I have been in a rather dark mood here recently. And during this week, I was listening to the music that I have a link to above on Youtube. I find Secession Studios music to be so emotional...And it brought to my mind a particular statue that I have in SL. So then I was frantically rummaging through my SL inventory....and once I found "Lady of Death"-- I quickly rezzed her... and this is what my mind saw.....
For an image, the term monochrome is usually taken to mean the same as black-and-white or, more likely, grayscale, but may also be used to refer to other combinations containing only tones of a single color, such as green-and-white or green-and-black. It may also refer to sepia displaying tones from light tan to dark brown or cyanotype (“blueprint”) images, and early photographic methods such as Ambrotype, Tintype and Daguerreotype, each of which may be used to produce a monochromatic image.

Dipper:-
A dipper with it’s chick waiting to be fed, hidden away at the foot of the waterfalls.
A short-tailed plump bird with a low whirring flight. When perched on a rock it habitually bobs up and down and frequently cocks its tail. Its white throat and breast contrasts with its dark body plumage. It is remarkable in its method of walking into and under water in search of food.

Blakeney is a little nearby conservation area where the river breaks up into distributaries before re-forming again. It's very rocky and the water is quite fast flowing.
I experimented once again with a faux long exposure. I took 4 photos and blended them in Photoshop to create a bit of a long exposure look.
I guessed that I only needed 4 photos to create the look that I was after whereas I had used 20 here in a previous post. I seem to have guessed right in both cases. It would seem to depend on how fast the water is moving in the first place.
I explain the method in that other post if you're interested: flic.kr/p/TKobtA

This is one beautiful place. The calm river flowing, birds chirping around and the bells from wonderful churches around ! Great architecture. Did'nt get much time to dig around.
I used a different method for processing this time. Took 2 exposures and tuned them in lightroom - 1 for lower temperature to get the sky right and the second for the light on the buildings - warmer temp. Tuned a couple more exposures for the bridge and clouds. Brought them into CS3 and Vertorama'ed /Layer masked them together.
Les renards sont des créatures solitaires qui vivent souvent seuls ou en couple pendant la saison des amours. Ils se nourrissent principalement de fruits, de baies, d'insectes et de petits vertébrés comme les souris et les lapins. Pendant l'hiver, les renards peuvent également se nourrir de charognes lorsqu'il n'y a pas assez de nourriture disponible.
La plus célèbre est le mulotage. Une méthode où il détecte un rongeur et, après s’être immobilisé, saute d’un coup précis pour l’attraper. Ce bond spectaculaire, qu’il apprend dès son jeune âge en observant les adultes, est particulièrement efficace sous la neige ou dans la végétation dense.
Methods of PP techniques have been varied for each image in this Hastings series hopefully making them individually more appealing.

How's about a great big red HMM kiss. The lip colour is Loreal True Red. Used the reversed mount ring method with my 50 mm lens.
Most often my method is a simple attention to God combined with a general sense of hunger for God. I find myself often attached to God with the great sweetness and delight of an infant at the mother's breast. I hesitate to use the expression, but the inexpressible sweetness which I taste and experience there is as if I were at the bosom of God at all times. Sometimes my thoughts wander away from God by necessity or infirmity. But soon an inner desire brings me back to God. This inward yearning is so delightful and delicious that I am ashamed to describe it.

"Can I come home for the summer?
I could slow down for a little while
Get back to loving each other
Leave all those long and lonesome miles behind"

Caught this awesome lightning bolt while I was chasing thunderstorms with my girlfriend.
So I finally have my lightning shot, I always wanted to capture one. I tried various methods, from long exposure (example 30 seconds) to shorter (2.5 seconds) consecutive shots. This one came out really well on 2.5 seconds exposure. I set the ISO at 400, although I've seen many photographers shoot them at 200, my shots looked greater at 400.
This was shot behind the Sanctuaire du Cap facing the Fleuve St-Laurent, Trois-Rivières, Quebec, Canada.
Thanks to everyone for the EXPLORE !
Shot in late summer, in Infrared, using a 665nm Infrared filter inside my camera.

I decided to test cooking breakfast off the back of my truck for when I go on hikes in Colorado in a couple weeks. A toasted croissant is a great way to start any hike!
These had sat in my freezer for a full year, waiting on just the perfectly frigid day, Brought them out on the coldest day last winter to shoot in the backyard. A single stamen and petals, in an 11-image focus stack, on tripod, using Helicon Focus (Method A, Radius17, Smoothing7)
PLEASE: Do not post any comment graphics, they will be deleted. See info in my bio.
I was happy to finish this piece. The method is called "thread painting" and I can see many more projects using it to applied appliqué pieces.

Straight from Central Cats-ing? :-)
At first, I honestly thought this cat was simply a cardboard cutout and couldn't believe my luck when I saw he/she was real and not just part of the decorations, ha ha. And only on zooming in to crop, did I see 'that look' :-) I wonder if he/she is on contract to sit just like that for the next 3 weeks - being paid in yummy crunchies by the looks of it :-)
(Slight pun re 'lucky' timing, since I've personally always thought a black cat brings GOOD luck not bad.)
Griffon vultures have been used as model organisms for the study of soaring and thermoregulation. The energy costs of level flight tend to be high, prompting alternatives to flapping in larger birds. Vultures in particular utilize more efficient flying methods such as soaring. Compared to other birds, which elevate their metabolic rate to upwards of 16 times their basal metabolic rate in flight, soaring griffon vultures expend about 1.43 times their basal metabolic rate in flight. Griffon vultures are also efficient flyers in their ability to return to a resting heart rate after flight within ten minutes.
As large scavengers, griffon vultures have not been observed to seek shelter for thermoregulation. Vultures use their bald heads as a means to thermoregulate in both extreme cold and hot temperatures. Changes in posture can increase bare skin exposure from 7% to 32%. This change allows for the more than doubling of convective heat loss in still air. Griffon vultures have also been found to tolerate increased body temperatures as a response to high ambient temperatures. By allowing their internal body temperature to change independently of their metabolic rate, griffon vultures minimize their loss of water and energy in thermoregulating. One study in particular (Bahat 1995) found that these adaptations have allowed the Griffon vulture to have one of the widest thermal neutral zones of any bird.
It declined markedly throughout the 19th–20th centuries in much of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, mainly due to direct persecution and "bycatch" from the poisoned carcasses set for livestock predators (Snow and Perrins 1998, Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001, Orta et al. 2015). In some areas a reduction in available food supplies, arising from changes in livestock management practices, also had an impact (Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001, Orta et al. 2015). It is very highly vulnerable to the effects of potential wind energy development (Strix 2012) and electrocution has been identified as a threat (Global Raptors Information Network 2015). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used for veterinary purposes pose a threat to this species. One case of suspected poisoning caused by flunixin, an NSAID, was recorded in this species in 2012 in Spain (Zorrilla et al. 2015). Diclofenac, a similar NSAID, has caused severe declines in Gyps vulture species across Asia.

/ POOR ENGLISH
Macro 1X by focus stacking using the focus ring control
How do you can do it :
Ingredients:
-Nikon D600 + 105mm macro nikor 1X
-Helicon Remote control for automatic focus stack using the camera focus ring (using USB)
-Helicon Soft Focus Stacking (36 shots, Method B, R = 4, S = 2)
-Helicon You can download a free trial for 1 month, or a license for a year for € 50, it controls almost many Nikon and Canon via USB. There are other suppliers of soft for stacking, p. ex. Zerene, ControlMyNikon or Canon, Combine Z, etc.
-optional: 3D (Up Plus 2) printer to manufacture light bulbs, brackets, desk, etc. You can use the friendly 123D Design (free soft) for pieces designing.
Recipe:
-Ilumination with 4 or 5 micro-LED bulbs. The lighters can be designed and printed using a 3D printer and then mount the LED´s (high brightness and 5300K), the power is 12VDC for groups of 3 or 4 LEDs. The advantage over use of flash, is that you can positioning the lights and lighting make up before shooting, in addition to the volume to be achieved by playing with these lighting.
-Shot photographs using, p. eg Helicon Remote. Helicon controls the approach to the movement of the focus ring before the photo shot, the whole process of taking pictures is automatic, you can watch videos on youtube
-For 1X do you needed 20-100 photos, depending on value of f, focal and deep of field needed, automatically calculated by the soft. Often used the sweet spot of the lens (usually in the vicinity of f5.6) to optimize results
-Now we stack of shots using Helicon Soft
-We can use Lightroom or the like to remove "halos" and "artifacts"
-Once you have practice, the whole process can take 15 min
-And sorry my English, please.

oh hey. i'm on rituals now. cargocollective.com/rituals
there's a ton of wonderful photographers on here so i'm pretty excited.
After finding Adamson's calotype method didn't permit much time between coating and developing when it was warm here, I decided to try Arsène Pélegry's method as modified by Rick Lanning. Aside from some speckles (my fault) it worked a treat. It's 2 stops slower than Adamson's method and perhaps more expensive, but the negatives just might last long enough to take on a trip - that would be wonderful.
Plus it seems to work well right up to the edge. I had problems with my Adamson's negatives where the varying ratios of chemicals - plus my fingerprints - would cause a lot of crap near the borders.

India, Kerala or Kēraḷam, Backwaters.
Shore operated lift fishing nets are a type of stationary lift nets, commonly known in India as "Chinese fishing nets", each installation is operated by a team of 4 to 6 fishermen.
In India they are mostly found in Kerala’s Backwaters & coastal areas around the cities of Kollam & Kochi, where they became besides for fishing also a tourist attraction & a beloved photo motive.
This for India unusual fishing method is almost unique to the area of Kerala,
This fishing method was introduced by Chinese explorers who landed there in the 14th century. One assumption of the city name Kochi is “co-chin”, the interpretation is meaning “like China”
The scenery of the Kerala Backwaters with the orange glimmering light of the sunset at dusk,
a vivacious day descends to the shadow & the calm of the night, punctuated at times by the screeching of birds.
📌….unique backwaters are a network of interconnected five large lakes linked by canals, both manmade, fed by 38 rivers & brackish lagoons extending nearly half the length of Kerala state. A labyrinthine system formed by almost 1.000 km of waterways lying parallel to the Arabian Sea coast, known as the “Malabar Coast”.
The backwaters have an exceptional ecosystem; freshwater from the rivers meets the seawater from the Arabian Sea, formed by the action of waves & shore currents creating low barrier islands across the mouths of the many rivers flowing down from the Western Ghats range.
A Thannermukkom Salt Water Barrier, preventing salt water from the sea is entering the deep inside, keeping the fresh water intact. Such fresh water is extensively used for irrigation purposes.
Numerous unique aquatic species including mudskippers, crabs, frogs, water birds such as kingfishers, darters, terns, darters & cormorants, animals like otters & turtles live in the backwaters area. Palm trees, pandanus bushes & other leafy plants grow alongside the backwaters, providing a green shade to the surrounding landscape.

China, Shanghai, Xitang, a traditional fishing method in rivers is cormorant fishing in which fishermen use trained cormorants. A noose is tied near the base of the bird's throat to control the birds, they can swallow smaller fish, but it prevents the birds from swallowing larger fish, which are held in their throat.
Has a cormorant caught a fish in its throat, the fisherman brings the bird back to the boat & has the bird spit the fish up. Even so the ones in China & Japan successful cormorant fishing industry, today's purpose of cormorant fishing is primary an attraction to entertain tourists.
Xitang is one of the ancient water towns in the Yangtze Delta area in the north of Jiashan County, located about 140 km southwest of Shanghai. The town stretches across eight sections, linked by 104 historic stone bridges. In the older parts of town, the well-preserved buildings with "patina" are set along the banks of the canals, which serve as the main transportation thoroughfares in the area.
Entry fee about 10 € p/p, if you stay in one of the charming boutique hotels, they will reimburse you 50% of the entrance fee.
In the Xitang Water Village, there are well-preserved groups of buildings of the Ming Dynasty, 1368-1644 & the Qing Dynasty, 1644-1911, with relatively high artistic quality & research value. The village is famous for its large number of covered corridors, lanes & bridges.
Its history dates back to at least the spring & autumn period, 770 BC–476 BC, when it was located at the border of the State of Yue & Wu. According to legend, Wu Zixu, a well-known scholar & military general, ordered to dig many canals & a pond to facilitate water transportation & to channel water to Jiashan County, therefore Xitang is also called "Xutang".
In the Xitang Water Town, people who live there are not rich, so no newer modern houses have been built there. That's maybe one of the reasons why the old constructions are preserved as a whole almost without damage. In those archaic houses, besides the culture & value of the houses themselves, there are also displays of cultural relics or woodcarvings or eaves tiles collected by the house owner. To this day there are exhibitions of the ancient rare books of the owners passed down from generation to generation or rubbings from a stone inscription of a famous calligrapher.
On the roofs of some old houses here, the grass is about "one chi" tall, 33 cm ++, believing that the spirit of the former owner of the house joins with the grass, making it flourish & blessing the peace and durability of the house, as well as the prosperity of the entire town.
The "Mission Impossible III", 2005, movie featuring Tom Cruise scenes speeding with a bike over the roofs in Xitang, was leading to a boom of Xitang's popularity among tourists.
Because of the rainy climate, common ceilinged corridors have been created bordering the waterways. Each family roofs the stone-planked path in front of their house resulting in covered corridors of up to 1300 metres.

What a day! Everything I touched went wrong! Last night the television decided to start turning itself off and on every few seconds. This morning I went for a walk with Lizzie - my son's lovely girlfriend. Took my camera with the intention of trying out the new lens only to realise that the battery was dead! Luckily, we were only a couple of hundred yards from the house so back we went to get a fresh one. The first time I tried to take a photo I was horrified to realise that I hadn't put a memory card in. Then we took a wrong path and had to return the way we had come - but that did allow this view.... Got home and made some coffee, only to have the coffee machine throw a half filled mug across the worktop!! It then became apparent that there was something wrong with little Baxter - he was terribly uncomfortable and agitated. After an hour or so of him not settling, Peter called the emergency vet and we met her at the surgery. It cost us £100 to be told there was nothing wrong with him, so now I feel that I over-walked him to breaking point!! There were a couple of other things that were equally annoying and I will be very glad to see tomorrow....
