Canon 500D,EF-S 55-250 IS II.

Spotted this Farmer eves dropping into a conversation. Either that or he was in a world of his own.

With Britta , the great Belgian workhorse , there are no limits.

 

Seen at Schiermonnikoog, the smallest inhabited Wadden Island of the Netherlands. Population 700 people.

 

A young man with a thoughtful expression stands in a dimly lit setting, his hands resting on his chin as he gazes off to the side. He is wearing a black t-shirt and has a tattoo visible on his left wrist. The background is shrouded in darkness, creating a stark contrast with the man's figure.

Surrounded by the warm colors of autumn – a moment filled with calm, reflection, and quiet strength.

Shades of brown, gold, and a touch of melancholy – like autumn itself: fleeting, yet full of color and life.

And what do you associate with autumn?

Umgeben von den warmen Farben des Herbstes – ein Augenblick voller Ruhe, Nachdenklichkeit und stiller Stärke.

Brauntöne, Gold und ein Hauch Melancholie – wie der Herbst selbst: vergänglich und doch voller Farbe und Leben.

Und was verbindest du mit dem Herbst?

Priscilla exploring the city

Shot this in the Finger Lakes, New York while we were camping.

 

You know, I've been thinking about this shot after I posted it. The car, arguably one of the most important or at least, essential inventions in our day to day life. Of the 20th century in our first world countries anyway. Only a house is a bigger investment on average. It got us here where I shot this. It's protected me from the elements, my home away from home. And yet look at what it's doing to our planet, to our climate.

 

At the same time look at this sky. We aren't but a speck in the universe both in size and time. What does the universe care about the things we are doing to ourselves, to the things around us? If we are not careful we'll just be space junk. Humbling, really. It must have been the thing in my subconscious that decided to leave the car in the shot.

double exposure

Some of my conclusions at Stanford's VLAB 2014.

 

I am reminded of the closing chapter in Danny Hillis' book The Pattern on the Stone: “We will not engineer an artificial intelligence; rather we will set up the right conditions under which an intelligence can emerge. The greatest achievement of our technology may well be creation of tools that allow us to go beyond engineering – that allow us to create more than we can understand.”

so I got this idea to buy this cloak, and then I finally ordered it. They said 7 to 10 days. Took them over 24 days to finally get it to me. I have been trying to get around to taking pictures I want with it. But weather hasn't helped out any, and the paranoia of someone stealing my camera. while I am out blind taking pictures, or incapacitated to chase them down has limited me. But yet I try and draw inspiration from a couple different people I follow on here. People and pictures listed in spot of people in photo. So go check out my inspirations in their profile bubbles below. They are inspirations in different parts of this picture. I never seem to give people enough credit. So this is my little way of giving back.

More tinkering with gear. Today this lovely "on the fly" portrait was done without posing on planned setup. Lovely lady was watching TV and I asked if it was OK to snap away. She said yes and I asked her to be natural and not pose.

 

Canon EOS 5D Mark III with Hasselblad 80mm f2.8 CFE T*, with Vizilex ND Throttle (Hasselblad V to Canon) adapter. Canon Speedlight 430EX II on camera flash set at 1/2 power. Had the ND on the adapter set at about 5 stops. Lens was wide open.

 

Not sure but I think the ND filter is giving a color cast particularly the background which was beige color. Need more testing to be sure. Anyone with any experience with ND with flash indoors or Vizilex ND adapters?

We met this seagull meandering, apparently steeped in thought, on the banks of the Thames exposed by low tide.
