I am in a thinking kind of mood today. Jonny has gone back to work so it's just me and Finlay pottering about and as much as I adore him (Jonny), I am enjoying the peace...

Hmm, what shall I do next...

Thinking forbidden..

Thinking about the week ahead, thinking about the good times I have had..just thinking....anything but start work xx

This is one of the many subway scenes I've shot with my iPhone.

I thought it was an interesting photo, and I gave it four stars in my Aperture rating system. But not five stars, so it never did get uploaded as a "public" Flickr photo.

One of my loyal Flickr friends "faved" the photo, so I've changed its status to "public."

**********************

Whether you’re an amateur or professional photographer, it’s hard to walk around with a modern smartphone in your pocket, and not be tempted to use the built-in camera from time-to-time. Veteran photographers typically sneer at such behavior, and most will tell you that they can instantly recognize an iPhone photo, which they mentally reject as being unworthy of any serious attention.

After using many earlier models of smartphones over the past several years, I was inclined to agree; after all, I always (well, almost always) had a “real”camera in my pocket (or backpack or camera-bag), and it was always capable of taking a much better photographic image than the mediocre, grainy images shot with a camera-phone.

But still … there were a few occasions when I desperately wanted to capture some photo-worthy event taking place right in front of me, and inevitably it turned out to be the times when I did not have the “real” camera with me. Or I did have it, but it was buried somewhere in a bag, and I knew that the “event” would have disappeared by the time I found the “real" camera and turned it on. By contrast, the smart-phone was always in my pocket (along with my keys and my wallet, it’s one of the three things I consciously grab every time I walk out the door). And I often found that I could turn it on, point it at the photographic scene, and take the picture much faster than I could do the same thing with a “traditional” camera.

Meanwhile, smartphone cameras have gotten substantially better in the past few years, from a mechanical/hardware perspective; and the software “intelligence” controlling the camera has become amazingly sophisticated. It’s still not on the same level as a “professional” DSLR camera, but for a large majority of the “average” photographic situations we’re likely to encounter in the unplanned moments of our lives, it’s more and more likely to be “good enough.” The old adage of “the best camera is the one you have with you” is more and more relevant these days. For me, 90% of the success in taking a good photo is simply being in the right place at the right time, being aware that the “photo opportunity” is there, and having a camera — any camera — to take advantage of that opportunity. Only 10% of the time does it matter which camera I’m using, or what technical features I’ve managed to use.

And now, with the recent advent of the iPhone5s, there is one more improvement — which, as far as I can tell, simply does not exist in any of the “professional” cameras. You can take an unlimited number of “burst-mode” shots with the new iPhone, simply by keeping your finger on the shutter button; instead of being limited to just six (as a few of the DSLR cameras currently offer), you can take 10, 20, or even a hundred shots. And then — almost magically — the iPhone will show you which one or two of the large burst of photos was optimally sharp and clear. With a couple of clicks, you can then delete everything else, and retain only the very best one or two from the entire burst.

With that in mind, I’ve begun using my iPhone5s for more and more “everyday” photo situations out on the street. Since I’m typically photographing ordinary, mundane events, even the one or two “optimal” shots that the camera-phone retains might not be worth showing anyone else … so there is still a lot of pruning and editing to be done, and I’m lucky if 10% of those “optimal” shots are good enough to justify uploading to Flickr and sharing with the rest of the world. Still, it’s an enormous benefit to know that my editing work can begin with photos that are more-or-less “technically” adequate, and that I don’t have to waste even a second reviewing dozens of technically-mediocre shots that are fuzzy, or blurred.

Oh, yeah, one other minor benefit of the iPhone5s (and presumably most other current brands of smartphone): it automatically geotags every photo and video, without any special effort on the photographer’s part. Only one of my other big, fat cameras (the Sony Alpha SLT A65) has that feature, and I’ve noticed that almost none of the “new” mirrorless cameras have got a built-in GPS thingy that will perform the geotagging...

I’ve had my iPhone5s for a couple of months now, but I’ve only been using the “burst-mode” photography feature aggressively for the past couple of weeks. As a result, the initial batch of photos that I’m uploading are all taken in the greater-NYC area. But as time goes on, and as my normal travel routine takes me to other parts of the world, I hope to add more and more “everyday” scenes in cities that I might not have the opportunity to photograph in a “serious” way.

Stay tuned….

The work week is finally over.. Deep breaths and Long sighs and no more thinking about that!

Once firmly settled into small town life and with the pleasures of the lake just a few steps from his back door, Joe was perfectly happy fishing or preparing to fish for the first year or so. ‘Fishing’ consisted in a small part of catching fish but primarily of thinking, and the nicer the weather, the more balance swung away from fishing and toward deep thought.

Thinking of home and all the beautiful sunsets through the trees. It's amazing that I, thanks to modern technology, have the ability to go to a completely different part of the world in a matter of days. And that I'll be living here until August!

South Carolina I'll see you soon and for now Utah is my home ❤️

Why am I thinking Matt Lucas in Little Britain…?

I needed to clear my head after a long day at the office and decided to head to a forest preserve for a walk. With having the threat of thunderstorms all day, the evening clouds began to break in the early evening hours. I happened to come across this grove with the sun setting behind an opening in the trees. Some times you just lucky with the timing!

Been thinking about you,

the way I cut your hair

Your eyes are on my wall,

your teeth are over there

But I'm still no one,

and you're my star

What do you care?

Been thinking about you,

and there's no rest

Should I still love you,

still see you in bed

When I'm playing with myself?

What do you care

when the other men are far, far better?

All the things you got,

all the things you need

I bought you cigarettes,

and pried the company

to come and see you,

honey

I've been thinking about you, so how can you sleep?

Those people aren't your friends, they're paid to kiss your feet

They don't know what I know.

Why should you care when I'm not there?

Been thinking about you, and there's no rest

Should I still love you, still see you in bed

When I'm playing with myself?

What do you care when I'm not there?

All the things you got

that you'll never need

all the things you got

I bled and

I bleed to please you

Been thinking

about you...

I caught cadeva when she was

"To be? or... not to be? Uhmm.... Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune... Or... or... Or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them? Uhmmm... To die... to sleep...

No more! and by a sleep to say we end the heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks! Mmm... That flesh is heir to... uh... 'tis a consummation devoutly to be wish'd.

Uhmm...To die, to sleep... mmm... To sleep. Uhm... Perchance to dream.

There's the rub!

For in that sleep of death... of death... what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil must give us pause...uhm... there's the respect that makes calamity of so long life;

Fooooor... who would bear the whips and scorns of time? uh? The oppressor's wrong!! The proud man's contumely, the pangs of despised love, the law's delay, the insolence of office and... and... And the spurns that patient merit of the unworthy takes! uh hu!

When he himself might his quietus make with a.. .uhm... bare bodkin? who would fardels bear, to grunt and sweat under a weary life... but that the dread of something after death.. mmm... the undiscover'd country from whose bourn no traveller returns puzzles the will aaaaaand... makes us rather bear those ills we have than fly to others that we know not of? Uhmmmm.....

Thus... conscience does make cowards of us all!!!!

And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, aaand.... aaand... enterprises of great pith and moment with this regard their currents turn awry, and lose the name of action!!!. Yes!

Soft you now, Cadeva! Soft-you-now!... He's taking you a picture!"

She was reaaaaallly deep thinking!

First of all ;

Happy Friday to all (h5) ,,

جـمـعـه مـبـآركـه على الـجمـيـع (h5) ,,

Second of all ;

i'm thinking to leave flickr & i would like to say to all ppl i'm SORRY if u see any thing bad from me OR i made u upset from me ,,

أنني أفكر في مغادرة فلكر وأود أن أقول للجميع أنا آسفه إذا رأيتم مني أي سوء أو جعلتكم تحزنون مني ,,

the reason is ...

i don't know, but i didn't take any good experience from FLICKR cuz every one said your photo is NICE ,,

i really don't think so, there must be a small mistake in the photo, but unfortunately no one say it ,,

لا أعرف السبب ولكنني لم أتخذ أية خبرة جيدة من فلكر وذلك بسبب مجاملة بعض الاعضاء وقولهم أن صورتك جميلة ,,

في الحقيقة أنا لا أعتقد ذلك ، لانة لابد من أن يكون هناك خطأ صغير على الاقل في الصورة ، ولكن للأسف لا احد يقول ذلك ,,

i WONT ...

delete it, but i will be un-active ,,

إنني لن أمسحة ولكنني لن أكون نشيطة ونادرا ما سأدخله وأضع صور ,,

* any one comment in the photo add your self plz *

* أي شخص يضع تعليق أضف نفسك *

(i am amazed that this photo turned out because when i got out of the car my glasses fogged up. i couldn't see a thing. i tried to clean them but they kept on fogging up.. it happens here when we go from air conditioning to high humidity. i took this on manual focus and thankfully it turned out.. because I could not see!)
