I have a few things to say about this movie... When I saw its previews, I got a totally different idea of what it was going to be. But I did like the actual plot, pretty innovative. It is not a new concept in literature, but you do not see it taken to movies very often. I was impressed the director went this direction. And I do like Nicolas Cage's acting. But - such sad, sad and depressing movie :(
The Christmas Season fills our hearts with joy;
Bright, happy days bring special kinds of pleasure.
We're wrapped in the excitement of it all,
The sights, the sounds, the smells, the tastes we treasure.
Yet when we have some quiet time to think
About our finest blessings all year through,
We focus on our family and our friends,
And appreciate the gift of knowing you!

Night falls on the Goffs Schoolhouse, which was originally built in 1914 along historic Route 66. The schoolhouse served the town of Goffs as a 1st-8th-grade one-teacher school until the spring of 1937. During its 23 years of operation, some 425 different students and 18 teachers passed through its doors. Located on Route 66 at the Mojave Desert Heritage and Cultural Association in Goffs, CA. I illuminated the scene with a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 light while the camera's shutter was open during this long exposure night photo.This was on a trip with night photographer Tony Donofrio and George the monkey for a short November trip.

Knowing that this week's theme at The Photo Forum is 'shooting through' I went looking yesterday for elements through which I could shoot.
Happy Bench Monday!
2 Timothy 2:23
"But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. "
I take this verse to heart. It's obvious to tell someone seeking the Lord who just want to ask questions , from someone who is simply looking for arguments and debates to debunk Christianity and the faith. The scriptures tell us not to entertain this type exchanges as it will develop into disputes, and no one wins. Christians are warned not to throw the pearls to swines. Meaning, the goodness of the message of salvation to people who already in their hearts rejected Jesus Christ as they will end up even ridiculing the faith.
Jesus didn't chase people up to believe Him. If one rejects God, accept it. In my own understanding, we have to dust our feet as we leave the person or his house. If the person is your family, friend or others you care for who rejects Christ, you can pray for them. But salvation is by individual bases.

This photo was taken from Cebu looking out towards Negros Oriental from the port of Bato. It only takes 30 minutes by Cargo Ferry across to Cebu, which vehicles easily.
Knowing this would be a long exposure, and the tide was in-coming, I set up the camera high up from the waterline. And I nearly had to abandon the shot as the waves were lapping dangerously close to my precious snap-machine towards the end of the shot.
Equipment: Nikon D7000, Nikor 10-24mm @10mm. ISO 200, F11, 679 sec. Hitech 16-stop Firecrest ND filter, Manfortto Befree tripod
Post-production: Cloning to remove dust specs, etc., a bit of burring added to the “smooth” bits to disguise annoying pixel noise. Finally masked curves used separately for sky and foreground to balance exposure and contrast
The Mahajah Arch, also known as Jabal Mahjah, is a remote sandstone formation in the Tabuk region of Saudi Arabia. Wind and rain have sculpted magnificent arches rising nearly 40 meters high, while ancient carvings of camels, horses, and geometric patterns mark the lower rocks — silent traces of those who once passed through this desert. It is a dream destination for photographers.
It was early afternoon when we set out toward the Arch. Even with three SUVs, the journey across the desert proved far more challenging than we had expected. On the way, two of our three vehicles became stuck in the deep sand. We tried everything — digging, pushing, adjusting the tires — but every attempt only caused the cars to sink deeper. Endless desert surrounded us. No signal. No help in sight. As the sun began to lower, desperation quietly crept in.
Then, as if sent by fate, a group of local Saudi people appeared. They were driving back after visiting the Mahajah Arch themselves. The moment they saw our situation, they stopped and immediately began helping us. They worked tirelessly, digging and pushing alongside us. But the sand had swallowed our vehicles too deeply, and their first attempts were unsuccessful.
While working, they learned that we were photographers hoping to capture the Arch before sunset. Without a second thought, three members of their group offered to drive us to the Arch so we could catch the last golden light, while the others stayed behind to continue rescuing our cars. Their generosity left us speechless and deeply moved.
As the sun dipped toward the horizon, we finally stood before the magnificent Arch, capturing the images we had dreamed of — knowing that strangers were working in the sand for us.
After sunset, once our cars were finally freed, the group escorted us all the way to the highway intersection to ensure we were safely on our way home. It was already 10 p.m. Before parting, four members of their group began dancing and singing in the desert night, filling the air with joy and laughter. Under the vast sky, surrounded by sand and stars, their happiness was contagious.
We struggled to hold back tears, unable to find words strong enough to express our gratitude and respect. What began as a moment of fear and helplessness became a powerful reminder of human kindness.
It was more than a photography trip. It was an unforgettable experience at the Mahajah Arch — one that we will carry in our hearts forever.
It wasn't such a great Winter for the resident koi in the conservatory - they all died after a water change in their pool. And the frogs in the next room were rumored to be absent, as well. But they're fine - you just have to take your time looking through the moss and duck weed on the wooden dividers. :)
Knowing I didn't have a lens really suited for wildlife (not even a 300mm on a DX sensor could quite cut it), I decided to concentrate then on the landscape of the Bosque del Apache. It was nice the clouds cooperated :)
a clippety clop it goes
this nagging knowingness
a drip-dropping aloneness
a still-of-night remoteness
a head-flopping heaviness
this nagging knowingness
a shrunken world below us
a carved out hollowness within us
this socketless electricity
this unyearned-for-loss
a clippety clop it goes
a clippety clop it goes
this nagging knowingness
it can end
this nagging knowingness it can end

Before knowing the weather condition of the Himalayan region we should understand its geography. The Himalayan region covers an area of 2,250 km with an average width of 200 km.
The forest belt of the Himalayan region consists of Oak, Rhododendron, Birch, Pine, Deodar, and Fir. And the monsoon season in this region lasts for mid June till the end of September. The Himalayas influences the meteorological conditions in the Indian subcontinent to the south and in the Central Asian highlands to the north to a great extent. It acts a climatic divider circulating the air and water system to a great extent. Because of its altitude and location it blocks the passage of the cold winds coming from the north to the Indian sub continent thereby making India's climate much more moderate. It also influences the rainfall pattern in India. The combined effect of rainfall, latitude and altitude largely influences the forests belts in the Himalayan region. The rainfall is mostly recorded during the monsoon time of June to September but it decreases as you travel from east to west. The snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas stretch 2, 250 km from the Namcha Barwa to Nanga Parbat on the Indus. The range extends from east to west up to central-Nepal and then takes a southeast to northwest direction.

Knowing I had a free afternoon today I'd been keeping a close eye on the weather forecast all weekend. Turns out they were right for today - it was glorious. So after teaching I headed straight to Steart to see if I could catch up with the Shorties again - at least 2 seen throughout the afternoon hunting over the saltmarsh.
I got myself hunkered down against a fence post at a corner of a field - and tried to remain below the height of the fence. I know these can be quite confiding at times however I thought I'd maximise my chances by keeping low to the horizon and staying put (I must admit I love the whole business of stalking (no smart remarks thanks) and experimenting with fieldcraft, it completely absorbs me and I'm intensely 'there' - I love it!)
I'm pleased with the progression in the shots and the experience provides more food for thought with regard to possible new lenses - of course dosh is going to be primary deciding factor as to whether I get anything new or not. We'll see.

This Coyote gives me a stare with eyes exuding it's legendary human-like intelligence. Where many animals are driven towards extinction by human activities, Coyotes quickly learn to thrive. This one was spotted on some suburban farmland adjacent to a large housing tract.

The Words the Holy Spirit Speaks to the Churches | "Knowing God's Work Today"

Almighty God says, "The work done by God during this age is chiefly the provision of the words for the life of man, the disclosure of the substance of the nature of man and the corrupt disposition of man, the elimination of religious conceptions, feudal thinking, outdated thinking, as well as the knowledge and culture of man. This must all be laid bare and cleansed away through the words of God. In the last days, God uses words, and not signs and wonders, to make man perfect. He uses His words to expose man, to judge man, to chastise man, and to make man perfect, so that in the words of God, man comes to see the wisdom and loveliness of God, and comes to understand the disposition of God, so that through the words of God, man beholds the deeds of God."
, The Church of Almighty God was created because of the appearance and work of Almighty God, the second coming of the Lord Jesus, Christ of the last days. It is made up of all those who accept Almighty God's work in the last days and are conquered and saved by His words. It was entirely founded by Almighty God personally and is led by Him as the Shepherd. It was definitely not created by a person. Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. God's sheep hear God's voice. As long as you read the words of Almighty God, you will see God has appeared.

The sad thing is, most of it was megablox.

knowing that I couldn’t
made me realize that I can.
this time I’ll make it
I finished all the commissioned photos I had to edit that week and could cross out another thing on my to do list, which felt really good.
I spent too much time for my own good thinking about photos I haven’t taken yet.
and I had fun times with my friends. :)

Knowing that Holga 400 film was actually Fomapan 400, I was a little ehhh about shooting it. I've never been able to figure out Fomapan. I've gotten some really wondeful shots with it, but not purposely so. It's not like I thought "If I shoot Fomapan this way, I'll get these results."
Maybe it's as simple as over/under exposing it. Or using a specific developer (this was with HC-110). Maybe I just need a yellow filter to make it pop. Who knows? I certainly don't.
That said, I like how this looks. I liked how most of this roll looked. It was overcast. Maybe it's just a cloudy day emulsion.

Knowing that the former SAL signals are going to be replaced and that No 92 was ontime and the light was right we shot No 92 passing through Aberdeen.
Not knowing all the controls on your camera is foolish and I was feeling very foolish and frustrated having switched to Interval Timer on my XT2 by accident. Having no idea how I had done it or how to cancel it there was some cursing in the field as I took shots and realised this was some gimmick mode I would never use ordinarily. I found how to cancel it by moving the mode selector back one but not before taking what seems to be intended to allow double exposure. The colours were off but after some twiddling the result seemed pleasant if nothing like the reality I normally strive to capture. May be I will try this gimmick again and explore the 90% of my camera I do not know.

Thank you for all your wonderful support with my droplet shot yesterday as I really was having a moment of self doubt! Sometimes I look at shots and think are they good enough... and even think about taking them down after posting but maybe we are all the same like that? Enjoy the weekend:-)

Introduction
Worship God in Spirit and in Truth | A Cappella "The Result Achieved by Knowing God" |Gospel Music
One day,
you will feel that the Creator
is no longer a riddle,
that the Creator has never been hidden from you,
that the Creator
has never concealed His face from you,
that the Creator is not at all far from you,
that the Creator is no longer the One that you constantly long for in your thoughts but that you cannot reach with your feelings,
that He is really and truly standing guard to your left and right,
supplying your life, and controlling your destiny, controlling your destiny.
He is not on the remote horizon, nor has He secreted Himself high up in the clouds.
He is right by your side, presiding over your all,
He is everything that you have, and He is the only thing you have.
Such a God
allows you to love Him from the heart,
cling to Him, hold Him close, admire Him,
fear to lose Him,

That knowing look as i poked my camera through the open doorway. From my Sunday morning walk along 7th Ave, Ybor City.
Knowing that this overlook is somewhere on County Road 5 (thanks to the fellow photographer Jack Brauer), I have been researching on Google Earth and finally figured out exactly where it might be. Glad that I did the homework, since this is not exactly an obvious roadside vista.
Over the course of three days the Sneffle Ranges never showed up from behind the clouds until the last morning before I had to head back. Sharing this magnificent view (yet awfully quiet) with photographer David Brookover (who by the way owns an extremely nice gallery in Jackson Hole), we watched the clouds emerge from the vaporization of snow, and eventually block the mountains again. The light was harsher than I'd like, but that's probably the best I can take away given the short amount of time I could spare.
Stitched from 5 vertical shots each at around 46mm. The end result is about 35M pixels.
Canon 5D + EF 24-70mm f/2.8L. 46mm 1/6sec at f/18 with Grad ND 0.9, ISO100, tripod.
There are times when I wake up to the bird songs knowing I may have already missed a beautiful sunrise but with having nothing more serious to do than potter around the house and annoy my sleeping family with the noise of plates as I put the dried crockery away, I jump into my old battered Pajero regardless and just go.
I rarely have a plan and mostly go anywhere I haven't visited before or at least a place I don't remember visiting (which is becoming more often these days).
Today the rising sun shimmering across the mist filled valley below was just begging to be captured but somehow I just couldn't make the pieces fit. The only thing to do in these situations is to stop the car, turn off the engine and ask yourself what it is you're really enjoying that very moment...
