We attended a landscape photo workshop yesterday (Sunday). Not too close - 4hr drive to location in South Moravia, Czech Rep. so we had to wake up at 4am and got back home too tired around 11pm. But it was so worth it. Location was stunning and well known by the pro photographer who was leading the workshop. And he even managed to secure ideal weather somehow LOL. Area was full of rolling hills that are used for agriculture so the fields were vibrant and varied. Sky was nice and blue almost all day with those puffy white clouds moving very fast in the strong wind and that resulted in an amazing light&shadow show on the fields.
At one moment I spotted a triangle illuminated in the sea of shadows so I immediately turned the ball head on my tripod, prefocused manually, adjusted polarizer & 1-stop hard edge grad filter, set the exposure and fired. Post process included only the adjustment of the levels to achieve better contrast, tiny bit of saturation and square crop.
Didn't have time to play with all the photos yet but this one is my personal winner - at least I think so ;) Anyways... expect more photos soon.
Thanks for looking!
Your feedback is always appreciated ;)
Looking at one of the best Calatrava shot I've ever seen in the last time (btw - chapeaux, boss!), I realized how much I'm missing architecture shots!, but since it is snowing, and I'm in a renaissance town - not so much modern architecture here!, and blah blah blah (quote from the "horrible" ;-D) - and this, and that - ok, stop talking! -
... have a nice evening :-)
(back later, dinner time here!)
Brighter Days
Time keeps moving on
Through the sunshine and the storm
And my dreams are set in stone
And someday I’ll be who I want to be
For now I’ll wait
For the sun to shine again
And for now I’ll wait
For the rain to pass away
And I’m looking for the brighter days
When all my hurts seem to fade away
I’m looking for the brighter days to come my way
Faces come and faces go
But none seem to look my way
And walls have stood and walls have fallen
But my heart seems to wait
For now I’ll sit at the end of the road
And for now I’ll wait
At the end of the pathway
I’ll see the sun one day shine upon me
I’ll see the sun one day
And watch the nighttime turn to morning
But for now it all comes back around

This shot was done for MACRO MONDAYS' theme of 'looking up'.
The title is a reference to the Paramore song 'Looking Up'.
My favourite of my Macro Monday shots this week is something to look up to - please take a look if you haven't already - it is one of those shots where the thumbnail doesn't do it justice!

Any comments on format, look, feel etc would be welcome, still in the development, so be kind!!
In between climbs at the ASCI Showdown on June 30th, 2007, the competitors had 5 minutes to rest, stretch, contemplate, or stare aimlessly out into the crowd.

[I tried something different with these shots in my post-processing in PS. I wanted to mimic rebekka's latest portraits through lens blurring all but the core of the subject. So here, I made feathered selections of only the climbers' faces, hands, and in some cases, arms, then lens blurred the inverse. I'm happy with the results, and I will definitely have to try this again with more serious subjects.]

I love turtles and often I see them basking in the sun ...; )
Aquatic turtles love basking in natural sunlight. While heat is radiated to their bodies from their shells, they often stretch out their legs which is to collect additional heat.
P.S. After you hit the alarm, stretch! Animals and babies stretch when they wake up, but somewhere along the way, many of us adults forgot how to have a good stretch. Stretching out the muscles after waking up can help you feel more alert and less anxious throughout your day.

- BLADE RUNNER - I've seen things
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."
- BLADE RUNNER – Ho visto cose che voi umani
"Ho visto cose che voi umani non potreste immaginarvi. Navi da combattimento in fiamme al largo dei bastioni di Orione... e ho visto i raggi B balenare nel buio vicino alle porte di Tannhäuser. E tutti quei momenti andranno perduti nel tempo come lacrime nella pioggia. È tempo di morire. "

Histoire: Fortifiée au moyen âge en raison de sa position stratégique et surnommée "ville du Pape" sous la protection du pape Clément V, Belvès conserve les vestiges d'un passé tourmenté : remparts, tour de l'Auditeur, beffroi à cloche, tour de la Mairie, ancien clocher du couvent des Frères Prêcheurs, tour de l'Hôpital, château au donjon du XIIe siècle, hôtel à façade renaissance, ancienne maison des Consuls, halle aux bois et habitations troglodytiques. L'église Notre Dame de Montcuq est une ancienne prieurale bénédictine des XIIe et XIVe siècles. Source: Villages de France
History: It was fortified in the Middle Ages because of its strategic position and came to be known as the "Pope’s city" as it was under Clement V’s protection. Belvès bears witness to a tormented past: walls and the auditeur’s tower (11th c); the belfry (15th c) the city hall tower, the castle (14th/15th), the hotel with a Renaissance façade and troglodyte dwellings.

While taking an early morning walk on the famous "orla Bardot" (its a long and beautiful typical sidewalk along the sea) of Buzios (a fantastic seasort-fishing village) in Brazil to get some good light and on my way to the fishermens dock (great experience I manage to dive and jump and swim with huge turtles - lucky omen they said) ... this is a view of part of a great group statue in homage to the local fishermen of this fantastic unique place in the world... all is so peaceful, the gentle sound of the waves, the smell of the sea and fresh fish .. and all kinds of boats from great
yachts to fishermens small little boats so colourful .. a delight and unforgettable walk (I was so lucky to do it with "real" locals) ... after I went back "home" to my dear friend who so kindly invited me over (she knows who she is) ... but I will never forget this very early walk and the feeling of total joy while diving from the dock into the emerald sea with all the kinds of sea creatures (ah the huge sea turtles did not bite me !) - just magical! So my friends have a great Summer (if you are in this part of the world) and if not just enjoy.
Also I would like to THANK all my dear Friends and Contacts for their wishes on my birthday.

Please check out 'High Hopes -- Rained Upon' Large and on Black
I was real excited about combining three loves today and all were washed away.
I had hoped t go to the NH High Hopes Family Fun Festival complete with hot air ballooon launches and the 10th Annual All-British "Show of Dreams" Car Show with the intent of participating and fining lots of great things to photograph.
Well...it's all a wash today as the big event of the day is rain. I think I'll just do laundry.
Luz de otoño
Afuera; en las calles hay olvido de vehementes tormentas.
Afuera; desde las ramas de un árbol sigue brillando el sol.
Afuera; sopla el viento revolviendo las hojas apagadas
y el silencio se torna más mudo todavía.
Hay un gris que despierta en el aire deshojando mi aliento,
hay un rumbo que me invita a tomarlo por las veredas solitarias.
Seguirlo es, para mí, una manera de decir;
caminemos juntos.
Otoño siempre tiene algo de sueño escondido entre sus pliegues.
Es la manera de decirlo todo sin pronunciar palabra.
Es la pausa de algo, el por qué de alguien.
Es estar solo y a la vez acompañado
en la intimidad indecente de la conciencia.
El repiqueteo constante de una agradable nostalgia
que se vuelca sobre las calles que camino.
Es estar parado donde siempre quise:
sobre la sombra de un árbol desnudo.
Otoño siempre tiene algo de sueño escondido entre sus manos
para dormirlo todo.
Soñarlo es para mí una manera de decir;
ven, el otoño, más que mío es tuyo,
más que tuyo, es nuestro…
ven, para que entremedio de los árboles sin hojas,
por una vez, por esta vez, caminemos juntos.

I sometimes wish I was a child again, so that I had nothing to worry about. I could live life and enjoy everything without a care in the world. I have been worrying about my future lately because there are certain decisions that I have to make that may take me away from my family and friends. However, having God in my life has always allowed me to think and live like a child most of the time. In an instant God is able to take all my worries away. All I know is that my life is in God's hands and everything will work itself out.

This is one of my faves this one i took this

doing a hell of a lot of portraits of late and i must
say i am enjoying every second of it i could never
do this sort of stuff in london even though i want too
but its too much hassle and i no i would get a lot of grief

oh my giddy aunt, my laptop is falling apart. i think that may be the reason that i've been spending so little time on flickr of late. my mouse doesn't work half the time. photoshop is so temperamental it's almost impossible. and on top of that, my 1 key fell of last night so now it takes me ages to type a 1 or an exclamation mark, which is very frustrating. so i am now thinking i should definately invest in a new laptop soon.
anyway, that was so random! i have so many photos to upload it's ridiculous! i'm still uplaoding photos that were taken over two weeks ago when i've got some that i only took yesterday that i'd love to upload, but can't until i've finished uplaoding these. so that's that.
also, i have a project i'm starting soon! i'm a bit excited about it!
well, hope you all had/are having a lovely day/night. thanks for stopping by :)
oh, by the way, i know it's real similar to this... i realised when i was taking it. but ya'll liked that one, so why not ;)

Please View 'Bird Rays' Large On Black -or- On White
I enjoy the variety of birds silhouetted here and I especially like how they seem to be following the angle of the fading sunset's rays. Really needs to be viewed large to appreciate.
This was taken at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. Up to 3/4 of the Rocky Mountain population of Sandhill Cranes (10k) winter in the area, along with around 50K+ Snow Geese and 10s of thousands other waterfowl. The birds are flying back to where they rest at night after a day out feeding.

Red-winged Blackbird
Present throughout Canada during the nesting period, the Red-winged Blackbird nests in all the southern regions of Quebec and the Maritimes, and increasingly spends its winters in the northern United States. It prefers to settle in open and humid places, such as ditches, reed mace marshes and stream or river banks, but will also nest in drier terrain, in pasture and cultivated fields. Its diet varies with the seasons, but it feeds mainly on insects and cultivated seeds, including corn. Besides, it is a menace for farmers who find their fields ravaged by this bird. But in spite of everything, it still does them some great services, such as attacking the insects that destroy their newly-planted crops. The Red-winged Blackbird reaches 19 to 26 cm in length.
I guess you can say that the sun did not "look" this way when I took the picture, but in fact this is actually how I remember it looking. A different crop of the shot I posted some time ago.
O è il riflesso della luna o sei proprio bella, se vuoi siediti!
hai parcheggiato e camminato non sai quanto non sai dove sei, ma sei qui
lontana da te, lontana da voi, lontana da uno specchio che non dice chi sei
se sotto il cielo c'è qualcosa di speciale passerà di qui prima o poi
prima o poi, comunque tu lo sai ......

I was absolutely in awe of the colors, shapes and textures that can be found at Mono Lake particularly in the early morning hours. I haven't been there at sunset but because of its orientation with the high Sierras to the west, my hunch is the sunrises are more spectacular and yield more interesting photo opportunities than sunset.
"The lake is two hundred feet deep, and its sluggish waters are so strong with alkali that if you only dip the most hopelessly soiled garment into them once or twice, and wring it out, it will be found as clean as if it had been through the ablest of washerwomen's hands."

I guess I am one of the people being boycotted for not inviting with multiple comment and fave groups. Or perhaps it's because I've had some in Explore. I don't know the reason. Well, I am sorry but I don't believe in that and I am not on flickr to promote everyone to Explore. I don't promote myself and I am not going to promote you. If you don't want to be my contact for this reason just remove me from your list. I am too busy deleting photos from my groups that are against rules and regulation. People are so selfish and rude! I don't require my contacts to invite,comment or fave. I know, like me, people have lives and are busy and I don't always comment or invite. I try to go and fave to at least let people know I am thinking of them. You know my profile, that says who I am, if you don't like my profile you won't like me so don't add me or remove me if you already did.

So this Diorama spawned because of the last one I built. This was done simply because I felt the tiny diorama needed a friend. I had so much fun building the tank, I'm very proud of it! I actually totally forgot to put an Aayla Secura Figure in this Diorama (I currently have one on the way that I just bought, so it'll be here real soon and I'll post an updated photo of the MOC with her in it)
The tree design on this MOC was very different for me, used a lot of SNOT and Mixel Joints and I think the design is really cool, it needs to be played with more but I figured I'd test it in this built and expand on things later :)
Next up is another Bionicle, then another Clone Wars MOC, Just the one though, there won't be 'Five' of them, but they will 'Echo' some of my favourite episodes (WINK WINK)

EXPLORE #378, Sept 18/09
Yesterday I had to get out of the house and go for my walk..BANG BANG BANG go the roofers lol I decided I would go out Butterfly scouting. Last year at this time the Monarch's were abundant..This year due to cooler weather the Monarch's are fewer.....I recently read in the paper there are documented fewer numbers here in Southern Ontario..This beauty sure caught my eye yesterday in the sunshine..........;) However, I only saw two fluttering about in my "secret spot" that I found last year. So far this is my only posted Monarch shot of this summer........
Here's the article I read in our newspaper the other day ;)
www.thestar.com/article/695753
"Monarchs are especially noted for their lengthy annual migration. In North America they make massive southward migrations starting in August until the first frost. A northward migration takes place in the spring. The monarch is the only butterfly that migrates both north and south as the birds do on a regular basis. But no single individual makes the entire round trip."

I wanted to try something a bit different here, so this is a shot of the incredibly hot Wadi Rum desert in Jordan that has been slightly tweaked in post processing to "cool" the image a bit.
Let me know what you think.
there is something about this that i like
urgh, i have to stop playing with my photos and go to bed!
tonight kate, alex, tom and i made dinner and took it on a picnic to my green hill, it was raining and there was lightning and such but that made it more perfect.
we watched the fireworks from the show while on the hill,
and then decided to drive to the show and try to get in
but they wouldn't let us in for free (even though it was closing in like half an hour anyway)
so i poked my camera through the fence and took some photos
most of this night we spoke in scottish accents...... i dont know why.. aha

Our workshop group hiked the 1.5 miles upward to the Delicate Arch for a sunset shoot. The hike at 5600 ft was not easy but I was rewarded with this incredible scene.
The Lasal Mountains are on the horizon.
For composition, I did not place the arch in the center of the frame but slightly off-center. I moved back and forth until I got the mountain peaks just where I wanted them through the arch. I also included some of the formation on the left. The sandstone plateua slopes gently downward to the right, giving some nice diagonal lines to the composition.
The far side of this arch is a shear drop into the canyon beyond, which is why you never see any images of the arch from that side.
It is difficult to get the scale of this arch. I will post an image next with a person in it for scale. When you get up close to this arch, it is anything but delicate. It is massive and the western leg is very thick. I guess it was named Delicate Arch because it looks that way from a distance.
