Botrychium virginianum (L.) Sw., syn.: Osmunda virginiana L.
Rattlesnake Fern, DE: Virginische Mondraute, Virginischer Traubenfarn
Slo.: virginijska mladomesečina
Dat.: June 12. 2015
Lat.: 46.33 Long.: 13.63 (coordinates not precise)
Code: Bot_886/2015_DSC7186
Habitat: Riverine forest of river Soča, dense thicket in light mixed wood, Salix eleagnos, Picea abies dominant trees (Lamioorvalae-Salicetum eleagni s.lat. Dakskobler, Šilc & Čušin) (Ref.:4.); calcareous alluvial ground, flat terrain; humid place, in shade; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; elevation 430 m (1.410 feet), average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region.
Substratum: soil.
Place: Lower Trenta valley, left bank of river Soča near Podklanc settlement, East Julian Alps, Posočje, Slovenia EC.
Comments: Botrychium virginianum had been long time on my wish list. In spite of the fact that I was told in which wood to search, I've had no success in finding it for several years. This year it finally happened. We found a rich stand of several tens of plants in their best shape plus many young ones without fertile leaf.
Botrychium virginianum is widely distributed North American-Euro Siberian fern distributed in Europe in (mostly east part of) the Alps and the Carpathians. It is a rare to very rare, everywhere protected plant growing in montane to subalpine elevations of the Alps in Germany, Austria, Italy and Slovenia. In Switzerland it is very rarely found and marked in the state's red list as 'before extinction or already extinct' (Ref.:6.).
Botrychium virginianumis a tender, all green plant growing on secluded places, in mountain forests in narrow dark gorges and riverine woods. It is usually well hidden in deep green ground thickets (see picture 10.) No wonder, it is not easy to spot it. When mature it has two leaves. Green and sterile leaf, which is three to four times pinnate and a yellowish-green fertile leaf, which is two to three times pinnate, baring round sporangia and producing spores.
Enlisted in the Slovene Red List of rare and endangered species, marked by "R" representing a rare species.

EXHIBITION
100 Best Posters 14
GERMANY, AUSTRIA, SWITZERLAND
MI, MO 11/11/2015, 03/28/2016
MAK Art Print Hall
Already for the tenth time, the MAK in the exhibition 100 Best Posters 14. Germany Austria Switzerland shows the hundred most compelling design concepts in the probably hottest medium of visual everyday culture: the poster. The current winning projects of the popular graphic design competition are characterized by an enigmatic pictural humor, explosive colors as well as precise designs and demonstrate impressively that a poster can be more than just an banal advertising space. Many of the award-winning works furthermore also rely on a subtle play with typography. Innovative ideas can also be found in the manufacturing process: This year's competition shows that you can readily knit posters in high-tech process or use a thermo-insulating space blanket as carrier material for screen printing.
Hardly any medium is such clocked on the consumption and nevertheless sets trends at the cutting edge. "[...] The poster designer challenges himself repeatedly and enjoys himself at gained symbols." Says Götz Gramlich, President of the association 100 Best Posters eV, and he postulats. "A good poster unfolds in the mind of the beholder."
From over 1 800 submitted individual posters, composed of contract work, self-initiated posters/self-promotion as well as student project orders from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, awarded the international jury, consisting of Richard van der Laken (Amsterdam, Chairman), Christof Nardin (Wien), Jiri Oplatek (Basel), Nicolaus Ott (Berlin) and Ariane Spanier (Berlin), the 100 winning posters of the year 2014.
In the competition participated 575 submitters (men and women), of which 48 are from Austria, 128 from Switzerland and 399 from Germany. The leader among the winning 100 best is Switzerland with 51 winning projects, followed by 44 German and 5 Austrian contributions.
The by sensomatic design (Christine Zmölnig and Florian Koch, Vienna) designed catalog offers in addition to the illustrations of all the winning posters and the contacts with the designers also this year a captivating essay by Thomas Friedrich: On the dialectics of image and text in the poster today. In a concise way, he looks at the contextuality of posters and explains the theme facetiously and pictorially based on a poster for a bullfight. Read more in the catalog!
For the corporate design of this year's competition and the new Web Visuals also sensomatic design, Vienna, is responsible. Since June 2014, the new online archive on the homepage of the 100 Best Posters Registered Association offers a comprehensive overview of all award-winning works from the years 2001-2014.
The exhibition takes place in cooperation with 100 Best Posters e. V.

AUSSTELLUNG
100 Beste Plakate 14
DEUTSCHLAND ÖSTERREICH SCHWEIZ
MI, 11.11.2015–MO, 28.03.2016
MAK-KUNSTBLÄTTERSAAL
Bereits zum zehnten Mal zeigt das MAK in der Ausstellung 100 BESTE PLAKATE 14. Deutschland Österreich Schweiz die einhundert überzeugendsten Gestaltungskonzepte im wohl heißesten Medium der visuellen Alltagskultur: dem Plakat. Die aktuellen Siegerprojekte des beliebten Grafikdesignwettbewerbs bestechen mit hintergründigem Bildwitz, explosiver Farbgebung sowie exakten Ausführungen und demonstrieren eindrücklich, dass ein Plakat mehr als nur banale Werbefläche sein kann. Viele der prämierten Arbeiten setzen außerdem auf ein subtiles Spiel mit Typografie. Innovative Ideen finden sich auch im Herstellungsprozess: Der diesjährige Wettbewerb zeigt, dass man Plakate ohne Weiteres im Hightech-Verfahren stricken oder eine thermo-isolierende Rettungsdecke als Trägermaterial für einen Siebdruck verwenden kann.
Kaum ein Medium ist derart auf den Verbrauch hin getaktet und setzt dennoch Trends am Puls der Zeit. „[…] der Plakatgestalter fordert sich immer wieder selbst heraus und erfreut sich an gewonnenen Sinnbildern.“ so Götz Gramlich, Präsident des Vereins 100 Beste Plakate e. V., und er postuliert: „Ein gutes Plakat entfaltet sich im Kopf des Betrachters.“
Aus über 1 800 eingereichten Einzelplakaten, zusammengesetzt aus Auftragsarbeiten, selbst initiierten Plakaten/Eigenwerbungen sowie studentischen Projektaufträgen aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz, prämierte die international besetzte Fachjury, bestehend aus Richard van der Laken (Amsterdam, Vorsitz), Christof Nardin (Wien), Jiri Oplatek (Basel), Nicolaus Ott (Berlin) und Ariane Spanier (Berlin), die 100 Siegerplakate des Jahres 2014.
Am Wettbewerb hatten sich 575 EinreicherInnen beteiligt, davon 48 aus Österreich, 128 aus der Schweiz und 399 aus Deutschland. Spitzenreiter unter den prämierten 100 Besten ist die Schweiz mit 51 Siegerprojekten, gefolgt von 44 deutschen und 5 österreichischen Beiträgen.
Der von sensomatic design (Christine Zmölnig und Florian Koch, Wien) gestaltete Katalog bietet neben den Abbildungen aller Siegerplakate und den Kontakten zu den GestalterInnen auch dieses Jahr einen bestechenden Aufsatz von Thomas Friedrich: Zur Dialektik von Bild und Text im Plakat heute. In pointierter Form geht er auf die Kontextualität von Plakaten ein und erklärt das Thema witzig und bildhaft anhand eines Plakats für einen Stierkampf. Mehr dazu im Katalog!
Für das Corporate Design des diesjährigen Wettbewerbs und die neuen Web-Visuals zeichnet ebenfalls sensomatic design, Wien, verantwortlich. Seit Juni 2014 bietet das neue Online-Archiv auf der Homepage der 100 Beste Plakate e. V. einen umfassenden Überblick aller prämierten Arbeiten aus den Jahren 2001 bis 2014.
Die Ausstellung findet in Kooperation mit 100 Beste Plakate e. V. statt.

When was the world's first railway laid? No one is quite confident on a precise date but simple rails have been used to guide vehicles for centuries, definitely as far back as the middle ages and possibly even in ancient Greece.
What is certain is that in the early 1600s a Nottinghamshire businessman called Huntingdon Beaumont came to Northumberland and laid rails from collieries near Blyth to a shipping point on the coast.
His waggonway used horses hauling wooden waggons on wooden wheels on wooden rails, however this was not a financial success. It did though provide the spark of progression from primitive wooden rails over short distances, to a railway network which would change Britain and the world forever.
Tyneside Roads
From the mid 1600 onwards waggonways and the Tyneside coal industry became linked so closely that they were known throughout the rest of Britain as 'Tyneside Roads'. A network of lines linked collieries on both sides of the Tyne to the river.
It is no coincidence that the North East was the area where waggonways took greatest hold, because canal building was impossible due to deep valleys and steep hills. What set the rail systems of Tyneside apart from all others was its use of the flanged wheel - a key element of the modern railway as we know it.
A revelation
When the Tanfield Railway - or waggonway as it was known at the time - was built in 1725, it was a revelation. Its massive engineering was unlike anything else in its era, or even since the Roman Empire. It was a triumph of engineering over nature, a clear signal that a new industrial age was upon the world, and that railways would play a massive part.
First laid down more than a quarter of a century before the first railway officially sanctioned by government, over 75 years before the first steam locomotive and a whole 100 years earlier than the Stockton and Darlington Railway, the Tanfield Railway is the world's oldest railway. We will be the first railway to celebrate our tricentenary in 2025.
Drosera anglica Huds., syn.: Drosea longifolia L.
EN: English Sundew, Great Sundew, DE: Langblatt-Sonnentau
Slo.: dolgolistna rosika
Dat.: June 10. 2008
Lat.: 45.90000 Long.: 14.10000 (coordinates not precise)
Code: Bot_270/2008_DSC8994
Habitat: nutrients poor wetland, small marshland next to a local road; flat terrain; mostly sunny; elevation 570 m (1.870 feet); average precipitations 1.800-2.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-9 deg C, borderline between Dinaric and prealpine phytogeographical region.
Substratum: wet soil.
Place: Žejna dolina valley, next to the local road from village Hotedršica toward the settlement Medvedje Brdo, (about 2 km north from the village Hotedršica), Notranska, Slovenia EC.
Comment: Genus sundew (Drosera) is large. It encompasses (depending on source) from 150 to more than 200 species. It can be found on all continents except Antarctica. But, only three species (hybrids excluded) are native to Europe as well as toSlovenia.
Drosera anglica is widely distributed insectivorous plant (see Ref.: 8) and circumpolar boreal-montane element. The plant gets a part of nutrients needed from captured insects. Therefore, it is able to occupy relatively infertile habitats with very little nutrients and minerals available. Plants catch mostly small insects.
Their leaf surface is covered with special hairs, each one topped with a red oval gland surrounded by a droplet of viscous liquid that sparkles from far like morning dew. These glands have three functions. They secrete droplets of the 'liquid glue' that catch and hold the insects, produce the enzymes needed to digest them, and absorb the nutrients released when insects decompose. As the insects struggles to free themselves they activate folding up of the leaves around them and neighboring hairs ensnare them even more securely. Once digestion is completed and the glandular hairs absorb the nutrients, they resume their initial positions waiting on new catch.
Drosera anglica is a relatively rare species in Slovenia, significantly rarer than common sundew (Drosera rotundifolia). It is considered endangered. Taking into account its very broad distribution, IUCN-Red list considers it 'near threatened' (NT) species (Ref.: 9). Suitable habitats are disappearing apparently unstoppably. To worsen the situation, the species is highly intolerant to nitrogen (Ref.: 7), which makes many of the remaining wetlands unsuitable for settlement because of increasing artificial fertilization of land.
Protected according to: Uredba o zavarovanih prostoživečih rastlinskih vrstah, poglavje A, Uradni list RS, št. 46/2004 (Regulation of protected wild plants, chapter A, Official Gazette of Republic Slovenia, no. 46/2004), (2004).
Pravilnik o uvrstitvi ogroženih rastlinskih in živalskih vrst v rdeči seznam, Uradni list RS, št. 82/2002 (Regulation of enlisting of endangered plant and animal species onto Red List, Official Gazette of Republic Slovenia, no. 82/2002) (2002). Enlisted in the Slovene Red List of rare and endangered species, marked by "V" representing a vulnerable species.

A more precise drawing showing the spiral paths through the "time" dimension (down=blue(-) and up=yellow(+)).
Wilbur's path:
> Red (+spacetime)
> Yellow (+timespace)
> Green (-spacetime)
> Blue (-timespace)
> Red (+spacetime) ... etc...
With this device Wilbur can "stop" his spacetime.
Like the Wilbur's racetrack, this drawing is also a Space-Time diagram where the horizontal axis represents space and the vertical axis represents time.
However, in this drawing the metric is different. The two "Timespace" axes are curved so in that part of the drawing, radial distance represents time and space goes "in and out" of the drawing (on the z-axis).
In both the spacetime and timespace diagrams, proper time (the time Wilbur sees on his clock) is represented by the length of the line he follows as he traverses the 4 helical spiral paths.
A stationary observer's clock rate (as seen by Wilbur) is represented by the pitch angle of his helical path through the Spacetime Trumpet.
About fifty years earlier to be precise. It started off as a not very well partially made Will's white metal kit. I more or less had to desconstruct it then rebuild it from scratch. It was designed to be mounted on a Triang Brittania chassis. So I bought one second hand (cheapskate) and bingo a Peppercorn A1.
The Peppercorn A1 and A2's never really captured the enthusiast imagination as did Gresley's stuff. But from a traffic point of view they were very reliable and certainly clocked up the miles. Some of them exceding one million miles within about twelve years.LMS affictionados will try and tell you the mileages were fiddled, but they weren't. They were calculated on drivers' tickets which they filled in at the end of every shift, so their pay could be calculated. But a record was also kept of which engine they had used and it was then added to its mileage record. I know this because I was employed as a clerk at York MPD, when I first joined the railway and that was what we did.
Luckily there are two preseved Peppercorns in existance, the new build A1 Tornado and the A2 Blue Peter, although IMHO I think it doubtful the latter will ever run again.

Spinach & Ricotta Vegetable Lasagna
I'm not terribly precise with my measuring, but it doesn't really matter with this! You really can't go wrong.
3 sheets of fresh lasagna (or however much you need to cover your pan. I usually use a standard lasagna pan.)
Mozzarella cheese
500g ricotta cheese
Milk
1 bunch of english spinach
1 tablespoon of fresh basil
carrots
mushrooms
zucchini
red and green capsicum
and you could add celery, broccoli or anything else.
lentils (I used a 400g can for convenience this time)
1 500g jar of a tomato based pasta sauce
a tablespoon of olive oil
1/2 an onion, diced
1 clove of crushed garlic
Heat oil in a large saucepan/fry pan/ wok. Add onions and garlic and stir until onion is softened. Add all other vegetables (except the spinach) and saute until they're cooked. Stir in lentil and pasta sauce.
Meanwhile, after thoroughly rinsing the spinach, steam it until it starts to wilt. Then, rinse it with cold water and drain, squeeze out the excess water and chop.
Put the ricotta in a bowl and mix with enough milk to make a sauce like consistency. Add basil and spinach and stir.
Spread a layer of the vegetable mix in the bottom of the baking pan and cover with lasagna sheets. Spread the top with a layer of the ricotta and spinach mixture and sprinkle with grated mozzarella. Repeat until you finish with a top layer of ricotta and spinach and cover well with mozzarella.
Bake at 180oC for 30 minutes.
Enjoy!

by Lévi, Eliphas, 1810-1875
Published 1922
To perhaps be a little more precise, maybe I should have titled it Eastern Coyote. But the strain that we have here in Newfoundland is claimed to be different from the Eastern Coyote ... larger and with perhaps some wolf DNA thrown in for good measure ... in other words, a hybrid. Who knows? The only thing I know is, I've been looking for a shot of these critters for some time now and I've finally got a half decent one. It was taken at 8:43 PM, though, and the light was failing, so there's still room for improvement. :-) I've seen them a number of times before ... some even quite close, but never had time to get a shot. I've even 'hunted' them with a call ... without much success.
The coyote is not native to Newfoundland and theories abound as to how they got here. Some even claim our Newfoundland government, in their inestimable widsom, surreptiously introduced this species to keep down the moose population. I certainly wouldn't be surprised if that were true ... after all, they did introduce the moose back in 1904 and we all know what a problem that turned out to be. Also, in 1958,they introduced the Masked Shrew hoping that it would prove to be a check on the larch sawfly, a forest pest. If they did introduce the coyote to keep down the moose population, it certainly backfired on them, though. Because it's not the moose that's suffering as a result of their presence, but rather our native Woodland Caribou. These pests are responsible for killing large numbers of them.
Most likely though they introduced themselves to this island province ... crossing over from Labrador on the pack ice which fills the Strait of Belle Isle in the wintertime. That body of water is only twelve miles wide at its shortest point, so it's not much of a stretch to see that happening.
We also have the wolf here now, too. So, it's anybody's guess how that got here. The wolf, after all, is said to be a significant predator of the coyote where their ranges overlap.

Published 1922
Christ Church, Ipswich, Suffolk
This fine Victorian building is part of the busy life of central Ipswich. To be more precise, this is really a collection of buildings, what was known in the 19th Century as 'an ecclesiastical village'. Perhaps the most well-known of these is the red brick former school, at the western end of the site, which appears to be in pretty much constant use. I know it well from dropping my daughter off for brownies. Secluded at the back of the site is that rare thing, an urban non-conformist graveyard.
The church is today known as Christ Church, and if you look at the noticeboard you will see that its denomination is Baptist/URC. In fact, this building is now the home of several former Ipswich congregations, who have made their way here as their numbers shrunk, and they sold out and moved in here. Most of the other churches are now lost to us, and so this building survives as a memory of our Ipswich non-conformist forebears.
The frontage on to Tacket Street is rather clumsy, the stubby towers appearing to serve no purpose. In fact, if you had come this way before the 1970s you would have seen them surmounted by elegant spires, but these have now gone. It would be good to see them back, although understandably aesthetics are generally not a priority of non-conformist congregations. When the building was opened in January 1858, it was as the home of Tacket Street Congregational Church. But, in fact, it was not the first church on the site. Tacket Street is an ancient street - in medieval times it was home to the town house of the Wingfields, the last remnant of that building being shamefully demolished as recently as the 1990s. Congregationalists had established their first building on this site in the 1680s, at the time of the Act of Toleration, which allowed freedom of worship to all British citizens (as long as they were not Catholics, of course). The need for a new church was a symptom of the triumph of Congregationalism over other non-conformist denominations in East Anglian towns in the middle years of the 19th Century.
During the course of the next century and a half, Tacket Street Congregational established itself as the main focus of Congregationalism in what was its natural habitat, a busy working class industrial town. The building was extended eastwards towards its near neighbour St Pancras at the start of the 20th Century. But after the Second World War, the attractions of liberal non-conformism began to pale, and so other congregations jumped ship to here - there was the tiny rump of Ipswich Presbyterians, leaving Portman Road church to enter the new United Reformed church via the back door of Tacket Street, and the shrinking congregations of Crown Street Congregational, a fine Grecian building demolished for offices, and, more controversially, Turret Green Baptist church. Because of the arrival of the Baptists, Tacket Street Congregational was renamed Christ Church, but the Baptists who come here must be fairly liberal souls in comparison with the militancy of many of their compatriots in Ipswich's thriving Baptist churches.
Along with the interior of St Clement's Congregational church a few hundred metres away, the interior of Christ Church must be one of Ipswich's best kept secrets. It is magnificent. Best of all, the pews of the 1850s have survived (you can see where the organ used to be at the front, before it was moved further east). The grand pulpit of the earlier church survives, carved with fruit and flowers in the Grindling Gibbons style. It has a lockable door at the back to prevent excitable ministers from falling backwards down the steps.
I am told that there is a case being made by some members of the church to replace the numbered pews with modern chairs, but this should be greatly resisted. The pews here are one of the best examples of the work of the decade in all England. The gallery is superb - the best of any 19th Century church in Suffolk. In the 1970s, the interior was redecorated in vibrant whites and blues. The lady who showed me around regretted this, but I thought it had been done extremely well - the white paint of the gallery and roofs creates a feeling of light and space that is entirely successful, and unfamiliar. The congregation here should be proud of what they have done to maintain this building into the 21st Century.

The other day something sad happened.
I know this is meant to be precise recording of my daily activities but it has taken me a couple of days to process what I really wanted to say.
For those of you who have been following this little adventure will remember that in February I mentioned that there was this little stray cat that made it's way into the factory complex I am in.
He/She was rather sickly when we first met. I decided to take on the task of occasionally giving it some food whenever I saw it.
Over the weeks that passed Bella decided that the best name to give it was Dom. It came from a number of conversations where I would often be a little despondent about the fact that I was spending sometimes my last bit of coin to buy food for the cat, and it would eat it and walk off. I would often feel a little rejected that the cat didn't stick around, even though I made, by this point, a really active decision to feed it the best I could.
The name came from the Michael Jackson's track "D.S."
The lyric "Dom Sheldon is a cold man" was kinda fitting to my feelings with the cat, that I would be the one that would feed it, yet also be the one that would have to watch it run away.
The shot above is the two little white plates I served food on, one was meat, one was dry food.
The plastic container was half for milk and the other half for water.
Over the period of this 365 there were a few shoots that I did out side and it was like the cat was a photographer in a past life… it would in the early days perch itself out of the back of one of the many trucks around here… just observing.
I would look back and see this little head fixed on every thing I was doing.
As time went on and I was going through a rather rough patch and couldn't see the beauty in any thing, I remember one of the shots I was not getting the right light, I was getting frustrated… and when I get frustrated I kinda like to curse.
I look over and see Dom, and there it was… sitting in the perfect sunlight to take the shot.
Like always I would thank the cat, and it would do it's thing by running away.
It was like that.
It was never touched by a human and just didn't know what to think of this 6"2" idiot gawking over it.
As time passed and I would sit outside drawing sketches it would come and sit around me.
Just staring at me.
It would always stay it's mandatory 3 feet away…
But, I would talk to it and ask it questions.
It must of thought I was a nutter.
Anyways, as time passed and I fed it and it kept me company in the only way it knew.
It began to teach me something.
It taught me that our expectations on how another person should return love, was just that, our own perceptions.
We are brought up by what ever means and along the way it is often ingrained that a certain "quid pro quo" deal comes with any relationship.
You do something, you have an expectation based on your perception of what you should receive in return.
When it fails, then you question why you continue with your deliverance actions, if your receiving expectations are not met.
Can I just say, that this is something I am learning to change in myself.
Because what we expect to get out of a relationship, can often be the demise of actually learning anything from the relationship.
I see a lot of people expecting quotas to be met, or they walk.
They have a glass and if it is not filled in the ways they like it, then they move on to someone or something that does make them feel that sense of completeness.
I learnt from my relationship from Dom, that if I was to do that and expect him to turn around and say "Ok dude, you are feeding me, I am now yours. You can call me your cat, we can pat a couple of times in the day, and then we can go about our daily lives… you know what… lets have a formulated routine… sound good?"
You know what?
No it doesn't.
How are you expected to see a person shine, a person grow, a person evolve if your preconceived expectations are placed on them?
Isn't it better to see them be themselves and you find the beauty in the structure that is the fact that you have a bond?
That you might get along in one way, and that allowing them to be themselves, helps you grow.
You see them shoot across the sky and you can say… you know what? I know that person, and I respect them to the utmost degree?
Society and what programs it doesn't teach you that. It is more of a "get what you need, or move on" sort of approach.
Well, little mate Dom, you have successfully taught me the other.
I may of never got to fall asleep whilst watching a movie and have you purring at the end of the bed.
But, your little trends and idiosyncrasies really made me happy.
When you would see the car pull in… you would lift your head, look over and give me a look that would say "I will be over when I have finished soaking in this direct sunlight".
That to me is respect.
That to me is understanding.
It is not an easy start, but by God, it pays off.
So anyways, back to the beginning
The other night I was sitting there like every night… and Dom was late.
It started to bother me, as I hadn't seen him for most part of the day, and that was a little strange… cause usually in the morning it really wanted breakfast.
After about an hour of waiting and writing some notes, I hear this clanking… I get up, and walk around looking for the noise.
It was Dom.
It was walking 3 steps and falling over.
It would get back up and walk 3 more steps and collapse.
I walked over to it…
I then noticed it had been struck by something. It's hind leg was dangling like a tea bag.
It looked up at me… and was crying.
I fed it, then wrapped it up.
For the first time it purred when I patted it.
It's swelling was getting worse.
I ran upstairs to call a vet… thinking that would be the normal thing to do.
By the time I had gotten back down, Dom was gone.
The clothe shaken off… Dom had disappeared into the night.
Never to be seen again.
I spose that's the life it knew. It was the way it knew how to deal with it's present situation.
I have to respect that.
So, this shot goes out to Dom. Thank you for all you taught me.
I miss you terribly…
but I loved that you always were yourself. You made me mad. You made me happy. You have made me sad.
You taught me a valuable lesson in understanding.
Thank you little cat.
I love you.
Ryan.
A simple and precise lighting setup for soft, natural portraits
To achieve a soft, flattering, and even light for portraits, I use a simple but effective setup, exactly as shown in the first photo.
👉 Setup elements:
Two vertical LED tubes (like Nanlite Pavotube or similar) placed on each side of the subject. These act as the main light source, creating a broad, diffused light that wraps nicely around the face.
One horizontal LED panel, mounted slightly above or below the lens axis, to fill in any shadows under the chin or eyes.
The subject stands quite close to the lights to make the most of their softness.
👉 Why this setup works:
The vertical LED tubes work like large linear softboxes: they minimize harsh shadows and produce a gentle gradient from light to shadow.
The horizontal light balances the front lighting, avoiding unwanted shadows under the nose or chin.
The result: bright, smooth skin, subtle shaping, and an intimate atmosphere — perfect for tight portraits, beauty, or boudoir shots.
👉 Practical tip:
Adjust the intensity and color temperature of your LEDs to keep the skin tones natural. Use a neutral or dark backdrop to isolate the face and keep the focus on your subject.
Here is an exemple of result:

Workington 1 Frickley 1
Atten 402
On two previous occasions i have got within touching distance of visiting Borough Park. To be precise it was 2.5 miles in 2013 and just two months ago only 2 miles. All this after many years of wanting to visit this historic non league ground. Well today i finally made it. I arrived in glorious Cumbrian sunshine only to see it looking fantastic.
The superb welcome given by the Clubs Officials made you feel at home immediately.
Borough Park is dripping in history. During the 1957/58 season they played the great Manchester United team known as the Busby Babes at home in the 3rd round of the FA Cup, attracting a record crowd of 21,000. This was just a month before eight of the United players lost their lives in the Munich air disaster, the same room a Frickley changed in today.
There are plenty of reminders of former manager Bill Shankly hanging proudly in the lounge. There is also plenty of fantastic steep terracing and spacious stands. I can only imagine what it would feel like to attend a big occasion night game here under the lights with a full house cheering the Reds on.
Frickley played really well, carrying on from their midweek thrashing of FCUM. In fact they they should have won it with three excellent chances in the last ten minutes, best of all the half-volley miss by goal machine Allott. It was just inches wide from sealing all three points for the team from the Yorkshire pit village.
Yes it has been a very long wait to visit Borough Park but it has been well worth it. Shame i did not have enough time to visit Workington Town Rugby League Club across the road, as it looks a fantastic ground. Not a problem really, as it gives me an excuse to return ...... as long as they call me "marra".
