A substantial fraction of Faroese homes, old or new, have a Hjallur. It's basically a partially vented (see the holes and vertical slats) drying room that's designed to allow moderately cool outdoor storage.
One of the primary uses is to make Skerpikjøt, the local delicacy: a leg of mutton is basically hung up and let ferment and dry for a period of time that's usually 9 months or more.
The result is a hard and dry mutton that's got a, well, particular taste and smell.
In the 1960s William Condon pioneered the study of body language that occurred within a fraction of second, which he called “micromovements.” For example, in a careful, frame-by-frame analysis of a video, he noticed a wife moving her shoulder just as her husband’s hand came up – an interaction of micromovements that formed a “microrhythm.” The psychologist John Gottman was even able to predict what relationships would endure or fail by examining the micromovements of couples interacting with each other in video recordings.
Famous for his theory of emotion in facial expressions, Paul Ekman added to these findings with his research on what he called “microexpressions,” which are looks that flash across a person’s face, usually within 1/15 of a second. Involuntary and extremely difficult to control, these instantaneous reactions surface in the middle of other facial expressions over which the person has more command. Because underlying emotions provoke them, microexpressions reveal what people are truly feeling, often when they are uncomfortable with and deliberately trying to suppress and conceal that feeling, or sometimes when the feeling is unconscious. The emotional leakage usually involves the seven basic facial expressions that are universal across cultures: those indicating anger, fear, disgust, surprise, sadness, happiness and contempt. Researchers and law enforcement officials have found that microexpressions thwart contrived attempts to fake a facial presentation and therefore are useful in exposing lies.
Most people, up to 80 or 90 percent, don’t notice microexpressions in others, although they can be trained to detect them. Even if we don’t consciously recognize them, they still might have a subliminal impact on our impression of people and how we respond to them. So if you think you are acting on a hunch about a person, it may not be pure “intuition.” Your eye and brain in fact detected the person’s emotion revealed by the expression that flashed across his or her face. For these reasons, some psychologists believe that research on microexpressions supports Darwin’s observations about the evolutionary significance of emotion and how it is expressed.
So what does this have to do with photography? Well, think about the applications to shots of people. Photographers specializing in portraits well know that when asked to smile, subjects don’t look like they do when they smile spontaneously. Their expression often seems at least a bit contrived. In fact, the muscles used for a posed smile are different than those involved in a natural smile. Photographs of people are more interesting and true to the character of the people in them when the subjects behave freely and without self-consciousness.
Actually, these kinds of natural facial expressions, when the subject isn’t “trying” to look a certain way for the camera, are a bit different than microexpressions. The microexpression is unique in its brevity and how it reveals an underlying and perhaps concealed emotion. A photograph that captures it is a record of a fleeting glimpse into the subject’s psyche.
This fact poses some interesting dilemmas for the photographer. First, let’s consider a purely technical issue. Because the microexpression occurs in a flash, it’s quite difficult to capture in a single snapshot. Shutter speeds surely are fast enough to do the job, but the human photographer’s reaction time lags far behind the moment. Even if you train yourself to spot a microexpression, they are long gone before you press the shutter button. If you’re a person with considerable psychological and interpersonal sensitivity, you might be able to tune into the situation, anticipate when a microexpression might occur, and capture it. Perhaps you’re talking with the subject or carefully observing the interaction among people while you’re shooting. But even with accurate intuition and a camera boasting superfast frames per second, you could still miss that flickering facial expression. Largely, it’s going to be a matter of luck, which is often the case in photography.
Then there’s an even more tricky ethical issue. If a microexpression reveals an underlying emotion that people might be trying to deny and conceal, or if it’s an unconscious feeling, or even if they’re simply uncomfortable showing it, should the photographer capture that private sentiment? Might the person feel vulnerable, exposed, intruded upon, betrayed, or angry? Of course, the answer to that question depends on a lot of things – like the personality of the subject, the nature of his or her relationship to the photographer, how the photograph will be used, and how viewers might interpret it. A look of joyful surprise on an otherwise stoic man’s face might be perfectly acceptable to everyone if it’s a perfectly timed shot of him walking into his surprise birthday party. However, imagine how intrusively manipulative it would be for a photographer to pose a personal question to a subject – such as “How do you feel about your mother?” – as a prelude to capturing the person’s micro-expressive response.
The researchers also offer some caveats. Ekman, for example, states that people sometimes confuse the expressions for fear and surprise, as well as the ones for anger and disgust, because they involve similar muscle movements. Mark Frank, an expert on how microexpressions betray attempts at deception, warns that one microexpression or a collection of them is not proof of anything. They have meaning only in the context of other behavioral cues.
This holds true for microexpressions in general. If we do succeed in capturing one, the meaning conveyed in the photograph will be shaped not just by the culturally universal emotion associated with that expression, but also by other aspects of the subject, the situation surrounding the subject, and the psychological effects created by the composition and the post-processing of the image. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts and surely any one part, even if that part is the highly revealing microexpression.

This is where the two coyotes were just a fraction of a second before.
I was busy taking pictures of a tree turning nice fall colors. My little doggie Inu was wandering around in the nearby desert. I don't know why, but for some reason I happened to glance over in his direction. Two beautiful, healthy coyotes were stalking him and were almost within striking range. The wind was blowing towards the coyotes, and Inu was completely unaware of the danger he was facing.
I looked right at the coyotes and began walking towards them. They of course were hyper-alert and were immediately aware that I had spotted them. I had a Nikon camera in one hand, and my loaded Ruger .380 with the laser sights was in its concealed holster, but I didn't even bother to take it out. As a point of interest, this LCP is the same model of handgun that Texas Governor Rick Perry used to kill the one coyote when it expressed too much interest in his dog.
Coyotes see a little doggie like Inu as a nice fat little snack, but unless they have rabies or something they won't mess with a big animal like a fully grown, mean old bastard of a human, especially one who is carrying a licensed concealed handgun.
Anyway, I finally lifted the camera up and zoomed all the way out to a 35mm equivalent focal length of 678mm in order to take a picture of these two beautiful coyotes but they had just disappeared around the corner.

Students were learning about fractions. The task was to find pictures in magazines, and place the picture into one of four columns: whole; half; third; quarter. For each column, students were to divide the picture into equal parts depending on the fraction.

A fraction of what it once was, Rebmann's Glacier lies near the southern icefields and like the other glaciers on Kilimanjaro, is receding at an alarming rate. Estimates differ but experts seem to agree that somewhere around 2030 most, or all, of the glaciers will be history by that point.

Embarking on our honeymoon in Sept '23, we set out for Tanzania to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro, the largest free standing mountain in the world at 19,431'. These are the highlights through my perspective of what was an epic journey.

Bolingbroke Castle is now a fraction of its former glory but - in its day - it was a handsome and important building. As the birthplace of Henry of Bolingbroke, later King Henry IV, it could be argued that Bolingbroke was the cradle of the so-called 'Wars of the Roses' as it was Henry who overthrew the unpopular Richard II - but his act of rebellion also established a precedent. Two generations later the House of York overthrew his equally unpopular grandson, Henry VI.

The area had been fortified by the Saxons in the 6th or 7th century AD but in the 12th century the Normans built a motte and bailey castle on a nearby hill. The present castle was founded by Ranulf, Earl of Chester in 1220 shortly after he returned from the Fifth Crusade. Its imposing round towers were fashionable and he may have been inspired by castles he saw on his travels. He also chose to build without a keep although the huge gatehouse may have served a double function of both keep and gate.
The site is an irregular hexagon with round towers at the salient points and a handsome twin-towered gateway facing the present village. The moat to the main site was 90-100 feet wide with the water lapping at the base of the walls when built. Today, so much material has fallen into the moat that there is now a wide berm around the base of the exterior wall where visitors can walk. When built it was lime-washed in white and traces of this remain on some of the walls today.
Ranulf had died in 1232 without a male heir, and his titles, lands and castles passed to his sisters. Following the death of the first Duke of Lancaster in 1361 Bolingbroke passed through marriage into the ownership of John of Gaunt. His wife Blanche, daughter of Henry of Grosmont, was born at the Castle in 1345. John and Blanche's son, Henry was also born at Bolingbroke Castle in 1367 and became known as "Henry of Bolingbroke" before he took the throne in 1399.
In addition to this main castle there is a ditched outer enclosure (see aerial photo) which may have served an agricultural purpose. Within this there is a mysterious earthwork of roughly 'playing card' shape with its long side facing towards the castle. This earthwork has not been positively identified but the ditch is still deep enough to be flooded today and was clearly defensive. It is probably a siege earthwork from 1643 (its in the right position and at the right range for muskets and cannon) but the enclosure also strongly resembles the king's 'pleasaunce' which Henry IV's son, Henry V, constructed at Kenilworth Castle during his reign. At Kenilworth this functioned as a secure pleasure palace to entertain friends, and the ladies, at the far end of the huge lake and moat. Bolingbroke's may have been an earlier essay in the craft given that Henry of Bolingbroke was under constant threat when he got into dispute with Richard II. Henry snr may have needed somewhere outside the smells and claustrophobia of the castle's main walls where he could kick back and enjoy himself in relative security. The outer ditched area around would then lend itself to riding and hawking. Think of it as a 'man cave' in the garden perhaps? Of is it just a Parliamentarian siege work?
The local building material was poor in quality and by the 16th century, the castle had fallen into disrepair. Some work was carried out during the Tudors. In 1636 a survey found that all of the towers were - effectively - beyond repair.
A bad castle is better than no castle, so at the start of the English Civil War Bolingbroke was garrisoned by the Royalists. In 1643 it was damaged in a siege and the nearby Battle of Winceby. The following year, the castle was recaptured from Parliament but was lost again later. In 1652 the castle was 'slighted' (deliberately damaged) to prevent any further use. The towers and walls were torn down and dumped into the moat. The last major tower fragment collapsed in 1815.
Of course none of this collapse would have been helped by locals robbing the stone for their own buildings. Large parts of the castle are probably in the village and in surrounding farms and villages!

Arbatax, Tortolì fraction, is one of the most important ports on the east coast of Sardinia, located on the northern tip of the promontory of Capo Bellavista, the town is built around a tower of the late sixteenth century, which served as a munitions depot. Arbatax is famous for the characteristic red rocks, a cliff of red porphyry, which is located near the harbor, behind the east pier. Beyond the reef opens a passage carved into the rock through which you go to a beach at the foot of the red rocks.
Arbatax is a territory rich in green Mediterranean scrub and the characteristic red rocks and masses of porphyritic granite.
Arbatax is a stunning place to be in the spring, when you can see an explosion of colours with the contrast of the rocks of the headland and the reef, the white sandy beaches and the limpid waters. A natural frame to this panorama are the surrounding mountains, the highest on the island.
Arbatax (in sardo Arbatassa) è una frazione costiera del comune di Tortolì, in provincia dell'Ogliastra, sede di porto e di aeroporto (Tortolì-Arbatax).
Arbatax si trova su una penisola, (Capo Bellavista), al centro della costa orientale sarda, a ridosso dello Stagno di Tortolì. I centri abitati più vicini sono Tortolì (che è il capoluogo del comune di cui la frazione Arbatax fa parte: a 5 km), Girasole (a 7 km) e Lotzorai (ad 9 km).Le Rocce Rosse sono il Monumento Naturale più conosciuto di Arbatax, oltre che uno dei simboli dell'Isola. Vengono anche detti, meno diffusamente, "Scogli Rossi" e rappresentano una delle tante formazioni di filoni di porfido rosso affiorante dell'Ogliastra, (come per esempio i faraglioni di Cea a Bari sardo). Situate tra il Porto e Cala Moresca, queste rocce di porfido rosso dalla forma particolare che va man mano a stagliarsi nelle acque del Mediterraneo, non sono solo un monumento naturale ma rappresentano anche lo spendido e panoramico scenario della piccola spiaggia di scogli bianchi e di granito rosa, nonchè scenario dell'appuntamento annuale del ROCCE ROSSE & BLUES, una manifestazione musicale molto famosa

Our son Elias, as seen through my "Cenei Vario-Spiegel-Vorsatz". This photograph has been created just in a fraction of seconds. It's a snapshot to test my old "Cenei Vario-Spiegel-Vorsatz". Since I liked the result I post it here.
The "Cenei Vario-Spiegel-Vorsatz" is an interesting device from the 1970s. (Ok, the name is a bit longish, but for German speaking people it gives some hint of what it's all about since it contains the German words for "variable", "mirror" and "attachment". The "Vorsatz" is a black tube which you can screw into the filter thread of your lens. The tube is telescopic and can be extended (to double its length). Inside there are lots of curved mirrors which project multiple images of what is around you into the frame. Depending on the focal length of you lens and the degree of the extension of the tube the effect the device produces can be quite different. To make the use of the "Vario-Spiegel-Vorsatz" even more flexible you can rotate the front part which contains the mirrors. This way you can precisely adjust the position of reflections in your photo. Pretty cool!
For my shot I combined the "Vario-Spiegel-Vorsatz" with my AF-S Micro NIKKOR 40mm 1:2.8 G. I haven't used the "Vorsatz" for many years (given that the 1970s are over...) but maybe I'll put it back into action from time to time.
I was watching over them for 5min and i don't know why but it feels to me that something will happen.. so i framed the place 1st as always and was waiting for something ...
suddenly the man run.. he was running just like hell for nothing... actually what we see and what actually happens is totally different and every Fraction is different and Interesting in a life time..

ift.tt/1b1zHi1 Happy Thanksgiving! Here at TGL - the staff and anyone who's ever been on a team - thankfulness is abundant. It's impossible not to be a more thankful person when spending time with brilliant people who have a fraction (of a fraction) of what you do, entering their homes, playing with their kids, sharing a meal, and get given the gift of taking their photo. Or seeing the joy on a child's face as they review a photo that they took, that they are proud of - literally, beaming. Or to come face to face with the most extreme of poverties and walk away knowing you have the power to make a difference. Whether it is our teams in Nicaragua, Jordan, Tanzania, Peru, India (welcome home everyone!) or our team that is right now on the road to meet in Cambodia. Anyone who's ever believed in The Giving Lens and come along with us knows - you cannot come home the same person. More humbled, more giving, more aware - more thankful. Here is a photo from our India trip. Can you guess what these kids are thankful for? What our team is thankful for? Notice: Kate's camera is not in her holster (bottom left). That's right - a student of Dalit Freedom Network took this photo! Way to Go! ps - stay tuned for new trips being announced! #TGLindia #thegivinglens #dalitfreedomnetwork #thanksgiving

This is a fraction of the story for NGC 4194. There is a lot of data available for this galaxy in the archive and I'm sure it'll get a press release at some point. This processing features only the bluer WFC3 data because I was stupid and didn't check to see that there was ACS data which covered a redder range. That will come later, hopefully in combination with some of this UV data.
As with most galactic mergers, there is a lot of star formation going on here and this galaxy is notable for the magnitude of star formation going on in its centre, which is referred to as the Eye of Medusa.
