This is part of my pandemic project. The project was created to minimize the number of people that I would come into contact with and to help keep my sanity. The location is a local university. From what I can tell the vast majority of classes are being held online leaving the campus empty with the exception of a few nursing students and an occasional group of Frisbee golf players.
The project started when my wife and I used the campus to walk the dog in the evening. I began to notice the architecture and interesting light fixtures. I started to return and photograph and soon had a project.

While I often prefer to minimize the content of photographs when possible — some of my favorites qualify as minimalist images — I also have a weakness for trying to make photographs out of extremely dense subjects. (If you know a bit about “minimalism,” you may recognize that filling space with details can also be a characteristic.) Sometimes the pure density and complexity of the scene is enough, though at other times the challenge is in finding a viable composition among so much detail.
This little “baby forest” vignette is from high in the subalpine zone in the Yosemite Sierra, in the young forest near the edge of a meadow, a place where new trees can gain a foothold out of the literal shadows of the more established trees. Particularly in the early season — late spring and the start of summer — spots like this can be lush and full of new greenery and wildflowers.

Christmas Lights at Vitruvian Park -- Addison, TX
Shot on Tripod. Shot at f/3.2 to minimize shutter speed as winds were blowing the trees about.
"Minimize the composition to isolate your subject. The composition should be simple, thereby drawing your viewer to the subject."
On a forgotten shelf sits a tattered book. Unused in the kitchen, since the discovery of the suribachi, is a mortar and pestle. They come together for Iron Photographer challenge 211, which elicits compositions with:
1 - a bowl (a mortar, in this case)
2 - something broken (a book with a broken spine)
3 - photographed simply
This first attempt gave nice back lighting but insufficient highlighting of the defective spine. Extraneous details were minimized with low key lighting.
6.20pm, 16.Nov.2011, f13, 1/5 +/-1.67EV, ISO-800, tripod
In the processing of this photo, I minimized Gamut Warnings and recovered all over-exposed highlights. The HDR was a blend between Exposure Fusion and Details Enhancer to minimise grey halos.
I was standing at this spot from 5.00pm till 6.30pm before it became too dark to find my way out of the bushes.
Together with the photos shown below, they represented the spectrum of colours during the sunset.
Which photo do you like best?
So what happens when you take the colours of the rainbow (I realize I don't have them all there...) and put them through a reverse prism (or something like that) ?! You get bright whiteness!
In order to minimize chances of missing, we found more colours of balloons, and moved them all closer to each other, oddly enough, the first time we did this shot, the arrow hit the second and third balloons and missed all the others lol.
I had changed to the 50 f/1.8 in an attempt to make the background less distracting, and it's worked to some degree.. hope it's not too distracting.
It's a real shame that we didn't get the arrow in the shot, and ran out of multiple colours of balloons, so we had to revert to back 3 balloons after this (that insists that there's one more to come!).
I also wasn't a huge fan of stacking two images on top of each other like I did in my "Lucky Orange" shot, so I decided to go with something else for this one, and I personally like it more, plus I wouldn't want to repeat a framing technique anyway.
Hope you enjoy!
Random Info: Although you can't see it, when the arrow hit the target at the end, after hitting all 5 balloons, it was at a [roughly] 25 degree downward angle when it should be practically straight, which might give you an idea of how this much water can effect the arrow and how difficult it can be to hit them all straight.
Thought I would post another sunburst picture to follow up yesterday's sunburst. This one again with the annoying lens flare. Does anyone know any tricks to minimize that effect? I like shooting into the sun.
In space, "hitting the gym" isn’t something you try to find time to do. It’s a requirement. Frequent exercise helps astronauts minimize the loss of muscle mass, bone density and cardiovascular function. This week, as part of his exercise regimen, NASA astronaut Tim Kopra coordinated with flight controllers at NASA’s Payload Operations Integration Center (science mission control for the station located at NASA Marshall) to ride an exercise bike and take ultrasound images of his muscles. The ultrasounds, taken before and after exercise, will let program doctors on Earth know how effective the exercise can be and will help the research team develop an efficient routine for astronauts to stay fit during long space exploration missions. #ScienceInOrbit

Using telephoto lenses wide-open to maximize the amount of bokeh, and minimize the depth of field is a special joy. Here, I indulged as much as I could, Pentax-M 100mm short-telephoto lens is a joy to use.
Taken with Vivitar V2000 film camera and smc Pentax-M 100mm F2.8 lens, on expired post-2014. DM Paradies Universal 200 film. Scanned with Plustek OpticFilm 8100 dedicated film scanner, using VueScan x64 9.5.
it's easy to minimize the little yays in our lives: projects completed, relationships cultivated, small steps forward. but if we don't take these in--take them into our bones--they skitter away. i'm a big believer in celebrating the little things; celebrating with our whole being.
what are the yays in your life today?

This is a Hornet, I've wanted to take a photo of one of these for years. The 1st and only time I have had the opportunity to take a photo of one was 2 years ago, I set myself up, was just about to take a photo and it flew off !!
When I take photos with such high magnification, I try to brace myself on something firm, use mirror lock up (Which stops mirror slap ) And I also always hold my breath to minimize any movement for the sharpest possible image. I don't use a tripod for macro work as they are slow and cumbersome(by the time I set it up, whatever I was photographing has moved and probably had babies by then!)
This specimen was captured at great dixter garden in Sussex. It had damaged wings so it couldn't fly, it also posed for me beautifully
Once upon a time, not that long ago, I saw a bird with only one leg. I was devastated. But then it pulled out the other leg and I was so relieved. Seriously, I had to look this up - why do birds stand on one leg? So, from Mel and Sid's webpage: "Owls’ legs have an adaptation called “rete mirabile” that minimizes heat loss.
The arteries that transport warm blood into the legs lie in contact with the veins that return colder blood to the bird’s heart, arteries warm the veins.
In the winter by standing on one leg, an owl reduces half the amount of heat lost through unfeathered limbs."
Sounds good to me. And by the way, I have to say it again - check this out Large with that "L" key.
As well as doing my version of Janet Weiss I also want to show my new favorite bra, the Lilyette by Bali Comfort Lace Underwire Minimizer Bra.

When I really need to slow down my pace, minimize my pulse beats and relax both my mind and my soul, I'm looking at the weather forecast !!! I really need to know the exact weather conditions within two or three days ahead ... When this forecast describes more or less a weather like the above one, it is exactly then that I'm planning the morning off from my work (or not if it's on weekends) and plugin the batteries of my cameras to the appropriate AC/DC sockets ... One of the great advantages of such a choice is that you practically expand "indeffinitely" the appropriate photoshooting time which as you all know is "maybe" forty five minutes early in the morning and "maybe" around an hour early in the evening ... When weather conditions are like that, all hours are perfect for landscape photoshooting !!!
This time the program included a photo excursion to the Dam of Thisavros (Dam of Treasure in english), a huge hydroelectric Dam that cuts off River Nestos somewhere near the borders between Bulgaria and Greece within the Prefecture of Drama ... A truly amazing not more that three hours excursion from the place of my permanent residence .... Even I didn't know what to expect since it was the first time I was trying it !!! I honestly tell you my friends that you will enjoy along with me amazing winter landscape shots !!! So just bear with me for the next ten shots or so ... Let's start ...
EXIF: NIKON D90 with Nikon Nikkor 18 - 55 lens, manual mode, f 9 (needed a pin sharp foreground detail and a clear DOF), ISO 200, focal length 18 mm, auto exposure mode, cloudy weather adjusted white balance, center weighted average light metering mode, use of ND HOYA X2 filter (greatly contributed to accurately capture the beautiful lining of the sky), HDR made by only one original RAW shot with shutter speed 1/40 s, adjustments that managed to accurately convey the scene's cloudy atmospere's lighting conditions to the viewer, flash didn't go off, no tripod ....

Blackout, the practice of minimizing outdoor lighting for protection from attack. I don't think any enemy aircraft will be able to spot me!
I'm working this weekend (boo!) but then got all of next week off (yey!) so hopefully I'll have more time to spend on my photos.
And I've just found out my photostream has been marked as unsafe!!! If the person who raised a complaint would like to point me in the direction of what they found offensive I'd like it to be pointed out! In the meantime, sorry if you can't see my photos.

through a very dirty United Express window. strategically placed dirt spots make it look cleaner than it was
I try to get windows on the shade side of the plane, manually focus, and shoot wide open to minimize the crap on the window. Some times it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Strobist Sundays - camera equipment
When I'm out shooting, I don't want to be advertising my gear. I use my equipment to get the job done, not to prove to anyone I'm a cool guy. (the latter is an impossibility, anyway) I want to minimize being seen with a camera -- any camera -- as much as possible, and certainly minimize anything that looks "professional." I found with my favorite carry lens -- 70-200mm L f/4 IS -- neoprene sleeves did a good job hiding the white L glass, while offering good bump protection. Same with the rubber hood -- more discrete than the big plastic one and a nice bumper.
Recently the stars aligned and I was fortunate enough to be able to get the Canon 70-200mm F2.8 L IS II USM you see (or don't see) above...yes, the new top-flight mk II. It's big, and heavy (3.3 pounds), and it's white, of course. As you can see above, I was able to minimize its visual impact considerably by making two neoprene sleeves. The zoom ring is exposed. I blacked out the name on the front of the body with Gorilla duct tape. And I use a Richard Franiec hotshoe cover. I use a handstrap, not a neck strap.
I've got a concert shoot coming up this Sunday and I'm looking forward to using the fast, sharp f/2.8 lens with amazing IS.
lighting info: I wanted a bit of a stealthy feel to this. Small softbox is above and behind, slightly camera left. Light is flagged from the black background. 8x5 bounce card near front of lens barrel camera right. I had a big bounce card right in front but it didn't help to fill the inside of the hood. For that I needed direct application of a 120 lumen LED flashlight (you can see the highlight lower right in the hood)
I used a 60mm lens to give a nice "normal" perspective -- not too tele compressed, not too WA distorted.
Among the most surreal things I’ve seen was a Black-tailed jackrabbit running around the alpine tundra on Niwot Ridge in the southern Rockies. Without any object to judge their size, they appear massive- my first impression was of a coyote, but it hopped and had super long ears. Then I thought I might have mercury poisoning and had fallen down the rabbit hole, and met the Mad Hatter, but the hare I saw wasn’t wearing a hat. Finally I realized that it was a Black-tailed jackrabbit that was envious of its cousins, the Pika*, and was just chillin’ (literally!) in the alpine.
*a pika is a small rabbit with very short ears, well adapted to cold climates.
Note the Flickr machine identified this as a bear- perhaps the mercury poisoning was not far off...
Explore #409, 12/11/08.
This was shot using Live View on my camera, zoomed in 10 times, where it is amazing to see how much the camera moves whenever I touch it. Even focusing sets up a momentary vibration. Also shot on a tripod, using a remote cable release. During Live View, the mirror is locked up, completing all the things that can be done to minimize camera shake.
This is my entry for the contest "IdS-MiMi 2018 - Minimize Me". I always wanted to build a slope floor in a MOC.
“You must understand, young Hobbit, it takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish. And we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say.”

ps.....does anyone know how to allow someone to download one of your Flickr photos? I can't even download it! It'll appear on my desktop until I click it off.......then it doesn't minimize and stay. It disappears.
Does anyone know how I can "unlock" it so someone else can download it?
on the way to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe one has to clim the pictoresque stairs. and wait a long time to minimize the crowd in the picture, Game of Throne fans included.
5 single row vertical exposures minimized at ten seconds to minimize blur. Stitched with ptgui and used a Nikkor 50mm 1.8g lens
I made this shot from the safety of my car. Normally I prefer not to work this close to bears, to minimize habituating them and also to keep their stress as low as possible. In this case I parked on the roadside about 100 yards away and photographed as he came toward me. He walked past with scarcely a glance in my direction - other than this one. Dandelions buried by the previous day's light snowfall were on the menu. Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta.

More designing for the Real World Starfighter comp. No re-entry pod on this one, it's a dedicated spaceship. Also no windows to protect the crew from atomic flash. Needs more details, reinforcing, stickers, etc. I really like the white more than the bley of the last idea. Not sure if I'll keep this one or redo it.
My home office in my new house. It features a hidden desktop PC (left hand cabinet, along with HP printer) with wall-mounted dual 22" widescreen monitors with custom in-wall wiring, under-cabinet lighting over the monitors and desk and plenty of shelves for my growing collection of books. The recliner in the corner admittedly doesn't match the color decor - I am awaiting a slipcover to bring it more in-line with the color scheme.
The wall color - Orange - is one of the primary colors of the company where I work. I guess you can say I've taken the company culture to heart.
Just discovered that this shot was added to Explore, I believe that might be my first!
The greenery around this area always makes for a difficult composition but after moving around for a minute or two I was able to minimize the plants from blocking the view.
Thanks for looking!

I am just left breathless by the colors of paradise in this iPhone photos panorama. Hurricane Matthew was churning along the East Coast of Florida heading in to North Carolina when my flight from Long Island, New York, to Tampa Bay, Florida, was on approach to Tampa International Airport. As the Boeing descended near Tarpon Springs, I realized I was flying parallel to a community right on the Gulf of Mexico in New Port Richey where I had considered buying a home in 2012 before deciding on my own personal paradise in Apollo Beach. It was too small and too expensive but the best part was that there was diving board in the house from which you could dive right into deep Gulf of Mexico water where dolphins could be swimming by.
This is an 11000x6000 panorama image stitched from just six iPhone 6S+ photos taken from seat 1A. I had to rotate the phone as accurately as I could, while minimizing the chance of my hands, shirt, and phone itself being visible reflected in the window on the otherwise brilliant day, despite the massive white and bluish gray clouds above and puffy white clouds below.
I had to crop some of the sides and lower part of the image where the panorama was jagged. I did not try to correct the jet engine's shape caused by geometric anomalies of stitching. Can you name the engine? LOL.
Try to zoom in and see how much detail is in the picture. I can actually see the house I almost bought. Can you see the details? Do you know the area?

When I was in Iceland, I made a visit to the dock area. The edges of the dock were just beginning to freeze and occasional snow would blow in and pile up. All the ships were giant, metallic, and cold. I thought about what a hard life it would be to work on one of these ships. I don't really like being too cold and I'm not sure if the old "dress in layers" trick would work so well when out on one of these ships in the north Atlantic. Those guys that do that every day are tough!
On this one, I kept the aperture pretty wide open to minimize ship movement on the rolling water. I don't normally tell the software to automatically align images (mentioned in the HDR tutorial), but this time I did.
from the blog at www.stuckincustoms.com
Fort San Miguel access is via a sloped winding ramp. The design minimized the chance of a rushed attack on the fort.
Built between 1779 and 1801 and dedicated to the archangel Michael, the fort was positioned to blast enemy ships with its long-range cannons.
As soon as it was completed, pirates stopped attacking the city. In fact, the cannons were fired only once, in 1842, when General Santa Anna used Fuerte de San Miguel to put down a revolt by Yucatecan separatists seeking independence from Mexico.
In architecture, a gargoyle is a carved or formed grotesque with a spout designed to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building, thereby preventing rainwater from running down masonry walls and eroding the mortar between. Architects often used multiple gargoyles on a building to divide the flow of rainwater off the roof to minimize the potential damage from a rainstorm. A trough is cut in the back of the gargoyle and rainwater typically exits through the open mouth.
I captured this while enjoying hey stroll along the Rankin Ridge Nature Trail with a view looking to the southeast. This was another image captured on that overcast day with low clouds, so I angled my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward to minimize that but also capture more of the depth looking across the hillsides and valleys to my front. I later used a Sunset recipe in Color Efex Pro 4 after doing initial post-processing work in Capture NX2.
