Thank you everyone for your visit, favorites and comments.
This time I tried to approach it in a different way. There are a lot of possibilities to photograph them. Till last year I did not get results I was satisfied with. I guess biggest challenge is they are such small that you have a usually to much by-catches on the ground in the surrounding.
Ich habe mich den Krokussen auf verschiedene Weisen genähert. Bis letztes Jahr ist mir nie ein zufriedenstellendes Foto gelungen. Ich glaube, die grösste Herausforderung liegt in ihrer Kleinheit und Bodennähe, so dass man zuviel Beiwerk miterwischt.
A quick study of palisades and landscape. it turned out pretty well in my opinion and the dk green looks better than green. I've had this idea for a while and im probably going to expand on it in the future. I've got a couple of small builds lined up for today and tomorrow as im going away for 4 weeks in three days time :P Hope you like my new sig fig, I was getting tired of my old one.
I'm using a new camera and still tryong to figure out the new settings, so thats why some parts are blurry amd stuff :P
Working on my #lighting studies this #spring - when, most often, all you have to is just "point and shoot" (?) 😎

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...
Im Dezember letzten Jahres habe ich mit der Serie "Phaeno Study" begonnen - und ich habe immer noch einiges davon auf der Platte. Heute gibt es einmal kein Langzeitbelichtungsfoto, sondern eine "normale Aufnahme". Ich hoffe, es gefällt trotzdem!
In honor of MLK today, a study on all the colors in my palette and the beauty each one presents. <3

Gjain, Iceland. A magical ravine in the highland desert. No wonder GoT filmed there. Our day was the brightest of bright blue skies which lit up the rocks in all their orange glory. Made quite a colourful scene, combined with the deep greens of the creek reeds. But the shadows drew me in.

A few miles downstream from Niagara Falls are these amazing class 6 whitewater rapids, see link for video.

Left side light (LED lamp). Raw file into Affinity Photo for development. There are multiple iterations of this with different lighting options, shadow play etc. But this is my current favourite. Enjoy!
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.
