Sunrise in Flint Hills of Kansas.
This was focus stacked to get barbed wire and horizon both in focus. I'm sure I just need more Photoshop practice but wow did that take some time to get the image to look right. I've found that the photoshop focus stacking function doesn't work all that well on images like this with barbed wire so I did it manually.
Also used 3 bracketed photos for each focus stack for exposure blending in photomatix.
Flint è un pappagallo cacatua, proveniente dall'Arcipelago delle Molucche. Flint è la star assoluta della Biosfera che si trova la porto vecchio di Genova. E' un pappagallo dalle piume rosa che vive nella bolla da sei anni, ovvero da quando è nato. Il continuo passaggio di turisti e la vicinanza dei biologi che giornalmente si prendono cura delle piante e degli animali non costituiscono un problema per lui, che anzi ama farsi coccolare. Flint è anche un po' viziato, e vuole attrarre l'attenzione su di sé. Nessuno lo costringe a fare nulla (non è certo considerato un fenomeno da presentare ai visitatori), ma è un giocherellone e si diverte ad imitare i ragazzi e le ragazze che trascorrono con lui la maggior parte della giornata. Infatti sa aprire le bottigliette di plastica e aspetta i visitatori alla cassa.
Non sa parlare, ma solo perché per ora non ha avuto voglia di farlo. Chissà che in futuro non lo vedremo salutare i turisti con una frase di benvenuto.
Flint esce dalla bolla solo la sera, per andare a dormire. Ma il suo istinto non lo spinge a cercare di fuggire per conoscere il mondo: a quanto pare questo pappagallo, ormai genovese d'adozione, ama la sua Biosfera, che lo fa sentire al sicuro.
Visiting Flint Dock On The Wales Coastal Path
The dock was built in the 1800s to export lead from Halkyn Mountain and later coal and timber as
the boatyard developed. It’s hard to believe but this quiet quayside was once the busiest place in
Flint and also the dirtiest and most polluted due to the chemicals heavy industry used here.
Follow a winding path around the dock and into the woods beyond with glimpses of the estuary
SOOC. Playing around in the back yard with Flint testing out a new profile that's supposed to mimic Kodak Gold 200. He is very active and quite difficult to photograph but for some reason I really like this image of him even with him out of frame and focus.

..that I need some corrective lenses on my face when I shoot photographs these days. Regardless I don't like just any ol' shmuch playing with my eyeballs so I guess I'll just stick with slightly out of focus images.
This is Kadee (The Editor that helped make sure I didn't have typos and grammar mistakes on my "Walk In The Park" series) and this the amazing field we found today while walking around downtown.
Sure it doesn't look too impressive right here but considering what is a mere two blocks away, it's a real change of the hectic downtown atmosphere. Hopefully in a few weeks the brown grass will flourish into amazing green fields and I can get another portrait during the 'Magic Hour' and get an amazing Lou lens flare!

We pulled off the interstate to see a beautiful sunset in the Flint Hills on our way home from Thanksgiving.

Scene from the Flint Hills of Kansas. The entire state has seen its fair share of rain lately and has really turned everything green.
I've gone for B&W today, as apparently it's Black Friday. This is how I'd rather spend it - nowhere near a shop!
Cheddleton, Staffordshire. The mills used to grind down flints for use in the potteries. The flint powder made the pottery whiter and stronger.
The mills date back to 1253 when they were used to grind corn but the present buildings date from 1756 when the mills were converted to grind flint. They continued to operate until the 1960s.
Mom and her calf go for a stroll through the Flint Hills of Kansas. Taken about 30 min before sunset on a really windy day. So there was a fair bit of atmosphere to work with that helped with the lighting.

I just played around with this and created the composite using a second image of just the grille.

Here is a panorama of the large set of cattle pens outside of Cassoday, Kansas which shows off the beautiful rolling Flint Hills! This shot had to be taken in a hurry, but somebody I hope everything is not so rushed! Have a great week, my friends...

Anyone else notice the heart shaped chip in the flint on the right hand side of the shot?
Flint Bishop Airport use to put on a great airshow. In June of 1985 the Blue Angels were the featured attraction and they drew a huge crowd as they usually do. This was before the airport expansion and the new terminal. I parked in a grass field between the airport and the GTW railroad yard. After the airshow it was going to be quite awhile before I could depart because of all the people attending. So I wandered over to the railroad yard to check out the switching that was going on.
Back then the GTW had a yard tower to help supervise things. As I was watching along comes an employee who I can only guess was the yardmaster. He had been over watching the airshow too. I was overjoyed when he invited me up into the tower to get a ‘bird’s eye view’ of the action.
In this picture the engine on the left (SW1200 1502), having just sent a Santa Fe boxcar to its destination track, prepares to grab yet another string of cars. The yard tower is long gone as Bristol Rd was rerouted, for the expansion, right about where the tower use to stand.
FLINT HILLS, KANSAS -- Sumac leaves turning red in the fall on the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve north of Cottonwood Falls, Kansas. For lighting I just put my flash on my camera bag facing straight up at the leaves.

Flint corn (Zea mays var. indurata) also known as Indian corn or sometimes calico corn is a variant of maize, the same species as common corn. Because each kernel has a hard outer layer to protect the soft endosperm, it is likened to being hard as flint; hence the name. The six major types of corn are dent corn, flint corn, pod corn, popcorn, flour corn, and sweet corn.
