This picture I took in 2007--still not knowing much about photography but novices tend to get lucky. This little bee was posing for me long enough to capture a few really good shots and it is rare to also have the pollen in such a good focus... so here it is. I had to enlarge with Genuine Fractals--and again, no loss as a result.
The upper left flower was really wilted and the green in the background was way too bright so I decided to use Nik's trial again. I used the Dfine to reduce noise, the Sharpen to increase sharpness only on the bee and the center of the flower the bee is on, and then used a color treatment called Indian Summer all over. I chose center lighten and border darken--that is a really cool function in Nik's ColorEffects! And finally, since the wilting flower just stayed looking wilted, I used CS5's new blending brush and the regular paint brush to put a little more (albeit artistic) life back into that flower. I also painted the background a bit to keep the painted look more consistent. It is interesting what a bit of tinkering can do! the whole process took about 15 minutes and it is a descent picture now.
About the shot
Possibly my best shot to date, technically-speaking. Only needed to crop and sharpen very slightly. I'm very pleased that I seem to be improving rather than remaining static. Now if only I could produce these kinds of results every time, but I imagine this is the way for many of us photographers!

About the Diana Monkey
The Diana Monkey ranges from 40 to 55 cm in length, excluding its tail, which is of a uniform 3–4 cm diameter and 50–75 cm long. Adults weigh between 4–7 kg. Individual Diana Monkeys may live for up to 20 years. They are generally black or dark grey, but have a white throat, crescent-shaped browband, ruff and beard; the browband gave the species its common name, since it was held to resemble the bow of the goddess Diana. The species is regarded as endangered by the IUCN as well as by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the chief dangers to them being habitat destruction (they are now virtually confined to coastal areas) and hunting for bushmeat.
The Diana Monkey is a noisy presence in the forest. Its marked coloration allows a wide range of visual social signals, and it also has a wide range of alarm calls, with different sounds for different predators. The monkey has distinctive alarm calls for different kinds of predators, and recent research has shown that other forest residents such as the Yellow-casqued Hornbill are able to discriminate these and take appropriate action.

Stop The Killings, Memorial for Cyclist Hits Home
By: Will on: Dec 11, 2006 04:38 PM (149 reads)
On Saturday afternoon more than 100 cyclists and friends of Eric Ng road from Washington Square Park to the Westside Greenway to pay honor to Eric and memorialize him. Eric Ng was killed while cycling on the westside bike path more than a week ago by a drunk driver who drove his BMW down the path for more than a mile before striking Eric. I did not know Eric, but I know some of his friends, and there are many other friends of his from the cycling community whose faces I know. Eric was both a cyclist and an activist. He was interested in making the world a better place and inspiring others to do the same. Saturday I took photos during the memorial. These will be painful for some, especially those who knew him or were there. I am sorry for that. I deliberated about posting them, Saturday was heart wrenching enough. But the killing of innocent cyclists in NYC must end!
Most painful of all Saturday was having to watch Ryan of Visual Resistance lead the dedication of Eric's ghost bike. Ryan is a leader of the Visual Resistance ghost bike project in which he makes ghost bikes, generally for people he does not know; but this past week he had to make one for a close friend and install it at the site of his friend's death. In posting these photos hopefully the injustice of this tragedy and of all killed cyclists will reach a bigger audience. I never want to have to attend another memorial like this again.
Les paroles s' envolent...
Les images font ce qu' elles peuvent. J' ai enfin réussi à finir cette damnée pellicule. L' appareil, un EOS 650 est resté un temps indeterminé chez Linda. D' abord en Californie, puis en Oregon. Elle ne savait plus quand elle avait commencé cette pellicule. Une Fuji 200 iso. Sur le côté gauche de l' image, une altération des couleurs tournant vers un marron pas très esthétique. Vers le bas, cela tourne vers un magenta pas très honnête, et de manière générale la définition est aux abonnés absents. Curieusement, je n' ai pas dû faire beaucoup après avoir scanné, juste un rajout de contraste (enfin là, le contraire aurait été étonnant). Mais surtout la balance des blancs... Le plus emmerdant, c' est quand même le film, qui présente un pli assez prononcé, pour être resté dans le boitier tout simplement, à la même position. Mis à part ces inconvénients techniques, il faut reconnaître un certain charme à ces images. Juste l' age... L' une des images a permis de situer les prises de vues. La Conner dans l' état de Washington, merci Nasty Jack's Antiques. En questionnant Linda, je finirai par apprendre que le film a passé 20 ans dans l' appareil. Quant aux images que j' ai prises, l' altération est tout aussi présente, sans parler d' un très gros manque de définition. Les images prises à l' origine auraient finalement pu être meilleures si elles avaient inclu des personnages, des véhicules. Les manières de s' habiller,la mode, les coiffures, les paysages, les styles des bagnoles ont bien changé en 20 ans. Il manque un tout petit truc qui, avec cette altération pas trop sévère finalement, aurait donné un vrai côté génial à ces photos. Je suis toutefois très content déjà d' avoir récupéré cet appareil et d' avoir quand obtenu des images d' un film conservé dans des conditions assez pourries.

La tour Eiffel, initialement nommée tour de 300 mètres, est une tour de fer puddlé construite par Gustave Eiffel et ses collaborateurs pour l'Exposition universelle de Paris de 1889. Situé à l'extrémité du parc du Champ-de-Mars, en bordure de la Seine, ce monument parisien, symbole de la capitale française, est le neuvième site le plus visité du pays en 2006 et le premier monument payant visité au monde avec 6,893 millions de visiteurs en 2007.
D'une hauteur de 313,2 mètres à l'origine, la tour Eiffel est restée le monument le plus élevé du monde pendant 41 ans. Sa hauteur a été plusieurs fois augmentée par l'installation de nombreuses antennes, pour culminer à 324 m et 325 m depuis le 17 janvier 2005 avec l'émetteur TNT. Utilisée dans le passé pour de nombreuses expériences scientifiques, elle sert aujourd'hui d'émetteur de programmes radiophoniques et télévisés. Sa construction n’a duré que deux ans et deux mois.

Angkor Thom was the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer empire. It was established in the late twelfth century by king Jayavarman VII. It covers an area of 9 km², within which are located several monuments from earlier eras as well as those established by Jayavarman and his successors. At the centre of the city is Jayavarman's state temple, the Bayon, with the other major sites clustered around the Victory Square immediately to the north.
Bayon temple, Angkor Thom
Angkor Thom was established as the capital of Jayavarman VII's empire, and was the centre of his massive building programme. One inscription found in the city refers to Jayavarman as the groom and the city as his bride. (Higham, 121)
Khmer capital on the site, however. Yasodharapura, dating from three centuries earlier, was centred slightly further northwest, and Angkor Thom overlapped parts of it. The most notable earlier temples within the city are the former state temple of Baphuon, and Phimeanakas, which was incorporated into the Royal Palace. The Khmers did not draw any clear distinctions between Angkor Thom and Yashodharapura: even in the fourteenth century an inscription used the earlier name. (Higham 138) The name of Angkor Thom — great city — was in use from the 16th century.
The last temple known to have been constructed in Angkor Thom was Mangalartha, which was dedicated in 1295. Thereafter the existing structures continued to be modified from time to time, but any new creations were in perishable materials and have not survived. In the following centuries Angkor Thom remained the capital of a kingdom in decline until it was abandoned some time prior to 1609, when an early western visitor wrote of an uninhabited city, "as fantastic as the Atlantis of Plato" which some thought to have been built by the Roman emperor Trajan. (Higham 140) It is believed to have sustained a population of 80,000-150,000 people

Puebla., Puebla a 29 de Mayo 2015
Por: Carlos Morales Cortes – portal DXTWEB
@CORTEMoraco59
Este día en el Centro de Convenciones Puebla se llevó a cabo lo que es ya una tradición la “rueda de prensa” de los pilotos de la Parrilla de la Serie Nascar México, de la Quinta Fecha "México Pro Series 240" teniendo como invitados especiales a pilotos de la categorías Nascar como el líder del campeonato Luis Felipe Montaño, Hugo Oliveras, Rubén Pardo, Rodrigo Marban, Enrique Contreras entre otros, volante de la Pro Series, Juan Carlos Ortíz, director del operaciones de este serial y del famoso “Lupillo Vite” el guía de la ruedas de prensa.
Juan Carlos Ortíz de inicio reconoció el gran ambiente y apoyo que brindan los aficionados poblanos a Nascar
“Como comente estamos muy contentos de regresar a Puebla, es una gran pista y una gran afición, la gente de Puebla siempre ha respondido muy bien, esperemos que este fin de semana no sea la expectación y ojálala y tengamos un lleno, la verdad el campeonato ha mostrado mucha competencia, mucho atractivo y mucha adrenalina”
Por su parte el líder del campeonato con 161 puntos Luis Felipe Montaño dio sus impresiones de cara a la quinta fecha del calendario regular de Nascar.
“Bueno va a ser una carrera complicada se empiezan a acercar las últimas fechas para poder calificar al desafío hemos estado peleando la punta durante las cuatro carreras pasadas creemos que podemos estar así hemos hecho un gran trabajo en el equipo tenemos muy buena comunicación dentro de los tres pilotos y ojalá que esta carrera pueda ser así nos vamos a arriesgar de más un top 5 sería un buen resultado para regresar”
“Bien es el óvalo más rápido que recorremos a lo largo del año ya ansioso de estar ahí es una de las pistas que más me gustan es uno de los mejores óvalos ya esperando que sea el próximo domingo”
“Sí yo creo que lo más complicado está dentro de nuestro equipo cada entrenamiento te hace esforzarte más tenemos muy buena comunicación entre nosotros ojalá que podamos estar peleando la carrera entre nosotros”
Un piloto que se ha identificado con la afición poblana es sin duda Rubén Pardo quien siempre ha brindado extraordinarias actuaciones en el Ovalo de Amozoc y quien reconoció ese apoyo de los fans a la velocidad en Puebla.
Sí la verdad contento de estar en Puebla hay una gran afición del automovilismo y eso como pilotos nos prende mucho, obviamente con muchas ganas de regresar al liderato que se nos fue por diferentes circunstancias en la carrera de Querétaro veníamos peleando la punta en todo momento pero bueno ya cambiamos la página viene Puebla una pista interesante una pista de mucha velocidad, una pista que me gusta y una pista dónde queremos obtener buenos puntos para escalar en el campeonato general creo que tenemos muchas posibilidades de pelear por la victoria, sabemos que los equipos están haciendo un buen trabajo hay equipos como los de Telmex Canel´s mis propios compañeros creo que hay un buen nivel en la serie yo no estoy confiado de nada tengo hambre de trabajar y de mejorar aprender de los errores para seguir cosechando”
“LA CLAVE DE RUBÉN PARDO PARA BUSCAR EL TRIUNFO EN PUEBLA”
“Yo creo que la clave va a ser desde el día de mañana poner un coche balanceado y mucha paciencia en la carrera, es muy gracioso los veníamos comentando, Puebla es una de las pistas dónde dura más la bandera verde entonces también te puedes permitir cuidarte demasiado porque si no a lo mejor no llega el momento dónde puedas recuperar terreno tienes que ser frio y entender cómo va pasando la carrera quienes van adelante quienes van atrás cuidar el coche en todas las circunstancias la lluvia hay muchos puntos que pueden determinar un triunfo"
Finalmente señalar que la carrera el próximo domingo en el Autódromo Miguel E Abed de Amozoc, Puebla será a las 13:00 horas y la categoría pre-estelar a las 11:00 AM.

It is so hard to portray scale of a place like this in a photo. I'll try to provide some perspective: The tallest hoodoo on the left is probably 200 feet (60 m) tall. Note the pine trees here and there to give you an idea of size.
The green mesa is probably 3 miles (5 km) away, and the blue mesa is around 15 miles (24 km) in the distance.
The white areas in the lower right are snow packs, yet it was about 70 F (21 C) when I took the photo.
According to the NPS, there are over 260 freeze/thaw cycles in Bryce every year, which is the primary driving force in the rock formation here.
Eventually, though, in many millennia, all this will be eroded away, and will not be as spectacular as it is today.
Later, I will post a photo of this area taken up and to the right, but taken at night.

Another nice Detail of the Volkswagen Manufactory in Dresden.
Transparent Factory is the English name of an automobile production plant owned by German carmaker Volkswagen, designed by architect Gunter Henn, and opened in 2002. The original German name is Gläserne Manufaktur (factory made of glass, literally vitreous manufactory). Both the German and English names are a word play on the double meaning of transparent and glassy, referring to both optical transparency and transparency of the production process.

I usually like being home alone, however, I love snow yet it's never as fun when you're not enjoying it with someone else.
I'm missing my Physics and English mocks today, which is extremely exciting, but I can't find the will to revise as I have tomorrow off anyway. You know how it goes, always leave stuff to the last minute.
And to top things off, my boyfriend is working so I can't go see him at the moment :( although the busses are still running, so maybe I'll pop out a bit later.
Took this on timer from a chair in my conservatory as no one was with me to help me out! It's also SOOC, although I think it would look nicer cropped. Oh well!
One last confession - when I took this I had the intention of it being in colour, but only when I got back inside and actually looked at the result did I realise that my cameras settings had been left on b&w. I think I prefer it like this though so I guess I got lucky :)
Dormi bene se mangi bene.
Alleati del buon dormire: gli alimenti soporiferi
Se da una parte ci sono alimenti eccitanti, dall'altra esistono anche cibi che aiutano il rilassamento o almeno non lo contrastano. È ormai noto che un aminoacido, il triptofano, presente in molti alimenti proteici favorisce la sintesi della serotonina, il neuromediatore del benessere e il neurotrasmettitore cerebrale che stimola il rilassamento. Tra gli alimenti che contengono triptofano ricordiamo in ordine di quantità: uova e formaggi freschi; carne bianca; legumi secchi; semi oleosi e frutta in guscio; pesce di mare; cereali integrali o semintegrali; alcuni vegetali (indivia, spinaci, patata, cavoli, asparagi, funghi, bietola, lattuga); tra la frutta banana e ananas.
Ulteriori ricerche hanno rilevato che non tutti i cibi ricchi di triptofano svolgono un’azione sedativa; la carne, ad esempio contiene anche aminoacidi di segno opposto, che vanno a costituire sostanze notoriamente eccitanti come la noradrenalina. Inoltre un eccesso di proteine ostacola l’entrata nel cervello del triptofano e di conseguenza abbassa il tasso di serotonina.
Per concludere la cena tipica di pisolo si compone di un pasto frugale, possibilmente ad un’ora non tarda, a base di cereali, piccoli quantità di legumi o proteine (meglio se vegetali), verdure dolci (al vapore, stufate, al forno ecc.), qualche seme oleaginoso; per concludere frutta dolce o un dessert semplice (senza saccarosio) e una tisana rilassante dolcificata con malto o miele grezzo.
Carboidrati, vitamine e sali minerali
Consumare solo cibi ricchi di triptofano non è però sufficiente: si è visto che il livello di serotonina aumenta se insieme a questi vengono consumati i carboidrati. Ciò dipende da un meccanismo complesso che vede coinvolta l'insulina che favorisce il trasporto verso il cervello del triptofano e la sua conversione in serotonina. L'azione è più rapida con gli zuccheri semplici (miele, frutta) e più lenta ma prolungata con quelli complessi (cereali).
La trasformazione del triptofano in serotonina non può avvenire senza la presenza delle vitamine B3, B6 e C. La B3 è contenuta soprattutto in frumento, orzo, legumi, pomodori, latte, formaggi, pesce, carote e patate; la B6 in: pesce, uovo, latte, cereali, formaggi, patate, spinaci, fagioli e carote; la C in frutta e verdura fresca in particolare agrumi, kiwi, rosa canina, peperoni e broccoli.
L’elenco degli alimenti sedativi include quelli ricchi di calcio, ossia di un minerale calmante per eccellenza, che tonifica il sistema nervoso e combatte l’ansia.
Un altro regolatore del sistema nervoso è il magnesio di cui sono ricchi cereali integrali, noci, mandorle, vegetali verdi, camomilla.

I am like the dark mist of my country I have that dark mist inside me I am like the green mountains of my land, I have its wetness between my legs.

An olive backed Sunbird feeding on some flowers of a small tree. Somwhere in Chinese Garden, Singapore. Something completely different for this weekend especially since I haven't taken my 400mm for a spin since last January! Today I was reminded once again how challenging birding is. I definitely need a lot more practice.
I had forgotten to re-attach the quick release plate to my camera body after servicing it last week and as a result the tripod I lugged to this spot became nothing but a dead-weight liability, lesson learnt! Time for a gear checklist for every shoot. Despite the setback I decided to proceed, hand-holding the lens.
This photo was taken at a spot near a tree by the lake that I camped out for close to an hour -waiting for a bird to start feeding on one of the lower and more exposed branches. There were a whole bunch of sunbirds flitting about the tree, feeding so I felt I had a good chance of getting in a couple of decent frames. This one had the bird in just the right angle.
Notes: I was shooting against the sky so had to boost esposure about 1.5stops to bring the bird back under good light (the 800ISO raw file held together surprisingly and fortunately!). Held back the rest of the image using 3 digital GNDs. Adjusted curves and white balance. USM sharpening and noise reduction. Mild crop to fine tune the composition.

Patrick Valenzuela is deep in focus while Moudez is putting on a grin of "I am ready now". =) This is race #4 in preparation at the Del Mar race on August 28, 2010.
I was sitting/standing very far from the horse and jockey at this point--well over 300 yards, and this is a tiny crop from the original, which had the lead horse on it as well as another pair of jockey and lead. This picture is enlarged using Genuine Fractals 4-fold to get it to this size.
I also removed the horse's head on the lover right and added some tail extensions... and used a bit of tooth whitener on the horse. =) Some of the edges of the jockey's clothes became jagged as a result of the enlargement so I used the blending brush in CS5 to smooth that as well as some of the unfavorable shadows under his eyes.
Lot of work (about an hour) spent on this picture only becuase the horse's face is so incredible! =)

The family today ain't what it used to be. Chris Meney takes us on a sociological expedition through the good and the bad of the old and the new types of relationships.
##################
"Changing social attitudes during the late 20th century have led to an increase in de facto and same-sex relationships as well as giving people more freedom to end relationships, start new relationships or remain single." -
The Australian Bureau of Statistics isn't telling Urbanites anything surprising (see Links). Perhaps no other Church teaching is challenged so constantly in everyday life, especially for a young urban adult.
There's probably not a hit movie or TV show that doesn't portray cohabitation before marriage as a natural "next stage" in a relationship.
And most of us know, or even are part of, the many couples who live together before marriage.
Yet what's wrong with that, especially for those in their early 20s and early 30s without kids (most of us at Urban Theology)? Surely to live with someone is to know them? Especially since the rising divorce rate shows marriage these days isn't much more than a big wedding bill and a piece of paper ?
Of course, the intelligent Urban Theologian knows that the Church has a thoughtful and nuanced defence of the traditional nuclear family.
Come join Chris Meney from the Life, Marriage and Family Centre and your fellow urbanites in their early 20s to early 30s at our new venue in the heart of the CBD - the St James Hotel. It's dinner, drinks and learning about another issue ever-present in the minds of intelligent young adults.
Abour our April speaker:
Chris Meney is a Director of the Life, Marriage and Family Centre, an agency of the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney established to extend the research, policy, educational and pastoral activities the Church undertakes with respect to life, marriage and family issues.

Hmm, ces derniers mois, Riverside et Avenue de Agnes Obel www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjncyiuwwXQ

Un yaourt à la fraise, une valeur sure ^^
3/ Cite trois passe-temps. / Name 3 hobbies.
Non pas un passe-temps mais un centre d'intérêt :

- les poupées
- les séries TV, surtout ces derniers mois
Puis tellement d'autres...
4/ T’aimes l'EPS ? / Like P.E. ?
Le cours d'EPS non, sans mon 11 au bac j'aurais peut-être eu une mention très bien XD
5/ Cite trois meilleurs amis. / Name three best friends.
Cela fait des années que je ne crois pas en l'idée de "meilleur ami".
No matter how nice you are, there will always be haters. Et cela se vérifie toujours :)
6/ Si tu pouvais rencontre un chanteur/groupe, lequel voudrais-tu que ça soit ? / If you could meet any singer/band who would rit be ?
Hmm, je pense le groupe TOKIO mais fondamentalement je ne suis pas une grande amatrice de musique, et le principe de "fan absolu" me laisse de marbre. Peut-être Agnes Obel aussi...
8/ As-tu remarqué que j’avais sauté le « 7 » ? / Did you notice I skipped 7 ?
Oui je l'avais déjà lu
9/ Le sport… Tu en pratiques un ? / Sports... Play any ?
Plus en ce moment, puisque à la fac c'est optionnel, mais j'adore le vélo et le sprint. Et aussi le tir à l'arc c'est très chouette. Il y a plusieurs sports que j'aimerai faire en ce moment, surtout le handball.
10/ Une info comme ça. / Random fact.
Je reprend une liste déjà faite...
# J'ai de la patafix sur la webcam de mes pc -quand je ne l'utilise pas. Je flippe qu'on m'espionne.
# L'odeur de l'iode et de la mer est ce qui me manque le plus à Lille.
# J'ai la phobie des briquets.
# En été, ma motivation à travailler est inversement proportionnelle à la température extérieure.
# J'ai 10pts de suture, j'aimerais améliorer mon score.
# Je ne dis pas ar*ignée mais papillon.
11/ Are you conceded ?
Erreur ?
12/ Tu parles d’autres langues ? / Speak any other languages ?
Le français est ma langue natale, comme beaucoup j'apprend l'anglais depuis des années à l'école, et depuis 3 ans j'étudie le japonais à la fac. Mis à part ces 2 langues non maternelles où je me débrouille, j'ai fais de l'espagnol jusqu'au lycée et un tout tou petit peu de breton.
13/ Ta nourriture favorite ? / Fave food ?
La cuisine japonaise, j'aime beaucoup les saveurs sucré/salé... Je me damnerai pour manger de l'okonomiyaki right now!

Au chocolat.... j'ai du mal à vivre sans internet, sans mon téléphone, je ne peux sortir dehors sans un sac.... Je suis accro à beaucoup de choses.

Ikitaiii...
16/ Quel âge as-tu ? / How old you be ?
J'aurai 22 ans à la mi-avril é_è
17/ As-tu une devise ? / Have a motto ?
Oooooh oui beaucoup, tellement... trop !
Je donne une datte aux pauvres pour en goûter la vraie saveur ---> le don a plus de saveur que la possession, je prône la générosité
Celui qui laisse se prolonger une injustice ouvre la voie à la suivante ---> Battez-vous pour ce en quoi vous croyez, ne laissez rien passer, soyons justes
Un grain de gaieté assaisonne tout ! ---> nous devrions apprécier chaque instant, déceler le bonheur partout, cesser de nous lamenter et sourire !
Ne fais pas aux autres ce que tu n'aimerais pas qu'on te fasse. ---> tout simplement soyez bons, ne faites pas le mal autour de vous, ou le malheur ous rattrapera un jour.
On connaît les bonnes sources dans la sécheresse, et les bons amis dans la tristesse. ---> si vos "amis" vous lâchent au plus mauvais moment, ils ne sont pas vos amis. Mon dieu comme ce dicton m'a appris beaucoup de choses.... ^^
Bien dire fait rire, bien faire fait taire. ---> il faut cesser de parler et agrir, les belles paroles sont vaines, seuls les actes sont importants !
Bref, j'aime énormément les proverbes, les devises, ils nous enseignent énormément et ce depuis des années et des années.
18/ Ta couleur préférée ? / Fave colour ?
Le rose, le bleu, le blanc. A peu près tout. Je déteste certaines teintes de violets par contre.
19/ La personne qui t'as taggée est-elle épique/?/animale/un patron/folle ? / Is the person who tagged you epic/swagalicous/beasty/boss/insane ?
Beaucoup de personnes m'ont tagué... ^^
