I uploaded this a few years back and wanted to upload a larger version. One of the best mornings of photography I've ever had. During a winter camping trip in the Mt Hood national forest.
This image was created using my most current post processing workflow. I just finished producing an instructional video which I illustrate how I use the powerful tools and techniques available in Lightroom and Photoshop along with the TKActions V4 Panel to achieve an incredible level of control throughout my workflow.

Amicia and Hugo:
"Hugo! Where are you?"
"I'm here. I'm close."
"I can't see you! I'll do whatever it takes! I want... to see you."
"Are you sure?"
"You just keep on fighting! We tried that way, and it was a lie. It's not the right way; you know that."
"I don't know, Hugo!"
"It brought death, Amicia. And I brought death too! It's the mistake I made... and what I've become."
"I've seen you fight so many times. You still won't back down, will you, Amicia?"
"It's us or them! I have no choice!"
"You have a choice... but it scares you."
"We need to fix this Amicia!"
"We'll find a solution! I promise, Hugo!"
"You keep saying that. But there's only one solution now."
"You’re the only one who can stop me... from becoming a monster," Hugo said.
"You’re not a monster!"
"I will be…" replied the boy, "if I kill all I love."
Amicia learns what it is to sacrifice all she loves... and she kills her little brother who she loved so much, when he asks her to, because it was the only way to stop the Plague, or the Macula in the boy's blood would never cease killing... killing other people! And what was the life of one boy, to the lives of hundreds? What does the life of one child mean? And what does love mean? Did Amicia ever answer these questions?
And so Amicia slings the stone.
This is a collaboration between Joe (jnj_bricks) and I, built for the Labour of Love category of Brickscalibur. I haven't slept in a while so I should go to sleep now, but later you can see more of the terrain, more of the Rats' Nest, and maybe some behind the scenes. I'm really excited for this build! It looks awfully small, but I had to carry it down the stairs... and I know it weighed a lot! It's huge.
I have to mention that I was very inspired by Josh DeMoss's piece of music from the Symphony of Construction, I listened to it while I was building and it gave me the chills. And of course the music from A Plague Tale: Requiem. It was so beautiful, and touching, and deadly...
I have no words to describe A Plague Tale.
To God Be The Glory, and may you seek Him when you find yourself sad and troubled, like Amicia and Hugo, instead of getting lost...
I hope you like it!

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
Long exposure noise reduction enabled
Processed in Topaz DeNoise to knock the noise down a bit, and Nik Sharpener Efex Pro to sharpen it back up after the noise reduction (I love that combination for sharp/low noise images).

I spent some time this past summer trying to learn how better to secure images of pollinators of all kinds. That project was motivated by my sunrise walks down an abandoned road southeast of Ottawa, where overgrown wildflowers grew in thick and deep bunches on the sides of the road, and where butterflies and moths and bees and wasps spent the first light re-energizing for the new day.
The subjects of the photographs had a lot more freedom to drift away from the road to the wild meadows than I had - old fences and thick vegetation kept me pretty hemmed in. That meant having to get creative in most cases, which was part of learning how to manage the situation. I really liked this image, shot through a wall of vegetation to find the Skipper - not an especially exotic one for people who know these creatures - who was drinking from the wildflower.
This activity and the many early mornings it entailed was a response to the impact of the pandemic on birding and bird photography. Most of my usual places had not adjusted particularly well to the changed circumstances, and so the solitary mornings were just what the public health officials ordered.
I really hope everyone is safe and has a great holiday break. I now know people (healthcare workers) who are scheduled to be vaccinated shortly in Ottawa so things are slowly moving forward - please take care.
And many sincere thanks to the people who look at, like and/or comment on my images. I really appreciate the connection. I spend a lot of my free time looking at and learning from others, but this is an amazing community, and it offers a lot to me in different ways - especially with the superb images people are posting. So: many thanks, and stay safe.

Haven’t been out in the field much recently, so here is a picture from a few years back - a Fringe-lipped Bat - Trachops cirrhosis - from Chan Chich Lodge in Belize. It’s not a particularly interesting or compelling effort - but it turns out to be of at least minor importance.
By way of background, there are lots of environmentalists and scientists looking for images to illustrate their projects and flickr is an important searching ground. That’s one reason why I make a careful effort to title and tag my wildlife photos with as much data as possible.
In this case, a postdoctoral fellow in Central America needed a picture of Fringe-lipped Bat. In the last few days she was able to find in my photo stream the one I’ve put in the comments section below. On an off chance, she also asked via flickrmail if I had any images of this species showing an orange crust on its wings. The article she is writing concerns this component of the species’s physiology - apparently something related to its mating habits.
I didn’t recall any such thing, but did take a look through my Lightroom catalog. Sure enough, I found the above image from the same photoshoot. When I processed it and forwarded it to the researcher, she was ecstatic. Her joy in having an image perfect for her purposes gave me a nice feeling as well.
Used my Nikon D3200 with a Nikon 18-200mm lens at 200mm.
The graininess is due to me, used shutter priority at 3200 but didn't take into consideration that the camera would boost the ISO due to faster shutter speed, live and learn.
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

I was working on two of my photographic projects, then Carnival arrived, I put aside what I had done up until then, and so I created this group of photographs; they are shots taken during the Carnival which took place in Taormina center (Taormina alta) and in Trappitello (fraction of Taormina, the plain part of Taormina, located towards the hinterland; there is also Taormina seaside, but this part is not was affected by the Carnival). Carnival, from a photographic point of view, has always interested me not for its allegorical floats, not for its beautiful or refined masks, but for the people who find themselves "behind the masks", for their emotions, the their ability to have fun, to uninhibit themselves, even in front of the camera. I photographed a detail of the float dedicated to the mayor of Taormina, Cateno De Luca, I photographed boys and girls from the masked groups who paraded through the city streets, as well as boys and girls not belonging to any group, who had fun with clothes invented for the 'occasion; despite having placed heterogeneous photographs, I mostly followed a theme that refers to a work by Andy Warhol, an iconic figure of Pop Art as well as being one of the most important artists of the 20th century, ideally linking myself for its creation to the allegorical float of Pop Art of Taormina.
I conclude, I dedicate this work to the flicker-friend White Angel, hoping to please her.

Stavo lavorando a due miei progetti fotografici, poi è arrivato il Carnevale, ho messo da parte quanto avevo fino ad allora fatto, ed ho così realizzato questo gruppo di fotografie; sono scatti realizzati durante il Carnevale che si è svolto a Taormina centro (Taormina alta) ed a Trappitello (frazione di Taormina, la parte in pianura di Taormina, sita verso l’entroterra; c’è anche Taormina mare, ma questa parte non è stata interessata dal Carnevale). Il Carnevale, dal punto di vista fotografico, mi ha sempre interessato non per i suoi carri allegorici, non per le sue maschere belle o ricercate che siano, ma per le persone che si trovano “dietro le maschere”, per le loro emozioni, la loro capacità di divertirsi, di disinibirsi, anche davanti la macchina fotografica. Ho fotografato un dettaglio del carro dedicato al sindaco di Taormina, Cateno De Luca, ho fotografato ragazzi e ragazze dei gruppi in maschera che sfilavano per le vie cittadine, come ragazzi e ragazze non appartenenti a nessun gruppo, che si divertivano con vestiti inventati per l’occasione; pur avendo messo fotografie eterogenee, ho seguito maggiormente un tema che fa riferimento ad un lavoro di Andy Warhol, figura iconica della Pop Art oltre che essere uno dei più importanti artisti del XX secolo, agganciandomi idealmente per la sua realizzazione, al carro allegorico della Pop Art di Taormina.
Concludo, dedico questo lavoro alla flicker-friend White Angel, sperando di farle cosa gradita.

solo performance by Principal Trumpet Michael Fedyshyn, accompanied by pianist Monique De Margerie.
Each day brings chances to grow, learn, help, and serve. It is gratitude that brings these opportunities into focus.
"As we grow up,
we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down...probably will.
You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time.
You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
You'll fight with your best friend.
You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.
You'll cry because time is passing too fast
and you'll eventually lose someone you love.
So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you have never been hurt
because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
Don’t be afraid that your life will end,
be afraid that it will never begin."

Carnivorous plants are plants that derive some or most of their nutrients (but not energy) from trapping and consuming animals or protozoans, typically insects and other arthropods. Carnivorous plants appear adapted to grow in places where the soil is thin or poor in nutrients, especially nitrogen, such as acidic bogs and rock outcroppings. Charles Darwin wrote Insectivorous Plants, the first well-known treatise on carnivorous plants, in 1875. (Wikipedia)
Young monks in Bhutanese monasteries learn to play the dungchen, or Tibetan horn, as part of traditional music and dance programs, along with subjects like Buddhist philosophy and meditation. This long brass or copper trumpet is an important instrument in Tibetan culture, and is typically played in pairs with one horn playing a drone while the other plays the melody. The dungchen is used in Tibetan Buddhist ceremonies and rituals, and is believed to have spiritual and ceremonial significance. It is often used in processions and other religious events, as well as in secular music. The sound of the horn is powerful and is said to be able to reach great distances, used to call the attention of deities during religious ceremonies.
By learning to play the dungchen, young monks help to preserve Bhutanese cultural heritage and prepare to serve their communities. This picture was taken at Paro Dzong, the administrative seat of Paro district in Bhutan, where the instrument is displayed as part of the Dzong's treasured collection – Paro, Bhutan
