Georgia O'Keeffe (American, 1887 - 1986)
Georgia O'Keeffe, born in Sun Praire, Wisconsin, was a major figure in the American Modernist art movement of the early 20th century. She challenged the boundaries of modern American artistic style, synthesizing abstraction and representation, transforming her subject matter into powerful iconic images. O’Keeffe enrolled at the Art Institute of Chicago and later, the Art Students League in New York City. She also worked with Arthur Wesley Dow whose influence strongly affected O'Keeffe's thinking about the process of making art. She exhibited with other pre-eminent artists in the avant garde art movement in New York City at Alfred Stieglitz’ 291 Gallery. She and Stieglitz married in 1924. After a first visit to New Mexico in 1929, she was inspired by the landscape and forms of the region, which she visited and painted from 1929 on, buying a house at Ghost Ranch in 1940, her well-known hacienda in Abiquiu in 1945, and moving to New Mexico permanently in 1949 after Stieglitz’ death. O’Keeffe is chiefly known for paintings of flowers, rocks, shells, animal bones, and landscapes. Her paintings present crisply contoured forms co-existing with subtle tonal transitions of varying colors. Although she had lost much of her central eye vision, O'Keeffe continued to paint until only weeks before her death in Santa Fe, NM in 1986.
Soft tantalizing petals
Of the perfect flower
Giving peace and calmness
Over life’s ongoing agony
Hope brings a mind’s eye
Visions of love’s heart
Talks of simple past
Greater than perfection
Happy Macro Monday !!
I have weakness in my eye vision (both physical and photographic), For me it is difficult to see the scene in ultra-wide angle perspective.
Photographers need to organize the space within the frame. When you have wide angle lens, you need to move a lot in order to find a different view and also you need to get really close to your subject.
Sometimes when you shoot architecture and buildings, there is physical limitations that prevent you to get closer to your subject.
I need more practice with my new wide angle zoom 10-24mm,
Happy Sunday!

God is having a joke with me. I love photography but I have the impaired eye vision. My night vision is very weak and that is part of the reasons I do not take a lot of night shots (because I could not see clearly in the dark).
I did not take stars shots at night before. As an alternative, I take stars picture duing daytime. This is not so easy to see all stars in daylight ... :o)
Have a great day!

When Saturday comes...and today, finally, it did
like a pressing in the chest, of a most unwelcome kind
sharpish and persistent it echoes a pain so long hid
attacking my senses beyond control, peace I cannot find
Hell, when is this going to end, get this giant pain off my frame
it now pierces my shoulder that can no longer carry the weight
blame loses balance in anonymity, and more's the shame
before midday of my life I'm beginning to fear all I couldn't contemplate
That which raises it's head well above mine and grins, sickly
down it spits lava, the burning-up heart of me
whatever will become of this weekend, growing ever more prickly
hopes no longer approachable, my power is out as far as I cannot see
Another couple of beats lost...forever...now the fight to regain a steady pulse
oh this is exhaustive...motionless, breathlessly crazed
gasping a pocket of air, from somewhere, for the ticker to convulse
this doesn't get any easier, what the world can't see it remains unfazed
"If I look alright then I must be alright" is now making me utterly sick
for this body has suffered long and hard enough to die several times over
but survives as a testament to self will and a loyal walking stick
just what does it take for an admission, moreover-
If I'm so well, why is this living getting so goddamned difficult?
being marooned in the scudding of 'pins and needles'
that which frightens the sweat out of me in forsaken tumult
as if I've seen a ghost in my own mirror where reality dwindles
There goes another beat, and another, seconds without life
my fingers ache the absence with a trigger-twitch
sooner or later, surely, I'm going to fall asleep from this rude, awaking strife
as wide-eyed visions delineate with a slight glitch
Absence of working heart has made the end grow nearer
please, put me on hold a while longer, if nothing else
I can just about withstand the present, even if the future is no clearer
now I know not where to look; it's darkness this ruddy pain impels
If minutes could turn the hours in less than the blink of an eye
then I could remain awake where I presently lie
this, even a devilish nightmare could not deny
it may even become a stipule where my heart went awry
Within this "healthy" looking frame is a writhing sea of torment
a spine of land smashed by a surging swell of hurt
eroding the golden beaches of past plays, the current serial lament
when will the 'New Year's Day' usher in a uniting concert?
"Under a blood-red sky..." entwines my recall of past mobility
only, the gathering crowd, wrestles my own emotional will -
to live and rejoin them; "I will be with you again"; is heard with invisibility
with or without, my heart is stealing the life from me, still.

"Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a 1977 science fiction film written and directed by Steven Spielberg. The film stars Richard Dreyfuss, François Truffaut, Melinda Dillon, Teri Garr, Bob Balaban and Cary Guffey. It tells the story of Roy Neary, an Indiana electrical lineman, whose life changes after he has an encounter with an unidentified flying object. However, the United States government is also aware of the UFOs as is a team of international scientific researchers.
Close Encounters was a long-cherished project for Spielberg. In late 1973, he developed a deal with Columbia Pictures for a science fiction film. Though Spielberg receives sole credit for the script, he was assisted by Paul Schrader, John Hill, David Giler, Hal Barwood, Matthew Robbins and Jerry Belson, all of whom contributed to the screenplay in varying degrees.
The title is derived from astronomer/ufologist J. Allen Hynek's classification of close encounters with aliens, in which the third kind denotes human observations of actual aliens or 'animate beings'.
Filming began in May 1976. Douglas Trumbull served as the visual effects supervisor, while Carlo Rambaldi designed the aliens. Close Encounters was released in November 1977 and was a critical and financial success. The film was reissued in 1980 as Close Encounters of the Third Kind: The Special Edition, which featured additional scenes. A third cut of the film was released to home video (and later DVD) in 1998. The film received numerous awards and nominations at the 50th Academy Awards, 32nd British Academy Film Awards, the Saturn Awards and has been widely acclaimed by the American Film Institute. In December 2007 it was deemed 'culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant' by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in National Film Registry.
...The film was originally to be released in summer 1977, but was pushed back to November because of the various problems during production. Upon its release, Close Encounters became a box office success, grossing $116.39 million in North America and $171.7 million in foreign countries, totaling $288 million. And it became Columbia Pictures' most successful film at that time. Jonathan Rosenbaum refers to the film as 'the best expression of Spielberg's benign, dreamy-eyed vision.' A.D. Murphy of Variety gave a positive review but felt 'Close Encounters lacks the warmth and humanity of George Lucas's Star Wars'. Murphy found most of the film slow-paced, but was highly impressed with the climax. Pauline Kael called it 'a kid's film in the best sense.' Jean Renoir compared Spielberg's storytelling to Jules Verne and Georges Méliès. Ray Bradbury declared it the greatest science fiction film ever made." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close_Encounters_of_the_Third_Kind
Menshikov commissioned the architects Giovanni Maria Fontana and Gottfried Schädel, who built his residence, the Grand Menshikov Palace from 1710 to 1727 (not to be confused with Menshikov Palace in Saint Petersburg, built by the same architects around the same time). The central part of the Palace is connected by two galleries with two domed Japanese and Church Pavilions.
The Lower Garden, decorated with fountains and sculptures, and the Upper Garden were laid out at the same time. The Palace is located near the Lower Park, whose composite axis is a channel leading to the sea. This channel is an imitation of one designed by Peter himself at his nearby residence of Peterhof Palace. Oranienbaum is a royal residence, located on the Gulf of Finland west of St. Petersburg. The Palace ensemble and the city centre are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
In 1707, four years after Peter the Great founded Saint Petersburg, he gave the grounds near the seaside to his right-hand man, Aleksandr Danilovich Menshikov.
A child's world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring, is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood.

Just relax!
Can we relax and enjoy the time without flying 2 or more hours to another place? Can we have good time at home or hometown?
This is another feet candid taken in my vacation.
Have a great weekend! We are very wet in Vancouver!
This is the repost of my Lisbon vacation picture. The following is the original story.
My friend always advises me you should enjoy the scene instead of taking the pictures.
As photographers, we all know that photographic vision is very different from naked eye vision. What you see is not what you get in photography.
You enjoy the scene but you also want to take the pictures. Or shall we say we enjoy the scene by taking the pictures?
This is the scene taken at one of the popular lookout and viewing point in Lisbon, Miradouro de Santa Luzia.
May be I have to clarify that these are not my shoes! :o)
This is a candid shot only.
Have a great Wednesday!
Hiding right in front of us is a world we cannot see. Humans evolved to see light, but only a small portion of it that is useful for our daily lives. There is more to be seen beyond this limitation, including patterns in flowers that are invisible to us. Thankfully we have the technology to break down these barriers and explore a world only seen by pollinators.
Many insects can see into the ultraviolet, and some flowers take advantage of this by creating patterns that can only be seen in these otherworldly spectra. Take these Black-eyed Susans (Rudbeckia hirta) for example. We know these flowers to have a black center and solid yellow petals, but there is a special trait that we would never have noticed without the aid of technology: almost half of every petal absorbs ultraviolet light, while the rest reflects nearly all of that spectrum. This creates a very large, UV-dark target that bees (and other observant pollinators) can see.
To be fair, it’s impossible to know how a bee might perceive such information – they see more than just UV light, and we cannot comprehend exactly how their compound eye vision interprets information in general. That said, these flowers evolved to take advantage of their pollinator’s ability to see shorter wavelengths of light – or maybe the pollinators evolved to see these patterns? It’s a “chicken and egg” scenario. I know that certain cultivars of the genus Rudbeckia have a dark ring that is visible to our own eyes, and I’ve always wondered if this was caused by selective breeding of specimens that had a genetic mutation that shifted the UV pattern into the visible spectrum. A botanist might know the answer!
To create this image, I used a camera modified for “full spectrum” photography. Camera sensors are natively sensitive to light from roughly 300nm through 1000nm, but human vision is limited to only 400nm-700nm. This means that for a camera to properly depict the world as we see it, filters are added to limit the sensitivity range to that of our own eyes. These filters can be removed by trained professionals (don’t try it yourself!), and a camera can then be outfitted with filters to limit the spectral range to something different – including infrared and ultraviolet.
The problem with photographing UV light directly has two primary components: filters and lenses. You’ll want a filter that blocks 100% of visible AND infrared light. If even 1% of the infrared light sneaks through, it’ll equal to all of the UV light that the sensor can detect and wash out your image. The best filters on the market are from maxmax.com – the XNite 330C coupled with the XNite BP1. The two filters combined are the absolute best option. You’ll also want a lens designed for the task; I used a Rayfact 105mm F/4.5 lens which is the successor to the UV-Nikkor lens of identical specifications. This lens is made of quartz optics that allow for better ultraviolet transmission. Such lenses and filters are NOT inexpensive, but there are some options for you to consider at a fraction of the cost. I’ve bought from this eBay seller before, and I can attest that this setup works quite well to start out: www.ebay.com/itm/273863933139 - it’ll cost you more to get a camera converted to full-spectrum that it will for the lens and filters!
The camera I had converted was a Lumix S1. Fantastic camera to do this with, especially when I’ve had some documentary work requiring high-quality video in unusual wavelengths. With the high-resolution mode, I was able to shoot this image at a greater distance and crop in, negating the need for any focus stacking efforts.
If you’d like to learn more about UV reflectance photography, you can check out my new book on macro photography: skycrystals.ca/product/pre-order-macro-photography-the-un... - a 384 page book with nearly 90,000 words of photographic instruction. While more time and attention is given to UV fluorescence photography, there is still value in exploring the capture of ultraviolet light directly.

Seeing a WAP - 4, i was sure that it was that the train would Mumbai bound Janta Express. But turning the clocks, WAP - 4 turned out to be BRC WAP - 4e #22923. After the Loco crossed, with a cat eye vision I looked at the destination boards and got a 440 Volts shock.. The train turned out to be 12926 Amritsar (ASR) - Mumbai Central (BCT) Paschim Superfast Express running late by a whooping 148 minutes.

Some people argue that true panoramic has to cover an angle of view more than 120 degrees field of vision. This is almost impossible for regular eye vision (I mean seeing without turning around your head).
And panoramic format is another example of photographic vision that illustrates the difference with physical eye vision i.e. “what you see is not what you get” in photography.

The obvious problem here being that little Blea Tarn is in deep shadow. It was mid-afternoon & at this particular location, on Lingmoor's western slopes, shadow was slowly consuming the entire scene. It would be nice to be everywhere at the optimum time in order to capture the idealized, mind's eye vision, but I suppose 2 or 3 presentable shots from one costly day trip to Lakeland has to be seen as a success.

I find eyes both beautiful and fascinating.
I also find photographing eyes very difficult!

Much has happened since my last upload. I was dealing with plantar fasciitis on my left foot, my left eye vision wasn't in HD for awhile, my house got broken in and stole stuff including my camera gear which the insurance didn't covered it.
But all is well now, i had since replaced some of my gear and my health is getting better :)
