I realize this is a similar shot to several others I have published but I found the variance in the sky and weather can give it a completely different feel. This one was one of my favorites and I have saved it for last. I love the difference between the warm tones on the left, the cooler blues on the right, and the bright appearance of the vanishing point, like a door that only needs to be reached and opened.
I realize, but I like the end result.
This is a piece that started out as a hydranga, again that I was going to use for Bokeh Wednesday, and found itself becoming something like a piece of art in my eyes. I just couldn't help playing with it until I got it to the mood I felt fit the photo and made it more dramatic at least in my eyes! I hope you like it.

I'm sorry I've posted so many tonight. As I have said in the past, when I have time to work on my photography, I like to get as much done as possible and share with all my friends. Thanks for being so understanding!
After we realized the Bison were going to stay put we headed back to try another trail. I looked over the fence and I saw this cow who was very curious about the activity on the other side of the fence. I got quite the stare down!

(TMS) Ocean Beach Tribal Carbon/Pink
The most beautiful and detailed (TMS)Ocean Beach ever seen on Second Life.Interiors and exteriors completely redesigned.A lot of working hours were needed to make this boat and about 50 textures have been applied.
Reflections, luminosity and alpha totally revised, but you do not have to worry because to apply all this you will have to do only one simple operation:
drag a script from the inventory to over your Ocean Beach . Just a simple mouse movement and your new boat will be ready to sail in the Linden seas. ⛵⛵⛵

I realize this is a door, but "Just don't hit, push, kick, punch or otherwise hurt me anymore" is never something anyone should say. If someone is purposely hurting you, there is no "anymore." There's only get the hell out. It's not easy, and usually requires help and support, but it's essential.

I took a picture of the Andromeda Galaxy on August 26th, 2017 - and again on August 26th, 2022.
Watch the Video: youtu.be/HIXb_hGCFRM
In this video, Ashley and I travel to Starfest in Ontario, Canada. I decided to shoot the Andromeda Galaxy, and didn't realize that it was exactly 5 years after (to the day) to one of my first attempts.
A lot has changed since then, and it feels like it all changed on that night.
A few months ago, I realized that it was possible to align the May 15, 2022 lunar eclipse over Yosemite's Half Dome at twilight if I hiked up North Dome. Unfortunately Tioga Road (the obvious trailhead) was closed when the date arrived, so Matthew Saville and I had to hike up the (much longer) Yosemite Falls trail to North Dome. The total trip distance was something around 20 miles, 4000 ft vertical of gain and loss, and we carried 6 camera setups (including a star tracker and Canon 70-200 f/2.8L IS II, which is what I used to shoot this). Griff Joyce, who in 2020 led 50 people up Half Dome at night, and Mark Vierra donned harnesses and climbed the not-yet-up cables to place a light on the summit for this photo.
Clouds rolled in a little while after I took this photo, making the long exposures and timelapse video a little less clean than I had hoped. But so goes landscape photography.
This is a single exposure. There was no compositing, focal length blending, or HDRing. I like my landscape photos organic and free of artificial ingredients.
Realize friends, time’s file is a bow.
Every moment’s tooth’ed wave
Vibrates with rosined hairs
Into strings of earth.
Violin years play airs;
Each a new harmonic cave,
Rasped smooth by the new water's flow.
A two destination in one trip photo extravaganza! Bosque birding at the two Bosque Tingley Beach Ponds and then over to the BioPark to see what I can see. I park, then walk 200 yards (183 meters) to get into the park and realize I have a 35mm f1.2 lens on the D850 instead of the 105mm macro (that I left at home – how to make this mistake, OMG)… back to the car, put on the 24-70mm, all of this with a tripod and return to the park hoping for something with the wrong lens! I have now walked a half mile… the 24-70mm is a great lens but it’s not right… well, I need to get something!! This is a 20 image Helicon software focus stacking result. You can see the wind was picking up as a couple of the petals show ghosts from out of aligned images... best I could do!
The reservoir - a very large water body of one of the biggest rivers in India (GodavarI) was full of life. The water had receded a few 100 meters from the banks and the wetlands have become magnets for over 4-5000 birds. The gulls were on the waters edge which had lots of small fish that were jumping out of the water. And there was competition between the gulls, terns and cormorants. The scuffle was very interesting and provided lot of opportunities.
The Brown headed gull is an asiatic bird that is found on the coasts and near lakes within 100-150 km inland all the way from Pakistan to China. These are now in breeding plumage - the brown head is indicative of that.
An hour with the gulls and it was a wonderful and memorable experience for me. Realize that it is my preferred birding activity. Sit at one place, observe and shoot while learning new things - but that is very hard to do and few places around us offer such opportunity.
Many thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
Most people don't realize that this is not just about working conditions...it's about learning conditions. The schools that have the chairs and desks that are falling apart, the lead in the water (a high number of public school drinking fountains tested), the roaches and the rats tend to be schools on the South and West sides where we have blighted neighborhoods and food deserts. Children learn very early on that there is no investment in them. Currently, our mayor would rather invest in more police in schools and in neighborhoods instead of in young human beings and that is unacceptable. This is true school to prison pipeline level of racial discrimination and it must stop!
This also filters down to abelism too. If you live in a neighboring district and you happen to have a child with a physical need, you can get top of the line equipment. In Chicago, you have to beg and beg and then you get dirty broken equipment that isn't safe that has literally been stored in a warehouse for decades. That is not OK!

I realized it has been a little while since I have posted a pinhole, so I dredged this one out of the archives. This was taken at Proxy Falls last Fall on a trip with Don and Aaron. I do love this falls.
I have eased off a bit in my shooting of pinhole. It still goes everywhere with me, but it takes me usually about a month or at least a couple of weeks to get through a roll (only 8 shots). Though I am working on a bit of a project with the pinhole at the moment that I hope to have finished within the next 2-3 months involving scenes strictly shot at home, recording daily domestic life. Having some fun with it so far, such as pinhole photos taken from inside the fridge looking out, or in the dryer. Once it is complete, I will be posting it, but it still has some work left to do.
Until then.
I realize this isn't the greatest picture I've ever taken, but this is the first sighting of this bird for me, I think? At my age, it's hard to know for sure. Lord willing there will be more and better photo's to come of these handsome little guy's? :^ )
------------------------------ JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS ALONE!
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus died that death for YOU and I. The good news is there no more punishment for sin left, we were and are all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

I realize this is not for everyone. I took it for an illustration background for a Bible study website. Inspired by John Bunyan's "A Pilgrim's Progress," a still life in subdued and subtle tones.
In the photo: two antique illuminated Bibles c. 1830's (vols. 1 and 3), two antique prayer books c. 1840's, an antique pocket New Testament c. 1840's, an iron spike from the historic Sierra Nevada Sugar Pine railroad c. 1830's, a wood walking stick, modern Bible translations and tools, a modern illuminated Bible, a ram's horn trumpet (shofar), a vase of feathers (quills) from birds around the word.
I realized on day 2 of my road trip from Washington, DC to Los Angeles that I couldn't simply wander around looking for interesting stuff like I would back home. I tried to find places along the way that would be interesting and settled on Mead's Quarry in Knoxville. I figured wherever we ended up would be my only photography stop in Tennessee and wanted a chance to try shooting some reflections in the still waters. It was a good choice despite Scotch being worn out and having only a bit of light left by the time we arrived.

I realize I overshoot this train.It changed power again with this patched SSW GP60 added to the consist.With the cool power it features I will shoot it whenever I can.Seen here climbing up to 12th street yard here at Rutger Street.
I realized I haven't posted many shots from my B.C. trip in the spring of 2022. I'll post more over the next few weeks. This is Avatar Grove on Vancouver Island. I don't usually appear in the photos but the trees are so big it's good to have a person in the shot to show scale. I knew this ahead of time so I brought a red jacket ;)
I posted four today, so be sure to check out the other B.C. pics. More of my photos are at www.burntpixel.ca
I didn't realize the Bradford pear trees actually produce little fruits. Pyrus calleryana, or the Callery pear, is a species of pear tree native to China and Vietnam, in the family Rosaceae. It is most commonly known for its cultivar 'Bradford', widely planted throughout the United States and increasingly regarded as an invasive species. The inedible fruits of the Callery pear are small (less than one cm in diameter), and hard, almost woody, until softened by frost, after which they are readily taken by birds, which disperse the seeds in their droppings. Anyway, this is a new species for my prairie seed collection.

I realized in working on this Macro Mondays challenge, "Slices," that I like eating food, not photographing it. My first attempt was of a sliced hard boiled egg. Hard boiled eggs don't look particularly photogenic up close. I sprinkled some paprika on it to spice it up, but it ended up looking like a crime scene. My wife asked me how it was going with the egg photograph and I replied that it tasted good. So, enter this subject.

This is an 8-image focus stack composite of a single Little Debbie sparkling strawberry unicorn cake. It measures one-inch wide. The cake slices were illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights placed 90° CL/CR, two-feet away and eighteen-inches above the subject, pointing down at 45°. The speedlights were fired through Neewer 24" x 24" soft boxes in Manual mode @ 1⁄8 power.
The SB900's were triggered by three PocketWizard Plus X's.

I realize it's the same old tale that we photogs keep telling.
Patience isn't something I have in abundance, but for some reason I can muster up infinite patience when it comes to getting a shot.
After a drive, ferry and hike, it was looking pretty gloomy at Kalsoy light house in the Faroe Islands.
I was actually prepared to spend the night alone on this cliff but thankfully I didn't have to.
After dodging sheep shayte for 2 hours, the sun finally gave us a 15 minute window of dynamic light.
This is a 5 shot vertical pano shot with an 18mm lens. The distortion caused by the lens and pano software makes that peak look a lot more pointy than it really is. But, I kinda like the look of it so I kept it.
Thanks for looking

In 1874, realizing the need for a school, Bannack Masonic Lodge No. 16 built the combination lodge and school house. Classes were held in this building for nearly 70 years. The school finally closed in 1951 as a result of too few students. Over the years classes were held in various other buildings in town. The Gibson House, next door, the Road Agents Store, across the street, and the church all served as temporary “school rooms.” Students who remember the early years of schooling in Bannack recall snow blowing in through the cracks between the wallboards. School books were rare and usually consisted of only what the families brought with them.
I realized that my description of all the rain that the Trans Pecos has been receiving (and they should be getting rain again today) may have left a mistaken impression. This area is, after all, in a desert. Even with the rain, there will always be opportunities to get out and explore.
Big Bend is famous for the sunset views from The Window in the Basin of the Chisos Mountains and it is certainly a nice view. Sotol Vista Overlook, however, is my favorite. It consistently delivers gorgeous sunsets and it also will give you something that the Window view can not - solitude.
I had this view all to myself if you don't count the quail and the doves that become active during the magic hour surrounding sunset.
I almost always spend an hour or more here because it is so magical. Of course, it is a visual feast but it is also a banquet for all of the senses. The temperature drops with the suns descent and just as the sun disappears, the winds stop for a short lull and then a gentle evening breeze returns. The quail move through the sotols and grasses, calling to each other to gather the covey for the night. Doves also fly by, following the contours of the mountains to find their roosts in the cottonwoods circling the springs in the valleys. In the fall, the sotols bloom stalks wave in the breeze like an army of spears.
Silence is total until the delicate sounds of nature awaken in the glow of the setting sun. Or, perhaps it is just me that is refreshed by the setting sun and my hearing is gradually attuned to the sounds of the transition from day into night.
I treasure these moments and am glad I can share them with you.

My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
I realized that I hadn't eaten in a while. My complicated mood has reached such a level that I forget what I have to do. I realized that I hadn't eaten for a while, as soon as I got up from where I was sitting, as a result of my dizziness and falling to the ground. When I measured my blood pressure and blood values as soon as I came to myself, I realized that I had not eaten anything for a long time. My psychological state had almost destroyed my sense of hunger. While I should have measured my biological values twice a day, I realized that I had not done these for a while. Since there is no one inside my spaceship to warn me but myself, the probability of this situation happening again is quite high. There is nothing here to remind me of me, except the computer that gives a warning when I forget to measure my biological values. Just because I turned off the computer's warning system a while ago doesn't mean I don't care about myself. Rather, it was something I did to get away from living like a robot. It was just one of my attempts to feel human again. Turning off the computer's warning system also helped. I took myself out of the routine and let myself go with the flow of life. This made me a little bit happy. I guess the routines I had to follow on this space journey made me live like a robot. But I was not a robot. I was a human. And I had feelings. These were the emotions I had to experience. I think it's been quite a long journey for a human, this space travel. It was a journey long enough to make a person get lost in his mind. This is a more complex disappearance than being lost in the depths of space. I still have not deviated from my course in this space journey that causes journeys to the past in the depths of the mind. I don't want to go back to planet earth before I find the Plutonians. Maybe I'll never find the plutonians. Maybe I'm looking for a civilization that has disappeared. In this case, this search could take forever. I think it has turned into a commitment for me. I consider myself part of the plutonian civilization. But on the other hand, my belonging to planet Earth, that is to my home, forces me to return home. I am going through a very difficult time. There are dozens of questions running through my mind. All I do is sleep and daydream when I have to find answers to each question. It's the only way for me to escape reality. Because, as soon as I answer the questions in my mind, I know that I will change the course of my spacecraft to planet earth and put an end to this space travel. That's why I need to avoid the questions that occupy my mind. This situation adversely affects my biological health. I don't forget to eat is only one of them. I still don't know what to do. I think it would be best if I put a stop to this post here for something to eat. See you in the next post. Take care of your soul...

I realize that in these dire times I am truly blessed with having a lot of wildlife around my house and while obeying the rules set upon us by the Dutch government to stay at home, I can still go out photographing without meeting other people.
And with spring just around the corner, also my favorite Kestrel couple returned to the nest!! Spent a few days in my little hide to take shots of the male courting the female. Hopefully they'll have a successful nest as last year they broke up before they had any chicks.
Therefore.. although they don't seem to notice me sneaking up to the hide, I'll leave them alone until the female is well and truly nesting to not interrupt their courting. Who needs onlookers when you try to persuade a lovely lady to become the mother of your children! :-)
Hopefully will be continued!
Stay safe everyone!!

Shopping trip to Castle Douglas ( did not realize 2nd January is a bank holiday in Scotland!) Found the American Ring-necked Duck on Carlingwark loch. You can see from the image it is still in molt. With both my cameras broken i am using Pats Nikon hence not that sharp.
I realized I'd never taken one of these shots of the Bay Bridge with the old concrete pilings in the foreground, even though I've admired similar shots by great photographers like MumbleyJoe and Sutanto.
So I got up early this past Sunday morning to try out the light before sunrise. This image is the result, and it's my second attempt at blending multiple exposures.
I realized lately that I was very frustrated with my photostream; especially with the front pages of it. In attempt to stop my consciouness from driving me crazy, i'm uploading some more older stuff I disregarded previously. Enjoy. I'll be adding tags and better descriptions after I get them all loaded on.I realized lately that I was very frustrated with my photostream; especially with the front pages of it. In attempt to stop my consciouness from driving me crazy, i'm uploading some more older stuff I disregarded on a previous run through. Likely because I felt that, although the majority of the recent photos on my stream was more experimental and where I am heading as a photographer right now, these newer images represent where i've been as a photographer, which is important too.
Hopefully i'm not beating an already dead horse.. but some of my earlier contacts will recognize this shot from previously in my stream. Except i found this one this afternoon and the balloons are turned a different way. I think it looks better; what do you think? comments? opinions?
As an FYI, this was taken lying on my back in palm springs. It was for a huge private party, i saw the balloons go into this formation and I shot off film like crazy!
When you realize that photography is one of those rare inventions that allows you to take something and preserve it for potentially forever, that you understand a bit better the magic of it all.
Realizing that the bird feeder was an attractive nuisance, I've started to bring it in when it starts to get dark. My daily visitor was not too happy with this situation. It came back several times just to make sure it really, truly was gone.
I realized I needed to work harder on my darkroom skills, if I want to get just a little bit close to the epic landscapes of Don McCullin.
So over the last couple of weeks, I've been teaching myself dodging and burning techniques and more elaborate use of filters for contrast control in the darkroom.

Do You Realize
The Flaming Lips
One, two, three, four
Do you realize
That you have the most beautiful face?
Do you realize
We're floating in space?
Do you realize
That happiness makes you cry?
Do you realize
That everyone you know someday will die?
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes
Let them know you realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Do you realize?
Ah-ah-ah
Do you realize
That everyone you know someday will die?
Sometimes you just gotta go with the flow.
This morning at 4:30am, I got out of bed, to go to the beach, to photograph a sea stack.
At 9:30am, I arrived home with a photograph of two trees, on a hillside.
Sometimes, things take a turn, for the better..
Hope you like “Do You Realize”
Cheers, Mike

Today i m leaving to my native town Izheves, it was a long time i haven’t been there. Miss my friends and relatives. But it wouldn’t be a long trip, i will come back in the end of the week, so see You in a while Filckr and my dear Friends!!! Will miss you too!!!
and with THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!!!!! URAAA :)
That moment you realize you are absolutely exhausted, yet you’re still desperately in love…
"I could go back to every laugh
But I don’t wanna go there anymore
And I know all the steps up to your door
But I don’t wanna go there anymore
Talk to the wind, talk to the sky
Talk to the man with the reasons why
And let me know what you find
I’ll leave my window open
‘Cause I’m too tired at night to call your name
Just know I’m right here hoping
That you’ll come in with the rain"
