“There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture.
Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera.
That is the moment the photographer is creative.
Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.”

Real People Series ~ Candid Street Portraits
When lockdown eased a fraction, and we were allowed to drive somewhere close to home for a bit of exercise, I decided to take the opportunity to go for a much-needed walk and indulge in a spot of landscape photography. So I made it so.
Goodness, it was great to be outside on a lovely evening. And for those of you who like a few random trivia facts, Wadenhoe was used as the backdrop for the opening scenes of the 1999 version of A Christmas Carol starring Patrick Stewart. So now you know.
Equipment: Nikon D500, Nikkor10-24mm @10mm. ISO 100, F16, 30sec. Hitech Firecrest 7-stop filter. Manfrotto tripod
Post-production: Colour balance shifted to bring out the warm colours, a few curve layers for non-destructive dodge and burn. And hint of Orton effect on the grass.
When they come it all happens in fractions
of what we call time.
They used unknown radio-waves
to contact those who can feel them.
Children, at first. Or children inside.
They let us turn our eyes up to their realms
in secretly-weaved ways, apparently obvious:
gusts of wind, charming lightnings, hypnotic hums.
Not many of us can see what and how they are.
Commonly they are dressed with cloud-sewed clothes.
But they cannot hold this temporarily atmospherical form.
They call me just like stone-generated lake-circles.
And just like stones to the bottom they fall.
Leaving me into a spiraled-swirl
of gaseous face-shaped glove; pushing me onto
a swirling spiral of galactically-proportioned love.

I do not even know the things I do not know. I can, however, imagine my limitations and turn them into an image. It reminds me that I can not see all there is to see. My vision is limited - cutting down all there is to see to that portion that is familiar to me. My photography is not like a mirror, it is rather a much-broken mirror focussing only on a fraction of what may be there.
Netherlands, Lisse, … a tiny fraction of a tulip field with millions of tulips in one colour next to a number of other fields with differently coloured tulips between the Keukenhof Park & the road to the village of Ruigenhoek.
“Keukenhof”, meaning kitchen garden, the park is situated near the town of Lisse.
The park is situated near the town of Lisse & is one of the world's largest flower gardens, therefor as known as the Garden of Europe.
On 32 hectares with approx.15 km of walking routes in the park bloom in spring with the annually main emphasis on more than 7 million flower bulbs in 800 different varieties of tulips also many other flowers well combined & arranged along the walking routes. Keukenhof is one of the world's largest flower gardens, therefor as known as the Garden of Europe, situated near Lisse.
The park is open annually only from mid-March to mid-May when the tulips are flowering. The best time to view the tulips is around mid-April.

Pashmina scarfs were a fraction of the cost in Qatar hence Mother and daughter brought a 'few' home.
Pashmina accessories are available in a range of sizes, from "scarf" (12" x 60") to "wrap" or "stole" (28" x 80") to full sized shawl (36" x 80"). Pure pashmina is a rather gauzy, open weave, as the fibre cannot tolerate high tension. The most popular pashmina fabric is a 70% pashmina/30% silk blend, but 50/50 is also common. The 70/30 is tightly woven, has an elegant sheen and drapes nicely, but is still quite soft and light-weight. A blend of pure pashmina wool and silk gives strength and durability to the pashmina. As a general rule though, the higher content of pashmina wool, the more expensive the textile.

A fraction of a second before there were five turtles basking on this log, and a second later they'd all disappeared beneath the surface. I was pleased to capture this algae-covered turtle in mid leap.

Pitch Drop, 2016, Julian Charrière
Pitch Drop (2016) refers to the experiment of the same name.
The experiment, begun in 1930 in a laboratory in New Zealand, that has been studying the dripping behavior of hard and rock-like pitch for some 90 years.
Charrière's work takes up this lengthy process: The time-based sculpture drips once every ten years, following a rhythm of centuries beyond the human lifespan.
Until the upper container would be empty,
more than 10,000 years would pass.
This enormous time span corresponds to the duration of the Holocene so far,
the period in the history of the Earth that marks the evolution of humankind
development of humankind from the Neolithic period to the
present.
I have seen the work of art years ago in Düsseldorf and could already notice minimal changes, but it has not yet come to the formation of drops.
It is also a good experiment to show that nuclear waste repositories, no matter in what hard sediment, will be in flux over the millennia.
Charrière clarifies also with this
which unimaginably long periods of time the earth's history is in comparison with human scales.
Why the artist is concerned ...
The title of his exhibition is "Controlled Burn"
The extraction of tar or pitch is probably very old. While tar is clearly a product of dry distillation from woods or coals, pitch, on the other hand, can be described as a by-product of tar production. Tar has an oily consistency and remains semi-liquid or viscous, while pitch retains its viscous property only at high heat and hardens when cooled.
The basic material of coal is mainly of plant origin.
Typical coal formation takes its beginning in extensive swamp forests of lowlands. The trees bind carbon dioxide, CO2 from the air by means of photosynthesis and convert it into the carbohydrate cellulose and other organic compounds.
After individual trees die, they sink into the swamp and are thus removed from the normal aerobic decomposition process - peat is initially formed.
Coal is formed from the peat when subsidence occurs over geological periods of time, i.e. many tens of millions of years, and overburden.
In this process, with increasing depth of subsidence, both the ambient pressure and the ambient temperature rise to well above 1000°. This causes the so-called incarburization of the peaty sediments.
Initially, lignite is formed. As the depth of injection increases, the coalification process intensifies. Lignite becomes hard coal and finally anthracite. For this reason, the quality of coal is often better the deeper it lies in the earth and the older it is.
Similar processes occur in the formation of oil and gas. The artist wants to make clear to us the time span of our waste and the corresponding climate and earth damage in proportion to the formation time of the fossil energy sources ...

Große Beschleunigung und immerwährende Geschwindigkeit
ist die Grundlage und Credo unserer modernen Industriegesellschaft, die somit in Sekundenbruchteilen abermillionen an Tonnen an CO2 produziert, durch die Verbrennung von Rohstoffen, die sich über millionen von Jahren langsam aufgebaut haben.
Pitch Drop, 2016,Julian Charrière
Pitch Drop (2016) nimmt Bezug auf das gleichnamige Ex-
periment, 1930 in Neuseeland im Labor begonnen, das seit rund 90 Jahren das Tropfverhalten von hartem und felsgleichen Pech untersucht.
Diesen langwierigen Prozess nimmt Charrières Werk auf: Die zeitbasierte Skulptur tropft einmal alle zehn Jahre und folgt somit einem Rhythmus von Jahrhunderten, der über die menschliche Lebensspanne hinausgeht.
Bis der obere Behälter leer wäre,
würden über 10’000 Jahre vergehen.
Diese enorme Zeitspanne entspricht der bisherigen Dauer des Holozäns,
dem Zeitabschnitt der Erdgeschichte, der die Entwicklung
der Menschheit von der Jungsteinzeit bis in die Gegen-
wart umfasst.
Warum es dem Küntler geht ...
Ich habe das Kunstwerk vor Jahren in Düsseldorf schon gesehen und konnte minimale Veränderungen schon feststellen aber zur Tropfenbildung ist es noch nicht gekommen.
Charrière verdeutlicht auch mit diesem
Werk, welche unvorstellbar langen Zeiträume die Erdge-
schichte im Vergleich zu menschlichen Massstäben
kennzeichnen.
Sein Ausstellungstitel - Controlled Burn ...
Die Gewinnung von Teer bzw. Pech ist vermutlich sehr alt. Während Teer eindeutig ein Produkt trockener Destillation aus Hölzern oder Kohlen ist, kann man Pech dagegen als ein Folgeprodukt der Teerherstellung bezeichnen. Teer besitzt eine ölige Konsistenz und bleibt halbflüssig bzw. zäh, Pech dagegen behält seine zähflüssige Eigenschaft nur bei großer Hitze und härtet bei Erkalten aus.
Das Ausgangsmaterial von Kohle ist hauptsächlich pflanzlichen Ursprungs.
Typische Kohlebildung nimmt ihren Anfang in ausgedehnten Sumpfwäldern von Tiefebenen. Die Bäume binden mittels Photosynthese Kohlendioxid, CO2 aus der Luft und wandeln es in das Kohlenhydrat Zellulose und andere organische Verbindungen um.
Nach dem Absterben einzelner Bäume versinken diese im Sumpf und werden so dem normalen aeroben Zersetzungsprozess entzogen – es entsteht zunächst Torf.
Aus dem Torf entsteht Kohle, wenn es zu Absenkung über geologische Zeiträume hinweg, also viele dutzend Millionen Jahre kommt und zu Überdeckungen.
Dabei steigen mit zunehmender Versenkungstiefe sowohl der Umgebungsdruck als auch die Umgebungstemperatur bis weit über 1000°. Dies verursacht die sogenannte Inkohlung der torfigen Sedimente.
Dabei entsteht zunächst Braunkohle. Mit zunehmender Versenkung intensiviert sich die Inkohlung. Aus Braunkohle wird Steinkohle und schließlich Anthrazit. Deshalb ist die Qualität von Kohle oft umso besser, je tiefer sie in der Erde liegt und je älter sie ist.
Ähnliche Prozesse laufen bei der Entstehung von Öl und Gas ab. Der Künstler möchte uns die Zeitspanne unserer Verschwendung und der entsprechenden Klima- und Erdschädigung in der Proportion zur Entstehungszeit der fossilen Energieträger verdeutlichen ...

I walked this town for three rolls worth of film. It was an hour or so spent walking. The rain almost fell, the skies never parted, and regardless there were shadows.

The tiny breeding population in Britain, a minute fraction of the estimated 1 million pairs in Europe, is found principally in central and eastern England. Garganeys breed in shallow waters with extensive emergent vegetation, their ideal sites being in open marshland dissected by a network of lushly vegetated ditches and open freshwater pools. They nest in dense patches of aquatic plants such as reed mace Typha or common reed Phragmites australis, and occasionally in damp areas up to 50 m away from the water. Their main food during the breeding season is animal matter: snails, chironomid and other insect larvae, worms, leeches, crustaceans, frog spawn and tadpoles.

The garganey is a small dabbling duck. It breeds in much of Europe and western Asia, but is strictly migratory, with the entire population moving to southern Africa, India, and Australasia in winter, where large flocks can occur. (Wikipedia)
Strokkur geyser
Geyser a fraction of a second before it blew.
This geyser erupts every 10 to 15 minutes.
Leading up to an eruption the water raises and subsides, then raises a bit more and subsides, and a bit more...
This is the geyser that gave us the term "geyser" as it was the first known to Europeans. It is east of Reykjavik, Iceland and part of the "Golden Circle" tour
Adult pausing for a fraction of a second while feeding 2nd sitting babies that have not yet learned to catch insects or to fly (though they had by the next day) - yet they need to be ready within days to fly 6000 miles south to their winter habitat.... and the parents need to get them trained before they head off themselves, as they soon will regardless... to overwinter in Africa and return next April to these same nests in kent, England. Amazing calls of nature. Amazaing how FAST the adults fly in to feed their young, aiming at those yellow throats in the semi-darkness! (These scenes replicate my swallow-training series in June, with a first brood in Herefordshire). They apparently fly, on migration, about 300kms per day, taking about 5 weeks for the journey. Though occasionally spotted in Britain as late as early December and as early as February, those I've witnessed in Kent arrive almost routinely around 15 April and leave in early October.

Castelluccio è una frazione del comune di Norcia (PG) in Umbria.
Il paese si trova a circa 28 km da Norcia, raggiungibile attraverso una strada panoramica, posto in cima ad una colle che si eleva sull'omonimo altopiano (Piani di Castelluccio) tra i più vasti dell'Italia Centrale ed inserito nel Parco nazionale dei Monti Sibillini, ad una altitudine di 1.452 m s.l.m. che ne fanno uno dei centri abitati più elevati degli Appennini. Di fronte ad esso si erge la sagoma del Monte Vettore (2.476 m). Secondo i dati Istat, il paese si è spopolato molto velocemente, nel 2001 il paese era abitato da 150 residenti, mentre 7 anni dopo, nel 2008, sono stati censiti solo 8 abitanti fissi.
Castelluccio is a fraction of the town of Norcia (PG) in Umbria.
The village is located about 28 km from Norcia, reached via a scenic, place on top of a hill that rises on the plateau (Castelluccio Plains) are among the largest in Central and inserted in the National Park of Monti Sibillini, at an altitude of 1,452 m above sea level making it one of the highest towns of the Apennines. In front of it stands the silhouette of Mount Carrier (2,476 m). According to Istat, the country was depopulated very quickly, in 2001 the country was inhabited by 150 residents, while seven years later, in 2008, were counted only 8 permanent residents.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Corniglia is a frazione ("fraction") of the comune of Vernazza in the province of La Spezia, Liguria, northern Italy with a population of about 150 (in 2016). Unlike the other localities of the Cinque Terre, Corniglia is not directly adjacent to the sea. Instead, it is on the top of a promontory about 100 metres high, surrounded on three sides by vineyards and terraces, the fourth side descends steeply to the sea. To reach Corniglia, it is necessary to climb the Lardarina, a long brick flight of steps composed of 33 flights with 382 steps or, otherwise follow a vehicular road that, from the station, leads to the village. Sometimes a small bus runs.
The village stretches along the main road, Fieschi Road, and the houses have one side facing this road and the other facing the sea. Corniglia is characterised by narrow roads and a terrace in the rock from which all other four Cinque Terre's villages, two on one side and two on the other, can be seen. The town planning structure presents original characteristics compared to those of the other villages: the houses are lower set, and only more recently higher, similar to those of the villages of the hinterland.

Space appears calm, but it’s not always so.
Sometimes mighty magnetic explosions, just a fraction of a second long, can fling millions of electrons at supersonic speeds. NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale mission has been watching these explosions, called magnetic reconnection, around Earth, and it recently saw such an event behind Earth, away from the Sun.
There, magnetic reconnection was found to fling particles symmetrically, unlike how it does on the dayside. Learning about reconnection around Earth also helps us understand reconnection in faraway places across the universe where it’s impossible to measure directly.
