My objective for our upcoming trip is to observe and photograph the elk rut...for the umpteenth time. It never gets old and never disappoints.
My last post for a couple of weeks.
Second in new series of digitally produced images that explores the possibility of working with digital pixels much in the same way as a painter moves pigment about on a canvas. As a long-term abstract painter, this was always something I wanted to do but never got around to. Finally being laid out with a case of Covid, I had a lot of time in which to explore this idea. So, much good came out of my own personal illness and lockdown. What better way to heal.
This image is dedicated to my dear old friend and co-creator of the "PANO-Vision" group, Paul Ewing. As Alan Price sang in Lindsay Anderson's film, "O Lucky Man" ... "If you have a friend on whom you think you can rely, you are lucky man" ... I am.

One of my attempts at the "Smile on Saturday" theme "Observe the O".
Shot with a Meyer Optik "Helioplan 40 mm F 4.5" lens on a Canon EOS R5.

Taken on a hot June afternoon when aphids were in abundance on some kind of wild vine that seems to grow everywhere in Massachusetts. I'm pretty sure it's some kind of invasive species... grows like Kudzu. Several varieties of ants were tending the aphids, doing their usual antennae tapping to persuade the aphids to dispense droplets of honeydew. Some ants would pass a droplet to another, maybe "teaching" less experience younger ants what the process was all about.
Taken while experimenting with a pair of objectives that had recently been scavenged from two damaged lenses, a 90-230mm Soligor, and a 80-200 Nikon. The Soligor objective was mounted reversed on a Nikon 105mm f/2.5 AI-S lens, with the Nikon 80-200mm reverse mounted on the Soligor. Lighting provided by a small speelight flashed through a diffuser made from the bowl that comes in a frozen dinner.

The Zollverein Coal Mine Complex in Essen (More images in my series Zollverein) is one of the most impressive surviving examples of industrial culture from the modern era.
With their design of the central shaft facilities for Shaft XII, built between 1928 and 1932, Fritz Schupp and Martin Kremmer created the single most important part of the complex, both technically and architecturally. The industrial monument has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001.
The site of the Zollverein coal mine and coking plant stands symbolises industrial history and structural transformation in the economy. Here, Schupp and Kremmer created a high-performance industrial complex with clear aesthetics and a high degree of functionality. Symmetry, axiality and gradation of scale – the organising principles of the modernist formal idiom – came into their own here in a new context.
The curtain wall façades, designed in the style of New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit) and made of a steel framework inset with clinker bricks, earned the colliery the reputation of being “the most beautiful coal mine in the world”, even back in its working days. Clearly visible from afar, the 55-metre-high double winding tower rises above the other buildings as an icon of mining architecture and a symbol for the entire Ruhr region. Years later, Fritz Schupp built the Zollverein Coking Plant, which went into operation in 1961, in the same style as the coal mine complex. In its day, the mine was regarded as the largest and most efficient one in the world. An era came to an end when the coal mine ceased operations in 1986 and the coking plant in 1993. A total of 600,000 people were employed here and coal was last extracted from a depth of 1,000 metres.
In the context of the International Building Exhibition (IBA) Emscher Park, the facility, which is protected as a historical monument, was promoted as a model project; the first phase of refurbishment began in 1989. Today, the Zollverein complex is the central anchor point of the Route of Industrial Heritage – a 400-kilometre-long trail along the industrial and cultural heritage of the Ruhr region. Based on a master plan by Rem Koolhaas and his firm OMA in collaboration with the architectural firm of Heinrich Böll, the site was transformed with conversions and new buildings by Norman Foster and SANAA into a site for culture, business and education. Today, the Zollverein is a popular tourist destination that is home to the Ruhr Museum, the Red Dot Design Museum, the Zollverein Monument Trail, and the new Folkwang University of the Arts with its design department, plus the studios and ateliers of four dozen creative companies.
Another, wider view of a small mite clinging to an Orchard Orb Weaver taking down its web. Nikon D40, Nikon 105mm f/2.5 AI-S lens focused at infinity, with the objective from a junk Soligor 90-230mm lens reverse mounted on the 105.
Here, using only one instead of two objectives results in significantly more field width than the image of the same spider posted immediately before this one. Exposure was at f/16, ISO 400, 1/2000 second, with lighting provided by a Nikon SB23 speedlight flashed through a home-made diffuser. The D40 provides flash sync up to 1/4000 second when using an external flash.

Objective of the game:
To get 4 of a kind
Rules of the game:
1 - For each player there are four matching cards, one of each suit (numbers or rank do not really matter). After a shuffle, everyone is dealt four cards.
2 - Then everyone says "1-2-3 pass!"
3 - On "Pass", everyone passes one card to their right.
3 - The first person to get four matching cards, e.g. four Kings, puts their hand in the middle, palm flat on the table.
4 - Everyone else does the same. The last person to do so (has the top hand) loses and there will be consequences.
a dead thing, a wee bit beaten up, but a fly's heid without a doubt... not a great effort but thought I'd post it anyway. there's a bit of gloop on it's eyeball as well.

I'm having a small exhibition at an old established Second Life shop called Bare Rose, which Nympheas is the manager of its art gallery. I think it is one of the first shops i went to shop. Through organising this Nym came asking for a mermaid kind of picture. So this is what came out.
My exhibition at BareRose will be for october. So if you are interested, have a look.

This is my first and hopefully not my last build for the 253rd's mission 20 event, there are quite few amazing objectives that the team wrote for this one and I'm hoping to build for a couple more! If you guys want to partake in the fun just head over the the RebelLug Discord server and you'll find several 253rd channels where the mission 20 objectives and rules are located. This mission is open to the public and anyone can build for it!
Anyway thanks for stopping by and have a good one!
One of the main objectives when traveling to Iceland was to try to photograph the famous northern lights that can be seen in these latitudes. This is not an easy task and some luck is advisable.
In our case with mostly cloudy and rainy days our probabilities were considerably low but on the sixth day of stay we had a clear night without clouds and a moderate prevision of appearance of the Aurora Borealis and finally we were able to see it and take some shots in the area of Jokulsarlon with the ice blocks floating on the lake in the foreground.
It was an amazing experience and all of us were extremely excited when shooting. I think we will not forget the experience.

One of the main objectives from my trip to Japan was to capture the row of vermilion
torii gates that straddle the paths at Fushimi Inari Shrine. Since early Japan, Inari was seen as the patron of business, traditionally worshipped by merchants and manufacturers. Each of the torii at Fushimi Inari Taisha is donated by a Japanese business. First and foremost, though, Inari is the god of rice.
Due to the extreme popularity of the site, the only way to avoid the masses and “pull off” the shot was to get there early in the morning, as soon as the shrine opened to the public.

Once upon a time, the job of a reporter was to objectively report the events of the day. Reporters took pride in remaining neutral and presenting an unbiased perspective. Armed with a camera and notebook, they meticulously recorded details in the field. Back in the bustling newsroom, they would hammer out their stories on typewriters, the clatter of keys echoing through the hazy, smoke-filled room. These stories then passed through a chain of editors at the newspaper before the latest issue rolled off the presses.
Contrast this with today's landscape of citizen journalism, where information is often gathered from the social media posts of biased and untrained bystanders. With an abundance of online news services vying for clicks, sensationalized headlines have become the norm. The era of objective news seems to be behind us, leaving us with the challenge of discerning the truth amidst a flood of information.

On Sunday I joined a couple for a mushroom hunt at the Salt Point State Park at the coast of northern California. My primary objective was photography, but I was also rewarded with tasty mushrooms. I brought home delicious Matsutake, Chanterelle, Black Trumpet, and Porcupine mushrooms. This is not an edible one.
I processed a balanced, a photographic, and a paintery HDR photo from two RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
