Day 94 of 365
I'm getting close to 100! Today I checked out Aaron Nace's tutorial on fairy dust on his blog and then used it to create part of this background in Photoshop. After which I used Picasa to focus soften part of the picture. I'm really happy with the results. I'll have to play around more soon.

Thousands demonstrated on Friday in Tahrir Square, demanding public trial of Mubarak, his interior ministry Habib el-Adly, and other regime figures.
The square and the surrounding streets since early morning have been emptied from all police and military presence. Most of the established political forces, most notably the Muslim Brothers, did not take part in the demonstrations.
The families of the martyrs were present, and demanded speedy trials of the police murderers, as it's becoming clear day by day that they will get away with what they did. More shockingly, most police officers who are currently undergoing trial still hold their positions (or have been promoted)! Demonstrators also denounced the brutal police crackdown on the protests in the square on Tuesday night and Wednesday.
Protesters marched, in solidarity with the detainees, by 4pm on the ministerial cabinet headquarters and the interior ministry. Policemen from inside the interior ministry's compound threw rocks and were making provocative gestures with their hands. Protesters responded by rocks and a shower of insults and chants against both the military and the police.
I've heard very strong chants, demanding the execution of Mubarak, Adly and Field Marshal Tantawi. While some are staging a sit in at the moment, others will resume protesting on Saturday, in the run up to the mass protests planned next Friday 8 July.

I'd better add a description to this! Ants and Aphids have a symbiotic relationship, although not so close that one could not live without the other, but beneficial to both parties. The Aphids suck the sap of plants. They're very good at this, but aren't very good at defending themselves from predators. Ants would like to drink the sap, but aren't very good at getting it, their mouthparts are a good strong set of jaws which happen to be very good at chasing of predators. So, the ants look after the ahpids, tending them and chasing off anything that comes near, big or small. In return the aphids produce a sugar rich liquid called honeydew, which the ant in this photo is collecting from the aphid. Symbiotic relationships like this where food is exchanged are known as trophobiosis, with the provider of the food - in this case the aphid - being the trophobiont.

New paint software!!! Incredible stuff for $29.99 US dollars. It is head over heal better than Corel painter--I mean significantly better! If you cannot see this in full size, I uploaded this to my website so you can see the incredible textures you can create with this software: www.stantonphotostudios.com/p602592670/h19453a4#h19453a4. This is a photo that I traced... On the picture at my website I have updated it a bit further
If you have access to shopping from amazon.com, here is the link to this software: www.amazon.com/Smith-Micro-Software-Inc-ARDHBX2/dp/B001AE...
On this picture the only textured are of interest is the center of the Calla lily where the pollen is. So if you can zoom in, go for that area. Also, this software allows you to make the clone colors metallic--which I did here for the center and some of the white. For $30, this is a fascinating piece of software if you like to paint. It has gazillions of features, many significantly better than Corel or other painter software.
Have a great day/night!
A just for fun session but the post-processing wasn't fun anymore. On the left side was a picture on the wall, on the right was a window. First, I replaced both by gradient filled polygons. Although the edited part was matching the original colours, I decided to replace the whole background. The original tone was a chocolate brown colour but for the conversion, a not so dark tone might have been better, I think. The b&w conversion was made with the channel mixer (60% red, 25% blue, 15% green) in Photoshop.
Unfortunately I just had a single Speedlite 550 EX, so it was pretty tricky to get the highlights in her eyes and a natural looking light from above. I held the camera in portrait orientation, the flash with a bouncer was turned on approx. 60° towards the celing, so some light went still straight on her eyes and created the highlights while most of the light came as an indirect lighting from the celing. Sometimes the basics in physics and maths can be quite helpful :-)
Eine nur-so-zum-Spaß-Aufnahme, aber die Nachbearbeitiung war dann alles andere als lustig. Auf der linken Seite hing ein Foto an der Wand, rechts war ein Fenster. Zuerst habe ich beide durch Vielecke ersetzt, die mit einem Farbverlauf gefüllt wurden. Obwohl ich die Farben in den eingefügten Flachen so hinbekommen hatte wie im Rest der Aufnahme, entschied ich mich dann trotzdem den ganzen Hintergrund zu ersetzen. Im Originalbild ist die Farbe der Wand ein Schokoladenbraun, aber ich denke für die s/w-Umwandlung wäre ein hellerer Ton besser gewesen. Die s/w-Umwandlung erfolgte in Photoshop über den Kanalmixer ( (60% rot, 25% blau, 15% grün)
Leider hatte ich nur einen Speedlite 550 EX, so war es ziemlich schwierig Highlights in die Augen zu setzen und noch ein natürlich wirkendes Lich von oben zu bekommen. So hielt ich die Kamera hochkant und drehte den Blitz mit einem Diffusor etwa 60° auf die Decke, so ging immer noch etwas Licht auf ihre Augen und sorgte für den Glanz während das meiste Licht als indirektes Licht von der Decke reflektiert wurde. Manchmal sind die Grundlagen der Physik und Mathematik eben doch ganz hilfreich.
Despite its beauty and popularity, the Palace closed in 1978, and unsurprisingly began to crumble. Some of the windows were smashed, the marquee began to rust. Thankfully, it didn't take long for residents to realize that this gem would be lost forever should no one do anything, and in 1983, Cumberland Heritage began making noise about restoring and saving the Palace.
Still, little was done until 1989, when the Palace was listed in David Naylor's "Great American Movie Theatres". Beginning in the 90s, Downtown Crossville, Inc., a group of citizens, began the drive to save what was left of the Palace. The city purchased the property in '93 thanks to DCI's push, and in '94, the National Historic Register added the Palace to its list.
By 1996, the people of Crossville had approved the funding of a bond to restore the Palace so it could be used as a community auditorium. TNDOT also donated over $230,000 to the cause. More importantly (if you ask me), many private corporations donated money, while students and other locals donated their time and bodies for work in the theatre itself.
The Palace had her grand reopening in February of 2001, and the restoration has led to a revival of the entire downtown area where the Palace sits. Today, she hosts debates, fundraisers, music, pageants, various entertainments, and, of course, classic film.
It made me smile to see that the Palace is referred to as a "jewel" and "gem", because that is exactly what I said about it without realizing that's how locals see it. Though not large in stature, she's definitely large in style and class, isn't she?
I wonder how long before we can look back an laugh at having to sign up to iffy-Wifi spots when travelling. It was actually pretty good once you got past the strange login.

For a week, Lee and myself left the Hebrides in the hopeful search for a new home on the mainland.
We headed across Scotland to Aberdeenshire and back, so most of these photos are from this trip including the Isle of Skye.
We stayed at Glenside Stables, a stables managed by Lee's animal-mad daughter Abby! There we saw the grandchildren for the first time in months and of course the many animals including a Roe Deer.
This lovely wee creature was abandoned by its mother and is being hand reared by Abby. As a result, it follows her around like its mother, plays happily with the dogs and the children and will curl up happily with Theo, the toddler.
So thank you to Abby and family for your hospitality and here's a link to their Facebook page:

Las dos principales consolas de la actual generación, Xbox One y PlayStation 4, se presentaron inicialmente durante 2013 con el negro como color principal. Algunos detalles también estuvieron disponibles desde el primer momento con otras tonalidades, pero el cuerpo principal de ambos cacharros se ha mantenido siempre igual. Hasta ahora.
Tanto PS4 como Xbox One tendrán sus ediciones blancas durante este año. La de Sony lo hará bajo una edición especial junto con Destiny y su blanco glaciar; por su parte, la de Microsoft en blanco aún no es oficial, aunque ya ha aparecido en algunas tiendas online: sí, Xbox One terminará llegando en blanco, y casi coincidiendo en tiempo con su compañera y contrincante de batallas.
En el caso de la Xbox One blanca os sonará porque surgió como una edición especial para empleados de Microsoft. Ahora se abriría al público y, como la PS4, también con una edición especial junto con Sunset Overdrive, una exclusividad para las de Microsoft que se especula con que vaya a lanzarse al mercado a finales de octubre. Lo lógico es que el bundle de la Xbox One blanca y Sunset Overdrive también empiece a venderse en esas fechas, claro.
Jugando al ajedrez: negras o blancas, tú elijes
Suele ser muy habitual que las consolas de escritorio se presenten primero en color negro con las salvedades de Nintendo, cuya Wii empezó vendiéndose sólo en blanco, y la Wii U en ambos colores. Tanto Microsoft como Sony han tenido affaires tanto con negro como con blanco, dependiendo del modelo con mayor o menor importancia de uno u otro.
Evidentemente el color de una videoconsola no afecta en absoluto a su rendimiento, pero también es cierto que el blanco suele ser un color muy requerido por los usuarios de tecnología, generalmente por una mera cuestión estética. En el pasado también hemos visto, incluso, ediciones especiales mucho más llamativas que los planos negro o blanco, y seguramente éstas también terminen llegando al mercado tarde o temprano.

Salve Marinera - Diana Navarro
Un día para captar imágenes especiales del Fervor marinero, del cariño de los hombres de la mar y la gran cantidad de pueblos que tienen a esta Virgen como Patrona, como esta serie tomada el año pasado en la Malagueñísima Barriada de el Palo, mañana espero estar en el Rincón de la Victoria para recordar viejos tiempos, y ver como entran los hombres de trono con ella sobre sus hombros en el mar....al atardecer...

Felicidades a todas las Carmelas
"The older generation thought nothing of getting up at five every morning - and the younger generation doesn't think much of it either. "
But maybe if mornings looked like this, they would re-think their thought. You have to admit, this does look a bit surreal!

It always warms my heart when they light Baltimore's Washington Monument during the holidays. This is the neighborhood where my brother and I grew up, and I always wanted to capture this historic site in my own way. There must be tens of thousands of shots of this monument from many different photographers.
As for the technical stuff, I started off grabbing some 5-10 minutes exposures, but the traffic wasn't so busy on my side of the street. I wanted the church in the shot, but the other side of the street had more traffic (and more pretty light streams). Even though it was cold, I waited around til about 5:30 when the traffic was at its busiest. Thirty-second exposures seemed to be working better as well, and everything came together right before my ears froze.
Mom and Dad, this is for you.
“Un jour d’hiver, comme je rentrais à la maison, ma mère, voyant que j’avais froid, me proposa de me faire prendre, contre mon habitude, un peu de thé. Je refusai d’abord et, je ne sais pourquoi, me ravisai. Elle envoya chercher un de ces gâteaux courts et dodus appelés Petites Madeleines qui semblent avoir été moulés dans la valve rainurée d’une coquille de Saint-Jacques. Et bientôt, machinalement, accablé par la morne journée et la perspective d’un triste lendemain, je portai à mes lèvres une cuillerée du thé où j’avais laissé s’amollir un morceau de madeleine. Mais à l’instant même où la gorgée mêlée des miettes du gâteau toucha mon palais, je tressaillis, attentif à ce qui se passait d’extraordinaire en moi. […]
Et tout d’un coup le souvenir m’est apparu. Ce goût c’était celui du petit morceau de madeleine que le dimanche matin à Combray […] ma tante Léonie m’offrait après l’avoir trempé dans son infusion de thé ou de tilleul. La vue de la petite madeleine m’avait rien rappelé avant que je n’y eusse goûté […]. Mais, quand d’un passé ancien rien ne subsiste, après la mort des êtres, après la destruction des choses, seules, plus frêles mais plus vivaces, plus immatérielles, plus persistantes, plus fidèles, l’odeur et la saveur restent encore longtemps, comme des âmes, à se rappeler, à attendre, à espérer, sur la ruine de tout le reste, à porter sans fléchir, sur leur gouttelette presque impalpable, l’édifice immense du souvenir.
Et dès que j’eus reconnu le goût du morceau de madeleine trempé dans le tilleul que me donnait ma tante […] aussitôt la vieille maison grise sur la rue, où était sa chambre, vint comme un décor de théâtre […] et avec la maison, la ville, la Place où on m’envoyait avant déjeuner, les rues où j’allais faire des courses depuis le matin jusqu’au soir et par tous les temps, les chemins qu’on prenait si le temps était beau […] et les nymphéas de la Vivonne, et les bonnes gens du village et leurs petits logis et l’église et tout Combray et ses environs, tout cela qui prend forme et solidité, est sorti, ville et jardins, de ma tasse de thé.”
Marcel Proust (1913) - Du coté de chez Swann, À la Recherche du temps perdu

A pelican busy prunning himself/herself on a cliff at La Jolla Shores in Southern California.
INFORMATION ON THE PELICAN:
A pelican is any of several very large water birds with a distinctive pouch under the beak belonging to the bird family Pelecanidae.
Along with the darters, cormorants, gannets, boobies, frigatebirds, and tropicbirds, pelicans make up the order Pelecaniformes. Modern pelicans are found on all continents except Antarctica. They occur mostly in warm regions, though breeding ranges reach 45° south (Australian Pelican, P. conspicillatus) and 60° North (American White Pelicans, P. erythrorhynchos, in western Canada). Birds of inland and coastal waters, they are absent from polar regions, the deep ocean, oceanic islands, and inland South America.
Pelicans are large birds with enormous, pouched bills. The smallest is the Brown Pelican (P. occidentalis), small individuals of which can be as little as 2.75 kg (6 lb), 106 cm (42 in) long and can have a wingspan of as little as 1.83 m (6 ft). The largest is believed to be the Dalmatian Pelican (P. crispus), at up to 15 kg (33 lb), 183 cm (72 in) long, with a maximum wingspan of nearly 3.5 m (11.5 ft). The Australian Pelican has the longest bill of any bird.
Pelicans swim well with their short, strong legs and their feet with all four toes webbed (as in all birds placed in the order Pelecaniformes). The tail is short and square, with 20 to 24 feathers. The wings are long and have the unusually large number of 30 to 35 secondary flight feathers. A layer of special fibers deep in the breast muscles can hold the wings rigidly horizontal for gliding and soaring. Thus they can exploit thermals to commute over 150 km (100 miles) to feeding areas.
Pelicans rub the backs of their heads on their preen glands to pick up its oily secretion, which they transfer to their plumage to waterproof it.
