October 2017 submission for the 12.12 Project. The theme is "Two Worlds Collide."
Tu m'as touché ma main pour la première fois et toutes les étoiles dans notre univers se sont explosées en des billards de particules atomiques, les échards de lumière dorée pleuvant sur nous, quand le passé, le présent et l'avenir se heurtaient vers l'un et l'autre, dans une fraction d'une seconde. Et je savais que rien ne serait pareil.....
You touched my hand for the first time. All the stars in our universe burst into billions of atomic particles, splinters of golden light raining down on us, as the past, present, and future collided in the span of a millisecond. I knew that from then on, nothing would never be the same….

Hi Everyone, long time no see. My latest large scale build for Bright Bricks. 1:30 scale Mock Tudor House. It took about 4 weeks to build, several bricklink orders and it almost took my sanity, so I hope you like it ;)
There are some WIP photos on my MOCpage. The interior is a mass of support columns and beams to stop it twisting. The lower part of the external walls are made from 1x2 plates, which look great but when stacked this high cause lots of problems. Technically 3 plates stacked on top of each other are actually slightly taller than a brick. It is only a fraction but it adds up. To combat this I built the inner skin from bricks and the outer skin with the plates, every third brick (9 plates) I tied the walls together. This technique is actually very similar to real life cavity wall construction. I knew that surveying degree would come in useful one day ;).
The hallway is visible from the main window at the front of the house so I needed to include some interior details. For the rest of the house I blocked the windows out so you can not see inside.
I enjoyed building this house but it did get tedious by the end. The split levels and the sheer amount of windows and doors was a nightmare. I had to figure out a design for all the windows/doors before starting. I must admit I am very pleased with the outcome especially the plate work on the ground floor and the window lintels – so much snot work it almost drove me mad. Most importantly the client was over the moon with it.
Thanks for looking :D
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.

A fraction of a second before I got soaked by a wave at Fort Point. There was some awesome surf after the storm last week!
Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 24-70L, f/10 @ 1/3s, ISO 50. Tiffen circular polarizer.
Thanks everyone for the concern about my gear. "Soaked" is probably an exaggeration and the camera was fine :) My car, which was parked just out of the frame to the left, DID get soaked and needed a rinse to get rid of the salt water!
The balance-wheel of a mechanical wrist-watch is moving a tiny bit during the 1/250th second exposure time. The movement makes 21'600 vibrations per hour.
Une fraction de seconde avant l'impact. (prise de vue fortuite).

When you take a photo, you capture a fraction of a second. That is what makes photography so magical. You capture something that is only a fraction of a second; almost invisible to the eye. But sometimes you want to show a longer period of time in a photo, for example to suggest motion or other dynamics, with a slow shutter speed. However, circumstances do not always lend themselves for this. During the day the lighting condition are often too bright for plain long exposures.
ND-filters help you to expand your horizon. This is my first attempt at hyper longer exposure photography. Since a while now I’m flowing Yoshihiko Wada here at Flickr. He is, amongst other arts, a black-and-white fine art photographer. Making wonderful and eye-rich photos of cityscapes, buildings, bridges and traffic junctions. His ability to fixate 30 to 60 minutes of time into one photo is even more magical than capturing a fraction of a second.
So, I studied his workflow. He has a really nice web site, explaining all the details. From taking the photos or panorama, to stitching and above all the post-production. He shows you the ground rules and basic skills. Concluding with lots of advice to emerging photographers: Don’t rush. Don’t compromise! Don’t care about “Likes”. Make your own work. Copying is not a bad thing in the beginning. You can learn a lot from others. But please put your own essence or “spice” in it. Even though it was very subtle, keeping the little differences makes your work unique in the end.
I take my hat off to Yoshihiko Wada! And this is what I created in my first attempt. I had a lot of fun creating this, and so did Lightroom, as I pushed the boundaries…
Please feel free to comment and give your constructive opinion on this attempt. It’s a learning curve for me and I’m eager to go forward with this… to such an extent that Esther and I already made a list of buildings and locations we want to (re)visit for hyper long exposure photography.
Technical stuff
This a single shot, tripod based, photo. Taken at 160ISO, f8.0, 151seconds of exposure time, at 16 mils and using a 16 2/3 stop ND-filter. The timing was done by hand using a remote shutter and BULB-mode.
With regard to post-production… I produced this shot in LR. Just to experience the techniques behind is. And coming to the conclusion that PS is far better suited for these heavy duty productions. Furthermore, please visit the web site of Yoshihiko Wada at [yoshihikowada.com]. He does a far better job of explaining the principals and techniques, then I can right now…but my time will come ;-)
Finally, I added some copyright signs (in PS). The latter is, alas, there to stay due to the fact that my photos were frequently copied. So, don't bother commenting on that.
Steel processing here is a fraction of what bit once was. The largest blast furnace in the UK was at Redcar a mile or so away, which turned out around 10,000 tons a day when production started in 1979. Before that, there were around 90 smaller units on the banks of the River Tees.
Semi finished steel products are presently delivered to the sheds at Lackenby from Scunthorpe, on trains such as this the 6N31 07.46 steel slabs.
I think this is very pretty. I love shooting dynamic things using high speed shutter. There's something magical about capturing a moment that can escape within our grasp of time.
“Everyone knows the usefulness of what is useful, but few know the usefulness of what is useless.”
- Zhuang Zi (Chinese philosopher, died 286 BCE).
Did you know that everything we see is the product of reflected light? We don’t actually see the things-in-themselves, just their reflected light. In my recent series of infrared photographs I hope I made this point visible and clear. We cannot see infrared with the naked eye (in fact the visible light spectrum is just a tiny fraction of the entire electromagnetic spectrum in our universe). So just because we can’t see something with the naked eye, does not mean it is not real. Seeing infrared photographs however, enlightens us to this reality beyond our limited sense of Being. Radio waves is another example. Sure we can’t see them, but if we have an instrument to detect them and “tune in”, we can listen to wonderful music. The ancients would have seen this as pure magic. It is also analogous to spirituality.
In my posting yesterday, “Being Present in the World”, I opened that discussion with the concept of non-duality. We find the world and ourselves most real when we lose ourselves in the present moment and sense what it is to experience Being. The technical term for this philosophical approach is Phenomenology:
“...phenomenology studies the structure of various types of experience ranging from perception, thought, memory, imagination, emotion, desire, and volition to bodily awareness, embodied action, and social activity, including linguistic activity. The structure of these forms of experience typically involves what (Edmund) Husserl called ‘intentionality”, that is, the directedness of experience toward things in the world, the property of consciousness that it is a consciousness of or about something.” plato.stanford.edu/entries/phenomenology/
Long books of arcane philosophy have been written on these questions of the meaning of existence and how we understand our place in the world. Is it really possible to know anything about the world apart from our senses? Can we even trust our senses as a guide to what is true? Surely the world really exists “out-there”? Are there worlds we cannot see? But what phenomenology tells us is that it is pointless to look for a completely objectified ready-made world “out-there”, what we must do is understand that our consciousness of the world is what makes the world “real” to us. In perhaps the most influential phenomenological book of all time, “Phenomenology of Perception” (1945), the French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty, grounds our understanding of the world in our body. Through our body and senses we participate in the world, and what we learn through this gives us insight into the reality of Being.
So how does all this relate to photography? Or is it in fact just “useless” knowledge?
Let me put this question several different ways. Why do we love taking photographs? What are we trying to achieve? Is it to impress others with our life experiences (as in our latest holiday snaps in Majorca)? Is it to create our own subjective and artistic view of the world? Is it to share the beauty of Nature? Is it to awaken consciences over social issues? Is it a way of impressing ourselves upon the world through taking selfies and sharing them on social media (both go together by the way)? Are we just collectors of image-experiences? Is photography a form of therapy? The list is really endless if we are looking for individual justifications of why we photograph.
But what if we begin by examining our own photographs to see if there are some clues there about our “intentions” (Husserl’s word) when we go out with a camera in hand? Because you can be sure that the kind of photographs we produce will shape our understanding of the world and vice versa. The very fact we talk about “composing a photograph” is a sure sign that we are not merely reproducing an external world. The clearest example of this that I have ever consciously produced is my slide show called “Suburban Dreams 65 Photographs”. www.flickr.com/photos/luminosity7/52275162056/in/dateposted/
But the photograph I’ve chosen to discuss here is of the Low Head Lighthouse at dusk. In fact it is one of the first photographs I took when I bought my Nikon D850. I had decided to make a return to photography after many years, having previously used film cameras. Perhaps these questions might give you some examples of how you can interrogate your own approach to taking photographs. It is also important that these questions are framed in the first person. “I” see it this way, “others” may not. These questions are in fact more important than the specific answers.
* Why did I frame this picture in a portrait or vertical orientation?
* What was the significance of this time of day for me?
* Why did I choose a lighthouse?
* Why did I wait until the light was on to make the photograph?
* What made me decide for colour and not black and white?
* Why did I take the photograph from a beach?
* What was so appealing about the sky that made me give it so much room in my frame?
* Why did I choose to emphasize the various layers in the photograph from the sand, rocks and grass in the foreground to the various layers of light and cloud above the lighthouse?
* What sort of mood am I creating?
We could go on, but the more questions like this we ask of ourselves, the better we will come to understand the role photography plays in helping us to see the world the way we do.

Sugar beet used to be one of the main agricultural products of Hungary up until the end of communism.
After that, a fraction of the 12 sugar factories remained active in the country, with their number decreasing to 5 by the 2005s.
Later, when Hungary joined the EU, according to the EU sugar market policy 4 factories had to shut down, leaving the Kaposvár plant the only one processing Hungarian-grown sugar beet.
Most of the beet is being grown in the fields of the Alföld. After collecting at nearby train stations, the beets are loaded onto local freight trains, to be unified into unit trains transporting them to the Kaposvár factory on the main lines.
Csabacsűd on Line 125 is one of the loading spots still seeing weekly trains: the empty cars usually arrive on Thursdays, get loaded on Fridays, to then head to Békéscsaba on Saturdays.
On the 15th of October, we headed down to Szarvas, to catch one of these loaded runs with Levente, only missing a little detail that would interfere with our plans: that day was an extra workday.
This meant that the designated freight crew of Békéscsaba with Sergei 109 got some other duties according to their Monday schedule. This usually means switching cars at Orosháza, but that morning also entailed a mysterious-sounding "salt train" to Gyula.
Freight traffic is very rare in this direction. So naturally, we made our way to the line in the early morning, disembarking the Bzmot at Bicere stop, where the station dispatcher welcomed us with overwhelming joy and quickly confirmed that the freight train will be soon en route from Békéscsaba, with 4 cars.
We took our positions, and soon the sound of the 6-axle Soviet beast started to echo around the Southern Alföld... with 4 wood-loaded cars. Quite salty indeed!
Honey bees are known for their construction of perennial colonial nests from wax, the large size of their colonies, and surplus production and storage of honey, distinguishing their hives as a prized foraging target of many animals, including honey badgers, bears and human hunter-gatherers. Only 8 surviving species of honey bee are recognized, with a total of 43 subspecies, though historically 7 to 11 species are recognized. Honey bees represent only a small fraction of the roughly 20,000 known species of bees.
The best known honey bee is the western honey bee, (Apis mellifera), which was domesticated for honey production and crop pollination.

Looking back to Monterosso
Corniglia is a frazione ("fraction") of the commune of Vernazza in the province of La Spezia, Liguria, northern Italy. 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 and 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 up and down here.
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 obtained 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 also 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.
Corniglia is mentioned in a famous novella of Giovanni Boccaccio's Decameron and in the novel The Invisible Circus by Jennifer Egan.

This high yellow individual is rather atypical for this subspecies. However, in this particular population, this morph represents a small fraction of the animals (an extremely rough estimate is 1 in every 50–100 animals). Belgium.
There is always a story ... in a way silly: I was home-schooling my daughter (10) and realised I had never myself added a sequence of more than two fractions in the one operation. The solution is pretty, in the mathematical sense. The sum a/x+b/y+c/z = (ayz+bxz+cxy)/xyz. Given that: any number of fractions can be added in two lines. As the say: QED.
Brown Creepers burn an estimated 4–10 calories (technically, kilocalories) per day, a tiny fraction of a human’s daily intake of about 2,000 kilocalories. By eating a single spider, a creeper gains enough energy to climb nearly 200 feet vertically.
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows an edge-on view of the spiral galaxy NGC 5023. Due to its orientation we cannot appreciate its spiral arms, but we can admire the elegant profile of its disc. The galaxy lies over 30 million light-years away from us.
NGC 5023 is part of the M51 group of galaxies. The brightest galaxy in this group is Messier 51, the Whirlpool Galaxy, which has been captured by Hubble many times. NGC 5023 is less fond of the limelight and seems rather unsociable in comparison — it is relatively isolated from the other galaxies in the group.
Astronomers are particularly interested in the vertical structure of discs like these. By analysing the structure above and below the central plane of the galaxy they can make progress in understanding galaxy evolution. Astronomers are able to analyse the distribution of different types of stars within the galaxy and their properties, in particular how well evolved they are on the Hertzsprung–Russell Diagram — a scatter graph of stars that shows their evolution.
NGC 5023 is one of six edge-on spiral galaxies observed as part of a study using Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys. They study this vertical distribution and find a trend which suggests that heating of the disc plays an important role in producing the stars seen away from the plane of the galaxy.
In fact, NGC 5023 is pretty popular when it comes to astronomers, despite its unsociable behaviour. The galaxy is also one of 14 disc galaxies that are part of the GHOSTS survey — a survey which uses Hubble data to study galaxy halos, outer discs and star clusters. It is the largest study to date of star populations in the outskirts of disc galaxies.
The incredible sharp sight of Hubble has allowed scientist to count more than 30 000 individual bright stars in this image. This is only a small fraction of the several billion stars that this galaxy contains, but the others are too faint to detect individually even with Hubble.

...lest we would sift it down
into fractions, and facts –
certainties –
and what the soul is, also
I believe I will never quite know.
Though I play at the edges of knowing,
truly I know
our part is not knowing,
but looking, and touching, and loving,
which is the way I walked on,
softly,
through the pale-pink morning light.

Compare the iridescence on the wings and tail in this photo with image 0410. Iridescence is caused by the intereference between light waves reflected from the sub-microscopic (nano) structures of the feathers.
The slight change in position of the bird in a fraction of a second alters the angle, and also where the iridescence is seen.
Many thanks to everyone who takes time to view, fave or comment on my pictures.

Despite everything the railways threw at this train, it is actually on time, but only achieved a fraction of its itinerary. It left Derby 123 minutes late, and managed the Monk Bretton branch. However, a failed Voyager just outside Wakefield Westgate station blocked its path, plus the ECML disruption caused by the power failure at Peterborough leading to many late running trains. The test train laid over at Calder Bridge loop, then returned on its booked path. Here at Moorthorpe, 97304 heads back to Derby.
