Made in Austria, I love these little brooms. Not sure if you can still find them around.

I know it would be better if the girl would move on from the sign. But lying on the floor i did not have a second chance;-) TGIF!
More of TGIF tunnels are in this set.
Weekly competition of the 366-1 group is a picture of something that starts with the first letter of my forename. While I could list 10 or more proper subjects on the top of my head that start with a "K" in German, I discovered that there are much less words in English with "K" as a first letter. ...Ketchup? A knife? How utterly exciting :-/
On top of everything, the weather is awful and I still don't have time to go out for a walk or to set up something. So here I (more or less) proudly present the kerbstone in front of our house --- and our neighbour's car. The very neighbour who will probably cross to the other side of the street next time we meet, after his car almost ran over me while I was kneeling in the gutter, focusing on some wet leaves. As my flickr friend sverremb said: a wide angle lens gives you a wrong perspective and things (waves as well as cars) coming towards you are closer than you might think :D

I took this low angle 'bug's' view of the Colosseum during my trip to Rome, Italy. Rome is such an amazing city!
Last Saturday some of the members of our Photography Group met up at the Savannas park. It's predominantly an open grassland with lots of Saw Palmettos and Slash pine trees. Here's a backlit low angle shot of some of those pine trees. We were back indoors before the sun got too harsh.
Puffins on a tiny island named Halfnarholmi, a few minutes away from a town named Borgarfjörður Eystri in the Eastern Fjords of Iceland. It's a beautiful little town, and the puffin watching is great, too!

Und zwar auf der kleinen Wiese direkt neben der Haustür.
Als ich mittags in der Küche stand und das Fenster geöffnet hatte, damit mir der Geruch vom Kochen nicht durch die ganze Wohnung zieht, habe ich die paar Pilze unten vor dem Haus auf der Wiese gesehen.
Nach dem Essen bin ich direkt mal runter, um die festzuhalten.

Standing at the base of these fluted monoliths, one cannot help but feel the crushing weight of history and the soaring ambition of the architects who sought to touch the heavens. The stark contrast of monochrome highlights every grain of stone, turning a civic structure into a silent, towering witness to the passage of time. When shooting monumental architecture, do you find that removing color helps to emphasize the structural soul, or do you prefer the realism of natural tones?
There was a beam of light from the setting sun shining on these flowers begging me to stop and photograph them. Nothing better than golden hour!

This is an East African land snail, photographed in Hawaii and now used for the Global Creative Photography Project's theme for this week: MACRO.
Before posing this shot I did a little research...
This East African land snail is known as one of the worst invasive species in the world. In recent times, the land snails have been kept as pets; however, they are now illegal to possess in many countries including the United States. Since arriving in Hawaii in 1936 from Japan this species has been a nuisance and a pest on many of the Hawaiian islands and numerous predators to the snail have been introduced to try and kill it off.
Apparently this strategy isn't working too well as this little guy was not alone where we found him at the Dole Plantation on Oahu.

There's no EXIF because this is one frame exported from a timelapse app, but it was taken with my iPhone 6s. (Here's the timelapse: flic.kr/p/Dutcv7)

Wagner - Die Walküre: "The Ride of the Valkyries" (Boulez)
I've had this rug for nearly 15 years. It's been through six moves and has always stayed in one piece. Tonight I was startled at this fact and decided to homage it a bit.
This was taken back in September at Venice during one of my more interesting trips there. The weather had just started shifting away from the hot, hazy, cloudless summer we had to what I guess is considered "autumn" in the Los Angeles area. The conditions were perfect, and at the time, really one of the first chances I had to shoot a cloudy sky in months. It was more enjoyable for that fact alone, but would've been great regardless since this place can never get boring to me, except on cloudless hazy days.
Venice has so many positive qualities for photography and oddly enough, the beach is far less crowded than you'd expect since it seems most people hover around the boardwalk and pier. Most of the time, I can just show up, go to one of the few areas I really like and shoot uninterrupted for as long as I want. It's very relaxing to spend a few hours in complete silence staring at the sea with just the sounds of the waves and the click of the shutter. Reflections, a flat, smooth shoreline, the pier, the houses along the boardwalk…all are exceptional and seemingly unique.
This place is also where I finally got a chance to shoot reflections and I have to say it's one of my favorite ways to shoot. Back around Maryland and Pennsylvania where I shot most often in the year leading up to the move to California, I primarily focused on slowly down the water with long and then longer exposures but these rivers, creeks and waterfalls didn't offer much for reflections. There are hardly any shorelines when standing by a little creek and I never realized what I was missing. In the earliest parts of my time here, I was focused on exploring and shooting Malibu Pier but it wasn't until I first came to Venice when reflections became a major focus for me.
This shot is a little darker than I wanted but I still really like the reflections and the smoothness from the long exposure. I've spent less time on long exposures because of the infrequent cloudy days and my goal was to get in as much as I could without wasting too much time. Of course now with the shorter sunsets starting around 5pm, I may still spend less time on long exposures, at least until the days are more consistently cloudy. This color and sky were amazing to see developing and then lingering, and without much wind, I shot a much longer exposure to get some sky blur and it allowed the waves to smooth out better. I spent most of the day and night on shorter shutter reflections and panoramas but I was definitely glad I didn't neglect long exposures entirely. My passion for photography really took off once I started to shoot long exposures and even though I'm shooting them less lately, I can't imagine that will last much much longer. It's just way too much fun.
