to be most effective, it should present your point and nothing but your point.
This requires that you crystallize in your own mind, at the time of exposure, just what you are trying to say, to mentally trim the scene down to your subject. Don’t include the whole house, if it’s the intricate doorknocker you are after :-)

Especially effective You can visit that at this place, the Rhein Falls from Schaffhausen. On average 373 cubic meters of water are falling down the rocks per second. On the maximum in 1965 it were 1250 cubic meters per second. That makes that waterfall to one of the three largest in europe.
Dies kann man besonders eindrucksvoll an diesem Ort miterleben, den Rheinfällen bei Schaffhausen. Im Durchschnit stürzen hier 373 Kubikmeter Wasser den Fels hinunter. Maximal waren es 1965 sogar 1250 Kubikmeter pro Sekunde. Damit ist dieser Wasserfall einer der drei größten in Europa.
The Reduviidae are a large cosmopolitan family of the order Hemiptera (true bugs). They are unusual among the Hemiptera because almost all are terrestrial ambush predators (most other predatory Hemiptera are aquatic). The main examples of nonpredatory Reduviidae are some blood-sucking ectoparasites in the subfamily Triatominae. Though spectacular exceptions are known, most members of the family are fairly easily recognizable; they have a relatively narrow neck, sturdy build, and formidable curved proboscis (sometimes called a rostrum). Large specimens should be handled with caution, if at all, because they sometimes defend themselves with a very painful stab from the proboscis. Predatory Reduviidae use the long rostrum to inject a lethal saliva that liquefies the insides of the prey, which are then sucked out. The saliva contains enzymes that digest the tissues they swallow. This process is generally referred to as extraoral digestion. The saliva is commonly effective at killing prey substantially larger than the bug itself. 2201
My father had been diagnosed with colon cancer about 13 months ago. He thought that he had a few months to live, but really wanted to take July off from chemotherapy and tried to fit in one too many chemo treatments. I was called by my mom to come home very early on Friday morning. The chemotherapy dropped my dad‘s white blood cell count very low and he had started to become infected with at least one bacterial infection. He was admitted to the ICU and I arrived early afternoon on Friday from Chicago to Rochester, New York. My mom and I spent three days in the ICU reading to him from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy as well as playing his favorite songs and holding up old photos and describing them to him.He was not able to respond to us in any way, but every time we started talking to him, tears would roll down his eyes. As the last ditch effort. As the last stitch effort, we tried dialysis to keep him alive long enough for a white blood cell patch that he had used after the chemo treatment to get his white blood cell count up, which can take a while to work. However, this was not effective, and my dad would not have wanted to be put on full life support. My mom and I wrestled with what to do best to support his wishes and in the end, decided that it wasn’t going to be possible to keep him alive and for him to become conscious again or have a good quality of life. He died on Sunday night.
This experience has really made me very angry with our healthcare system. He never should’ve gotten that last chemo treatment, and although the doctor warned against it, the oncologist also did not explain to my dad how the risk of death was quite significant. My dad really really wanted to live even with all of the side effects he was going through. This is him with one of his cats, Frankenstein, a few years ago listening to music (taken by my mother, Valerie) Hopefully, they are now reunited in heaven.
If anybody does want to read the obituary for my dad, it can be found here;

My attempt at the "Flickr Friday" theme "Comfort".
This shows one of the turning wheels on my trusty Novoflex bellows I use to create a vast majority of my images with. I really like the high-quality look and feel - it's a very effective and comfortable tool in many ways, so I think it has earned a little shoutout.

Long exposure photography can be challenging at times. The lighting, timing and just how long the exposure, can make a huge difference in the outcome.

Prayer is the most powerful against trials, the most effective medicine against sickness, and the most valuable gift to someone we care for.
With a lockdown in place it is against the rules for me to go to places I like to shoot, so I though I would try to create a series called Isolated creativity. The series is not intended to be a diary but a way of documenting thoughts and emotions via photography.
Without a vaccine or an effective treatment I cannot see how we will return to the way we were before.

Rotating out from Heathrow airport is the very striking scheme from the British Airways Boeing 747-400 in the BOAC retro livery.
British Overseas Airways Corporation was the British state-owned airline created in 1939 by the merger of Imperial Airways and British Airways Ltd. It continued operating overseas services throughout World War II. After the passing of the Civil Aviation Act 1946, European and South American services passed to two further state-owned airlines, British European Airways and British South American Airways. BOAC absorbed BSAA in 1949, but BEA continued to operate British domestic and European routes for the next quarter century. A 1971 Act of Parliament merged BOAC and BEA, effective 31 March 1974, forming today's British Airways.
Aircraft registration number G-BYGC was stripped of its British Airways Chatham Dockyard design at a paint bay in Dublin airport, before being repainted with this livery which featured on BOAC aircraft between 1964 and 1974.
I wanted to get up a quick documentary shot of the end of Oneonta Gorge. I managed to successfully navigate to the end of the gorge with Damiand yesterday. The going actually was not too rough, much easier in fact than the previous trip I had done a couple of years ago. This is in large part due to the fact that this whole gorge is almost completely frozen, and rather than have to wade through much deep water, we were able to glide across where the pools generally are. Mind you the ice was cracking and groaning under our feet, threatening to force us to wade, but we made safe passage both ways. This isn't to say you can do this without waders, at the least. We still got plenty wet, especially coming down off the log jam, we hit a few spots that were waist deep, but all in all we spent more time above the ice and under it.
If you are thinking of going, Damian recommends the neoprene waders that he bought at Sports Authority for $60. I had a borrowed dry suit, which was effective, if awkward. The waders look like the better choice. Oh and wear at least three pairs of socks, it took my toes the entire drive back to Portland to start speaking to me again.

Very special thanks to Susan Wahome for inspiring me to refresh the double-exposure stuff, that i did in the 1980s... now with double layers on the screen, and even more effective than on analogue equipment....

The snow we had in February was a dry snow. The next morning when I went out to see the neighborhood, the dry snow would slide off tree limbs and sparkle in the air when the sun hit it.
A drake (male) Wood Duck, renowned as one of North America's most colorful waterfowl. I joyfully agree! Effective March 2026, Wood ducks are the official waterfowl of Michigan.
Wood Ducks are shy, secretive birds that prefer privacy and are seen and travel only in small flocks. Even when sharing a pond with other birds like Mallards or Canada Geese, Wood Ducks tend to keep to themselves along the shaded, woody edges. I have been trying to spot one over the past few weeks in vain. I was elated, to say the least, when I spotted this adult male in full color at Ford Lake. It's not possible to see the colorful plumage of the males from a distance. Now that I know where they are, I will be going back a few more times over the coming weeks.
Unlike many other ducks, they perch and nest in trees near water, often using natural cavities or man-made nest boxes. The adults are primarily herbivores and eat acorns, seeds, berries, and aquatic plants like duckweed. Juveniles eat insects, dragonflies, and spiders. They were once close to extinction in the early 20th century due to habitat loss and overhunting, but have made a remarkable recovery.
Simple but effective (I hope).
Much kudos to JamFactory for the designing, Crazylabel for the making and Bubi Au Yeung for the wonderful character that is Treeson!

The Battle of Didgori was fought between the armies of the Kingdom of Georgia and the Great Seljuq Empire at the narrow place of Didgori, 40 km west of Tbilisi, on August 12, 1121. The large Muslim army, under the command of Ilghazi ibn Artuq was unable to maneuver, and suffered a devastating defeat due to King David IV of Georgia’s effective military tactics.
The battle at Didgori was the culmination of the entire Georgian-Seljuk wars, and led to the Georgians’ reconquest of Tbilisi in 1122. Soon after that David moved the capital from Kutaisi to Tbilisi. The victory at Didgori inaugurated the medieval Georgian Golden Age and is celebrated in the Georgian chronicles as a (Georgian: ძლევაჲ საკვირველი, dzlevay sakvirveli; lit. the "miraculous victory"). Modern Georgians continue to remember the event as an annual September festival known as Didgoroba ("[the day] of Didgori").
Jamestown (originally also called "James Towne" or "Jamestowne") is located on the James River in what is currently James City County in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The site is about 40 miles (62 km) inland from the Atlantic Ocean and the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay and about 45 miles (70 km) downstream and southeast of the current state capital city of Richmond. Both the river and the settlement were named for King James I of England, who was on the throne at the time, granted the private proprietorship to the Virginia Company of London's enterprise.
The location at Jamestown Island was selected primarily because it offered a favorable strategic defensive position against other European forces which might approach by water. However, the colonists soon discovered that the swampy and isolated site was plagued by mosquitoes and tidal river water unsuitable for drinking, and offered limited opportunities for hunting and little space for farming. The area was also inhabited by Native Americans (American Indians).

Despite inspired leadership of John Smith, chaplain Robert Hunt and others, starvation, hostile relations with the Indians, and lack of profitable exports all threatened the survival of the Colony in the early years as the settlers and the Virginia Company of London each struggled. However, colonist John Rolfe introduced a strain of tobacco which was successfully exported in 1612, and the financial outlook for the colony became more favorable. Two years later, Rolfe married the young Indian woman Pocahontas, daughter of Wahunsunacock, Chief of the Powhatan Confederacy, and a period of relative peace with the Natives followed. In 1616, the Rolfes made a public relations trip to England, where Pocahontas was received as visiting royalty. Changes by the Virginia Company which became effective in 1619 attracted additional investments, also sowing the first seeds of democracy in the process with a locally-elected body which became the House of Burgesses, the first such representative legislative body in the New World.
Throughout the 17th century, Jamestown was the capital of the Virginia Colony. Several times during emergencies, the seat of government for the colony was shifted temporarily to nearby Middle Plantation, a fortified location on the high ridge approximately equidistant from the James and York Rivers on the Virginia Peninsula. Shortly after the Colony was finally granted a long-desired charter and established the new College of William and Mary at Middle Plantation, the capital of the Colony was permanently relocated nearby. In 1699, the new capital town was renamed Williamsburg, in honor of the current British king, William III.
After the capital was relocated, Jamestown began a gradual loss of prominence and eventually reverted to a few large farms. It again became a significant point for control of the James River during the American Civil War (1861–1865), and then slid back into seeming oblivion. Even the Jamestown Exposition of 1907 was held elsewhere, at a more accessible location at Sewell's Point, on Hampton Roads near Norfolk.

Beginning in 1893, 22.5 acres of the Jamestown site were acquired by the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities. A crucial sea wall was built in 1900 to protect the shoreline near the site of James Fort from further erosion. In the 1930s, the Colonial National Historical Park was established to protect and administer Jamestown, which was designated a National Historic Site. The U.S. National Park Service acquired the remaining 1,500 acres (6.1 km²) of Jamestown Island through eminent domain in 1934.
For the 350th anniversary in 1957, Jamestown itself was the site of renewed interest and a huge celebration. The National Park Service provided new access with the completion of the Colonial Parkway which led to Williamsburg, home of the restored capital of Colonial Williamsburg, and then on to Yorktown, the other two portions of Colonial Virginia's Historic Triangle. Major projects such as the Jamestown Festival Park were developed by non-profit, state and federal agencies. Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain and Prince Philip attended. The 1957 event was a great success. Tourism became continuous with attractions regularly updated and enhanced.
The two major attractions at Jamestown are separate, but complementary to each other. The state-sponsored Jamestown Settlement near the entrance to Jamestown Island includes a recreated English Fort and Native American Village, extensive indoor and outdoor displays, and features the three popular replica ships. On Jamestown Island itself, the National Park Service operates Historic Jamestowne. Over a million artifacts have been recovered by the Jamestown Rediscovery project with ongoing archaeological work, including a number of exciting recent discoveries.
Early in the 21st century, in preparation for the Jamestown 2007 event commemorating America's 400th Anniversary, new accommodations, transportation facilities and attractions were planned. The celebration began in the Spring of 2006 with the sailing of a new replica Godspeed to six major East Coast U.S. cities, where several hundred thousand people viewed it. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip joined America's festivities on an official state visit to Jamestown in May 2007.
It’s starting to look a lot like Christmas and as usual in this period it's time for a Christmas themed creation.
This cozy shelter is the home of Santa Claus, who is preparing his world tour for delivering gifts. It's called Santa's Cottage and you can support it on LEGO IDEAS too.
If you like the bizarre Santa's Cottage please consider to give it a chance of becoming an actual LEGO IDEAS set. You can shortcut straight to LEGO IDEAS platform using this handy link:
Santa's Cottage on LEGO IDEAS!
Santa, who is coming home from a relaxing walk, has also a nice off-road vehicle painted with a color scheme matching with the cottage. You can spot it on the right.Santa's Cottage features a classic Xmas color scheme, an uncommon shape and an unconventional doors/windows style.
The main feature is probably the asymmetrical roof with a very sloping shape to the left. The woodshed is located under the excess roof.
The red/white/black color combo is simple but effective, and the snowy trees in the background match well.
Last but not least the door and windows are round, a shape rarely spotted on a cottage, but quite common in Hobbit houses.
If this house reminds you of anything you are right, it's basically my Blue Cottage set up for the Christmas holidays.
This is probably my last MOC for this year and I wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
