I am not very fond of Winter myself. But it certainly can look very beautiful. Anyhow, nice to see someone is enjoying it....
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment, and fave my photo.
Coucou tout le monde c'est Billy au clavier.
Voilà, on vient de rentrer de chez ma gentille véto. Je pense que môman a raison, la véto est amoureuse de moi mais grave comme il faut, elle a passé plus de temps à me papouiller et à me dire plein de mots d'amour que des soins. Entre nous, je préfère ;-)
Alors, pour mon menton, c'est une grosse plaie pas belle à voir du tout (moi j'ai pas vu mais j'ai vu la tête de môman, mamie et ma véto et ça avait l'air bien dégueu!). On m'a nettoyé convenablement la plaie, on m'a même enlevé des petites touffes de poils et du coup on voit ma peau rose cochon en dessous :-p
Pour ne pas que j'aie trop mal, on m'a fait une belle piqure de cortisone et j'ai pas bronché.
Pour l'intérieur de ma bouche, c'est pas pire qu'avant, y a même un léger mieux par rapport au mois de mai. Il n'y a plus d'ulcères au niveau du palais mais par contre y a des zones très rouges au niveau des gencives. Et puis on a peut être eu l'explication de cet abcès. En fait la grosse canine en haut à droite (on la voit pas sur la photo évidemment mais c'est de ce côté là) est tellement longue qu'elle a creusé un trou dans la "lèvre" de la machoire inférieure :-( on dirait le foureau d'une épée il paraît mais comme la gencive de cette dent là est très enflammée, c'est sûrement ça infecte une veine qui arrive sur mon menton et qui fait que l'infection sort par là...
Donc voilà la mauvaise nouvelle de la soirée c'est que je vais retourner sur la table d'opération mercredi! On va m'enlever cette saloperie de dent et puis une autre aussi un peu plus loin. Et d'ici là ça sera antibiotiques matin et soir, pweeerk.
Môman a eu un peu peur mais la véto a dit que si elle proposait cette solution c'est qu'elle avait confiance, que vu mon âge y avait un risque évident mais il y a aussi des techniques d'anesthésie moins lourdes et que de toute façon avant l'opération on allait me faire des analyses de sang et un examen des reins et qu'elle choisirait alors l'anesthésie qui convient le mieux. Du coup c'est môman qui avait pas l'air fier dans le cabinet de la véto parce qu'il faut pas oublier que j'ai un souffle au coeur aussi. Moi personnellement je m'en foutais, j'étais déjà retourné dans ma caisse après qu'on m'ait dit que j'étais le plus beau, le plus brave et le plus gentil, na!
En tout cas môman vous remercie tous pour vos gentils mots, elle est très touchée et elle vous embrasse tous très fort. Moi je vous envoie plein de ronrons et je file me coucher, vais rêver à ma véto! A bientôt!
With her head laid on her back, this female Canada Goose sat quite contently and watched what I was doing. I didn't get close as to disturb her, but as I got up to leave she lifted her head ever so slightly. I left some corn close by for her and went on my way.
Something a little different this evening - a shot of my dog, happy as a clam sitting on the red sand of PEI!
I have been lucky enought to shoot with the brand new Sigma lenses for Fujifilm X-Mount, which have just been announced today!
This first image was taken with the f1.4 16mm DC DN Contemporary lens.
The other two lenses announced today were the 30mm and 56mm, both f1.4 lenses.
Feel free to ask questions in the comments, and I will be sharing more content taken with these three lenses, and blog pieces later in the week!

“The merest breath reached out to me in the wilderness and halted me in my tracks. I cocked my head to listen intently to the rhythm of the earth; for the direction of the wind; to the whisper of the trees and in that one defining moment, my mind was made up and I stepped out boldly into the unknown direction of the path that will take me who knows where, but it is the beginning of a new and exciting journey and all I had to do to reach this point was to stand still; to listen; to observe; to be guided by the instincts within me that served me so well in the past and in so doing now, I leave the past behind and my heart and soul are glad to be separated from the weariness that had settled so heavily on my shoulders. My steps are light as is my entire being as I begin again …funny, I only just noticed that begin and being are anagrams of each other … “ - AP

DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO? - DIANA ROSS
Life from a snail's point of view and mine too ; 0))
Which way shall I go?
UP?
ACROSS?
DOWN?
what a dilemma
I cannot decide on a whim
WHAT IF …
too many what ifs …
while I wait I am silent
I try to think strategically
1. Supposing I reach the top
and don't like what I see!
2. Supposing I go across
sideways and merge my colours
subtly into Mother Nature's palette
3. Suppose I go back down
no WAIT!
I already came so far
to go back would be wasteful
of the time
of the experience
mmmm … the wall has tiny microscopic little beasties
they taste good though the wall itself is roughly hewn
a moveable feast
Who am I?
What am I?
A snail carrying her home upon her back
free to roam the open road
oh well, ok … the open wall if you please
I passed a slug a little while ago
a slug is surely just a homeless snail …
I should be more content with who I am
after all I am not homeless
I am not helpless
I am shielded from predators
I am the queen of my own castle
I hear a bird
a Dunnock I think, perhaps two
one is thin; the other fat and round as a Robin
they sing so prettily
I have no audible sound
but my heart sings
my mind thinks
I feel and climb this wall to evade capture
and to avoid being trodden underfoot
vain creatures; humans … they love my slime
they apply it to their skin
it heals and makes them smooth
I can heal myself if my outer shell cracks
I am tired now
I want to sleep but I have not yet decided
UP?
ACROSS?
DOWN?
It is quite a conundrum for a snail
oh there she is with her camera
I cry to her to make sure she gets my best side
of course she does not hear me or does she?
I think she might well do
she is in tune with nature
in harmony with her surroundings
she is in my domain
and I am in hers
together we can do great things
she has a profound effect on me
suddenly I decide
to enjoy the ride
the wind in my hair
oh wait!
Do I even have hair?
So much I do not know
I teach her
she teaches me
together we coexist
she leaves me to my meanderings
while she goes off a-wandering
tomorrow is another day
I will decide then, perhaps
UP?
ACROSS?
DOWN?
What's that she's saying?

Quand j'ai fait mes selfs hier, j'ai utilisé que le K-7 pour me photographier avec le K-30. En transférant mes photos sur le mac, surprise de trouver cette image!
Je ne me souviens pas du tout d'avoir pris cette photo. Mais je suis contente de la trouver :-)
Cette grande roue n'est pas utilisée. Elle sert d'élément "décoratif" sur le bord d'une route à côté d'un terrain de camping.

Jumping Spider with the Raynox DCR250
I love jumping spiders, and most commonly capture images of them using my Nikon D610 & Sigma 150mm macro however, lately i have wanted to get images with the spiders a little bit closer but had reached the limits of my macro lens (approx 1:1 magnification). As a result I decided to try the Raynox DCR250 super macro conversion lens which acts as a magnifier for your camera lens. This was my first attempt at capturing an image of a VERY hyperactive jumping spider. The spider was not harmed in the taking of the photo, and I managed to capture about 4 - 5 shots which was focus stacked using Helicon Focus before being processed with Topaz Sharpen, and being more comprehensively edited in Luminar 4 (using AI Structure, and AI Enhance).
There are a few issues with the photo, mainly relating to; 1. How quickly the spider was moving, 2. Depth of field, and 3. Reflections from the lens. The EXIF / shot data was 1/800 sec, f/5.6, ISO 640. LOTS more practice is needed to get used to the tiny depth of field and moving animals (I do microscopy so depth of field is not a major issue, just the movement of the spider creates additional challenges).

Today I began a series at the Riverside Cemetery of Saddle Brook, NJ. I have never done this type of shooting before, and generally try to spend as little time as possible in a cemetery, considering that sooner or later I will do so permanently--anyway. :-)
Unless the light is of dramatic quality, most of the shots are pedestrian and forgettable.
But the beauty of Photoshop lies in its ability to facilitate emotional content in our images. And sometimes an image which finds itself inside the circular file gets a reprieve based on a second, thoughtful look. Such is the case with this one.
I love how the Ivy encroaches on this graveside, but also feel a twinge of sadness for a forgotten person with no more connection to succeeding generations. In many ways that is a more final death.
A little bit of cinematic toy photography captured with my Tron Lego and some practical effects.

Excerpt from koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/2024-11-21/culture/arts...:
An immersive media art exhibition opened its doors at the Incheon International Airport’s Terminal 1 on Wednesday.
Titled the “K-Culture Museum,” the exhibition was hosted and organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency (Kocca). It was previously on view inside Gyeongbokgung Station in 2021 and has been upgraded for this version.
The exhibition is divided into five sections with some 30 media art pieces showcased through large-screen LED screens and mirrors. Kocca teased in a press release that the media art will feature gemstones, the Studio Ghibli animated character Ponyo and customizable airplanes.

Fotografia feta amb la Hasselblad SWC, fabricada el 1976; pel·licula infrarroja Kodak Aerochrome, caducada com a mínim el 2011; f11 a 1/125 amb filtre taronja; revelada amb el kit C41 de Bellini.
El pont romanic de Sant Martí d'Albars sobre la Riera Gavarressa, al Lluçanés.
Sense cap mena de dubte, la emulsió més cotitzada avui en dia, i això que parlem de pel·licula caducada com a mínim des del 2011 o abans, és la Kodak Aerochrome. Molt probablement ja haureu sentit parlar d'ella si feu fotografia analògica. Es tracta d'una emulsió infrarroja en color, teoricament per a revelar com a diapositiva, però que sovint és més conveninent revelar-la com a negatiu amb el procés C41, ja que és menys exigent a una correcta exposició (i ho és molt), especialment ara que està caducada. Tot i que té un ISO de 400 per a diapositiva, millor exposar per a ISO 320 com a negatiu.

=======================
Picture taken with a Hasselblad SWC, made in 1976; Kodak Aerochrome infrarred film, expired at least from 2011; f11 at 1/125 s., with orange filter; developed with the C41 kit by Bellini.
The medieval bridge near Sant Martí d'Albars, crossing the Gavarressa stream.
Without a doubt, the most desired and valued emulsion today (and we're talking about expired film since at least 2011 or earlier) is the Kodak Aerochrome. You've probably heard of it by now if you do analog photography. It is a color infrared emulsion, theoretically to be developed as a slide, but it is often more convenient to develop it as a negative with the C41 process, since it is less demanding on a correct exposure (and it is a lot) , especially now that it's expired. Although it rated at ISO 400 for slides, better to expose for ISO 320 as a negative.

Hacía tiempo que no subía retrato alguno a mi galería; es por ello que hoy me propuse volverlo hacer, en esta ocasión, uno de cierta naturaleza documental.
Trátase del retrato de una lavandera haciendo la colada al tradicional modo en que antaño se acometía, que tomé hace cinco años en la Feria de Tradiciones Populares de Yeste (Albacete), tratando de captar el movimiento con una lenta velocidad de obturación (1/30) .
La Feria de Tradiciones Populares de Yeste viene celebrándose todos los años a últimos de Octubre, constituyendo un pintoresco e interesante retablo de menesteres, costumbres y oficios tradicionales, que los lugareños recrean en el patio de armas y dependencias del castillo, a la vista del visitante, a fin de dar a conocer el magno y característico serrano cultural legado que atesoran.
-English:
It's been a long time since I last uploaded a portrait to my gallery, so I have today chosen to upload another one, this time in some documentary sense.
It is a portrait of a washerwoman doing the washing using the most traditional laundry methods, captured five years ago in the Yeste Folk Traditions Fair (Yeste, Albacete, Spain), trying to capture motion with a slow shutter speed (1/30).
Yeste Folk Traditions Fair is held every year in late October, providing a picturesque and interesting display of matters, customs and traditional trades, which the locals recreate in the castle courtyard and, showing the great and distinctive cultural heritage they keep to visitors.

57-59 Main Street
Ontario Worker’s Cottage (1800s-1890s):
In the early 19th century, a house’s level of taxation was partly
based on the number of storeys. As an economy many houses
were constructed with a second storey of half-height.
There modest houses were one and a half stories with gable roof.
Windows to the second floor were placed on the side and/or a
windowed gable was provided over the centre door. The buildings
were symmetrically organized with a central entry, flanking
windows and chimneys on the side walls. As the style evolved
projecting entry bays and rear ‘tail’ additions were incorporated.
During the second half of the century, influenced by British
immigrants, the Worker’s Cottage moved away from the Classical
influence and adopted gothic architecture’s vertically oriented
features such as steeply pitched gables, pointed arches at
windows and doors, and decorative turned and carved woodwork
on bargeboard, finials, verandahs and entrances. The treatment
of the exterior varied widely to reflect local resources: wood
(clapboard or board-and-batton), stone or brick.
