a fool mask on a old house in Trieste
--
una faccia di pietra dall'aria davvero idiota, che si trova su una casa del rione di Cavana (Trieste). Le facce di pietra vengono chiamate anche "panduri", dal nome degli speciali reparti di fanteria appartenenti all'esercito asburgico tra il XVII e il XVIII secolo, i cui componenti venivano reclutati tra i contadini serbi e ungheresi.

Rocky says I am staying in bed, I know you are going to try and make me do something silly for April Fools Day and I am not falling for it!
Daily Dog Challenge - 883. 4/1 "April Fool!"
Our Daily Challenge - APRIL FOOL is the topic for Thusday 1 April
Nairn, an ancient fishing port and market town east of Inverness.
Nairn also has miles of great beaches but it was these rocks by the harbour, with the yellow seams looking like gold that caught my eye, with strong winds and choppy seas the long exposure worked just right.
Here's the April Fool's joke I played on Skye. I'd played a joke on Jenna and Hayley earlier that morning, and Skye was quite disappointed that I hadn't played one on her. She didn't know I'd already had this one planned. :-)
April Fool's Day fun. Thanks Flickr!

My third piece from my Fool Me series. There's been a lot about the child molesting priests in the Irish news recently. This sums up my thoughts on the matter. If you view it large you can see that the wafer has a certain symbol on it.

PCA184 – Low Key
Sunday, November 20 - Sunday, December 4, 2011
Image Tag: pca184
We tried this 96 assignments ago. Let's give it another shot.
The assignment is to photograph any subject using low key lighting style. Low Key photography is dominated by black, and highlights are used to paint in the detail. Its more than just an underexposed photo, and its more than just a black background. Low Key should have some amount of pure white or at least highlights in it, and usually does not have a lot of middle-gray. Some research on the web will quickly show that there is a wider than expected definition to low key so some studying may be in order.
WIT:
A shamelessly sentimental photograph of me fooling around with my wife.
The setup was similar to last week except the light was above us and slightly behind. I was inspired to do this by a film poster that I saw coming out of the cinema tonight. It took me a while to figure out how the light was positioned to light both the actor and actresses faces - Anne pointed out that it must be above and behind them because the actress was looking back and up at the actor.
It is quite tough to get the focus right when you are also in the shot. I used my little 50mm f1.8 prime lens (best value for money ever!) and set the aperture at f7.1 and experimented with exposure till I got the right shot.
I would have liked to have had more light in the eyes but a reflector brought in too much light and spoiled the low key effect for me.
I did some tweaking in photoshop to remove stray hands and trouser legs that seemed to add confusion to the shot - it isn't obvious that I am sitting behind Anne (who is kneeling) so it was a little confusing to see a knee sticking out there.
We had fun on April Fool's. No coffee?! That's a cruel joke
And special thanks to SleepyNeko for using the CC license! We used her photo and love it! Thanks SleepyNeko!
Why the Fool? Because this was the very last shot I took with my demo Carl Zeiss 2/50 - and I was a fool for trying, now that I HAVE to buy it. ;) But this is a pure SOOC - no crop, no color adjustment, no nada! I took this for my Lenscrack group ( www.flickr.com/groups/lenscrack/ ) - in which this month's assignment is SOOC. Nikon D700 + Carl Zeiss 50mm The journey is the reward. Please, no group invitations or badges.

Fusibility 2.5–3 to a magnetic globule
Solubility insoluble in water
The mineral pyrite, or iron pyrite, is an iron sulfide with the formula FeS2. This mineral's metallic luster and pale-to-normal, brass-yellow hue have earned it the nickname fool's gold due to its resemblance to gold. Pyrite is the most common of the sulfide minerals. The name pyrite is derived from the Greek πυρίτης (puritēs), “of fire” or "in fire”, from πύρ (pur), “fire”. This name is likely due to the sparks that result when pyrite is struck against steel or flint. This property made pyrite popular for use in early firearms such as the wheellock.

Un tributo al Whedonverso, específicamente a mi amado personaje Spike (“Buffy Cazavampiros”), interpretado maravillosamente por James Marsters. En el episodio 5 de la temporada 7, “Fool for love”, ocurren unos hechos terribles en el metro de Nueva York en 1977… bueno, este es el punk Spike de entonces. Mi querida Missy me dio la idea de hacer este muñeco.
❤
This is a tribute to the Whedonverse, especifically to my beloved character Spike (“Buffy the vampire slayer”), gorgeously played by James Marsters. Remember the episode “Fool for love” (season 5, episode 7), in which terrible things happen on a New York City subway in 1977?
Well, this is Subway Spike! My dearest Missy gave me the idea to make this paper doll.
