Thank you for looking at my photo and for all of the lovely comments and faves. I really appreciate it :)
this is from the same time that Shanice and I went to the baseball field to shoot. I wanted something a little more mysterious for this one. I think I hit it right on the nail. her face is covered with her hair which is what I was trying to accomplish.
This past weekend I went on a trip to a lake house. I plan on putting up a set of the pictures taken on my site so stay tuned!
APPEARED ON flickr's "EXPLORE" 16 October 2013.
Windy conditions so I chose a high ISO to give a fast shutter speed. The result ws inevitably grainy but not distractingly so.
Camera: NIKON D300
Aperture: f/4.5
ISO: 2200
Exposure: 1/1500
Created from a full colour image in connection with a photo club 'mono' theme.

My friend Michael Naimark is exploring new ideas for virtual reality experiences, in collaboration with Google and other researchers. To discuss this work, we got together with two other colleagues, Steve Gano and Jim McKee -- with whom we worked at the Apple Multimedia Lab in the eighties, pushing the envelope on related questions.
We started with a tour of the historic Sentinel Building in North Beach, home of American Zoetrope -- where Francis Coppola worked on many cinematic masterpieces like The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. We checked out the underground screening room and sound mixing room where some of that work took place, then headed upstairs to Michael and Jim’s studios, for a wonderful conversation about the new VR frontier.
Michael and his colleagues are researching how people are represented in virtual reality. Their first experiment at Google’s “Big Chairs” Park led to some helpful guidelines on how to film people for VR, by using different camera angles and distances.
They’re also investigating ‘hyper-images’ that resemble a group of people, but that are shot at different times and composited together to create both ‘credible’ and ‘incredible’ pictures. To enable more experiments like these, Michael is developing ‘IMU VR’, a new type of camera that could make it easier for communities to tell their stories in VR. More on this later.
It was great to reconnect with my colleagues and brainstorm these ideas together. It felt like the good old days, and the creative juices were flowing all over again ...

This is a double duty picture. I will enter it into Feathery Friday's bragging thread contest and I have been tagged a couple times recently. So here are 10 facts:
1- I am 50 and have no problem telling people my age!
2- I am married to a great guy for 27 yrs now; we have 2 adult sons, 21 and 20.
3- My little boy is Casper, a Bichon. He has been at my sister’s house 2 hours away for almost a week. I cant wait to see him tomorrow. I am having Casper withdrawals!
4-I am a registered nurse.
5-I lived in New Orleans for 12 yrs as a kid. We had 2 1/2 feet of water in our house from Hurricane Betsy-you don’t forget something like that!
6-I have been in 13 different countries in my life so far; since 13 is an unlucky number I need to go somewhere new! :-)
7-I have never seen the Grand Canyon..... there is so much here yet to see.
8-Unlike Sue (SavingMemories, one of the people who tagged me) I LOVE
chick-flicks!! I do not like real scary movies-they scare me too much!
9- I can’t spell,and have terrible grammar. I don’t like that about myself....as I said in #1, I am 50. At least there is google dictionary I can go to for help.
10-I love to laugh.

One of last nights star trail shots over at Hadleigh Castle in Essex. I had several missed opportunities in the past week where I couldn't get out to take advantage of clear skys so last night I dropped my friend Russ a quick text to see if he fancied sitting in a damp field for a couple of hours and surprisingly he said "yes.....sounds like fun". We arrived at 10.30pm, greeted by cloudy skys :( Luckily these cleared away quite quickly. We were joined briefly by some yoofs who painted a bit of their own light into the image. I don't think they realised we were there as shortly after I'd fired up the floodlight they disappeared.
The light was provided by a remote area lighting product, borrowed from the office, which was a past design job for one of our clients.....and it was bloody awesome. It's LED based so it provided some nice blue light - it was switched on for a few seconds in one of the exposures to paint some light onto the brickwork.
With my previous attempts in the garden I hadn't encountered the problems of condensation on the lens. About halfway through the 50mins shot time the lens started to fog up, obscuring the castle. Luckily the trails still shone through (but gradually fade out). I think this actually adds quite a nice (accidental) effect.
I somehow managed to capture Russ motionless in one of the 30 sec exposures so I kept him in the composition......I think he adds something good to the image, silhouetted on the horizon. I had wanted to include the north star in the shot but I couldn't get round to the right spot - the hill that the castle stands on dropped away rapidly fairly close to where I was standing.
After a few hours in the cold & damp I had quite a few shots to work with so at 1.10am, several coffees down and a flat camera battery we headed for home.
Image comprised of 99 (max shots available on continuous shooting with Nikon cameras) 30 second exposures overlaid to show the spin of the earth reflected in the star trail movement. Bit of work in photoshop to adjust contrasts to enhance the trails and to overlay layers.
Sergio haciendo el pino. No tiene mayor explicación.
El cielo era demasiado aburrido, así que le planté unas nubes con pinceles.
Saludos!
As we strolled here we had no idea that behind the facades lay the Storkyrkobadet-a historic basement bath-house with pool and sauna-we should have brought our bathing costumes !

The Red Hills Lake,also called Puzhal Lake (Tamil: புழல் ஏரி) is located in Ponneri Taluk of Thiruvallur district, Tamilnadu, South India . It is one of the two rain-fed reservoirs from where water is drawn for supply to Chennai City, the other one being the Chembarambakkam Lake.
Redhills lake:The other name of this lake in Tamil is POZHAL YERI; Previously this was used as a Irrigation lake. During the British Rule, it was utilised as a Military Camp. That is why Pozhal Town is also expressed as Camp.This lake was used as an Airport for Water plans for to make a landing and takeoff. There was a concrete ramp to bring the floating crafts and vessals to the then Workshop and the remains can be seen.There was a big Bangalow for the Military personals with Wind mill pump house, sump,overhead tank,a small swimming pool, Tennis court and a mini Theatre for the military use.In order to feed the water plans, there were few huge M.S.tanks for oil storage on the earthern bunds of this lake.For this heavy movement of vehicles, the earthern bunds are enforced with concrete paths. The lake and its water was made to quench the thirst of Chennaities right from the year1868. This lake gets it s supply from Poondi Reservoir and the Cholavaram Lake, through its Upper and Lower Supply Channals.Thus the irrigation utility was stopped. Now a days Poondi Reservoir and Sembaramapkkam Lakes interlinked to get water from Kandaleru (Telugu Ganga Project)and at present ,the Redhills Lake is made to fill on both sides apart from the rain water from the Catchment areas.Its water spreading area is around 7.5K.Ms and with much storage capacity, when compared Poondi and Cholavaram Lakes.

The full capacity of the lake is 3,300 million ft³ (93 million m³).
