With some of these odd images, I thought I would write a little vignette of imagination . . . or not. :) So check it out in the first comment and maybe there is a story! Or maybe not. :)
Knowing we would be photographing abandoned buildings in an old mining town, I thought it would be fun to try my second hand tilt-shift lens. Well, there is quite a bit to learn about how to use a Tilt-Shift lens. We did not have much time to fiddle with learning new lenses so I worked with in 2-3 locations and quickly decided to use my wide angle for the sunrise and sunset shots on the next day.
In this shot, I managed to focus on the near doorframe with the intent of creating a focal plane extended to the fourth door frame. You will notice the right side of the 2nd frame is not sharp but the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th frames are decently sharp.
Interested in comments comparing this photo to the focus stacked image. Both shots were taken at sunset. However, this shot has more sun streaming into the windows creating a warmer light which is quite nice.
Knowing this bird was a Woodpecker, I judged its features compared to all of the adult birds in the overall family that I know to be regular, if not common, up here. This is one of only a few juvenile male Williamson's Sapsucker that I have ever imaged... or even IDed up here. The clinching field marks are the all black back and the yellow belly. It's quite advanced, but still lacks the red throat. At this time of year I concentrate on juvie images... the young birds change so fast, and quality images are lacking in the usual reference sources. ( I welcome comments and/or corrections to these IDs.) The female Williamson's juvie had been captured in prior years... it's so distinctive that its ID is pretty straightforward. It looks a lot like its largely dissimilar (to the males) Mom.

Mostly out of curiosity, I downloaded the Reddit app and signed up. Much of what's on there makes me cringe or shake my head, but I've been spending time at their Photoshop subreddit. I've been learning some things as I look at what folks have submitted for critique. Composite photo montages are extremely popular there. Something many submitters ask is how to make an element blend better into the scene. Commonalities seem to be not paying attention to light sources, and not knowing much about shadows.
That prompted me to set up some things and shoot photos at various times of day to study contact shadows and cast shadows. This is one of the shots.
Mannequin's right foot is off the ground so there isn't a contact shadow there, but there are at the other foot and where parts of its body contact the ball and where the ball contacts the shelf.
I thought at first this would be a simple set up, but then I noticed that there is light reflected from the shelf upward onto the ball and mannequin, from the ball to the mannequin and from the mannequin to the ball.
New Mexico is a strange place for shadows. We're so high in elevation that in direct sunlight, shadows here don't behave the same as at lower elevations. The edges are more crisp. There isn't the same fall-off of density as the shadow gets farther from that which is casting it.
I had to shoot this photo before the sunlight directly hit the shelf in order to see the gradations of density.
Painters study light and shadows, but rarely do photographers. And if folks are going to be trying for photorealistic montage, they also need to know about light and shadows. As a result of these shadow study photos, back at Reddit I've been recommending that the compositors set up an action figure (all of them are guys in their teens and twenties it seems) and a desk lamp to see the directions that shadows are cast from a source and the gradations of density between contact and cast shadows and within cast shadows.

Un grido
Perché gridasti al fagiano? Lui si intrufolò nell'erica
volava radente come un soffice sofà dorato
divenne bersaglio facile per la facile scarica
colpa del grido d'amore lacerante che l'ha spaurito
ora rimane l'errore piume insanguinate silenzio.
Non si grida a fagiani né a rondini nemmeno a rospi
di fronte allo strazio ignaro occorre non aprire bocca
chi grida contro l'oscuro provoca il riso dell'ospite
il sangue scivola sulle penne iridescenti le invecchia
il male si creda salvo immerso nel nostro silenzio.
Toti Scialoja
Poesie 1961 - 1998
Un ricordo di gioventù, quando si andava a disturbare la caccia in Friuli. I fagiani nascosti fra i cespugli, se qualcuno di noi si avvicinava troppo per lo spavento scappavano e non possono fare a meno di fare rumore, hanno un bellissimo suono, ma si rendono ancora più evidenti ai cacciatori. Ora chi va a disturbare la caccia riesce anche a catturarli a mano, tanto difficile è far del male a questi animali che la Natura ha dotato di un bellissimo vestito. (A proposito, per i Nativi Americani, morire è "lasciare il vestito").
Toti Scialoja poeta da conoscere meglio, perché immergersi nella poesia aiuta a digerire la vita.
A memory of youth, when we went to disturb hunting in Friuli. The pheasants hidden in the bushes, if any of us got too close, would run away in fear and can't help but make noise, they have a beautiful sound, but they make themselves even more evident to the hunters. Now those who go to disturb the hunt can also capture them by hand, it is so difficult to harm these animals that Nature has endowed with a beautiful dress. (By the way, for Native Americans, dying is "leaving the dress").
Toti Scialoja, a poet worth knowing better, because immersing yourself in poetry helps you digest life.
But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us. Romans 5:8 (AMP)
I have wanted to do one of these types of images for a long time, but I couldn't ever get my camera to focus on what is was suppose to. Now with my new lens, it's opened up so many more possibilities. Spring really needs to hurry and get here now!

Introduction
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."
I think on some level, you do your best things when you're a little off-balance, a little scared. You've got to work from mystery, from wonder, from not knowing.

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. It was great to see such a warm smile and reaction to my lens in the midst of chaotic Christmas shoppers. Enjoy!
Knowing this hummer had flown into the underbrush, I kept looking until I had spotted it. Fortunately it was actually visible, although in heavy foliage and shade.

Christian Music Video | "True Faith Comes Only From Knowing God"
God’s work now is to speak, no more signs, nor wonders.
It’s not the Age of Grace. God is normal and real.
In the last days He’s not the supernatural Jesus,
but a practical God in flesh, no different from man.
So man’s belief in God is because of His many works, words and deeds.
Yes, it is God’s utterance that conquers and perfects man.
Signs and wonders aren’t the root of their faith.
Yes, it’s God’s deeds that make man know Him.
In every age God reveals different dispositions,
a different part of His deeds.
But they all, still give a deeper knowledge of Him,
a more down-to-earth and true belief in God.
So man’s belief in God is because of His many works, words and deeds.
Yes, it is God’s utterance that conquers and perfects man.
Signs and wonders aren’t the root of their faith.
Yes, it’s God’s deeds that make man know Him.

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.

I rambled a bit on Don's Blog. Since it took us 10 months to make it happen, I figured it deserved to be posted twice, so I posted it on AvatarStyle too.
Knowing her, she's probably got 2 in the bush, or tree, or somewhere. I think this one of the female is my favorite of all of the Peregrine shots.

Knowing that this beautiful and picturesque Gothic style church is surrounded by magnolia trees and daffodils we took a walk here on Easter Sunday. The spring blooms, weather, and of course, this glorious church building empty of church goers but full of divine inspiration and presence, didn't disappoint!
Hope and Spring are alive!

Knowing that I have a fear of heights, my husband gets a kick out of my reaction when he gets too close to the edge of a cliff. There was ample opportunity for that as we hiked the Grand View trail in Canyonlands National Park in Utah. But I got over it and took the shot -- he does give good scale to the scene afterall!

"Knowing God Is the Path to Fearing God and Shunning Evil"
Almighty God says, "'Fearing God and shunning evil' and knowing God are indivisibly connected by a myriad threads, and the connection between them is self-evident. If one wishes to attain to shunning evil, one must first have real fear of God; if one wishes to attain to real fear of God, one must first have real knowledge of God; if one wishes to attain to knowledge of God, one must first experience God's words, enter into the reality of God's words, experience God's chastening and discipline, His chastisement and judgment; if one wishes to experience God's words, one must first come face to face with God's words, come face to face with God, and ask God to furnish opportunities to experience God's words in the form of all sorts of environments involving people, events, and objects; if one wishes to come face to face with God and with God's words, one must first possess a simple and honest heart, readiness to accept the truth, the will to endure suffering, the resolution and the courage to shun evil, and the aspiration to become a genuine created being…. In this way, going forward step by step, you will draw ever closer to God, your heart will grow ever more pure, and your life and the value of being alive will, along with your knowledge of God, become ever more meaningful and wax ever more radiant. Until, 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. 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, and be unwilling to renounce Him any longer, disobey Him any longer, or any longer to evade Him or put Him at a distance. All you want is to care for Him, obey Him, requite all that He gives you, and submit to His dominion. You no longer refuse to be guided, supplied, watched over, and kept by Him, no longer refuse what He dictates and ordains for you. All you want is to follow Him, walk alongside Him to His left or right, all you want is to accept Him as your one and only life, to accept Him as your one and only Lord, your one and only God" (The Word Appears in the Flesh).

Knowing a thunderstorm was passing by, I rushed out my home trying tofind a good view location but in vain. Upon returning home disappointedly I found my balcony was the best position where I set up camera and waited patiently for these fierce lightning.
Knowing that a second consecutive day of wall to wall sunshine was forecast for Thursday, and knowing that 68007 should be on the first stone train out of Sellafield Up Siding, I formulated a plan to phot' it working 6C11, the 07.07 to Drigg LLWR loaded stone.
Once that plan was formulated I ran it up the flagpole to Dave McDigital. The theory fluttered in the breeze for him so we arranged to meet early doors at Seascale Golf Club.
This would mean getting out of bed at the crack of dawn in order to beat the ridiculous daily Sellafield workers' commuter jams, but I figured it would be worth it.
The train almost invariably runs some 15 minutes early (occasionally more) but with sunrise forecast at 05.45 I was sure we'd be OK.
Even with a swing into Sellafield to check that 68007 would be first out, I was still an hour and a half early arriving at Seascale, with Dave already there.
I hadn't done a shot at Seascale for some considerable time, and as we began our walk to the location at 06.15 I became aware that the local topography might cause some issues with allowing the low sun to the tracks.
The shadow line was on the beach at the shoreline and I spent the next half an hour with one eye on that slowly moving shadow line and the other gawping through my 200mm lens every 30 seconds watching Sellafield's "up" starter whilst praying that the train would run to time for once.
When that signal was pegged "off" at 06.48 the shadows were still on the "up" line.
Fortunately, being loaded, the train took a few minutes to get going and reach us and I kid you not that the shadows fully cleared the line at exactly the same time as the train hoved into view.
Squeaky bum time for sure, but for once taking a punt paid off.

My first upload since my 365, and I am happy to be doing so! Every day I wake up knowing I don't have to stress to find a photo. It's nice, but I also really miss that little extra push to scrounge for inspiration. This morning my tea was very pretty and the steam was gorgeous so I thought it deserved a photo.
Have a great weekend, everyone :)
This scene lies on an ancient coffin route (see below), knowing this I sensed that these trees must have seen many a procession of mourners, and the trees themselves are like a guard of honour to the recently deceased.
During medieval times in the UK there were only a few churches had burial rights allowing their parishioners to bury their loved ones, in holy ground. This often meant long treks with the deceased to ensure a proper Christian burial. These journeys were often, as the case here, not made over the easiest of grounds. This particular route in my local town traverses over a 300mtr high hill, steep in parts, and runs for over 4 miles to reach the tiny chapel of St Mahews in the village of Cardross.
