Another with the OM 35mm f2 lens at probably f5.6. There's some chromatic aberation, but pretty good for an old lens and I like the fly which I didn't notice IRL. I like the way the series turned out; captures some of the end of fall malaise that sets in before the snow flies.
This is a new version of an image by the same title that I posted a while back. When I made that post John Walford wrote the following poem as a comment:
Seemingly framed by mellowed dome,
Its chalky surface trapping shadows,
In its pitted, once-white surface,
Hand cupped to her mouth,
Hair pulled into a bunch,
Eyes set fast before her,
She calls but one sound, and waits,
For what may--or will--come back to her.

A new mural in Eindhoven, painted by Studio Giftig for Muziekgebouw Eindhoven and Gemeente Eindhoven: Echoes of Harmony.
It took the fellas a bit over 3 weeks to paint this beast; rain was mostly part of their problem... plus the fact Kas and Niels love to chat... a lot. Like really: they can talk all day without boring themselves.
Anyways, the mural depicts a man and a woman, both playing a musical instrument. The man resembles a street musician playing a harmonica, where the woman plays a violin, fitting the walls of Muziekgebouw Eindhoven where there are frequent concerts.
There is something about chasing light (and always chasing light). The scramble to find the right spot to be because you somehow feel you are not already there. And then in ways that cannot fully be described, there you are, at the edge of a field where you pulled over after leaving the last spot you were in (which you thought was THE spot, and it was in its own way but you didn't realize you would soon find this spot as well). There is a sense of passing in such moments, that short window of time and light, knowing that where and when you are standing is measured in seconds, maybe minutes. It is beautiful, even more so than the sunset-drenched clouds overhead and the quiet fields in front where the frogs and crickets are just beginning to wake up. It is a sentiment expressed in the quiet rustle of the evening breeze. Those are easy moments to photograph in and they are hard moments to photograph in. It is difficult to not just remain perfectly still and silent and try to breathe as deeply as you can, soaking as much of that rare moment in to take with you when the time inevitably arrives and the light slips away. And you quietly set the camera away and climb back in your car and move on, in part because you have to and in part because there is other light to chase and other right spots to arrive at and be in.

A short distance on I-80 East, after the junction of I-80 and I-84. To better understand the scale, there are four lanes of divided traffic between me and the cliffs ... too far below to see.
P98 approaches the yard with the setting sun behind them with a solo LHF dash 9. The echoes of its well-tuned 1st gen K5LA were very soothing as it blew excessively for the Simmons Street crossing.
Echo de menos los tejados ... los terrados; sus antenas, cables de television y esas pinzas de madera quemadas por el Sol tendidas en el suelo, en busca de consuelo que las haga útiles de nuevo ...
Echo de menos las alturas, los últimos pisos, el trasiego del vaiven de subir y bajar hasta quedar sin aliento, sin fuerzas en las piernas ... y en el corazón ...
Echo de menos los cielos, la nube que fue creada con el sudor de cada uno de mis escalones, hasta donde yaces, inerte e inmóvil para los ojos ...
Las emisoras de radio, las señales de televisión averiadas, el viento con olor a cena recien hecha de fritanga, el sandwich de medianoche, y hasta el vaso usado que sirve de cenicero ...
Echo de menos ese sabor, el de ceniza pasada, sin pasado y sin futuro ... sin presente y sin sabor ... el sabor de despues de "hacerlo" ...
Echo de menos el "súbeme el pan" y el "bájame la basura", y el cruce de miradas infinito en las alturas de un pasillo interminable que conduce a dos habitaciones donde duermen la realidad, y la ficción ...
Echo de menos los tejados ... el vaiven en las alturas de los últimos pisos, y hasta lo que nunca he tenido, hasta eso ... echo de menos ...

"Echoes of Observation," part of the 'Momentum' series, captures a silent symphony of artistic dialogue. Here, a spectator stands absorbed in twin reflections of reality—an introspective woman and a photographer in action—each echoing the live moment shared between the viewer and myself, the unseen observer behind the lens. The scene, framed in monochrome, juxtaposes the contemplative stillness of the subject against the active creation of art, alluding to the perpetual cycle where viewers and creators continuously influence and reflect one another. This photograph is a study in the recursive nature of observation, an intentional blend of life imitating art and art imitating life, where every moment is both a mirror and a window to a deeper narrative.

I took the picture of the moon yesterday morning. The moon looked OK but was a little boring by itself so I started to think of a way to punch it up a little.
I used a new app I have to add in the falcon, then used PicMonkey to blend it in and added a little dark boarder around the picture.
Hope you like it.
Another from my short bimble around the Albert Dock area of Liverpool last week.
Just a bloke with a simple camera and a polariser.
The road down to Steamboat Rock where the Yampa and Green Rivers meet in Dinosaur National Monument.
So this is Echo now, he is a IOS sezz on a 68cm popodoll body and I am completely happy with how is is now :D
For any musicians out there, this is the original echo chamber that the switch on your amplifier imitates
This photo was taken by a Hasselblad 500C medium format film camera with a Carl Zeiss Planar 1:2.8 f=80mm lens and Zenza Bronica 67mm SY48•2C(Y2) filter using Kodak 400TX film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
This is my daughter at ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center in Burlington, Vermont. This wasn't a window to an aquarium, it's actually just a big blue light that illuminates some stairs. I'll be able to do shots like this much better with my new lens soon.
I just bought my first DSLR online a couple of days ago. I got the Canon Rebel Xsi with the kit lens, which I've read is an improvement from the one that came with the Xti. I wanted the Live View feature also, so that made my decision for me. I was considering getting the body only with a Tamron 17-50mm zoom lens, but decided against it because I couldn't spend that much more. I also got the much touted Canon 50mm F/1.4 lens for it (which would have been great for a better version of this shot). Can't wait to get my new toys in the next week, I'm giddy with anticipation! : )
I want a good wide angle and macro lens eventually, too. I'd probably want a zoom lens with macro capability (or a prime) and a 10mm-20mm wide angle. Any recommendations?

somehow ended up at camp this summer. my family packed up and drove the six hours, arrived at midnight and left the next morning before noon. worthwhile.

60 metres high, with 42 enclosed capsules overlooking Albert Dock, Liverpol's Echo Wheel affords spectacular panoramic views of the city, across the River Mersey & all the way to the Welsh mountains. Nearing the end of its 2nd year, am not sure that it's yet been declared a permanent feature. No, I didn't ride it. Vertigo is my middle name *~*
Big Echo is a chain of karaoke clubs.
Ginza has so many taxi's.
Forgive my indulgence.
I really like the color and clarity characteristics of this older 24mm AI fully manual lens.

Located about 3 miles south of downtown Fort Worth, this long-abandoned municipal incinerator near Echo Lake still stands, unused for perhaps over 40 years now. Detailed information on it's past is somewhat sketchy, but it seems the facility was built sometime in the 1950's and was in service for only a few years before changes in EPA regulations forced it's closure sometime in the 60's, as well as it's sister facility, just north of downtown.
The sturdy brick & concrete construction has enabled the building to largely retain it's structural integrity over the past few decades, despite the abuse, disuse and neglect that comes naturally from abandonment. That said, there are a couple spots on the tar & gravel roof that have caved in, and I discovered an appreciable amount of standing water on other parts of it , after climbing the 25 foot interior ladder up to it, in the dark. In short, the roof is NOT a safe place to be...
During the 80's & 90's the place evidently became a hotbed for drug activity, with many deals occuring on the premises. At some point during this period, a woman came there to make a purchase, and somehow managed to fall 40 feet to her death into the massive, 20-foot deep trash hoppers on the ground floor. Did she fall...did she jump...or was she pushed?
As that story points out, this is a fairly dangerous place to go poking around, especially in the dark. For example, the 3rd floor has two large rectangular holes, each perhaps 4x6 feet, located in the middle of the walkway, leaving only a narrow one-foot strip of concrete between them and a low wall...all that protects you from duplicating the drug buyer's fall. The fall through the hole would certainly be preferable, perhaps even survivable, if you can manage to grab some of the furnace on your way down to slow your fall...perhaps only 15 to 20 feet.
Anyway, the incinerator is a great spot for interior light-painting; lots of different surfaces, angles and large, open areas to give space & depth to your shots, when desired...just be careful on that 3rd floor!
Night, full moon, 2 minute exposure.
Mt Evans towers in the distance while clouds and blue sky reflect in Echo Lake.
I think that this has to be one of the best cloud shots I have personally taken. I really nailed the texture and white balance of how the clouds looked while sitting there composing the shot.
Definitely one of my personal favs of this trip.

long time, no mythology! so this is my photo for Echo, a nymph cursed to speak only the repeated words of others...
i wish i could say something fun about this shoot, but it was truly awful. i lost my remote apparently so i was self timing and these rocks shredded my feet. i also rolled my ankle which isn't a huge deal unless your like me and have broken your ankles 7 times.... the good things about self timing are the dynamic poses...but im still really happy with this:)
