The sand which cast the termites out
Marked the drag of a scaly myth,
Trailing into thick, low tangle
'A pangolin! A pangolin!'
We cried,
Jolting at its heels!
Plated like a Legion Soldier
It rolled up tight into a ball.
While spearing eyes poke the armour
For face, for nose, or eye!
But special secrets will keep low
When lingering shadows cast their teeth
So dropping
down as if to lie
Breathing...
Ceasing...
Laying low to softly pry,
I draw a little telling eye.

When photographing this building in La Grande Motte, I sought to extract a pure graphic composition from its characteristic architecture. Post-processing in black and white allowed me to sculpt the contrasts to emphasize the rhythm of the arches and the geometry of the facade. The low-angle view creates an upward dynamic, and the dark sky reinforces the visual impact of the composition. My intention was to transcend the documentary aspect to create a graphic image where the repetition of forms and the interplay of lines become an architectural abstraction.

Bison Yard's primary industry job C87 shoves a few tank cars into the outside track at PVS Chemical, sporting a slug set as blue hour fades away.
Compared to CSX, NS only has a small fraction of customers in the Buffalo area. PVS is one of their most regular customers, seeing service up to three times a week on any of M/W/F. However, C87 is for the most part a daylight job, typically being able to be shot in daylight for the duration of their shift. The exception to this is or course the early winter time when daylight comes at a premium. With a public road right outside the plant, it's a very easy shot to obtain. Located near CP Draw on the Ebenezer Runner, there's usually plenty of traffic passing by on CSX adjacent to where they're working.
I've shot this place numerous times in daylight, so I made it a goal of mine to try for a night shot here while the shorter days permitted it. Often times you won't find these guys here later than 7:00 p.m., and that's on a day with delays out the wazoo. Most days they'll make it here before 5:00 though, which is why a night shot is a little less common here. With 5:00 p.m. being the eight hour mark for their shift, it's almost guaranteed if they're here around that time, they'll stick around to make sure they cross that threshold, which worked in my favor on this particular evening.
A low-angle view of a sticker-covered pedestrian signal box and utility pole stretches toward a brilliant midday sun, transforming everyday urban infrastructure into a striking study of perspective, texture, and light. I don't advise pointing your camera at the sun. I was using a filter for this shot.
I photograph this tree often. In fact, whenever I drive by this place, I stop and make a photograph. Even when I don't have an appropriate camera. Of special note for this photo, I forgot that I had switched my camera to back-button focus, so it's a miracle that this one is in focus. All of the photos before this one on the day were out of focus. It wasn't until the wildflowers that I realized my mistake (because I couldn't get focus confirmation from the camera).

A partir de la droite :
- n°10 : la « Maison de l'Arbre d'Or » ou « Maison des Brasseurs » (Den Gulden Boom ou De Brouwershuis en néerlandais) est une maison de style baroque, construite en 1696, entre la « Maison du Cygne » et la « Maison de la Rose ». Elle fut la maison de la corporation des tanneurs, puis celle des tapissiers, avant de devenir la maison de la corporation des brasseurs. Ornée de sculptures par Marc de Vos et Pierre van Dievoet. Lors de la construction de cette demeure, l’architecte Guillaume de Bruyn prononça la phrase célèbre : « Vous avez eu la conscience de travailler pour l'éternité ! ». Cette maison est surmontée par la statue équestre de Charles Alexandre de Lorraine qui fut installée en 1752 en remplacement de celle de Maximilien-Emmanuel de Bavière gouverneur lors de la reconstruction de Bruxelles.
- n°11 : la « Maison de la Rose » (De Roose en néerlandais) est une maison de style baroque construite en 1702 et restaurée en 1901, entre la « Maison de l'Arbre d'Or » et la « Maison du Mont Thabor ».
-n°12 : la « Maison du Mont Thabor » (Den Bergh Thabor en néerlandais) est une maison de style baroque construite en 1699 et restaurée en 1885, entre la « Maison de la Rose » et la rue des Chapeliers, au sud de la place.
sur la gauche :
- n°13 (avec sa statue en bas à gauche), fait partie d'un ensemble de 7 maisons, dit Maison des Ducs de Brabant, regroupées derrière une même façade monumentale dessinée par Guillaume de Bruyn et modifiée en 1770, appelée ainsi à cause des bustes de ducs de Brabant qui l'ornent. Restaurée entre 1881 et 1890. Le numéro 13 porte le nom de "La Renommée", du nom de sa statue.
- n°12A (vers la rue des Chapeliers) : la « Maison du Roi de Bavière » (néerlandais : Koning van Beieren), parfois appelée « Maison d'Alsemberg », est une maison de style baroque située au no 12A de la Grand-Place de Bruxelles et aux numéros 2-4 de la rue des Chapeliers, à droite de la « Maison des Ducs de Brabant ».

their faces and a denser stripe-pattern than other tigers.
This was actually a vertical shot but when looking at it in post, I wanted to change the composition and so I cropped it horizontal. I don't know why, but I like this photo for some reason. It has a vibe, it feels warm. Its different.
Seems that I’ve been messing around with low down low light shots again… and I do like a cobble or two.

Some tourists are more interested in taking their selfie, than taking a photo of the bulb fields or the tulips below.
Just look at the woman dressed in blue (right in the middle ) standing on the platform of the mill at the Keukenhof, one of the largest and famous flower gardens in the world. In 1957, the Holland-America Line bought the mill and donated it to Keukenhof.

Happy Fence Thursday too :-)
When I posted my photo titled "Have A Seat" (www.flickr.com/photos/jesspictures/22514965165/) (bottom left here) I wrote a long description of all the work that went into it, and I mentioned I would post some behind the scenes stuff later. So, here it is.
The right side shows how I had to move around the chairs and carefully frame the shot to avoid all the construction surrounding it. I liked the low perspective for its own sake but it also helped hide the construction. In the end I still photoshopped out the edge of a tractor at the very edge of the photo.
The left side shows the professing that went into the final photo. I used my camera's built-in HDR mode, which takes three exposures and blends them. It also saves one single exposure at the same time. So the left side shows the single exposure, the HDR from the camera which has a better range of light and dark with the backlit scene, and then the final version where I did some processing to emphasize the colors and make the chairs pop. I feel like the final version looks more like what I saw in person, since the human eye can handle the lights and darks better than the camera, and the bright beautiful colors is what drew me to the scene in the first place.
Camera: Sony Nex 5T
Software: Snapseed on iPad, Photoshop Elements on computer (to clone out the edge of the tractor).
