Here’s my contribution for Novvember. Often I go minifigure scale with my vic vipers, but was intrigued by the very sleek, angular proportions a lot of Gradius Vic Vipers have. So this year used that as the starting point for my design, rather than a cabin that could fit a minifigure. It was a very fun build and I’m pleased with how it turned out.

The wine spring of Western Han Dynasty is the highlight to see and has a beautiful story to share. In 121BC of the Western Han Dynasty, the General Huo Qubing from the Han Court won a total victory in the famous Hexi Battle against Huns. In order to celebrate the success, the Emperor Wu awarded him a pot of luscious wine. The General Huo thought the contribution should have come to the whole army. So he poured the wine into the spring and drank it with his soldiers,thus the spring got the beautiful name "Wine Spring".

Happisburgh Lighthouse, Norfolk, UK
I didn't feel I could visit Happisburgh without taking a shot of the Lighthouse....esp. as the car park is so close to it. I gather that sometimes there is Rapeseed in the field and even if not you can get the tractor trails in the crop fields. Alas in February it's a pretty landscape and the best I could do for a leading line was the strip of worn path to the right of the frame. The clouds that would lead to some pretty spectacular skies were just starting to form and catch the blue hour light. I took the 'normal '3 bracketed images for the main scene but then had to take another three for the light itself and hand blended them.
Windmills and lighthouses are some of my favourite subjects to shoot....particularly in blue hour when you get the natural light but the beam is still shining.
This isn't what I would call a 'keeper' by a long way but I decided to post it anyway as I might never get to shoot it again.
Happisburgh Lighthouse is the oldest working light in East Anglia, and the only independently run lighthouse in Great Britain.
Built in 1790, originally one of a pair – the tower is 85ft tall and the lantern is 134ft above sea level. The ‘low light’ which was discontinued in 1883 was 20ft lower and the pair formed leading lights marking safe passage around the southern end of the treacherous Haisborough Sands.
Today the lighthouse is painted white with three red bands, and has a light characteristic of Fl (3) W 30s (3 white flashes, repeated every 30secs) with a range of 18 miles.
Saved as a working light by the local community, it is maintained and operated entirely by voluntary contributions. Ref. happisburgh.org.uk/lighthouse/

I've seen lots of spectacular autumn shots on Flickr recently, but I've been unable to capture similar leafy glories. This shot will have to suffice as my contribution.
contribution to macro mondays challenge for 8/7/19, theme: Danger.
And to depict this one of the most dangerous things on the planet from many points of view. This may well be on the borders of what is acceptable and it's questionable just how much of the image is driven by introspection.
Finally: "no drugs were harmed in the making of this image". Just one paracetamol capsule and a teaspoon of flour. The hardest part was finding money that still rolls up!

Caravaggio arrived in Malta in 1607, fleeing Rome following a murder. There, he sought refuge in the Order of the Knights of St. John, hoping for protection and immunity. He gained the favor of Grand Master Alof de Wignacourt and was knighted, but his stay was brief and turbulent. During his stay, he created important works such as the "Beheading of St. John the Baptist" and "Saint Jerome Writing," both of which are housed in St. John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta. Due to a dispute with another Knight, he was expelled from the Order and left Malta, taking refuge in Caravaggio's stay in Messina was marked by intense artistic activity, but also by turbulent events, such as the wounding of a schoolteacher and his subsequent flight from the city. The two works that remain in Messina testify to Caravaggio's unparalleled talent and his contribution to art history, even during a turbulent period in his life.

Contribution to MM challenge for 22/7/19, theme: "Gone Fishing"
Another challenge involving food!! At least this time it's healthy. Or at least it was until I cooked it in a ton of butter and and drowned my salad with olive oil!
So glad to have help to sort out the mess my cables always are in. My contribution to this weeks Macro Mondays with theme cable.
Being introduced to the totality of reality is not without consequences for one’s relationship with it. If we do not perceive its meaning, reality does not move us to the point of becoming interesting to us. This is the origin of nihilism, of that position that ends in boredom, because nothing arouses my interest. We thought that reality could go on being attractive even without a meaning, reduced to mere appearances, and that young people could be interested in transmitting mere notions and data, without communicating a theory about meaning. But this did not happen. With the reduction of reality to its immediate aspect, to appearances, a new form of nihilism has appeared, a weak, jovial, cheerful one, in which desire is not awakened, curiosity is not awakened. Now, only he who manages to arouse the self from this feebleness will be able to make a contribution to the dramatic situation in which we find ourselves.

In 1997 Elton John sang a song at a service for Princess Diana that was filled with such emotion. It was a re-written and re-recorded version of his 1973 song “Candle in the Wind”. It became the best-selling single in UK Chart history, broke so many other chart records and won a number of music awards, and it is what has inspire my contribution to this week’s Macro Mondays.

Hi,
This is my contribution to Macro Monday June 27th theme "Line Symmetry". I'm really hoping I have enough symmetry from the forks in this shot to qualify for the theme. I tried with a leaf and didn't like the pictures.
The two forks are in a bath of water+milk with micro LED lighting the bottom of the mill bath since the LED are coloured they created the ethereal glow in the milk. A lot of similar pic use an egg in the middle but since we just bought cherries at the market I decided the color and texture was nicer.
Hope you like it.
The lit arches of the Margaret McDermott Bridge in Dallas Texas part of Interstate 30 which is just west of Downtown Dallas and crosses the Trinity River. The Margaret McDermott Bridge which was built as part of the Trinity River Project was named after one of Dallas’s most beloved philanthropist Margaret McDermott, the wife of the founder of Texas Instruments who was the first individual to make a personal financial contribution which ensured the city of Dallas was able to secure the services of Santiago Calatrava the architect that designed the Oculus Travel Hub in the World Trade Center in New York City. Margaret McDermott was born in 1912 and lived to be 106 years of age.

My photostream, admin contributions, and montage artwork have all suffered a bit lately while I have been making preparations for a much anticipated road trip. Once again I will be driving from California across Nevada and Utah to visit my daughter and grandson in Colorado. And this time I will be packing them up and driving some more to Lander, Wyoming where we will be accommodated in “The Bunkhouse” on a llama ranch. I will keep up whenever possible, but until I return toward the end of August my comments and participation in all my favorite groups may be a bit catch-as-catch-can. Apologies in advance!
My contribution to Macro Mondays' challenge, "Photographic equipment", on 25 November 2024. It's been a while since I used any of these, and not just because I no longer have a 72mm lens.
My contribution on this weeks theme 'odd' @ Fotosöndag is about an unique birding event that most Sweedes know about
The gathering of thousands of Common Cranes and people wathing them @ Lake Hornborga every spring & autumn is - in positive terms - a very unique phenomenon. The photo shows my son climbing in front of the lake, a symbol that birding can be a great family event! During the pandemic the number of people visiting the lake have been less, so social distancing were not a problem
The reasons why so many cranes makes a pitstop at this lake is a fascanating story, you can read about it at my photo Important Wetland

..my contribution to the topic: 'dandelion' for this year.
The Occupy Wall Street movement became known not only for its gathering culture and the creative communication tools that developed around it. Because the authorities prohibited the use of technology, individual contributions were repeated with a slogan. Listeners expressed their responses through hand gestures.
De occupy Wallstreet beweging werd niet alleen bekend om haar cultuur van samenkomst en de creatieve communicatie middelen die zich eromheen ontwikkelde. Omdat de autoriteiten het gebruik van technologie verboden waren, werden de individuele bijdragen herhaald met een leuzenspreuk. Luisteraars gaven hun reacties door middel van handgebaren.

Whenever I need peace and quite or need to calm my thoughts down I take a walk into our forest and feel the surroundigs calm me down. This is also my contribution to this weeks FotoSöndag that has light as the theme.
My contribution for F unit Friday is this good looking FP7A from April of 1978. Tight quarters forced this nose heavy shot at the engine house, but it seems to accentuate the graceful lines of EMD's classic design. Schiller Park, for me, wasn't one of those places where I could linger and explore different viewing angles. I guess that for every three times I was there, one of those times I was asked to leave. (I was starting to get a complex!) Of course, I was trespassing, but it was a different world back then. More often than not, at most places, the employees would either ignore you or stop and talk trains. Yep, times have sure changed.
For my offering for Super Saturated Sunday today I thought I would take an innocuous, unprepossessing photograph (of which I have a vast collection) and quickly turn it into some lurid faux Modern Art that might vaguely emulate the kind you see for sale in galleries for tens of thousands of pounds.
This is a picture of bubbles in the frozen water in a broken mug in my garden taken at the end of December. (For a more normal version of another image taken at the same time see flic.kr/p/2kpGhPy ).
It was developed and processed in Affinity Photo, but the fancy stuff done using Nik Color Efex. The bulk of the effect was due to solarisation combined with a bi-colour filter to create more of a colour gradient across the image, a technique I have used often for this sort of overcooked colour from nothing approach.
A total stack of eight or nine filters was used (it was playtime after all) with some contribution from things like glows and soft focus, selective contrast and graduated ND filter effects. (If you’d like the preset I made from this do ask :) ).
So that was the first twenty minutes dealt with so what should I do with the rest?
Well, I decided to extend the gallery metaphor and make the work look a bit as if it had been hung on a wall. I combined broad frame with directional drop shadow and embossing and then used the Lighting filter to add three spotlights pointing downward as if had been lit from above. I also used the same filter to add a textured, impasto element to the painting and give it some relief.
So there we are. You know where to send those five-figure cheques, don’t you?
I’ll add a link to the in-camera original so you can see where we came from.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you are wearing your sunglasses. Happy Sliders Sunday!! :)

Here is my contribution to the Super Flower Blood moon total
lunar eclipse on 5-15-2022.
We drove about an our east to the grassland plains of Colorado. We found just the rights windmill for a bit of foreground to go along with the different phases of the lunar eclipse. This is a composite of the moon phases starting at about 8:00pm and ending around 10:30pm. Luckily we had clearing skies and subsiding wind. It was a beautiful night under the moon.
Nikon D850 with Nikkor 300mmF4 PF lens. Various shutter speeds, apertures and ISO’s. Each moon and windmill are individual shots, combined by hand in Photoshop.
