Foo Fighters - Learn To Fly
With a funny video from the Foo Fighters.
After the removal of my cataract in my right eye I had to improvise so I could see my computer. Popped the right lens out of my computer glasses allows me to be able to see what the heck I am doing.
Right now, I still need the computer RX for the left eye but hopefully soon the left eye will have the cataract removed that is just starting. My ophthalmologist said I could wait years to have it removed and, although this work around is okay as I can see my computer now with my right eye just great I am thinking it's time to ditch the glasses.
I appreciate each and every visit, comment and fave here on my little corner of Flickr. Have a super day!

So, I was at the beach yesterday and this is my first jump shot :) Nice weather makes me feel happy!!
Riding a bike is the best way to get up into Zion Canyon to photograph the Milky Way. The road is closed off to private vehicles except during the winter months. A few days ago I went in and photographed the Milky Way from Angel's Landing. I was pretty motivated to get up there quickly and managed to ride from Canyon Junction and hike up Angel's Landing in a little over an hour. On my way back, I thought it would be neat to show how I got up there, so I stopped along the road and took this shot. This is a single image exposure with the Sony A7r II. Learn how to take and post-process night shots like these on our August Milky Way workshop. We still have a few spots left!

Shortly after visiting and photographing the Bamboo Forest at dawn, the sky began to be covered with clouds. I had left the visit to Kinkaku-ji for the last day, hoping to get a picture of this magnificent building with the rays of the sun illuminating its golden facade. Bearing in mind that the temple opens at 9am and closes at 5pm, there was no possibility to photograph it at sunrise or sunset. I do not usually publish photographs taken in broad daylight, but the Golden Pavilion is one of my favorite buildings in the world and I always wanted to have it in my portfolio.
When I arrived at the temple the sky was still covered with clouds, the weather predicted the possibility of sun during the afternoon, I only had to place the tripod and wait, but ... tripods are prohibited, so a couple of guards were in charge of control that nobody used them and that the dozens and dozens of people looking for their selfie did not occupied totally the best place to see the temple. When I saw such a situation, I opted for a slightly different composition from one side, I could place the tripod in front of me and cover it with my body, the crowd around me helped to make me go unnoticed. After much waiting the sun leaked for a very short time and I was able to get the photograph that you see. Shortly afterwards one of the guards noticed it and invited me to remove the tripod. Despite the adversities I got my picture and the sun did not come out again with the same intensity. The golden glow of the pavilion was fleeting, and perhaps that made me appreciate it even more.

"Aprendemos poco con la victoria, en cambio, mucho con la derrota." Proverbio Japonés.
Poco después de visitar y fotografiar el Bosque de Bambú al amanecer, el cielo empezó a cubrirse de nubes. Había dejado la visita a Kinkaku-ji para el último día, con la esperanza de conseguir una foto de este magnífico edificio con los rayos del sol iluminando su dorada fachada. Teniendo en cuenta que el templo abre a las 9 y cierra a las 17.00, no había posibilidad de fotografiarlo al amanecer o al atardecer. No suelo publicar fotografías realizadas en pleno día, pero el Pabellón Dorado es uno de mis edificios favoritos del mundo y siempre había querido tenerlo en mi portafolio.
Cuando llegué al templo el cielo seguía cubierto de nubes. La predicción del tiempo anunciaba posibilidad de sol durante la tarde, solo quedaba colocar el trípode y esperar, pero... los trípodes están prohibidos, por lo que un par de guardias se encargaban de controlar que nadie los usara y que las decenas y decenas de personas buscando su selfie no se agolparan en el mejor sitio. Al ver semejante panorama opté por una composición un poco diferente desde un lateral, pude colocar el trípode delante mía y cubrirlo con mi cuerpo, la muchedumbre que me rodeaba ayudaba a hacerme pasar desapercibido. Después de mucho esperar, el sol se filtró durante poquísimo tiempo y pude conseguir la fotografía que veis. Poco después uno de los guardias se percató y me invitó a guardar el trípode. A pesar de las adversidades conseguí mi foto y además el sol no volvió a salir con la misma intensidad. El brillo dorado del pabellón fue fugaz, y quizás eso me hizo apreciarlo todavía más.

Interesting Wild Turkey Facts
‧ The Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) and the Muscovy Duck are the only two domesticated birds native to the New World.
‧ In the early 1500s, European explorers brought home Wild Turkeys from Mexico, where native people had domesticated the birds centuries earlier. Turkeys quickly became popular on European menus thanks to their large size and rich taste from their diet of wild nuts. Later, when English colonists settled on the Atlantic Coast, they brought domesticated turkeys with them.
‧ The English name of the bird may be a holdover from early shipping routes that passed through the country of Turkey on their way to delivering the birds to European markets.
‧ Male Wild Turkeys provide no parental care. Newly hatched chicks follow the female, who feeds them for a few days until they learn to find food on their own. As the chicks grow, they band into groups composed of several hens and their broods. Winter groups sometimes exceed 200 turkeys.
‧ As Wild Turkey numbers dwindled through the early twentieth century, people began to look for ways to reintroduce this valuable game bird. Initially they tried releasing farm turkeys into the wild but those birds didn’t survive. In the 1940s, people began catching wild birds and transporting them to other areas. Such transplantations allowed Wild Turkeys to spread to all of the lower 48 states (plus Hawaii) and parts of southern Canada.
‧ Because of their large size, compact bones, and long-standing popularity as a dinner item, turkeys have a better known fossil record than most other birds. Turkey fossils have been unearthed across the southern United States and Mexico, some of them dating from thousands of years ago.
‧ When they need to, Turkeys can swim by tucking their wings in close, spreading their tails, and kicking.

Juvi made an perfect landing, fun to watch them struggling as they learn to ly and then land. Plenty of time for them to hone these skills.
I always learn something when taking photos. Even though I have taken tens of thousands of them, I still manage to learn something pretty much every shutter click.
Tonight, I learned that to get the most amazing lunar eclipse photos, you need a motorized tracker that can match the earth's rotation.
So, without one of those devices, I had to bump up the ISO a ton, and bring the shutter speed higher than I really wanted.
But I still got a cool memory. This was right at peak (9:48 pm).
Some stats:
ISO 3200
1s shutter speed
f/6.3
Lens at 400mm
Image stabilization turned off
Shutter release
Shooting from live view so no lens movement at all

I was in cyprus last week for a few days to catch up with family and had the opportunity to go out at night to do a bit of astrophotography. This was my first attempt at photographing Andromeda Galaxy - our nearest galactic neighbour. I still got a lot to learn in this area, but for now I am happy with the results!
I am participating in this weekend Mad Pea Celebrity Auction to help raise funds to complete a school classroom for Live and Learn in Africa. There are lots of other lots to bid on too – 62 in total from the very generous residents of Second Life who are putting their time on the block to help raise money.
I am offering a custom one of a kind photo to the winner, it can be either a portrait or a conceptual piece along with their choice of 10 pictures from my in-world gallery (or from my flickr if its not in my gallery).
Hope you can stop by this weekend, the auction ends tomorrow at 8PM.

You learn something every day :) I was watching some ducks on a lagoon and paying no attention to a robin who kept going to the edge of the lagoon, catching some insects (I thought).
Things weren' t going my way
I was feeling down all the time
You held me through the pain
Stood by me in the rain
So today I'm free
Feeling fine all the time
Don't have to wait and see
We're on a one way dream
Like the clouds I'm flying and I'm...
And now I' m flying high above the sky
And it' s all because of you
I got a feeling in my heart
My life can really start
And it' s all because of you
