Summertime [George Gershwin]
Summertime
And the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’
And the cotton is high
Oh your daddy’s rich
And your mamma is good lookin’
So hush little baby
Don’t you cry
One of these mornings
You’re goin’ to rise up singin'
Then you’ll spread your wings
And you’ll take the sky
But till' that mornin'
There’s a nothin’ can harm you
With daddy and mammy
Standin’ by me

I bought a new stand to replace this old warhorse. The new one is 100 kg lighter and adjusting the camera head is 10 times easier. In the battle of feelings, the new one will be seriously inferior.

This is my simple(ish) solution to connecting the new Orbis (fantastic bit of kit) to your camera. I generally like to use a monopod anyway for steadying my shots, so I have combined it with the Orbis to give what I think is a fairly professional result.
The items used are a Manfrotto monopod (but could be any) an adjustable quick release head, a light stand to portable flash connector and a manfrotto super-clamp. The beauty of it is that it all fits together without any modifications. The above setup can also be used on a tripod.

“Siwan” connotes equilibrium.
The arrangement of elements in a composition to achieve visual equilibrium.
A perfect balance of physical forces such that when two or more forces act upon a body, the body remains at rest.
In geology, a balance between form and process, e.g., between the resistance of rocks along a river and the erosional force of the water.
“Like a sufi poetry and Christian mysticism of dark ages and burning inquisitions, a Sherpa across mountains of history”.
“Siwan is a musical imagination. The word Siwan is connected to the number three, triangular or equilibrium in various living and nonliving languages”.
One of ECM’s finest releases. Ever.
The weather has been so rubbish recently. Rain rain and more rain. I've been doing indoor light painting so it's good to get back outside. This was lit with 2 different colour lensers with a wire wool spin behind. It's 2 images one for the lensers and one for the wool stacked with no other manipulations.

Expo longue (211 secondes) sur le Vieux Château de l'île d'Yeu photographié depuis la Combe du Jars.
Il a été bâti au Moyen-Age sur un îlot de la côte sauvage et servait de refuge à la population. Tout au long de son histoire, l'île d'Yeu isolée en haute mer a en effet été visitée par des flottes ennemies qui venaient s'y ravitailler.
Assailli par la mer, le château se retrouve à marée haute isolé de la terre ferme.
On dit qu'il aurait inspiré Hergé pour son album l'Île Noire.

Thanks a lot for your views, comments and favs :-)
Lots of gear complicates things. So, to carry only one tripod on an outing with various lenses and subjects, I modified several items for one, do-it-all, tripod arrangement. The whole issue is around the concept of a 'gimble' and versatility. Gimbles are used basically for large, heavy lenses but I wanted this to be for 'everything'! This setup is a Promaster gimble mount to which I've added several things. The gimble allows 3 dimensional steady shooting and is good for heavy lenses, and I think it will be good for movies, too, as well as a general tripod. I modified a Manfrotto long lens cradle, and then attached a promaster ball camera mount to the platform of the Manfrotto item which I then attached to the gimble. Quick release mounts were used for the interface between gimble and mount and between mount and camera. I can get vertical and horizontal positions and everything in between. The Manfrotto modification was/is necessary to get the left-side camera body away from the upright portion of the gimble' upright. A separate piece could have been made but I converted The Manfrotto piece I already had. Elevating the camera allows the camera to turn on either on the ball head to which it is mounted, or, alternately, from the gimble control--2 ways depending on what you get used to or perhaps what you are shooting. My Nikon D810 will do movies. If I had an opportunity to capture movement in a smooth and professional fashion while taking stills, why not??? I do shoot one heavy telephoto, one about 7 lbs [old Questar 700], and everything in between down to 14-24mm wide angle and up to about 1200 mm telephoto. For me, and I'm still getting used to it, the smoothness of the gimble is pleasant, and it can be 'locked' into position, or loosened for a more steady flow on moving objects, again for longer lenses and movies. The Promaster gimble is very smooth in movement and is significantly less expensive than the name brands. Mine cost about $140 in Topeka, Kansas. Others are well above $500.
holding the manfrotto
monopod ..stealthily
she shot the dreamer
in conversation with god
complaining grumbling
pleading to change
the beggary of his life
give him a ticket to
freedom send him
abroad ..life here
a gamblers dice
rough shod,,,
god bored tired
shook his head
gave him a nod
the dreamer
silently overawed
i am happy i did
not have to use
the pepper spray
on you my lord
echo-less silence
insultingly guffawed
some things in his
parliament of dreams
god has outlawed

Whew, talk about suffering for your art! I stood in 35 below temperatures shooting long exposures of this abandoned farmhouse. The wind was whipping around me, and by the time I got back in the car, my ears and hands were burning with cold. But during this exposure I got some nicely dappled sunlight that highlighted the textures in the snow in the foreground along with a very wintry blue palette that effectively communicated what I wanted to capture here.

I will be heading to Zion National Park in July for a few days to hike and photograph The Narrows and go canyoneering in The Subway via the top down rout which includes a few short rappels. Planning gear for this trip has been a chalange and my previous gear post has been popular, so I am updating with a list of what I will be carrying for this trip.
Zion is known for its deep beautiful slot canyons filled with ice cold water and mysterious reflected light. Exploring these canyons is not an easy trek. The 16 mile 2 day trip through The Narrows has you literally walking through the Virgin River most of the time. Some sections are only a few feet wide with 1200+ ft walls on both sides requiring a few short swims. To keep my gear dry I will be carrying a few dry bags. The blue dry bag will carry the Mountainsmith Kit Cube with my camera and lens' inside during any technical spots in the canyon. The rest of the time I will be carrying the camera with a lens attached by my side in the orange dry bag. The blue bag, and all the other gear goes inside the yellow bag, and inside my backpack (double protection for photo gear). This should work and keep everything dry. Fingers crossed.
When heading into the backcountry with photography equipment every ounce counts. As I have upgraded my photo kit with faster, heavier lenses, I have decreased the weight of my backpacking gear with ultra light equipment to compensate. I'm pretty happy with this setup. But....If i were to change anything I would add a Gitzo Traveler Tripod with a RRS BH25 head, shaving off about a pound and a half; gaining a steadier base for the heavier lenses.
I will also be carying a Canon 40D (used to take this picture), a ND64 filter for silky waterfalls in daylight, and a remote release for long exposures in the dark canyons, as well as the hoods for all the lenses.
Everything here will be carried in a Osprey Exos 58. I used this pack on my last few trips and love it. It's super light for an internal frame pack and carries all my heavy photo gear very comfortably.
Off hand this setup should weigh in around 35lbs with food and water. Not to bad considering my original pack weighed about 20lbs more, with less gear. I'll update with proper weights when I get a chance.
See the notes for details.
In hindsight I should have covered the flashes with the cloth too (leaving enough space for the sigma to trigger) as you can make them out in the reflections. :-(
Interesting to see the temperature difference between the Sigma and the Canon speedlites. The Sigma is quite a bit cooler. Temp for this shot is 6700 +6 (as shot) - so the 5D3 is probably compensating for the Sigma. If I cool it to 5500 the Canon looks white and the Sigma is blue.

I was originally enrolled into the GETTY IMAGES collection as a contributor on April 9th 2012, and when links with FLICKR were terminated in March 2014, I was retained and fortunate enough to be signed up via a second contract, both of which have proved to be successful with sales of my photographs all over the world now handled exclusively by them.
On November 12th 2015 GETTY IMAGES unveiled plans for a new stills upload platform called ESP (Enterprise Submission Platform), to replace the existing 'Moment portal', and on November 13th I was invited to Beta test the new system prior to it being officially rolled out in December. (ESP went live on Tuesday December 15th 2015 and has smoothed out the upload process considerably).
With visits now in excess of 17.834 Million to my FLICKR site, used primarily these days as a fun platform to reach friends and family as I have now sold my professional gear and now take a more leisurely approach to my photographic exploits, I would like to say a huge and heartfelt 'THANK YOU' to FLICKR, GETTY IMAGES and everyone who drops by.

Photograph taken in the magic of the Golden Hour around sunrise at an altitude of Eight metres, at 06:58am on Sunday 21st September 2014 off 1st Street and Bevan Avenue in beautiful Sidney by the sea on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
Here, we are looking over towards Mt Baker in Washington State, USA from beautiful Sidney by the sea on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Also known as Koma Kulshan, (pronounced kō-ō’mah’ kool-shän’),she is an active glaciated andesitic stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington State in the United States, standing 3,286 metres tall and was first ascended in 1868, her last eruption recorded in 1880.
The name Mount Baker first appeared in print in Captain Vancouver’s 1798 narrative of his voyage around Vancouver Island. Legend has it that his third-lieutenant, Joseph Baker, was the first to spot the mountain while they sailed into Dungeness Bay on April 30th, 1792. Also known by the Lummi as Kwud-Shad, and Koba (meaning 'high mountain always covered with snow', was the Skagit name.

Le Bambole Mk. XI, -"The Pinsolette" Pinhole Camera
- 24mm focal length, 103º horizontal and vertical angle of view.
- 120 medium-format roll film. 6x6.
- Pinhole aperture approx. 0.20 mm, f/120.
My latest pinhole camera project is made from a 60-year old broken AGFA Isolette folding camera. I must say that it was one of the easiest pinhole conversions I've ever done. It's definitely a fun weekend project.
Besides being easy to do, I can see why a few of my fellow Flickr contacts have also done their own pinhole-folding camera conversions. The sturdy metal body of the Isolette and sure-footed film advance mechanism makes for a solid and dependable pinhole camera.
I especially like how compact it is for a 6x6 medium-format camera. The pinhole's 24mm focal length is very wide and the square-format appeals to me, too.
Many thanks to EY for giving me the busted camera. I'm sure I'll be running a lot of film through this camera now.
