown Flickr-User,
First, I would like to mention: “Mettwurst is a strongly flavoured German sausage, made from raw minced pork which is preserved by curing and smoking, often with garlic. The southern German variety is soft and similar to Teewurst.” (Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mettwurst)
Second, I want to amplify: During the last years I had my camera very often with me. An immense amount of photos have been shot, most of them rather unplanned on walks through my hometown. With the series I would like to present a few of my personal favorites (most of them are less than one year old). As the subtitle promises: the Photos show undoubtedly/exclusively trivial things.
Fuck you reality, fuck you so much, I want to be cheated!
About the post-processing
For editing I've used the Lightromm plug-in "Silver Efex Pro 2". More precisely: Preset "Film Noir 3" as a basis (nr. 32), but with some modifications. Apart from other small corrections (eg in contrast or exposure) I removed the artificial grain and the frame of the preset and I added a blue toning for all the photos of the series. And: For almost all photos I used a green or blue color filter.
This Cairn is a memorial to the first black settlers who sought freedom from slavery through the Underground Railroad.
The windows in the cairn are fashioned after those in the "Little Zion Church," the first black church in Owen Sound. The cairn is accompanied by interpretive plaques that help tell the story of Black history in the area. It also includes ceramic tiles with quilt codes that are thought to represent messages to fleeing slaves along their escape route.
The cairn itself includes stones from places in Canada, the United States and Africa, each with a direct connection to slavery or the abolition movement. It is hoped that more stones will be added over time, making the cairn a living monument. Every summer, an Emancipation Festival is celebrated here and is thought to be the oldest in North America, if not the world. Begun as a simple picnic to celebrate Emancipation Day, it has continued since 1862, welcoming people of all backgrounds interested in appreciating history, family, culture and community.
The image itself was taken with a smart phone in broad daylight. I used Adobe's new PS Camera, which comes with several "lenses," including this celestial version. The app is interesting in what it's capable of doing and arguably, might be accused of cheating as it's mostly a software produced image. That said, don't most serious photographers like to push their creative boundaries a bit? Is it really cheating?
Well I suppose this could be classed as cheating, as today's offering was taken tomorrow...
I missed an opportunity to capture a really beautiful sign of spring this afternoon. Then I went into work for a two hour session which stretched into a frustrating four hours. Home for barely an hour when called back for an even more frustrating half hour.
Finally, when leaving the lab at 1am my eye was caught by this lovely building and I remembered I hadn't taken a picture for today. So a short diversion on the way home yielded this rather wobbly shot. Sorry folks... Must try harder...
And then, one year.
365 days (ok, I’m cheating, not all of them) in a new country, with a new language, new culture, new people.
I've left my house for many reasons, I’m happy and sad at the same time. I can’t believe I did it. Me?! But, yes, I’m here.
Every day is a war, it’s a new challenge. I feel happy, excited, lonely, sad, desperate, motivated. I miss so much my family, my friends, my sea, my.. food.
This time gave me time to think, to know me, and I’m brave, I’m strong. Some days I want to go back home, but inside me I know I can’t be happy as I can be here.
I’m so glad for everything, I’m so lucky, I've had awful experiences as well as good, but it’s life. I’m opening my mind, I'm discovering a wonderful place.
I’m glad for every smile that I've had, for every tear. I’m glad to become who I am. Not a new me, I was hidden, but day by day I’m coming out.
My life is going to change again in a few months, and I’m scared, but positive, ready as always. I don’t know anything about my future, I have only to wait and see.
Happy anniversary to me.
For those of you who don't know, "cheaters" is a rather ancient term for sunglasses. So of course I am familiar with it. 😜
Daisy is really enjoying the new prescription sunglasses I got for her online. If you are looking for cheap but decent quality glasses (or sunglasses) you really can't beat "Zenni". By all means, check 'em out. 😊💖
Eating right every day this week. Today, bring on the pizza, bring on the soda, and yes, bring on the donuts. I do it all for the donuts!
We remained indoors because it's blackfly season, and they are rampant. I did sneak out briefly to capture this photo, which I have done more than once before. Deep computer woes. Not sure how much I will be posting. This is done strictly on iPad.

This day we actually didn't have any color. It probably would have been easier to make it a b&w but I still haven't found the convert to b&w button.
Dear Sandra Judge,
I see that no good cheat, Dave Jones has been at it again! Hes a low down bum!!! He needs sorting out and I got a plan. I have my trusty steed parked against the wall and Im going to ride off and hunt him down. When I do catch him, Ill tie him up with the life boy rope, toss him in the tower, throw away the key and you and I will ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after!!!!

" If your mans got ya on the run,
Why dont ya try me,
If ya wanna have a little fun,
Why dont ya try me,
If your troubles are more than you can bear,
If you got a problem that you need to share
If things aint goin just right,
Why dont ya try a man like me tonight "
Why dont ya try me tonight, Why dont ya try me!
" Last night I was tryin to get some sleep,
And I heard a racket from the house next door
It was you and your man and you were havin a fight,
Just like I heard ya done so many times before.
I tell ya woman, every which way your a loser.
Thats what I heard him shout,
So I jumped out a bed and i opened the door,
Just as you came runnin out
And I holered out, "
Why dont ya try me tonight, Why dont ya try me,
Your regular man not treatin you right,
Why dont ya try a man like me tonight "
" Now Im not sayin your all that I need,
And Im not sayin that you will be free,
But all Im sayin girl is ill never stop tryin,
And when I say I want ya, well you know that Im not lyin,
Ask any woman on the street these day,
They will tell you that a good love is so hard to find
For all they want to do is break your heart in two,
and dont ya know that most men say true loves a bind "
" Why dont ya try me tonight, Why dont you try me,
Why dont you try me tonight, Why dont you try me "

That song by Ry Cooder. is in my opinion, is the most honest love song ever written.
But of course its ok to laugh but been broken hearted by your first love is horrible. I remember it well and I though I would die!!!
She married a friend of mine afterwards and they are together over 40 years so they were right for one another. I wouldnt have it any other way either so its funny how things work out really!
I do hope the pic and the story give you a laugh and have a great weekend!!!
And love? Its still the best!!!!!!
Hugs,
P@t.
Update;
My good friend, Peekabo, made a very interesting comment on the graffiti on the wall. Its well written and no spelling errors. I thing maybe its a genuine warning. Maybe the person who wrote it is carrying a torch for Miss Judge.I hope so! We will never know really. Also the names are very English and there is an international students hostel just up the coast from here.
So if anybody knows anything. do let me know!
Im just an incurable romantic really.
