This weeks challenge was 'sharp' and so I challenged myself to a sharp image in a panning shot.
This is a friend on a track day at Castle Combe.
This picture was taken at Marat Guelman's gallery during the opening of an exhibition about life in russian prisons. Recently released Pussy Riot members Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alekhina were there among others.

Minnie likes to sleep on the coatrack. It doesn´t look comfy, does it? I don´t like her to nibble at the red coatrack edges - unfortunatelly she tries it often;-( Therefor I put the coatrack from the hall into the dining room: Here I´m often sitting and I can watch her better...;-) Of course, it isn´t so useful for the coats...;-(
Sieht das etwa bequem aus?? Minnie liegt so gerne zum Schlafen oben im Garderobenständer. Leider versucht sie oft, die roten Holzecken anzunagen;-( Deshalb habe ich den Garderobenständer auch ins Esszimmer gestellt, wo ich sie besser im Blick habe;-) Für die Garderobe ist es natürlich nicht so praktisch...;-(
This volume is primarily remarkable for its excellently preserved early (but not original) binding, as well as the peculiar style of its miniatures. The manuscript opens with an unusual, icon-like prefatory image of the Virgin and Child, possibly added at an early stage for use in private devotion, and is followed by Evangelist portraits facing ornate headpieces. These illuminations are important examples of non-Constantinopolitan Byzantine art.

This is the little camera I've taken all of my 365 Project 2011 shots with so far. It's a Kodak M575 point and shoot. It has 14 MP's, 5x optical zoom with in the lens image stabilization, 720p HD video, face recognition and a 3-inch LCD screen. This is a mirror shot I flipped at Convert Hub. So far I am pleased with this camera though there is no comparing it to even my old Kodak Z612 with 6 MP's. These little cameras make up for the pencil eraser sized lens opening with high MP's. The flash is also, in my opinion, overpowering at times. It is very difficult to get any bokeh even in the so-called macro mode. High speed photography, such as capturing water drops, is next to impossible. However this camera wasn't designed for any of those things, but the limited things it can do it does well. It is small and easy to carry around so that you can take those quick shots or videos of friends and family or whatever and get great results. I have a pouch that it resides in on my belt. Very handy. Costing right at $100 it is a great deal. All in all if you are looking for a point and shoot or an SLR-type camera check out Kodak. We own 3 and are pleased with them.

Una delle rock-metal band più chiacchierate degli ultimi anni arriva in Italia per un'unica data che si terrà al Fabrique di Milano il prossimo 19 febbraio. Stiamo parlando di In This Moment, la formazione losangelina guidata dalla bellissima Maria Brink che da pochissimo ha pubblicato il nuovo album "Black Widow", anticipato dal singolo di successo "Sick Like Me".
Come ogni altra grande band hard rock, In This Moment hanno trascorso gran parte della loro decennale carriera in tour, costruendo e consolidando un’incredibile e fedele fanbase, grazie a numerosi tour da headliner e alla partecipazione ai più famosi festival internazionali, tra cui Ozzfest, Vans Warped Tour, Music As A Weapon V, Mayhem Festival 2010, Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival 2012, Carnival of Madness 2013, Soundwave 2012 e il leggendario Download Festival.

This Hubble image features a massive cluster of brightly glowing galaxies, first identified as Abell 3192. Like all galaxy clusters, this one is suffused with hot gas that emits powerful X-rays, and it is enveloped in a halo of invisible dark matter. All this unseen material – not to mention the many galaxies visible in this image – comprises such a huge amount of mass that the galaxy cluster noticeably curves spacetime around it, making it into a gravitational lens. Smaller galaxies behind the cluster appear distorted into long, warped arcs around the cluster’s edges.
The galaxy cluster is in the constellation Eridanus, but the question of its distance from Earth is a more complicated one. Abell 3192 was originally documented in the 1989 update of the Abell catalog of galaxy clusters that was first published in 1958. At that time, Abell 3192 was thought to comprise a single cluster of galaxies, concentrated at a single distance. However, further research revealed something surprising: the cluster’s mass seemed to be densest at two distinct points rather than one.
It was subsequently shown that the original Abell cluster is actually comprised of two independent galaxy clusters – a foreground group around 2.3 billion light-years from Earth, and another group at the greater distance of about 5.4 billion light-years from our planet. The more distant galaxy cluster, included in the Massive Cluster Survey as MCS J0358.8-2955, is central in this image. The two galaxy groups are thought to have masses equivalent to around 30 trillion and 120 trillion times the mass of the Sun, respectively. Both of the two largest galaxies at the center of this image are part of MCS J0358.8-2955; the smaller galaxies you see here, however, are a mixture of the two groups within Abell 3192.

This new hinge does not only look better, more residential compared to our other hinges, it is also easier to install, more price efficient and fits to Kingspan, Epco and Thyssen panels (fingersafe). Reason enough to switch to this new hinge?
This photo was taken in our backyard. We were trying for silhouettes as the sun was sinking over Jackson and caught a little sun right at Elizabeth's knee. This might not be a special photograph to people who look for ingenious and creative ideas, but this was a first attempt for us and I did a little Photoshop work using the healing brush to remove a utility pole and some wires that I felt detracted from the image. The highlight between where Elizabeth's feet would be is a ball that she and her sister had been kicking around.
This is a photo of tree reflections on a lake in Pine Grove Park. The image has been mirrored and copied twice to be symmetrical. The detail is best seen full screen.
This is my first attempt a time-lapse video. I shot it using the GX7s time-lapse facilitate and put the images together in Cyber link 12. The film was shot at Lyme Regis beach and Hardy Monument at sunset. The music is an excerpt from a piece I wrote and recorded a few years back, had great fun making this and I'd like to thank Sam for her patients.
This was gonna be a blog post but I realized almost all these items are no longer for sale. Hair from Little Bones.
This small Book of Hours is especially interesting for its profusion of humorous drolleries. Humans, animals, and hybrids are featured in the margins of each page of the book. The artists rendered in small scenes a variety of actions, like cooking, playing game, climbing, fishing, making music or moving the bodies in a dance. These drolleries amuse the faithful during his prayers, while showing scenes that work as metaphors of the soul fighting the vices. The original female owner seems to have been established in the diocese of Cambrai, judging from the use of the Office of the Dead. Several provenance episodes are evidenced by the book in the signatures on the leaves at the beginning and end of the manuscript. A priest in the sixteenth century wrote a message in code on fol. 1v asking to return to him the book if lost. Members of the ducal house of Savoy owned this book of prayer in the seventeenth century, as evidenced by the gilt armorial shield of Charles Emmanuel II (1634-75), duke of Savoy, stamped on the covers.

This female Magnificent Frigate Bird was concerned her chick was getting too hot. So she moved over and put its head under her body to keep the sun off. Second image in first comment!

This compilation video shows a chase of ARR 4006 as it leads a freight train south toward Seward. Filming locations include Rainbow, Bird Point, and Moose Pass, AK. As seen in the video, this train departed Anchorage well before sunrise which, at this time of year, didn't occur until ~1000L, so the first two locations were shot before the sun came up over the Chugach Mountains.
The tide in the Turnagain Arm, home of some of the largest boretides in the world, is on its way out. Photos and video along the Turnagain always turn out better when there's more water than not, so I was lucky to at least have some water present!
The final location in Moose Pass is, to me, a little slice of heaven. I just wish this location saw more than one or two trains per week in the winter time. If there were more trains, I'd probably camp out here for days at a time! As it is though, you have to take what you can get.
Also, Chris Laskowski, *this* is why you need to bring C. Vision Productions up here!

This manuscript was made around 1800 by an often persecuted group of Russian Christians, the “Old Believers.” Because this group frequently had its books confiscated and was denied the use of printing presses, its members continued to write important books such as this one by hand. This text chronicles and illustrates the story of a group of monks at the Solovetsky Monastery who opposed Nikon’s controversial reforms and endured a siege for eight years (1668-1676) before they were finally betrayed. Most of the monks were killed, though some escaped, and many went to the Vyg region, where the author of this book, Simeon Denisov (1682-1741), was a leader in the Old Believer community.
