“It is entirely possible that behind the perception of our senses, worlds are hidden of which we are unaware.” ~Albert Einstein
😎Dear friends! I heartily congratulate you on the New Year 2020! 🎉Last year, thanks to your support, I better recognized my strengths and weaknesses in photography! Undoubtedly, without you and your work and comments, the year would have been different! I wish you all good health and new creative successes. Sincerely, Oleg P (Listenwave Photography)📷
See video on my Chanel about this!
🌚What served as a change in perception many years ago no one will remember ... But this is not so important! It is important that the next day a new world appears! #listenwave #monotone #fineart #foveon #Фовеоныч. Фотография без поз!

Photographers at the Olympus photographic playground in Amsterdam. The light source creates a shadow on the screen which is between me and the photographer. Through the shadow another photographer and his subject is visible.
At first sight the shadow looks more real than the person that creates the shadow :).
For me this image serves as a modern illustration of Plato's cave allegory and the perception of the freed philosopher. The philosopher can see through the shadows the reality. The image illustrates for me also that images can have different layers of interpretation.
Cave allegory from Wikipedia:
Plato has Socrates describe a gathering of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall from things passing in front of a fire behind them, and they begin to give names to these shadows. The shadows are as close as the prisoners get to viewing reality. He then explains how the philosopher is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall do not make up reality at all, for he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the mere shadows seen by the prisoners. ...This allegory fascinated me already as a child.
I often like to think about our place in the universe... and scale... and relativity. For all we know, this big honking Earth of ours... teeming with what we know as lifeforms... is merely a molecule in some other, much larger structure.
Could be. After all, the microscopic view reveals entire worlds and civlizations invisible to our unaided eyes. And even a macro lens gives us a whole different perspective on size and scale.
And since I'm too tired to write today, I'll just repeat some doggerel I created as a kid, which basically says the same kind of thing (and suggests that I have changed very little in the past 30-plus years):
To a flea it's a four-lane highway
To an ant it's a mountain pass
To a cow it's plain delicious
To me it's a piece of grass.
(P.S. This is my first photo taken with my first-ever macro lens, which Husband Mike bestowed upon me for the big Four-Oh.)
Give me the Polaroid and l'll give you the key.

Camera movement in the bluebell woods. I figured out that I get a much smoother movement if I keep the camera close to my face rather than holding it a little further away.
I took this shot at the Salford Quays watersports centre, these canoes were stacked up and looked interesting, and the name perception intrigued me too.
Panther chameleons are zygodactylous: on each foot, the five toes are fused into a group of two and a group of three, giving the foot a tongs-like appearance. These specialized feet allow the panther chameleon a tight grip on narrow branches. Each toe is equipped with a sharp claw to gain traction on surfaces such as bark when climbing. The claws make it easy to see how many toes are fused into each part of the foot — two toes on the outside of each front foot and three on the inside.
Their eyes are the most distinctive among the reptiles and function like a gun turret. The upper and lower eyelids are joined, with only a pinhole large enough for the pupil to see through. They can rotate and focus separately to observe two different objects simultaneously; their eyes move independently from each other. It in effect gives them a full 360-degree arc of vision around their bodies. When prey is located, both eyes can be focused in the same direction, giving sharp stereoscopic vision and depth perception.
Take a quick look at his Flickr page and it doesn’t take long to see the great perception and sense for photography Mark Darbin (a.k.a. dizbin) has and this still life shot of inanimate, yet animate, subjects is our Photo of the Month for September!
Mark was putting his daughter to bed when he noticed the toy lamp she had was similar to the one on her desk. He took it to the living room and used the light from the larger lamp to shoot it. As simple as this sounds, it took him two sessions to get it right as the light bulb in the big lamp stuck out the bottom.
‘On the second attempt I tried both a background light, a secondary light source, both lights on etc. In the end I had to put the small lamp slightly behind so that I could tilt the large light back to hide the bulb.’ – Mark.
Shot with a Nikon D5100 + NIIKOR 105.0 mm f/2.8 @ ƒ/3.0 | 105.0 mm | 1/13s | ISO 100
Despite keeping a low profile online, Mark’s work has been noticed by a number of photography sites and photographers and, of course, it has not escaped us. To enjoy more of his work, head to his page on Flickr www.flickr.com/photos/101216325@N03/

This is my by far my favorite style of photography, long twilight exposures.
Im on a run of lackluster sunsets, but today i was determined to go home with a shot. After seeing the result I need to get out more when its rubbish.
wind was blowing a gale, I could literally see the camera wobbling.
Somehow managed a sharp image. to do with the law of averages I assume.
just switched to lightroom 4 and cant find where they hide the photo info menu, anyway.
approx 8 min, lights turned on for last 3min (lucky touch)

In this photo, does the railing of the staircase appear perfectly straight, or does it deform into an undulation, like a wave, as soon as you look at it? Is what we perceive, as individuals, objective reality, or just a subjective interpretation of it? Between different people, do we share the same vision of the world around us, or are our perceptions shaped by our unique experiences? In short, aren't there as many realities as there are individuals? Couldn't we say that the world is, in the final analysis, only what we choose to see in it?
Sur cette photo, le garde-corps de l’escalier semble-t-il parfaitement droit, ou se déforme-t-il en une ondulation, comme une vague, dès que votre regard se pose dessus ? Ce que nous percevons, en tant qu'individus, est-il la réalité objective, ou n’est-ce qu’une interprétation subjective de celle-ci ? Entre différentes personnes, partageons-nous la même vision du monde qui nous entoure, ou nos perceptions sont-elles façonnées par nos expériences uniques ? En somme, n’existe-t-il pas autant de réalités qu’il y a d’individus ? Ne pourrait-on pas affirmer que le monde n’est, en définitive, que ce que nous choisissons d’y voir ?
I always try to catch the light and the moment. It`s like dancing Tango Argentino: A passion!
Saturday I danced with the light and this shot is the fusion!
A moment and the light as well:
Assassin's Tango:
To cultivate the right instrument of perception, there must be no comparison, for when you compare you cease to understand. If you compare, approximate, you are being merely Competitive, ambitious, and your end then is success in which inherently is failure. Comparison implies a pattern of authority according to which you are measuring and guiding yourself. The oppression of authority cripples understanding. Comparison may produce a desired result but it is an impediment to self-knowledge. Comparison implies time and time does not yield understanding - J Krishnamurti
