VIEW ON BLACK.

This may shock you but i made my decison and im going to major in photography ive only been shooting for 4 months now but one day ill be good enough to be a professional if I keep up with it and ive never loved anything more in my entire life.

Probably the first non vintage edit i ever uploaded this is pretty much sooc used cs4 for a little tweaking.

I LOVE this picture I can see how i was subconciously inspired by my favorite photographer.

Glass Is In The Detail

 

One of those rare occassions whereby I'm pleased with a photograph of architecture ! This photo' was taken from the rear of the Cathederal as there is far to much light pollution and street furniture obstructions in and around the stepped Main Entrance situated in Mount Pleasant !

 

People often ask 'Why "Metropolitan"?' One obvious answer is that Liverpool is fortunate enough to possess two mighty symbols of the Christian faith in the two Cathedrals which face each other at opposite ends of the aptly-named Hope Street ! Both are dedicated to Christ: the Anglican one to Christ and the Blessed Virgin and the Catholic one to Christ the King, so it helps avoid confusion to refer to one as 'Liverpool Cathedral' and the other as 'The Metropolitan Cathedral ' !

 

A term of endearment bestowed locally is " Paddys Wig-Wam " !

 

But the term "Metropolitan" indicates a wider remit than just Liverpool or indeed Merseyside, for this building is the seat (Greek 'Cathedra') of the Archbishop of Liverpool who is the spiritual leader of all the faithful of the Northern Province of the Catholic Church in England comprising seven dioceses in all !

Cette année, j'ai eu la chance, à l'occasion du brame du cerf, de rencontrer cet animal à l'approche très difficile pour le photographe, en particulier.

En effet, le cerf ne pointe le museau dehors qu'au lever du jour ou à la tombée de la nuit; au moment où la lumière est très faible, de plus il s'expose très peu de temps , a un odorat très puissant qu'il est difficile de tromper.

 

Pas facile dans ces conditions d'obtenir de bons clichés. Souvent, je suis revenu bredouille, mais quand même j'y suis retourné avec l'espoir d'avoir un peu plus de chance.

 

J'y retournerai l'annèe prochaine, un peu plus aguerri peut-être.

 

This year, I had the chance, at the call of the deer, meet the animal to approach very difficult for the photographer in particular.

Indeed, the deer does not point out the muzzle at daybreak or dusk, when the light is very low, the more it exposes a very short time, has a very strong smell that it is difficult to deceive.

 

Not easy in these conditions to get good shots. Often, I returned empty-handed, but still I went back hoping to have a bit more luck.

 

I will return next of year, a little more seasoned, perhaps.

 

Este año, tuve la oportunidad, a la llamada de los ciervos, conocer al animal a acercarse muy difícil para el fotógrafo en particular.

En efecto, el venado no señala el hocico al amanecer o al atardecer, cuando la luz es muy baja, más se expone a un tiempo muy corto, tiene un olor muy fuerte que es difícil de engañar.

 

No es fácil en estas condiciones para obtener buenas tomas. A menudo, volví con las manos vacías, pero aún así me volvió la esperanza de tener suerte un poco más.

 

Voy a volver al lado de año, un poco más experimentado, tal vez.

 

Este ano, tive a oportunidade, ao chamado do cervo, conhecer o animal se aproximar muito difícil para o fotógrafo em particular.

Na verdade, o veado não apontar o focinho ao amanhecer ou ao anoitecer, quando a luz é muito baixa, mais ele expõe um tempo muito curto, tem um cheiro muito forte de que é difícil de enganar.

 

Não é fácil, nestas condições, para obter boas fotos. Muitas vezes, voltei de mãos vazias, mas ainda voltei com a esperança de ter um pouco mais de sorte.

 

Voltarei próximo do ano, um pouco mais experiente, talvez.

 

Bonne journée à tous. merci pour vos visites et commentaires.

Have a nice day. Thanks for your visits and comments.

You can walk the entire length of Oberstraase, the main street of Bacharach, in about ten minutes. However, on our first outing in the village, my wife and I took a more leisurely approach and spent an hour or so photographing the half-timbered houses, wandering the side streets, and soaking up the unpretentious charm of this delightful riverside town.

Acacia dealbata é uma espécie de árvore nativa da Austrália. Tem crescimento rápido, desenvolvendo-se rapidamente depois dos fogos. Não vive normalmente mais do que 30 a 40 anos, ao fim dos quais é substituída por outras. É conhecida vulgarmente como mimosa, no entanto não pertence ao género Mimosa.

Devido à facilidade de propagação e resistência, é uma espécie invasora em muitos habitats.

pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acacia_dealbata

Acacia dealbata (Silver Wattle) is a species of Acacia, native to southeastern Australia in New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, and the Australian Capital Territory.[1]

It is a fast growing evergreen tree or shrub growing up to 30 m tall, typically a pioneer species after fire. The leaves are bipinnate, glaucous blue-green to silvery grey, 1–12 cm (occasionally to 17 cm) long and 1–11 cm broad, with 6–30 pairs of pinnae, each pinna divided into 10–68 pairs of leaflets; the leaflets are 0.7–6 mm long and 0.4–1 mm broad. The flowers are produced in large racemose inflorescences made up of numerous smaller globose bright yellow flowerheads of 13–42 individual flowers. The fruit is a flattened pod 2–11.5 cm long and 6–14 mm broad, containing several seeds.[2] Trees generally do not live longer than 30 to 40 years, after which in the wild they are succeeded by other species where bushfires are excluded.

Del castell de Talamanca en tenim notícies ja a l'any 967. En el testament sacramental de Ramon Folc, vescompte de Cardona, apareix l'any 1086,el castell de Talamancha com a propietat familiar. En el s.XII ens consta en diversos documents l'existència de la família Talamanca, castlana del territori. Sembla ser que un tal Guillem de Talamanca es casà amb Dolça de Santa Coloma, inserint-se així aquest darrer cognom. El 1288, Berenguer de Talamanca era senyor del castell de Talamanca. En els fogatges que van de 1365 a 1370 hi apareix el "Castell de Talamancha, d'en Ramon de Talamanca, XXX focs". El 1406 Andrea de Talamanca es casà amb Joan Aymerich. En el mateix segle s'introdueix també per casament el cognom de Planella. El 1668 Maria Francesca es casà amb Joan d'Amat i Despalau, senyor de Castellbell, del matrimoni nasqué el fill que esdevingué el primer marquès de Castellbell. Al 1714 entraren al castell de Talamanca les tropes castellanes de Felip V capitanejades pel marquès de Poal. Al 1717 el castell fou desmantellat del tot, encara que les seves pedres serviren per edificar el Casal conegut per "El castell" o "El castell del Marquès" (per al.lusió a la família marquesal dels Castellbell).

This is Fluorite from Dal'negorsk (Дальнегорск), Russia at the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show.

www.mindat.org/locentries.php?p=2635&m=1576

www.mindat.org/loc-2635.html

A famous mining region centered on the city of Dalnegorsk in eastern Russia, 300 km northeast of Vladivostok. The name "Tetyukhe" or "Tetjuche" (meaning "valley of the wild pigs") is the old Chinese name for Dalnegorsk and can be encountered on a few old mineral labels.

The Verkhnee deposit was first developed in 1912. Boron mineralization was prospected in 1945.

The region comprises 9 different deposits.

 

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorite

"Fluorite (also called fluorspar) is the mineral form of calcium fluoride, CaF2. It belongs to the halide minerals. It crystallizes in isometric cubic habit, although octahedral and more complex isometric forms are not uncommon.

Pure fluorite is colourless and transparent, both in visible and ultraviolet light, but impurities usually make it a colorful mineral and the stone has ornamental and lapidary uses. Industrially, fluorite is used as a flux for smelting, and in the production of certain glasses and enamels. The purest grades of fluorite are a source of fluoride for hydrofluoric acid manufacture, which is the intermediate source of most fluorine-containing fine chemicals. Optically clear transparent fluorite has anomalous partial dispersion, that is, its refractive index varies with the wavelength of light in a manner that differs from that of commonly used glasses, so fluorite is useful in making apochromatic lenses, and particularly valuable in photographic optics. Fluorite optics are also usable in the far-ultraviolet and mid-infrared ranges, where conventional glasses are too opaque for use. Fluorite also has low dispersion, and a high refractive index for its density."

Excerpt from taipingkoon.com.hk/index.php/en/about/milestone:

 

Tai Ping Koon Restaurant (TPK) was founded in 1860 (Qing Dynasty-10th year of Xianfeng) by Mr. Chui Lo Ko who originally worked as a Chef for a western trading company in Guangzhou and his specialties were western dishes. He left the company and became a hawker. Created a fusion of Chinese and Western dishes, which were appreciated by his customer. In 1860, Mr. Chui started up his own restaurant in Tai Ping Sha of Guangzhou and he named it according to the venue. It was the first restaurant in Guangzhou specializing in western cuisine.

 

The most special dishes such as roasted pigeon, smoked pomfret, Baked Coconut Chicken in Portuguese Style were created by Mr. Chui and renowned in Southern Guangdong. The Marinade invented by the successors became an incomparable classical dish as well. The historic customers include Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Zhou Enlai, Chiang Kai-shek. In 1938, successors of Mr. Chui started up the first TPK in Hong Kong and became the first ancestor of Hong Kong Style Western Restaurant. TPK obtained an important status in the culture of Hong Kong Diet. Nowadays, Hong Kong Tai Ping Koon restaurant is still run by the Chui family. (No branch in Mainland China)

Just got back home after ten days in Chicago, where I stayed in a Holiday Inn right across the Chicago River from this amazing-looking building.

 

Chicago has an absolutely gorgeous downtown area, probably one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. Old buildings and new rise side by side, and the river runs through them all. There are cool 1930s-style steel lift bridges every block and, to top off the eye candy, there's even an elevated train. They call this part of town The Loop, I'm not sure why. What I *am* sure of is that I'd love to go back there and take photographs for about two or three weeks someday. It's a photographer's dream.

As the day comes to a close, the Old Port in Dubrovnik comes alive. See below for more sunset images captured earlier on a sunset dinner cruise on the Adriatic Sea.

 

The fortress of Sv. Ivan (St. John) also called Mulo Tower, is [a] monumental building on the south-eastern side of the Old City Port, controlling and protecting its entrance. The first fort of this complex was built in the 14th century and then extended and modified in the 15th and 16th centuries. The present look of the fortress dates from the 16th century and is [the] work of the local builder Paskoje Milièeviæ. This large building, with many gun ports for its primary function, houses today the Maritime Museum and the Aquarium.

 

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful Sunday.

Croft Castle is a 17th century stone quadrangular manor house, built close to the site of the old medieval castle. At each corner of the high curtain wall, is a small castellated round tower, with a small square tower flanking the north side. The castle was restored after Civil War slighting and the east range was given a Gothic reconstruction in the 18th century. In 1461, the medieval castle, Sir Richard Croft and Wigmore Castle, five miles to the north-west, played a part in the nearby battle of Mortimer's Cross.

Mi hanno letteralmente incastrato per cui...

1)Nato il 27-11-1969

2)Amo tutti gli sport in particolare il motocross,il rally e l'hokey su ghiaccio in quanto li praticavo

3)Odio l'opportunismo e le mezze misure

4)Ho il difetto di dirla tutta a costo di farmi odiare

5)Odio il pesce nella fattispecie aragoste, granchi e gamberoni. Non ho pazienza, se me li presentate in un piatto facile che volano via, o vado via io.

6)I miei hobby sono la fotografia,il disegno,la pittura ed i videogiochi. (quelli della serie prima tiri una bomba nella stanza e poi entri con un mitra a finire i superstiti)

7)Anche se sò di essere un orso grigio non sopporto di far male nemmeno ad una mosca

8)Mi piace viaggiare indistintamente per lavoro o per piacere

9)Non sono sposato ma convivo con una (santa) brava persona

10) Non mi lavo da quando ho scoperto che tale cosa è una perdita di tempo e tale tempo posso impiegarlo a fotografare

11)Il mio colore preferito è il nero e blu

12) Odio gli architetti in particolare quello che mi ha incastrato in questa faccenda dei 16 punti

13) Se avessi una bacchetta magica fornirei il mondo di cibo e acqua. Non la ho per cui rimango a guardare le fattorie che sono costrette a buttare il latte in più e non lo possono nemmeno regalare a chi non ne ha. [....]

14) quello che pensano di me gli altri mi è assolutamente indifferente. In breve, non me ne frega niente!

15)Odio i leccaculo, li prenderei a sprangate.

16) Mi rendo conto che in fondo chi sono non lo so nemmeno io per cui mi riservo la facoltà di cambiare qualsiasi dei precedenti punti nel caso ve ne fosse bisogno!

Passo la palla a Mario M, Daniele, Massimo (granmadue) giusto perché sono quelli che mi stanno di più nelle scatole!

Dune di Lancelin - Western Australia

 

View Large On Black

 

Lancelin Dunes- Western Australia

Lancelin is small sea side town about 130km North of Perth,famous for it’s sand dunes, which are mainly used for off roading activities.

The area was initially a holiday camping place through the 1940s and holiday shacks were probably built in the area during this time but interest in the area grew as it was designated as a possible port to be utilised by the crayfish, or lobster fishery.

The town has a permanent population of over 600, and swells to 2,500 during the peak holiday period around Christmas - New Year.

Kitesurfing and windsurfing are popular in the ocean off Lancelin, as are sandboarding and 4-wheel driving on the beaches and in the dunes behind the town.

 

Lancelin è una piccola cttà costiera a circa 130 KM da Perth, famosa per l sue dune di sabbia bianca che sono la principale destinazione di molte attività “Off-road”.

Fin dal 1940 tutta l’area fu utilizzata come enorme campeggio per le vacanze ma in seguito l’interesse crebbe quando fu designata come un possibile porto utilizzabile dai pescatori di granhi e di aragoste.

La cittadina ha una popolazione di 600 abitanti che diventano 2500 durante le vacanze tra Natale e Capodanno.

Il kite e l’windsurf sono attività molto popolari nelle acque oceaniche di Lancelin come le escursioni in 4x4 sulle spiagge e sulle dune (Sic!) intorno alla cittadina.

Last January 24 we headed into Grand Ledge to meet our friends at Toad's Coffeehouse. As Joan drove down highway M-43 I dug out my camera and took pix of the fog and the scenery. (I do this to her regularly.)

 

All the day's pix were versions of photographs I'd taken before, as we've traveled those eight miles thousands of times. That said, this is the best image I've ever managed of that barn. And the photo I posted a year ago, of the state highway and the highway's sign, is one of my favorites. The framing there is odd, but it came out well.

 

==========

 

My Olympus E-M1 Mk II has been my "good" camera for a bit over seven years, now. The 12-40 f/2.8 lens I carried last January was part of the original purchase. It's an excellent lens, the one I mount when I know my first concern is a sharp photo.

Hablo de una traición, hablo de un místico embaucar...

Recuerdo. Una noche de gritos. Yo subía y no tenía posibilidad de arrepentirme; subía cada vez más alto sin saber si llegaría a un encuentro de fusión o si me quedaría toda la vida con la cabeza clavada en un poste. Era como tragar olas de silencio, mis labios se movían como debajo del agua, me ahogaba, era como si estuviera tragando silencio. En mí éramos yo y el silencio. Esa noche me arrojé desde la torre más alta. Y cuando estuvimos en lo alto de la ola, supe que eso era lo mío, y aun lo que he buscado en los poemas, en los cuadros, en la música, era un ser llevado a lo alto de la ola...

Crea un silencio en el que yo reconozca mi lugar de reposo cuando la prueba de fuego de su afección tuvo que haber sido mantenerme lejos del silencio, tuvo que haber sido vedarme el acceso a esa zona de silencio exterminador.

Comprendo, de nada sirve comprender, a nadie nunca le ha servido comprender, y sé que ahora necesito remontarme a la raíz de esa fascinación silenciosa, de esa oquedad que se abre para que yo entre, yo el holocausto, yo la víctima propiciatoria. Su persona es menos que un fantasma, que un nombre, que vacío. Alguien me bebe desde la otra orilla, alguien me succiona, me abandona exangüe. Estoy muriendo porque alguien ha creado un silencio para mí...

 

No obstante, si no existiera esta correspondencia vampírica, me moriría de falta de una correspondencia así. Alguien que amé en otra vida, en ninguna vida, en todas las vidas. Alguien a quien amar desde mi lugar de reminiscencias, a quien ofrendarme, a quien sacrificarme como si con ello cumpliera una justa devolución o restableciera el equilibrio cósmico.

 

Su silencio es un útero, es la muerte. Una noche soñé una carta cubierta de sangre y heces; era en un páramo y la carta gemía como un gato. No. Voy a romper el hechizo. Voy a escribir como llora un niño, es decir: no llora porque esté triste sino que llora para informar, tranquilamente.

In some floors are frescos about something hideous refering a kind of life I cannot undestand because all the history was in burmese language but I guess it is something like a Buddhist hell.

Is somebody knows what it is please tell me!

After Marymere Falls, we made our way to Sol Duc Hot Springs. The waterfall at Sol Duc is supposedly the most photographed spot in Olympic National Park. We got there too late to get good shots of the falls. The sun was high in the sky and direct light was falling across the river. Luckily, the bright sun had the fortuitous side effect of making a rainbow!

 

You'd think that the mid-day sunlight would have been my biggest photographic challenge, but in this case, the crowds of people enjoying the falls was a much bigger issue. You can't tell from the photos, but there was easily a dozen people enjoying the falls at the same time we were. I had to be very patient and strategic to avoid getting other tourists in my shot.

 

The Sol Duc Falls Trail starts out right past the campground. The falls are an easy .8 mile walk from the parking lot.

Active Assignment of the Week September 28 – October 5: Paper

For this assignment take photos of paper or things made of paper. There are many items made of paper so let your imagination run. Items could range from a creative display of a single sheet of paper to a great shot of complex origami.

 

Restriction: No scrapbook pages.

 

Dare: Go minimalistic or abstract

 

WIT

See comment below for the steps I followed to get this image. The light in the room was on the low side, so I used the on-board camera flash to avoid blur and keep the page edges crisp and sharp.

Grand Teton National Park at Oxbow Bend, along the Snake River.

 

People ask me why or when do you shoot a scene in the 'landscape' orientation (horizontal) or in the 'portrait' orientation (vertical). I discuss this in detail in one of my free landscape articles--see below. Most landscape shots are framed horizontally, because that fits best with the scene. The choice for the serious nature photographer is more complex. The first decision you must make is, what is the end purpose of the shot? A calendar image is almost always shot horizontally. A magazine cover is shot vertically. For this shot, I did both. Follow the link below to see the horizontal image of this scene.

From looking at the two images of the same scene shot seconds apart, you can see how different they are. One encompasses the entire scene--the forest, the river, the snow-capped Teton mountains and the ducks are very small. It is a 'grand' scene. The shot above, the vertical one, 'zooms in' and focuses on Mt Moran and its reflection on the Snake River. Here the ducks are more of an important part of the scene--a secondary compositional element.

 

When I approach a scene like this, I try to always shoot it both ways and then process them to get the best out of the shot. If Outdoor Photographer magazine ever wants a magazine cover of Oxbow Bend, I have it. ;>) Please feel free to call!

 

Also note the 'placement' of the ducks in the version above. Now as a nature photographer, I did not swim out into the Snake River and 'place' the four ducks. As the patient nature photographer, I waited for the duck to place themselves for this shot. While my photography partner James Neeley was making his way along the river's shore taking many great images, I was setup on my tripod and just waiting for the ducks to swim into place. Then I snapped away, horizontally and vertically. One of the most important things I like to teach about nature photography is the 'art of waiting'. James Neeley, Jeff Sullivan, Kevin McNeal and I will be teaching a landscape and nature photography workshop here next June.

I shot this early last week, now I'm 1/10th of the way there!

 

We went to East Aurora for that all-day architectural shoot, and for lunch we went to this cool coffee shop called 'Taste' and their wraps were delicious!

 

Steven here actually told KC how he's never seen THREE people all come in together wearing cool lookin' glasses. After that i decided i'd ask him to be my 10th stranger (after i was done eating of course)

 

Oh, and those of you who were guessing i got a fishy, you guessed correctly, i nabbed a used UX date coded 15mm Fishy for quite cheap :)
