Pictured here is a small nocturnal insectivorous bat, common in Ecuador’s Amazon region. It feeds on flying insects, snatching them from the air like tiny flying pigs. This bat is attracted to insects, insects are attracted to lights – including head torches. My advice from personal experience is to turn off your head torch when ‘buzzed’ by an insectivorous bat. Better to brave the darkness than risk an accidental faceplant from a bat.
Cool macro I got of my laptop keyboard. This is actually in color but the difference is so minute if I switched it to B&W that there wasnt much point. It's much better viewed full.

This flower was cool, but a little kiss of photoshop makes it sizzle.

3 JUNE 12
My intention this morning was to go out for another personal photowalk. I headed out at 6:30am because it is so hot here, that now I must resort to early morning treks. So I get downtown and I realize, I'm sort of bored of it. My mission three years ago was to photograph one street at a time, and I'm now at the 50% mark, so I didn't even bother to get out. I just turned the car around and began to drive to H park so I could capture good old fashioned nature. Then out of the corner of my eye I see my street art obsession, Daniel "Weah" Anguilu's work. I photographed this building a year ago, but only the one side, but now it is on the roof, on the backs of the building, all the way around. So I hopped out and got all kinds of shots. I was so giddy. This man "owns" Houston! Every corner now I see his work. As soon as I think I've got 'em all, 10 more Spring up.
So I finish with this building and I'm now officially on my way to H park when I pull up to a stoplight and the two guys on either side of me are discussing how the one wants a job with the other. Green light, get to the next light and there sitting in the middle of the street directly across from me is a completely naked man!!! Legs open showing all his glory to the world. I'm pretty sure this guy was probably missing a few screws because the look on his face was completely blank, like cold, dead eyes. In the location I was at, we have metro rails on either side that do not allow for right or left turns on the one way across the rail, so I had to sit there until the light turned green. Awkward!!!
Next it was on in search of a hidden gem called the paper trees. I saw a hint of them at 3am last year coming back from a party, but just never got around to taking the photo. I had to do some crazy driving round and round to get a parking spot to get to this place, but it was totally worth it.
And finally I get to H park and it is the stuff of dreams. The early morning light was hitting everything just right. I got some cool macros and pix of ducks swimming in the sunlight. Then I found a hidden path that led to pure awesomeness. Cue the song "Pure Imagination." Strange birds, rabbits, turtles, beavers, squirrels, a duck that tried to fight me...ugh, I was sooo gone. Me and my camera were totally gone.
After my adventure on the hidden trail, I get back to civilization and what do I hear...this guy yelling and cursing at this woman. She's clearly pissed and so is he. Its barily 8 in the morning...what could they possibly be so angry about. I started walking in their direction because it started to get ugly. He was yelling out not just curse words but he was referencing some pretty lude descriptions of certain body parts. The mother next to me who just rolled up with her daughter and her baby looked at me, and I looked at her, and she started yelling for her older child to stay close. This is the point where the crusader in me kicked in. Two reasons....one, I've told this story several times, but I had an ex-co-worker who as violently assaulted and I watch What would you do and they talked about this issue and people's general inactivity when it comes to seeing women in trouble....so I started walking toward the woman and I was going to ask her, hey do you need help or for me to call 9-1-1, but before I could even do any of that she'd reached this bathroom pavillion and he started to walk fast on her and then I saw her open the door and he literally grabbed her arm and shoved her in and closed the door. At this point I'm about 50 yards away and since the other woman had gone off to play with her kids, I was by myself. I didn't want to go in to the bathroom because there was no one watching me and who knows if this guy was armed. Then there were no witnesses if I did call the police. So I sat down on a nearby stone top and said to myself, I'll wait here so that if she does come out again, I can ask if she needs help or anything...5 minutes, 10, 15, nothing. I hear the door shake even at the distance I was, but I'm like what do I do. Twenty minutes passed and still nothing. I really did try and do the right thing in this situation, but think I failed. After a little while longer, I walked off. In the other situations I've seen and stuff like this has happened, I had witnesses, I was able to call the police, or get a manager to help me, or at least talk to the woman in distress, but not this time, and as I was telling this story later on, my friend was like, why didn't you just call the police...but in domestics, its a catch 22 because they are going to say to me did you see him hit her, and well, I didn't...he can deny shoving her arm and say he just touched her arm, and if she is one of those women who will never admit she's in danger, it may be next to impossible to get her to admit anything happened.
So all of this happened before 9am. Its been a strange and crazy morning...I'm going to do some editing and then put the photos up later.
So i got this new lens for my camera...it is a semi fisheye. i have since realized i should have gotten a lower number like a .22 because the fisheye effect isn't as obvious on a .35 i am debating on if i should send it back... It does have this cool macro lens which i was playing with the other day. I still dont know what I am doing but i rather liked these mysterious shots i took of a pin cushion...Does anyone know anything about these lenses?
Not enough to give the boys their much wished for snow day, but enough to get a few cool macro shots... Every one is different! ;)
1837 entwickelte der Grobschmied John Deere (* 7. Februar 1804 in Rutland (Vermont), † 17. Mai 1886 in Moline) in Grand Detour (Illinois, 22 km südlich von Oregon (Illinois)) mit einem bis dahin unbekanntem Schärf- und Polierverfahren (ursprünglich für Ledernadeln entwickelt) den ersten selbstreinigenden Stahlpflug und legte damit das Fundament für sein Unternehmen Deere & Company, besser bekannt unter dem Markenzeichen John Deere.
1956 übernahm Deere & Company die deutsche Heinrich Lanz AG, deren Stammwerk in Mannheim den legendären Lanz Bulldog fertigte.

this is one of the dragons that visited me last summer and he really wasn’t bothered about how close i got – if only i had an mpe! (it’s a cool macro lens)
he also started doing these movements (see below) – there was another male very close by at the time – does anyone know what he was doing?
also the very last shot is to see if someone can ID him for me – he was just by the dragons, but didn’t stay still for long!
(PLEASE NO AWARDS OR PICTURES OR FLASHY BADGES)
First test with focus stacking. Only now learned that this is a viable method for creating cool macro shots (amongs others) and wanted to give this a try.
This is composed of 6 shots, using Helicon Focus (www.heliconsoft.com/heliconfocus.html), which has a free 30 day trial. Very easy to use.
As you can see there's still some spots that are blurry, which I think means I need more shots. Learning is fun!
I spotted this insect on the Hostas just as I came home from my afternoon walk with the dog. It's been a foggy drizzly kind of day, just right for some cool macro shots. Hope you like!
Vacation is over and back to reality, which means inside shots unless I get to find time to step out during work week and weather permitting :)
The remote looked very interesting when looked at this angle, hence I went for it. Not sure if this shot qualifies for low key but its my 1st attempt.

ok, so that’s a slightly modified paraphrase of what i yelled when i found this little beast in my sink one night in africa. sheesh! can’t a girl brush her teeth in peace? apparently not.
actually, this thing was really neat looking, and i remember thinking to myself “ooooooh, cool macro!”. but it had the rather unfortunate habit of holding completely still for unpredictable but long-ish amounts of time, then suddenly leaping 8 inches into the air like some sort of reptilian jackie chan. a small freak-out later, i abandoned my macro dreams and got reacquainted with my zoom lens.
so, bad light, bad angle…too bad.
Shot on iPhone 4.
I had to go to Sydney today to interview a writer (Nicholas Sparks) and a film director (Scott Hicks). That meant an early morning, which is not good because I've had a week of early mornings in the battle with Lucy the possum who is terrorising my house.
So far what I've learnt about Lucy the possum is that she's not very smart; and yet she's out-smarting me.
As for today's pic, I really wanted to get a shot out the window in the style of 365 mate Giovanni, but my shots didn't look anywhere near as good from my little window way at the back. The top shot was taken though the window of the cab at 5.30am. The cab driver quite liked the idea of a 365. And I've added an instagram architecture shot in comments I took in Sydney today because, well, I like it.
And for my 365 mates, he's a story that will give you nightmares. Dennis Eagles is in our 365 (he lives in Brisbane, like me) for those who don't know him. He does wicked macros. Anyway, he falls asleep on the couch the other night and wakes up at 11.50pm knowing he hasn't taken a picture. In the end, he does a cool macro just in time. The Exif shows he shot it at 11.59:49. That 11 secs up his sleeve kept him in the game.
I'll catch up with you guys tomorrow. I'm beat and have to get a few hours sleep before Lucy starts mucking up.
I've taken inspiration from malodora, with her use of older canes... and from rubarb, and TinaT (and many others!) with their 3D flowers.
Not colors I'm fond of (hence the reason this was an unused, older cane!) but it turned out kind of cool!

This cool macro attachment I made for my Chinon 55mm 1.4 emanates an aperture of .95 . While it obviously has it's downsides being a DIY macro lens/attachment, for it's specific purpose of getting some of close detail sharp, it does the trick.

In politics and sociology,
divide and rule
(derived from Latin divide et impera) (also known as divide and conquer)
is a combination of political, military and economic strategy of gaining and maintaining power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into chunks that individually have less power than the one implementing the strategy.
In reality, it often refers to a strategy where small power groups are prevented from linking up and becoming more powerful, since it is difficult to break up existing power structures.
