My Ray-Ban glasses for a product shoot at school.
i used a regular light (Not strobe or flash) to fill the glasses and the glass holder.
Around the light it was a soft-box to give it a more natural light.
i also had a light shooting at the background to give it that shininess.
Ray Davies - HMV - February 22, 2008
How often do you have a true living rock legend standing only a few feet in front of you? Ray Davies (of The Kinks, of course) stopped into Toronto today to make a rare in-store appearance.
A ray is part of the catch brought in by Yom Thalehleuk, a muslim Moken man, following a fishing trip near the coast of southern Thailand. Usually the Moken are traditional animists or Buddhists, the majority religions in both Myanmar and Thailand. Photo ©2012 IMB/Kelvin Joseph
Panorama of Ray Parellas restaurant on Frankfort Ave in Louisville, KY. Heard the news tonight that they are closing soon, pretty depressing as its one of the best restaurants in the area.
TAXONOMY
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Chondrichthyes
Subclass: Elasmobranchii (sharks and rays)
Order: Rajiformes (Skates and rays)
Family: Myliobatidae (Cownose and Manta Rays)
Genus/species: Rhinoptera javanica
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: R. javanica is a cartilaginous fish with bat-like, swept back pectoral fins. Double-lobed snout and indented forehead. Long, slender tail. Brown above, white below. The stinger is located at base of the tail rather than half way or more down the tail as in the whiptail rays
Width up to 1.5 m (5 ft), weight up to 45 kg (100 lbs).
DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT: Tropical, Indo-West Pacific from South Africa north to India and possibly Thailand, Indonesia and southern China. Also in Okinawa, Ryukyu Islands Inhabitats tropical bays, estuaries, among mangroves, and near coral reefs over sand and mud bottoms. Can tolerate brackish water.
DIET IN THE WILD: Feeds on clams, oysters and crustaceans. The ray sucks in sand and expels it out of its gills, blowing off sand covering its prey.
REPRODUCTION: Mating pair orient in a venter to venter position, and the male inserts one or both claspers. Ovoviviparous, 1–2 pups per litter. Females have been known to leap out of the water and slam into the surface; this action seems to be an aid in birthing.
CONSERVATION STATUS: IUCN listed: Vulnerable. A declining population is inferred from the unregulated nature of inshore fisheries as well as small litter size.
REMARKS: Like its pelagic relatives the manta and devil rays, it swims by flapping its pectoral fins like wings, enabling it to swim at greater speeds than most bottom dwelling stingrays. Sometimes these “wings” protrude above the water, bearing a frightening resemblance to a shark.

while preparing for an event (someone was sweeping the floor) the dust was dancing in front of the lights....
I tried to photograph a ski run light in Whistler. The shot turned out to have unintentional, but interesting effects.
The Rays Hill Tunnel was originally dug as part of the South Pennsylvania Railroad. It was never opened because in 1885, J.P.Morgan bought out the S-Pa. Picks and shovels were left to rot in the woods.
In the 1930s, the route was purchased by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission and the tunnel was rebuilt to become the 3,532 foot tunnel you see here. Rays Hill, as the shortest tunnel on the turnpike, was the only one that did not need ventilation fans at both ends.
The bottleneck of squeezing four lanes of traffic through two lanes of tunnel became too much and in 1969 the tunnel was abandoned in favor of a daylighted bypass around 11 miles of turnpike.

Ray Lamontagne is simply one of the best musicians, ever. Such a good story, and even better music. Fantastic live. An all time favorite for me.

Morning sunrise at Mona Vale Beach, NSW.
Arrived at the location a tad late but luckily there were clouds hanging around the horizon not only to hide the sun but also showed its beautiful rays. Hope you guys like it. Enjoy the long weekend!

On many mornings this ray and its family are feeding near the currents under the bay bridge as I walk or run by at dawn. They are poetry in motion.
Soaring on wings that cannot fly
scouring the sand for life
drifting over beds where treasures lie
living below the worldly strife
The gentle undulation of sturdy wings
in grace beyond mere mortals
the joy of spirit within sings
with this glimpse of other portals
With colors of grey, or blue or green
the angels of the deep
glide stately by when they are seen
giving memories to keep
~Michael R. Ault
I love sunflowers so I planted some in my yard and the other morning I went out and had some fun shooting them. I like how the rays of sunlight are coming down. Hope you all are having a great weekend!
