La créativité se construit souvent d'un médium à l'autre, et l'artiste britannique Jason Anderson en est bien conscient.

Son parcours artistique a débuté avec le vitrail, lorsqu'il a participé à plusieurs projets de restauration de cathédrales en Angleterre. Bien qu'il ait abandonné ce médium, il continue de façonner son style aujourd'hui.

Aujourd'hui peintre, il crée des œuvres vibrantes et abstraites, aux couleurs lumineuses et aux formes géométriques qui font écho à la tradition du verre dont il est issu ...

Creativity often builds from one medium to another, and British artist Jason Anderson knows this firsthand.

His artistic journey began in stained glass, when he worked on several restoration projects for cathedrals in England. Although he left the medium behind, it still shapes his style today.

Now a painter, he creates vibrant, abstract works filled with luminous colors and geometric forms that echo the glasswork tradition he came from ...

For comparison, this is a 9-photo, Hugin stitched, panorama of Skinner's Bluff overlooking the Slough of Despond shot last fall. On such a stunning day, many people were out to see the fall colours. A couple served as a subject and I shot this on a Canon SL3 with HDR bracketing. It turns out there was enough movement between bracketed shots that I just used the underexposed series, stitched, and brought back the exposure in Pixelmator Pro. There is a noticeable difference in the quality of the stitched product from the 2008 photo due mostly to the RAW photos from the Canon vs. the JPEG photos from the Panasonic Lumix.

Pipette n'était pas un chien comme les autres. Certes, il aimait les longues balades et les caresses derrière les oreilles, mais sa passion, c'était le journal.

Chaque matin, dès les premiers rayons du soleil, il se précipitait vers la porte d'entrée, ses grands yeux brillants fixés sur la boîte aux lettres. Avec une agilité surprenante, il sautait, attrapait le journal du bec et le déposait délicatement aux pieds de son maître.

Ce rituel était devenu une tradition dans la maison. Pipette avait commencé par un simple jeu, apportant des jouets ou des bâtons. Mais très vite, il avait compris que le journal était l'objet qui suscitait le plus de joie chez son maître. Et quel plaisir il prenait à le voir sourire en le voyant arriver avec sa précieuse cargaison !

Les voisins étaient amusés de voir ce chien si dévoué à sa tâche. Certains lui laissaient même de petites friandises en récompense. Pipette était devenu la mascotte du quartier, le petit facteur à quatre pattes qui savait toujours apporter un peu de gaieté.

Un jour, le facteur fut en arrêt de travail. Pipette, inquiet de ne pas voir son ami, se posta devant la boîte aux lettres, l'air pensif. Il semblait comprendre que quelque chose n'allait pas. Mais quand le nouveau facteur arriva, Pipette l'accueillit avec la même joie qu'à l'accoutumée, montrant ainsi que son dévouement ne se limitait pas à une seule personne, mais à la mission qu'il s'était donnée : apporter le journal chaque matin.

Et ainsi, jour après jour, Pipette continuait son travail, apportant non seulement des nouvelles, mais aussi une dose de bonheur et de tendresse à ceux qui l'entouraient.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Pipette wasn't like other dogs. Sure, he loved long walks and belly rubs, but his true passion was the newspaper.

Every morning, as soon as the first rays of sunlight peeked through the curtains, he'd race to the front door, his big, bright eyes fixed on the mailbox. With surprising agility, he'd jump, grab the paper in his mouth, and gently drop it at his owner's feet.

This ritual had become a tradition in the household. Pipette had started with simple games, bringing toys or sticks. But he quickly realized that the newspaper was the object that brought his owner the most joy. And what pleasure he took in seeing his human smile when he arrived with his precious cargo!

The neighbors were amused to see such a dedicated dog. Some even left him small treats as a reward. Pipette had become the neighborhood mascot, the little four-legged mailman who always knew how to bring a little cheer.

One day, the human mailman was on sick leave. Pipette, worried about not seeing his friend, stood in front of the mailbox, looking thoughtful. He seemed to understand that something was wrong. But when the new mailman arrived, Pipette greeted him with the same joy as always, showing that his dedication was not limited to one person, but to the mission he had given himself: to bring the newspaper every morning.

And so, day after day, Pipette continued his work, bringing not only news, but also a dose of happiness and tenderness to those around him.

Une société a demandé « une photo d'un appareil photo classique du milieu du 20e siècle doté d'une grande ampoule de flash ».

Imagen 3 sur Gemini a attribué l'appareil photo AI avec le logo "Canon" !

Cela signifie que les utilisateurs peuvent générer des images via l'assistant IA de la même manière que DALL-E fonctionne sur ChatGPT !

Cependant, il y a un hic : les utilisateurs ne pourront pas générer d'images de personnes. 🤔

°°°°°°°°°°°

A company asked for “a picture of a classic mid-20th century camera that has a large flash bulb.”

Imagen 3 on Gemini assigned the AI camera with the "Canon" logo !

It means users can generate pictures via the AI assistant in much the same way DALL-E operates on ChatGPT !

However, there is one catch: Users won’t be able to generate images of people 🤔

Pour capturer des éclairs en photographie, il faut privilégier la pose longue en mode manuel, une ouverture intermédiaire (autour de f/8 à f/11), une sensibilité basse (ISO 100–200) pour limiter le bruit, une mise au point sur l’infini et, de préférence, un objectif grand angle ou standard, selon le type de scène et la distance à l’orage … une téléobjectif si l’éclair est lointain !

Un trépied et un déclencheur à distance sont vraiment souhaitables et pensez à vérifier l’exposition après chaque photo !

°°°°°°°°°°°

To capture lightning in photography, it is best to use long exposures in manual mode, a medium aperture (around f/8 to f/11), low sensitivity (ISO 100–200) to minimize noise, focus at infinity, and preferably a wide-angle or standard lens depending on the scene and the distance to the storm… a telephoto lens if the lightning is far away!

A tripod and remote shutter release are highly recommended, and remember to check your exposure after each shot !

Une maman Sterne revient de la mer, l’offrande brillante encore frétillante dans son bec. Le petit s’impatiente, le regard rivé sur ce poisson presque trop grand pour lui, symbole de l’attention et de la générosité maternelles.

A mother Tern returns from the sea, carrying a still-shimmering catch in her beak. Her chick waits eagerly, eyes fixed on the oversized fish, a striking image of maternal care and generosity.

Ceci est une photo du parlement du Canada représenté sur une maquette près du musée de l’Histoire à Gatineau. Il est tout petit. Cette maquette sert à indiquer aux touristes où se trouvent les points d’intérêt dans les alentours. Je l’ai photographié avec la fonction macro de mon téléphone et j’ai joué avec les contrastes en utilisant d’application Pixelmator pour créer une ambiance. /// This is a photo of the Canadian Parliament, depicted on a model near the Museum of History in Gatineau. It's very small. This model is used to show tourists where points of interest are in the surrounding area. I photographed it using my phone's macro function and played with the contrasts using the Pixelmator app to create a sense of atmosphere.

Henri Cartier-Bresson est le photographe le plus célèbre associé au style photographique du "moment décisif" !!!

La différence entre une bonne image et une image médiocre est d'un "millimètre", a-t-il dit un jour !

Pour Ntagkas, il est influencé par des photographes de rue tels que Cartier-Bresson mais il dit surtout qu'il est principalement soucieux de faire quelque chose de "complètement différent" à chaque fois !

"La photographie de rue est plus stimulante, artistique et créative que d'autres formes de photographie et cela m'attirait beaucoup", explique-t-il…

Vous comprendrez évidemment que je suis d’accord avec ce photographe talentueux 😉

___________________________________________PdF____

Henri Cartier-Bresson is the most famous photographer associated with the photographic style of the "decisive moment".

The difference between a good picture and a mediocre picture is one millimeter", he once said!

For Ntagkas, he is influenced by street photographers such as Cartier-Bresson but most of all he says he is mainly concerned with doing something "completely different" every time !

“Street photography is more challenging, artistic and creative

than other forms of photography and I was very attracted to that,” he explains…

You will obviously understand that I agree with this talented photographer 😉

« Cette image a été prise à Snettisham Beach, célèbre pour ses vastes vasières qui attirent un nombre impressionnant d'oiseaux migrateurs.

Le sujet du premier plan est une jetée délabrée, construite pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale pour permettre le transport par bateau du gravier extrait des carrières voisines.

Le canal incurvé dans la vasière reflète les étoiles filantes. »

“This image was taken at Snettisham Beach, famous for its vast tidal mudflats that attract migrating birds in staggering numbers.

The foreground subject is a dilapidated jetty, which was built in the Second World War to allow gravel extracted from the nearby pits to be moved by boat.

The curved channel in the mudflat mirrors the trailing stars.

Il est essentiel de développer notre infrastructure de stockage d’énergie afin de pouvoir conserver l’excédent d’énergie renouvelable pour le moment où nous en aurons besoin.

Les parcs éoliens sont essentiels dans la lutte contre le changement climatique et dans la quête d'un avenir plus vert. Alors que de nombreux pays adoptent cette technologie durable, l'Irlande est en tête, ses parcs éoliens produisant 32 % de l'électricité du pays.

°°°°°°°°°°°°

Building out our energy storage infrastructure is also vital so that we can save excess renewable energy for when we need it.

Wind farms are essential in the fight against climate change and the push for a greener future. While many countries are embracing this sustainable technology, Ireland is leading the charge, with its wind farms generating 32% of the nation’s electricity.
