one spider, 3 shots, melded together to show this busy little creature. It was an orchid hunt, but I did well with bugs and butterflies too
Vivid Sydney lights up the harbour bridge and the Sebel Pier One. The colours are constantly shifting, but managed to catch them both purple at the same time.
Taking a break from the books, I took a walk down to the farmers crossing a few hundred feet behind my home - a place where I spent a lot of time watching trains throughout grade school, but not so much in recent years. To my surprise, CP 647 crested the grade with a handsome pair of Union Pacific 5400s. While not totally uncommon, matched sets of foreign power are always a nice treat to shoot - especially when its a two minute walk from home!
For the foamers trackside, this train cleared Mile 69 at 1330. Now, back to studying...
Sleep Study, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, April 27, 2023
Sleep Study was not as restful as I had hoped it would be. Just before I attempted to go to sleep, I took this picture from the window.

A Sunrise Study, in le Cinque Terre (Italy) with the Leica S (Typ 007) and the 35mm Summarit-S f/2.5.
Three surfaces - dark, mid and pale - under the same beam.
The dark surface swallows the light, the mid-toned keeps it in balance and the pale one returns it almost entirely, making it clear that the journey of light is shaped by the shades it meets.

The details in nature can be an interesting study, and slow water especially intrigues me. It takes on almost an abstract quality to it and gives a sense of movement. This scene was shot at only a 1/3 of a second, which shows just how fast moving the water is at Rearguard Falls.

So I want to create a student bedroom for my daughter's mini-me - Majesty Giselle! After passing her A Levels (what do you mean? Of course she will pass! And with top grades too! LOL!) Gigi/Sophie will be going off to college (she hasn't decided where yet). When I was in my final year, I had two rooms - a very small bedroom and a very small study. Everyone else had big study/bedrooms. I just loved having a separate study as I could separate my study and relaxation spaces and I would go off 'to work' at a certain time each day.... Anyhow enough about me, Gigi/Sophie will be getting a study/bedroom. What do you think about this as inspiration? Like my study it has cool sloping ceilings that students tend to love (well I did) but is it too ambitious? I have sourced some pretty good windows already and I have plenty of foam core. It is pretty tidy and stylish for a Student room but I think my Gigi /Sophie is that kind of girl...
Note: my daughter (Sophia) is only 12 still so I am totally projecting here! LOL!
You probably thought what I did: If I post to an award group that requires 3 awards, then I should expect 3 awards, on average. Obviously, any given photo will get more or less, but you figure on average you should get as much as you give, right? WRONG!!
I’ve done a systematic study of how many awards the different award groups give out, and the bottom line is this: The half of Flickrites who do actually give out rewards get nothing in return from the other half of the Flickrites who post and run.
If you’re posting and running, shame on you. If you’re posting and being honest, then you should check out the list below to see which award groups are best and worst.
Details of the study are below; I welcome any data that the group admins wish to share, or from anyone would like to validate these findings. I realize my sample is small and would like to get more data...
-----------
Purpose: Do you get as many rewards as you give in Flickr award groups?
Method: Sample 20 Flickr award groups. Go to page 24 and count the number of awards given to the first 12 pictures; this is deep enough in the pool that awards have stopped, but not so deep that many images have been pulled. I validated a sample of 12 was sufficient.
Result: From a total sample of 240 images posted to award groups, you get 59% of the awards you give out, or roughly you have to give two awards in order to get one. There is huge variation amongst the groups, as you’ll see in table below.
Discussion: At a practical level, it appears that there are two things that contribute to a higher percentage of reciprocity. First, group cohesion makes a difference—for example Shining Star has a relatively higher percentage because many of the members are contacts with each other. Second, a mechanical pool sweeper, if properly used, makes a HUGE difference, e.g. Global Village 2 and Flickr Hearts. The results also show that there are lots of Flickrites who don’t play by the rules. In the case of group awards, without a pool sweeper there is absolutely no penalty for posting and running because there’s no way to get caught.
Group averages… For example, A+++ has 70%, meaning that for every A+++ award you give, you get 0.7 back… Some of the averages are above 100% because of sampling error, and because of multiple invites.
