A spontaneous moonlit shoot grabbing the only film I had left in my bag... Rollei Superpan 200. Pushed right to the very end of its sensitivity. Not the ideal film for the job. Wild! haha
Film: Rollei Superpan 200
120 Format
Camera: Rolleiflex Automat Model 2 1938
Tripod
Shutter Release Cable
Metering: Weston Master V
f22 and 10 seconds
I didn't have time to consult the datasheet to compensate for the reciprocity of the film.
Infinity Focus. Couldn't see a thing through the focusing screen of course😂
No filter, Post Edit in Photoshop to bring back a little bit more of the highlights.
Development:
Ilford HC . 1+31 .8 minutes at 20c
Ilford Fixer 4 Minutes 20c
Ilford Wetting Agent 1 minute
I'm chuffed with the results to be honest because I know what a mad rush i had after i decided to shoot in the low light conditions. Changing the roll in cold frosty temperatures, in almost darkness. And setting up the tripod. I expected to maybe have no results at all. But i'm crazy like that so 'rolled with it'.
I also wasn't sure on my development of this film in Ilford HC developer (my only current developer) as I couldn't see a clear mix suggestion for it anywhere online. I assumed it wasn't ideal for the fine grain of superpan 200 haha but, I knew this film shot at low light would have some heavy grain anyway. I wasn't needing fine development results. So I totally winged it using the supposed recipe mix for the predecessor to Superpan 200 -Agfa Aviphot Pan 200!! when it is developed in Kodak's similar HC-110 developer. Formula of 8 Minutes at 20c. Dilution B 1+31. I think it worked out ok.

Visite de l'exposition photos en plein air dans le parc du château de Seneffe.
Grâce au Domaine de Seneffe – Musée de l’Orfèvrerie de la Fédération Wallonie Bruxelles, en coproduction avec la Fondation Mons 2015, le Parc et les jardins accueillent les oeuvres de dix photographes belges. Ils exposent leur vision très personnelle du jardin; en noir et blanc ou en couleur; en hauteur ou en largeur; selon leur sensibilité, leur expression, les histoires qu'ils veulent bien partager avec vous.
Visit the open-air photo exhibition in the castle of Seneffe park.
Due to the Domaine de Seneffe - the Wallonia-Brussels Federation of the Goldsmithery Museum, in co-production with the Foundation Mons 2015, the park and gardens welcome the works of ten Belgian photographers. They expose their very personal view of the garden; black and white or color; in height or width; according to their sensitivity, their expression, the stories they want to share with you.
Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola called Parmigianino (Parma, January 11, 1503 - Casalmaggiore, August 24, 1540) - Madonna and Child with Saints Margaret, Jerome and Petronius (1529) - oil on panel 222 x 147 cm - Galleria Nazionale di Bologna
Dipinta all'epoca del soggiorno bolognese del Parmigianino, forse nel 1529, importa nell'ambiente tardo-raffaellesco locale un nuovo universo formale di sensibilità, eleganza, grazia.
Studiata e riprodotta dagli artisti della generazione manierista, è pienamente compresa nella sua novità soprattutto in ambito carraccesco
Painted at the time of Parmigianino's stay in Bologna, perhaps in 1529, it imports into the local late-Raphaelite environment a new formal universe of sensitivity, elegance, grace.
Studied and reproduced by the artists of the Mannerist generation, it is fully understood in its novelty, especially in the Carraccan environment.

for more informations:
The sensitivity of his characters who look at the viewer in a calm and silent way, has become the unique symbol of a silent and attentive generation that lives on dreams and expectations. These representations of his then arrive at the heart of the city that is populated in the walls on which his figures are colored, thus arriving at a collective identification.

.........I'm thinking that it should be wonderful to live in a city, town, village so full of colors... I think that each grey wall could be transformed into an awesome work of art...
This is Vallà di Riese (Veneto Region, Italy) experience....
woooooow.... I love this... the project is supported by Region Administrators ....
It is Vallà participatory urban regeneration project, born from an idea of the BocaVerta Collective to put art and beauty back at the center of our urban landscapes. The name combines the English word wall and the country where the initiative takes place in a play on words.
****************************************
COS’È THE WALLÀ. È il progetto di rigenerazione urbana partecipata di Vallà, nato da un’idea del Collettivo BocaVerta per rimettere al centro dei nostri paesaggi urbani l’arte e la bellezza. Il nome unisce in un gioco di parole il termine inglese wall (muro) e il paese in cui ha luogo l’iniziativa.
In concreto, The Wallà si propone di trasformare i muri di edifici pubblici e privati in “tele” per un museo permanente a cielo aperto, composto da opere di street art che rappresenteranno un potente mezzo per sensibilizzare, raccontare, accogliere, riqualificare. A oggi sono più di 10 gli edifici individuati per gli interventi artistici, ma l’iniziativa è in continua espansione.
“Questo progetto”, spiega il Collettivo BocaVerta, “nasce dalla percezione condivisa di degrado lungo l’arteria che attraversa da nord a sud il nostro paese, quella Strada provinciale 667 che è croce e delizia del paese stesso, veicolo di sviluppo, ma anche di traffico e inquinamento. Ripartire dalla bellezza, per noi, significa riprendere possesso dei luoghi che ci sono familiari e coinvolgere attivamente i cittadini nella ricerca di un vivere comune che sia rispettoso di sé e degli altri”.

A moment or two later this bull had stopped and was looking back at me. Was nice to get the eye contact.
In yesterday's post I was lucky to get decent detail with such a low shutter speed, but I had shot quickly in order to get some kind of shot. Here I have raised the iso to 3200, which has introduced noise. The 6D is full frame but old enough that it is fairly noisy at that high of sensitivity, but I would rather have a reasonably sharp noisy image than blurred image. I have given a bit of noise reduction in Topaz DeNoise.

"I seem to grow more acutely conscious of the swift passage of time as I grow older. When I was small, days and hours were long and spacious, and there was play and acres of leisure, and many children's books to read. I remember that as I was writing a poem on 'Snow' when I was eight. I said aloud, 'I wish I could have the ability to write down the feelings I have now while I'm still little, because when I grow up I will know how to write, but I will have forgotten what being little feels like.' And so it is that childlike sensitivity to new experiences and sensations seems to diminish in an inverse proportion to growth of technical ability. As we become polished, so do we become hardened and guilty of accepting eating, sleeping, seeing, and hearing too easily and lazily, without question. We become blunt and callous and blissfully passive as each day adds another drop to the stagnant well of our years."

At just under 7000 meters Mount Gya is not the highest peak in India, or even Ladakh for that matter, but her sheer remoteness has left her relatively untouched by mountaineering expeditions. Located on the crossroads of Ladakh, Spiti and Tibet, she is till date, unconquered. Mountaineering expeditions in the past climbed the lower sister-peak adjoining Gya, Gya III, thinking it was the main peak (unfortunately it was 150m lower) and subsequently no further expeditions were attempted. Gya is located south of the southern tip of Tso Moriri and only one real route through India exists, with the other route via Tibet closed to expeditions due to the sensitivity of the Chinese border posts. Gya is on the officially recognized Indo-Tibet-China border but Chinese troops have recently been seen exploring a terrain on Indian territory and marking "China" on rocks with red paint close to Chumer, the nearest town.

I cant say enough about how much I love the light sensitivity of the 6D. This is an HDR within Crystal Cave. No tripods are allowed, so this is taken with a pocket pod that the staff in the cave did not seem to catch or care about. You are then limited to having something to balance it on, but I was pleased with this image.

This object when described is often referred to as having a resemblance to a Bogeyman, and I have to agree! Looking like some kind of dark ominous shadow creature, standing poised in the night’s sky, with an arm raised ready to cast a hot fiery orb. But, LDN1622 is in fact not such dramatic object, being mostly an enormous lane of obscuring dust a front of a faint emission nebula that seems to form part of the massive Barnard’s Loop in the constellation of Orion. The fiery orb object is a reflection nebula, categorised as van den Bergh 62 [VDB62].

Then, for about 15 minutes, nature picks its palette and a brush and starts coloring the clouds. The warm light and colors add up and eventually a wonderful piece of art is on display for just a few brief seconds. Than the painter fills a bucket with the lake water and splashes it over the sky. Colors gone, light gone, time to go to sleep ... #etbtsy

... Others might argue that even that is really just a prelude to what the upcoming night has to offer whether with a sky full of stars, planets or the moon. Night photography is increasingly accessible as the sensitivity of the digital sensors climbs higher while the resulting noise is more and more controlled ....
If you’re like me, confronting some of nature’s harsher realities comes with a mixture of emotions. I am readily astonished by the sheer power and statuesque beauty of a lioness in her prime, confident and dauntless, yet not brazen or uncalculating. The doleful appearance of the young warthog, innocent and undeserving of such a brutal fate, hangs lifeless from clutches of the lion’s jaw. Understandably, the anguish it portends turns away many a gaze. I cannot offer sage words to make these events more palatable, for trite aphorisms offer but a fleeting remedy, at best. It is, after all, our humanity that causes this dysphoria, this disequilibrium of senses. To deny it is to deny our own humanness. So, gaze if you will and take heed that the more uneasy you feel, the more human you are. The world would be a better place if we could apply that same sensitivity to everything and everyone around us. #Lion
Curiosity is one of the photographers best friends (even for us amateurs)
This beautiful Barn owl can hear the tiny sounds of a Field Vole and its eyesight has twice the light sensitivity of a human eye
So don't be fooled., he knows you're there!
No chance of a nice close photograph then?
Well that's where our good friend curiosity comes in., because just occasionally they (and other bird's and wildlife) just have to come and take a closer look
And magically we have our photo-opportunity!
It is quite comfortable to look at a blue landscape in the evening, when the eyes are tired. Less light in the twilight, and blue easy tones.
Our eye's cones [for color perception] can be divided into "red" cones (64%), "green" cones (32%), and "blue" cones (2%). Despite being a minority, the "blue" cones have the highest sensitivity. Maybe it has something to do with the pleasantness of twilight - I don't know...

It seems that often my subjects are not readily visible. Be they existing in another spectrum such as infrared, or being out of time with myself, such as the motion of a subject over minutes rather than frozen in a fraction of a second, or be they subjects that don't reflect light at all. Sometimes these elements cannot be directly seen by the eyes, regardless of spectral sensitivity or time. Take for example, the wind. In order to photograph the wind you have to actually photograph the things it acts upon, and through those ripples and reverberations you can see the wind, in a way. And this feels appropriate for the wind, which itself is really the ripple effect in a change of air pressure somewhere else. What you experience is the rushing molecules of air being triggered by events even further beyond our senses. And it takes some mental stretching to even begin to wrap your mind around this and to realize that often photography doesn't begin with what you can see. Perhaps it begins with that tickle of sensation across your skin, which turns to imagination, which begets vision of a sorts, which itself then can become a photograph.

I travelled to Finland for a week in mid-July when the sunlight was filling the first weeks of summer in those extreme northern latitudes. Together with a friend of mine we left early in the morning by car from Genoa to Milan, from Milan Malpensa Airport to Helsinki-Vantaa, and from there later in the evening we took another flight on board a twin-engine propeller plane to Kajaani Airport. The sun still dominated over the horizon despite one hour to midnight. The sharp reflections of light beneath the clouds were something wonderful, dyeing the countless surfaces of lakes below us like a golden foil. When I stepped off the plane the first thing that struck me was the freshness of the air that enveloped us like a cloak, escaping from one of the hottest and sultry Italian summers of the New Millennium. Shortly after they came to pick us up by jeep and moving towards the North-East for more than 200 kilometers to the destination, very close to the Finnish-Russian border (part of the historical Region of Karelia, currently Kainuu). We skirted lakes and evergreen forests on asphalt and dirt roads through this region named Karelia. The light began to go down the horizon while my desire for adventure increased more and more.
The base was a small house near Martinselkonen Nature Reserve, a sort of B&B but much more hospitable and welcoming. They were 5 days of total dedication to the nature and the sleep-wake cycle was completely inverted; during the hours of the late afternoon, through the night and until the early morning we remained inside the huts, trying to capture the countless moments offered by that kind of totally wild nature, adult bears, cubs, birds of prey, all of this between swamp, forest and lake. We had lunch in the early afternoon and during the night we rested when the sun was high in the sky. The most charming place to photograph was undoubtedly the lake shore, almost a km from the Russian border; to rest inside the hut after hundreds and hundreds of photos taken during the sun down contained the perfection of that day spent with one of my best friends, while outside an almost-midnight sun was about to give way to the shadows of the shortest night I've ever seen so far.

The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive.
To him... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death.
Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create -- so that
without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating.

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. I see a lot of sensitivity and pain in these eyes, a window to the soul. I just hope that the image is as empathetic to my subject as I would have hoped. Enjoy.
1. I am thankful for being able to talk with my favourite younger sister twice this past week as it was her birthday and I also had birthday related questions.
2. I am thankful for this video. I found it reading this article here. (NSFW?)
3. I am thankful for finishing the large “cornmunication [sic] Scotopic Sensitivity piece on Monday (cleaned-up Tuesday).
4. I am thankful that the photos for a new project turned out really great for their purpose! I like proving to myself that when you (I) really care about the subject, the percentage of photos that turn out significantly better is significantly increased! :) I am thankful to have people that have inquired at just the right time using just the right words to help me further clarify and move this project forward. I am thankful for notifying some people that I am working on an important project because all of them in their own way are helping me along. One person asked about it which helped me be more clear with my intention and end goals. Many other folks are just standing back to let me do the work AND equally important they gently reminded me to get back to my work when I was talking and not working! :)
5. I am thankful and excited that I have found another way to give my artwork life. I had been nagging (serious nagging!) myself about needing/having to sell the original artwork about a year now but I believe I have found another way to give it life and give me the opportunity to spend quality time with it while I work at letting it have a better home than the big folders hiding at various places around here.
6. I am thankful for an interesting and disturbingly informative article about facebook’s NOprivacy policy, click here to read it. It is making me re-evaluate my fb interactions! This may also explain the crapload of SPAM I began receiving to my email account that is connected with fb.
7. I am thankful for setting a written goal of practising celebrating so that I can learn how!
8. I am thankful for seeing more people write, “you are loved” in various places on the Internet. This is exciting because more people will be reminded and know and it is evidence of more people like me. Examples here, here and here.
9. I am thankful for making a list of steps to complete my nephew’s birthday present on time because now I can see many little steps I can do throughout my day and I even started it. I even took some photos and did some writing about it. I have found that I need to make better notes on what specific colour of pigment and paper I use just in case I need to go back into it to make it look more complete.*
10. I am thankful for Gavin de Becker’s The Gift of Fear because it makes me more aware of my surroundings and notice something surprising that happened while I was in Saskatoon a bit ago. I also found an article on de Becker’s site, you can read about media tactics here.
11. I am thankful for deciding that I am okay with feeling socially awkward simply because I suspect I am not the only one that has ever felt that way. Thankfully I don’t usually recognise how awkward things were until after the fact. It also occurs to me that when I don’t either notice or recognise people and thus don’t acknowledge them right away or at all .. well it takes two to communicate.
12. I am thankful for getting clear on my intention with my photography and taking a few hundred photos over the passed week. I am thankful that my theory of: when you care about your subject the photos will demonstrate that. For instance, when you see a leaf when you are out and about you may not make much notice of it but when you look at these photos you can just tell the person making the photos cares about nature and this plant.
13. Thank you for reading. Enjoy your week and laugh lots .. unless you had other plans!? ;-)

"Women 4 Women": a choral exhibition of digital art which has been realized thanks to creative contributions by artist women who illustrate, each one following her own peculiar sensitivity and imagination, themes and messages that underlie the "International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women".
Jumping spiders have very good vision centered in their anterior median eyes (AME). Their eyes are able to create a focused image on the retina, which has up to four layers of receptor cells in it. Physiological experiments have shown that they may have up to four different kinds of receptor cells, with different absorption spectra, giving them the possibility of up to tetrachromatic color vision, with sensitivity extending into the ultra-violet range. It seems that all salticids, regardless of whether they have two, three or four kinds of color receptors, are highly sensitive to UV light. Some species (for example, Cosmophasis umbratica) are highly dimorphic in the UV spectrum, suggesting a role in sexual signaling. Color discrimination has been demonstrated in behavioral experiments.
The principal eyes have high resolution (11 min. visual angle), but the field of vision is narrow, from 2-5 degrees.
Because the retina is the darkest part of the eye and it moves around, one can sometimes look into the eye of a jumping spider and see it changing color. When it is darkest, you are looking into its retina and the spider is looking straight at you.

Genova, Liguria. It was a rainy day, the first summer rain after a long time. The weather was improving and I decided to go down to the beach to take some photos, to breathe fresh air. In that night there was quite a lot of cloud cover the sky but it made for subtle yet dramatic evening light from Blue Moon. So I set a good exposure time to give the desired effect; I thought that 8 seconds of exposure and f/7.1 were a great compromise solution, using low ISO around 200.
The final result could already be able to appreciate without zoom, the high and strong contrast between the white foam and the dark color of the rocks and the sea was exalted already, just long exposure was completed. So I waited until quite late and used this long exposure time to give the dreamy feel to the moving sea water. It was so magic.

"È vegetariana o vegana solo una percentuale bassa della popolazione italiana (circa l’8%), ma l’ultimo rapporto dell’IPCC (Intergovernamental Panel on Climate Change) è molto chiaro nel sollecitare la popolazione mondiale “a favore di diete che implicano un minor uso di risorse.” Secondo il rapporto, un deciso cambiamento delle nostre diete in senso vegetariano potrebbe liberare milioni di chilometri quadrati dallo sfruttamento intensivo, riducendo le emissioni di CO2 fino a sei miliardi di tonnellate l’anno rispetto ai livelli attuali.
Ma chi sceglie di diventare vegetariano o vegano non lo fa per un astratto amore verso l’ambiente o per il futuro dell’umanità, quanto piuttosto per la raggiunta consapevolezza della simile sensibilità delle altre specie con la nostra, e del pari diritto alla vita. E’ del 1975 il saggio del filosofo Peter Singer “Liberazione animale”, un testo fondamentale dell’animalismo e dell’anti-specismo.
Ho fotografato alcuni miei amici vegetariani o vegani."
"Only a low percentage of the Italian population is vegetarian or vegan (about 8%), but the latest report by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) is very clear in urging the world population" in favor of diets that involve less use of resources. " According to the report, a decisive change in our diets in the vegetarian sense could free millions of square kilometers from intensive exploitation, reducing CO2 emissions by up to six billion tons per year compared to current levels.
But those who choose to become vegetarian or vegan do not do so for an abstract love for the environment or for the future of humanity, but rather for the awareness of the similar sensitivity of the other species to ours, and of the equal right to life. 1975 was the essay by the philosopher Peter Singer "Animal Liberation", a fundamental text of animalism and anti-speciesism.
I photographed some of my vegetarian or vegan friends. "
This is a gallery view of a show I did at Rensselaer Polytechnic in NY.
Climate Control is a series of climate-interactive electronic installations and eco-visualizations intended to address the personal detachment felt towards global climate change. As the Earth's resources increasingly succumb to the human grasp, these works question whether the next step is the construction of a human-desirable climate. Through perception and interaction the goal of this work is to enhance sensitivity of the issues involved, inspire critical thought about solutions and to recognize the beauty inherent in the real-time climate occurring outside the gallery walls.
No selective colour for this shot ie the grey bridge is solely due to the crazy rainfall at the time!
Using a Miops trigger for the first time for lightning shots was interesting... 85% sensitivity picked up a lot of shot but almost all the bolts were hidden in clouds. Only 5 shots with visible strikes over a couple of hours. A number of storm cells came in with strong winds giving nearly horizontal torrential rain, I discovered that my hiking pants were not waterproof and my boot started filling up with water even with a big umbrella.
Now what’s behind those big sunglasses?
A hang over?
A black eye?
Sensitivity to light?
or just fashion?
Royal Cornwall show 2025.
Captured from the backyard of my new home in Colorado, a preliminary test using the new QHY163M Mono COLDMOS camera.Comprising of 8 x 120 second exposures in each channel LRGB, I used a Gain of 10 and Offset 57. I am very impressed with the high sensitivity of the 4/3 inch CMOS sensor and the level of detail I obtained with only 2 minute exposures, I'm hoping to capture some longer and deeper exposures of this subject in the coming week.
At the moment I'm using a portable pier and looking forward to being able to image from the new observatory when it's completed hopefully in a few weeks, you can follow progress here: www.grandmesaobservatory.com
