La maison Bordevieille est une exploitation familiale artisanale située dans les collines près des bastides du Val d’Adour dans le sud ouest de la France.
Maison Bordevieille is a traditional family business located in the hills near the bastides of Val d'Adour in the south west of France.
This is a large shell that I borrowed from my sister to exploit. It's about 6 inches in length and 5-1/2 inches in width at the top. I know almost nothing about shell identification but, that being said, I think it might be a Cassis madagascariensis (emperor shell).
Lighting stuff: I placed the shell on a mirror to reveal the extra dimensions that the reflection reveals. I wanted to emphasize the folds and shapes so I used the side lighting that creates shadows and reveals shapes and textures. This was a one light shot with a YN560-III in a 24 inch softbox at camera left. Fill light came from a a small hand mirror at the right side that bounced light onto that side of the shell. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I have photographed quite a few shells over the years, and if you like this sort of thing, they're in my creatively named Shells album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157626043932290

Key information
Noisy and gregarious, these cheerful exploiters of man's rubbish and wastefulness have managed to colonise most of the world. The ultimate avian opportunist perhaps. Monitoring suggests a severe decline in the UK house sparrow population, recently estimated as dropping by 71 per cent between 1977 and 2008 with substantial declines in both rural and urban populations. While the decline in England continues, Breeding Bird Survey data indicate recent population increases in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
What they eat:
Seeds and scraps.
Measurements:
Length:14-15cm
Wingspan:21-25.5cm
Weight:24-38g
Population:
UK breeding:5,300,000 pairs
Where and when to see them
House sparrows can be found from the centre of cities to the farmland of the countryside, they feed and breed near to people. It is a species vanishing from the centre of many cities, but is not uncommon in most towns and villages. It is absent from parts of the Scottish Highlands and is thinly distributed in most upland areas.
Breeding
House sparrows usually nest in loose colonies and since they don't defend a proper territory, nests can be as little as 20-30 cm apart.
How house sparrows nest
Nests are often placed in holes and crevices within buildings and they will readily use nestboxes. Free-standing nests are also frequently built, in creepers against walls and in thick hedges or conifers.
Pairs often remain faithful to their nest site and to each other for life, although a lost mate of either sex is normally replaced within days. A hole is filled with dry grass or straw with a nesting chamber lined with feathers, hairs, string and paper. Feathers may be plucked from a live pigeon!
The main nesting season is from April to August, although nesting has been recorded in all months. Most birds lay two or three clutches, but in a good year fourth attempts are not uncommon.
About house sparrow chicks
The female lays two to five eggs at daily intervals and often starts to incubate part way through egg-laying. Both sexes incubate, and the chicks hatch after 11-14 days. The parents share nesting duties equally. Chicks are brooded for 6-8 days, but can control their own body temperature only when 10 or 11 days old.
The youngsters are fed on a variety of invertebrates, including aphids, caterpillars, beetles and grasshoppers. Seeds and vegetable matter are also given, particularly during periods when invertebrates are scarce (e.g. cold weather) and become more important after the chicks leave the nest.
The young fledge 14-16 days after hatching. They are unable to feed themselves for about a week after leaving the nest and are cared for by their parents for around a fortnight. Post-fledging care is frequently left to the male as the hen prepares for the next brood. She can begin laying her next clutch of eggs within days of the previous brood leaving the nest.
Newly independent young often gather in large flocks, anywhere there is an abundance of seed, invertebrates and other suitable foods. These may be areas of wasteland or around garden feeding sites. Later, rural flocks may move on to grainfields to feed on the ripening grain, often joined by adult birds, once they have finished nesting. Flocks tend to break up through the autumn and birds return to their nesting colony sites.
Population trends
The house sparrow is common through most of its world range, and can tolerate a wide variety of climates.
The recent decline of house sparrows
UK house sparrow populations have fluctuated greatly over the centuries, with a gradual decline during the last 100 years.
Causes for the rapid recent declines, particularly in urban and suburban environments, remain largely undetermined, although research is underway that aims to establish the cause(s), and develop conservation solutions.
Declines in rural house sparrow populations are thought to be linked to changes in agricultural practices, particularly the loss of winter stubbles and improved hygiene measures around grain stores.
House sparrow numbers were not monitored adequately before the mid-1970s. Since then, numbers in rural England have nearly halved while numbers in towns and cities have declined by 60 per cent. Because of these large population declines, the house sparrow is now red-listed as a species of high conservation concern.
Relations with humans and other animals
People have a love-hate relationship with the house sparrow. However, control attempts have failed to limit the sparrows numbers and range.
Their relationship with humans
People have a love-hate relationship with the house sparrow. For many they are the most familiar of wild animals, bringing life to city centres and other man-made places, bereft of wildlife.
The house sparrows partiality to grain crops and the damage and destruction this caused resulted in attempts to control their numbers. From the mid-18th century most parishes had sparrow clubs with the sole objective to destroy as many sparrows as possible. Bounties were paid for sparrows until the late 19th century, when it was accepted that the control measures did not work. Similar failures were recorded in a number of other European countries.
Ironically, as people in Europe were paid to kill sparrows as pests, others deliberately introduced them to places as far apart as Australia and New York. Initially they were welcomed, although later appreciation turned to serious concern for the impact on crops. By then sparrows had become well established and control attempts have failed to limit the sparrows numbers and range.
How sparrows behave with other animals
Sparrows are aggressive tend to dominate feeders in gardens and prevent other birds from getting to the food. They harass other birds and steal their food and take over their nests, particularly house martins. The eviction and interference often results in a reduction in breeding success and can cause desertion of even large martin colonies.
Sparrows frequently tear to pieces the nests of martins and swallows and eject any eggs or chicks therein. The owners are unable to stop them.
Sparrows are very resilient and for their size have remarkably few serious predators. Main predators are domestic cats, owls (especially tawny) and sparrowhawks, but none are capable of affecting the size of the sparrow population, with the possible exception of localised effects by cats.

The House Sparrow is a small but sturdily built bird with a stout bill designed for eating seeds. Adult males are distinctive; the crown and nape are grey and only the sides of the head are brown. The black bib is wide and extends down onto the chest. The back is warm brown, streaked with black but with a few white wing feathers. Adult females and juvenile birds of both sexes are typically sandy brown in colour with brown and grey streaks on the back and wings.
Although adults will feed themselves on wide range of seeds, they need to find plenty of aphids and small caterpillars for their growing youngsters, especially in the first few days after hatching.
House Sparrows like to nest colonially, so one box on its own is unlikely to attract a breeding pair. They may nest in hedges and in climbing plants – but this does not mean that they are Hedge Sparrows or Tree Sparrows!
House Sparrows are red-listed birds of conservation concern.
Small nest box with hole (32mm)
Nest height: over 2m above ground
The nest is an untidy domed structure made of grasses, lined with feathers, hair and wool
Egg laying starts between mid March and early August. Up to four broods
4 to 5 eggs. White or pale blue with darker spots
Incubation time: 13 -15 days
Nestlings fledge after 15-17 days

I'm still exploiting the little plant I bought about 6 weeks ago. I believe that these are my favorite flower to light and photograph because of the elegant shapes. Some of the black and white photos I've seen that were done a long time ago by famous photographers are amazing works of art.
Lighting stuff: I placed a YN560 in a Rogue grid behind the flower and slightly to the right at 1 o'clock for backlighting, and used a YN560-III in an 8.6 inch Lastolite softbox in front and slightly to the left of center for fill. Both flashes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

The French colonial administration of Indochina was determined to exploit the Mekong River to aid a route into China, and in doing so help counter British colonial expansion in Upper Burma. ... However, the key obstacle lay in southern Laos, where at Siphandon Islands, the river splits into numerous channels forming formidable rapids collectively known as the Khon (or Khone) Falls. Attempts in 1891, 1892, and 1893 to scale the falls failed; there are accounts of steamships ‘engines roaring and boilers near bursting, with hundreds of men hauling from the rocks on ropes and others pushing from the decks with pikes’ ...
Thus, alternatives modes of transport had to be found. One idea came in the form of a British tidal expert resident in Siam, Herbert Warington Smyth, who suggested, perhaps half-cynically, that a tramway ... should be built around the falls. The latter, he reckoned, ‘would satisfactorily cripple the French economy (Source: Wikipedia).
Well, the French did just that, building boat landings south and north of the falls and connectiong both by a railraod.
I found no source of the factual impact of this adventure on the French economy yet a nice description of how it was to travel with that steam engine in the middle of deep jungles:
The train, struggling and grating amid the clashing sound of steel, hauled us across the island, which is covered by teak trees and bamboos whose branches brushed our faces. The temperature was very high and the sun, filtering through the trees, roused noxious fever-vapours from the tangled undergrowth. Sweat caked my hair under my sun hat; the heat burned my arms through my clothes; and the mosquitoes took advantage of my predicament to attack me as they pleased, all over my hands and face…

Rennes-les-Bains est une station thermale consacrée au traitement des rhumatismes. L'exploitation des eaux thermales est connue depuis l'antiquité. On peut toujours y admirer les vestiges des thermes romains.
La commune est traversée par la Sals, une rivière dont la source est salée (60g/l deux fois plus que l'eau de mer) mais arrivée à Rennes les bains, elle n'en contient plus que 2 g/l du fait des apports d'eau douce de ses différents affluents.
C'est un village-rue de 200 habitants dont la traversée est difficile du fait de la fréquentation touristique. J'ai profité de la plus faible affluence de la fin d'année pour m'arrêter et prendre quelques clichés de cette station thermale au charme désuet.
Rennes-les-Bains is a spa dedicated to the treatment of rheumatism. The exploitation of thermal waters has been known since antiquity. You can still admire the remains of the Roman baths.
The town is crossed by Sals, a river whose source is salty (60g / l twice as much as sea water) but arrived in Rennes les Bains, it contains only 2 g / l because of the freshwater inflows from its tributary rivers.
It is a street village of 200 inhabitants whose crossing is difficult due to tourist frequentation. I took advantage of the least crowds at the end of the year to stop and take a few pictures of this quaint spa resort.

I was exploiting sunflowers last week, and I thought the textures and shapes in this sunflower petal would make a good subject.
Lighting: I placed the petal on a mirror and lit it with a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch soft box at camera right. Fill light came from a mirror at camera left. The flash was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Obviously many 'western' images of African people are directly connected to exploitation and slavery. But it is often forgotten that there's also an idealist ideology that sees non-Europeans as good and free and noble, indeed as exemplary. This photo is part of the latter tradition. The insets provide some background.
In 1610 one Barthelomeus Moor (1573-1636) bought a piece of land on what is now the Rokin in Amsterdam and built a house there; the pictured decorative statement was probably added later in the style of Louis XIV. He'd been born in Antwerp and was one of many merchants, often Calvinist, who fled the southern Low Countries in the wake of their fall to the Catholic Habsburgs and the onset of religious persecution. They found religious freedom and independence from monarchy in the Dutch Republic. Around 1600 Antwerp's population had diminshed from about 100,000 to a mere 42,000, and something like 30% of the population of Amsterdam was made up of Flemish Dutchmen. Many of these immigrants were merchant families soon to become wealthy in the prospering northern Low Countries.
No doubt, the choice of Moor or his family for this sculpture was motivated by the meaning of his family name. But added to that are the connotations of freedom, independence and desire for trade imputed to non-Europeans exemplified by that self-conscious, proud 'Moor'. He could well be a Carib or else maybe a Guinean. The inset top right is after a drawing by John Gabriël Stedman (1744-1797) of a Carib family. The one on the left is in the first book on African Guinea (more or less present-day Ghana) by Pieter de Maarees around 1602. It depicts Dutch (?) and African merchants and traders. Note the similarity in head dresses of the 'Guineans', the Carib and our 'Moor'.

The Carreau Wendel Museum is the museum of the Wendel-Vuillemin coal pit, in Petite-Rosselle on the Saarland, Lorraine border. Though often in Germany, since 1945 it has been in Moselle department France.
The museum is an Anchor point on the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
The Wendel 1 pit was closed in 1989, Wendel 2 in 1992 and Wendel 3 in 2001. The first piece of coal was mined in Petite-Rosselle in June 1856, at the Saint-Charles pit. These pits are in France but surrounded on three sides by the national border with Germany. Several pits were dug between 1862 and 1889: Wendel 1, Wendel 2, Vuillemin 1 and Vuillemin 2. Emile Vuillemin was the consulting engineer for Charles de Wendel and Georges Hainguerlot's company- Compagnie Anonyme des Mines de Stiring. The coal produced was primarily used to fire the Wendel steelworks. The company became - Les Petits-fils de François de Wendel et Cie in 1889.
After the Second World War, the government required the industry to triple the Lorraine coal production within ten years. In the 1946 nationalising, the Wendel assets were assigned to public company Houillères du bassin de Lorraine. The Wendel 3 pit was dug in 1952, and in 1958 was equipped with the new wash house 3. The Wendel 1 and 2 pits were modernised and equipped with new headframes. After 1960, the coal recession hit: the company modernised wash house 1-2 in 1962 by creating a new module on top of the former wash house, adapted to the existing equipment. Operations and investment continued up until 1986 when central activities ceased. Some infrastructure continued to be used up until 1989 serving other pits in the Wendel franchise.
The museum is presented in several section. The simple tour shows the life of the miner and the hazardous working conditions. There is then an opportunity to take a guide tour down the workings seeing the machinery current when the last deep mine in France closed in 2004. There is an AM 100 heading machine, G210 electro-hydraulic loader, Electra 2000 shearer and ANF winning machine, roof supports etc.

Still exploiting gourds. I placed these on a mirror so that I coulde see more of the gourds. Photographing objects on a mirror is when you really need and want a black background, because no matter how well you clean your mirror, you still get all kinds of little white specks on it. With a black background, you must use the black paintbrush in post, and paint stuff out.
Lighting stuff: Lit with YN560-III in a 24 inch softbox at camera left, as the main light, and a YN560 in another 24 inch softbox at camera right. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

Excerpt from www.gfwadvertiser.ca:
One of the oldest faith communities in the Exploits Valley region is celebrating a special anniversary - St. Andrew's Anglican Church on Main Street in Bishop's Falls.
The congregation itself has a longer history, dating to the now-demolished Albert Hall where they used to meet, but the church building is almost as old. It is 90 years old, opening for worship on Dec. 11, 1921.
When the original church was founded in Bishop's Falls, the Anglican congregation had a population of approximately 70. It was a case of worshippers meeting in a public space first, then the motivation of fundraising and finding a spot to erect the structure.
According to an old Anglican church publication, services were held once a month in Albert Hall, loaned by the G. Albert Reid Company. However, the article stated, "the people wanted a church and both men and women had a meeting to talk ‘church.' The result of the meeting was that the women formed a sewing circle with 20 members, and Mrs. Dorman Mills appointed as president.
"The ladies sewed, the men went around and collected, and quite a nice sum was realized," said the article.
The meetings were held in January 1921, and the church was started in August. On Dec. 11, 1921, the church was opened "for divine worship," with the exterior finished and interior with the exceptions of furniture and the finishing touches also finished.

My wife brought home a couple of poinsettia plants today as holiday decorations, and I immediately set out to exploit them.
Lighting: I set this on a mirror and then lit it from the side using a Yongnuo manual flash, hand held just out of the frame at camera left. I used side lighting because that creates the shadows that reveal shapes and textures. The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N
