wishing all you Flickrites out there an awesome 2017

The VF-2 is an older electronic viewfinder originally built by and for Olympus. It works perfectly well with the Leica M 246 Mono. I can now get good focus in situations where the range-finding method would not work. Negatively, this tiny device consumes a lot of battery life.

♫Korn feat. Skrillex - "Get Up"

 

"Getting up close to a particular shadow element is every bit as important as witnessing it and relating to it. This is often quite an emotionally rocky ride, especially given that we may find ourselves without our usual adult skills, at least for a time, because the wounded child in us has surfaced to such a degree that we are looking through those eyes and feeling those feelings. The key is to get as close as possible to that part of ourselves without getting lost in that old worldview, staying emotionally raw even as we name and illuminate what is occuring." -Robert Masters

Another train going over the Two Medicine river, this shot has been on my bucket list for years so I took every chance I could to get it.

Here in The South west of England we are getting off lightly as the storm largely passes north of us.

 

Storm Babet batters large parts of country.

A rare red weather alert issued by the Met Office warning of a "danger to life from fast flowing or deep floodwater" has been extended until midnight on Saturday.

 

More disruption is expected elsewhere across the UK, with amber warnings for wind and rain issued for parts of northern England, the Midlands and northern Wales until 6am on Saturday.

 

The Environment Agency has issued 150 flood warnings - in areas where flooding is expected - and 194 flood alerts, where flooding is possible.

So I took this one in December last year but its taken me ages to get around to getting it edited and finally uploaded. I've still got thousands of photos from the last few years to go through and hopefully I'll start to make a dent on them before long, but am sure I've thought that a few times before and I've still got a massive backlog ;)

...Literally!

 

This is a shot I captured of an Orchard Orbweaver (Leucauge venusta) at somewhere in between 1.5:1 and 1:1. Working distance with this lens at this magnification is in the area of 3 inches (~7.5cm), which is not ideal when photographing spiders!

 

In this shot, even with my failure to find focus, you can see some details that have been missing from my 1:1 shots! Her spinneret is right on the edge of focus, and you can start to see the interesting structure of it.

 

This shot also displays her specialized setae ("hairs") on her back legs! They are located closer to the body and are noticeably "softer" than the other setae. She uses these specialized sensory setae to sense vibrations and movement as she hangs upside down in her horizontal web.

 

Once I get the working distance committed to muscle memory, I'll get some better shots.

 

This photo was captured at around 1.25:1 or so using my new (to me) Venus Laowa 60mm f2.8 Macro. This photo is uncropped. This outstanding orbweaver is around 5-6mm long, not counting her ludicrous legspan!

Getting more difficult to find shots around here.

"Get Down on It" Week Continues! A 7-day celebration of looking down our noses at our subjects, much like King Henry VIII did.

 

Painting: Chicago was thunderstorming all day yesterday, so I spent the morning in the corner of my studio where I go to paint, but mostly I watched the rain pelt the windows. Ahhhhhhh. Well, you know what happened next: a click of the shutter...then a nap. :)

 

My talented friend Kim also shot paint brushes yesterday, because great creative minds think alike. :)

 

Rain down on me

My buddy Jim Salge and I hiked to Victor Head to shoot the foliage. Unfortunately there is a tree right in the middle of the rock outcropping making it difficult to get a clean pano. So to get this shot: flic.kr/p/zyesAu we used our tripod as a camera boom. This is him getting his version of the shot.
