… l’uomo è solo, ma può fare qualcosa per combattere la solitudine.
Come Sisifo, spinge in cima ad una montagna macigni che poi rotolono di nuovo giù.
Fa la stessa cosa giorno dopo giorno, ma se si ribella, la sua vita si trasforma.

I have been away from photography for quite a while...I wish I could be back soon.
Here is another shot at steptoe butte state park taken this May. A single exposure was enough for this scene. Again, this is one of the most amazing sunset I have ever seen.

Thanks for stopping by!
These days, I need my electric wheelchair to get here, but it's worth the trouble. I equate photography with trying to capture your emotional response to something. I still haven't managed it yet, but I keep coming back here and trying again. I'm a middling photographer so I probably won't succeed, but that doesn't matter. Every return reminds me that I can transcend pain and disability, and live in the moment, however briefly that is. When I pass, my idea of heaven would be living in this barn with every dog and cat that I've ever loved. People would be allowed short visits, but only those who like animals. I'm not sure the other type of people will get into heaven. And as this is my heaven, I'm making an executive decision, they don't get in. I'm not sending them to hell either, but perhaps somewhere like purgatory or Bingley. Not forever, I'd be the first to admit that eternity in Bingley is a little on the extreme side, but just long enough for them to reflect on the error of their ways.
Gloucester, MA
06-10-23
I live in an unincorporated area of Los Angeles, so I guess you could say my "City Hall" is the somewhat iconic L.A. City Hall, downtown. It's a gleaming white 27 story skyscraper built in 1927 and has been the subject of many of my photographs.
Most local City Halls, the Beach Cities, Torrance, the Peninsula, all are nondescript single or two story flat civic buildings from the 50s and 60s. (Torrance has three stories.) Lots of the surrounding cities have had multiple civic centers throughout their history, and perhaps some of the City Halls buildings have been magnificent. (One of Long Beach's many City Halls [from 1923] was pretty neat and the present glass walled Civic Center is really nice too.)
Nothing out west here in my home vicinity comes close to matching the grandeur of THIS City Hall, that of Gloucester, MA, a somewhat small fishing town known as America's oldest seaport.
The town was settled in 1642. This City Hall building was constructed in 1870. I saw the tower from across the bay when I was looking to take photos of the lighthouse. It started raining pretty badly, and the road to the lighthouse stated I needed to get a permit to travel it, so I turned around and went back into town. The rain stopped, the sun came out, and I drove up to the City Center to take some photos.
From Wikipedia:
"Gloucester City Hall...was built in 1870 and dedicated the following year. ...Built to a design by Bryant and Rogers, it is a two-story Second Empire brick building. Each of the rectangular building's four corners is topped by its own pyramidal roof structure, above which is a small rectangular cupola with its own roof. Centered on the front elevation is a clock tower that is brick in its lower levels, and decorated wood above, ending in a copper dome.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973."

Need to relax after my previous upload ;) - 11 years ago I was in Switzerland and Italy with a film camera so here is a scan from this fabulous journey. Must return to this magical and dreamy country again someday...
Have a wonderful week ahead!

I was kept home, busy at work for months. Still do not see when I could be out shooting somewhere.. So I looked some old photos long time ago and had a little fun myself.
This was taken in 2013 spring, when I knew little about photography. I happened to shoot this scene at the right time, although it was a little hazy that day.

Thanks for looking!
I went out with a guy who once told me I didn’t need to drink to make myself more fun to be around. I told him, I’m drinking so that you’re more fun to be around

Trying to catch up my delay ... (which has become very big) ... but I need to post a new photo from time to time ...
Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several WEEKS later. And I might post other photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. J'y répondrai peut-être plusieurs SEMAINES après. Et je posterai peut-être d'autres photos entre temps.
Photo prise près de chez moi, dans les environs de Strasbourg.
Dans la journée du jeudi 14 janvier 2021 et dans la nuit qui a suivi, il a bien neigé en plaine d'Alsace. Puis le vendredi 15 au matin, le ciel est devenu tout bleu, faisant en place à un grand soleil qui a magnifié les décors fraîchements blanchis. Comme j'étais chez moi (en télétravail), je n'ai pas pu résister à profiter de ma pause déjeuner pour aller faire un tour dans le bois situé juste à côté de chez nous et je me suis régalé pendant 1h30 à évoluer sous le soleil, au milieu de ces arbres et arbustes recouverts de neige. C'était MAGIQUE ! Le grand BONHEUR !!! 🙏😊
Quand je suis rentré, j'ai tout fait pour convaincre ma femme d'aller en profiter à son tour en début d'après-midi, avant d'aller faire les courses. Elle a beaucoup hésité mais devant mon insistance, elle m'a imité et elle n'a pas regretté. Elle a été aussi enchantée que moi par ce spectacle exceptionnel en plaine d'Alsace. 👍😊
Seul petit bémol, sous l'effet du soleil et des températures peu négatives, la neige fondait et tombait de façon assez soutenue sous certaines branches. Je devais protéger en permanence mon objectif avec ma main gauche et j'ai reçu pas mal de neige sur la tête. Mais ça avait un côté marrant en même temps. 😂 Et c'est aussi pour ça que j'ai dit à ma femme d'en profiter dès que possible, avant que les branches n'aient perdu trop de neige.
Caroline needed some publicity shots for her next performance piece, which is loosely based around Celtic mythology and place. I'm going to be incredibly busy this week so I decided to edit one on gut instinct. Hope she likes it!

I decided to, just maybe, go overboard a bit and not worry about looking natural. This Roseate Spoonbill was nicely backlit but the contrast at the time of day it was taken was pretty harsh. I decided to go with the flow and take advantage of the craziness. The jury is still out in my own mind about it. What do you think? (No need to hold back.)
One of my attempts at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Sidelit".
Shot with a Schneider Kreuznach "Makro-Symmar 120 mm F 5.9 Makro-Iris" on a Canon EOS R5.
Continuing?
Hey guys, I need your input on this. Should I try and get back into the hobby? And if I do, should I continue mainly being a customizer rather than a builder or should I try to build more to get better with mocs, scenes, and so forth. I really want to get back I to the hobby of Lego, but just don't know what to focus on.

I need to follow my own rule, which is to shoot and identify when images gets to the computer. I have not really paid that much attention to sparrows, if I had I probably would have more life birds, not every sparrow is a chipping sparrow...;-)
I need to send credit to Graham, he is the one that spotted and identified this Lark Sparrow. Thank you my friend, it was a great trip and already looking forward to next year.

Macro 1X (focus stacking)
Fondos MNCN-CSIC
Macro 1X con apilamiento de foco por control de anillo de enfoque
Macro 1X by focus stacking using the focus ring control
Ingredientes:
-Nikon D600 + Nikor 105mm macro 1X
-Helicon Remote para control automático de la pila de foco mediante el anillo de enfoque (por medio de USB)
-Helicon Soft para apilamiento de foco (36 shots, Method B, R=4, S=2)
-Helicon lo puedes bajar a prueba durante 1 mes gratis, o una licencia para un año por 50€, controla casi todas las Nikon y Canon mediante USB. Existen otros proveedores de soft para stacking (apilamiento), p. ej. Zerene, ControlMyNikon o Canon, Combine Z, etc
-Opcional: impresora 3D (Up Plus 2) para la fabricación de focos, soportes, mesa de trabajo, etc. Puedes utilizar el sencillo 123D Design (free soft) para diseñar las piezas.
Receta:
-Montamos el bodegón con sujeto y fondo
-Lo iluminamos con 4 o 5 micro-focos de leds. Los focos se pueden diseñar e imprimir utilizando una impresora 3D y después montar los leds (alta luminosidad y 5300K), la alimentación es de 12vdc para grupos de 3 o 4 leds. La ventaja frente al uso de flash, es que se pueden dirigir los focos y componer la iluminación antes del disparo, además del volumen que se consigue jugando con la iluminación.
-Disparamos las fotografías utilizando, p. ej., Helicon Remote: Helicon controla el enfoque con el movimiento del anillo de enfoque antes de disparar cada foto, todo el proceso de toma de fotos es automático, se pueden ver videos en youtube
-Para 1X se necesitan de 20 a 100 fotos, según valor de f, focal utilizada y profundidad de campo necesaria, lo calcula el soft automáticamente. Se suele utilizar el punto dulce de la lente (normalmente en el entorno de f5.6) para optimizar los resultados
-Apilamos el stack de n fotografías utilizando Helicon Soft
-Utilizamos Lightroom o similar para eliminar “halos” y “artefactos”
-Una vez se tiene práctica, todo el proceso puede durar 15 min

/ 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.
