O controlo da luz? Não! Um dia quando eu morrer, e espero que esse dia esteja muito distante, eu ainda não saberei controlá--la, em pleno.
Rule of composition
-The background does not distract the viewer from the main subject (the window). Instead, the turquoise colored wall adds visual interest to the picture.
How it's a good photo
-The photo contains more than one rule of compositions and this makes it a good photo. The background is controlled so that the subject is the only thing that is being observed. The photo also follows the rule of thirds because the subject is placed on an intersection line, which is a natural point of interest for the viewer. Also, the color theme is aesthetically interesting.
How can I improve the photo
-The quality of the picture can be improved by keeping the lens of the camera clean. There should also be more focus on the subject of the photo. We can achieve focus by getting closer to the subject and keeping the camera steady.

La vie et la mort de Ian Curtis, chanteur du groupe mythique de rock anglais des années 70 Joy Division. Tiraillé entre sa vie de famille, sa gloire naissante et son amour pour une autre femme, Ian Curtis s'est suicidé le 18 mai 1980 à l'âge de 23 ans, à la veille de la tournée américaine du groupe qui s'annonçait triomphale.
Ian Curtis a changé le rock sans le vouloir, sans le savoir.

Trabajos de Prevención de Incendios Forestales de ADIF realizados por Regeneracio Forestal S.L. Se trata de trabajos de tratamiento herbicida realizados por personal de REFOR S.L. Bajo la supervisión de los Técnicos y Pilotos de Seguridad de la misma. Todo el personal participante en las tareas de tratamiento herbicida posee la habilitación profesional de técnicos en tratamientos fitosanitarios y forman parte también del equipo un conductor con habilitación de transportes ADR (mercancías peligrosas) un recurso preventivo y un Piloto de Seguridad con habilitación de ADIF todos ellos personal de REFOR S.L. Se utiliza para la aplicación de los herbicidas maquinaria de tratamientos fitosanitarios individual (mochilas) que son de gran efectividad en este tipo de tratamientos, sus ventajas principales es que el tratamiento es dirigido por los operarios a aquellas zonas que es necesario (no es indiscriminado), de tal forma se puede llegar correctamente al 100 % de la superficie de trabajo venciendo la orografía de terreno y reduciendo las derivas de producto que podrían afectar a cultivos próximos, cauces o ecosistemas, el impacto ambiental de los tratamientos utilizando mochilas de aplicación individuales es mínimo. En zonas puntuales donde las circunstancias del terreno y la zona lo permitían se ha utilizado para los tratamientos de herbicida maquinaria especial de tratamientos sobre vehículos.
REFOR S.L. dispone de diverso personal con las habilitaciones OMI (Operario de Maquinaria de Infraestructuras) que les permite la conducción por las vías del ferrocarril tanto como de camiones bimodales, pickups, dumpers, giratorias todo ellos vehículos bimodales con diploris autorizados para circular por las vías.
Trabajos englobados en las tareas de creación de una franja de seguridad a ambos lados de la vía del ferrocarril para que esta ejerza como franja de seguridad contra incendios forestales en las vías de ADIF, estas franjas tienen una doble misión, por una parte evitar que se produzcan incendios en las inmediaciones de la vía tanto por actividades ferroviarias como ajenas a las mismas y por otra parte actúa como cortafuegos evitando que en caso de que este se produzca, se pueda propagar o ayudando a que se extinga al llegar a estas zonas limpias de vegetación. Estos trabajos se realizaron en la línea La Encina - Alicante perteneciente a la Gerencia de Albacete. Puede apreciarse en la fotografía que la vegetación del la línea tras los constantes desbroces y tratamientos herbicidas efectuados por Regeneración Forestal S.L. está controlada habiéndose reducido el riesgo de prevención de incendios forestales en las inmediaciones del ferrocarril a “0”.
REGENERACIO FORESTAL S.L. garantiza la calidad y seguridad de sus trabajos para lo cual tiene implantado en la empresa y certificado por AENOR el “Sistema de Calidad UNE-EN-ISO 9011.2008”, el “Sistema de gestión medioambiental UNE-EN-ISO 14001.2.004” y el “Sistema de Gestión de Riesgos Laborales OSHAS 18001.2.007”.

Suffolk has been occupied for much of its history, most recently by the many military installations that still litter the county. The guided walk explores parts of what remains of the original airbase at Bentwaters with a detour to the Grade I listed Wantisden church now outside but once inside the perimeter fence.
“Control Headquarters” doesn't exist! However, this building I photographed does! Image editing consisted of converting to black and white, dodging, burning and levels adjustments.

Full Artist's Statement
For me “Control Headquarters” is a representation of a mythical man made structure where the agents of Control work against the forces of Chaos. It is a digital photo of an actual architectural structure in my home town, Perth. Image editing consisted of converting to black and white, dodging, burning and levels adjustments.
Thanks to the television series “Get Smart” with agents 86 and 99 for inspiring the title. The image reminds me of the elaborate entry into Control Headquarters that agent 86 had go through at the start of each show.
There is nothing organic or random about the structure. It’s constructed entirely of man made building materials. It’s a totally controlled environment.
Down in the bowels of this structure is a door to an office. The light is on.
But is it a case of “The light is on but nobody’s home!” ?
Does Control Headquarters really exist? Does Control exist?
Despite all our supposed intelligence, technological creations, and maturity my life experience has shown me that we (human beings) have very little control over our lives even when it may appear otherwise. Seemingly random events can quickly turn our lives into turmoil.
I assert that control does not exist and that we would all do better to stop chasing the dream of control. Let’s face it if we ever got to a point of total control it would probably bore us to death. We need to be more embracing of change and the randomness of life to cope better with all that this chaotic life throws at us.
At an exhibition of this work a fellow photographic artist Louise Mann also of Perth remarked to me that she loved the “7” in the work. I had not intentionally sort to create a number within the structure and hadn’t seen it. Initially very surprised I hadn’t seen it then very annoyed because once pointed out I couldn’t stop seeing it.
Damn! I didn't intend people to see 7 but once pointed out it was bleedin’ obvious and I was worried it might detract from the image and spoil the message I was trying to get across with the image. I was hoping the viewer would see an office door with bright light glowing through glass windows above and to the side of the door - the entry to Control Headquarters - where the light is on but nobody is home!
So I asked her what the “7” meant to her. She replied :-
“The '7' in control headquarters is, in my opinion, wonderfully discordant! It’s an odd number so its not generating implied balance, but it’s not as acceptable as '3' nor as tidy as '5'. It leaves me with the question - 'what is the significance of '7'?' This doesn't have to be a question of the photographer's significance, just the significance of it appearing all on its own! Because it’s the lightest part of the image, I'm drawn to it and I'm wanting to work it out - I can't, but I want to - so that gives the image the power of drawing me back to it.”
– Louise Mann, Photographic Artist, in reply email 29 August 2006.
I agree with Louise’s assessment of the 7 as wonderfully discordant. Once seen it certainly made me feel uncomfortable and drew me into the image again and again. I also can't work it out.
I think this is because it is one of only a few recognisable elements in the image that a viewer can latch on to make sense of what the image is. The other elements are small and in the shadows so being the brightest element the 7 really leaps out as the recognisable. However after recognising the 7 the viewer can't build on that base to understand what the image is because it is out of context. Leading the viewer to try to disregard the 7 to read the image again. Also the fact that the 7 is separated into 2 parts begs the question is it really a 7? Does the 7 belong in the image? If that's a 7 what is the rest of the image?
This struggle to resolve the ambiguity of the image and find something recognisable and solid to grab onto ties back beautifully into the title and theme of the work "Control Headquarters". I think that resolving the ambiguity is our first reaction to control our lives. Recognising what we see (our environment), categorising it, and taking appropriate action allows us to avoid harm and feel safe and secure.
The strong geometry and other recognisable elements in the image along with the fact that is a photo of a real world subject give enough clues to what the image is of that a viewer can't automatically categorise it as "Abstract" and happily move on to the next image. They will try to work out what it is to control it.
By dodging the 7 to absolute white (or just about) to create the window effect I was after I have really introduced a new element into the image which is out of context and discordant. Being the brightest part it draws the viewers attention to it however because it is very small the rest of the image actually manages to compete with it for the viewers attention.
The importance the eye wants to attribute to the 7 just because it is the brightest part of the image is discordant with the amount of real estate it occupies on the paper. I think our brain recognises that discordance and logically looks to analyse the rest of the image to make sense of it but our eye keeps getting drawn back to the highlight 7.
I am very pleased with this result as this quandary certainly adds considerable depth and impact to an image that started out as a study of geometry and a play of light.

We used the temp controller as a easy bake oven to make saag paneer. I started off with a
gallon of week old raw milk and just added a little yogurt and kefir
whey. I placed the milk in a 110F chest cooler for the next eight
hours. A 75W light bulb was being driven by the temp controller to
hold temperature. It looks like this yogurt cheese would also be great
for fondue.
