Some fella wanted to reach the top in the car ... but he couldn't get there obviously .. ;)
Tonight's fixation: Harvest Moon.
For those who would like to attempt this shot:
Use your manual setting
Try a lower ISO like 400 or lower for a subject this bright
Start with a high Aperture and work your way down - I used f20
And not too slow of a shutter speed for some detail.
A focal length of at least 300mm,
And a tripod to keep it steady.
اول تجربه لي في هالمجال وكل الشكر يعود للنادي العلمي اليي ساهموا بشكل كبير على انجاح هاذي الورشه الحلوه يعطيهم ألف عافيه وعساهم على القوه

So, my good friend Brian Cavanaugh and i are going to shoot a wedding together on the 30th of this month, and he has been pretty rusty. He gave me a call and was like "Broseidon king of the Brocean, i havent shot in a while. Wanna go shooting today?", and me being the eager man i am said, "Ah hells to the yeah bro, lets go shoot some stuff". Usually this entails brian and i finding a location and taking pictures of each other. Im not complaining, but i wanted a change. So i called up a friend of mine named Sarah, shes a cool cat and a trooper might i add! She was posing for us left and right in 105 degree weather! YEAH SON. At first she was a little uneasy, but she got the whole picture posing thing down. So kudos to her :). Thats all i have to really say about this set. Oh, one more thing. Im proud of the little 5D. I was shooting at ISO 800-1000 for these shots because the area was really shaded and dark. But it still produced very vibrant, sharp, beautiful images. So thank Mr. 5D. I commend you.

Hagia Sophia
Hagia Sophia (Turkish: Ayasofya, Greek: Αγία Σοφία; "Holy Wisdom", Latin: Sancta Sophia or Sancta Sapientia) is a former patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey. Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture. It was the largest cathedral ever built in the world for nearly a thousand years, until the completion of the Seville Cathedral in 1520. The current building was originally constructed as a church between A.D. 532 and 537 on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian, and was in fact the third Church of the Holy Wisdom to occupy the site (the previous two had both been destroyed by riots). It was designed by two architects, Isidore of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles. The Church contained a large collection of holy relics and featured, among other things, a 50 foot (15 m) silver iconostasis. It was the patriarchal church of the Patriarch of Constantinople and the religious focal point of the Eastern Orthodox Church for nearly 1000 years.
In 1453, Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks and Sultan Mehmed II ordered the building to be converted into the Ayasofya Mosque. The bells, altar, iconostasis, and sacrificial vessels were removed, and many of the mosaics were eventually plastered over. The Islamic features — such as the mihrab, the minbar, and the four minarets outside — were added over the course of its history under the Ottomans. It remained as a mosque until 1935, when it was converted into a museum by the Republic of Turkey.
For almost 500 years the principal mosque of Istanbul, Hagia Sophia served as a model for many of the Ottoman mosques such as the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque of Istanbul), the Şehzade Mosque, the Süleymaniye Mosque, and the Rüstem Pasha Mosque.
Although it is sometimes referred to as Saint Sophia (Greek for wisdom), the Greek name in full is Ναός τῆς Ἁγίας τοῦ Θεοῦ Σοφίας, Church of the Holy Wisdom of God, and it was dedicated to the Holy Wisdom of God rather than a specific saint named Sophia.

The 2017 Geneva Motor Show has been overrun by red cars. And I love it! Far be it from me to lay claim to an entire trend, but I did spend my last day at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show admiring two especially pretty red editions of popular cars: the Lamborghini Huracan and BMW's i8. I found both looked even more delightful with their rouge retouching, and it seems that the car world has agreed with my assessment wholeheartedly. What was but a little blip on the color fashion map last year has exploded into an absolute deluge in 2017, with practically every car manufacturer introducing a new car in red. What could have prompted this collective enthusiasm for red? Is it a subtle nod to International Women’s Day, which this year urged people to wear red as an expression of solidarity? Is it the traditional Baba Marta custom, which Bulgarians observe in the month of March by exchanging red-and-white figures made of yarn? Both are fun, specious ideas, though an actually plausible explanation might be that car companies are just being wily and trying to appeal to the biggest growth market in the world today, China, where red symbolizes good fortune. Red has seen an increase in global popularity in recent years, though it’s still far behind the conservative choices of black, white, and every shade of gray in between. Even so, there’s nothing stopping car companies from presenting their new vehicles in the brightest and most ostentatious colors to attract attention, before selling the staid silver option to the end user. Painting your Geneva debutant red seems like just good business sense for carmakers eager to expand their horizons — and it does no harm to their chances with people like me, who just really like the color.

Mission Accomplished (I think...): taking an acceptable photo of a grasshopper. Everybody knows they're hardly visible and if you do see them, they hop to another blade of grass. That's probably why we call them "grasshoppers". :-))
This is the small meadow grasshopper: 1.5 – 2 cm. View large for more details, please.
