Ralph Waldo Emerson. The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca: On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!
John Muir: All the wild world is beautiful, and it matters but little where we go, to highlands or lowlands, woods or plains, on the sea or land or down among the crystals of waves or high in a balloon in the sky; through all the climates, hot or cold, storms and calms, everywhere and always we are in God's eternal beauty and love. So universally true is this, the spot where we chance to be always seems the best.

This TV works perfectly fine. It isnt anything special, but for only $25, its a great way to watch TV for almost nothing.
le "bloc tombant de Sharp a été clairement du côté de L'union pendant la guerre de secession avec les Sharpshooters du colonel Berdan(regt de tireurs d'elites de l'union équipés en Sharp en partie qui pourtant était plutôt une arme de Cavalier - fait d'arme le plus connu Gettysburg) . Hélas, c'est aussi le tueur de Bison (buffalo killing) par exellence et donc de la guerre indirecte ou economique faite aux amerindiens (en tuant les bisons on tuait "volontairement" et parqué aussi ces derniers).

I came upon this 'Sharpie' who had just caught a Junco and was enjoying his meal. I was already very close when I first saw him, so I moved very slowly to find an open spot to shoot through. He seemed aware of my presence, but didn't feel threatened enough to leave. In fact, I watched for several minutes then slowly backed off. He never flew...
A toy? Not really, this lens can really deliver amazingly sharp results!
--- Lessons learned:
+ best way to get the grips is to use the lens with the cam (in liveview) tethered to a tv set via DVI
+ the lens should not be used on maximum tilt -- you cannot get sharp results with this adjustment
+ the two lenses in the Lensbaby are not coated, backlight will lead to overlit blurry results ...
+ This is a 50 mm lens, minimum object distance is approx 0,6 meters ...
+ shots were take with the 4.0 aperture, ... 5.6 has a wider sweet spot, but less wow effect
+ works fine in Av-Mode
--- This is how focusing works:
Point the optical axis of the lens **exactly** towards the spot you want to focus; adjust focus ring - if possible in zoomed liveview mode.
--- This is how it not works:
Leave the lens as-is (no tilting); try to focus on an object in the corner of the image via turning the focusing wheel.
--- One problem I came across:
The 5DMkII works fine with this lens in Av mode, even better with additional liveview, but does *not* adjust exposure in *zoomed* liveview! => Firstly wait for exposure adjustment, then zoom in, adjust focus, if possible, zoom out again, shoot. :-)

This was the alternate photo for today. It actually was today's photo for about an hour or so but then I changed my mind and chose this photo instead. There are things I like and don't like about both photos and probably should have done a retake after the fact but didn't feel like getting everything out again. I like the perspective and the fact that you see both points in this shot but I think it's a little too bright. I thought the other one was too dark but I like that it has a closer crop and leaves more to the imagination. I like to keep reminding myself during this that what you don't see is often more powerful than what you do.

was so surprised to look out my window and see this guy sitting in my tree !
never saw one of these before !
A tiny hawk that appears in a blur of motion—and often disappears in a flurry of feathers. That’s the Sharp-shinned Hawk, the smallest hawk in North America and a daring, acrobatic flier. These raptors have distinctive proportions: long legs, short wings, and very long tails, which they use for navigating their deep-woods homes at top speed in pursuit of songbirds and mice. They’re easiest to spot in fall on their southward migration, or occasionally at winter feeders.

Sharp Edge - Blencathra.
The view from the outlet of Scales Tarn, the impressive serrated outline of Sharp Edge is viewed.
On closer inspection, five climbers can be seen traversing the ridge.
The photograph was taken during a fellwalk in the Summer of 1996, using a Ricoh KR10-M SLR, using Fuji 200ASA print film, post processed using Adobe Photoshop.
Oops, I cropped this a bit too much when I was trying to get the feather details as close as possible, so the image isn't as sharp as it should be. My small group of three saw 77 of these Sharp-tailed Grouse during our day of birding for the Nanton Christmas Bird Count on 30 December 2012.. Sometimes, we saw just a single bird, other times quite a few perched in a tree. I think there were 17 in one of the trees. I only see this species when I'm on this Count.

Weekdays come and go. My last work week consisted of exactly one day - Friday. Wouldn't it be nice if Friday was the only work day? You could go to work in the morning knowing that when you clock in you are beginning your week and when you clock out, it's the weekend again. Pay might be a problem, however. I'm working on a plan to live without money. If I get it worked out, I'll let you know.
And following my one-day work week came Glorious Dive Day! I had nobody going out on Faded Glory this week, so I skipped all of that boat loading and unloading and just went out with Richard Jones on Sanguma. I have to admit, I really like getting picked up at my front door. It's quite a treat compared to my usual Saturday routine.
The dive was quite nice. The Eel Garden was putting on a fine show. I got some very nice underwater shots. However, as it sometimes happens, my favourite shot of the day has nothing to do with fish. Ush is one of my favourite photographic subjects, at least when she is not too shy. I kept seeing wonderful reflections in her cheeky red sunglasses. A little coaxing Got her into the mood to pose for me:
When I first saw the result on my computer screen I was not overjoyed. Though Ush gave me just what I wanted, my exposure skills were not up to snuff. It took me the better part of an hour to massage the image into what my original vision demanded. I wanted the sharpness of the sunglasses and the reflections, but I needed Ush's skin to be as soft and smooth as a baby's bottom. Well, it pretty much is in reality, but cameras are harsh to skin, as we all know. I'm happy with the finished product. It's the most fun I've gotten from a single image for quite a while.
Now this one . . . this one is a mistake. It was so bad that I nearly deleted it. However, I sometimes like to play the photographic savior and redeem otherwise worthless frames:
The Soldierfish was swimming away, it was too distant, and the light was all wrong. On top of that, I had my flash turned on, which threw off the colour balance. I know! I'll call it "Art'.
Richard Jones came over to me with a rock and seemed quite excited about it. It took me a moment to realise that on that rock was a nudibranch which I had never seen before. Of course, I took its picture. It's a Phyllidia ocellata:
I have to say that it is probably the most humorously patterned nudibranch which I have seen. Some nudis are ethereal in their beauty. This one is wearing a clown suit.
I should know the name of this Planaria, more commonly called a flatworm. I got this shot standing on my head, because it was under a ledge. I've turned it right-side-up for you:
It's Sunday afternoon, and I'm not going to look it up. Somebody out there help me. It's very common here.
I'll finish up with a couple of "Deep Focus" reef scenes. As several readers have pointed out, there is nothing special about these high depth of field shots. It's just a matter of setting your camera right and having favourable shooting conditions:
However, I have noted that few underwater photographers actually do it. It seems as if nearly everybody either shoots macro shots of little things or big, gaudy scenes shot with super-wide angle lenses and multiple flashes.
I don't see many shots such as these which use a cheap camera and a normal lens stopped down to achieve maximum depth of field:
I find them pleasing, because when I seen them I can honestly say, "That's just the way it looked to me."
Someday, that is going to come in very handy for me.
“Clean shirt, new shoes
And I don't know where I am goin' to…”

May you all have a spooky, scary, spine tingling, but safe and fun All Hallow’s Eve or Halloween.
As you are having fun, remember this, yes, it is a night for fun and games, but it is, also, in reality, the one night of all the year when the portal between the two worlds opens and spirits, those once in body as we are, and others, evil spirits and entities, can pass through that portal or veil and enter this side...our side.
And, many times, depending upon with whom they interact and the actions of those still in body, some of these spirits and evil entities do not return through that portal back to the other side at night’s end.
So, laugh and have fun, but, do be very very careful. For, as you know, for every action there is a consequence.
