- La llum no era gaire bona degut als núvols, peró al creuar el pont vaig veure que el reflexe al riu i, aquesta vegada sí, vaig baixar del cotxe per poder fer la foto des del pont. La llàstima és que no ha quedat gaire il.luminada, peró m´agrada com es reflexen la casa i l´arbre :-)
- La luz no era muy buena debido a las nubes, pero al cruzar el puente vi el reflejo en el rio y, esta vez sí, bajé del coche para hacer la foto desde el puente. La lástima es que no ha quedado bien iluminada, pero me gusta como se reflejan la casa y el árbol :-)

I will be working as a photo guide around Big Sur in early December and we are currently looking for a guide to take over in Yosemite. If you are either interested in participating or think you'd be up for guiding around Yosemite please see below:
Reallyclassglass.com announces their first destination workshop out of the
Kansas City area.
December 1-13, 2011
Depart Kansas City Thursday, December 1, heading to the south rim of the
Grand Canyon via Colorado. Tentative schedule follows:
December 1-2, travel to the Grand Canyon via Colorado.
December 3-4, Grand Canyon, South Rim
December 5, Sedona, Arizona
December 6, travel to Yosemite

The fee includes the use of reallyclassglass.com professional Nikkor super
telephoto lenses and Really Right Stuff, tripods and ball heads. Lenses
include the 600 mm F4.0, 400mm F2.8, 300mm F2.8 and 200mm F2.0
We will concentrate on always photographing during the golden hours
surrounding sunrise and sunset. Other photography time will concentrate on
the hours around those key times. We will post process images or travel
during the other hours.
Workshop leaders will assist in all phases of photography to include lens
selection, pre visualizing the image, filters and aperture and shutter speed
selection. Leaders are familiar with Adobe Lightroom 3 and Adobe Photoshop
but do not consider themselves experts. Little time will be devoted to
classroom instruction in post processing.
Participants may choose to ride in a comfortable 15 passenger van from KC or
fly to a destination and we will arrange for a pickup in Arizona or
California.
Destination Workshop Investment: $1,989.00. The fee does not include food
or lodging. Lodging choices during the trip will be national motel chains
such as Super 8, Hampton Inn, Drury Inn, and Comfort Inns. Doubling up is
encouraged to save money.
Deposit: A non refundable deposit of $400.00 is required to hold your spot.
The fee, though not refundable, can be used toward a future destination
workshop should a family emergency cause you to cancel. The deposit is due
by October 15 and the balance will be deducted from your credit card on
November 30.
All participants are required to sign a release of liability statement.
Local guides: Reallyclassglass.com feels it is important to maximize time
photographing and not in searching for the best vantage points. Whenever
financially prudent we will hire local photo guides familiar with the
locations. Mark G, who works for Really Right Stuff, will guide us in
Monterey and Big Sur. We are currently searching for guides for Yosemite and
the Grand Canyon.
Maximum participants, 10, and the minimum for the trip is 3.

Destination workshop location highlights.
The Grand Canyon of the Colorado River is 200 miles long, a mile deep and
from 5-15 miles across. The north rim is closed during the winter season so
we will explore and photograph from the south side. We can descend into the
canyon on Bright Angel Trail for the full 17 mile round trip to the Colorado
River below or depending on time and agility of the participants...do only a
portion of the hike. But you really have not experienced the canyon until
you have walked in it.
Sedona....the red rock spires dominate the landscape and we will see why
this has become a favorite vacation and photographic destination. We'll
also schedule a trip to the ghost town of Jerome, population 403. Steep
streets switchback up the mountain to view the old copper mining town.
Monterey Bay and Big Sur......Carmel, Pebble Beach, Cannery Row, sea lions,
pelagic and shore birds, 17 mile drive scenery, Monterey Bay Aquarium...what
more needs to be said. The Weston Gallery in Carmel features the work of
Edward Weston and Ansel Adams, and prepares us for Yosemite. Mark G will
guide us to some of his favorite photographic sites along Big Sur which
stretches 90 miles south of Carmel from Point Lobos all the way to the
Hearst Castle with 5000 foot mountains rising out of the Pacific Ocean.
Winter in Yosemite...special, quiet....beautiful. Snow....amazingly
different images.
And did we say that all participants may use reallyclassglass.com
professional Nikkor lenses as part of the fee?
The 2015 Explore@NASAGoddard event, on Sept. 26, celebrated the 25th anniversary of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope. Investigating everything from black holes to planets around other stars, Hubble has ushered in a new chapter of humanity’s exploration of the universe, and the venerable telescope continues to answer some of the most compelling astronomical questions of our time.
Additionally, all areas of Goddard’s research – Earth science, heliophysics, planetary science, astrophysics, and engineering and technology – were presented, as each discipline plays a critical part in NASA's ongoing journey to reach new heights, reveal the unknown and advance scientific understanding for the benefit of humankind.

Since joining Flickr in February of 2008 I have had 100 photos make the Explore list (basically, that means the photos were one of the top (most popular) 500 photos uploaded to Flickr on that day). And two made the Explore front page (number 3 and number 8 from the list below). Thanks so much for viewing, commenting, and fav-ing my photos!

I came from a household that was polygamous, in relation to cameras at least, we had lots of different ones, maybe they were cheaper and more disposable than the SLR kit that seems to have become fairly common if not totally ubiquitous.
Likewise I had a string of small cameras, until 20 odd years ago I purchased an EOS from Dixons, and then accumulated a few lenses etc that went with; I guess you start to build both financial and emotional investment in ‘your’ brand.
I guess it’s that investment that you are defending if you buy into the factionalism that appears to go with.
Sticking with a brand means you can make more of your previous investment, great, I’m now on my third canon SLR and I still use lenses that I purchased 20 years back.
So let’s say the big manufacturers are Nikon and Canon, do you mix, and how did you arrive at your choice?
Macro Monday theme: Unusual combinations.
Yesterday, I went out to a park I've never been to before and it was absolutely gorgeous! I really only stayed in this little section at the beginning of the trail because there was a creek and bridge I couldn't resist, but I'll definitely be going back soon to explore even further.
p.s. I tried changing the color of this dress, but a few specific parts refused to change color, so I settled on keeping it how it is. Does anyone have any tips for how to deal with stubborn areas when color changing? Send me a message if you do!
Day 33 ~ Project 365 I have paper 4 of 5 due tomorrow, so I am hoping that a glass of red wine will jump start the creative process required for long night of writing ahead.

New Town Eco Park (officially Prakriti Tirtha) is an urban park in Rajarhat, Kolkata. The park is situated on a 480 acres (190 ha) plot and will surround a 104 acres (42 ha) waterbody with an island in the middle. The park was conceptualised by Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee in July 2011. West Bengal Housing Infrastructure Development Corporation (HIDCO) is the overarching body coordinating the construction of the park, along with different other government bodies responsible for implementation of different works inside the park. The park has been divided into three broad parts; 1) ecological zones like wetlands, grasslands, and urban forest, 2)theme gardens and open spaces, 3)and urban recreational spaces. The Eco Park will be further divided into different sub-parts according to the different types of fauna planted. According to the plan, the park will have different areas like wild flower meadows, a bamboo garden, grasslands, tropical tree garden, bonsai garden, tea garden, Cactus Walk, a heliconia garden, a butterfly garden, a play area and an amphitheatre. Further, there is plan to develop an eco-resort in public-private partnership, and will also include an area where handicrafts from different part of the state will be exhibited. The park was inaugurated on 29 December 2012 by Mamata Banerjee.

You may have noticed that my photostream has gone nearly colorless... I am trying an experiment. I have a few contacts who are doing a whole month of black and white (Steven Brisson and CP MCGann are 2 you may know!) But I'm not sure I can last the whole month!! It has been interesting, and forced me to look at my photographs and explore how and why I do things like I do. In essence, it has open up some doors to a new way of taking and processing photos. But 30 days is a hell of a long time.... stay tuned!! : )
