A print from a few months ago that I hadn't uploaded yet. Recently, I lacked both the time and energy to do much of any darkroom work. There's still so much film to be processed and so many negatives to be printed...

Immer wieder führt die Leichlinger Obstroute an üppigen Wiesen mit vielen Obstbäumen vorbei. Das hohe Gras verhindert, dass der Boden nach Regenfällen zu schnell austrocknet, was den Obstbäumen natürlich zu Gute kommt. Auf eine zusätzliche künstliche Bewässerung kann so weitestgehend verzichtet werden.

The Leichlingen fruit route repeatedly leads past lush meadows with many fruit trees. The tall grass prevents the soil from drying out too quickly after rainfall, which of course benefits the fruit trees. This means that additional artificial irrigation can be largely avoided.

While cooking breakfast I noticed the jagged membrane of my egg. I also shot a portion of an amethyst geode but felt that this was perfectly jagged.
Vuelvo al macro con energias renovadas. He recuperado por un precio irrisorio un duplicador macro Foca hr7 que me convierte el 50mm 1.8 en un 100mm 2.8 con macro 1:1
Esto es una primera prueba para ver si funciona y ni mucho menos es 1:1. Creo que incluso es de mejor calidad que el que tenia vivitar. Por 25 lereles :-)
Creo que el próximo articulo del fotoblog lo documentaré. Darme una semana y subiré un analisis del parato. Lo encontrareis aquí: xd-nova-imatge-disseny.blogspot.com/
I exposed this piece of film over ten years ago. I scanned it over ten years ago. I left it unedited in my folder of images to process for those ten years, only recently getting to it and processing and finishing it up. Start to finish = 1 decade. I have other exposures on this roll, some of which I scanned and processed and even posted to Flickr way back then. It is interesting to compare this image to those earlier specimens of my work, or my aesthetic. There has definitely been an evolution.
I have been dwelling on the concept of time in art, or the creation of art, lately. As you may or may not know of me, I love my podcasts and I love history. I was recently turned onto a new one, Giants of History, and they have a wonderful series on Leonardo Da Vinci. There are many amazing and captivating stories to tell about Leonardo but did you know that it took him between 3-4 years to paint the Mona Lisa? Or about the same amount of time to paint The Last Supper (and he still never really finished it). Say what you will about Leonardo as a procrastinator, which he did famously, but the idea that you will put so much time into one task to produce one product. Michelangelo took about three years to paint the Sistine Chapel, by the way. Photography is different than painting though, right? Or is it? Is the difference perhaps not in photography but our culture and our rush? Gregory Crewdson comes to mind. He can take months to plan, scout, set up and photography one of his surreal and cinematic scenes. I know there are other photographers out there that invest significant amounts of time in the creation of one image, solargraphers know what I am talking about. I cannot help but wonder if more of us would benefit from moving much, much slower. I know that in the tiny ways I have slowed down, getting into pinhole photography for example, I have benefited a great deal.
And I think most of this comes from how much thought and care we can invest with all that extra time.
This is not a guarantee of success of course and I don't think the fact that this image percolated along for ten years makes it a masterpiece of any type or another. I do like the photo and I like this version better than those earlier versions and I do think it is better off for that time in between.... I think I am better off for it too.
Anyway, just thoughts.

Ishiyama-dera "Stony Mountain Temple"
Ishiyama-dera (石山寺, "Stony Mountain Temple") is a Shingon temple in Ōtsu in Japan's Shiga Prefecture. This temple is the thirteenth of the Kansai Kannon Pilgrimage
It was constructed around 747 CE, and is said to have been founded by Rōben. The temple contains a number of cultural assets. The temple possesses two fragments of manuscripts of the Records of the Grand Historian (Shiji 史記), the first of China's 24 dynastic histories, which are the only known extant fragments that pre-date the Tang dynasty (618–907). According to literature available at the temple complex, the guardian carvings at Sanmon/Todaimon are by Tankei and Unkei. Allegedly, Murasaki Shikibu began writing The Tale of Genji at Ishiyama-dera during a full moon night in August 1004. In commemoration, the temple maintains a Genji room featuring a life-size figure of Lady Murasaki and displays a statue in her honor.
The temple features as "The Autumn Moon at Ishiyama" (石山の秋月 Ishiyama no Shūgetsu) in the Eight Views of Ōmi thematic series in art and literature; examples include ukiyo-e prints by Harunobu in the 18th century and Hiroshige in the 19th century. -wikipedia

2 Handheld exposures stacked together with a reversed 28mm lens in my garden in Holland.
Oui, je sais, c'est horrible!La nature est parfois cruelle!Mais après une petite recherche, c'est fort intéressant cette histoire;)EN gros, j'ai trouvé hier cette pauvre mouche.Une mouche morte en train de se cristalliser.Visiblement parasitée par un champignon portant le joli nom de Entomophthora muscae.Ce champignon parasite les mouches, "force" la mouche à aller se percher sur un point en hauteur, à écarter les ailes puis il la tue en lachant les spores, spores qui grâce à ce stratagème ont une chance de dispersion maximale. Affreux non?La nature est incroyable et parfois cruelle.
En voulant tourner ensuite la fleur, le corps est parti...Ne laissant plus que la tête.
Le champignon tueur est utilisé comme insecticide naturel.
