This photo was taken by Just In Time. Please make sure to stop by her stream and check out the amazing photos.
For those of you who are interested,this is a compilation image of "Just In Time's" photo and OPT Processing As you can see the result is absolutely breathtaking. Rest assured that this is NOT an hdr image. Our magical technique creates results much like that of an HDR however, can be done with a single exposure, and eliminates the "halo" effect you most often find in hdr imagery. This technique is becoming well know as OPT. OPT is a combination of many programs EXCLUDING Photoshop. We hope to someday make OPT available to everyone through a software program, with a different name than OPT (over processed technique)
As you can see from this image, the sharpness, the color, the depth is increased exponentially.
Shoreline Lake is a man-made salt water lake filled by water pumped in from the San Francisco Bay. Due to constant winds, the Bay Area is very popular for windsurfing.
Polynesian Islanders used boards with sails for hundreds of years. 1n 1948, a prototype board was invented using a small catamaran, but it wasn’t until the 1960s that the modern windsurfing board was developed. In 1984 the sport of windsurfing was added to the Olympics and it grew exponentially in popularity after that.
I have already taken the lead on containment
Très bon confinement, à tous ! prenez bien soin de vous partout sur la Terre, La deuxième vague en Europe est exponentielle ! Bon courage à tous ceux qui vont travailler lundi ! Je n'avais pas donné mon avis à ce jour, sur les terribles actes, paroles et autres faits ... N'oublions jamais ! que sans amour l'Humanité ne survivra pas !!!!!! Nous devons nous respecter les uns les autres ! en tenant compte des codes de chacun !!!

Very good containment, everyone! take good care of yourself everywhere on Earth, The second wave in Europe is exponential! Good luck to everyone who goes to work on Monday! I had not given my opinion to date, on the terrible deeds, words and other facts ... Let us never forget! that without love Humanity will not survive !!!!!! We must respect each other! taking into account the codes of each one !!!
We decided to return to Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge. With all the rain California has experienced of late, sunny days have been few and far between. It was nice to see water everywhere, and we mean everywhere. Gadwall populations have grown exponentially over the past several decades, surpassing pintails, green-winged teal, and wigeon to become the fourth most numerous ducks, exceeded only by mallards, lesser scaup, and blue-winged teal.

"Above the staircase leading up to the exhibition, an expansive installation reminiscent of a tornado whirls upwards. This display represents the massive acceleration and exponential development with which global processes such as species extinctions, CO² emission increases, and population growth have taken place over the last two hundred years. It features the major problems we will have to confront in the short and medium-term."
A lot of us are very familiar with the skylines of New York City, in which we tend to think of the massive urban conglomerates of Lower Manhattan (Downtown) and Midtown Manhattan.
However...
Believe it or not, though Manhattan is the most renowned borough of America's largest city, it's Brooklyn that has the largest population out of the five boroughs. That means the majority of New Yorkers live in BROOKLYN! As a result, I would like to share this significant slice of the Big Apple with you. (See what I did there?)
Due to several revisions in Brooklyn's zoning regulations for construction in the past two decades, skyscrapers have risen exponentially in downtown Brooklyn, giving the neighborhood its own unique skyline across the East River from Lower Manhattan (the same applies to Long Island City in Queens)...and ever since, Brooklyn continues to rise -- literally!
Alas, let's not "Fuggedaboutit" and give some respect to BKNY!

I took this on Sognefjord near Flam in Norway. The beauty is the fjord and the beast the massive cruise liner. Cruising has taken off exponentially this century. Slowly restrictions are being placed on them. I believe that from January 2024 all ships wishing to sail on Geiranger and Sogne fjords will have to be carbon neutral. This rules out all the present ones. Other places are restricting numbers and starting to charge for entry.
not a bad place to be
when we move confidently,
we can be wherever we select
and never know neglect...
but it must be responsibly!
In an age that can be intrusive
and meddlesome
we can still march to our own drummer,
yet do good exponentially!
It only takes one...
"Gardening imparts an organic perspective on the passage of time."

The self-sowing perennials in my flower garden seem to have spread exponentially. The Black-Eyed Susans, also known as Rudbeckia, are a favorite of the many bees I find zipping here and there. It seems I keep finding more and more reasons to linger in the garden.
This young Long-eared Owl couldn't have picked a better spot to pose for my camera. I hope that I didn't disturb him too much.
There is a disturbing trend that I have noticed in the last couple of years. The number of people photographing Owls (and other wildlife) has risen exponentially. Maybe Covid has prompted more and more people to enjoy nature as a safe outlet. I am seeing large numbers of photographers surrounding Owls with large cameras, lenses and tripods. They stay for hours and talk loudly, stressing the poor Owls unnecessarily.
Please everyone, take your photos quietly and then leave the area. They are beautiful creatures and deserve our respect and protection.
It snowed yet again last week, and if this year is like most, it will snow a couple of more times before summer arrives. As usual, the bird activity increases at a nearly exponential rate as the flakes fly. This dark-eyed junco took a brief rest before rejoining the fray at the feeders.
What's really nice about these guys visiting is that it allows me to squeeze off a few clicks to keep the rust off the camera skills.
Stay Safe!
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

Nobody delivers the if-looks-could-kill look quite like a Great Gray Owl. It will stop you dead in your tracks every time. I have always been in awe of these incredible creatures and after spending a few days observing them I can say my respect and admiration for them has grown exponentially.
When we first moved to Stow on the Wold in 1978 (!!!), these little houses were particularly attractive. We were hugely disappointed that we couldn't buy one, because nobody who lived there wanted to sell. Today, the main Fosse Way runs just to the right of the service road that you see, and the traffic has increased exponentially. What was a pleasant position has become one of noise and pollution - and they call it progress...
Countless trips to this area over time had never produced something much to my tastes, but finally one morning with 45MPH winds kicking up dust and creating mood inspired clouds to appear in conjunction with a gap on the horizon creating ideal conditions for a single shot to come through shining and spectacular. This was the first time noticing game cameras in the location, which I've seen the park services doing more of in sensitive locations... the other being old growth trees, and special trees. Although it's nice to think there are some types of protections in place, the reality is, that much of our natural world is slowly being destroyed. That being said, much of this destruction is a result of accessibility, and the truly untamed and unexplored areas of our world, which still exist, are fantastic and available like no other time in human history. Over the last 10 years I've watched our photographer population expand exponentially, and the outdoors have become crowded with people that have successfully been influenced by some of these great and talented artists.
Die Euler'sche Zahl (in der Regel einfach mit "e" bezeichnet, benannt nach dem Schweizer Mathematiker Leonhard Euler) ist (neben Pi) wohl die wichtigste Naturkonstante in Mathematik, Wissenschaft und Technik. Neben vielem anderem ist sie wichtig etwa bei der Beschreibung des radioaktiven Zerfalls und des natürlichen (exponentiellen) Wachstums.
Die Zahl ist transzendent und damit auch irrational, sie hat entsprechend unendlich viele Stellen. Die ersten Stellen lauten 2.718281828459. Wird 10e auf drei Nachkommastellen gerundet, ergibt sich 27.183. Hier erfolgt die Darstellung auf einer alten MAUSER-Bügelmessschraube.

The Euler's number (usually simply designated with "e", named after the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler) is (besides Pi) probably the most important natural constant in mathematics, science and technology. Among many other things, it is important, e. g., in the description of radioactive decay and natural (exponential) growth.
The number is transcendent and therefore irrational, it has an infinite number of digits. The first digits are 2.718282828459. When rounding ten times e to three significant digits, the result is accordingly 27.183. Here it is shown by means of an old MAUSER outside micrometer.
When a small object moves in a viscous medium it experiences a resistive force that is opposite in direction to its velocity and directly proportional to its speed.
As time gets large, the exponentials become 0, so the first term vanishes and the second term becomes -VN, the natural (=terminal) velocity in the downward direction. This happens whether the object up initially (v0 > 0), down initially (v0 < 0), or just dropped (v0 = 0).

Monday Music Mania! youtu.be/kC-9pOJAicU HMMM!!
I've been practicing my hummingbird photography with the Z9 and both the 500PF and 800PF lens, and I've been very pleased with the results. In the past with my DSLR's, I've had mixed results keeping these little dynamos in focus. Now, with the Z9, my keeper rate has gone up exponentially. I'm so looking forward to getting them on some flowers!

A very common bird in our region in the grasslands and open areas. An insectivorous bird that flies in short bursts of undulating flying pattern which appears playful.
The bird lays nests on the ground in the grasslands or dry lake beds similar to other birds like Oriental Pratincoles, Stilts and Sparrowlarks etc.. Last summer, I went to check on the nests and it was impossible to sight them since they were extraordinarily camouflaged. An expert showed me the nests and I had to trudge in his footsteps to avoid stamping on those nests.
The start of winter sees its number grow gradually as the number of insects grows exponentially due to increase in moisture and good weather conditions.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback.

Love all that blue - but it's dizzying to look at this for very long, I think. I was intrigued with the challenge of framing this in a way to create some interest in spite of the conformity throughout the row after row of sameness.
A very common bird in our region in the grasslands and open areas. This is an insectivorous bird that flies in short bursts of undulating flying pattern which appears playful. They are generally seen on the ground in the grasslands, banks of lakes and other grassy patches walking on the ground and looking for insects.
The bird lays nests on the ground in the grasslands or dry lake beds similar to other birds like Oriental Pratincoles, Stilts and Sparrowlarks etc.. This one must have fledged recently based on the plumage - it was quite curious about the photographer and didn't move much while I was around. There was another fledgling next to it at a short distance - both were very curious, but the other one maintained its distance.

John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, deliberately sounding more like Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band than The Boss himself at the height of his popularity, rode the mistaken identity ploy all the way to the top ten on the U. S. pop charts, anchoring the top-selling soundtrack album for the film "Eddie and the Cruisers (1983). The movie told the story of a rock band from New Jersey who in the 1960s had promise, but then their lead singer died (mysteriously). They had a reunion in the 80s as a result of a reporter's investigation into the singer's death. The soundtrack sounded much more 80s than 60s. The movie was a complete flop at the box office. And yet, here I am, playing air drums in public at an old drive-in theater just off Route 66, somewhere in New Mexico, I think.

The koala is now officially listed as endangered – a decision both long expected and completely preventable.
This now seems to be the norm. We only take notice when things go completely shit.
In my local area the decline of koalas has been exponential.
This area is a koala corridor and we did have a big population of koalas until the fires wiped out most of them. Fortunately
they have secured that land now for koala habitat, giving some reassurance that it is possible for them to make a come back in that area.
Developers wanted the land and to actually keep it as koala habitat was not an easy process.
You would think with such a once thriving population of koalas the decision would of been easy but I guess the mighty dollar comes before saving a species.
Introducing another of my wild friends, Sirius Blackbird.
He's Cilla Blackbird's partner, and it was Cilla that introduced us, at the beginning of their breeding season!
Not long after I established a friendship with Cilla (who would land close by for me to throw food to her), she landed beside me with Sirius in tow; I'm sure there was some communication between us all, led by Cilla: 'Pauline, this is Sirius; Sirius, this is the human I told you about---I'll be back at the nest, sitting on eggs; you land here, look cute, she'll throw you food, you pick it up, and bring it to me at the nest; OK, everyone?'
Within a couple of days, I saw only Sirius, who duly collected food and flew off with it, a routine that got exponentially more frequent once their chicks had hatched and he had even more mouths to feed!
I think Sirius and Cilla had three broods this year, and I didn't see much of Cilla until the breeding season was over.
"I'm trapped and my back is up against the wall
I see no solution or exit out
I'm grinding it out, no one can see
The pressure is growing exponentially
I'm trying to keep up to speed with you
Your lane changing is oscillating me
I'm hitting the ground and I'm sprinting
I'm falling behind now I'm tuning out"
During the pandemic, the Winter Garden seems to have grown exponentially, looks to be bursting out almost. I thought this looked pleasingly eerie (or even moon-like) in black and white and, although not a street photo in the classical sense, there is a bit of human interest there too. A different sort of photo from me today!
Located high above Phoenix in the foothills of Black Mountain and Elephant Butte, Cave Creek has accomplished the nearly impossible task of maintaining its old west character and charm in an era of exponential growth within the metropolitan Phoenix area.

I counted over 40 cranes in this shot. You can also have a glimpse of the giant Burj Dubai tower, which height is currently above 675.3 m (2,215 ft) with 177 completed floors. As a reference, the Taipei 101 (today's tallest building on Earth) stands at a height of 509.2 m. The final height of the Burj Dubai still remains undisclosed. It's due to be completed in September 2009.
My dear friends, I am still in the middle of (slowly) catching up with your streams. Tomorrow, I am moving to my new apartment, and will be unpacking my shipment which has arrived from Singapore. So I won't be much online for the next few days...

I've grown up in this area for nearly all my life albeit a few years away, and yes, there obviously has always been life on this river and the surrounding waterways, especially so with Portsmouth and Southampton being East and West of us and being either the Royal Navy in Portsmouth or indeed the Ocean Liners of Southampton, the River here and surrounding properties has grown exponentially!
(Now) There are millions and millions of £ pounds in either real estate or vessels in or berthed around this River to what was a quieter waterway when I was growing up!
But, I stood on the pathway that snakes itself alongside, and there was the wildlife gently still going about its natural business as it has from the times before, and it is that, that takes me back.
2k Tempco resistor, scale in mm. I use these tiny resistors to build temperature stable exponential converters for oscillators in modular synthesizers.
Lens: Yashica ML 28/2.8 (reversed) @ f/11 + 12mm extension tube + adapter. I initially went in closer with a full 60mm of extension tubes and a 2x teleconverter but then I was so far in that it was impossible to get anything intelligible.

If you're a beach bum you can really get into waves - but I never know what I'm going to get with fog.
I'm not very good with early mornings unless I'm on holiday - sounds crazy I know, but being a photo crazed addict has kind of turned my priorities upside down.
On the way here there was no fog until I got up high onto the Hog's Back (thought the fog was supposed to be down in the valley but like I said I always keep an open mind because you never know).
I didn't have to get up til 6.00 which is pretty civilised (& why I like these short days), plus the weather looked promising - (clearish sky, low temperature & no wind can sometimes equal mist or fogginess in varying degrees of surprise & in random places)
10 minutes after this the Sun had risen a bit higher & the waves disappeared to be replaced by whiteness everywhere & none of this view was visible.
Gradually the Sun burnt the fog away afterwards.
In addition to this live geography practical lesson, I also learnt some other things ( I learn something new every time I come out).
Having been turned from a reasonably law abiding citizen into a serial trespasser by my camera, I'm pretty used to being told off by farmers and gamekeepers even though I haven't actually been shot yet, but I don't usually photograph in places like parks or where there are loads of dog walkers.
To get this, I parked near the top of the hill in Guildford and walked up through the grass to this spot by the big pylon.
I understand how Pavlov could train dogs to drool by ringing a bell, but another conditioned reflex that isn't used as an example is how when a dog gets out of a car and sees long grass, it causes a reflex at the back end of the alimentary canal that causes a dog's sphincters to relax completely.
If you want to drive home in a clean smelling car, always keep your eyes peeled & stay on the path on the way back to the car - because if you go off-piste in the long grass, the frequency of treading in something that needs to be scraped carefully from underneath your shoes rises exponentially the closer you get to the car park! - trust me on this one! :)

Leonardo Fibonacci (c.1175-c.1250) introduced our numeral system (originally Hindu-Arabic) to the West in 1202. He also described the famous mathematical sequence named for him: every number after the first two is the sum of the two previous ones.
Many things in nature develop according to that sequence, e.g. this Sneezewort, Achillea ptarmica, in which the branching shoots grow in line with it.
Our wonderful Polygonia c-album, Serrated Comma Butterfly, reminded me, too, of this mathematics. We've all heard the urban myth of the Peruvian Butterfly that by the flapping of its wings causes great storms over the Alps and various other far-off places. This phenomenon might be described in terms of an exponential dependence on initial - slight - conditions. This kind of exponential can also be thought of as a Fibonacci Sequence.
Germination épigée d'une graine de zinnia.
L'embryon a démarré sa croissance exponentielle: La radicule entourée de fins filaments soyeux commence à s'enfoncer dans la terre tandis que la tige propulse vers le haut les cotylédons encore protégés par le tégument. Les cotylédons, feuilles primordiales constitutives de la graine, vont bientôt se débarrasser du tégument, se déployer et verdir.
Epigeous germination of a seed of zinnia
The embryo has started its exponential growth: the radicle surrounded with fine silky filaments begins to sink into the earth whereas the stalk propels upward the cotyledons still protected by the integument. Cotyledons, essential leaves of the seed, will soon eject the integument, spread and turn green.

A nasty room inside an abandoned sanitarium. Three years ago I positioned these chairs in a semi circle. Much to my surprise they have remained virtually in the same position however the level of decay has grown exponentially. The water, mold and other disgustingness on the floor was not there before & shows just how quickly places that are not maintained become destroyed by nature.
Most patients visiting that department can get an urgent need to pee...no loo close by though. Jonathan received his biopsy results and he has Intermediary Prostate Cancer but has declined treatment for it. An Op is out of the question as cannot undergo an anaesthetic....He is fine about everything.. even my photo choice, although he thinks it a little odd..
BTW Jonathan has been under close observation for five years due to his younger brother dying from an aggressive form of this cancer aged 65.. the latest PSA just escalated fairly recently and exponentially so Jonathan and I knew it would be cancerous..
Relieved it doesn’t appear aggressive but not as low grade as we had hoped disappointingly..
It just doesn't get any better than this man. I've known Thom now for about 5 months. Over the past couple of months, my interest in and my feelings for him have grown exponentially. I've undeniably fallen deeply in love with him!
Although some of you may be skeptical and say this is moving way too fast, I really don't care, because I can't deny the feelings I have in my heart and in my head for Thom, and I trust him with all my heart when he says he loves me back just the same.
So, I can only hope that my new found friends on here and some of my old friends who I will be adding to my new Flickr page, will be supportive of my new and exciting life to come with Thom.
There were a couple of new places for me to explore when we were in Florida (Thank you Gary and Judith!), one being Lakes Park in Fort Myers. Great habitat for birds and wonderful walking paths for me to wander. This Limpkin was kind enough to walk along the water’s edge, making for some nice backgrounds.
One of the things that I noticed when using my 500mm PF lens is it has increased my ability to be nimble exponentially. As much as I like my 600mm lens, it is always attached to a tripod which limits me at least in my ability to react to what the subject (in this case, birds) is doing. This is especially true when capturing birds in flight. I do not have that issue with the much smaller and lighter 500mm lens. Since it is a prime lens, though, I have needed to become adept in “zooming with my feet.” With this limpkin being very close to me, I had to reposition myself several times as it strolled along.
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, fave or comment on my photos!
