"Non ci sono due istanti uguali, il mondo fluisce di continuo, muta, cambia forma, ma tu sei troppo distratta per accorgertene. Il rumore del vento, come un canto, ora lento, ora violento. Un tuono in lontananza. I passi metallici degli insetti sulla terra. Le schegge di cristallo nero che rotolano lontano. Impara ad ascoltare!"
While I was at the skate park in Sedona I shot 4 of these (2 of me and 2 of my friend) and this is the only one I've worked on so far. It took over 4 hours, mostly because they're all so close together and because I had to leave the shadows in. The selections were a pain, but the resulting image was so worth the effort.

This is what a 30 mile per hour train appears in 30 second long exposure at the railroad crossing section. I would say it was not an easy experiment. I had to test shot this scene for 5 times. The amount of variable light caused by car’s headlights was the challenging part. To equally balance the exposure time to the sequence time (timed at approximately 22 second for crossing gate closure, traffic stop and train pass), I used an ND filter, and added 8 seconds of safety factor to exposure time for the possible increase to amount of light to actual recorded sequence. If you like to try this, do it at late night with less traffic. The set exposure time will be out of whack each time a car comes to a stop in front of you.
I was fortunate to capture the Olive-backed Oriole sequence of flight the other day when I went for a river walk. This was my first sighting of this bird and I captured it on different trees in different mannerisms. Lucky me.
This was the sequence of the total solar eclipse yesterday just near the point of totalilty. I was there with 3 other people and we enjoyed it together - it was awesome! There were also two young couples who drove all the way from New Hampshire and they stationed themselves close by us. All of us chatted and had a good time during the eclipse. There were a few small clouds that wandered through, but were gone by the time the eclipse reached totality.
Taken on August 21st, 2017, with my Sony Alpha SLT-a77v DSLR. For the lens, I used a Minolta 2X adapter and an old Minolta MD-Mount Super Paragon PMC II Auto Tele Zoom 80-200mm lens. It turned out to be the equivalent of a 1200mm focal length. When I finish the roll of film I shot concurrently and develop it, I'll bet they turn out even better.
This sequence was captured with the Time Machine and Drip Kit. Each frame was taken with .001 seconds more delay than the previous one using the "auto increment" function in the Time Machine. There were a total of 232 pictures taken of 232 different drops one after another, then merged into this movie.
On Flickr it seems to play rough and jumpy. The QuickTime original is much more smooth.

Two and a half weeks ago, my brother, sister, and I took a short sibling vacation to Iceland. I am now uploading pictures from that trip.
Our first day we did the classic Golden Circle route: Þingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss before driving to Vik on the south coast for the evening. This, of course, is the middle stop, Geysir, although the actual geyser is called Strokkur (the bigger Geysir geyser has stopped erupting).
I struggled with how best to photograph and capture the power of the Strokkur geyser. It took a lot of patience to get a good sequence of shots like this, but with the gray, cloudy skies the images looked a bit flat out of the camera. I decided to go for a bit more extreme black and white look than I might typically use, and combine all my shots into a single image, to give the photograph enough visual oomph to match the actual experience of watching this jet of water shoot up into the sky.
This is one shot in a sequence I took on burst mode of a woman towing a pilot case. The rest of the sequence is scattered about a little further into my photostream.

Spirals
For how long have people depicted spiral designs in their art and architecture, and why does the image have such a provocative effect?
From magnetic fields to vast galaxies swirling in space, spirals can be seen in every aspect in nature. We see them in the physical forces which shape the Earth - the tides of the ocean, the winds in the atmosphere - and within life itself. Plants and the horns and shells of animals grow in spiral formations and some animals, especially aquatic species, possess a twisting locomotion.
The spiral phenomenon within natural forms can be explained through mathematics - the pattern is a result of complex sequences, equations and algorithms which nature utilises in her designs of the Universe. But mathematics alone cannot justify the lure of the spiral to the human mind.
Some of the oldest examples of human art are depictions of spirals, painted or carved into rock, often found in burial sites. Later, the Romans and Greeks used spirals as designs for vases and the columns in temples. The Celtic and Norse people were well known for the mysterious and repetitive designs found on their jewellery, clothing, weapons, objects of worship and everyday items. The Celts even painted spirals on their bodies with blue dye to intimidate enemies during battle. They also created forms of animals and plants twisting into impossible spirals, sometimes interlocking with other elements of the picture.
The spiral has left no human culture untouched. It is an important feature in some Australian Aboriginal works, where it is often drawn as a coiled snake. The Islamic tradition prohibits depictions of people or animals, so spirals feature as an important element in the mathematically-governed Islamic designs. Spirals also feature in oriental and Indian clothing and pottery.
Today, the spiral still runs deep within our culture. It forms the logos of a large number of companies, and has come to symbolise magic, dreams, desires and, most importantly, eternity.
It is perhaps this never-ending quality of the spiral which intrigues and draws us so greatly. When a spiral is drawn or made using paper and then turned, it creates the illusion that it is twisting forever away or towards us. The repetitive animation of a twisting spiral also evokes deep relaxation and calm, which accounts for the spiral's close association with the art of hypnotism. In some cases, people even create spirals themselves in order to ease the constantly active mind. If a person is left to "doodle" on a piece of paper in a relaxed state, it is very likely that they will draw spirals and swirls as their subconscious mind controls the pen.
As a representative of the eternal forces of nature, or simply as an attractive and interesting pattern, spirals shall always remain within the cultures of man. For as long as they surround us in every aspect of nature, the spiral will imprint itself within our unconscious psyche, and shall be reflected in our arts for all time.

A very chilly early morning view of the dam at Sequoyah Lake near Highlands, NC. It was a frigid 18 degrees when I took this. Yikes!

Ok now this was much easier than I originally anticipated. Had the camera on the tripod and put it in continuas shooting mode. The focus was set to manual so there was no focus acquiring delay between the shots. Opened the first two images in Photoshop. Selected the second image (cntr+c or command+c in mac) and pasted it on top of the first one. Then went to the layers menu and selected "hide all". After that I used the brush tool to reveal the second image and the first one stayed the way it was. Repeated this step for the rest of the 7 images.
