Seattle, Washington, USA.
Light trails flow seamlessly on Interstate 5 south of downtown Seattle. Along the left side of the frame, one can see CenturyLink Field -- previously Qwest Field (2004-2011), and previously Seahawks Stadium (2002-2004) -- which is home to the Seattle Seahawks football team.
Last month, I permanently deleted by Facebook and Instagram accounts (without remorse). I discuss the reasons in my latest, and probably most personal, blog article: "Divorcing the King & Queen of Social Media: Facebook & Instagram."

View from the old part of village Podaca on the sea :)
Podaca is a coastal village and tourist locality in southern Dalmatia, Croatia. It's divided in three neighborhoods that are seamlessly connected to next willages: Kapeć, Viskovića vala and Ravanje.
Old Podaca was founded on the rocky slopes as defensible location, and there are traces of human habitation since Stone Age. During the Roman rule this area was administrated from Narona. After an earthquake in 1962, almost the entire population migrated to the coastal area and the old settlement of Podaca under the Biokovo mountains is almost completely abandoned. Currently, the main source of income for the inhabitants is tourism, but they also engage in fishing, agriculture and cultivation of olive groves.

Widok na morze ze starej części miejscowości Podaca :)
Podaca – wieś w Chorwacji, położona w południowej części Riwiery Makarskiej, u podnóża Biokova. Składa się z trzech części: Kapec, Viskovica Vala i Ravanje. Podaca powstała na skalistych zboczach Biokova, w strategicznym miejscu, gdzie znajdują się ślady osadnictwa pochodzące z epoki kamiennej. Podczas panowania rzymskiego miejscowość była administrowana z Narony. Po trzęsieniu ziemi w 1962 roku, niemal cała ludność przeniosła się do strefy przybrzeżnej, zaś stara osada Podaca pod klifami Biokova jest prawie zupełnie opuszczona. Obecnie głównym źródłem dochodu mieszkańców jest turystyka, ale zajmują się też rybołówstwem, rolnictwem i uprawianiem gajów oliwnych.
The Jakob-Kaiser-Haus is the largest complex of government offices built in connection with the transfer of the German federal government from Bonn to Berlin. It houses the staff of the governing coalition members and comprises over 2,000 office rooms, two large committee halls, many conference rooms, extensive cafeteria facilities and a fully-equipped TV studio. The complex was designed and built by a consortium of four architecture firms. The section designed by de Architekten Cie. forms roughly a quarter of the whole complex. It is situated in a prominent location between the Reichtsag and the Brandenburger Tor.
The building encloses two courtyards, one of which has been covered with a glass roof. The resulting space serves as an entrance hall for the southern part of the Jakob-Kaiser-Haus. The wooden panelling gives the entrance hall the character of an interior room; the adjacent courtyard exudes, by contrast, a sense of external space. The two courtyards remain in visual contact with each other by a two-storey tall opening at ground level, interrupting the strictly orthogonal main structure of the master plan. The street façades reflect the theme of the interior court in two different ways. The Ebertstrasse façade, providing a view of the Tiergartenpark, presents a lively clair obscur by way of the three-dimensional effect of the natural stone framework with its recessed terracotta panels. Attached to the Dorotheenstrasse façade is an additional glass “shell” which marks the entrance and places an accent in the street with its primarily stony façades. Seen from the working spaces the glass shell creates a visual wintergarden, increasing in this narrow street the users` privacy. The previously existing building, the Kammer der Technik built between 1912 and 1914, has been entirely integrated into the new structure. From a functional viewpoint, its office spaces fit in seamlessly with the new building.

The interior designer Caroline tries to assemble a nonrepeating pattern discovered by the David Smith from Yorkshire. The shape is supposed to be a in a nonrepeating pattern a so called “einstein” or “one stone. Usually wallpaper or tiled floor are part of an infinite pattern that repeats periodically. An aperiodic tiling displays no such “translational symmetry,” and mathematicians have long sought a single shape that could tile the plane in such a fashion. This is known as the einstein problem.
Desde Tarifa con amor! de los atardeceres más bonitos de contemplar y más aplaudidos cuando el sol se oculta, porque aquí celebramos la puesta de sol cada día, la gente se agrupa en torno al ocaso y cuando el sol desaparece rompen el silencio en una gran ovación, te pone el vello de punta os lo aseguro!
Realizada con filtro ND 6 pasos y ayudada por la cartulina negra para paliar la fuerte luz sobre el horizonte.
Editada en lighroom ligeramente y por separado con la herramienta degradado para el cielo y luego otra para el primer plano.
En photoshop en ligero enfoque de paso alto y voilá!
Gracias a tod@s por vuestras palabras y feliz comienzo de semana!!!
Precioso el cielo y el día tan espectacular que nos regaló Tenerife, el sol quería asomar tímidamente y de vez en cuando lo hacía pero no el suficiente tiempo para arruinarte una larga exposición, en este caso me ayudé un poco de la cartulina negra para la toma y del filtro ND de 10 pasos para conseguir ese equilibrio entre el movimiento del cielo, un poco empastado y las sedas del agua que mecía la orilla incesantemente, 98 segundos para captar la esencia al menos del encuadre que buscaba.
El mar estaba un poco alborotado y sentías el salitre pegado a la cara por lo que algunas tomas se arruinaron debido a no limpiar la lente adecuadamente.
En lightroom modifiqué el encuadre ya que era me había quedado un poco centrado el roque y opté por un formato un poco más rectangular que espero sea de vuestro agrado!
Intenté controlar las luces y apliqué un filtro degradado en el cielo para potenciar el movimiento, en photoshop con el pincel sobreexponer lo pase al 1% sobre las rocas del primer plano en modo iluminación para potenciar el brillo que debaja el agua, luego una ligera mascara de enfoque de paso alto y voilá!!!
Muchas gracias por pasaros.
This scene captures the vibrant essence of Mechelen, a historic city in Belgium, known for its well-preserved medieval architecture and cultural significance. The buildings along this pedestrian street showcase traditional Flemish architecture with ornate facades and intricate gables, reflecting the city's rich history.

Economically, Mechelen thrives as a hub of trade and tourism. The bustling street in the image is lined with cafes and shops, indicating the city's reliance on local and international visitors. Historically, the city played a significant role in the cloth trade during the Middle Ages, and this legacy continues as Mechelen markets itself as a destination for unique crafts, jewelry, and artisanal goods. Today, its vibrant local economy combines traditional industries with modern business opportunities.
Culinary traditions are also highlighted in Mechelen's street life. The cafes seen in the image represent Belgium's renowned love for gastronomy. Visitors can enjoy regional specialties like Mechelen's famous 'cuckoo' chicken, paired with Belgian fries, or indulge in craft beers brewed locally. Dessert lovers often find themselves enchanted by the city's assortment of waffles, chocolates, and pastries, all of which are easily accessible in this lively district.
Overall, this street scene encapsulates the essence of Mechelen as a harmonious blend of history, culture, and modernity. The cobblestone square at the forefront evokes a sense of timelessness, while the vibrant activity and colorful shopfronts signal a city alive with energy.

This images were shot with the sole purpose of being masked out for advertising. I was not informed that before the shoot, so no seamless was used sadly :(
Strobist info:
Key light: x1600 into 60" octabank high cam right
Fill light: abr800 on cam for fill.
The title reflects the Police song I'm listening to.
This was an experiment... softbox above camera, SB800 hitting the seamless, 2 Vivitar whatever-they're-calleds aimed toward camera. I call this a proof of concept because I'm too lazy to mask out the stands and optical triggers.
I originally planned to somehow be clever and say something regarding Obama and the static conservatives are throwing out there about socialism (as if it's such a bad thing).
I imagine this same kind of shot can be accomplished with a flash pointed toward the seamless and another one to the back of the subject, the light would probably wrap enough, yes?
So yeah, shooting/editing photos of myself makes me lazy. Not enough of a narcissist I 'spose.
Strobist info:
One AB800 with large softbox very close camera right.

I didn't realize this shot was quite as popular as it was, but I guess in retrospect it's fairly obvious.
But I do consider this shot to be a lot better than a lot of the bart blur shots you see out there, because of the way the reflections are preserved and how the features of the metal retain a crispness that lots of people seem to lose.
Mostly I'm proud of this shot because it is one of those things where I saw an opportunity, set my camera correctly, and took the shot I imagined in my head and it came out the way I expected. From the perspective of my personal journey as a photographer (#leanintoit), that's good stuff.

A moose calf peeks through the golden autumn leaves, blending seamlessly into its serene forest surroundings. What a great weekend....lots of moose so get ready for moose overload. While I absolutely love my bulls, coming across this little cutie and its mama surrounded by golden aspens just might have been the highlight of my weekend.
