when I was a child I asked my mum to teach me how to knit. Then I quickly forgot. A few years ago I used the internet to teach myself once more.
that not-at-all-good feeling when you discover an error that requires taking the needles out and unraveling half of your work so far. but such is learning…

As Norfolk Southern continues to slowly but surely replace the vintage CPLs which are still left here in Virginia, particularly in the Shenandoah Valley, it was time to stop making excuses, and prioritize shooting them. A buddy joined me for 2 days of a wild mission shooting sunrise to last light. Having already shot Pkin, we opted to go for Vesuvius upon learning that 11Z was coming our way. The storm clouds were rolling in, and the shadows were getting long, as we nervously awaited 11Z's arrival. As they rolled through, we were treated to absolutely spectacular late afternoon lighting in this legendary location. Fans of O. Winston Link may recall he shot a few of his scenes here in Vesuvius, Virginia, and it is today just as beautiful, rural, and peaceful as it was back in the days of N&W steam railroading. I will be back out trackside soon no doubt, but without any pretense of being owed any luck. The train Gods owe me nothing.
“I’m sure the man is becoming slower and more uncertain with every occasion he has to use that picture taking thingy with three legs.” Said Posh Bear smiling as he watched the picture taker set up.
“Yes, Posh, it will be a relief when I don’t do this ever again.” Said Sky.
“Are you going to refuse then, Sky, when he does this next time?” Asked Barnaby in awe.
“No, Barnaby, but I probably won’t be here. I have been talking to Ellie and she was telling me that I should get myself “edicated”. So, that is what I might just do.”
“I think you mean educated, Sky.” Said Posh Bear.
“That as well, I think. I want to be so clever that I can talk to the buzzy things.”
“Anyone can talk to the buzzy things, Sky, it is just a shame they don’t seem to understand what bears say.” Added Bertie, yawning at the thought of all that learning.
“How do you think you are going to do that, Sky? I mean, learn things like talking to buzzy things.” Asked Barnaby.
“It is very easy actually, Barnaby, you just need to know where to go and what sort of things you want to learn.”
“Interesting, so, where do you go, Sky?”
“Ellie says it is a big place lots of walks away and is called a universal, I think, and there you can get all the leans that you want.”
“Wowsers, Sky, that sounds very good. So, you only need to ask them for learns on buzzy things and they give them to you and you come back edicated?” said Barnaby.
“Not quite, Barnaby, but very close. Ellie was saying that this place has lots and lots of learns, so whatever you wanted to learn you just press one of those buttons the man has on his picture viewing thingy and all the learns you want come tumbling down before you. I think.”
“Wowsers and double Wowsers, Sky, that sounds amazing.” Said Bertie getting excited.
“Doesn’t it just.” Replied Posh Bear smiling.
“What do you do with all these learns once you have them, Sky? I mean you can’t just carry them around with you in a bag and if you did, well, how you would find the one you need when you wanted it?” Asked Barnaby scratching his head with his paw. “And, how would you know what you needed if you didn’t know what the learn was about in the first place?”
“Simple, Barnaby, when I get the learns about buzzy things, I’ll also look for a button thingy that shows one how to store them and find them again. These places don’t just have learns about buzzy things; you know?”
“You’re so clever, Sky, I wish I was clever like you.” Said Barnaby full of admiration of his best friend.
“Thank you, Barnaby, and soon I’ll be even more cleverer and then ever cleverer still on top of that.”
“Sky, it doesn’t quite work out like that. I think that Ellie got it slightly wrong.” Said Posh Bear softly.
“What do you mean, Posh? Ellie said she knew.” Replied Sky looking slightly worried.
“The places are called Universities and are for hoomans, not us bears. Also, hoomans are taught what they wish to know by other hoomans called professors who in turn were taught all they know many sleeps before. It isn’t instant, these things take lots and lots of sleeps and is often a total waste of time, because after all that learning the hooman doesn’t put it to use.”
“So, how do us bears get learns, so we can be clever?” Asked Barnaby.
“We use life to learn things, Barnaby, like Sky just now for he has learned a big lesson in who to learn from. Elephants are very clever at elephant things but they don’t understand bear things. If you want to know bear things then you should always ask an older bear.”
Sky looked sad as he thought about what Posh had said but then he quickly brightened up.
“Posh, as an old bear, can you teach me how to speak with the buzzy things please?”
“No Sky, but I can tell you this, watch the buzzy things and learn what they do and then we’ll all be the wiser for what you learn. In the meantime, everyone should try and smile and then we can share that big jar of honey that I have put by, for after the man is finished.”
“Think honey.” Whispered Sky to Bertie and Barnaby and they both forced a smile.
UK designer Thomas Heatherwick masterpiece at Nanyang Technology University in Singapore.
Resembling a cluster of elongated bee hives, the Learning Hub at Nanyang Technology University explores new ways of teaching at a time when computers and the internet are challenging the rationale of learning institutions.
The hub’s form is dictated by its function, and brings together 55 tutorial rooms into a structure without conventional corridors, which have traditionally created social separation and isolation. The learning hub has no one door, it is porous. Students can enter from 360 degrees around into a large central space which links all the separate towers together. Each tower is made up of a stack of classrooms which build up gradually, with gardens on selected floors.*

Taken with a tilt shift camera to control the vertical distortion, 3 images were stitched together. The 2 students at the bottom of the image forms a focal point in an otherwise empty space.

I'm not even sure what this building is or does...
It might make power.

Learning to shoot landscapes w the easiest subject you can find here in WI using a 7D Mark II (cropped sensor) and B+W XS Pro circular polarizing filter to "make the clouds pop" even on a "cheepo" but solid EF-S10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM lens. All of these shots ("WI Big Skies") are taken w the camera's built in HDR function set to "Auto" EV bracketing and processed in Lightroom 6.1 to bring out shadows and light. I welcome any suggestions for improving my methods and technique.
Thank you for taking the time to visit, comment, fave or invite. I really appreciate them all.

taken on 7/7/06 at the santa monica pier... 1.5 years later than the learning to fly lomos... i chase birds... i admit it... as anyone who has attempted this will know, getting this close to a seagull with an sx-70 is not easy... usually i would have bribed him with food... but i was empty handed on this day... this proximity is the result of a patient approach...

Miss Lily has seen many snowmen on flickr and wondered about them so we started by reading this book. Miss Lily thinks the snowman here looks a lot like Aunt Owwee's man They both like bright hats.

PHEW! I'm so glad to get this blog post finished and into the great wide world before the weekend truly begins!
Though I'm still new to the process of taking green screen pictures, I think this one turned out all right! Read a bit more about it on the blog if you like. Full credits, as always, included. FOR FREE!

Gar nicht so einfach, daher auch nicht ganz scharf ...

Have you ever driven past a really nice location and then hours later, you get home and you realize you dont remember where you saw that fantastic spot? Thats what happened with this park. I found it last winter and ever since have wondered where the heck it was. Over the weekend, I was out and about and suddenly
found myself at this park..........again.
I walked around and enjoyed the scenery and snapped a few photos and when I got back to my car, I locked in the location on my GPS.

Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween. Enjoy the upcoming 1st week of November :-)
