A solo red poppy blooms in the middle of the Lavender fields of the Valensole plateau in Provence. I caught the TGV from Paris following a busy week of meetings to enjoy an afternoon and evening in the Lavender fields of southern France before flying home the next day. It was a tiny bit early, but I'm glad I took the chance because there were several fields that had bloomed enough to give a good sense of that beautiful purple color. The ideal time is probably last few days of June and first few days of July. However, the crowds must be pretty tedious at that time. There were certainly a few flower peepers out there already, but the hordes had not yet descended en masse. Couple that with the extreme heat that most of Europe is now experiencing and I'm quite happy to have been there when I did. It is such a beautiful area, and of course the Lavender fields have been popularized to such a high degree over the years that all the photos start to look the same. I tried to find some different comps, but sadly none played out as well as the tried-and-true.
PS. Some behind-the-scenes notes. I would have liked to bring the poppies a little bit more front and center but there's like a dozen people to my right just out of frame here, I couldn't move closer without getting in front of them (or behind them). I also used f20 aperture because I was shooting with telephoto and I wanted to get as much as possible in focus. I wouldn't normally do that and I had been trying to shoot different focus points at lower f-stop to do some focus stacking, but by this time I was rapidly running out of light and color and there were too many people walking around so I had to shoot quickly. Not ideal, but I don't think it worked out too badly.
On the editing side, there were some damned telephone wires going right behind that tree which I felt compelled to clone/heal out. It is a tedious process in Lightroom as LRs clone tool is not nearly as intelligent at blending as Photoshop. I should've used PS but I need to reinstall it, and I didn't feel like waiting and I thought it'd be easier to do in LR than it turned out to be. Finally, I took this image using Pentax's Pixel Shift, which Adobe only recently added support for in LR. I used to edit by bringing the pixel shift file into Raw Therapee to process and then move to LR. LR's pixel shift processing is not as good, so there are still some artifacts left here from moving leaves, etc. if you peep real close. I plan to run it back through RT and PS to do it right one of these days. This issue would affect Sony, Panasonic and other pixel shift implementations as well.

Photo taken with a Canon 1100D with 18-55mm lens with Xit wide angle lens attachment
camera Minolta Panoramic Zoom 28, film Fomapan 400, developed in Compard r09 1:50 for 14 min in 19 degrees
These are the bristles of a very colorful and funky hairbrush.
Strobist info:
The brush was illuminated by one Nikon SB900 speedlight with snoot, 40-degrees CR, 6" above camera level, and pointed down at subject at a 40-degree angle.
The SB900 was fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄16 -0.7 EV power and was triggered by two PocketWizard Plus X's.
Lens: Tokina AT-X Pro Macro 100 F2.8 D.

merge of 2 photographs, one as a textured background ...snow, the other sunrise....my 1st attempt at this
Its January in Illinois and -27 with -60 degree wind chills pretty much shut everything down. It wasn’t stopping me from capturing the moment. Hell in a few days its going to be 57 degrees. 80 degree swing in 4 days
Pablo enjoys the warmth of the fireplace! 9 degrees are not enough for hunting outside in the garden.
A solution I found for a 180 degree reversal in a 1x3 brick package. I like the symmetry and the fact that there are two studs on each side. I used this in www.flickr.com/photos/96739476@N04/14201282524/in/photost....
Dawn on the desert - the 4 degree temps and that heavy westerly wind makes this spot west of Antonito just rather chilly at sunrise as Rio Grande class K36 489 heads west with a flanger / plow train - March 6, 2015.
Knolling was the Macro Mondays theme for September 30.
"Knolling is the process of arranging similar objects in parallel or at 90 degree angles as a method of organisation." Frankly, I never heard of it before but I know I've done it.

This stream flows from a cold water spring which stays at a constant 9 degrees celsius year round. The colour is a striking green-blue shade.
9 in the morning, -3 degrees, and when I was concerned this shoot would be too tough, my dancer decides she wants to go barefoot. I can only show my deepest respect for subjects like Wetika, and her insane level of passion and commitment to her craft.
Ice crystals on a window of my veranda yesterday. It was -24 degrees of Celcius and the sun was shining.
simple elements - stone and sky.
Covered with a light frosting of fresh snow. Glacier National Park.
I don't know why, but this one keep staring at me. Sometimes things in life just do that.
Headed up North to find fresh snow, this is the edge of Sunset Crater. I remember checking the odometer (300 miles) with the temperature (30 degrees) and thinking I had a “full house”. When I got back home this shot grabbed my attention with that steep angle, sure enough 30 degrees. I used to think 30 was over the hill, today I have a different perspective!
Be safe and enjoy the new year my FLICKR friends!

Brrr... it has been cold during the last few days. Way below -20°C degrees. This is a different winter, one of those good old ones. The sea covered by a layer of thick ice. Definitely, favorable weather to photograph Bearded Reedlings (Panurus biarmicus) I thought ... and as it had been 3 years since I photographed them for the last time, I was eager, motivated, and all dressed for it... well... got lucky. Happy Days!
yes, our local weather man is bob odenkirk in disguise. the disguise? a crazy ice-cream tie. CHECK OUT THE TIE.
