The lotus effect refers to self-cleaning properties that are a result of ultrahydrophobicity as exhibited by the leaves of Nelumbo or "lotus flower". Source: Wikipedia
In spite of being in the water, it is never wet. It does not bother about its surrounding but it blooms and vanishes. It teaches us to perform actions without getting attached to the outcome of the action performed and also not to bother about the external factors that might influence the action.
From Wikipedia: the butterfly effect is a phrase that encapsulates the more technical notion of sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory. Small variations of the initial condition of a dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system. This is sometimes presented as esoteric behavior, but can be exhibited by very simple systems: for example, a ball placed at the crest of a hill might roll into any of several valleys depending on slight differences in initial position. Quantum chaos is the study of the butterfly effect in semiclassical physics and quantum mechanics.
I tend to look at the sky, and when I was in southern South Africa I did so more as the weather changed very quickly within a single day. Every time I saw a low cloud layer on the horizon, I wished and hoped for what I call the layering effect. A ceiling of low clouds appears but they do not cover the horizon, so that during the sunset, the sun, covered by those clouds, at a given moment will appear below that layer and above the sea, and that light will be "trapped" in that narrow strip producing a series of really beautiful and special reflections.

13/52 - self portrait challenge
It has been a very busy week and i have had very little time to plan a self portrait - so this will have to do. After the heavy rains from night before last the weather has turned and the temperatures have dropped. We are heading for an early winter it seems.
It looks like i may be able to purchase myself a speedlite - any opinions from other users out there, would be great to know if it worthwhile investing into one for off camera / fill flash.

The butterfly effect is a metaphor that encapsulates the concept of a sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory; namely that small differences in the initial condition of a dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system.
While I don't subscibe to this theory from an overall philosophical life perspective or the thought that everything that happens to us in life is the random result of something that happened in the past, it is interesting to think about the possibilities of the theory from a landscape photographer's perspective - waiting for the perfect weather/light/water movement/tide height/cloud formation in order to perfectly photograph a particular scene.

The snow clouds are beginning to break up in this shot of the high field on saturday. The perfect rows are the stubs of the cotton plants from the summer and fall. There was about 8 inches of snow here.

The cause? Humans....The effect? Drought and heat.
I know this is dark and not pretty but find it necessary to document what is happening in Central Texas...not just here but other places in the world too. Our desperate earth cannot heal unless we step up and do our part. This weighs heavy on my mind during most of my waking hours.
A few of my contacts expressed an interest in knowing what the difference between the original image and the post processed image with the Orton Effect were.
I'd love to see what my contacts can come up with for this!! If you try it out, send me some Flickr Mail and let me know!
My 31st Photo in Explore!! July 16th, 2008 Highest #55!!
Last one (for now)! Think this is my favourite. Looks great on my desktop...
The colours come from a gold iridescent board behind the shot. I pretty much followed this video to the letter. So easy to follow.
This particular one was fairly heavily tweaked - contrast and levels mainly, with a touch of saturation - but that's ok cos it's Sunday! Happy Sliding!
Noun: the continuing and spreading results of an event or action. You guessed it, the Derwent ferry from Surprise View at 300mm. Any easy one to shoot and process

Some technical stuff: The rigid moon effect visible on the photo is not a technical issue. I noticed that under very low temperatures the surrounding air behaves as if it was very hot, hence this impression of the "lack of sharpness" on the edges of the moon.
They are real boats,but photoshoped for a tilt-shift effect.
Son barcos de verdad,pero con un efecto tilt-shift hecho en photoshop.
