Detail of an old demonstration-style hand-cranked electrical generator

The smaller gear has a diameter of about a half-inch (1cm)

The larger gear has a diameter of about two inches (4cm)

When the operator (via the hand crank) turns the larger gear one revolution, the coil of wire (connected via an axle to the smaller gear) spins four revolutions, and the faster the coil spins, the more voltage is produced by the generator.

HMM!

So this past week we were to practise Balance and Golden Ratio. Honestly not so easy to do... you have to truly look at your scene and dig deep to do this. I imagine as time goes it will get easier ... Learning the rules of photography is fun and challenging.

Thank you for the lovely setting it was taken at ✈️ : Vox Populi

Last period we had some beautiful morning conditions, with fog and sunrises. The perfect recipe for special things to happen😊

Perhaps a bit far-fetched, but in this case the shape of the light beams, reflected by the still water, almost made it look like a part of a diamond!

Mills, mills, mills... and after two days of shooting them I have quite a few up my sleeve. But I have to admit, it was once again a real joy to spend these mornings like this!

From a turnout on the Blue Ridge Parkway from near Humpback Mountain. The Appalachian Mountains in the distance are about 25 miles (40km) away as the crow flies. The two high peaks in the front range of the Appalachians right of center are likely Crawford Mountain on the right and Elliott Knob on the left.

falling, falling...

Il Razionalismo di Sabaudia

Flickr is full of such images, each trying to capture the repeating sequence of curling stairs, some more effective, some less. I suspect this falls in the latter category, but there is, nevertheless, something appealing in the balance of the frame that arrests the eye a little.

If you like my photographs, please consider buying a print at my website, captures.life. I haven't yet finished building the site and putting in all of the terms and conditions and policies, but the bits that involve buying a print, having it delivered, and contacting me if anything isn't working or goes wrong are functioning just fine...

Further down the road I found another scenery, where the harsh light turned out really beneficial. The sun was shining just over the hillside and provided beautiful backlighting on the autumn leaves. With the tele I was able to fully zoom in on the golden diagonals of the landscape, that stood out even more on the very dark ground they were growing on. With a 16:9 aspect ratio I got rid of the last distractions in the frame and this gave an even more abstract approach of the landscape. I always get a lot of fulfilment out of this, often not so obvious, photographs. And despite most of them never make it through my own selection, I do like the way this one turned out.

A child tries to catch rain water in a bottle from a seaside jetty, Yucatan coast.

And a song that fits the subject, sung by Eva Cassidy with a voice as delicate, rich and vibrant as autumn itself:

This is in the clerestory of my wood shop. An 8 to 1 ratio rope winch (8 foot wheel with 1 foot rope drum).

It’s been a while since the last time I’ve uploaded a photograph. Came back last week from a very nice holiday in Spain, where I visited the Costa Brava. With my own family, my brothers families and the cousins we had a wonderful time, and I did a bit of landscape photography as well (not much though). But off course I also enjoy making portraits of my children and cousins, and with the 85mm I got a lovely tool😊 Therefore I like to show an image of two cousins (that weren’t on the vacation actually), from a shoot I did earlier for my lovely sister.

I’m going to take my time the next few days, to look at all the photographs I’ve missed last few weeks. Excuse me for not responding as much as I used to, I just couldn’t find the time to be active on Flickr lately. I'm hoping to be a bit more in the coming weeks!
