This is the shape I was looking for, very hard to synchronize.

It's a combination of sound generated drops like this and collision like this.

The subwoofer vibration generates the "pillar", then another drop collides on top of it forming the "hat".

 

Too bad the flash got bad synch in this one, you can see some ghosting, mouse over the image.

Esta é a forma que eu estava procurando, super difícil de sincronizar.

É uma combinação de gotas geradas por som como esta e uma colisão como esta.

A vibração de um subwoofer cria o "pilar", daí outra gota colide em cima dele formando o "chapéu".

 

A má notícia é que deu um problema de sincronização de flash nessa, dá pra ver os fantasmas, passe com o mouse em cima da foto.

One of the many ground squirrels (aka marmots or groundhogs) of the Grand Canyon. Taken on the South Rim trail with a 55mm (equiv. 82mm), no crop. Despite the signs, the cute furry balls are clearly fed by the hords of tourists, otherwise they wouldn't display this behaviour (and size !).

An egret at the Lafitte Nature Study Park, Lafitte, Louisiana. Several egrets are nesting in the back of the park in the cypress trees. The trees are full of spanish moss, hanging much like curtains! This bird is a female and she rules this nest! When the male brings a stick she takes the stick and puts it in the nest then hits him with her bill so he will leave and get another! Then she stands there and continues to display until he returns! Hmmm...she thinks like she is human! :-)

Perso lungo la strada…

 

Smarrimento tutto intorno al proprio mondo, tutto è smarrito, tutto sembra non essere al proprio posto, ti svegli la mattina sudato, memore di un sogno, ma che sogno non è…

 

Un incubo…

 

Ne prendi coscienza subito dopo, ma non ti ricordi il perché di tutta questa agitazione, come se da fantasma, non stessi piu li, o meglio, il mondo non è piu tuo, chissa dove sei, chissa cosa sei…

 

Tutto ti sembra cosi irreale, tutto ti scivola dalle mani, tutto diventa difficile da gestire, ma quello che ti preoccupa è capire, se è la realtà…

 

O la memoria del sonno…

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Lost along the road.

 

Dismay everything around his own world, everything is lost, everything seems not to be to the really place, you wake up the morning, mindful of a dream, but that it is not a dream...

 

A nightmare...

 

You take later immediately conscience Of it, but you don't remember yourself the why of this whole nervousness, as if from ghost, anymore them I was not, or better, the world is not your anymore, who knows where you are, who knows thing you are...

 

Everything seems yourself so unreal, everything it slips you from the hands, everything it becomes difficult to manage, but what worries yourself is to understand, if it is the reality...

 

Or the memory of the sleep...

I really like pictures of weeds...I don't know why but I do. Anyway, I've had this one processed and sitting on my computer for weeks. I've hesitated posting it because I don't know if I'm the only one who finds this cool or not. I think sometimes I care too much about what others think of an image instead of focusing on the fact that I love it and that's all that really matters.

 

Looking forward to hearing if I'm alone on this one or not. Feeling a little vulnerable about this...I think because I love this weed stuff so much and it's kind of the direction I want to go in with more photos but I have no clue if anyone else would like this kind of thing!! Help...I need someone to snap me out of this funk today.

 

Thanks in advance! :)

Something I enjoyed about this view was the teamwork by the faraway mountains and the promenade - it seems they follow one-another out into the bay, with the mountain range gradually disappearing behind the sailboats.

I don't really need to say much here. It was snowing most of the day and while being agitatedly watched by his partner, this swan decided to go on a walkabout on the frozen lake.

Dance me to the end of love

 

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin

Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in

Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove

Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the end of love

Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone

Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon

Show me slowly what I only know the limits of

Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the end of love

For the first round of this year’s RogueOlympics over on RogueBricks I decided to build a little love letter to late nights and captivating books, a combination I would often be consumed by when I was younger. I hope you like it!

 

The RogueOlympics require you to stick to 101 elements or less so this little scene was built with a total of 92 bricks. It’s always great fun to work around those restrictions as it’s so different from most other contests, so of course I had to join.

 

Feel free to join this ongoing contest yourself! You can join each week for a different theme that needs to be built with 101 elements or less.

 

Thanks to Isaac for some help with the title!

The porch.

Somogytúr, former home and atelier of the artist Kunffy Lajos (1869-1962). The building of the mansion (today a museum as well as the building of the atelier) was built by the Bosnyak family in the 18th century, and later became the property of dr. Lajos Kunffy. The notable artist studied abroad, settled in Paris and lived there for twenty years. His work was introduced in Munchen and Paris. He was presented the cross of the chevalier of ther Legion of Honor in the French capital. Kunffy and his family finally settled down at home (in Somogytúr, and Budapest) in 1913. The artist's atelier stands not far from the mansion in the park, designed by Kunffy himself.

He was a good friend of the artist, Rippl-Rónai.

www.smmi.hu/kiallitasok/videki/kiallitohelyeink/kunffy-la...

A somogytúri Kunffy Lajos Emlékmúzeum két épülete: Kunffy egykori otthona, egy XVIII. századi kisnemesi kúria és egy fehéroszlopos, timpanonnal koronázott görög templomot idéző műterem. E kettőt kellemes park fogja össze.

Az 1000 holdas földbirtok is 40 éven át Kunffyé volt, benne 30 hold szőlő, 20 hold halastó, továbbá gyümölcsös, híresen jól termő almafákkal; ugyanakkor a marhatenyésztés is a birtok büszkesége volt. Az itt virágzó művészet és gazdálkodás egyedülálló volt Magyarországon. Kunffy kiállított festményei majdnem egy évszázadot átfogó ívben nyújtanak ma is eleven élményt a sok elmúlt gazdagságból.

Excerpt from fpf.ccidahk.gov.hk/en/location/detail.php?id=76:

 

Tsuen Wan Jockey Club Tak Wah Park was designed along the classical Chinese garden theme. The park, with an area of about 1.63 hectares, is located in Tsuen Wan town centre. Being a Chinese-style garden that is rarely found in Tsuen Wan, Tak Wah Park provides a fine place for relaxation in the bustling town area. Sponsored by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, construction works of the park were carried out in 2 phases. Phase I was completed in 1989, while Phase II was completed in 1995. Modelled on the setup of a classical Chinese garden, the park has rock mountains made from Taihu rock, thick foliage, ornamental lakes, ancient village houses, a "pai lau", stone bridge, a stone boat, a pavilion and a verandah. A "Chess Garden" was built in the park, where giant stone-carved pieces of Chinese chess are used to display the endgame for the deliberation of chess lovers. In addition, there are 2 theme gardens in the park, namely, "Camellia Garden" and "Herb Garden", where different species of Camellia and herb are grown. Tak Wah Gallery and Environmental Resources Centre are converted from ancient village houses on the site. They are managed by Leisure and Cultural Services Department and Environmental Protection Department respectively.

The Rice Fields of Longsheng are about a two hour drive from the Chinese city of Giulin (Li River fame). This was taken from one of the many lookouts in the mountainside village of Ping'an. Although we didn't have the best of weather the rain did stop long enough for a few nice photo opportunities, like this one.

Peacock bass is the common name in English for several species of tropical, freshwater fish of the genus Cichla native to the Amazon River basin of South America. These tropical fish are not true basses, but are rather cichlids. They also inhabit the waters of Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Malaysia, Panama, Singapore and parts of the USA (Guam, Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and the United States Virgin Islands).

 

Sport fishermen have made these cichlids prized game fish for their fighting qualities, so much so that many travel agencies now arrange fishing trips to Brazil and Florida specifically to catch peacock bass.

 

Renowned American peacock bass fisherman and fishing author, Larry Larsen, refers to them as "freshwater bullies" due to their ferocious nature when hunting and their tendency to damage and sometimes destroy fishing gear when striking. Also, the most common techniques for catching them are similar to those for catching largemouth bass with the notable exception that peacock bass usually won't strike artificial worms -- a widely used lure among largemouth bass fisherman. In addition, fly fishing techniques, including lures such as poppers and large streamers, are becoming increasingly popular for catching these cichlids.

 

Despite their popularity among anglers, some naturalists have identified peacock bass as potential pests for causing ecological imbalances in some of their introduced areas.

La Aljafería (en árabe: قصر الجعفرية Qasr al-Ya`fariyya) es un palacio fortificado construido en Zaragoza en la segunda mitad del siglo XI por iniciativa de Al-Muqtadir como residencia de los reyes hudíes de Saraqusta. Este palacio de recreo (llamado entonces «Qasr al-Surur» o Palacio de la Alegría) refleja el esplendor alcanzado por el reino taifa en el periodo de su máximo apogeo político y cultural.

 

Su importancia radica en que es el único testimonio conservado de un gran edificio de la arquitectura islámica hispana de la época de las Taifas. De modo que, si se conserva un magnífico ejemplo del Califato de Córdoba, su Mezquita (s. X), y otro del canto de cisne de la cultura islámica en Al-Ándalus, del s. XIV, La Alhambra de Granada, se debe incluir en la tríada de la arquitectura hispano-musulmana La Aljafería de Zaragoza (s. XI) como muestra de las realizaciones del arte taifa, época intermedia de reinos independientes anterior a la llegada de los almorávides.

 

Las soluciones adoptadas en la ornamentación de la Aljafería, como la utilización de arcos mixtilíneos y de los salmeres en «S», la extensión del ataurique calado en grandes superficies o la esquematización y abstracción progresiva de las yeserías de carácter vegetal, influyeron decisivamente en el arte almorávide y almohade tanto del Magreb como de la Península Ibérica. Asimismo, la transición de la decoración hacia motivos más geométricos está en la base del arte nazarí.

 

Tras la reconquista de Zaragoza en 1118 por Alfonso I El Batallador pasó a ser residencia de los reyes cristianos de Aragón, con lo que la Aljafería se convirtió en el principal foco difusor del mudéjar aragonés. Fue utilizada como residencia regia por Pedro IV el Ceremonioso y posteriormente, en la planta principal, se llevó a cabo la reforma que convirtió estas estancias en palacio de los Reyes Católicos en 1492. En 1593 experimentó otra reforma que la convertiría en fortaleza militar, primero según diseños renacentistas (que hoy se pueden observar en su entorno, foso y jardines) y más tarde como acuartelamiento de regimientos militares. Sufrió reformas continuas, y grandes desperfectos, sobre todo con los Sitios de Zaragoza de la Guerra de la Independencia hasta que finalmente fue restaurada en la segunda mitad del siglo XX y actualmente acoge las Cortes de Aragón.

 

En su origen la construcción se hizo extramuros de la muralla romana, en el llano de la saría o lugar donde los musulmanes desarrollaban los alardes militares conocido como La Almozara. Con la expansión urbana a través de los años, el edificio ha quedado dentro de la ciudad. Se ha podido respetar a su alrededor un pequeño entorno ajardinado que le aísla incluso de la autopista que pasa a escasos metros de allí.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The Aljafería Palace (Arabic:قصر الجعفرية Qasr Aljafariya, Spanish: Palacio de la Aljafería) is a fortified medieval Islamic palace built during the second half of the 11th century in the Moorish taifa of Zaragoza of Al-Andalus, present day Zaragoza, Spain. It was the residence of the Banu Hud dynasty during the era of Abu Jaffar Al-Muqtadir after abolishing Banu Tujibi of Kindah dynasty. the palace reflects the splendor attained by the kingdom of the taifa of Zaragoza at the height of its grandeur. The palace currently contains the Cortes (regional parliament) of the autonomous community of Aragon.

 

The structure holds unique importance in that it is the only conserved testimony of a large building of Spanish Islamic architecture of the era of the Taifas (independent kingdoms).

 

After the capture of Zaragoza in 1118 by Alfonso I of Aragon, the Aljaferia became the residence of the Christian kings of the Kingdom of Aragon and as such was converted into the focal point for spread of the Mudéjar Architecture of Aragon. It was the birthplace of Saint Isabel of Portugal in the year 1271. It was used as the royal residence by Peter IV of Aragon and subsequently, on the principal building site, a renovation was carried out that converted these chambers into the palace of the Catholic Monarchs in 1492. In 1593, the structure experienced another renovation that converted it into a military base, first according to Renaissance designs (which today can be observed in its moat and gardens) and later as military quarters. The building suffered continuous alterations and considerable imperfections, above all with the Siege of Zaragoza during the Peninsular War until it was finally restored in the second half of the 20th century and currently it houses the Cortes or autonomous community legislative assembly of Aragon.

 

In the original construction, extra ramparts were made in the open field surrounding the Aljaferia. With urban expansion over the years, the building has remained inside of the city. Yet the city of Zaragoza has not been able to honor the landscaped surroundings of the Aljaferia. A freeway passes only a few meters away.

I'm pleasantly surprised but this crop (as well as the original) has been explored (May 11, 2010) - Thank you!!

 

A couple of my good Flickr friends (wesbs and Jane in Colour)

convinced me to post a square crop of my magnifying glass & coloured slinky glass and plastic #2 image.

 

Thanks wesbs for the original suggestion and to Jane in Colour for backing it up.

If you haven't seen either of their streams already then I strongly recommend you take a peek!

just because i am in that kind of a mood yet again “letting myself be penetrated gently by this (reverie), by the serenity of the sky and the melancholy of the moment . . . one of those ineffable moments when one feels something in himself which is going to sleep and something which is awakening.” -Victor Hugo from The Poetics of Reverie by Gaston Bachelard

 

2008 is about to sleep. 2009 is astir. time for both looking back and looking forward without forgetting to look into what is NOW.

ABOUT THE IMAGE - this is a blend of two images. one, a self-portrait, was posted here on Flickr last May 2008. the other was an image i took just yesterday - saw this rope hanging from a tree in front of my friend's house. i did not add any texture to this composition - the textures were provided by Mother Nature - the defocused branches and leaves in the rope shot (see my comment below)

This photo resumes well why I shoot RAW and HDR.

 

RAW, because many cameras (especially Canon) would struggle with White Balance in this situation. Out of the camera, the photo had a pretty strong orange cast on it, the carousel had almost not colors. Of course, the blue sky is a bit weird but I preferred it this way.

I could set up my WB properly when taking the shot but that would be so much time consuming, so RAW is my way.

 

HDR because there is not way I would have got all the details in the carousel being dark at night and lit be strong lamps in comparaison. Also, the moon would have been much brighter and over exposed.

 

!!! Happy Wednesday !!!

The fellas were a pleasure to work with. They were super laid back, very easy to work with and real polite. We had a really good time shooting this, with the exception of ridiculous amounts of bugs. Colin (middle) lives on a lake outside of Richmond and that is were we shot. Right behind those trees is a beautiful lake, but it attracts of lot of bugs.

 

We hung all the lights together and the guys made the power supplies themselves to power up the lights through a small generator. Since it was so dark and I didn't want to kill the ambient light from the bulbs, I ended up shooting with a AB-400 with my octobox on it, but without the white diffusion panels and only used the modeling lamp. Overall, it was a good shoot and I pretty happy with the results!

 

Lighting: AB-400 with octobox in front and above. Modeling lamp only.

# Now; some individuals engage transition within physical focus in what appears to be a more dramatic manner, in which they may generate what you would view as unusual experiences. Some generate the experience that you term to be Alzheimer’s dis-ease, which is actually an individual generating transition in a concentrated manner within physical focus, in which the individual is not focusing their attention in merely this one manifestation or this one area of consciousness. Therefore !, to you they appear to be drifting or not present.

 

Einige Personen sind auf eine anscheinend dramatischere Art im physischen Fokus in Transition und machen vielleicht für euch ungewöhnliche Erfahrungen. Einige erfahren etwas, das ihr Alzheimer nennt, als eine ganz konzentrierte Transition im physischen Fokus, in der die Person seine Aufmerksamkeit nicht nur auf diese eine Manifestation oder diesen einen

Bewusstseinsbereich richtet. Deswegen kommt es euch so vor als würde sie keinen Halt haben oder wäre nicht gegenwärtig.

Threats

 

The decline in gorilla numbers is mainly attributed to the loss and degradation of their forest habitat, which has been relentlessly cleared to make way for agricultural and logging practices (4). Increasingly, the trade in bushmeat is posing more of a threat to the survival of the species and cleared forests are ever more accessible to hunters. The demand for meat has increased from both road labourers and a growing urban market (7). Western gorillas are very susceptible to the illegal bushmeat trade, as gorilla meat is viewed as a symbol of wealth and prestige (8). Male gorillas will actively defend their females and offspring if their group encounters a threat, and this increases their chances of being killed by a hunter. Following the death of the silverback, a gorilla group is disrupted and will often split up. Recently, it has been discovered that the Western lowland gorilla has been decimated by not only the commercial bushmeat trade, but also the Ebola virus (1). From 1992 to 2007, it is thought that around one third of the total population found in protected areas was killed by this lethal virus (1).
