Leaf shutter, flash, inbuilt ND filter - a glorious combination. Warning: do not let technology distract you from the subject matter!
Once again craning from a perch aboard the ferry home, this time has me viewing from the port side. The sun is brilliant, overhead and I am witness to a powerful opportunity. There is very little color so a B&W photo becomes the goal. At its peak, the cloud is incredibly white, while the island in its depths, is in shadow and almost black. The contrast is wonderful and makes for a very dynamic result.
The shape too adds to the overall energy of the image. A triangle is a very strong shape in photography, and this moment cooperates in form. I am not concerned with depth, but instead both shape and contrast. And, as good fortune would have it, the grey sky delivers the ideal palette.
My Partner and I have been together for 19 Years and decided to make it legal and official today....I am now known as Mrs Janet Cartwright ..
I caught these two eagles screaming at each other. I have no idea what their problem was.
I have observed some basic principles about healthy marriages throughout the last six decades. Nearly every married couple is eager to get advice about their marriage, especially when their marriage is fresh and young. As the years go by, the eagerness wanes for most.
However, here's one thing I have learned: married couples need to know how to get their point across to their mate. Sometimes couples will pray about problems, some will do research and present their viewpoint logically while others just wing it and hope for the best.
But I have noticed that the most effective couples have one of the partners who knows how to couple emotional attachment to their argument and simply go head to head and let it rip.
A successful marriage requires
falling in love many times,
always with the same person.

Laced amongst the 1.3 billion people of China, 56 ethnic minority groups make their home in various provinces across the country. One of the largest of these minorities, with a population of over 7 million people, is the Miao people located in the mountainous region of South West China. As the Miao spread out across this region throughout history, numerous tribes evolved out of the main clan and adopted variations on customs and culture. These now distinct tribes became known by the unique characteristics of their clothing and decorations and were named accordingly.
One particular tribe, centred on the village of Longga, is the Changjiao Miao. Changjiao or “Long Horns”, when directly translated, reflects the custom of animal horns being worn as head ornaments by tribe women for special occasions. It was only recently, in 1994, with the building of the highway to Longga, that these beautiful people and their culture have been revealed to the world.
Cloth and costumes are important instruments in shaping the identity of the individual clans or tribes and expressing their unique characteristics. These minority communities weave their histories through these intricate fabrics, reflecting their relationship with the environment and uniqueness of the cultural make-up of the clan.
The application of the carefully combined colours and intricate embroidery to the fabric provides the group with an outlet to express feelings and emotions. Women learn to make batik and embroider from an early age and achieve their social status in this fashion. The girl who can weave and embroider special patterns is seen to be hard working and extraordinarily intelligent and she will become the most sought after bride in the community.
On special occasions and during festivals, the women construct an elaborate headpiece utilizing the clan’s namesake long horn. These horns are first fixed to the women’s real hair, then a highly structured decorative bun of linen, wool and ancestral hair are wrapped in a figure eight around the horn. The hair is then secured to the horn by a geometric white ribbon. This headdress, together with the native costumes, composes the standard attire for festival season.
The Miao celebrate multiple festivals throughout the year. One of the most popular with the youth is the Flower Dancing Festival between the 4th and 14th day of the first lunar month. This time of year is dedicated to the single youngsters in the community in order to gather and look for their life long partners. The girls ascend on the village in groups where they dance and sing in antiphonal style entertaining the boys from other villages. Once a boy and a girl become attracted to each other, a presentation of gifts signals the engagement.
Getting to the actual marriage is a much more elaborate affair, with the groom’s family having to convince the bride’s that he is worthy and will provide for her in the years to come. Endless proposals follow endless refusals and months of bargaining ensue. Finally, when the girl’s family is happy with the betrothal gifts, they are free to get married or if an agreement is not met, the groom’s family may signal the couple to run off and elope.
Unlike western society, divorce does not involve drawn out court battles and asset wars. If a couple falls out of love, they need only give notice to the tribal seniors and are then seen as “on the market” again.
“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person”
Marriage statistics are disheartening to look at.
Half of marriages end in divorce. It's a fact, but it isn't the full reality. The statistics don't even take "seperations" into account. A lot of people are legally married and yet no longer together. It just costs too much money for the lawyer fees and they don't want to deal with the hassle. I know 3 couples that are in that situation.
So MORE than half of marriages fail.
Yet people are getting married every day even though the odds are clearly against them succeeding.
Why is that?
I guess it's for the same reason Eric and I got married. We want to believe that we're going to be the small percentage bracket that makes it to the end. The old couple on the park bench holding hands and gazing into eachother's sagging watery eyes still with the love and passion that we feel today.
I really believe we will. You can chalk it up to youthful idealism, but thats how I feel in my heart. I look forward to growing old with Eric.
I found these Tiny dolls in a small box of knick knacks I unpacked today. I'm not sure where they came from! I used them to test out the macro function on my Nikon.
It's hard to ignore how they both look a little afraid and uneasy.
Lisa Ray has made some interesting and successful acting decisions. Her big break came in 2002 when she snagged the role of an escort hired as a bride-to-be for a playboy millionaire in Deepa Mehta's 'Bollywood/Hollywood.' After 'Bollywood/Hollywood,' she went on to Jafri's 'Arrangement,' a U.S.-British co-venture about arranged Indian marriages; and Kiran Merchant's 'Quarter Life Crisis,' a portrait of twenty-somethings adrift in New York's singles scene. She recently starred in 'The World Unseen'. It's an adaptation of Shamim Sarif's critically-acclaimed debut novel.

A marriage of state is a diplomatic marriage or union between two members of different nation-states or internally, between two power blocs, usually in authoritarian societies and is a practice which dates back to ancient times, as far back as early Grecian cultures in western society, and of similar antiquity in other civilizations. A Marriage of State often involved surrendering a female member of a ruling line to gain peace or shore up alliances of state between nation-states headed by small oligarchies or acknowledged royalty. -- Courtesy Wikipedia
marriage is uniting two different characters ...
although sometimes it hurts ..
but it's happy

On MARRIAGE
Then Almitra spoke again and said, And
what of Marriage, master?
And he answered saying:
You were born together, and together you
shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white
wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the
silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance
between you.
Love one another, but make not a bond
of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between
the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup but drink not from
one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat
not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous,
but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone
though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each
other’s keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain
your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near
together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow
not in each other’s shadow.

Love is ...
Feelings that must be present for each human being,
it is like a drop of dew coming down from the sky, clean and holy.
Only the land is the one who accepts it ...
If he falls into a barren land, grow because dew is lawlessness, lying, deceitful, stepped up and so on.
But if he falls to fertile land, there will grow purity of heart, sincerity, faithful high manners and other praiseworthy behaviors .

Love is not teaching us is weak, but it generates strength. Love is not teaching us to humiliate ourselves, but to breathe pride. Love is not discouraging, but it encourages -

Love never asked, he always gave, love brought suffering, but never vengeful, never took revenge. Where there is love there is life; when hatred leads to destruction.

"Marriage is not a noun; it's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do. It's the way you love your partner every day." -Barbara De Angelis
OK, it's been done before. I get that. But it's also a compositional idea that appears simple and one I wanted to try for myself. With today a write-off through rain, I decided to give it a whack.
Two hours later I finally got the shot I envisaged, with the assistance of the kitchen bench, a black shirt, a torch, a tissue to muffle the torchlight, a ring, an old book by Balzac (the source of the title), a wireless remote, tripod, a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III and a Canon EF 85mm f1.2L II lens.
Please type "L" for a much better view.
The amendment of marriage law in Taiwan to meet Marriage Equality is getting volcano hot in past 2 weeks. The homophobic 'churches' that count less than 4% of the population are play extra dirtier since the chances of passing the bill is quite high.

I have just returned home from Cyprus after the marriage of my daughter Sarah to my new son-law-law Tim and I managed to find time to capture a sunset at this beautiful Mediterranean location.
This image was taken from the rocky coastline close to Ayia Napa and is dedicated to my beautiful daughter Sarah & her handsome husband Tim!
1/250 second exposure using a Lee 0.9 ND grad filter.
Thanks for any comments you may wish to leave.
This Marriage Scene is on the front of a Roman Sarcophagus (circa 150-200 AD).
Museo Civico Archeologico, Orvieto; March 2017
After yesterday's misanthropic view on love -- my rather cruel and unusual picture "Divorce" -- I today return to my roots: The cliché.
(Update: When done reading this, have a look at my "Marriage Revisited" photo as well)
This photo is yet another attempt to follow the #TwPhCh group (Twitter Photo Challenge) here on Flickr. This week's challenge is "rundt" which is norwegian for both round/circular and around.
Here I've used all the cliché's possible: Love, circle of life, the bible, etc. The Bible is even open at the end of chapter 13 of Paul's letter to the Corinthians. You know the quote: "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love" (1 Corinthians 13:13).
But even so: It's a beautiful quote, and I cannot help but feel that the combination of elements looks rather good. Even though we all have seen these kinds of pictures before.
Technical data:
Shot with a cheap 70-300 mm tele zoom with 1:2 macro capabilites. That lens is pleasantly soft.
A flash is place a couple of meters behind and a meter above the ring, pointing down towards the book. The distance is big enough to create harsh shadows. The flash was gelled with a CTO filter to emulate sunset light.
ISO 100, manual exposure, 1/60 and f/8.0. TTL on flash, no compensation. The external flash was triggered by a flash on camera. No flash output from the on-camera flash. I actually thought the sunset effect was too obvious after processing the picture, so I desaturated the picture just a little in Photoshop Elements before uploading it here.
BTW: The ring's the same as on yesterday's picture. But I think the ring likes to model for this picture better than the last :-)
Update: The day after posting this I reached #273 on Explore (May 25), reached #111 the day after that and #57 on day three. Best after that: #50. It's been fun following this development; I think I've learned something about the Interestingness algorithm along the way. Anyway, thanks to everyone who has commented this picture and favorited it.
Update 2: I got third place in this week's Twitter Photo Challenge with this picture. Thanks to everyone who voted for my picture.
Environment and Development: Marriage or Divorce
The relationship of mankind to the environment can be portrayed since the ancient years, where mankind tried to control the external surroundings. And have the full control of the materials needed for the benefit of progress, and the sake of prosperity as well as development in ones pattern of life. Over the ages and years, the human found himself caught in a dilemma of achievements that surrounded him by all sides.
Those achievements can be prosperous yet caused an individual a lot of pressure, one in which he did never faced in the old, ancient times. Technology, for example, can be considered as a modern mean of communication that one can use, and it can successfully bring him closer to other people from all over the world. However, technology does fill one’s lung with polluted air; making him more vulnerable to diseases and epidemics. In this scene, an individual benefiting from the development, can find himself in a new battle. A battle whose core is to control the consequences of this development, and reducing its effects by taking several important actions that include the preservation of the environment.
Caption of this picture
The image shows the link between technological progress and the environment, through aesthetic combination between the rose (daughter of the environment) with her bright and beautiful colors. And the bulb of light which represents the growth of technological developments (son of the technology). Summarizing all that in one sentence, 'Together they make a bright future'
How I took this shot
I used a black matt background. A studio light with an aperture of 25 exposed directly to the subject from the top. A studio light exposed with an aperture of 10 from the left side, and another one from the right side. Used CS2 to only edit the contrast other than that the image is 100% original.
This project isn't done yet, To be continued in my next post,
