The Black Drongo (Dicrurus macrocercus), also known as the King Crow, is a small Asian passerine bird of the drongo family Dicruridae.Is a wholly black bird with a distinctive forked tail and measures 28 cm (11 in) in length. It feeds on insects and is common in open agricultural areas and light forest perching conspicuously on a bare perch.
The bird is a common resident breeder in much of tropical southern Asia from southwest Iran through India and Sri Lanka east to southern China and Indonesia.
This species is famous for its aggressive behaviour towards much larger birds, such as crows, never hesitating to dive-bomb any birds of prey that invades its territory. Smaller birds often nest in the well guarded vicinity of a nesting Black Drongo.
Assignment: PCA15 – Landscapes + B&W conversion
Deadline: Sunday 3rd February
Image Tag: pca15
From: Jockaye
Mission:
”Landscape art created by a camera rather than a brush, landscape photography is a genre meant to show the beauty of the natural world. Most landscape photographers strive to show as little human activity as possible, ideally none, in their photos. Instead, the subjects are landforms, weather, and ambient light” [wikipedia]
One of my favourite types of photography is landscapes, hence why I chose this topic. It was a choice between this or macros and I felt this was less reliant on having specialist equipment. I want you to get out into the countryside and take some beautiful, dramatic pictures of the scenery around you. As always, at the end of the assingment it would be nice to have some images that of high enough quality to hang on the wall (I have no more space in my house due to the other 14!)
As this is a two week assignment, there is one more thing that I want you to do. With the landscape that you produce, I want you to do a black and white conversion. I find that b/w conversions of landscapes can be so dramatic, especially when there are moody clouds in the sky, or sky reflected in calm water. Dodging and burning can add a lot of drama into a black and white landscape and I advise looking into it.
WIT: I was planning on shooting Mt Fuji but the weather never allowed it, so I went to the beach on a day that was supposed to be sunny. around 4p.m I was able to see a little of the sunset. I had fun shooting this as I tied my new lens (Canon 50mm 1.8) for the first time. I also ruined a pair of shoes that I tore on the rocks trying to get the best shot possible. I add a filter effect in PP and adjusted the color and the black levels. As far as the B&W, tried to do something decent withPhotoshop but to no avail so I decided to go with a preset in Lightroom.
See the B&W version in the comment below.

I know I do a lot of cityscapes, but sometimes the simplest shots are my favorites. Took this at Corey Lake, Michigan on a kind of gray day, so converted it to black and white.

The Peninsula Hong Kong opened in 1928 is Hong Kong's first hotel and is also one of the most internationally recognizable hotels in Hong Kong. The Peninsula Hotel Group's flagship property has been voted as the world's best hotel on a couple of occasions and is widely regarded as one of the legendary properties.
Since December 2006, the hotel has had a fleet of 14 Long Wheelbase Rolls Royce Phantoms painted in the hotel's signature green. This was the largest order placed for Rolls Royce in the history of the company. It replaces a fleet of Rolls-Royce Silver Spurs.

My son and I were at the campground all day yesterday with our cub scout pack, and by the time we got home, got showered and unpacked, I was too tired to go through pictures.
This was only the 2nd photo I took that day, but one of my favorites since it perfectly captured how the rest of day went. I remember when I used to have that much energy, the kind that lasted all day long without the need for caffeine or energy drinks.

Ecocentro Danaus (<-- video) is located a couple miles east of La Fortuna Costa Rica. It's a fairly small reserve, 600 meters of walking trails, but boy, do they pack a LOT in such a small area. Danaus was created about 13 years ago when some forward thinking people decided it might be better to grow life than cut it down. Danaus is like a mini oasis since it's completely surrounded by pasture and cattle land. Here's what Ecocentro Danaus says about itself: 'Ecocentro Danaus is an ecological reserve that preserves a natural regenerating secondary forest. Many different biological processes take place here and there is a great biodiversity of flora and fauna in its natural state.'Danaus is worth a look if your in the La Fortuna area and you need something to do for a couple hours.

Listen Spirit of the sea - BlackMore's Night
I took a walk along the shore
To clear my mind about the day,
I saw a man I´d seen before
As I approached he slipped away...
I knew his face from years ago,
His smile stays with me ever more
His eyes, they guide me through the haze
And give me shelter from the storm...
As I walk I can feel him,
Always watching over me...
His voice surrounds me,
My Spirit of the Sea...
He went away so long ago,
[ Letras de Canciones encontraron en es.mp3lyrics.org/vI3 ]
On a maiden voyage far away
A young man then I did not know,
His life was taken that same day...
And it was almost like he knew
He wouldn´t see me anymore
He looked so deeply in my eyes, and said
"Wait for me along the shore..."
And so I come most every day,
To watch the waves rise and fall,
And as I sit here on the sand,
This ocean makes me feel so small...
But I feel my lover by my side,
And he makes me follow my own heart
We´ll be together some sweet day
When that day comes we´ll never part...
When that day comes we´ll never part...
Wait for me along the shore...
Blackmore's Night is a Renaissance-inspired folk rock band led by Ritchie Blackmore (electric guitar and acoustic guitar) and Candice Night (lyricist and lead vocals).
The origins of the band lie in 1990 when Candice Night was working at a local New York rock music radio station. She first encountered Ritchie Blackmore, then with Deep Purple, at a soccer game in which he was playing. The two became romantically involved and discovered that they shared a passionate interest in the Renaissance.
After leaving Deep Purple in 1993 and recording the album Stranger in Us All in 1995, on which Night contributed backing vocals and some of the lyrics, Blackmore became interested in the idea of bringing Renaissance music to a contemporary audience. Night's personality and singing ability made her the natural choice as "frontwoman." In 1997 the pair were ready to launch the band, the name being a pun of their own names, and which would consist of themselves plus session musicians.
Their debut album Shadow of the Moon was an instant success, particularly in Europe. In subsequent albums, particularly Fires at Midnight, there was an increased incorporation of rock guitar into the music, whilst maintaining a folk rock direction. Over time, Candice Night has increasingly participated instrumentally as well as singing the vocals, and is competent in a wide variety of Renaissance instruments.
The group performs at Renaissance fairs and Renaissance Festivals, as well as in stand-alone concert tours in appropriate venues including 'castle tours' of Europe, where they perform in historic surroundings for an audience dressed largely in period costume. The band has been successful enough to inspire a number of international tribute bands including: Renaissance Night and the Italian Morning Star.
They have also performed the music for MagiQuest, a live simulation game located internationally. In 2006, Candice performed a duet with Andi Deris on Helloween's "Light The Universe", which was released as a single in certain countries and is available on their album Keeper Of The Seven Keys - The Legacy, released in the same year. A new album is due to release in June 2008, called Secret Voyage.

Today is the first day of the story, so here goes.
__________

By Garrison Smith
Day One [September 25, 2009]
"Today, I will be starting a story--a thriller. Perhaps you will start reading it and perhaps you'll like it. Perhaps I might continue the story. Perhaps not. Perhaps I should start typing the short story that I just finished telling you I was going to write. Perhaps not. Perhaps I like to use the word perhaps. And perhaps I'm only using the word to annoy you, and perhaps it is."
He tapped at the keyboard with surprising speed. click click click. He had taken a course in typing two years before and it was proving beneficial now. He had no idea what he was typing, but only that he was. He glanced to his left, eying the bright red numbers that stared him in the face. 1:10 pm. It was Wednesday afternoon and a slight breeze whisked through the red and orange leaves on the trees just outside his bedroom window. A typical autumn day, to be sure.
But he would soon discover that all was not typical, and all was not as it seemed.
He leaned back in his chair, and, closing his eyes, searched for words. Finding them, he leaned forward and began punching at the keyboard. "Perhaps I should get up and get a drink, but my thirst is not one to be quenched by water, not satisfied by a cola." He pushed his chair out from underneath him as he stood. He looked around. His room was a mess to end all messes, literally. No one could mess a room like he did, yet he cleaned it regularly. He ran his fingers through his short-cropped brown hair. Perhaps he would continue his typing later--perhaps not.
A knock on the door sent him down the hall and into the dimly-lit living room. He wasn't expecting anybody. For being recently graduated from college, he had a decent place. Landing himself a job at a local newspaper as a journalist helped with the income, and when he was short, his parents provided. His life was going smoothly, as far as he knew.
He swung open the large mock-cherrywood door and with a skeptical look on his face, greeted the delivery man. The package was addressed to Michael Hall. Not the photographer or painter, but himself. He wished he was widely known, but his talent left him writing for a local newspaper. He closed the door as the UPS man left. He grabbed a knife and opened the package cautiously. It was ironic; he'd be using a knife more in the next few days than he had ever done in his lifetime.
He pulled at the packaging peanuts and retrieved a cell phone. 'How cliche', he thought. The second the thought left his mind, the phone chirped to life. Michael jerked, startled by the volume level.
He put the receiver to his ear, "Hello?"

The Scene
Two sundays ago, we went for brunch at Privé Bakery & Café at the Keppel Bay Marina, off HarbourFront. It is a charming little place, with its own marina and some good (but expensive) restaurants. To get there, you will have to turn into an inconspicuous road, and then cross a long bridge.
There are a couple of restaurants, one of which is the Privé Bakery & Café. The food was good, the company was good, and it will have been perfect but for the stupid cold that was making me drowsy and sick at the same time!
The Shot
I did bring my super-duper ultra-wide-angle lens along with me. However, save for this shot, all my shots of the marina, skyline, boats etc. turned out pretty sh**e. I now realize how difficult it is to have good composition in a place like a marina... respect to those who have mastered it...!
Anyways, this shot turned out pretty decent. The unique architecture stood out. I took this in AEB mode on tripod.
The Processing
Processing this shot was an absolute nightmare. First up was the HDR of the three shots using Photomatix. The HDR turned out really good (thanks to the people sitting there who did not move for any of the three shots :o)
The only problems were the flags The HDR showed up three flags for each one (called ghosting). So, i literally spent one week cleaning up the flag.
The technique is standard HDR cleaning (available for free in my websites). You will have choose the best shot of the flags. Then adjust the brightness, curves etc. of the single image to as close to the HDR as possible. And then use a layer mask and start painting the HDR to reveal the "good" flags. The only problem was that i was trying to do all this on my macbook trackpad. Not easy...
After the clean-up, as usual, i adjusted the brightness, saturation etc to get the best possible effect.
You
As usual, pls leave any comments you have. I will be grateful for any tips that you may offer to make this better...
Have a great weekend!!!

La obra de Arthania (en oleos sobre lienzo) supera las 13000 unidades(medida radiestésica), por lo que entra de lleno en el campo emocional, sus efectos curativos puede que sean debidos precisamente a esto, es decir, como armonizadores del sistema nervioso central, a través de él, afecta positivamente a los distintos sistemas orgánicos. La pintura de Arthania, en virtud de su emisión de forma, puede ser un factor armonizador de primera magnitud. Os invito a disfrutar de esta sorprendente muestra desde una actitud positiva, serena, abierta, desde el fluir, desde la receptividad, desde el silencio. Este es el camino más seguro para percibir los impulsos curativosy transformadores que se ocultan tras los sutiles velos de la obra de Arthania.
Testado por el Geo Biologo, Javier Petralanda (blog en paginas amigas)
Explicación sobre la obra pictórica de ARTHANIA
La energía que rodea al ser humano está por todas partes, por ello es adecuado rodearse de obras bellas y armoniosas,
ya que, todo objeto, despide ondas: positivas, neutras o negativas.
Esta obra pictórica,comienza con seguros trazos circulares, ondulaciones que consiguen fascinantes formas y colores. Fractales de una policromía exquisita.
Más los dibujos, también de formas onduladas, "del sonido", inspirados en experiencias internas, vividas en otros espacios-tiempo.
En suproximidad, eleva la frecuencia vibratoria personal y del entorno. Mirando a corta distancia, ayuda adesarrollar la concentración en lo intangible.
Los tonos intensos vivos vitalizan, los suaves relajan, a veces según la obra persona o situación actúan a la vez.
Ensu proximidad limpian el campo de energía personal y del entorno, por ser transmutador de energías nocivas.
Produce efectos benéficos: en las personas animales y plantas, ya que, emanan energías positivas.
Aconsejable en decoración. Dan un toque de alegría y la vez de elegancia. Crean una atmósfera agradable... Optimizan el espacio.
Este arte expresa, estados internos, sentimientos de mi Alma, y ¡Ser! basados en experiencias elevadas, en otros mundos ínter-dimensionales...
Emiten ondas de formas positivas...

Leven onder de as van de vulkaan, dag in, dag uit... alle hotels zijn leeg en verwoest. De stad lijkt heel hallucinant. Ook de huizen zitten onder de as. Nog één hotel blijft met staats-steun open voor de enkele verdwaalde toeristen. De lokale bevolking is erg uitgedund. Alleen heel arme mensen zijn genoodzaakt om te blijven wonen. Aan ons hotel is er elke dag een ploeg paraat om de as weg te scheppen, een heel ongezond werk. De as is heel zacht en voelt aan als losse zachte poeder. Er valt voortdurend as uit de lucht en na enkele uren zit je onder het stof. Veel mensen lopen voortdurend met een masker voor de mond, om de longen te beschermen. De rode tong en tanden bij veel mensen wordt veroorzaakt door het kauwen van 'betelnut'. Een mengsel van mosterdzaadjes, kalk en beetlenoot.
De Tavurvur is een actieve stratovulkaan nabij de Papoea-Nieuw-Guineaanse stad Rabaul op de noordoostelijke punt van het eiland Nieuw-Brittannië. Het vormt het meest actieve onderdeel de Rabaulcaldera (8 bij 14 km), waarbinnen het gelegen is aan de oostelijke rand. De vulkaan is binnen de stad Rabaul berucht om de vele verwoestende uitbarstingen.

Tavurvur is an active stratovolcano near Rabaul in East New Britain province, Papua New Guinea. It is a sub-vent of the Rabaul caldera and lies on the eastern rim of the larger feature. The volcano is most well known for its devastating eruptions over Rabaul.
The volcano is the most active feature of the Rabaul caldera, and has erupted as recently as January 2009

NYC IxDA - The 7-Minute IxD Soapbox (a.k.a. Pecha Kucha)
2007-11-13 / Method / SoHo, NYC
At this fast-paced event, we're giving seven people a chance to share their ideas — for just seven minutes each. The only rule is that topic must relate to interaction design. Of course, if you simply prefer to take it all in, you're welcome to participate as an audience member.
TOPICS
Anything goes, as long as it's related to interaction design or user experience. Present some of your work; talk about a design problem you're facing; rant about a device you don't like; effuse about your favorite product; share some results from a usability test; question the value of market research in product development; relate an experience with redesigning a product. If you don't want to soapbox alone pair up with a friend or colleague. Heck, you could even do a parody of your favorite IxD guru, if you're so inclined! If it's something you're interested in, chances are very high we're interested too.
GOAL
To connect people in our diverse and powerful community who are interested in having their interaction design neurons stimulated. This event will be an extraordinary grab-bag of local voices. Practice your speaking and presenting skills! Spark some debate! Make new friends and enemies! Gain new insights!
FORMAT
Speakers may use presentation slides, show off short multimedia, demonstrate something online, or just shoot from the hip. Just make sure it's 7 minutes and no longer. After the seven soaps, we'll hold Q&A and/or discussion. Caveat: Nomenclature debates about our roles and what we call ourselves as practitioners (IA, UX, IxD, HCI, CHI, UCD, etc.) will be reserved for anyone wishing to go to the nearest pub after the event.

Hastings is a town and Borough on the coast of East Sussex in England. It includes originally separate settlements, as well as the inevitable growth of the town through the building of new estates.
In historical terms, Hastings can claim fame through its connection with the Norman conquest of England; and also because it became one of the medieval Cinque Ports. Hastings was, for centuries, an important fishing port; although much reduced, it has the largest beach-based fishing fleet in England. As with many other such places, the town became a watering place in the 1760s, and then, with the coming of the railway, a seaside resort.
The Net Huts - These tarred and weatherboarded structures date from the 17th century, before the Stade developed. At this time, there was nowhere to spread the nets to dry so they were made as tall as possible to give Fisherman enough space. Restored with a Heritage Lottery Grant, they're now one of the town's most historic landmarks.
The Stade - The stretch of shingle beach from which the fishing fleet launches has been known as 'The Stade' (the Saxon term for 'landing place') for over a thousand years.

Though it looks small, George Mason's home is quite spacious inside. One of my favourite features was the beautiful center passage or hallway; the front and back doors are, as was common in this style of home, directly across from each other. When both doors were opened, not only was the broad center hallway between the doors cooled, fresh, cool air circulated through the other rooms in the house as well. Functionality aside, though, it is a lovely thing, the main hall.
By the way, Mason, his architect, and his groundsmen did a divine job of designing the home in coordination with the grounds. For one thing, the house was meant to stand alone, with no mature trees growing near it; according to the website, "Mason meant it to be seen standing isolated in space". The black-heart cherry tree-lined drive lead your eyes to the home along a twelve-foot-wide carriage drive; the Palladian portico you see is also twelve feet wide, as is Gunston Hall's aforementioned center passage. The rear, riverfront portico is twelve feet wide, as is the gravel path through the center of the rear garden leading toward the south and the Potomac river. The effect is quite beautiful.
The small building you see on the left side of the frame is the kitchen. The location was interesting to me, because to get to the dining room, slaves would bring the food into the hallway from the kitchen yard (there is a door and hallway leading from the center passage to the kitchen yard), past the Mr. and Mrs. Mason's bedroom on one side and the informal family dining/sitting room on the other, across the great hall, and into the dining room. Weird.
Tomorrow is the 13th birthday of my daughter.
The picture on this card is taken by my ex-husband and her father 13 years ago, (it's me being pregnant)
we used it on her birth announcement.
I am not sure if I will have the time to shoot a selfie tomorrow.
But for now I am going to use this shot for the invitations I have to send.
Saterday will be the big party for family and friends.

The great thing about Wales is that all trails lead to a pub.
And because I'm not too good on my feet at the moment,,,I'm tending to see more pub than trail.
Seeing as my daughter knows how to handle a screwmount Leica, I get to be in some of the photographs when she's around too. This shot looks like it's 6x6 format, but that's because it was the last shot on the roll, and for some reason the right hand edge got wrecked, so I had to crop it.
Of course, all the writing in Wales and the Welsh Language (like on the front of this pub) is back to front, relative to English, because we read written Welsh from right to left, like the peoples of The Levant, from whom, as Welsh people, we are all descended.
In the far West of Wales, in Cardyland, they often speak it backwards too, though this practice is slowly dying out as free schooling for children over 8 years old spreads there, thanks to the enlightened policies of our fairly recent and independent Welsh Assembly Government. Also, they wish to avoid the label of Satanism.
Unlike other countries, which either drive on the left or right hand side of the road, in our little but very ancient country, we drive on both, alternating between each side depending on the phase of the moon, and whether the month has a letter 'R' (written backwards) in it or not.
It's all to do with Welsh Druidism and the ancient rights of cattle drovers.
A tshirt I designed for Yahoos to wear at the PHP Zend Conference 2008.
$ar = array('Creating kick ass products for my friends', 'Creating kick ass products for the world!');

echo $ar[count($ar) ^ strlen("PHP")];
} while (@yahoo());
My first attempt to do image filtering using the flickr API with a PHP script.
It first ramdomizes a list of all my groups an then checks the first 10 images in each group. I only show images that are favorited at least once and have all sizes available.
The API calls are rather slow. Therefore this script is not really suitable for interactive viewing.
The script itself is in the first comment. The function DumpArrayToTable comes from selfphp.com/code_snippets/code_snippet.php?id=56. I need it to figure out the arrays that phpflickr returns after it calls the flickr API.

ENGLISH
The Indian Peafowl, Pavo cristatus, also known as the Common Peafowl or the Blue Peafowl, is one of the species of bird in the genus Pavo of the Phasianidae family known as peafowl. The Indian Peafowl is a resident breeder in the Indian subcontinent. The peacock is the national bird of India.
The species is found in dry semi-desert grasslands, scrub and deciduous forests. It forages and nests on the ground but roosts on top of trees. It eats mainly seeds, but also some insects, fruits and reptiles.
Peafowl are most notable for the male's extravagant display feathers which, despite actually growing from their back, are known as a 'tail' or a train. This train is in reality not the tail but the enormously elongated upper tail coverts. The tail itself is brown and short as in the peahen. They are a result of sexual selection and are displayed as part of courtship.

CASTELLANO
Pavo cristatus (Pavo real, Pavo real de la India, o Pavo real de pecho azul) es una de las dos especies de aves pertenecientes al género Pavo, que desde tiempos antiguos destacó entre los animales admirados por el hombre a causa del extraordinario abanico policromado que constituye la cola de los machos.
El pavo cristatus es una especie sexualmente dimórfica. Su longevidad es de aproximadamente 15 años, aunque se conocen casos de especímenes que vivieron en cautiverio más de 20 años.
Provisto de un pico fuerte, su cabeza esta cubierta de un plumaje azul brillante y coronada por un copete de plumas. El macho de la especie alcanza una longitud de 2,20 m y un peso de hasta 5 Kg: Su plumaje de color azul iridiscente con reflejos verdosos es característica, pero sin duda el principal atractivo lo constituyen sus más de cien plumas coberteras de hasta 2 m de longitud, que -al desplegarse - forman un majestuoso abanico tachonado por ocelos en tonos dorado, azul y verde.
Estrictamente el abanico no es la "cola" ni las alas del animal-de color pardo- se presenta por atrás y abajo de las coberteras, aunque pasa desapercibida ante la magnificencia del penacho desplegado. El macho puede abrirlo a partir de los tres años de edad, y las coberteras se renuevan anualmente. Por esta causa durante el otoño los machos quedan privados de su fastuoso adorno.
