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.
*Working Towards a Better World
Peace is the marriage of the people and the planet, with all attendant vows. - Anonymous
Peace comes from being able to contribute the best that we have, and all that we are, toward creating a world that supports everyone. But it is also securing the space for others to contribute the best that they have and all that they are. - Hafsat Abiola
In some ways, the challenges are even more daunting than they were at the peak of the cold war. Not only do we continue to face grave nuclear threats, but those threats are being compounded by new weapons developments, new violence within States and new challenges to the rule of law. -
Kofi Annan
There is no time left for anything but to make peacework a dimension of our every waking activity. - Elise Boulding
Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding. - Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
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.
Marriages are long cumbersome tiring and very expensive affair in Pakistan... but boy are they fun !
“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.
Love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother, you can't have one without the other.

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 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
Not sure what kind of person would make a marriage proposal in graffiti on an abandoned grain elevator. Perhaps it is the kind of person who would add "Let us be Wild and Free".

Autumn Marriage, Autumn Love
A poem by Richard Hemenway
This year the Fall has seemed to linger long
Upon the earth and in the balmy air,
Like the singer who so loves their song
That they sing on though there be none to share.
The leaves are changing slow in subtle tints,
The grass is in no hurry to turn brown,
The night air whispers just the smallest hints
That we will soon be seeking wool and down.
So should we make our time together last
Having less than most husbands and wives:
Celebrating, after mistakes done and past,
Our marriage in the autumn of our lives.
Though every Season must, in time, give way,
We'll reap a long Love's Harvest while we may.

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,

Today is my anniversary, and I always wanted to do this, so this is my project 365 photo for today. I know it's been done before (plenty of times), but I had to do it.
The customs and traditions so distinct and pure,
I hope you will contemplate the beauty for sure :)

I generally try to keep politics out of my Lego hobby, but let me be absolutely clear. You're welcome to your own opinions, but if one of those opinions is opposition to marriage equality, I'm not interested in hearing it here. Tonight is a night of celebration and joy for millions of people who are now just a little more equal than they were yesterday.
Bigoted comments will be deleted. Particularly offensive ones will result in a block.
Have a great night, and Play Well.
