The players were preparing for competition.
Taken with Samsung NX300 provided by Samsung Electronics.
I've been using Samsung camera for around three years and I bought four Samsung cameras. Now Samsung provided me with a new Compact System Camera NX300 so I went out to test it last week.
Sketched quickly from the imagination (really just plop down the washes and let it go where it may). I'm using these to practice technique without getting "attached" to the work. I think I'll be doing quite a few of these for a while.

Two of the young pelicans standing on the bank making practice lunges into the lake. Lots more signs they are getting their adult plumage -pale bellies but still dark faces.

One thing that our camera club participates in during the summer is a panoramic photo contest with other clubs in the surrounding states. I need to practice - there are a ton of things to consider. One of the hardest parts for me is editing them. One good way is to dig up older photos and re-edit them.
My friend Chris had an interesting post on his blog today regarding Panos - you can catch it here.
This one never made it to Flickr, until now. Lincoln Park looking back from North Blvd towards the city. 9 shot HDR and 4 panels. That was 36 total pictures (this is why I say the editing is the hard part). I'd love to hear about any comments - both positive and constructive.
Thanks for looking!

These two young elk bulls are sparring, practicing for the day they are the "big dude" with all the cows at their command.

My first attempt at taking a solar image in preparation for what will be a partial solar eclipse here in Florida. Sunspot activity noted in the upper righthand corner.
Here are some of our youth multipliers and scholarship holders who make up the AfroBreak dance group at Hummingbird. They are a pretty energetic group of youngsters who are more than dedicated to what they practice, which is mainly Break dancing.
With Beija-Flor na Comunidade (Hummingbird in the Community), it means we are taking Hummingbird to the community instead of the community coming to us. In other words, Hummingbird is spreading its wings!
The programme is part of a new strategy being developed by our youth mentors to get a preliminary feel in connection with their objectives to implant small Hummingbird nuclei in the more distant parts of our community, thus bringing our activities to the poorest kids who have no means of reaching our main centre.
The first community to be receiving some of Hummingbird’s vibrant activities is the Sitio Joaninha, which is a rough hilly area about 6 kilometres away from us, where many of the families who used to work on the rubbish tip live. The tip was closed down a few years ago and the area covered with topsoil so as to recuperate some of the natural vegetation.
Most of the shanty homes were constructed during the active years of the tip, when entire families found their livelihoods under the most unhealthy and hazardous working conditions. Since its closure there has been very few alternatives in the way of work and habitation, so very few have been able to move to better conditions. To the contrary; the area has rapidly grown to accommodate even more poverty-stricken families who have no other alternative than to grab a small plot of land and try to survive on what little is available in terms of public amenities in such places.
The majority of homes have no running water and depend on the council delivering drinking water by truck each day. Electricity is acquired through a series of illegal connections, which people have hooked-up to the main electricity network through a maze of literally thousands of metres of wiring crossing the landscape in all directions in order to bring power to one’s home.
This is quite common during the rapid growth of favela (shanty) areas and pressures from the inhabitants will eventually cause most councils to come up with a more satisfactory and less risky solution.
Many of the children who live here have a long way to walk to reach school, as there is no public transport. The tendency is therefore not to go, especially during the rainy or colder seasons. Very few have the willpower or even the means of getting to Hummingbird to participate in all the good things we have to offer in our Street Migration Prevention Programme, although there are some who do.
This is the main reason for us to bring Hummingbird to the kids. If we can manage to finance a more permanent solution we will be able to continue with a variety of activities throughout the entire year and not just during the school holiday season, which is our proposal in this phase of the project.
The last practice bento -- Kindergarten starting this week, so its the real thing next ;)
Ham and cheese rocket sandwich, blueberries, carrot stars and a black cherry tomato cheese ring planet.
What I learned: It takes a LOT of blueberries to fill a 650ml box. I switched to a smaller one and left out the other planets and moon I had planned, so we're a little veggie light.

These are practice pieces for a project I'm planning. Each folded from a rectangle of tracing paper. The square box is actually folded from a slightly longer rectangle than the triangular one, but it requires a lot more extra paper to get the 90 degree turn for the spout on top.
The elder chick has been practicing to fly for about 10 days now. Today, at 82 days old he did his longest run of nearly 200 meter and did not take off. He will fly very soon.
Loons are excellent divers and have heavy bones, unlike most birds that have “hollow” bones. This is the reason they need such a long ran to get airborne.

Two young firemen take the hose during training in a parking lot in Richmond, Virginia…They were actually under an overpass on the edge of the parking lot shooting at different junctions of the understructure.
